Highly-rated overnight sitters - Rudderville
“Robin is an exceptional dog sitter/boader! She paid such close attention to every detail while taking care of my dog, Gracie. During her nearly week-long stay with Robin and her two young daughters, Gracie was treated with love and care. I couldn't have asked for a better experience!”
“Amazing stay for our pup Grace …. thanks for keeping her safe when the leash broke. I can only imagine what that must have felt like for you. Next stay Grace will be on an e-collar, but she will respond to a leash as well. It’s more of a tickle prompt to get her attention for no pulling on the leash. Thanks so much for loving out pup.”
“Jessica and her family were so sweet! I loved receiving photo updates of my dog during her stay - it looked like she had a great time and was well taken care of. Will definitely book with Jessica again!”
“Isabella (and family) took such good care of our pup, Dodge, this weekend. This is the first time leaving him with a sitter and she took away all our concerns with daily pictures and sweet updates. We will definitely be reaching out again the next time we need a sitter and would happily recommend her to anyone! Thank you, Isabella!”
“Melissa is the best! This is the second time she’s taken care of our senior Chihuahua. I feel very at ease knowing he’s with her. Highly recommend! Thank you Melissa.”

“Our first time with Brent & Kaitlin and they were fabulous! Loved the pictures they sent of Kobe and he was soooo tired when he got home, the best sitters! Thank you!”
“So grateful to have Alexis and her family to board our dog, Bear. They are reliable, keep us well updated, and are so good with our Bear. Will definitely continue using their services!”
“Marcus was the perfect choice for keeping our senior dog. He was so attentive. He cared for Rex like he would his own dog. He sends pictures and updates frequently. When issues arose, Marcus reached out immediately and asked for guidance and offered assistance. I was able to fully relax and enjoy our family trip knowing that Marcus was keeping Rex exercised, fed and cuddled.”
“Such an incredible experience for us and our pups. Pam brought our dogs in like they were her own and they had the most wonderful stay. Will absolutely be using her again.”
“We appreciate Simone sooo much! She is so wonderful with our dog and it shows how much she cares for all of the dogs in her care! We feel so safe leaving ours with her!”
“We are so thankful we found Deborah. Our pup had the best time and came home so happy. Deborah sent regular pictures and updates and made us feel at ease that our girl was being taken care of :)”
“Kristin was so kind and easy to work with. Her set up was perfect for Ren to have space to run and play and be safe. I appreciated the pics she sent of him playing with her dog, Walter. We will certainly choose Kristin again for future pet needs! Highly recommend!”
“We are so happy to have found Sharon to watch our goldendoodle puppy. She took the best care of our dog while we were away. We were able to fully enjoy our trip knowing our little guy was in such good hands. I also loved the daily photo and video updates we got while we were away. We will definitely book with Sharon again!”

“Steven was amazing with our animals! We felt very safe with him watching our cats and he sent the best photos and always kept us updated. He’s easy to work with, communicative, and always had our pets best interest in mind. Highly recommend hiring him!”
About: As a cat owner myself, I have an understanding of how every cat has their own routine, personality, and that every cat can be different. While caring for two cats of my own, I have seen how different they act. I am great at tending to their routines, and I am very great at feeding, cleaning litter boxes, playing with them, and giving cats the space they need. Whether your cat is playful and social or prefers a quiet, relaxed environment, I'll make sure they receive attentive, loving care while you're away. My goal is to make your cat feel safe, comfortable, and cared for until you return home.
“We had wonderful experiences with Jacey as our cat sitter. She was kind and helpful. Our kitties are comfortable and well cared for when it'son her watch. We definitely recommend her and will book again!”
About: I have experience caring of both my own dogs and my friend’s dogs since middle school! I have cared for dogs that range from anywhere from a terrier to a Great Dane:) I grew up with two beagles that pulled like crazy on walks, and currently live with a timid pitbull. It’s safe to say I can handle it all! I’m a college student home for break with no plans of picking up a part time job. I’m home till January and am in need of something to fill my time! As a longtime dog owner I understand the importance of your dog’s routine. I’m willing to do my best to carry out whatever it is your pet may need. I have experience crating dogs, walking dogs, and much more!
About: Been around pets my whole life, with experience walking my neighbors dog daily who did not get along well with others. This taught me how to control and help her thrive. I work in the entertainment industry, which usually includes early mornings and late nights, making it easy to include pet care during my day. Gig work also leaves plenty of days empty as well I like to make sure companions feel loved and uniquely cared for. I go out of my way to take careful notes, even on minor things, to keep health up first.
About: I grew up with multiple cats in the house. From inside cats to outside cats I made sure they were fed, hydrated, and inside for a cozy sleep. The first animal we had in the house was a cat and that cat grew old with my grandmother and loved every moment with the family. Shortly after his passing we adopted two more kittens and raised them. They are the most well behaved and potty trained cats. They love to go outside but know they are always welcome to stay inside and always have to come inside before the family goes to bed. Growing up with cats has showed me how to take care, love, and care for the cutest furry animals.
About: As well as sitting for the man’s/woman’s best friends, I have had my fair share of caring for cats as well! I have a cat of my own that I rescued when I was 12, now I am 23, and he is my best friend. Best cat I have ever had. I have also cared for 2 kitties in two separate occasions in my time as a professional pet sitter. Cats are very different from dogs, in terms of being cared for, but just as loving and playful as dogs can be.
About: I have been pet sitting for years. I have been hired by the same neighbors to keep coming back. I enjoy playing and caring for all types of pets. I am currently a college student at Columbia State in Franklin. I only have one class a day online, so I will be available throughout the weekdays and weekends. I would make the pet feel as comfortable as possible while the owner is away. Also, give them excess attention and focus on their health.
About: When I'm home from college, I live on a street that has lots of pets, so for the past 7ish years, my neighbors have asked me to pet sit while they have been out of town. At home, I have a senior dog and a small dog with 3 legs, so I have experience with both seniors and disabled dogs. I am a college student, so my schedule is pretty flexible. I don't have many in-person classes, so I should be available most of the time. I care for pets by taking them on walks throughout the day, ensuring they have enough water, feeding them at the appropriate times, administering their medication, and playing with them during the day.
About: I’ve had a cat every year of my life. I only put 4 years of experience because that’s when I can Say I got a cat of my own who relied on me fully for care. In college I got a cat who is pictured with me and became my best friend. I have experience with administering medication and helping with pills also. I cant Wait to treat your fur baby like my own!
About: Hi! I’ve been pet sitting and dog walking since I was about 7. I grew up around dogs, cats, and even horses, and was always trusted by family and friends to take care of/love on their animals. For them I can bathe, feed, play with, clean up messes, so on and so forth. I will treat them like they’re my own while you’re gone! I’m currently on the hunt for a new full time job in my area, but meanwhile have been picking up side gigs and freelancing opportunities. Needless to say, my schedule is very flexible and I am more than willing to put as much time as necessary into making your pets feel happy! I live in a house with my fiance and some family members, as well as two dogs. Everytime my family members leave out of town or even throughout the day, they trust that their pups are in good hands.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Rudderville
“Mary Beth, wonderful host for Bentley he was immediately at home. She and her lovely family took great care of him. He was only there for maybe close to 4 hours, but it was a worry free time for me. I highly recommend her services.”
“The attention and care Luke receives is 5* all the way. I get pix throughout the day and along with playing with other pups in a secure fenced back yard, they each get a walk in their neighborhood. Luke comes home tired and happy.”
“Katie is amazing! She made my pups feel so loved, they came home happy and tired from having such a blast! They wanted to stay longer to keep playing! She treats them like family and it made me feel at ease knowing that she takes care of them the way I do.”

“Simone was an absolutely wonderful sitter for Liam! At first I was a little hesitant because I saw she had three dogs, but do not let that deter you. Her dogs are so cute , and friendly, and my dog had such a fun time with them. In fact it was a plus!!! Her husband was also very kind with Liam. I highly recommend Simone.. and I would use her again in a heartbeat!!”
About: **Due to extreme heat this summer I will use my discretion with shortening walks for your dog’s health** Current work schedule: I go in office 3 days a week but I can possibly I can flex my days. Available for services with that in mind! I need at least a week for new clients to schedule a meet & greet! I do not accept daycare & boarding without one because I require our pets to meet ahead of time so we can assess if they would be a good fit together. Aside from growing up with small dogs all around, I have solo cared for my senior rescue for the last 6 years up until his passing of old age. I have experience with both puppy and senior dog care, and am very careful with any physical concerns such as arthritis. I have experience administering oral medication both through treats and syringing food. I will love to hang out with your baby whether it’s going on walks, playing, or just coexisting - I’ve done it all. The best feeling I have is knowing I’ve given my dog a life full of love and enrichment, and I’m happy to help as you do the same for yours. I also have owned a cat and cat sit for friends and am more than happy to drop in on them and show them some love! I am definitely also a huge cat lady. I am very patient and understanding that I am a visitor to your pet and I will respect their boundaries while they are under my care. In case of emergency, I already have Battleground (Royal Oaks), Bluepearl (Mallory) and Banfield (Carothers) info saved and have experience with all 3 vets in Franklin. I currently have a full time job, but am generally off by 3-4 and my nights and weekends are pretty open! Some days I work from home so I’m around the area. I currently live in a 1BR apartment, have a balcony but there are paths and a dog park even within my complex, so there’s no shortage of areas to walk! I always keep my babies on leash.
“Alexandrea took great care of our dogs and was very flexible with our drop off and pick up times. I highly recommend her as a pet sitter if you are looking for one in this area!”
“Lisa is phenomenal! I was visiting from out of town, and she absolutely came to the rescue! She is caring, compassionate, responsible, intuitive, and joyful!!! My little dog LOVED going to day care at Lisa's and was at home immediately in Lisa's care. Please don't hesitate to use Lucy for your dog care needs. She is the best!!!”

About: My name is Isabella, a stay-at-home mom of three who has always been surrounded by animals. Growing up in Colombia, I began caring for pets at the age of 15, starting with my family, friends, and neighbors. My love for animals led me to work with nonprofit organizations for years. Now that I’m in the USA, I’m excited to bring my experience and passion for animals to you and your pets. I have a dog, a cat, and a ferret at home, so I understand how much pets mean to a family.

“We recently adopted a dog and were worried he was snot getting enough exercise. Although 3 years old, our Billy still has puppy energy. We wanted someone to walk him while we were both at work therefore, we turned to Rover. We contacted Jenna and did a meet and greet the next day. She came prepared with an iPad taking notes as we went along our routines. She is amazing and remained professional even after a mishmash.”
About: I'm a stay-at-home college student with a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I've grown up around both dogs and cats and have years of experience caring for them. At home, I currently care for one dog and two cats, so I'm comfortable with daily walks, feeding, basic care, cleaning litter boxes, and making sure pets feel safe and loved. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I'm happy to adjust my care to meet their needs. I'm currently working part-time, but I typically work 1-3 days a week and shifts that are only 4 1/2 hours, so I won't be away for too long. I make sure there is a clean environment for the pets, and I make sure that all pets are taken care of correctly. All pets are different, and I try to meet every pet's needs so how I care for every pet differs with how the pet needs to be taken care of. When it comes to taking care of the house itself, I try to be super neat and leave the house better than I found it.
“Jemma is the best! Shes so sweet and loving when it comes to Smoke. She is always on time, very communicative, and best of all, Smoke loves her. I will continue to book with her!”
About: Hi! My name is Jenna, and I’m a dependable animal lover who enjoys spending time with pets of all kinds. I currently have one dog of my own and have experience caring for cats, dogs, and guinea pigs. I offer drop-in visits that can include feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, fresh water, medication reminders (if needed), and plenty of love and attention while you’re away. I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, comfortable, and cared for in their normal routine. My availability is generally: • Monday–Friday: 8:00–10:00 AM and 5:00–8:00 PM • Mid-day visits may be available with advance arrangement • Weekends are more flexible with notice Whether your pet loves walks, cuddles, playtime, or just having someone check in and keep them company, I’m happy to help! I have a relatively flexible daily schedule, especially in the summer to help care for your pets. I can take them for walks while you work or check in on them throughout your vacation. During the school year I can provide morning, afternoon, and evening check ins and walks or playtime. I have a 65 lb dog of my own who I take for walks, play with in the yard and spend lots of time snuggling. I am happy to take your pet on a walk in your neighborhood or play with them in your back yard. I can feed and water them and ensure they go outside. I am comfortable giving oral and injectable medication to dogs. Injectable medication for cats. I have experience with guinea pigs as well. I am comfortable handling them, conscious of their dietary needs and restrictions. I am not afraid of large animals and happy to walk them.
About: I grew up with two cats and have always been around dogs with family, neighbors, and friends so I am very familiar with both. I have always loved animals and wanted so many of my own to raise and spoil. As I have been around dogs since I was little, I have never dog sat before but I am so open and ready for this opportunity. I am willing to spend nights, daytimes, and many dog walks with your lovely animals if you will give me the chance. I am a very ambitious and persistent young lady, I love outdoors and having fun but also love staying in and cuddling with fur babies. I currently work a part-time job at a restaurant, those are mostly night shifts ranging from 4-9pm during the summer. I have plenty of mornings to make sure the animal (s) are set up for the night and ready for my attention and care straight after work. I am also a very clean and hygienic person, so your animals and house will be cleaned exactly how expected and left. As I live with my parents I am not sure that they are comfortable with animals staying at the house. This also means that at the parents house I stay at does not have animals which is why I am so excited to help other pet owners so I can get that love I have been missing. The animals in my pictures are from my mother's house who I stayed with my whole life until I moved in with my father at 18. Therefore, I am able to stay over for however long at the clients house. I have the biggest heart for people and animals in need and love when I can show them the love and affection they need. I am very good with schedules, setting alarms, and following rules.
“WOW! Barbara is the BEST. She took such great care of my dog Winnie while I was out of town. She fed, watered, walked, and played with Winnie and sent me prompt updates with multiple photos each day! She even picked up my mail for me! Cannot recommend Barbara enough. She is thoughtful, warm, and polished. I was so scared to leave my dog in someone else’s care and Barbara absolutely assuaged any concerns I had. 12/10. Will be rebooking!! 💕”
About: Fun fact I used to be afraid of animals until I was about 12. Now I have 4 cats and have owned 6 dogs over the years. I have trained 3 of them to a basic degree and also own a snake. I love animals of all kinds and more often than not they warm up to me instantly! I am interested in summer work during the off season and am available most days almost anytime with some exceptions. I prefer mornings to mid afternoons but am very flexible! Standard house sitting includes overnight care plus daytime absences up to 4–8 hours depending on the pets’ needs. I also offer constant care for houses and pets for a custom rate depending on the individual and pets schedule! Since I have 4 cats and a human I cant board pets at home. But I have no issues staying over a night if needed, and can easily House-sit, Dog-sit, and Cat-sit in the greater Franklin area! I can feed, play, walk, provide potty breaks, and even teach dogs a trick or two.
About: I have been dogsitting since I was around 13 years old for many different families. I have been around dogs my whole life and have owned and helped raise 4 dogs. Two were raised from the puppy stage. The other two were raised till senior age. I have experience with many different breeds and sizes of dogs from golden doodles to Yorkies! I have a deep love for dogs and always enjoy being around animals. It brings me so much joy! I am a college student but my afternoons are usually free and on weekends I always go home if I have nothing planned and spent time with my pets and family. I am very respectful of others space and possessions. I understand I am a guest and act accordingly and take up minimal space and don’t abuse the generosity and trust clients have put in me.
“Leigh- Ann has been great. She was so good we hired her for a second week. Bella, our boxer, has quickly adapted to her. I would highly recommend Leigh-Ann to anyone who is interested in a new dog walker!”
About: I’ve been taking care of all kinds of animals since I was about 11, although I started getting paid for it when I was about 13-14, I’ve taken care of many types of dogs, cats, birds and even rabbits in some cases. Along with my own fur baby! Pet care can easily fit in for Friday night, Saturday-saturday nights and Sunday during the day! I am still in school and also have a job as a host which is why I will need a 2 weeks notice as so I can cancel, thank you! I always stay around and hang out with the pets, i love snuggles and watching them run around when they need it. My house is also a viable option for boarding if needed as I have a small but very sweet puppy named Otis! He always gets along with everyone and my family loooves dogs so I know they wouldn’t mind!
About: I have over two years of experience in pet sitting and house sitting, both as a full-time employee with a professional pet sitting company and through caring for pets for friends and family. This experience has given me extensive knowledge of the day to day responsibilities involved in providing exceptional pet care, including feeding, administering medications, maintaining exercise routines, monitoring health and behavior, and ensuring pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I am also experienced in house sitting duties such as maintaining a clean and secure home, collecting mail, watering plants, and following detailed care instructions. My background has taught me the importance of reliability, communication, and treating every pet and home with the same level of care and respect I would give my own. I currently work as a full time Administrative Assistant at Opryland, but hours are very flexible. I usually work 8 hour shifts. I am able to work 6 hours if needed. As far as my pets at home, they are playing outside majority of the day and I will sit outside with them. Depending on the weather outside of course. I currently do not offer boarding at my home, but when it comes to caring for your pets in your home they would be let out at least 3 times a day and fed based on your feeding schedule! Water is a constant of course, the water bowl should never go empty!
About: I’ve worked in a dog daycare and have experience with many breeds, many ages—and love them all! I have given medicine, baths, and I can also do walks. I am currently working remotely, and can accommodate a variety of requests. My flexible schedule allows for lots of time I can spend with your pet :) I am detailed and will follow care instructions to a tee. Your dog is your family, and I will treat them as such! My dog recently passed, and I would love to fill the hole in my heart by loving on your pet.
About: I have been around animals all my life, especially dogs. I have competed in AKC dogs shows and been extremely successful. I competed in Rally-Obedience as well as some agility and I have more ribbons then I care to count. I also used to breed Shetland Sheepdogs and been pet sitting since before I was a teenager. Aside from my home life with my dogs I have also worked at grooming facilities as well as boarding kennels too. I absolutely love spending time with animals. Aside from that, I also graduated from Meredith Manor Equestrian College and have over 20 years of experience with horses and various farm animals. I have owned and worked with horses for 20 years now. I am a full-time pet sitter/farm sitter. So, I can spend all day long with your fur babies! I just completed a 4 moth long farm sitter job, where I cared for 30 horses and 3 cats. I was able to stay with them all day and all night. When I care for a client's fur baby I like to know what the pet's routine and habits are. So I can maintain as close to their daily routine as possible. I know the importance of routine for any fur baby. Animals are creatures of habit and I want them to always feel loved, safe and at home with me.
About: Ever since I was little, I loved looking after animals big or small. I was the neighborhood kid to call if there was a need for pet care. I started at 10 doing as little as picking up poo from yards to growing up and staying over if the owner was out of town! I have experience with dogs, cats and yes fish at almost every stage of life. I have a long list of clients who would recommend me to look after your furry friend!! I am a part time employee at the moment so I have flexibility in my hours! Depending on the service needed I can make it work along with my schedule. I will be a local college student starting up in August but will continue to have an open schedule! I have a dog of my own and she is one of my top priority’s! When I stay at a clients home I ensure their furry friends have plenty of play and outdoor time. Walks are a non negotiable with my dog so I am very good with taking clients dogs out multiple times a day! Cats have the same priority, I ensure they have play time if that is up their alley or just a couch buddy! Every animal is different so I adjust accordingly!!
About: I’ve taken care of all types of animals, growing up on a farm, and have a huge heart for them. From puppies to seniors I’ve owned and/or cared for animals of all sizes and temperments. I’ve enjoyed volunteering with humane societies and adoption events. When your furry friend is with me, rest assured they’re in great loving hands :) I can do drop in visits and walks throughout the week. We offer boarding with a fenced in backyard and I work from home so there’s plenty of potty breaks and playtime throughout the day. I also have experience with exercising horses. We have 1 dog, Walter, who is a German shorthaired pointer and is great with other dogs. He loves to play fetch and doesn’t mind being chased but doesn’t specifically love roughhousing with other pups.o I currently work very flexible hours from home so I am available to help out as much or little as you need :) Week days are certain from 8am-5pm. Weekends will be as available/in town. I live in a home with a friendly dog who enjoys a fenced in backyard. Our dog has free roam of the house but I am happy to crate your animals, as needed :)
About: What sets me apart is my experience, but mostly patience and care. I was a teacher so my energy always stays calm do theirs does. I’m currently working part time so I have time to play and love on your animals. We might even play poker if the mood hits. No pets in my home, sadly.i wish i was able to, but our lifestyle does not allow for it. Too many unnecessary opportunities unfortunately. Sorry

“Isabella (and family) took such good care of our pup, Dodge, this weekend. This is the first time leaving him with a sitter and she took away all our concerns with daily pictures and sweet updates. We will definitely be reaching out again the next time we need a sitter and would happily recommend her to anyone! Thank you, Isabella!”
“Our golden retriever had the best time! Katie is very responsive and kind. She has a beautiful property with lots of space for the dogs to run and play. Kristen, Katie’s friend who helps with the dogs, is wonderful! Great experience!”
“Our first time with Brent & Kaitlin and they were fabulous! Loved the pictures they sent of Kobe and he was soooo tired when he got home, the best sitters! Thank you!”
“So grateful to have Alexis and her family to board our dog, Bear. They are reliable, keep us well updated, and are so good with our Bear. Will definitely continue using their services!”
“Such an incredible experience for us and our pups. Pam brought our dogs in like they were her own and they had the most wonderful stay. Will absolutely be using her again.”
“Kristin was so kind and easy to work with. Her set up was perfect for Ren to have space to run and play and be safe. I appreciated the pics she sent of him playing with her dog, Walter. We will certainly choose Kristin again for future pet needs! Highly recommend!”
“Anel was wonderful! She would send daily pictures of our pup and he came home so happy. She even let our dog sleep in her bed. Will for sure use her again! Such a relief to know your pup is loved and cared for while out of town!”
“Wow! Adrienne was just so amazing for our babies. Our pups looked happy to be there with her. Adrienne was so communicative about our babies and sending pictures without having to ask (this made the difference). We really feel comfortable while we were away from them. Also, she was of huge help since we had some last minute changes to our stay and she was able to accommodate us. We definitely recommend her 100% and we would love to book her again in the future. Thank you so much Adrienne!!”
“Allison is wonderful with Ivory. Ivory loved being there with her new buddy Priya. When we picked her up she was excited to see us, but sad to leave. Ivory has made herself some new friends. Almost like the favorite aunt type feeling when you visit family. That one family member that everyone can't help but love.”
“Amazing host! Serenity was incredibly caring and patient with both my dog and me. My 2-year-old Maltipoo, Chase, stayed with her for over a month, and she considered all my requests and Chase’s requirements during his long stay. Serenity kept us updated with pictures and messages, making us feel close to our furry baby even when we were apart. Highly recommend Serenity for your furry baby!”
“Cody was great. He’s very welcoming from the beginning which eased the transition at first. He provided daily updates. I was at ease knowing my pup was with him. Highly recommend! He kept my doggy for more than a week.”
“We are so thankful to have found Michelle. Her knowledge, experience, and obvious love for dogs was obvious from our first conversation. Our two large dogs thrived under Michelle's care. We appreciated the photos and great communication from Michelle before, during, and after our trip. Will absolutely plan to work with Michelle in the future.”
“Max stayed for over 2wks with Jennifer and Michael. They sent me pictures regularly and Max came back with as much energy as he was dropped off with…so I know he was played with plenty. It was great getting pictures of him with all the other dogs. He’s normally the only dog at home, so I know he loved playing with the other dogs while he was there. It was great to see him pulled in as part of their family while we were gone.”
“Such great people and wonderful with my baby boy Dade and my friends pup as well. They were able to watch them at the last minute as we traveled in for a retreat. Our pups had so much fun. I would be happy to have them watch my pup again. They were so understanding and so friendly. Thank y'all so much.”
“I can’t say enough great things about Christopher. He was an absolute hero—stepping in on super short notice (less than 24 hours!) to take care of my pup, Benji. His communication was wonderful from the start, keeping me updated and making sure I felt completely at ease.”
