“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!”
“Was very nervous about leaving our three furbabies with someone so we could take a much needed vacation. Nevaeh took all those worries away. We were so glad to find an option to hire someone to stay with our pups where they are most comfortable, at home. Nevaeh stayed with them each night and gave us updates. She is almost a dog whisperer, able to get the dogs in when they are usually stubborn about coming in at night when we are gone. We highly recommend Nevaeh as a house/dog sitter and so very thankful we have found someone we can trust to have sit with them in the future!”
About: I’ve taken care of hundreds of dogs over the past 2 years, all of different ages and sizes, with different needs. From walking, transporting, playing, supervising playtime, cuddling, cleaning, and assisting those in need, I am capable of doing just about anything you need for your fur baby. (Worked at Greymont kennel services and Chasing Tail Pet Farm, have done pet sitting off of rover, and have owned multiple dogs of different age/size, with different limitations) I have work from 0500-1630 but I’m still available on weekends can still work around those times I just need to be able to make it to work on time!! In your home, your pets comfort and safety are a top priority, as is respecting your space. Your home will always be left as it was found if not better, and your pets won’t be lonely with me around!
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.
About: I have experience caring for cats, including those with anxiety and overgrooming. I currently care for my own cat and focus on keeping a calm, consistent environment. I’m comfortable with feeding, litter box care, medications, and paying attention to behavior changes. I take time to build trust with each cat and always provide updates and photos. I also grew up with puppies. I have experienced walking, going potty, and playing! Pet care fits naturally into my routine, especially in the evenings and on weekends. I have a consistent schedule and am available Wednesday through Friday in the evenings and Saturdays during the day. I already care for my own cat daily, so feeding, cleaning, and spending quality time with pets is something I’m used to. I plan my schedule carefully to make sure each pet gets reliable, on-time care and attention. In a client’s home, I follow your cat’s normal routine to keep things as stress-free as possible. I handle feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, and playtime or quiet companionship depending on your cat’s personality. I take a calm, patient approach, especially with shy or anxious cats, and never force interaction. I also monitor behavior, administer medications if needed, and send regular updates with photos so you feel at ease while you’re away.
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was nine. In the past three years I’ve recently become a cat mom and now have 12 cats on my own with my fiancé. We live on a farm and we’ve been using the 11 acres we have to offer homes to pets that need new environments or random cats we found and neutered in the local stray colony. Through this process I’ve learned a lot about veterinary animal care, from getting care for small cuts and abrasions to CPR to recovering from surgery and so much more. I have cared for cows and horses, though it has been a few years so I would need a refresher course. I love animals and I love caring for them and would love to care for yours as well. I’m currently working from home as a freelancer. My schedule and time are very flexible as I can work from pretty much anywhere with the Wi-Fi signal. I do occasionally have work calls throughout the day, but nothing that usually disrupts any feeding schedule. I have a lot of experience of caring for pets in other people’s homes/ as I’m house sitting at the same time. As I have a home filled with animals, it seems to an environment that might be overwhelming to some pets. I have a lot of experience with animals that need medical attention as I have taken care of many strays. I can handle pretty much any age level from kitten to senior cat, from puppy to senior dog, etc. When I housesit, I usually clean the entire place, including the bathroom and kitchen areas unless otherwise requested. Of course, cleaning any litter boxes needed as well as general tidying, such as vacuuming or sweeping.
About: I grew up with a rotating cast of pets in my house, from hermit crabs to snakes to hamsters to cats and dogs. I currently have 3 cats and a big yard with tons of space for playing! Can’t wait to care for your babies, whether they’re furry, crawly, or scaly 🐛 I’m a student and I work from home so I have plenty of time and flexibility for pet sitting! I love to go for walks and I’d love to take your fur baby along! My home is a large, spacious bungalow with a huge fenced yard and tons of space for fetch, dragonfly chasing, sunbathing, or bug hunting (whatever your baby is into). My own cats get at least an hour of outside time every morning and your fur baby is welcome to join us!
“Dania was fantastic while watching our pup Betty White over a long weekend. She sent lots of pics, was communicative, and left our house cleaner than when we left. Would not hesitate to rebook or recommend as a house sitter. Will be booking again!”
About: Hi! Before moving to Tennessee, I lived at a 35-dog professional racing kennel on the North Shore of Minnesota. Needless to say, I am passionate about dogs, and critters of all kinds for that matter! I am well-versed in medication delivery, first-aid, temperamental pets, unique feeding preferences, and just about anything else you could throw at me. I work from home with flexible hours! I am a notorious early bird and I’m more than happy to spend as much time as possible with your baby. I am eager to learn your exact care preferences to make sure your pet barely notices you’re gone! As the owner of two incredibly high-energy breeds, I believe that a tired pooch is a happy one. I would love nothing more than to make sure your baby has fetched, walked, and played to their heart’s desire.
“Great interaction and my dog wasn’t even mad at me when I returned. Usually he turns his back to me after I’ve been gone a few days (while sitting on my feet so I can’t leave again). Jayla must have kept him happy because he is relaxed and calm.”
About: I grew up on a farm caring for all kinds of animals so if you’re looking for a diversified animal sitter I’m your guy. On the farm I gained experience working with and caring for dogs and cats from birth to elderly. I’m a personal trainer in Nashville Tn on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. If you’re located in town I’m available to drop in periodically on those days and am available around the clock on all other days. If you’re outside of Nashville it may be as long as 8 hours that I’m away on M,W,F but I’m available around the clock on all other days. As an in home pet sitter I try to replicate the same schedule, play time, attention and care that your pets are accustomed to in order to reduce their stress while you are away.
“I recently hired Ian to watch my beloved fur babies while I was away for the weekend, and I couldn't be happier with the service he provided. From the moment he started caring for my dogs, I could tell he truly loves animals and was committed to making sure my pets felt comfortable and cared for. He sent me regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. It's always nerve-wracking leaving your pets with someone new, but I could tell my dogs was in good hands with him. I highly recommend Ian to anyone looking for a trustworthy and reliable pet sitter.”
About: We're Kelly and David, a Nashville couple who grew up around dogs and have been caring for them our whole lives. We love to travel, and house sitting has become a fun way to get a little of that same variety right here in our own city — a new neighborhood, a new routine, a new dog to hang out with. We'll keep your pets on their normal schedule, stick to the instructions you leave rather than improvising, and handle the small stuff while you're gone: mail in, plants watered, trash out on the right day. You'll get photos and a quick check-in each day so you actually know how things are going, and you'll come home to a house that's been looked after. We work for ourselves managing rental properties around Nashville, so our schedule is flexible and we're not tied to an office all day. That means when we're staying at your place, your pets aren't alone for long stretches — one of us is usually around, and we plan our days around their walks, meals, and medication times rather than squeezing them in. We take house sitting jobs one at a time so we're not running between houses, and we treat your home as our home base for the stay, not a place we stop by. We only offer house sitting, so everything happens in your home on your pets' normal terms. Before the stay we do a meet-and-greet to walk through feeding amounts and times, where everything lives, walk routes, any medications, and how your pets do with strangers, other dogs, and time on their own. During the stay we keep that schedule as close to exactly as you left it as we can — same food, same walk times, same spot on the couch if that's allowed. We give your pets our full attention and stay in touch with photos and a short daily update, and we check with you first on anything you haven't already covered. We also keep up the house while we're there — mail and packages in, plants watered, trash and recycling out, thermostat where you like it — and we clean up and wash the linens before we go, so the place looks the way it did when you left.
“This is the 2nd time Giovanni house-sat for us. He is the best! Plenty of updates, took great care of our cats and dog, and he took diligent care of our home. Looking forward to hiring you again, Giovanni!”
About: I’ve had my girl Korra since she was 6 weeks old. Then I took in her mom, Sadie, a few months later. Since then I’ve taken care of several other friends’ dogs, and would love to help you take care of yours! My dogs are basically my daily routine, so let me take care of yours as well! We love to play ball outside and take laps around the house😂 I don’t have a fenced in yard, and I do live on a moderately busy road. But I’ve always walked my dogs off leash and I’ve never experienced a problem living here. Of course I don’t mind walking other’s pets on a leash if that’s what’s preferred, and when they’re inside they have free rein of the entire house.
“Grayson was great with our pup Ellie! She kept us up to date with plenty of pictures while we were gone and loved on our pup well! Already booked her for another stay!”
“This was our first time using Rover and our first time using Ashley. She was absolutely incredible with our dog and diabetic cat! She checked in with us often and loved on our fur babies just as if they were her own! We came home to a clean house and happy pets. We would highly recommend Ashley and will definitely have her back!”
“Maryna was fantastic! From the meet and greet, we could tell she's a real dog lover and our dogs, Finn and Cooper, felt comfortable around her right away. She followed all our house rules and instructions perfectly. It was such a relief knowing she was staying with the dogs while we were away. Couldn't be happier with her service and will definitely book her again!”

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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
