“John was amazing with Theo! He was very flexible with timing and care instructions. He sent videos everyday and made sure Theo got all the love and exercise. We would definitely use John again.”
“My puppy's stay with Austin was fantastic, and he took amazing care of her. This was her first time staying with anyone but family, and Austin was incredibly patient with her and her adjustments to a new environment. I got pictures and updates every day, and she got amazing personal attention and care. I would definitely recommend Austin.”
“Emily was fantastic with Minnie! Her home is incredibly dog-friendly, with plenty of beds, blankets, and a great backyard for play. Minnie stayed for one night, went on her walks, and I felt completely confident she was in good hands. If we’re ever back in Nashville, we would definitely book Emily again. Highly recommend!”
“Julie and Josiah were wonderful! Their dog Nova is super friendly and played so well with our golden. They kept us informed on how things were going, sent pictures and made the overall experience seamless. We look forward to booking with them again!!”
“Robin was an excellent sitter for my anxious dog, Lily. She provided a lot of care and attention to Lily’s specific needs including careful introductions with her own pets, and ensuring that Lily was always as comfortable as possible in a new space. Lily is a rescue dealing with some fear issues, and Robin really went above and beyond to make her feel safe and at home. I highly recommend Robin and her sweet pup, Ladybird, who was also an excellent host.”
“My pup had the best time with Madeline! He came home happy and sleepy and enjoyed lots of walks and cuddles. He gets anxious when I board him and Madeline did such a good job making sure he was cozy.”
“Alexandra and Katya were great with my puppy Miles. They took him on walks, to the dog park, and gave him plenty of attention and let him burn off all his energy. I had no doubt that he was in good hands with them.”
About: I have experience caring for dogs through pet sitting, dog walking, drop-in visits, and extended stays in my home. Friends, family, and pet owners have trusted me to provide attentive and reliable care, whether that means feeding, exercising, grooming, or simply keeping their dogs company throughout the day. I love staying active and enjoy taking dogs on long walks around my neighborhood, Centennial Park, and the Vanderbilt area. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owner is away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and make sure they receive plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. I have a flexible schedule and enjoy staying active, which allows me to provide plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship for your dog. I’m available for dog walking, drop-in visits, daycare, and overnight stays. Long walks are one of my favorite activities, and I’m happy to adjust to your pet’s routine to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I live in an apartment with access to a dog park within the community and several walkable areas nearby. I’m also close to Centennial Park and the Vanderbilt campus, which are great locations for safe, enjoyable walks. I have experience caring for dogs in my home for extended stays, as well as providing dog walking and pet-sitting services. During visits, I can provide exercise, playtime, feeding, and lots of attention to help your dog feel happy and secure while you're away.
“Katie was so sweet with Murphy, she graciously let us do a meet and greet beforehand to make sure he and Margot were buddies (they got on famously), and was very communicative about his time there, and was diligent in administering his twice daily medications. She was flexible working with our drop off and pick up schedule and I look forward to booking with her again if the need arises!”
“This was our first time using Rover and Aubrey was amazing with our corgi Hazel. She gave us frequent photos and Hazel seemed to have the best time! We will definitely use her in the future!”
“Trey is THE man! We left our dog with Trey for a long weekend. Trey was very responsive, shared great updates, and most importantly took GREAT care of our dog. Our dog was treated as Trey’s own — went on daily walks, had rest time and play time, and was able to play with Treys two very well behaved doodles.”
“I only trust Laura with my dear Ivy ❤️ we went on a trip for 2 weeks and Laura took the best care of Ivy, as she always does! This was Ivy’s longest time away from us, but she had the best time playing with Gidget and Jax, and all her friends.”
“Allison did an amazing job taking care of Misha for a week. Allison posted photos ans videos on a daily basis. Misha has had plenty of exercise, and even made friends with Priya, Allison's dog. I would highly recommend Allison!!!”
“Teresa was great with the pups. She kept me updated on their daily vacation and contacted me with any questions! Would definitely book with her again.”
“We had such a great experience with Ritch and his family! They took such good care of Henry, were so communicative, flexible and kind. We really appreciated it and will definitely use them again in the future!”
“We are new puppy owners and boarded our dog for the first overnight stay with Marissa. Marissa was wonderful and so caring to our sweet puppy who had some separation anxiety. Would 100% referral her to others as drop off/pick up was easy and her communication was fantastic. We are using her again in a few weeks so now will be a repeat customer.”
“Soba stayed with Tara for two days, she enjoyed her time with Tara. The photos that Tara sent us was just too cute. Tara’s place has a dog park and the neighborhood is very dog friendly.”
About: 16 years of experience — I’ll keep your lil nugget spoiled, fed, and safe, with calm care, attention, and everything they need while you’re away. I come home on my lunch break, and the neighborhood is great for relaxed, scenic walks. I make sure pets are comfortable, cared for, and have everything they need. The neighborhood is very dog-friendly, with nearby parks and plenty of space for fresh air, sniffing, and happy little breaks. We’ll enjoy our time outside.

“Whitney was incredible! This was my first time being away from my cat since I got him, so I had a million questions and lots of little things to note. She handled everything I asked—and more. I was nervous leaving my cat with a stranger, but she completely put me at ease. I will absolutely be booking with her again!”
“I cannot recommend Abigail enough! She is the BEST cat sitter. You would think that with cats there's not much to do, but she cleaned the litter box, changed the food and water, hand-fed them treats, and actually interacted with them. She really maximized her time during drop ins, which I so appreciated! She also sent me so many great pictures after each visit. It was great getting to see them so much while I was away, and it was such a relief to know they were being well taken care of. Book Abigail! I love her, my cats love her, and you'll love her!”
“Jordan took care of our 4 cats over the past 10 days for home visits and were very thankful to receive communication and updates each day. We had some nuanced instructions and Kordan was very flexible and handled our needs well. We’ll work with Jordan again in the future!”
“Once again, Ellen was the best sitter for my fur babies! Didn’t have to worry about them while we were out of the country because we knew they were in good hands!! Highly recommend!”
“Stephanie did a great job at caring for my 3 y/o cat while i was away for a few weeks! She performed her tasks independently, skillfully navigating my building/apartment's modern technology. I would love to have her again.”
“I have a very skiddish cat so for me to leave her with Hannah and know my cat was comfortable enough to come out and get some attention while I was gone was very reassuring! My cat was well fed and well loved while I was traveling and I'm very appreciate to know I can trust Hannah to do it again!”
“I am absolutely so grateful that Sabrina was able to take care of my little loves while I was out of town. She did an amazing job sending me detailed report cards with such cute pics. It is easy to tell that Sabrina is an extremely sweet person and loves kitties! Absolutely recommend and will be using her the next time I need a sitter. ❤️”
“Tahreem was great and I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing my cat Bronco was in good hands. She was very communicative and shared great photos. Definitely recommend!”
“LeAnn was absolutely fabulous! She cared for my baby boy and he seemed like he was living the good life. I received a lot of updated photos (loved flipping through the images and seeing my sweet heart. There's no such thing as too many photos.). Churro was SO happy that he even rolled over and showed LeAnn his tummy😭🐱💖✨️ Seeing Churro happy and well cared for made my experience with LeAnn a 5/5 star😎👍✨️”
“Very conscientious and a real ‘wonder’ with my very shy kitty – Patra! Within ONE visit she developed such a rapport with Patra! She comes packed empathy and kindness for your pet as well as you and your home! An absolute joy to have as a kitty sitter!”
“Kendra was amazing with my shy boy, Felix. She was patient and showed up every day on time and stayed for the perfect amount of time. Will be reaching out to Kendra in the future!”
“Taylor was amazing. She checked in on our cats while we were away for a few days and they were healthy and happy when we came home. I would highly recommend Taylor for your pet care needs and would not hesitate to ask her to help us out in the future when needed. Thank you Taylor for doing such an amazing job!”
About: Have been caring for dogs since I was a kid, and many different breeds across the years. Labs, setters, and various shepherds. I also owned a rabbit growing up and have cared for horses. I work fully remotely and have a flexible schedule. I can easily stop for bathroom breaks while housesitting, go on walks during the day, or work remotely anywhere with wifi. I love to read and have put a lot of time into understanding dog body language, respectful touch for pets, and also just love to see them happy and content. Any dog I care for I would treat as my own.
“Juliet was great with my cat Mustard and really helped me out by checking on her while I was out of town for Thanksgiving! She did a meet and greet beforehand and was great with communication. She provided updates on food, litter, and playtime after each visit. I definitely recommend booking with her!”

“Robin was amazing. Attentive and communicated well. She kept my pup super active while she had her and went above expectation of what was asked. Thank you so much!”
“Emily took wonderful care of my fur baby, Sugar, while we were visiting Nashville. She has a large fenced yard where the dogs can play, and I appreciated the extra safety measures she took. Emily put Sugar’s collar on in addition to her harness in case she somehow got loose, which showed me she was thinking ahead and treating Sugar like one of her own. Before I left, Emily carefully introduced Sugar to the other dogs and made sure everyone got along and that Sugar was comfortable. That gave me tremendous peace of mind. I felt completely comfortable leaving my girl in her care, and it was obvious Sugar was well loved and well cared for while we were away. I would happily trust Emily with Sugar again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and conscientious pet sitter.”
About: Welcome to my profile! For 6 years I’ve shared my life with a rescue dog (Buster) and have walked and boarded dogs regularly since moving to Nashville in 2024. Buster loves having company around! I’m especially good with shy or protective rescues, but I can accommodate any size or breed of dog. Puppies are welcome as well. Calm energy, reliable routines, and great care guaranteed. Quick weekend getaway? Running out of town on a last-minute notice? 2 week Vacation? Just reach out and let me know what dates you need covered and I’m your guy! Buster has proven to be a good hang for any dog. You can ensure that your dog will not be bored or bothered! From long walks by the river to movie nights chilling on the couch, my spot has proven to be a great place to host your pup. Send me a request and I will be quick to respond! I understand that leaving your pup with a complete stranger can be a bit nerve-wracking. Especially if your dog has any specific needs. Worrying about how your dog is doing while you’re out of town is the last thing need to be concerned about. I will make sure to set up a meet-and-greet prior to your pup’s stay to ensure that trust is established and that you are comfortable and confident in the decision to book with me 🤙 I can work around whatever your needs are! My job is flexible and I can work from home. You can guarantee that your dog will be given proper attention and exercise throughout the duration of their stay. Safe, dog-proofed home in an apartment complex right by the riverwalk with lots of dog-friendly accommodations. Will follow your exact routines and needs. And of course, daily photos and updates!
“Teresa was super friendly, helpful, efficient, and flexible. She made our first time using Rover very comfortable. Coco loved taking a break from our crazy vacation to hang out while we toured some museums.”
About: We consistently watch friends’ dogs and have grown up with dogs our whole life. Our friends and neighbors rely on us to take care of their loving pets. We have plenty of time to love on your pup since we are on summer break! We are currently on summer break, so we have plenty of time to take care of your dog and provide them with loving care! This is our only summer job, so all attention can go to your dog! We live in a gated community with a large dog park. We have access to other dogs that your pup can play with, and our apartment also has a pet washing station where we can bathe your dog! We also have space for your dog to roam in our home, and have a toy basket for them to choose toys to play with. We also have blankets they can lay on when sitting on the couch.
About: Hi! I'm Allison, and as a devoted dog mom myself, I know how nerve-wracking it can be to leave your pup with someone new. My goal is to make both you and your dog feel as comfortable as possible by providing a calm, safe, and loving home while you're away. I recently moved back to Nashville after spending seven years in Denver. Before that, I cared for dogs through Rover here in Nashville and was fortunate to build relationships with many wonderful repeat clients. I'm so excited to have the time and space in my schedule to welcome dogs into my home again! I work from home, so your dog will have plenty of companionship throughout the day. My dog, Birdie, is an 8.5 lb sweetheart who loves making new friends but is just as happy spending the afternoon snoozing beside me. Because we live in an apartment and enjoy a quieter lifestyle, I exclusively board small dogs (open to medium if we sound like a good fit!) who thrive in a calm environment. Every dog is different, and I want to keep their routine as consistent as possible. Whether they have a favorite toy, specific feeding schedule, medications, or little quirks that help them feel at home, I'd love to hear all about them. Birdie takes a nightly pill, so I'm comfortable administering oral medications and am happy to keep up with your dog's medication schedule while they're in my care. Birdie is crated when I’m not home, but if your dog prefers to free roam that is totally okay. I'll treat your pup with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone else, and I don't take that responsibility lightly. If you're looking for a peaceful home where your dog will be cared for like family, I'd love to meet you and your pup! Pet care is already a part of my everyday routine! I work from home, so I'm able to provide plenty of companionship, potty breaks, and individualized attention throughout the day. My dog, Birdie, and I enjoy a calm lifestyle with walks when the weather is nice, lots of downtime, and plenty of cuddles. I'll do my best to keep your dog's routine as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable and at home during their stay. Your dog's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I only board small dogs (medium dogs are welcome if we seem like a good fit!) so everyone has plenty of space to relax, and because I work from home, they'll be supervised and have lots of companionship throughout the day. I take time to learn each dog's routine, preferences, and any medical needs so I can make their stay feel as familiar and stress-free as possible. My goal is for your pup to feel like they're staying with family, not just a sitter.
About: I am very diligent in safeguarding the pets in my care. I am kind and affectionate and I will respect your rules. I have been a pet owner for over 25 years. I have also been involved in caring for and rescuing many pets over the years. This has been my great joy. My home is pet friendly and pet safe. I understand how it feels to leave your beloved pets and I know how much it means to know that your sweet ones are feeling happy and well loved while you are away. I enjoy sending my clients pics of their pets during their stay. Providing secure accommodations and a fun place to stay is paramount. This is my absolute purpose, goal, and pleasure. Pet sitting is my only job. I am home all day. With your approval, your dogs will be free to enjoy inside or outside. I have a secure privacy fence and a pet door for easy access. Of course, if you prefer a more regimented potty break schedule and time outside, I am happy to oblige. I allow dogs to make themselves at home. Sitting on furniture is a-okay. (as long as you approve.) I will certainly respect your rules. I like our dog visitors to be comfortable, feeling safe and welcome. I have a ChiWeenie; who sleeps A LOT and keeps to herself mostly; however, she is friendly. I also have a very friendly and playful Jack Russell/Beagle mix who enjoys company. My yard is secure and fun. We also have patio furniture they can lounge on. I keep our upstairs access gated. Of course, I will follow your instruction in regard to their sleeping. I am happy to do a “meet and greet” prior to your scheduling.
About: I'm an avid walker who genuinely lives for time with animals — so this isn't just a side gig, it's basically what I do anyway! So adding your pup to my route is genuinely a highlight of my day. I've spent the past year as the unofficial pet caretaker for a growing roster of dog and cat nieces and nephews — walks, check-ins, cuddles, the works. I don't have my own dogs right now (long story, involves a breakup), which honestly just means yours gets my whole heart. I take this seriously, I'm reliable, and I will send you the best photos. I work a hybrid schedule, which means real flexibility. Lunch walks are totally doable with a little advance notice, and mornings and evenings are wide open for both short strolls and longer adventures. 🌿👒 Germantown local, flexible on pickup, and yes — I talk to animals 🔮 (not in a werid way I promise!). I truly believe they understand us, and a little conversation goes a long way for mental stimulation. Physical needs are a given. The extra love is just who I am.🫶🏽
“Katherine was great, she was so nice and Benny seemed so happy and relaxed after he left her house. She took him for a walk, and sent updates and photos. I highly recommend her!”
About: -Worked for an Animal Chiropractor for 4 years, I also was hired to pet sit some of my clients fur babies. -Worked doggy day care and was a kennel technician at a pet resort for 2 years - interned at a wolf sanctuary for 1 year -volunteered at a free roam cat shelter for 2 years I work remotely as a customer service representative, so I'm home throughout the day and have a flexible schedule to provide plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and potty breaks. I'm also an avid traveler, so I don't currently have pets of my own. Rover is the perfect way for me to enjoy the companionship I've been missing while giving your pet lots of love, care, and attention in a safe, comfortable environment. I currently reside in an apartment that boasts a secure, gated courtyard in the complex. Also, there is great walking and parks in my area.
About: Hi everyone, I’m Bre! I tried Rover briefly back in 2022 before becoming a full-time foster dog mom. I’m excited to give it another try! I work a normal Monday-Friday office job but I work next door to my apartment community! So I can walk over to take dogs on walks multiple times a day. My fiancé works from home so he will be there all day as well. Pets are my favorite roommates! I live in a beautiful apartment community that’s full of dogs. I do have permission to dog sit from management! Dogs are welcome to free roam my apartment
“Nola had a great first day with Maggie. It made me so happy knowing she was in good hands and had a fenced in yard to play in. Maggie sent great photos all day, and Nola smelled so good at pick up! Definitely going to keep Maggie for future visits!”
“Paris took wonderful care of my 6month old rescue pup for his first time ever at daycare. Paris is friendly, responsive, provides good updates about your pet (photos and videos, too) and my boy had a blast making new friends!”
“Daria is literally the BEST when it comes to someone watching your pup. I have a brand new puppy (now 3 months old) and work 12 hours shifts. Daria was always willing to be up early to let me drop off Mack on the way into work and grab her on my way back from work. I genuinely felt like Daria loved Mack as her own and always felt as ease when Mack was with her. She sent me plenty of pictures throughout the day and now Mack has a new best friend, Boone. Thank you Daria :)”
About: I’ve had dogs in the house all of my life and grew up taking care of my neighbors dogs as well. I have experience with dogs ranging all over from 5 lbs to 80 lbs! Most of my experience is taking care of a labor doodle and cat pairing where I managed both their schedules and needs accordingly! :) Caring for pets is a natural part of my daily routine, and I prioritize consistency, attention, and making sure each pet feels comfortable and cared for. I build my schedule around regular feeding times, fresh water, exercise, and quality time, whether that means walks, playtime, or just being present and attentive to their needs. I genuinely enjoy incorporating pet care into my routine and treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I’m always respectful of others’ homes! If there is an alarm system I’m happy to set it or inform the owner of every entrance/exit so the owner can set it in order to ensure the safety of their pet and belongings!
“Toni is wonderful with Koda. She takes great care of him and he loves being at her home with her dog, Quincy! We always feel at ease when Koda is with Toni. Great communication and very caring. We appreciate her very much.”
“As always Laura treats our precious Ivy like her own! Ivy had so much fun playing with Gidget and the fluffy toys. They love to run in the backyard together. Can’t wait for Ivy to come back!”

“Abigail is such a great caretaker for our dog, Charlotte. It is so great to have someone so reliable and trustworthy and beloved by dogs to care for her when we are away. I can't recommend Abigail enough!”
About: I've been a dog lover my entire life and have had four different dogs throughout my life, giving me experience with a variety of breeds, sizes, personalities, and life stages. When I was 10 years old, I started my own neighborhood dog walking and plant watering business, which taught me responsibility, reliability, and the importance of caring for other people's pets as if they were my own. I know every dog has their own routine and personality, and I enjoy taking the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and happy. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, or simply some extra love and attention, I'll provide dependable, compassionate care and treat them like one of my own. I'll be starting graduate school at Vanderbilt this fall, so pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I'll be available after my classes to provide walks, drop-in visits, and quality time with your pets. Spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and I look forward to making it a regular part of my week while helping busy pet owners ensure their pets receive the care, exercise, and attention they deserve. I believe pets are happiest when they can stick to their normal routine. Whether I'm taking your dog for a walk, stopping by for a drop-in visit, or caring for your pet in your home, I'll follow your instructions closely to make sure they feel comfortable and well cared for. I'll provide plenty of exercise, playtime, fresh water, and lots of love and attention while treating both your pet and your home with the same care and respect I would my own.
About: Hi, I’m Nicole! I’m a recent graduate of Vanderbilt University and a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds. I grew up with cats and have always had at least one in the house, so caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. When I was 12, I rescued my first dog — a senior teacup Chihuahua named Bella — and cared for her for nearly 8 wonderful years. That experience taught me just how important it is to find someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for your pets when you’re away. Throughout high school, I volunteered at my local animal shelter, where I worked with cats and dogs of all ages and temperaments, as well as assisting in the clinic. I also have about 7 years of professional pet and house-sitting experience, primarily caring for cats and medium to large dogs in their own homes. I love taking dogs on walks, making sure they get exercise, fresh air, and plenty of attention while keeping them comfortable in their normal routine. My top priority is making sure your pets feel safe, happy, loved, and stress-free while you’re away — so you can feel stress-free too. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family member! As a recent graduate, my schedule is open as I career search. I have availability all week when I am in town and look forward to connecting with you to see what will work best for you and your fur baby! As of right now I am not taking any boarding clients. While in your home, your pup or kitty will have eyes on them to make sure they are safe and not getting into trouble!
“Could not have asked for a better first experience using Rover! Lara was incredible, I have nothing but great things to say. She really went above and beyond anything I could have expected. This was the first trip I’ve gone on in a while where I was not concerned about how my dog was doing back home. She would give me constant updates and send me pictures letting me know just how much fun they were having together. I will 100% be letting her watch over my dog in the future. 10/10, highly recommend!!!!”
“Kirstie goes above and beyond and I'm so glad we found her to take care of our pup while we're at work. We contacted her with short notice and she is a life saver for us and our dog. Would highly recommend her!”

About: For the past 10 years, I have dedicated myself to pet sitting, providing long walks, boarding, and even some training. Growing up, I was never able to have pets of my own, so pet sitting has given me the joy of welcoming, many animals into my life as a part of my extended family. My reliability, friendliness, and patience, have allowed me to build trusting relationships with both pets and their owners, ensuring that every pet in my care feels safe, loved and wellcared for. I am in the works to enter graduate school, allowing for plenty of time to take care of your pet babies. Caring for them would make my day a bit more brighter Your pets are allowed in my home as my own, lots of cuddles, walks, and love. When at your home I will make sure to follow all task asked, play time, and many belly rubs
About: My fiancé, Martha, and I both came from dog families and have had various breeds our whole lives! Despite my best efforts to not be a “cat person” too, they have always gravitated toward me and eventually wore me down so I’m a sucker for a cat purr now too. Plenty of experience dog- and cat-sitting for friends over the years, in addition to the ones we’ve owned. It’s only recently that we don’t currently have our own, so we’d love to love on your fur-babies when you’re not able to! We both work hybrid jobs (some in the office, some at home) with incredible flexibility in our day to day schedules. Recently engaged and no kids (and currently no pets of our own), so we have plenty of free time and are missing our pet snugs! Your pets are welcome in our home as long as they are housebroken. We have a fenced in back yard, albeit somewhat small, and no competing pets at either of our immediate neighbors’ houses. We love walking the neighborhood and try to go for a walk everyday, so this is a great excuse to keep that up while making some new friends with the neighborhood fur-babies!
About: After years of loving and training family pets, I began my fostering experience where I placed over 5 dogs to new families! Hoping to continue my love of animals in a new city! I work remotely in Germantown, and I'm flexible to daily midday visits! Whether it is for feeding, a walk, or a quick check-in, I'm happy to help! I am able to host pets for short periods of time. I live an apartment complex, but have access to multiple nearby parks. Overnights possible for right fit.
“Anna went above and beyond while caring for my dog. When my dog stepped on a bee, she stayed calm, removed the stinger right away, and kept me informed throughout. Her quick thinking and compassion made a stressful situation feel manageable, and I’m so grateful to have someone who cares for my dog like her own!”
About: I have a large range of availability. Although I am a newer at dog sitting/walking professionally, I have been raised around cats and dogs my entire life and assisted in taking care of them. Whether that be long walks or play time, I am kind and gentle around all animals. I am responsible, and willing to accommodate to any needs your pet has. My goal is to love your animal as much as you do! I can do early mornings or late afternoons! Also flexible with days off and weekends! I am very communicative and provide lots of pictures during visits ! I am very good at following detailed instructions. I will be responsible with your space and pet! Showing animals love is a favorite past time.
About: Hi! I’m Morgan. I’ve always been the person friends and family call when they need someone they trust to look after their pets, and I’d love to be that person for you too. I’ve cared for pets of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior cats, and I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, medications, playtime, and of course, lots of cuddles. Fair warning: there’s a very good chance I’ll become your pet’s biggest fan. Expect lots of photos, compliments about how cute they are, and updates that might make you smile as much as they do. Based in Germantown with a flexible schedule, I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and last-minute bookings when I can. My goal is simple: for you to come home to a happy pet who feels loved, safe, and cared for. Can’t wait to meet your fur baby! I work from home part time so my schedule is very flexible right now. I’m able to fit pet care naturally into my days. Whether it’s daily drop-ins, weekend walks, or longer sits, I’m happy to build my schedule around what your pet needs most. When I’m caring for pets in their own home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I follow your instructions closely — from feeding times to walks, playtime, and any special care needs. I make sure your space stays clean and tidy, and I always treat your home with the same respect I’d want someone to treat mine. My goal is for your pets to feel happy and safe in their own environment while you’re away.
About: As someone who has an unhealthy obsession with her own dog, I understand how important it is to know your dog is being taken care of while you're gone. I have spent a ton of time scouring Rover and going to meet and greets trying to find the right person for my needs and finally decided that I'd help do my part to make the search easier for others in my shoes by opening my home in West End to pups while their parents are away! Being raised with dogs, bunnies, birds, and even a chinchilla, animals have always played an important role in my life. I started my own neighborhood dog walking/boarding business when I was 11 (charging a whopping $1/walk - sorry to say my rates have increased 😉) and then became an official Furry Godmother after college to earn some extra cash to help me pay off student loans. *Guaranteed to spam you with tons of photos of your dog while you're away or your money back. 📸 I'm currently working full-time from my home in West End so I have a very flexible schedule. Typically it includes a quick walk in the morning and over lunch with a longer walk or trip to the dog park after work, but my schedule can always be adapted to meet the needs of your pup. I have a fenced-in porch that my dog loves to sunbathe on and I'm sure yours will too! My dog is free-roaming (RIP to my new couch), but is crated at night. She's super easygoing and loves other dogs. Happy to crate yours, let them roam free, or a mixture of both. Whatever you and your dog need to feel comfortable in my home can be done.
“Kendra did a great job walking my dog, Chewie! She took him on long walks and sent me really nice pictures that reassured me he was happy and well cared for. I appreciated knowing he was in good hands, and I’d definitely use her again in the future.”
About: I have been pet sitting and dog walking since I was 15 :) I love all aged pups and love long walks with them! Currently a Nurse at Vanderbilt and I am saving up money for my fiancé' and I's wedding next year :) I currently work 7-5 on M,W, TH, F. I am available after 6 any of those days and all day on Tuesdays and weekends. I am also available early mornings around 5am if needed :) I treat every dog in a way that fits their needs. I understand that some pups need time to warm up to new faces and some of them love new friends! I am happy to discuss your pets needs.

“John was amazing with Theo! He was very flexible with timing and care instructions. He sent videos everyday and made sure Theo got all the love and exercise. We would definitely use John again.”
“My puppy's stay with Austin was fantastic, and he took amazing care of her. This was her first time staying with anyone but family, and Austin was incredibly patient with her and her adjustments to a new environment. I got pictures and updates every day, and she got amazing personal attention and care. I would definitely recommend Austin.”
“Emily was fantastic with Minnie! Her home is incredibly dog-friendly, with plenty of beds, blankets, and a great backyard for play. Minnie stayed for one night, went on her walks, and I felt completely confident she was in good hands. If we’re ever back in Nashville, we would definitely book Emily again. Highly recommend!”
“Julie and Josiah were wonderful! Their dog Nova is super friendly and played so well with our golden. They kept us informed on how things were going, sent pictures and made the overall experience seamless. We look forward to booking with them again!!”
“My pup had the best time with Madeline! He came home happy and sleepy and enjoyed lots of walks and cuddles. He gets anxious when I board him and Madeline did such a good job making sure he was cozy.”
“Alexandra and Katya were great with my puppy Miles. They took him on walks, to the dog park, and gave him plenty of attention and let him burn off all his energy. I had no doubt that he was in good hands with them.”
“Katie was so sweet with Murphy, she graciously let us do a meet and greet beforehand to make sure he and Margot were buddies (they got on famously), and was very communicative about his time there, and was diligent in administering his twice daily medications. She was flexible working with our drop off and pick up schedule and I look forward to booking with her again if the need arises!”
“This was our first time using Rover and Aubrey was amazing with our corgi Hazel. She gave us frequent photos and Hazel seemed to have the best time! We will definitely use her in the future!”
“Trey is THE man! We left our dog with Trey for a long weekend. Trey was very responsive, shared great updates, and most importantly took GREAT care of our dog. Our dog was treated as Trey’s own — went on daily walks, had rest time and play time, and was able to play with Treys two very well behaved doodles.”
“Allison did an amazing job taking care of Misha for a week. Allison posted photos ans videos on a daily basis. Misha has had plenty of exercise, and even made friends with Priya, Allison's dog. I would highly recommend Allison!!!”
“Teresa was great with the pups. She kept me updated on their daily vacation and contacted me with any questions! Would definitely book with her again.”
“We had such a great experience with Ritch and his family! They took such good care of Henry, were so communicative, flexible and kind. We really appreciated it and will definitely use them again in the future!”
“We are new puppy owners and boarded our dog for the first overnight stay with Marissa. Marissa was wonderful and so caring to our sweet puppy who had some separation anxiety. Would 100% referral her to others as drop off/pick up was easy and her communication was fantastic. We are using her again in a few weeks so now will be a repeat customer.”
About: 16 years of experience — I’ll keep your lil nugget spoiled, fed, and safe, with calm care, attention, and everything they need while you’re away. I come home on my lunch break, and the neighborhood is great for relaxed, scenic walks. I make sure pets are comfortable, cared for, and have everything they need. The neighborhood is very dog-friendly, with nearby parks and plenty of space for fresh air, sniffing, and happy little breaks. We’ll enjoy our time outside.
“Zitian was very pleasant to work with. He took great care of my six puppy while we were on a long road trip and did not have any access to my regular sitters. I’ll definitely use him again the next time I’m in Nashville”
About: I’ve always loved dogs and have helped care for them for years through friends, family, and people close to me. I know how important it is to trust the person watching your dog, so I always try to make them feel as comfortable and cared for as possible. Whether your dog is super active or more laid back, I’m happy to match their routine and give them lots of attention while you’re away. I also have a King Charles Cavalier, and my roommate has a Golden Retriever, so I’m very used to being around friendly, social dogs. My schedule is pretty flexible, which makes pet sitting easy to fit into my week. I don’t work Fridays, and I’m usually home every day by 3–4 PM, sometimes earlier. I also leave later in the mornings, so dogs are not left alone for long periods of time. My roommate also works from home on Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays, so there is usually someone around during the day as well. I have a fenced-in backyard for dogs to safely play and go outside, and both dogs in the home are very friendly and love other dogs. I pay attention to routines, feeding instructions, and anything specific your dog needs to feel comfortable while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you know your dog is happy and being well taken care of.
“Super friendly, frequent updates, and able to handle strong pets! This was my first time letting my American Bully XL go stay at someone’s place. She is very alpha female when it comes to other dogs so I was clear of my concerns and he ensured it wouldn’t be a problem! Highly recommend!”
About: Hi! I’m Reganne, and I’ve been caring for dogs for over 10 years. Growing up, I regularly watched our neighbors’ four dogs—including a Boxer, Yorkie, Puggle, and mixed breed—so I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. Today I’m a proud Labrador mom myself, so I know how important it is to leave your dog with someone who will care for them like their own. I’ve experienced everything from puppy energy to medications, post-surgery recovery, and giving lots of extra love to anxious pups. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, sticking to a routine, or simply curling up on the couch for cuddles, I’m happy to tailor my care to what makes them happiest. I’ll also send plenty of photo and video updates because I know that’s what I’d want if someone were watching my own dog! My goal is simple: for you to enjoy your time away knowing your best friend is safe, loved, and having a great time. I work full-time with a flexible schedule, which allows me to come home throughout the day. Your pup will never be left alone for more than about 4 hours at a time. Before work, we’ll start the day with a walk, potty break, breakfast (if needed), and some playtime. I’ll come home midday for another potty break, exercise, and plenty of attention before returning home after work for the evening. My goal is to keep your dog’s routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. I know firsthand how hard it is to leave your dog with someone else. My goal is to make both you and your pet feel completely comfortable from the moment we meet. I’ll follow your dog’s routine as closely as possible, whether that’s medications, feeding schedules, crate training, favorite toys, or sleeping arrangements. I keep a clean, calm, pet-friendly home and believe communication is just as important as great care. You’ll receive regular photo and video updates, so you’ll always know your best friend is safe, happy, and loved.
“Alescia was a fantastic sitter! She send daily updates and photos of our 2 dachshunds which was so nice. They came home very happy and tired. Would highly recommend!”
