“My girls LOVE Teresa!! Her home is extremely warm and inviting, and she has so much room and toys for enrichment! They always come home happy and exhausted- couldn’t recommend enough!”
“She watched all 3 of our dogs in her house one is a Great Dane who is very clumsy and big. My lab mix is very skittish and she was patient and kind. Toward the end of their stay he had even started to hang out with her which is a big thing for cow. My dogs really enjoyed hanging out with her dogs, especially Remi who immediately wanted to play with my dogs. Overall I think they had an awesome time.”
“Was my first time leaving my baby with someone I didn’t knew, and I was very worried on how he was going to react not seeing me for almost a week. That day that I met Sofia she showed me around her place and where my boy was going to spend those days. My dog instantly bond with her and she knew how to handle him carefully being a dachshund and knowing their breed weaknesses. Since the first day she sent pictures of him, he always looked like he was having the best day ever! Also one of my flights back was cancelled and she understood my situation and waited for me after hours so that I could bring him home with me. He was super happy and healthy when I picked him up, I would definitely trust my baby with her again!”
“Crystal was great. My dog Toby just stayed with her for a week and a half and from all I can tell he was treated like and felt like part of the family. I received constant updates and pictures and in all he seemed to be either smiling, playing or cuddling or sometimes all three! I hope Toby gets a chance to spend time with Crystal and Barkley again.”

“Jenna was great! Milo really had a wonderful time with her and she said he even did well with her cat(s). She’s responsive, attentive and loving with her care for fur babies. Will be rebooking with her again!”
“I was nervous about having someone I didn’t know take our dog Pops for a week. However, from the moment Pops met Maggie and Michael AND SAMMIE it was clear our dog was in good hands. Maggie and Michael were very attentive to my requests and inquiries during the trip. I will definitely be asking for their services again in the future.”
“Our family is sooo blessed to have met Mr. Willie and his team. They provided excellent service they proved amazing in all knowledge of dogs. I am a new dog owner and they reassured me of so much thank you for your care and valuable service. We will be using your services again.”

“Best sitter ever! Zoey loves the whole family including her new pug cousins. Love all the pictures we are getting during her stay. Perfect fit for us. We will definitely be back :).”
“Our first time using Rover so we were pretty nervous but we couldn’t be happier with Michella! She took care of our baby like he was her own. Very quick to communicate and actively sent us pics and updates throughout our boy’s stay which allowed us to enjoy our trip knowing he was in good hands. Would definitely recommend her and will use again! Thanks again, Michella!”
“My dog had the best time! I was sent pictures throughout her stay and I think she made a new best friend while she was there. Seemed like she didn’t wanna leave when I went to pick her up ?”
“I could not have asked for a better caregiver than Melissa when it comes to my Belgium Malinois. Melissa is a blessing in disguise! She has so much experience with animals that it makes it’s so easy to leave my fur baby with her without any concerns. Melissa is a very loving caregiver that addresses all the needs of my fur baby and I could not have asked for anything better. If you are looking for a dependable and responsible caregiver thing you should not have to look any further than Melissa. Thank you for everything Melissa.”
About: There is nothing better than coming home to wagging tails and dog kisses after work. I've always had dogs in the house growing up so after when I moved in to my first apartment, the first thing I did was get my first dog. 8 years later, My husband and I have two very spoiled, happy pups that love to go on walks and spend time in their fenced-in yard. We spend as much time outside and going on walks as possible. We currently don't have children so our pups are like our children for now. My husband and I are home every night and most weekends. Once we get home from work, we typically take the dogs on walks or my German Sheppard/Chihuahua mix on a run or we play in the backyard. Dogs are allowed on furniture and everywhere in the house. Dogs will need to be kept in a cage while we are away but as soon as we get home they will be out. Our dogs typically sleep in our bed but if you prefer yours to sleep in the cage, we can accommodate that. I have several dog beds but you will need to bring a cage if you have one. If not, your dog must be ok with being in a cage while we are at work/out of the house. I know dogs get anxious sometimes when their humans are away, so I want them to be safe in their "den".
“I was so nervous leaving my Chihuahua with someone while we traveled. I tend to be overly-attached and anxious, so it was a very big worry. Shelley was amazing, though. She was reassuring and friendly from the beginning of our communication, and she shared frequent updates, photos, and even video of how Miso was doing. He was obviously loved and spoiled there, and I was able to relax and enjoy my trip.”
“Our dogs loved their vacation with Kayla and Trevor! It was our first time leaving them and Kayla and Trevor were so nice and patient dealing with a nervous dog mom. Highly recommend!!?”
“Eniya was amazing! She was very accommodating with my last minute booking and was amazing with the updates and communication, she made me feel alot more comfortable and made my pet feel comfortable and right at home I definitely think I found a consistent sitter for Shenzi!!”
“We could not have picked a better caretaker for our sweet boy while we were out of town on vacation! It was evident that Julia treated and loved our pup as her own, which gave us peace of mind. Highly recommend Julia to anyone!”
“We had the absolute BEST experience with Katie. Leaving a young puppy can be nerve-wracking, but she completely put our minds at ease from the very beginning. She went above and beyond in every way, providing consistent updates, sharing how he was doing, and clearly giving him so much attention and care. It was obvious he was not only well taken care of, but truly thriving while we were away. Her communication was incredible, and we never once felt anxious or unsure. That peace of mind is priceless, especially with such a young pup. We are so grateful to have found her and will absolutely be using her again. Highly, highly recommend!”

“Tracey was absolutely wonderful checking in on Miku and Sassy while I was away! She was reliable, attentive, and made sure both of them were well cared for and comfortable. I really appreciated the updates and the peace of mind knowing my cats were in such good hands”
“Our dogs absolutely love Brooke (Rachel)! She’s flexible, responds quickly to requests, and will make sure they’re well taken care of. Our dogs will wait for a while at the door after she has left hoping she’s coming back. They say dogs have a good sense about people and after meeting Brooke, as well as having her care for our pups, I can see us continuing to use her to care for our dogs for the foreseeable future. So glad we found her :)”
“Shelley did a great job taking care of my boy Milo while I was gone! She showed up as planned and did everything I asked. I will definitely use her again in the future.”
“Mike is a nice person and has done a fantastic job taking care of our cats. We had a couple of different quirks in our arrangement around some electronics like litter robots and auto-feeders. He did a great job with it and kept our kids happy. I would definitely recommend !”

We will absolutely ask her back in the future.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs, cats, horses, you name it. Animals are underrated as members of the family in my opinion and I just want to make sure any animal in my care is treated like family.

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life. From age 18 to present day I’ve always had a dog so I am well adverse in reading their body language and understanding their needs. I have a job that allows me to customize my schedule so I am capable of making a schedule to fit your animals needs whether it be day or night! Personally I feed my dog according to his feeding schedule and look for signs that he needs to go outside to use the bathroom. If your dog or cat requires a specific diet and time for feeding, I’ll be more than happy to follow the guidelines that you have set to ensure your animals are happy and healthy. As far as potty breaks go, I will use a leash for your dog if there’s not a gated area for them to use the bathroom, if they use pee-pads or litter I have no problem handling that either.
About: I have taken care of cats all my life! Specifically, for the last 10 years, I have been a foster for kittens who were born as strays, until they were old enough to be fixed, then taken to other states (with better laws and regulations to protect animals) to find their forever homes through rescues!

Thank you Sophie!!”

“Shelly is very caring, flexible to our schedule. Lola loved it at Shelly’s place- she was happy each morning when we dropped her off .. fantastic I highly recommend Shelly’s pet care!”

I work remotely and have freedom to walk, feed, and pay attention to your dogs as needed. I love dogs and enjoy helping them feel at ease. Pets can cuddle on ample dog beds and couches.

About: Experience: 10 years of caring for dogs of all ages — from energetic puppies to sweet senior pups. Skills: Feeding, walking, giving oral medication, and keeping up with each dog’s unique routine. Temperaments: Great with friendly, shy, or energetic dogs — I always meet them where they’re comfortable. Special Touch: I take time to build trust with every dog, so they feel safe, loved, and right at home. Im a full-time dog sitter on Rover who truly loves what I do. Caring for dogs isn’t just a side job for me — it’s my passion and my everyday life! Your dog will have plenty of room to play, relax, and feel completely at home here! I live on three acres of fully fenced property, giving every pup tons of safe, open space to run, explore, and enjoy the fresh air. Whether it’s a game of fetch in the yard or a peaceful walk around the property, there’s no shortage of fun and freedom in a secure environment. My 7,000-square-foot home offers plenty of comfortable, clean space for dogs to rest, stretch out, and feel at ease. I keep the environment calm, cozy, and supervised at all times — safety and comfort are always my top priorities.
“My baby ??went to Crystals home for the day yesterday. I have never left her with snyone other then family. I was so nervous and worried how she would be. She cries and shakes when I leave her …. I thought WHAT is she going to do all day? Will she be nervous and upset all day? …WELL….she never cried nor shaked….she was relaxed and had a great day!!! She shocked me …in a unbelievably HAPPY PROUD WAY!!! When I came to pick her up …yes she was excited to see me and then ran off. Now today for the 1st time I’m thinking gosh I wish Bailey?? could go over there again today…she had so much fun!!! Thank you Crystal?”
“Kristen was wonderful! She had great communication prior and during the stay, and I would definitely recommend her to watch your dog. She greeted us outside when we arrived and again when we picked up our dog, which made everything feel very welcoming and personal. Our dog was well cared for, and we would absolutely use her again if we need another pet sitter. Thank you, Kristen!”
About: I've been blessed with a dogs love my entire life. From Poodles to Rottweilers they've been the joy of my life. Currently, my furbaby is Charlie. The bestest boy EVER! HE a Golden Retriever and is everyone's best friend. We have a pet friendly home with a one acre backyard completely fenced in for 100% safe play and exercise. I am retired so I am available for your baby 24/7. Your dog may roam free in our home or you can bring your own crate if necessary at night or if I have errands to run As I mentioned in my profile, our one acre yard is securely enclosed by an eight foot fence. Inside our home they may roam freely downstairs. Also, for my safety, my dogs safety and the safety of any other dog in my care, I WILL NOT accept any aggressive dogs or select breeds at my discretion. I am not willing to take any chances with my baby or yours.
“Jodi has been great. Very responsive. Sends pics of my puppy to let me know how he's doing. Charlie is always excited to see her! He had a cone on from being neutered and she was able to take care of him without any problem. Highly recommend Jodi!”
“She kept me updated the entire time which I did love. I wasn't a huge fan of the company/loud music going off which can make him a little nervous when I picked him up but overall not a bad experience.”
About: My family back east has been watching and walking dogs at a high volume for 5 years. And now I’m doing the same here in our neighborhood! We absolutely love our four legged friends and enjoy looking out for them. They are loved and taken care of just like they would be with you! I also have a pup of my own, which has only added to my love and knowledge of caring for dogs! I am work from home part time and when my husband is home from work he also often helps with our rover pups. We have a baby so any dog we take care of needs to be comfortable with little ones. We also have a 1.5 year old dog. While I’m working he spends those couple of hours in the crate relaxing and we would prefer boarding dogs who are either crate trained and or house trained that will sit and relax during those 3-4 hours I’m working and on calls. Outside of that my dog and I enjoy getting outside to walk and play every morning, afternoon and evening. We have a huge dog park that is rarely used by any one other than myself that we can have your dog play in while staying with us. Or we do have plenty of open green area right outside our apartment for them to walk, play, sniff or lay on leash. We do have a fenced in patio as well where your dog can enjoy fresh air, sunshine and people watch. I always make sure gates are closed and leashes secured before a run around the yard or walk around the park. I make sure the pet is happy and healthy by following the directions given to me of their preferences and needs from their owners.
About: With over two decades of experience in canine care, I've cultivated a deep understanding of dog handling and care that empowers me to make a positive impact. Starting as a 10-year-old caring for neighbor's dogs with twice-daily walks, I've consistently demonstrated reliability and dedication. Growing up with Golden Retrievers and now sharing my life with a standard size Goldendoodle named Penny, has not only strengthened my love for animals but also taught my children the value of compassion. My family, including my husband, two children, and I, along with Penny, are committed to providing your dog with constant companionship, attentive care, and a nurturing environment. Having trained dogs in basic commands and upheld the highest standards of pet care, I'm confident in my ability to unlock the full potential of your dog and provide exceptional care. Hi my name is Katie. As a full-time homemaker, my schedule allows for seamless integration of pet care responsibilities. Given my consistent presence at home, managing a routine that includes our current pets - a goldendoodle and a turtle - along with caring for our two children, is quite manageable. Consequently, incorporating additional pets would not significantly impact our existing schedule. I have a spacious yard of nearly an acre, which is not fenced. However, I am happy to walk your dog on a leash if required. My own goldendoodle and two children will ensure your dog has a fun time, and we have a variety of toys available. Additionally, if your dog requires solitude, we can provide a quiet space. During summertime we will have doggy pool available for your pup to cool off in.

About: My name is Luke, I am a CATCH Canine Trainer Academy certified dog trainer. I use positive reinforcement to encourage and maintain behaviors. I have always had a passion for working with dogs but after losing one of my rescues to cancer only 2 months after saving her my passion grew. This had inspired me to help owners and their dogs learn and grow together. I am a Co owner of a food truck which we are only operating part time. On the opposite days I have open availability to help support you and your current fur baby. I am unable to offer boarding for animals at this time. I am certified in pet cpr and first aid through ProPetHero by Pro Trainings

About: My name is Hannah, but I go by Mikki. I have had pets since I was 15 years old and they have ranged from cats, dogs, and the exotic! I have a serious love for all the different types of fur-babies and am a proud pet parent myself! I’m the purrfect fit if you love someone enthusiastic about animals and their care, someone who is strict with rules and restrictions, and someone who is flexible! I have worked in a pet boarding type facility in the past and carry much experience wrangling dogs of all sizes and in all group sizes, with all different types of personalities. I also have a dog and cat myself. My daily schedule involves me waking up and letting my dog out while preparing their breakfast. After they eat, we get some snuggles in until it’s time to go potty. Later on, it time for dinner and then a nightly walk 30 minutes to an hour after dinner has been served. That ends our adventure for the day! For Drop-Ins: I stop by for feedings and enrichment for between 30 minutes to an hour. I make sure they care squared away and everything is locked up before I leave. For Walks: It’s simple … we just go for walks. 30 minutes to an hour or whatever set path and time per appointment. For House-Sitting: I set a time for me to come over. I stay for the duration of the appointment set and bring my own necessities so that I don’t have to leave the premises. I stay within your home, where your babies are most comfortable, and provide them with company and a set schedule. Before I confirm a booking, I will ALWAYS set up a meet-and-greet. I need to be able to sit down with the fur-babies and parents so we can get a good view of the vibes and to see if I would be a good fit. These meet-and-greets are NOT OPTIONAL and refusal will result in a CANCELED BOOKING! Sitting should be a comfortable experience for pet, pet parent, and sitter. Checking the vibes and getting details is critical for success.
About: With 10+ years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds and temperaments, I provide compassionate, reliable, and personalized care for your furry family members. I may have more energy than them! I do this for fun, not for money. I lost my boy least year and I'm not quite ready for my own again, so taking care of others helps fill the void. <3 My days off are Monday, Tuesday, and Saturday. Sometimes one additional day during the week. I'm free all day and night on those days off, but depending on the time, may be able to watch on other days as well. Weekdays I'm still pretty free, just keep in mind my work schedule. I'll do what's needed and more! Walks? Playtime? Feeding? Bathroom? I do this mostly for fun! I'm not quite ready to own my own again but maybe caring for other dogs will help me heal!
About: I know how to be assertive when the animal is not listening. I am very gentle and know how to listen to instructions very well. I am very smart and knowledgeable. I currently have free time to do whatever. I love helping people so I figured it would be a good option to do this. I am almost always available. I will listen to all instructions very well. I am very clean and tidy, I dont like leaving things unkempt. I also like cleaning as a side hobby. Due to my ADHD I am able to work very well. If something goes wrong, I can handle it.
About: I worked in the vet industry since I was about 17 years old as a veterinary technician. I found another full time job in the healthcare industry in Cancer research about a year and a half ago. But I still kept my veterinary job until recently. I left the vet industry to open up my availability to be around animals in a more intimate way such as dog walking, house sitting, etc. I am experienced with most animals since I grew up with a lot of my own. Over the years my family has owned ducks, chickens, horses, chinchillas, cats, sugar gliders, dogs, bearded dragons, geckos, rabbits, cows and guinea pigs so I am experienced with several different types of animals! I’m currently working full time but I have a work from home job that is flexible so I am able to bring my laptop and work phone. I go in office to work in Nashville a 1 day out of the week but I can always change the days around so I am very flexible! I know pet safety so I will keep a dog on the leash at all times unless there is a fence to put them in. Also if I need to bring any animals to my house I have a crate I can keep them in. I have a yard with a fence that I would watch them under my direct supervision at all times.
“I can’t recommend Gabby enough as a dog walker! She’s absolutely fantastic with my pitbull, Mabel. From day one, it was clear that Gabby truly cares about dogs. Mabel is energetic and sometimes a little stubborn, but Gabby always knows how to keep her engaged and well-exercised. I love how attentive she is to Mabel’s needs—whether it’s adjusting to her mood or making sure she gets the perfect amount of playtime. Gabby is punctual, reliable, and incredibly professional. It’s so reassuring knowing that Mabel is in such great hands every time Gabby takes her for a walk. I truly appreciate how Gabby goes the extra mile, even providing little updates and photos of their adventures. If you’re looking for someone who’s kind, trustworthy, and great with dogs of all kinds, Gabby is the one!”

“My girls LOVE Teresa!! Her home is extremely warm and inviting, and she has so much room and toys for enrichment! They always come home happy and exhausted- couldn’t recommend enough!”
“She watched all 3 of our dogs in her house one is a Great Dane who is very clumsy and big. My lab mix is very skittish and she was patient and kind. Toward the end of their stay he had even started to hang out with her which is a big thing for cow. My dogs really enjoyed hanging out with her dogs, especially Remi who immediately wanted to play with my dogs. Overall I think they had an awesome time.”
“Crystal was great. My dog Toby just stayed with her for a week and a half and from all I can tell he was treated like and felt like part of the family. I received constant updates and pictures and in all he seemed to be either smiling, playing or cuddling or sometimes all three! I hope Toby gets a chance to spend time with Crystal and Barkley again.”
“I was nervous about having someone I didn’t know take our dog Pops for a week. However, from the moment Pops met Maggie and Michael AND SAMMIE it was clear our dog was in good hands. Maggie and Michael were very attentive to my requests and inquiries during the trip. I will definitely be asking for their services again in the future.”
“Our family is sooo blessed to have met Mr. Willie and his team. They provided excellent service they proved amazing in all knowledge of dogs. I am a new dog owner and they reassured me of so much thank you for your care and valuable service. We will be using your services again.”
“Best sitter ever! Zoey loves the whole family including her new pug cousins. Love all the pictures we are getting during her stay. Perfect fit for us. We will definitely be back :).”
“Our first time using Rover so we were pretty nervous but we couldn’t be happier with Michella! She took care of our baby like he was her own. Very quick to communicate and actively sent us pics and updates throughout our boy’s stay which allowed us to enjoy our trip knowing he was in good hands. Would definitely recommend her and will use again! Thanks again, Michella!”
“My dog had the best time! I was sent pictures throughout her stay and I think she made a new best friend while she was there. Seemed like she didn’t wanna leave when I went to pick her up ?”
About: There is nothing better than coming home to wagging tails and dog kisses after work. I've always had dogs in the house growing up so after when I moved in to my first apartment, the first thing I did was get my first dog. 8 years later, My husband and I have two very spoiled, happy pups that love to go on walks and spend time in their fenced-in yard. We spend as much time outside and going on walks as possible. We currently don't have children so our pups are like our children for now. My husband and I are home every night and most weekends. Once we get home from work, we typically take the dogs on walks or my German Sheppard/Chihuahua mix on a run or we play in the backyard. Dogs are allowed on furniture and everywhere in the house. Dogs will need to be kept in a cage while we are away but as soon as we get home they will be out. Our dogs typically sleep in our bed but if you prefer yours to sleep in the cage, we can accommodate that. I have several dog beds but you will need to bring a cage if you have one. If not, your dog must be ok with being in a cage while we are at work/out of the house. I know dogs get anxious sometimes when their humans are away, so I want them to be safe in their "den".
“I was so nervous leaving my Chihuahua with someone while we traveled. I tend to be overly-attached and anxious, so it was a very big worry. Shelley was amazing, though. She was reassuring and friendly from the beginning of our communication, and she shared frequent updates, photos, and even video of how Miso was doing. He was obviously loved and spoiled there, and I was able to relax and enjoy my trip.”
“Our dogs loved their vacation with Kayla and Trevor! It was our first time leaving them and Kayla and Trevor were so nice and patient dealing with a nervous dog mom. Highly recommend!!?”
“Eniya was amazing! She was very accommodating with my last minute booking and was amazing with the updates and communication, she made me feel alot more comfortable and made my pet feel comfortable and right at home I definitely think I found a consistent sitter for Shenzi!!”
“We could not have picked a better caretaker for our sweet boy while we were out of town on vacation! It was evident that Julia treated and loved our pup as her own, which gave us peace of mind. Highly recommend Julia to anyone!”
“We had the absolute BEST experience with Katie. Leaving a young puppy can be nerve-wracking, but she completely put our minds at ease from the very beginning. She went above and beyond in every way, providing consistent updates, sharing how he was doing, and clearly giving him so much attention and care. It was obvious he was not only well taken care of, but truly thriving while we were away. Her communication was incredible, and we never once felt anxious or unsure. That peace of mind is priceless, especially with such a young pup. We are so grateful to have found her and will absolutely be using her again. Highly, highly recommend!”
“Kenny took care of my sweet girl Elsie. He kept us updated with videos and pictures for the 18 days that he watched her. I will definitely have Kenny watch my fur baby in the near future. Thank you again Kenny and his fur babies. ☺️”
“Wow! Where to begin? My Dixie looked like she enjoyed her weekend. Lots of love and pictures. I wondered if she would want to come back home with me. But really the experience was great and Grace was attentive, caring, and I would definitely recommend! If I need a sitter while in TN, I will definitely pick yh. Thank you so much for loving my sweet girl!”
“Taylor is an ABSOLUTE GEM! She took pictures and videos and was so communicative. Our flight home was delayed and eventually cancelled at midnight due to high winds and I was an absolute mess. I reached out to Taylor and she was able to keep our Juju an additional night. Typically when I pick Juju up after being away he goes absolutely NUTS and freaks out… I picked him up from Taylor and he was just so content. It almost hurt my feelings!!! 😂🤣 I know that’s because she kept such good care of him! 🥰🥰🥰 She is the best!!!!”
About: I’ve taken care of multiple dogs at a time for 10+ years now. Currently we have four dogs and two cats that are very happy I’m working from home, so they rarely have to be alone. Experienced with the extra care required by medically needy dogs and senior dogs, as I helped the Cheatham County shelter with theirs for a few years. Working from home affords me the opportunity to spend nearly 24/7 with either my own pets, or yours! Happy to work with whatever schedule your pets are used to. In my home I have a fenced yard. Will only board one dog at a time, things get a little cramped past that! In your home, I would be working remotely and therefore present for your pets most of the time. I may make a midday run to let my own dogs out, but largely my wife will take over care of our own dogs while I’m looking after yours. I want you to know someone is there taking care of your babies! I send lots of pictures.
