“Astrid did a great job taking care of my two dogs while I was away for the weekend! She showed up on time for every visit and sent plenty of pictures and updates. Would recommend her to anyone!”
“She did a fantastic job with my three cats! She was very helpful and made sure I didn’t worry about them while I was on vacation. I would recommend her for anyone who is looking to take care of their animals!”
“Brooke is awesome and truly goes above and beyond. We came home to our babies feeling happy and relaxed instead of anxious like they can be when we’ve been gone. Book her today!”
“Kendall was so great with my fur babies! During our meet and greet, I immediately knew she was a good fit because my typically grumpy Lola immediately warmed up to her. I’m convinced all three of my babies were disappointed when I came home because they were hoping it was Kendall.”
“Bryanna was very prompt, detail oriented and caring during the three drop in visits we requested this past weekend. She was also wonderful to agree to a meet & greet beforehand and it made me feel great to also read the other reviews she has received from other clients! Highly recommend!”
“Yea, I found a new pet sitter! My previous pet sitter, who I loved, recently retired from pet sitting so I was left with the task of finding a replacement who could fill her shoes. I found that and more with Sarah! She did an awesome job taking care of my cat Smokey. Very thorough and professional covering all the needed bases. I highly recommend her if you're looking!”
“Sarah is excellent! She’s a very responsive and took great care of my cats while I was away on holidays. Would definitely recommend her as a responsible and friendly sitter.”

“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’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.

“She took such good care of my kitty, champagne, super last minute and managed to squeeze me in during a busy holiday. Grateful for her services and I will use her in the future.”
“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!”
“Laura is quick to communicate and so friendly and caring. She made us feel completely at ease while being away from our beloved cats for nearly 2 weeks. Will definitely use her services again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Old Hickory
We really appreciate Cecilia taking care of our cats. She was very personable and did a great job. My old kitty needs a special hand and medication. Cecilia was able to give him what he needed with no stress. We will be requesting her again to watch our babies.
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.
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!
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!

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

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.
