About: I work at a doggy day care and I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and energy levels—puppies to seniors. My experience includes daily walks, feeding, playtime, basic training, and administering medication when needed like i did for my elderly dog. Whether it's high-energy pups or shy seniors, I hope to adapt to their needs with patience and love. Im currently free for a good amount of the week and would love to help care for your animals! I hope to hear from you soon I provide a safe, loving, and calm environment, follow all care instructions, and keep you updated so your pup feels secure, happy, and at home.
About: I have been working with dogs my whole life! I love them! I've mostly worked in boarding and daycare facilities and have a background in training. I am currently available any days of the week after 12:00 p.m. Daily visits, walks or just a snuggle session! I am open for overnights on weekends if needed. I would love to spend time with your babies in their own home. I have three dogs of my own so boarding in my home is not an option.
About: I love all animals. I currently have one French bulldog and one cat. I’ve had ferrets, rats and fish in the past. I work 4 days out do the week and when I’m not working, I’m hanging out with those guys. I have kept my friends animals (including chickens) in the past 3 years and have loved mine current babies and others from the past over 20 years. I’d love to watch and love your pet too! I work for myself and have a flexible schedule that’s close to home. This helps me to stop and check in on whoever will be staying. I wake up early to allow for early crate release if that is your baby’s routine and plenty of yard time and feeding or loves before work. I get home before 4:00 pm to allow for evening care. I stay home on weekends with the typical errands. My home has a large private fenced in yard with a medium pet door to allow for frequent outdoor visits. I have a Frenchie, Marla. She is up to date on shots and show no aggression toward Any pet that comes to visits or stay. My home does have a spare bedroom and has plenty of space for relocation of animals if necessary. I can also crate your pet if that’s the routine you choose. I do have one inside/outside senior car that only comes in if the weather is bad but generally stays himself or in the garage. He rarely visits unless he is hungry. Smoke free home.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover and experienced pet care professional who truly believes every dog deserves to be understood as an individual. I’ve loved and owned dogs my entire life, and caring for them has always been something I’m incredibly passionate about. For the past three years, I worked at a professional pet care facility where I gained hands-on experience with dogs of all ages, breeds, personalities, and energy levels. I worked in boarding, daycare, training, and enrichment, which taught me just how different every dog can be and how important individualized care is. I’ve also taken online courses and read books and educational resources about canine behavior, genetics, communication, enrichment, and training. I’m always learning more about dogs and what makes them happy, comfortable, and successful. I believe there is no one-size-fits-all approach to caring for dogs. Every dog has their own wants, needs, personality, and comfort level, and my goal is to meet them where they are. Whether your dog is playful, high-energy, shy, nervous, independent, or a total couch potato, I’ll take the time to understand them and provide the patience, attention, enrichment, and care they deserve. Your dog isn’t just a pet to me—they’re family, and I’ll treat them that way. ❤️ I am currently at home full time with my pet crew. I don’t have specific availability or times. I’m very flexible, just shoot me a message and we can surely figure something out😊 I prioritize safety, comfort, and supervision for every pet. I have a fully fenced backyard and can provide care in your home or mine. I have three dogs, two who are friendly with other dogs and one who is comfortable with smaller dogs under 20 lbs. For larger dogs, I prefer in-home care unless they are crate trained, in which case I can safely rotate dogs between supervised time, the crate, and separate areas of the home to ensure everyone stays comfortable and secure.
About: Since I was young I’ve been taking home animals whether the are hurt or needing help getting back to there home. I work at a shelter until I get started in a vet tech program. I have a background of fostering. I can give oral/topical medication. I work a full time job, leaving my house a 7:30 am and get home around 4:30 pm. My schedule changes every week but always work 5 days a week. I am more then willing to to help work with you on coming up with a schedule that work for everyone! I have a fenced yard and go out with my dogs every time. I have extra kennels if need be. Plenty of toys and treats to spoil your fury friend.
About: I have been around pets my whole life. Ive had to take care of plenty of animals. Turtles, dogs, cats, and birds. I love them all. I work from home 8:00AM-5:00PM Monday through Friday. Which makes it super easy to keep an eye on everyone all day & extra potty breaks! I have 1 border collie female who loves to play but if your dog is not a fan of other dogs we can always keep everyone separated, that’s not a problem. She loves it outside anyways! 🥰 I also have a shih tzu puppy (also female) who loves to play and wishes she was as big as all the other doggies 🥹 I’m currently working from home so your fur baby can hangout with me during the day in my office & of course potty breaks at any time! For the bigger doggies; I have my Bailey (Border Collie mix) who is full of energy & would love to play throughout the house. For my smaller doggies I have a shih tzu puppy who also loves to play 😇 We love to snuggle up on the couch & just hangout around the house. & again, If needed, I can keep my dogs separate, I know others may not be a fan of the high energy & I definitely understand that!
“Our sitter was the best! She had her hands full with 5 dogs. We received daily updates and felt so comfortable leaving the dogs with her. They were calm and well behaved when we got home. Best decision ever by using ROVER.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Dickson walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Dickson maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Dickson choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
