“We are very selective about leaving our little boy with anyone. But, we immediately felt comfortable with Megan and Kerry. They were great and Mokee had a good time. After we're away from him, he normally goes wild to see us again. This time he was "ho hum, you're back." Oddly, that makes me happy! 😂”
“Luigi had tons of fun at daycare today, thanks Ashley! Loved seeing all the pictures taken throughout his day and happy to hear he did well on his leash/walks too :)”
“Robin was amazing! What a blessing that we had the chance to find her. She took great care of our 2 small dogs and made them feel welcome! She was extremely attentive in taking care of them and their needs. Thank you Robin!!”
“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.”
“Ariana was great with my pup! She was flexible and accommodating, which I so appreciate. My pup came back tired and happy from daycare with Ariana and her pups, so I know she had a good time! Would totally recommend her to watch your kiddos!”
“Jonathan Ryan took our 5 and a half month old Goldendoodle for the day and it was well worth every penny! He communicated well and wore our pup out! Our boy came home happy and exhausted and we definitely plan to use Jonathan Ryan again!”
About: I’ve had over ten years of dog experience and love dogs! I have experience with senior dog care and can give medication to your dog throughout the day if needed. I work from home and have a fenced in patio that has turf on it. I can walk the dog multiple times a day and give it all the love and play time they need! I only use leashes when I walk your dog I don’t believe in not using a leash. I have a patio that is fenced in and I treat your dog like I would treat my own dog. My apartment is a very loving, welcoming environment.
About: Growing up, I was surrounded with pets and dogs of all breeds. I love all dogs and am currently raising my own Aussie Doodle who loves to have puppy friends around! Being a Dog Mom isn’t easy by any means, but I fully potty and house trained my pup Mocha. I work full time from home so I’m available all day to take care of any pet that stays with us. I also love being active, my own pup and I love to go on walks around the neighborhood & at centennial park! I work full time from home & I’m always available to tend to a pup’s needs. I can take pups for a walk in the morning + evening (avoiding the hot TN sun as much as possible!) as we live very close to Belmont & Centennial Park, with lots of space for pups to roam and explore! I have plenty of space for dogs to run and play around my house. Fair warning, our house does have a lot of stairs which may be more difficult on an older pup’s joints! For high energy and excited puppies, the stairs are great to get some exercise in if it’s too hot to go outside! I also always have lick mats or mental enrichment games on hand to keep a pup engaged throughout the day.
“A big thanks to Ashley for taking great care of Niko! He has a ton of energy, so I was glad he had a her and her wonderful dog Whiskey to play with. Very accommodating, and I really appreciated the photo and video updates. It was reassuring to see him happy and active. Niko was worn out by the time he went home and went straight to sleep!”
“Shelby was a huge last minute help for me and Ollie and was super flexible when I got delayed. She’s very sweet and I could tell that Ollie felt comfortable with her 🩷”
“Laura is the best! I have to drop my dog off early in the morning and often pick her up late in the evening because I work 12 hr shifts. My dog has the best time hanging with Laura and her pups”
“Carolyn is so patient and caring with my 5 month old puppy! Her sweet dog, Kirby, is also so welcoming. Carolyn was very flexible with drop off changes and is wonderful to work with. Could not recommend more!”
“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!”
About: I love dogs with all my heart and I'm always looking for a good time with them. I can exercise them and play with them to keep them healthy and happy. I grew up with two dogs of my own, one big and one small, one old and one young so I have experience in both fields. They no longer live with me as I moved away to Nashville. I'm just looking for a part-time job to make some currency. I work from home so I am able to step away to care for your dog multiple times a day. I am available at random times throughout the day and I am sure I can work something out. I promise to take good care of your loved ones and to treat them like my own. Thanks! - Jessie I work from home to I have random hours where I can take a break typically every 2 hours to play or walk with your loved ones. If you're looking for dog boarding I live right near Centennial park and love taking walks with your dog around there. It's great exercise and healthy to be outside for them.
“Jonathan and Saori are wonderful caregivers for dogs! Our puppy was extremely well looked after, and calm and content when I picked her up. I trust them completely and look forward to using their services again.”
“Brittany is great! I love that there are other dogs for my puppy to play with and Brittany is also super attentive to my puppy that can be quite clingy sometimes. I loved how many photos she sends of my dog through the day and feel very comforted knowing she’s in great care!”

About: Since I was a child, I’ve been around many different kinds of pets. I grew up with great danes in the house, as well as multiple cats and other small rodents. Now my family owns a very happy doodle named Griffon. I grew up watching my family’s dogs as well as other dogs and cats in my neighborhood. Currently I live in Nashville with my 6 year old beagle named Emmy. I love all kinds of animals and would love to meet your furbaby! I’m currently taking care of the home full time so I can be as attentive as needed with your pet! I normally walk Emmy three times a day, making sure at least one walk is a long walk through a park so she gets a lot of good smells and mental stimulation. Since I live in an apartment downtown, I try to take my dog out as much as possible so she doesn’t feel like she’s stuck inside all day. For this reason I don’t do overnight stays at my apartment, but I would be more than willing to house sit for someone’s animal. I always make sure the pet in the home is adequately taken care of to their energy level, I used to take my families dog on runs with me if he seemed bored.
“Ariana has been such a fabulous help and walker for my pup! He loves her, and she treats him like her own. I highly recommend her for your babies! Just don’t take my times😇 Just kidding! She is awesome!”
“Taylor did an awesome job taking my pup for a walk! She communicated the entire time, and she followed all instructions perfectly. It was clear she cared about my pup, which means a lot as his owner. I would trust Taylor with my pups in the future!”
“Danielle has been walking my dog Maggie for a few weeks now, and I would 100% recommend her. She’s always been timely on arrival, and she sends great updates with lots of photos. She’s very reliable, and I trust her to take great care of my girl!”
“Shelby is great! My dog is large, anxious, and is a little bit particular but she took all of it in stride and Nala really seems to like her. Looking forward to having her come regularly 😊”
“Fantastic sitter! We were visiting from out of town and never used Rover before. Maimee was quick to respond and flexible when we needed to adjust the schedule. She was communicative and gave us peace of mind that our pup was well taken care of. Will absolutely book again with her when we return to Nashville.”
About: Taken care of dogs of all ages and some cats too. Will be attentive to your pet for as many visits needed in a day. I’m a law student and so have flexibility to drop in during day for walks and check-ins, I am available every day of week. Afternoons typically are better I will carefully follow your instructions and pay close attention to your pet while I am with them ensuring they are being cared for and played with
“Highly recommend Juliet for anyone who is looking for a fun, smart and caring dog walker. Juliet just completed a multiple times per day assignment over almost a week and was prompt, communicative and a pleasure to get to know. We're looking forward to seeing her again soon!”
About: I've had dogs and cats my entire life and I have petsat for friends and neighbors since I was in high school! I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and ages—from energetic puppies to laid-back seniors. My own dog is 16! I have reliable transportation, am highly organized, and keep my calendar up to date so communication and scheduling are always smooth. Your pet’s routine, happiness, and well-being are my top priorities, and I strive to give you peace of mind while you’re away. I can walk or check in on animals or pet-sit at your home. I am flexible with my services so just let me know what you need and expect! I will care for your pet according to the directions provided, whatever those are! I understand how important your pets are to you and how stressful finding care for them can be.
“We LOVE Avery! She is so gentle and kind! Avery is communicative, proactive, responsive, and clear. She thinks ahead, confirms scheduling questions, sends TONS of cutie pics, is super observant and lets you know of any atypical qualities in your pet, and is beyond flexible. The first time my dog, Sasha, met Avery, she acted like they had known each other forever! What a gift to make dogs feel so safe, comfortable, and at home! We enjoy using Avery on a recurring basis for midday walks, and I'm so thankful for her availability and flexibility in scheduling! Couldn't ask for more!!”
“Thomas was amazing with my puppy & she gravitated towards him from when she first saw him. Beautiful spirit and grate with my baby. In grateful for the time you spent walking her for me. And I highly recommend.”
