“I had my two dogs with Niyired for 6 days. They were well taken care of and they seemed happy in their boarding place. The place was clean and they had ample place to play. The sitter sent pics from time to time. I wished to get more pics as we missed our dogs a lot during the travel. But it was really nice of her to help us at the last minute when two other sitters canceled. We will surely use this sitter again.”
“Our dog came home tuckered out and happy from playing with the other dogs in Brandon's care. I knew he was well-taken-care-of by the daily photos. Brandon was flexible and very pleasant, and it's very clear that he enjoys spending time with dogs and making sure that they feel right at home.”
“Thank you so much Hayley for looking after Anubis again this year while we enjoyed Nashville and The Opry. We look forward to seeing you next year when we travel through your area again. Hugs!”
“This was a great first time Rover experience! Kayahja sent me pictures and videos each day I was gone. I was also told my Charli interacted really well with her dogs, which was the main reason I wanted Charli to board with someone who has dogs because she doesn’t get a lot of close interaction. Kayahja was very nice and communicative with me. Will be booking with her again!”
“Yana came out absolutely exhausted from having such a good time playing with the other dogs!! Leah was amazing and sent pictures and updates throughout her stay and I will definitely be rebooking any time I need boarding for Yana!!”
“She took great care of my dog and was very kind and reliable. It’s our 2nd time with her!! I really appreciated the updates and the love she showed my pet. Highly recommend”
“Wonderful petsitter! Our two dogs spent a happy weekend with Aidyn and his wife, who were so kind, and their dog Butterbean was a very friendly and welcoming host. Dogs were relaxed, safe, and loved. Aidyn sent pics and updates. Great experience. Thank you!”
“Jack spent the night with Ester and family as a test run for a longer stay soon. They passed with a perfect score! Jack was very much at home and was very calm when I picked him up! So happy to know that when we leave on our trip he’ll be in great hands and feels content!”
“It was our first time leaving our dog Truffle with Scott. Scott and his son took very good care of Truffle. He was very responsive and sent us pictures regularly. We could see Truffle being very comfortable in his home.”
“Lauren was absolutely the best sitter! She was so caring and attentive to my senior baby. ☺️ Fantastic communication and she sent lots of pictures. Trooper was so relaxed when I picked him up, which let me know he was at peace during his visit.”
“Molly was great! We went on a long weekend trip and our dog seemed very happy and comfortable there. She even took her on a 5 mile walk! We will definitely be using Molly in the future!”
“Pamela was great with our Rhaegar, she sent pictures and he seemed like he had a lot of fun. He told me all about it when we got home, as all huskies do! Thank you will book again.”
“Valerie was very communicative and sent us lots of photos during our dog’s stay. She was easy to work with and had a nice, large fenced in area for Stanley to run around in.”
“She did a great job with our Pit Bull/Husky mix Skye! Skye is only 3 months old and is a very curious, active puppy who gets into everything. 😂 I was nervous about leaving her but I really appreciated Whitney for being willing to keep Skye in her home and take on all that puppy energy. Skye was well taken care of, and I would definitely use her again! ❤️🐾”
“Cyndie was the PERFECT match for my Farrah Grace. She sent pictures and updates at the most prefect times. We will ALWAYS be using Cyndie for future pet sitting.”
“Emily was great! She responded to my last-minute request after another sitter canceled on me. She runs a doggy daycare and knows exactly what she’s doing! Wilson was well cared for.”
“Sydnie and her family were the best dog sitters! Kona was well taken care of and loved hanging with them and their Golden! Sydnie sent updates (from Kona 😊) everyday to describe his day. So cute! Highly recommended!”
“I can’t say enough good things about Olivia! She kept me very well-informed throughout her time with Rex, sending regular updates and the cutest pictures. She was incredibly sweet and attentive, and Rex seemed so happy and comfortable in her care. It’s clear she truly loves animals, and I can’t thank her enough for taking such great care of Rex! Highly recommend!”
“Nathan is amazing! He took such excellent care of our dog, Tulip. She went on so many adventures and loved playing with his dogs. I can’t recommended him highly enough!”
“Patti and her family took such great care of Maisy. She is an old dog so we were cautious to leave her, but we received daily pictures and updates and our pup came home happy and healthy. We will certainly leave Maisy with Patti’s family again. So blessed to have found them.”

Leah was amazing with Nelson! From the very beginning, she was so responsive and made me feel completely at ease knowing he was in great hands. You can tell right away how much she genuinely loves dogs, and Nelson was clearly happy and well cared for. It meant a lot to know he was with someone so kind and attentive while I was away. I’ll absolutely be booking with Leah again!
We had such a wonderful experience with Valerie! This was our first time using Rover, so we were a little nervous about leaving our dog with someone new, especially since he’s older and a little socially awkward. But he absolutely loved her, which made us feel so much more at ease. She was very kind, attentive, and easy to communicate with. Her car was also incredibly clean, which we really appreciated when she picked him up. She was also very accommodating with our travel plans, which was so kind and made everything much easier for us. We’re so happy we found her, and we would definitely have her watch our dog again. Highly recommend!
Konnor was beyond excellent in communication and response time. She remained flexible with changing drop off/pick up times. I appreciated her availability on a busy holiday weekend. We wanted to keep our pup in a safe environment and she made sure he was well taken care of while sending pics and videos. Highly recommend Konnor and would book again when in the area.

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
95% of sitters in Old Hickory can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Old Hickory home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Old Hickory.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Old Hickory sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in TN ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
