“DeAnna provided excellent care to our dog, Guinea pig, and chickens! From the start she was a great communicator and we felt at ease being gone from our critters. Our dog got lots of walks and play time. We highly recommend DeAnna!”
“Marissa did a great job house/cat sitting while we were away for a few days. She was punctual, communicated with us how things were going, and most importantly, took great care of our cat!!”
“Anna provided phenomenal care for my dog while I was away! She stayed overnight at my place, and left it in great shape, provided regular photos and updates of my pup, administered medications, and my pup seemed very comfortable with her. Highly recommend her!”
“We love Emma, and so do our dogs! I always feel comfortable leaving my home in her hands, and she treats it with great care. She sends daily photos and updates on the pups which I love!”
About: I have three pups of my own, (Roosevelt, 6 year old border collie, Sadie B, 5 year old dalmatian mix, and Chewbacca, 1 year old Carolina dog.) They are all rescues. I adore them, they are my babies. I would have many more if I had a farm and could talk my husband into it. I visit dog shelters regularly and become familiar with all the pups. I know how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pups when you go out of town. Please contact me with your pet sitting needs. Thanks "Every once in awhile a dog enters your life and changes it." "A dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than he loves himself." "Be the person your dog thinks you are"
“Madison was absolutely amazing!! She kept me updated the whole time I was out of town, and my pup Bandit had the best time with her!!! I can’t wait for Madison to stay with Bandit again sometime, and I would highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs my whole life but I’ve worked with dogs professionally for about a year now. I work at dog training and boarding facility in a few different roles. I’ve been a trainer, kennel technician, bather, as well as in the office scheduling boarding stays for our pups! I’d love to care for more dogs after work! I’m good at it and I enjoy it so much! I currently work 8am to 4pm. But I have plenty of time to spend with your pup after work! We can go for walks, go to the park or have a bath and get cleaned up! I can come to you home and care for your dog there or I can pick them up, take them out for some fun to get some energy out, and bring them back home safe and sound. I can crate them in my SUV for easy and safe transport.
“She’s a pro!! Stayed at our house with our 10 month old Yorkie who started with diarrhea the day before we were suppose to leave for Disney!! ? Not many would have been willing to watch a sick little guy. Carol is very self sufficient, didn’t need all of my instructions and she made everything super easy for us. I also loved that she did a meet and greet before we left. Oh and a bonus...she brought in all of our packages and mail while we were gone. We had never had anyone stay in our house before. Our pup and our house were very well cared for! Will definitely use her again!”
“Blaise was great! She kept in contact with me and sent me multiple pictures. She followed all instructions for Athena’s care. We are so thankful that Athena was cared for by such a caring person. Athena absolutely loved Blaise!”
About: I have taken care of a lot of animals. I’ve had exotic animals, cats and dogs. I’ve taken care of senior dogs while also taking care of four week old puppies I will always make sure your animals are treated as if they were my own and make sure they get all the love and attention that is needed. I’m currently only working afternoons so I am available in the morning but I can normally drop in twice a day if needed. For housesitting, I will make sure your house is clean and tidy when I leave and make sure your animal is well taken care of I will make sure your dog stays on their schedule and has adequate time outside. I will love on your fur babies and keep them safe while you are out of town.
“Amira did a great job watching our pets and the house for 3 days while we were out of town. She is very friendly and personable. Great communication during the entire trip. Sent pics of the animals every day. We couldn't have asked for more. Thanks Amira!”
About: I’ve worked with dogs and cats the last 7 years. In a boarding and clinic environment. I have experience with every size dog and cat as well as medicine administration (oral or injection). I’m usually home with my fur babies unless I have to run errands. I might be gone up to 4 hours. When boarders are in my home I try to stay with them more until comfortable. Then if they are social can introduce my pack and slowly meet one by one. Eventually everyone will be able to be out and play. I have a fenced in front yard and fur babies to play with your pets. We have a variety of temperaments and ages, based on your pups body language I would probably have the right fit for them :) or they can also have alone time and be rotated out to avoid other dogs. I crate all my dogs at night before bed. I have cameras around my yard and outside the house for security as well.
“Casey took care of our two dogs and cat for a week while we were traveling. She came to our house to meet the “boys” about a week before we left and all three of them took an instant liking to her! She stayed at our house so the boys could be in familiar surroundings and kept us in the loop with photos and texts while we were traveling so we could see what a good time they were having back at home. I will definitely ask her to pet sit again. It was a great experience for our boys and for us.”
About: ~Hello, dear friends & furry children! (: My name is Mariah, & I am a 31 year old woman from TN. I am a CNA—certified nurse assistant, who has provided care for several senior patients & families in the Nashville area, within the privacy of their homes. I have assisted patients with daily hygiene, toileting, meal assistance, medication management, sit to stand transfers & movement through the home, housekeeping, grocery shopping, office work for the past 3 years. I have also slept over at one of my patients home many times & made sure her whole house was locked up before we went to bed & everything was taken care of. ~Pets have been a part of my life from a very early age. My sisters had kittens & cats that they cared for when we were growing up, and I owned 2 sweet doggies from the time I was in 8th grade to 29 years old. My second doggy, I raised from the time she was a tea cup sized puppy to her passing at 14 years old. She truly was my fur child, & I grieved her passing. I drove her to vet visits, paid for her medication & surgery. I bathed her, fed her, paid for her food, walked her, held her, & cuddled her as much as I could. She is now buried in my parents’ backyard with a statue to honor her sassy little sweet life, & I keep pictures of her in my room. ~As a dog/house sitter, in the past, I have dogsat for 2 different families while they were away & stayed at their homes. I have provided backyard play, dog walks, followed feeding instructions, & given lots of pets & cuddles. These two dogs were an Australian shepherd puppy & another breed I can’t recall. I have also taken care of my patients’ pets. A calico rescue cat named Callie. I fed her, cleaned her water dishes, refilled her water containers, cleaned out her litter box, vacuumed her room, & gave her lots of attention. Sadie, a Maltese senior dog who I took outside for bathroom visits & supervised while my patient held her leash. Sophie, another sweet senior Pit mix rescue dog who just needed bathroom breaks outside, water, cuddles, & a few short walks. And Gretschen, a goldendoodle with high energy. We went outside together frequently for backyard play with his many toys, neighborhood walks, & fed him twice a day & added his probiotic powder. I look forward to hopefully meeting & taking care of your fur child & home! (: I am currently in a job transition. I am a certified CNA. I provide care for senior patients & patients diagnosed unexpectedly within their home. It has been a privilege. Many of my patients have become like family. I have also taken care of many pets within the home as well as provided dogsitting/housesitting services. I am available for long boarding stays & can even do housekeeping, dog walks & care, anything that is needed for pet care throughout the week. I have open availability. I have a large partially fenced in backyard. I have a great neighborhood for dog walking with side walks leading all the way to the Publix near my house as well as coffee near my house that is dog friendly. I have a dogsitting outdoor restaurant that I could take your dog to..to play & interact with other dogs if socializing is important to you. I also have a public park I could take your dog to. It’s 5 minutes away by car. Obviously this is all if you needed care provided within my home, but I can definitely provide care from your home & neighborhood.
About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life. More recently I have fostered and I’m able to even administer medication if necessary. We love caring for animals. My schedule is very flexible and I can work around your needs. I’m up with the sun and can work into the evening. Happy to fit your pet into my schedule! I am are very strict about keeping dogs on leashes and cats inside. Your pet’s safety is our number one priority. I’ll keep a close eye on your pet.

DeAnna stayed overnight with my pup Rex. I loved seeing him chilling out on the patio. He was calm and content when I got home, so I know he had a great time. DeAnna is easy to communicate with and has lots of doggie experience. I can't wait to book her again to stay with Rex!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Dickson on Rover is $42.18 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 1,587 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Dickson. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
Tip: 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 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.
