About: Hi there. My name is Robyn and I am an animal loving, responsible sitter who would love to help you out with your pets! I have been a dog owner for 18 years as well as a dog foster Mom and a cat owner in the past. I even had a chicken for a couple of years whom I loved dearly and was the neighborhood mascot.:) I know what it is like to have to find loving, responsible caregivers for your pets, as I have used this service for years for my pups. I am open for drop-in visits, walks or hosting at my place on the lake. I’m happy to help you out with your fur babies wherever I can! Please ask me any questions you might have. I am currently working a job where I make my own schedule, so that makes it very easy to fit pet care into my schedule. I have a 6 yr old boxer, a rescue Beagle who is somewhere between 12-16 yrs old, and a little white Maltese who is about 7. They really are the sweetest dogs and they get along with each other so well. They do great with people and other animals. I’ve been very lucky to have some wonderful repeat customers and I love seeing the dogs reunite (with the ones who have stayed with myself and my dogs) as they are always fast friends again. I look forward to meeting all the new dogs…and other animals!

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!

“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.”
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.
“I requested a drop in visit from Cyndie very last minute and even though I live an hour away she made an exception and visited my sweet cat. She made sure she had plenty of food and even cleaned her litter, she went above and beyond. I’m so thankful!”
“Sarah did a wonderful job taking care of our cats while we were away. She was reliable, attentive, and kept us updated, which gave us great peace of mind. Our cats were happy and well looked after. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter!”
“This was the first time I used Rover, and the first time I left my pets in the care of people my dog had only met once. After meeting Bryce and Michelle I was comfortable doing so. I had peace of mind that I could leave town knowing my pets would be cared for. Thank you Bryce and Michelle!”
About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life, and being a dog dad to my Goldendoodle, Prince, has only made that love grow! I have 10 years of experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I’m comfortable with large dogs, energetic pups, feeding routines, walks, playtime, and giving lots of love and attention! I’m also a registered nurse, so being responsible, attentive, patient, and caring comes naturally to me. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I promise to treat your pet like my own!:) I’m a registered nurse working three sometimes 2, 12-hour shifts a week, which gives me four days off to spend doing what I love doing. My schedule varies, but I have plenty of availability on my days off for walks, drop in visits, playtime, and lots of attention. I love spending my free time with my own Goldendoodle, Prince, and would love to make some new furry friends along the way! Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort will always be my top priorities! As both a registered nurse and a dog dad, I understand how important it is to have someone trustworthy caring for a member of your family. I’m attentive to each dog’s individual needs, personality, and routine. Whether I’m taking your pup for a walk or caring for them in your home, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’ll also send plenty of pictures and updates because I know how much we miss our babies when we’re away!
About: I have had dogs and cats all of my life and my dogs have all lived very long and healthy lives. I’ve adopted them and taken in strays, including one that was pregnant and then had 8 very healthy puppies which we cared for, weaned and found permanent homes for. Several of my dogs have lived very long senior lives (21!) and I can give medications and special diets. I’ve also transported many dogs, large and small, to the vet. I take my dogs to the dog parks on a regular basis and have taken them on long trips too. I am available to dog walk and also watch them in fenced-in yards for potty breaks and play. I produced several “Pet Care" series for HGTV, DIY Network and TNN, including dog care segments with Dr. Craig Prior, owner of Murphy Road Animal Hospital and a very popular and well-known Nashville veterinarian, who was also my personal vet for many years. I’m retired so I’m available all days and times. And I love taking photos and videos of pets and would be able to share updates for clients. I am currently retired and am available all days and times. I do volunteering on a regular basis but can adjust that schedule as needed. I also do freelance Marketing and Development including grant writing for nonprofits, on my own time schedule. I have a fenced-in back hyard for my own dogs but also take them on walks and to the dog park. So I would be able to walk dogs as needed. I also know about safety in a home, including keeping food, liquids, cleaners and materials away from pets. My own Beagle can get ninto things easily so I always put things up. My dogs do not use crates but I know how to crate dogs too.
About: Hi, I’m Anusha! I have the great advantage of being able to work from home so I have a very flexible schedule. I have a two year doggo that stays with me every few months (co-parenting) but when she’s at her other home, I miss having a dog so much! Therefore, I’m here to provide all the walks, fetch, belly rubs and love your fur baby could desire. I can take your dog out for bathroom breaks or walks as much as needed. If there’s any specifications on how you would like your dog cared for, please let me know in advance and I will be happy to oblige. I love all dogs and want your experience, as well as your dog’s, to be as pleasant and stress free as possible!
About: Why you should choose me: • I’m currently home full-time, which means I have plenty of time to give your little one the attention, care, and love they deserve. • I’m 28 and full of energy! I’m happy to go on 3–4 walks a day and keep up with active dogs who love to play and explore. • I have a dog of my own, so I truly understand how it feels to leave your baby with someone else. That’s why I care for every dog as if they were my own. • If your little one gets tired easily or would rather cuddle than play, that’s perfectly fine too! I’m more than happy to cuddle with them and give them all the love and comfort they need. • I have more than 10 years of pet-sitting experience caring for dogs with different personalities, routines, and needs. Thank you for trusting me with your baby. 🌷 I’m currently available 7 days a week, so pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine. I can care for your little one in my home, take them on walks, and provide plenty of playtime, attention, and cuddles throughout the day. I’m also available for overnight care. :) I always follow each pet parent’s instructions carefully and do my best to keep every pet’s routine as familiar and comfortable as possible. I can provide walks, feeding, playtime, cuddles, and overnight care. My home is also close to a dog park, so with your permission, we can enjoy some extra outdoor time there as well. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my priority. 🐾

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Old Hickory
Cassandra took great care of Mr. Berry while I was away recently. He liked her from the moment he laid eyes on her! She always showed up right on time, and I know they had big fun together from the great pictures she sent as well as his calm demeanor when I got home. We will definitely call on Cassandra again!
Carmen was one of the best dog sitters we have ever used on Rover. She sent thorough updates everyday and took great care of our dogs. We have a brand new puppy and Carmen went above and beyond and taught our puppy a few new tricks while she visited on the drop-ins. I think our dogs want us to leave the house more now so Carmen can come over to play more. 🙂
Jemima is attentive, thorough, and such a great listener! Brownie absolutely loves spending time with her and gets so excited every time she sees her. It’s clear how much Jemima genuinely cares, and we feel very comfortable knowing Brownie is in such good hands!
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.
Sarah is awesome! I highly recommend her. She loved on my dogs so well and played with them non stop. One of my dogs can be difficult and Sarah was able to read him really well and handled him like the professional she is. My dogs love Sarah and i will definitely book with her again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Old Hickory is $19 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $30 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.
As of November 2026, there are 3,978 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Old Hickory. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 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.
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.

- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 96% 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 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.
