“Dana is a thorough, caring and responsive sitter who genuinely loves animals! We felt so secure leaving our kitties in her care, and she also managed to capture some of the cutest photos of our cats ever taken. She took care of food, water, cleaned up the occasional mess and kept us posted on two of our kittens who’d recently been spayed and needed some extra attention so they wouldn’t mess with their stitches. We are absolutely making Dana our go to sitter from here on out, and we would wholeheartedly recommend her to others looking for animal care.”

About: To me, pet sitting isn't just a job—it’s about providing a safe, loving home away from home where your animals feel completely cherished. I have 10 years of deep experience caring for all kinds of unique pets, from small hamsters, rabbits, and jumping spiders, to large breeds like Cane Corsos and German Shepherds. I am entirely comfortable and confident managing big dogs, understanding their strength, and giving them the gentle, structured guidance they need. Whether your fur baby needs a long walk, a specialized routine, or just extra patience and cuddles, I treat every single animal with the same love, respect, and devotion I would show my own I work part-time in security and get to choose my own schedule. Because my days are so flexible, I’m entirely available for any special requirements or extra care your pet might need I pride myself on creating a safe, calm, and trustworthy environment for animals. I have personal experience caring for a wide variety of pets—from traditional cats and dogs to small animals like rabbits and hamsters—meaning I understand how to respect their individual boundaries, handle specific enclosure requirements, and ensure a secure, hazard-free space.
“Cassi is amazing with our two dogs, Bear & Maggie. Cassi gave Maggie, our shy girl, time to slowly warm up to her, eventually winning her over. They enjoy her visits, and we are relieved to know they are loved and well-cared for while we are gone. We are grateful to have found Cassi and look forward to continuing to have her watch our pups!”
About: I grew up in the country, where I had more dogs than neighbourhood friends. I have rescued countless numbers of animals in my day. My first job was animal control for shelby county when I was sixteen. Now I'm everybody's favorite dog Uncle. I've had numerous friends and family request I watch over their pets because they know they'll be in good hands. Just last year I lost my best friend, a 15 year old black lab named Todd Philip. Turns out he rescued me, now it's time to give back! I'm a motorcycle mechanic so I work Monday-Friday 9am-3pm but this is "very" flexible. I can be available early mornings or evenings. 6am-8am or 4pm-11pm Plenty of room for laying around in my apartment, second story balcony for hanging outside. There is a big dog park less than 50 feet away from my door. Also there are 3 more dog parks that are at adjacent complexes that are easy to walk too. Less than five minutes walk to Percy Priest lake one of my favorite places to explore.
“Morgan was literally the best. One of our cats was diagnosed with diabetes just a couple weeks before we went out of town and Morgan was quick to learn how to give him his insulin and make sure both of our cats were alive and well taken care of the whole time we were gone!! We've never had to hire a cat sitter before so this was an incredible first experience. We're so thankful for her & can't wait to have her back!”
“Dominic is awesome! He’s a great communicator which is huge for pet parents who worry. You can tell he really loves animals and does a great job taking care of them. We’ll definitely book again!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Old Hickory
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!
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!

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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.

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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
