“Niyired took great care of my dog Emi. When I first met her she was very patient with the other dogs staying with her who were dying to meet my dog. I knew then she loves dogs and understands their world. I will definitely have my dog stay with her in the future.”
“Esther was incredible as well as her family. Austin had such an amazing time and I know he was well take care of. Communication was fantastic and I received plenty of adorable pictures and updates. I would highly recommend Esther and would definitely be sending Austin back to her.”
“Hayley was great! Our senior dog just wasn’t a good fit for the setting as she’s never stayed outside our four walls before and she was pretty scared the whole time; refusing to eat or take her meds. It is in no way a reflection on Hayley; she did everything she could do to make her comfortable.”
“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! ❤️🐾”
“I will never leave my dog with anyone else. Cyndie & her family treated my dog like their own. Cyndie kept me updated with pics and how Rocky’s day was going. I’m truly grateful for her and her family. Look no further for a pet sitter! Cyndie will always be my go to when I go out of town.”
“Angela was great and really accommodating. She sent updated and really cute pictures of Koda, while also letting me know how he was doing. She had to deal with his anxiety during a really bad rain storm and I’m super grateful. I definitely would book again!”
“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!”
“Kobe had so much fun with Natalie’s German Shepherd and was well taken care of. She followed all our instructions and gave him the same freedom and love we give him. I could tell he was so happy.”
“Michelle and Bryce took such good care of our two fur babies. Michelle sent pictures/updates daily and even attempted to clean one of my dogs ears when he started shaking his head a lot. They definitely care for animals and would definitely use again in the future!”
“Troy was absolutely amazing! Super easy guy to work with and schedule with! He did an amazing job with sending me photos everyday of my fur baby! And even took him on some really cool hikes and walks! I definitely recommend Troy to EVERYONE!!”
“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!”
“Aubrey was wonderful to our large, shy Bernese mountain dog. We had him stay with her for 5 nights and she took great care of him. We were especially nervous because not only was this our first time utilizing anyone for an overnight stay, but he was also recovering from surgery. We were provided with constant updates and we were pleasantly surprised when she provided pictures of our dog on a group walk with other dogs (we didn’t know he had it in him lol). He has always been very shy around people but the icing on the cake was when we picked him up. He was excited to see us but the way he went up to Aubrey and leaned into her let us know he made a friend. Needless to say we will be continue to utilize her services and we couldn’t recommend her enough.”
“HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Laura was absolutely amazing with our pups this past weekend! We never once had to worry about them while they were in her care. You can genuinely tell that she cares about what she does and makes sure to treat every pet like they’re her own. Her experience in pet care was one of the main reasons we initially chose to book with her, and after meeting her, it was immediately evident just how knowledgeable and experienced she is. She was so compassionate, understanding, and attentive to each of our dogs’ individual schedules and personalities. She took the time to make sure they were comfortable, happy, and well cared for, (& most importantly loved!) and her communication was great!! Laura was incredibly trustworthy, and we truly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. We’re so grateful for the love and care she gave our pups and would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their pups! And my pups came home happy and tired from playing all weekend long! Thank you, Laura!”
“Margaret was so great! She took such good care of our pup and sent great updates and pics/videos! One of the best experiences I’ve had on Rover and would definitely recommend.”
About: I am an experienced loving pet provider. I grew up in a home filled with dogs, cats, rats, guinea pigs, fish. My children were raised with an amazing Rottweiler, and in spit of my allergies I have had cats. I am good with small dogs and large active breeds. I'm retired now and dedicating myself to full-time pet care. My home is set up for dogs. I have crates available if needed. I have a fully fenced backyard that provides space to run and play. I believe in feeding a healthy diet and proving outside exercise for dogs. If you need a responsible dog lover to care for your family pet, I may be able to help. Call me ....Shirlee With my flexible schedule I have the ability to make your pet cat or dog special needs my priority. All pets are special and deserve love and attention. I'm retired. So I do a lot of boarding here at the house which is set up for dogs. I will accept one or two drop ins or walks during the day that are a reasonable distance. If I get an order, I pop out and then I return home to my dogs who are here, including my own first thing on the list potty break. I have the ability to create a dog or keep them in a room to themselves or with a buddy. I always leave them with Water. I have a five year-old husky who loves company. She is great with all dogs small or large. I have a fully fenced backyard. I have multiple dog beds in back rooms in the living room, and I have crates for when they are needed. I've also recently started using pet aromatherapy throughout the house to create a soothing, relaxing environment for dogs.
“Kelly did amazing. Our pup is super shy and is terrified of strangers, but he warmed up to her and her children better than anyone else he has stayed with. Kelly asked plenty of questions to make sure she understood his needs ahead of time and sent me updates and photos regularly. We will be booking with her again in the future!”
“Angeli was amazing and I would definitely use her again. She has a very kind spirit and so does her dog Rocco. I took my pup Thor to her house the day before the scheduled sitting appointment for a meet and greet and he was smiling and wagging his tail the whole time. When I took him back the next day to drop him off, he ran straight to the door and didn’t even turn around to tell me bye. Thor was so loved on while he was with Angeli which is evident from all of the photos that she sent. Thank you Angeli!”
“Kelly was an incredible host to our pup! She communicated often with updates and shared photos. Our dog loved playing with her pups and got lots of outdoor time. I will definitely be contacting her to sit for our pup again.”
About: I have had the amazing opportunity to run and operate an animal rescue for 5 straight years. During which time we tended to each and every need including medical needs. I am home all day long. I can focus on playing with your animal for hours, making sure your animal always has eyes on them for their safety. During an animals stay or visiting the clients home. I like to make sure that the animal is well cared for by strict eating schedules as well as bathroom breaks. Let’s not forget about play time.
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Old Hickory is $50
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Old Hickory
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!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Old Hickory is $50 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $67 per night. 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.

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.
96% 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, 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.
Tip: 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 , 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 .
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.
