“Sally & Daniel are amazing! They are true animal lovers. Their energy is so comforting. I will be booking many more day-care days as well as overnights. I wish I found Sally years ago. My dog is quirky and has a couple special considerations. I feel 110% confident in Sally and the care she provides to my little guy. My dog had the best 1st day with her. He cuddled, played, napped, sunbathed, pottied, and barked. Sally texted me updates with pictures of him throughout the day, which brought me so much joy. He was sent home with a report card giving an overview of his day (love!!!!). It puts me at so much ease knowing he is taken care of like a special prince when I am not available for him. Sally is such a genuine, kind, loving person. I am excited for my dog’s next day with her (so is he)!”
“Allison was very good with our dog Bourbon she sent pictures of him and even took him in her car to pick up child he seemed to enjoy his time and was complete worn out when we picked him up.”
“Hayley was perfect for my two puppies! I had surgery so she kept them during the day and afternoon. They came home tired and content. Can’t ask for anything better. So appreciative of her.”
“Michelle is so kind and has such a great love for dogs! I absolutely trust her to take the best care of my dog, Stevie, and Im so glad to have found such a great dog sitter!”
“Valerie was amazing. I could not have asked for a better pet sitter. She absolutely loves and understands dogs. Had water ready for them. Took them outside to go potty as we had just got in from Gatlinburg. She kept me up to date. Will definitely use her again if we are ever in Nashville again.”
“We're very pleased with Konnor's doggy daycare service. She was very accommodating of our last-minute, 1-day notice. Finn had plenty of fur friends to play with. He returned to us looking as happy as a clam! We will definitely book with her again the next time we stay in the Nashville area.”
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.

About: Hi, I’m Jazzy! I grew up on a ranch and have spent my entire life caring for animals of all kinds, including dogs, cats, horses, chickens, and livestock. Caring for animals comes naturally to me, and I understand that every pet has their own unique personality, needs, and routines. As a long-time business owner, I know how important trust, communication, and reliability are when someone is caring for a beloved family member. My goal is to provide a safe, calm, and loving experience while keeping you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy peace of mind while you’re away. I have experience caring for senior pets, administering medications, following specialized feeding schedules, and supporting pets who may need a little extra patience, reassurance, or attention. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having a consistent companion nearby, I strive to make them feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for in their own environment. Before each booking, I’d love to know about any medications, dietary restrictions, health concerns, routines, training cues, fears, or special preferences that help your pet feel safe and happy. Every animal is different, and I believe the best care comes from understanding what makes them unique. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I maintain a flexible schedule, work from home therefore I am able to accommodate many pet care needs. I work around your pets routine, personality, and comfort level! Your pet’s safety and happiness come first. I offer reliable care, a calm environment, and thoughtful attention tailored to your pet’s individual needs.
“Both dogs came home tired and content after a full day of play! Brook was amazing and very responsive, quick to solidify our booking and sending photos and videos throughout the day of our dogs. Jules can be a wildcard because of her anxious GSD energy, but even she relaxed and appeared to have a good time.”
“Alyssa not only saved us with short booking, it was evident she was skilled at working with dogs. Her furry loved one showed great disciple and we knew immediately she was gong to care for our loved one. We came into Nashville from Pennsylvania and couldn't have felt more comfortable. And honestly Alyssa's responsiveness before we met put that at ease. When we came to pick Obi up it was like he was a part of their pack. Thank you! We'll definitely be looking you up again when we are back in town!”
“Emily took wonderful care of my fur baby, Sugar, while we were visiting Nashville. She has a large fenced yard where the dogs can play, and I appreciated the extra safety measures she took. Emily put Sugar’s collar on in addition to her harness in case she somehow got loose, which showed me she was thinking ahead and treating Sugar like one of her own. Before I left, Emily carefully introduced Sugar to the other dogs and made sure everyone got along and that Sugar was comfortable. That gave me tremendous peace of mind. I felt completely comfortable leaving my girl in her care, and it was obvious Sugar was well loved and well cared for while we were away. I would happily trust Emily with Sugar again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and conscientious pet sitter.”
About: I’ve always treated pets like family! Not just my own, but every dog and cat I’ve cared for over the years. From helping a nervous rescue settle into a new routine to caring for a diabetic dog who needed consistent, attentive support, I’ve learned that every pet deserves personalized care, patience, and love. Pet parents trust me because I pay attention to the little things; like routine, behavior, comfort, and communication. Whether it’s puppy care, drop-in visits, dog boarding, cat sitting, or administering medication, I make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and understood in their own environment. I’m experienced with puppies, senior pets, anxious dogs, and cats with specific preferences, and I always adapt to each household’s needs. I’m also happy to follow detailed instructions. You can expect reliable care, a calm and loving presence, and regular photo updates, so you always feel connected while you’re away. I’d love to meet your pup or kitty and become someone they’re excited to see 🐾 Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. I work in the same building where I live and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide 3-4 walks a day, and frequent check-ins throughout the day if you decide to board. I’m available for boarding during the week and can easily accommodate morning, midday, and evening care, depending on your pet’s needs. Because I’m home often, pets are rarely left alone for over 4 hours periods, which is especially helpful for puppies, senior pets, or pets that need extra attention. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, so I make it a priority to give each pet the time, structure, and attention they’re used to at home. I live in a cozy apartment equipped with a home camera for added safety, and I have a friendly, well-socialized dog who enjoys the company of both cats and dogs. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, and daily exercise. My neighborhood is great for dog walks and enrichment, with plenty of space for sniffing and exploring.
“Our 2 pups are always excited to go see Brandon. In every photo he sends I can tell the pups are happy and comfortable with him. I never have to worry about the care they receive with him.”
“Carolyn is very conscientious and caring, making sure she knows everything about how to take care of your fur baby. The boys had a blast with her and I got lots of pictures and videos. Thank you!”
“Lauren was amazing! My dog and hers got along great and her yard is very secure. My dog was happy, fed, and extremely tired every night when I picked him up. Highly recommend!”
“Tara and her husband did a fantastic job watching our dog! We were very happy with communication and updates throughout the visit. We felt completely comfortable and knew our dog was being well cared for. Very happy and will book again!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Old Hickory on Rover is $27.75 per day (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Old Hickory commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 1,225 sitters in Old Hickory, 86% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
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.
