“I have 3 small but big personality dogs and Jessie couldn’t have taken better care of them. In the pictures of their visits I could tell just how much fun they were having. I was almost scared they’d be disappointed when she wasn’t the one walking through the door! Pick Jessie :) she’s the best”
“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.”
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.
About: I have had the amazing opportunity to run and operate an animal rescue for 5 straight years. During which time we tended to each and every need including medical needs. I am home all day long. I can focus on playing with your animal for hours, making sure your animal always has eyes on them for their safety. During an animals stay or visiting the clients home. I like to make sure that the animal is well cared for by strict eating schedules as well as bathroom breaks. Let’s not forget about play time.
“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!!”
“My cats are very high maintenance and I appreciate how much care she spent for them. Coming home to my cats well taken care of (including any accidents) was a big relief.”
“Jordan was so wonderful! We felt so safe having her watch our babies. She paid special attention to their care and instructions. Her check-ins were so helpful and made us feel comfortable while in her care. Can’t thank her enough and definitely will have her back again soon!”
About: I’ve been taking care of friends and family members’ pets my whole life. When I walk into a room or see pet owners on the street I greet the dogs first! My friends and family often get jealous because their dogs will want to be near me or sleep in my bed when I’m around. My favorite past time is taking my pooches to the dog park to make new friends and out on walks and hikes in the woods. I love giving animals full love and attention because they really are the best of us and ask so little in return for their unconditional love. I create my own schedule, piecing together my different offerings, so I can give your babies the love and attention they deserve when they need it. I’ll make sure your pets are fed and let out when they need it. I’m very attentive to animals cues and respond accordingly. Beyond the basics of feeding, walking and potty breaks I’ll give your pets the individual love and attention they need.
About: Ever since I was 5 years old, I have had dogs! I love animals of all kinds but dogs have 95% of my heart! Currently have 3 dogs, from a 7 year old shih-tzu to a 4 month old golden. I can also help teach basic commands like sit, paw, stay. Rest assured your pup will feel loved and cared for with me. 1000% garuntee. I work from home and mostly a homebody. I will be able to give your pup all the attention they need! Have a fenced in backyard for them to enjoy. If they need a walk every hour, happy to do that as well. Need to get my 10k steps in!! Fully fenced in yard, super friendly pups of my own! I walk my dogs every hour around the block and let them enjoy the backyard whenever they want! Your pup will get the same amazing treatment!
“Sophia is truly a dependable and intelligent lady. She took such excellent care of our kitty - again! I know that Mark is in good hands with Sophia, even when he isn’t feeling great. We are so thankful to have found her.”
“Danielle did great with my dog! My dog has high energy and isn’t often left alone. Danielle did not seem phased by my crazy girl and her antics. She was dependable, left a detailed report with a lot of photos, and loved on my girl which made leaving her a bit easier! I definitely recommend Danielle and will book her for future needs!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Old Hickory
Cassandra took great care of Mr. Berry while I was away recently. He liked her from the moment he laid eyes on her! She always showed up right on time, and I know they had big fun together from the great pictures she sent as well as his calm demeanor when I got home. We will definitely call on Cassandra again!
Jennifer took care of our cats, Jacques and Marquette, while we were out of town, and she was wonderful. She was always prompt, kept us updated after every visit, and was so kind and gentle with both cats. We came home to two happy, relaxed cats. I would never hire anyone else.
Carmen was one of the best dog sitters we have ever used on Rover. She sent thorough updates everyday and took great care of our dogs. We have a brand new puppy and Carmen went above and beyond and taught our puppy a few new tricks while she visited on the drop-ins. I think our dogs want us to leave the house more now so Carmen can come over to play more. 🙂
Jemima is attentive, thorough, and such a great listener! Brownie absolutely loves spending time with her and gets so excited every time she sees her. It’s clear how much Jemima genuinely cares, and we feel very comfortable knowing Brownie is in such good hands!
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.
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Old Hickory is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $29 per visit. On Rover, sitters 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 4,108 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Old Hickory. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Old Hickory. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 sitter 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 sitter 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 sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters 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 sitter.
