“We really appreciate Cecilia taking care of our cats. She was very personable and did a great job. My old kitty needs a special hand and medication. Cecilia was able to give him what he needed with no stress. We will be requesting her again to watch our babies.”
About: Experienced veterinary technician of 7 years now promoted to stay at home mom. Allowing me the capability to provide to those pets who need care throughout the day and evenings. I offer in home boarding / day care. Pets must be cat friendly and non aggressive towards children. I have a 2 year old daughter who adores animals and has been raised to be respectful of animal boundaries and loving towards all. I am trained on administration of medications / insulin. And can provide specialized care for those with medical conditions. I accept all ages (puppies-seniors) of all breeds. Drop in visits / walks are available as well! I am a stay at home mom who can provide all day care for your baby while you are away. Frequent potty breaks, playtime and snuggle time! We have a fenced in back yard, and will crate the dog if requested by the owner. Some pets really enjoy the security that the crate provides and I am respectful of all pet parents choices.

Its not a small house and she traversed all floors,sometimes without knowing where to turn on the lights.

About: I have worked with animals for the past 19 years. I obtained my bachelor’s degree in animal science and have worked with many different species from young to old. My work experience ranges from general practice and emergency room veterinarian clinics, an animal shelter to the Knoxville zoo, and 7 years in animal agriculture. My love for all animals runs deep and through my experience I am able to administer medications, perform CPR, and just understand animal behavior all together. I personally have had two dachshunds of my own from young rescues to 17 year old seniors. I currently work remote and have a very flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate any needs of an animal in my care. Daily walks are part of my routine regardless of the weather. I live in a home that has been converted into a duplex tucked away in a quiet neighborhood. I have a balcony allowing for outside access for bird watching or just plain old barking. I have a large backyard but not fenced. Dog beds in every room. Every animal in my care is like family meaning no couch or bed is off limits. I often plan my daily outings to allow for my animals to come with me or spend limited time alone.
About: I absolutely adore animals! Growing up, my childhood best friend had 6 dogs and a cat which meant I did too. This quickly taught me responsibility, compassion, and awareness. I want to apply those skills and experiences with your pets and learn more. I don’t have a lot of experience but there is nothing i’m not excited to learn to help take care of your pet as you would ! I am currently an orthodontist assistant! I work Monday - Friday 8-5 and Wednesday 8-1; I am free to care for your pet after 5 on weekdays and anytime on the weekend ! I make sure to keep things organized and where I found it. I am sure to follow whatever instructions left and will ask questions for clarification because trust and understanding go hand in hand. I clean after myself and pets that I take care of. Any modifications to your pet care I will carefully take care of. I am committed to providing the best care to you and your pet!
“Jenny did great and sent us pictures of our two cats each day. They seemed happy, had fresh water and food in their bowls when we got home. I would use her again!”
About: I've been taking care of pets since I was younger. I have had cats, dogs and tarantulas, so I am used to a wide range of animals. I live alone and work a typical 9-5 job as an attorney in town, and I do not have any pets of my own. I always pet-sit for my friends' cats and dogs, so I would love to do it with Rover. I love to play games with the animals to keep them stimulated. I also enjoy walking animals and simply being with them. I am very good with both dogs and cats.
“Mary was great and I would definitely recommend her and use her again! She watched my cat and my fish and was very communicative and friendly throughout the process. She was also very understanding and sweet with my cat who has a unique personality.”
“Heather did a meet & greet the day before we had her scheduled. She was a great fit for our two Golden Retrievers. She completed both visits including notes and pictures. We will definitely use Heather again!”
“The absolute sweetest! We got tons of pictures of our 2 cats and all the updates we could ever want. Our girls are usually shy around new people but they adjusted so quickly to Michelle and Bryce!”
About: I've grown up around cats and dogs all of my life. I pet sit often for my grandparents and other family members. I would love to be considered. Having a pet is super special, they are family. I've had dogs and cats all my life. My boyfriend has a dog that I help take care of. I also have a cat at my grandparents that 19 years old. He is my immortal cat. I will be taking care of your baby in your home. I promise to be respectful of your home and treat your baby as if it was my baby too!
“Isabella did a wonderful job with our diabetic cat and our home. He doesn’t cozy up to everybody, but he did snuggle up with Isabella and she was great with updates and photos and was very responsive. We would very much recommend and would be happy to use her again.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Old Hickory
Jennifer took care of our cats, Jacques and Marquette, while we were out of town, and she was wonderful. She was always prompt, kept us updated after every visit, and was so kind and gentle with both cats. We came home to two happy, relaxed cats. I would never hire anyone else.
Brian was amazing! He gave our old Bulldog and our old cat lots of love and attention during his visits. He sent us photos every day showing how well our pets were taken care of. Every detail of care was taken care of; he treated our pets like they were his own.
Morgan was literally the best. One of our cats was diagnosed with diabetes just a couple weeks before we went out of town and Morgan was quick to learn how to give him his insulin and make sure both of our cats were alive and well taken care of the whole time we were gone!! We've never had to hire a cat sitter before so this was an incredible first experience. We're so thankful for her & can't wait to have her back!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Cat Sitting in Old Hickory is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $28 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
