“I have been so lucky to book Honey for multiple occasions the last two weeks. I could not be happier with how she has treated Mr. Snowflake. Super kind and attentive. Responds quickly. Incredibly flexible with times. My dog already loves her and she plays with our cat when she stops in too! I was super hesitant about booking walks on Rover but Honey has not only put my mind at ease but Snowflake is much less stressed every day he sees her. I can not recommend Honey enough.”

About: Hi there! My name is Hayley, and caring for dogs has been a lifelong passion of mine. I’m a full-time mom and dog lover, and I share my home with my own four pups — so your dog will always feel like part of the family here. Dogs in my care are treated just like my own: loved, spoiled, and given plenty of play, structure, and comfort. I understand how stressful it can be to leave your pup behind, whether it’s just for the day or for a longer trip. My goal is to make the experience as smooth as possible for both you and your dog. You’ll always receive daily updates with 3–5 photos, and I’m happy to share how their day is going so you feel completely at ease. Services I Provide in my home: 🐾 Boarding (Overnight Stays): • Cozy, family-style environment with space to play and rest. • Dogs are not left alone for long stretches — they’re part of the daily routine with me and my family. • I welcome 6–10 dogs per day, which means plenty of playmates, but I carefully manage group sizes for safety and comfort. • Nights are flexible: dogs may sleep in crates (if that’s their routine), on a dog bed, or snuggled up wherever they’re most comfortable. Free-roaming spaces are limited due to safety and health but available! 🐾 Daycare: • Drop your pup off for a fun-filled day of play, potty breaks, and rest. • Outdoor playtime in secure spaces, weather permitting, and indoor playtime with toys and friends. • Nap/Cool down breaks to ensure dogs don’t get overstimulated. 🐾 Dog Walks (Add-On Service for boarding as well): • For well-leash-trained dogs only. • Neighborhood stroll: $5/per day (boarding, extra fee) • Park adventure: $10/per day (boarding, extra fee) Services I provide in your home: 🐾 Drop-In Services: • Visits are 15-60 minutes, depending on individual needs • Photos + report card provided each visit • Prices vary based on number of pets and responsibilities 🐶 Dogs: potty breaks, feeding, play time (as needed) 🐱 Cats: feeding and litter box cleaning, play time if needed. ***Price varies depending on number of cats and litter boxes ***Cat drop-ins typically last 10-20 minutes unless discussed prior ***aggressive cats will result in care ending early and a cancellation fee Why Book With Me • I’m CPR/First Aid certified for pets. • Experienced with seniors, anxious pups, medication needs, and high-energy breeds. • Dogs get personalized care — no “one size fits all.” I follow their routines as closely as possible and adjust where necessary to provide the most comfort for your furry family member. • Lots of love, patience, and communication along the way. 🏠Crate Time Policy • Dogs are crated according to their normal routine at home, or if it is in the best interest of their safety and comfort. • No dog will be crated longer than 4–6 hours at a time, with the exception of overnight. Crate time may be used for: • Rest breaks after active play to avoid over stimulation • Meal times (to ensure each dog eats undisturbed) • Safety during transitions, pick-ups/drop-offs, or if weather prevents outdoor play • When I leave my home or at my discretion based on where the dog is most comfortable and safe. 🐕 Puppies, seniors, and dogs with special needs may have differing crate intervals to match their comfort and training level. 🐕Parents should provide a crate their dog is comfortable with (or one will be provided if discussed prior). Dogs should already be familiar with crating prior to their stay (unless discussed previously) 🐕Dogs showing extreme crate anxiety will be accommodated with alternative safe rest areas when possible. This will be based on my experience and assessment with the dog. I will discuss with the parents for full transparency before proceeding with any changes in care. ✨ Please note: Your dog’s health and safety is always my top priority. Every dog is unique and comes with individual needs. Based on my experience and ongoing assessment, I will create and follow the care plan that best supports your dog’s comfort, well-being, and happiness during their stay.

About: I’ve had dogs and cats since I was a kid. I love taking care of these awesome little buds! I’ve taken care of and been around all sorts of dog breeds, including a few years of fostering dogs that needed some special love to make them feel safe and comfortable. I currently work part time from home, mostly doing video editing on my computer. My schedule is very flexible, allowing me to make time for watching over furry friends when they need it the most. I also live with my cousin, who is around a lot of the time and loves it when friends come to visit! Dogs are welcome to roam the house, and I am happy to crate your pets, if that is desired. Any pets I look after will get an enormous amount of attention, because I just won’t be able to help myself!

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.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Old Hickory

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Old Hickory is $17 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $25 per walk. On Rover, walkers 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 3,810 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Old Hickory. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in Old Hickory. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Old Hickory after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.

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 walker 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.

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

  • 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 93% 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.

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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

walkers 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 walker.
