“Emily is the best! She always takes such great care of Grace (our cat) and our home, giving us complete peace of mind while we're away. She's thorough, trustworthy, and never hesitates to help with extra house duties when we ask. We especially appreciated her being available on a holiday weekend with very little notice. We highly recommend Emily to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”

About: I am UNavailable Monday, Wednesday, and Friday 6 to 9 am and 7 to 10 pm due to classes. I am also UNavailable Tuesday and Thursdays 6 to 9 am and 6 to 9 pm due to classes. I have always taken care of dogs and cats for as long as I can remember. I have had a cat nearly my entire life and taken care of dogs since I was 8 years old. I am currently a college, graduate-student, so I can take care of your dogs and cats most of the time during the week. I have seven pets, also known as my "children," that I have taken care of for the last 4 years. I can always take your dogs or cats out on a walk, give them the play time that they need. I can provide all the love and cuddles that they need.

About: I’ve been an animal person all my life and have always cohabitated with cats and dogs—I’ve been told I have good and calming energy with animals that makes them feel comfortable and secure with me. I have direct experience working in the animal care field at a local shelter; I facilitated dog and cat intakes, run dog playgroups & performed behavioral assessments. While managing the kennel, feeding schedules, special care and enrichment activities are important to me! I have direct experience administering vaccines, medication, and completing health assessments from newborn dogs and cats to seniors/palliative care. Gentle hands, warmth and kindness are important to me when handling animals. I take care of my own cats, dogs and chickens each day—working in the shelter environment it was a full time job, caring for animals. I hope to move into a more flexible routine caring for animals that aligns with my lifestyle. I will care for your animals just like how I care for my own. Maintain feeding schedules, exercise needs and balanced play/relax time. I have no problem administering medications and special meals for your pets and meeting their standard of care!

About: I absolutely love caring for dogs and have experience looking after dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to senior companions. I’ve also completed many drop-in visits, including feeding, providing fresh water, giving medications, and making sure each dog feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I am currently enrolled in school full time so it fits into my routine perfectly with not having to work different jobs while in school. I care for every animal as if they were my own, providing them with the same love, attention, and care I would give to my own pets. I also treat every client’s home with the most respect and care, keeping their space clean and treating it as I would my own.

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: My first pet was a cat growing up, and later on I helped take care of my family’s Golden Retriever and got to watch him grow up. I’ve also pet sat through Trusted House Sitters in places like Chicago and Boston, caring for dogs in their own homes. I love getting to know each dog’s personality and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I currently work remotely as a graphic designer, which gives me a flexible schedule throughout the day. I always enjoy getting outside, so spending time walking and caring for pets is the perfect break from my desk. When pet sitting, I always treat every home and pet with the same care and respect I would my own. I'll follow your routine closely, keep you updated with photos and messages, and make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away.

About: I have loved and taken care of dogs of all sizes for most of my life. I have adopted many rescues and provided foster care for the country animal shelter. I provide care for all dogs (puppies-to-seniors, small or big, rescues, etc.), bearded drag dragons and I am very passionate about their comfort. I provide daily pictures and videos, and spontaneous video calls welcomed. *DROP INS: I do not visit homes, but I offer $5 an hour (4 hour minimum) for you to drop your pup by for a quick stay. Please reach out for more information! I am newly retired and have plenty of time to care for your doggie babies and bearded dragons. I'm available for boarding every day and can fit any schedule. I have a fenced yard, doggie door and 3 dogs of my own that love having daily or even overnight friends. I prefer not to crate unless that is your desire. Doggies go in and out at their will and do not have any restricted areas in my home.

About: I have such a passion for animals and for doing something I love and care about. I am a fur lover who thinks that every animal deserves the best life. I do have a little weakness for giving treats so please let me know any dietary restrictions prior to my arrival. Having animals my entire life I am not hesitant to look or care for other creatures as well, anything from Guinea Pigs to actual pigs. If you have any additional questions about my sitting style or my personal preferences please do hesitate to ask! Hope to hear from you soon Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I prioritize making sure your pet feels comfortable and loved, whether it’s through regular visits, playtime, or just being there to provide companionship. My flexible schedule allows me to dedicate the time needed to ensure your pets routine stays consistent, so they always feel safe and secure. Safety, trust, and comfort are at the core of my pet care approach. My home is fully pet-proofed, with no exposed wires, harmful plants, or small objects that could be swallowed, ensuring a safe environment for your pet. I’m on a floor level with no stairs, offering easy access, and my fenced-in yard provides a secure space for outdoor play, with a screen door to let in fresh air while keeping your pet safe inside. All doors and windows are securely locked, with childproof locks where needed, to prevent any accidental escapes. I’m trained in pet first aid and CPR, with an emergency kit ready and a plan in place for any unexpected situations. Daily health checks allow me to monitor your pet’s well-being, while regular updates and photos keep you informed, so you can trust that your pet is safe and happy. If transportation is needed, I use pet-friendly, secure carriers or harnesses to ensure safe travel. For homes with multiple pets, I provide separate feeding and resting areas to avoid conflicts and ensure each pet’s comfort. Finally, I maintain a clean and hygienic environment, regularly sanitizing feeding areas, toys, and bedding, so your pet always has a healthy space to relax in.

About: GET $20 DOLLARS OFF YOUR FIRST BOOKING WITH ME HERE ASHLEO89675, https://www.rover.com/sit/ashleo89675 COPY AND PASTE THIS CODE OR MESSAGE ME AND ASK ABOUT HOW TO USE MY CODE I’m a full-time engineering student with a passion for pets! Originally from Los Angeles, I moved here for my love of music. When I’m not caring for pets, I’m a food enthusiast, music lover, and movie binge-watcher who also enjoys the outdoors—whether it’s camping, light hiking, swimming, or roasting s’mores by the fire. I have specialized training in working with rescue pets, emotional needs, disabled and senior animals, diabetic care, and separation anxiety. Additionally, I’m skilled in adult dog and puppy training, as well as leash training. I also incorporate music therapy into my care routine to create a calming and stress-free environment, ensuring your pets feel relaxed and loved while you’re away. Fortunately, my schedule is very flexible, as I’m not tied to a corporate 9-5 job, and my degree program is 40% online. This allows me to prioritize my pet-sitting business and adapt to the unique needs of each client and their pets. I take your flexibility into account when planning my stay; knowing YOUR flexibility on the demands of your pet and the needs of your home as a client and pet owner allows me to coordinate groceries, packing appropriately, and consider weather conditions and activities in your area during the booking dates. With 20 years of caregiving experience—including working as an In-Home Care Provider for the State of California and nannying for children—combined with my professional home and pet-sitting services since 2018, I bring a wealth of expertise to every booking. This work not only sustains me financially but also supports my academic focus as I work toward my engineering degree. As a full-time home and pet sitter, my other commitments include only non-paid internships, church, and school. I work remotely from my laptop, often doing film editing in post-production and mastering music during my stays. This setup allows me to spend quality time with your pets while ensuring they’re not left alone for long periods, (unless otherwise stated). I also incorporate music therapy into my care routine, creating a calming and stress-free environment for your furry companions. My rates for house sitting are charged by the night, not by the day, to make my services as affordable as possible while covering school expenses, gas, and living costs. If you require extended daytime care, like my 24/7 presence, homestead and farm sitting, or other specialized arrangements, I am happy to discuss and adjust rates accordingly to meet your needs. Open and transparent communication is key for me, to ensure I fully understand your expectations and provide the best care possible for your pets and home. I look forward to working with you and providing peace of mind while you’re away. Please feel free to check out my reviews to learn more about the care I provide!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10, when we adopted a stray that was pregnant. Throughout Sweetie’s pregnancy, birthing, and weening, and our raising of her puppy Zorro, my mom taught me all about dogs, since her dad used to breed pugs and cavalier King Charles spaniels. Before Sweetie came to us, I had been wanting another dog, as our previous golden retriever, Jasmine, had been stolen. So, my mom bought me several books on all the different dog breeds, so I could educate myself on what to expect and what I wanted when we got our next dog. I learned so much throughout this time, and have only continued my education and experience with dogs. I love dogs so much that sometimes it feels like my heart is going to explode out of my chest. Every dog I meet, no matter how old, will always be a puppy to me. I sometimes think that the closest we will ever get to experiencing a physical manifestation of the love of God, is the love dogs have for us. I’m self-employed and currently don’t have any pets, so my schedule is very flexible. I’m happy to work with your schedule and your dog(s) routines! Noting and being aware of any specifications, such as meds, their usual routine/schedule, unique preferences, and any special requests the owner has made. Consistency is so important in maintaining mental health and stability for your pets!

“Grayson is amazing!!! She took on twice-a-day visits for my asthmatic cat and provided her with so much love and attention, in addition to giving her medications/inhaler and other regular cat needs. She sent me photo updates that helped me know Winky was happy and let me enjoy my vacation without worrying. We will definitely be asking Grayson to sit for us again, she’s the best!”

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Dickson

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Dickson is $24 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $36 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 October 2026, there are 2,613 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Dickson. 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 .

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Dickson. On Rover:

  • 88% 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 .

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.
