Ashlynne was so good with our cat! She was responsive and asked questions to make sure she was receiving the best care. We will for sure use her for future pet sitting needs!

Hayley is so thoughtful and consistent in taking care of my kitties! She even does a great job with my mean one! 😂 I love getting pictures and updates while I’m away from them.

Hailey took great care of my girl. I appreciated the activity pics, but also the intention that Hailey took to give the right treats at the right time, and also to give snuggles which are my pups fave thing. Thanks Hailey for stepping in last minute to take good care of my pup and let me visit family with my mind at ease.

Ashlie was great! She assisted my family when we were in a bind. Our flights oversees were rescheduled a day later and our current sitter couldn’t assist. She stepped in and responded right away to help us. Gave her quick and very brief instructions. Very thankful for her!

About: I love spending time with animals and going on long walks. I’ve cared for friends’ and family’s pets, making sure they feel safe, loved, exercised, and happy while their owners are away. I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule to provide attentive care for your pets. I’m available for house sitting throughout the week and can accommodate walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of companionship. I know every pet has their own routine, and I’m happy to follow any instructions you provide to make them feel comfortable while you’re away. I’ll respect your home’s rules, stick to your pet’s schedule, and keep you updated with regular messages and photos so you can have peace of mind.

About: Honestly, I don't think I've gone more than a few months of my life without a pet around. I grew up with dogs and have since lived with and looked after dobermans, beagles, doodles, pointers, and pitbulls, amongst others, so a big, strong, or stubborn dog doesn't throw me off, and neither does a nervous first-timer. I've also lived with cats for years, so I speak fluent "aloof but secretly obsessed with you." Along the way I've picked up a lot of the extra care stuff almost by accident: giving meds on a schedule, handling a dog with leash reactivity, sticking to a strict routine for an anxious pet, being patient with a senior pet who needs a little more help getting around. I'm not saying I've seen it all, but I've seen a lot, and I actually enjoy the pets who need a bit more thought and attention. They're usually the most rewarding ones to work with. I'm currently a full-time master's student, and don't currently have other part-time work, but I will communicate if that changes in the future. I do have evening classes that are online except for one. Otherwise, I'm available to spend time with your fur babies. I like sitting in your pet's own home when that's an option. It just tends to be less stressful for them than a strange new place. Every pet's a little different, so I'm not going in with a fixed routine; I'd rather figure out what actually works for your dog or cat and stick to that. If your pet needs meds, has a quirk, or gets nervous easily, that's not a dealbreaker for me, if anything, tell me more, because I want to get it right.

About: I treat every dog like family, giving them lots of love, patience, playtime, and cuddles. Comfortable caring for puppies, senior dogs, and pets needing extra attention. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I work remotely while job searching, giving me plenty of time for walks, playtime, attention, and companionship. In your home, I follow your pet’s routine, giving love, walks, and attention. I also have a gentle senior dog and fenced yard for safe socializing.

About: I’ve always loved caring for animals! I had my dog, Sophie, for 9 years, so I have plenty of experience caring for a dog, keeping up with their needs, and making sure they feel happy and comfortable. I also cared for my neighbors’ pets when I was younger, which helped me learn how to be responsible and attentive with animals. I would love the opportunity to care for your dog and give them the same love and attention I gave Sophie! I’m dependable, caring, and excited to meet your furry friend. 🐶❤️ I’m currently a college student looking to earn some extra money to help cover school supplies, books, and other college expenses. I’d love to combine that with something I genuinely enjoy; caring for animals! I have lots of love for both cats and dogs, so I’ll make sure your pets get plenty of company, whether that means playing, going on walks, or simply relaxing together! 🐾 I’m also happy to help with feeding, litter box cleaning, and other everyday pet-care needs. Your pets will get lots of attention, care, and love while you’re away! ❤️

About: Hi, I’m McKinzie! Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and I truly believe they deserve to feel safe, loved, and cared for even when their favorite humans are away. I’m the proud owner of my own pup, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your best friend. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, belly rubs, or simply relaxing with some company, I’ll tailor my care to their personality and routine. I provide dependable care that includes feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, exercise, playtime, medication administration if needed, and, of course, plenty of love and attention. I know every dog is different, so I’m happy to accommodate specific schedules, training routines, or special requests. While you’re away, I’ll keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your pup is happy and well cared for. My goal is to make your dog’s time with me as fun, comfortable, and stress-free as possible while making your time away worry-free. I can’t wait to meet you and your four-legged family member! I work full time now, am available during the evenings and weekends. Evenings are good for walks and pop ins and weekends for pet sitting and boarding. I have two dog parks, trails, and 15 acres for running space and a friendly dog that is able to also keep your fur baby company. I am also able to easily crate you pup if needed.

About: I have cared for just about every animal type - dogs, cats, rodents, fish, and a few exotic reptiles and amphibians. In that scope, I’ve managed surprise litters, caring for young and senior pets with all their needs. I’m currently working from home, so my schedule is very flexible. I will have my elementary age kids and our senior dog with me every other week, and we’re unfortunately allergic to cats. I have a large fenced in yard, plus my own dog every other week. She is a bit picky about other dogs depending on their size, age, and personality.

About: I’ve taken care of horses, dogs and cats my whole life. I’d be happy to make your pets feel at home while you’re away and love them as my own! I work from home full time so your pet will get all the attention they want! I know my family has had a hard time finding good help with our dogs when we want to go on vacation so I’d like to be there for yours. We want to make sure we don’t mess up any of your training so please let me know if there’s a no furniture rule in your home. Otherwise I like to keep them as cozy and loved as possible.

About: As a lifelong animal lover and experienced dog owner, I understand that every pet has a unique personality and needs. I’ve raised and trained two medium-to-large dogs with very different temperaments—one with fear-based aggression and the other a confident, strong-willed Husky. Through those experiences, I learned the importance of patience, consistency, positive reinforcement, and understanding canine body language to help dogs feel safe and confident. Outside of pet care, I’m a full-time elementary school teacher. My career has strengthened my ability to provide calm, reliable care while maintaining clear, consistent boundaries with kindness and compassion. I believe those same qualities help pets feel secure and build trust quickly. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, enrichment activities, cuddles on the couch, or simply having a calm companion while you’re away, I’m happy to tailor my care to their routine and personality. I’ll treat your pets as if they were my own and make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and attentive care. As a teacher, my availability is greatest during evenings, weekends, holidays, and school breaks, and I always strive to provide dependable communication and updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I have flexibility during breaks from school, and weekends are also flexible for me morning, afternoon, evenings. I am occasionally available weeknights during the school year. I have a fenced in yard with space to run and I have a dog that is very social. My dog is not crated, yours can be if you prefer (please provide crate if needed).

We had a wonderful experience with our Rover sitter. She responded promptly, was flexible with our schedule, and communicated with us throughout each visit. She shared photos and updates on our dog's well-being every time she dropped in, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. We felt completely comfortable knowing he was being well cared for, and we wouldn't hesitate to book with her again. Highly recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Old Hickory on Rover is $18.87 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 4,031 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Old Hickory. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Old Hickory stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Old Hickory choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Old Hickory with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Old Hickory. On Rover:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% can help with daily exercise

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 calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
