About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities, and I understand that every pet has unique needs. I take the time to build trust with each animal and provide the same love, patience, and attention I would give my own pets. What sets me apart is my focus on personalized care. Whether your pet is a playful puppy who needs consistency and reinforcement of basic training, an active adult who loves long walks and playtime, or a senior pet who requires a gentler approach and extra comfort, I adapt my care to fit their needs. I am comfortable following detailed care instructions, administering oral medications, maintaining feeding schedules, and providing regular updates with photos and messages so you can feel confident while you’re away. Safety, reliability, and making sure your pet feels happy and secure are always my top priorities. My goal is to make your pet’s time with me feel like a fun, stress-free experience while giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in caring hands. 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, allowing me to provide consistent attention, companionship, and care throughout the day. I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate feeding times, potty breaks, walks, play sessions, and any special care instructions your pet may need. I enjoy spending time with animals and make sure they receive plenty of interaction, exercise, and affection. Whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, evening playtime, or maintaining a pet’s regular routine while you’re away, I prioritize making pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. I believe consistency is important for pets, so I work hard to keep their schedules as close to normal as possible and provide regular updates to owners for peace of mind. 🐾❤️ I provide a safe, clean, and loving environment where pets can feel comfortable and secure. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise, playtime, medication needs, and any special instructions provided by the owner. In my clients’ homes, I respect both the pet’s routine and the home itself. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, companionship, exercise, fresh water, and care while keeping their environment clean and stress-free. I understand that many pets feel most comfortable in their own surroundings, so I work to maintain their normal daily routine. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a calm, pet-friendly environment with plenty of supervision, affection, playtime, and opportunities for exercise. My priority is always your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
“Hannah has been an incredible help in settling in with my puppy. She has provided such good care and has been so communicative every step of the way. She even popped in last minute to help so that I could get a little extra time to enjoy a much needed day out. I highly recommend her!”
“This was my first time ever leaving my boy with a sitter while being out of town and I couldn’t have asked for a better one! Through great communication, pictures and punctuality, Jessie relieved my worries and took great care of my dog. He loves her too!!”
About: I’ve grown up with both dogs and cats and have over 15 years of hands on pet care experience. I also have two dogs of my own, so very comfortable with different personalities, routines and energy levels. I treat every pet like family. I work full-time during the week, so I’m available after 5 PM on weekdays for walks drops and evening care.

I’m flexible on weekends and can adjust to your pet’s routine to make sure they’re comfortable and well cared for. Your pets comfort and safety always come first. I’m reliable attentive and committed to keeping your pets relaxed in their own environment. I’m more than willing to come to your home so they can stay in a familiar space. Follow their normal routine and feel completely at ease while you’re away. You can count on me to treat your pets and your home with respect and care.
“Hayley did amazing! It was a drop in visit and she stayed the whole 30 minutes with my fur babies and played with them. I got lots of pictures. Very easy to communicate with. Would definitely book with her again 😊”
“Crystal was absolutely excellent! We booked her fairly last minute for three drop-in visits for our cat. We had to extend it to five drop-ins due to a change in our flight, and she was flexible and helpful. She sent lots of photos and updates. She was even kind enough to drip our faucets since it was going to be super cold out, feed our fish, and brought in some packages for us. I would use Crystal again and recommend her!”
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.
“Shelby is awesome! Nala isnt very easy to come around with new people but she warmed up to Shelby, and I think she loves her. I got updates and great photos while I was away, and my fur baby got lots of love and care from Shelby. Gonna be a repeat client for sure if both schedules work out. Thanks Shelby!”
“Lizzie was great! She was experienced with giving insulin which was a huge plus for our diabetic guy. We really appreciated the updates and videos we received and knowing everyone was well taken care of!”
About: Hello! I would love to take care of your dog while you are away! We now have a sweet cavapoo so your dog needs to be friendly to other dogs. I am home all the time so your dog will receive plenty of love and attention. In order to provide individualized attention I will only house sit one dog at a time. I can take your dog for walks or they can stay home, whatever you prefer. Your dog will be treated like family in my home. My family always had small dogs so I will only house sit little guys that are good and gentle to children and our puppy. We have had experience with senior dogs and dogs that required medication. I will just need detailed instructions on how to better care for them. I look forward meeting you and your sweet little pet. We are usually home all the time. My husband works from home, so someone will be with your dog at all times except rare exceptions. We have a fenced yard and your dog will always be supervised. We also put gates on the front porch when a dog is visiting to avoid runaways. We have a friendly small Cavapoo so your dogs needs to get along with other dogs.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Old Hickory
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.
Carmen was absolutely incredible with my dog Sally. It’s probably the first time I’ve felt at ease leaving Sally at home with someone that wasn’t a friend or family member. She was super communicative and attentive to all of Sally’s needs. 10/10 would gladly book her again!
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.
Shelby is awesome! Nala isnt very easy to come around with new people but she warmed up to Shelby, and I think she loves her. I got updates and great photos while I was away, and my fur baby got lots of love and care from Shelby. Gonna be a repeat client for sure if both schedules work out. Thanks Shelby!

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.

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 .

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.

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.
