Personalized care for your dog or cat - Dickson
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Dickson
“Victoria was an excellent dog sitter for me while on vacation to Jamaica. By dog stayed with her for 9 days and I was sent pictures of her playing and relaxing at least once per day. Her lot is huge and gives dogs enough space to run around and play. My dog has been exhausted for the last 2 days from all the fun she had. 10 out of 10 would recommend.”
“Christy was incredible with my two pups. One is older and the other a husky that is such a diva at times. Only my roommate had really kept them so I was incredibly nervous about them staying with someone else. Christy did great with Kai the husky and had no problem at all. She immediately sent me updates after I left showing me they had settled down and were doing well. She continued sending me updates each morning and evening, and when I picked them up they looked great and were so happy. Christy is amazing and what she does and you can tell she is an animal lover. When I need to leave town again I will definitely want to reuse her services. Thank you so much Christy!”
“Bailie was so sweet and took such good care of our dog! She was a great communicator throughout his stay with her and sent regular picture updates, which we really appreciated! We would ask her to care for our pup again in a heartbeat!”
“Angie was wonderful with Frankie. She loves dogs and took great care of our dog. She was very responsive and had excellent communication. I would definitely recommend her.”
“Huri was absolutely amazing with my little Nelly! She made sure that Nelly was well socialized, active, and loved. I also got some lovely picture updates on Nelly during her stay.”
“Juniper had such a great time with Lisa. Her property is beautiful and spacious and so peaceful. You can tell that everyone is well loved and cared for. When I arrived to pick up Juniper she was running around and playing with all of the other dogs. Highly recommend!!”
“We felt SO comfortable leaving our "children" with Karri and they seemed to be immediately at ease as soon as they walked in the door. It was clear to us that they would receive the same kind of affection & love that we provide at home so there was no reason to worry about whether Looney and Mac would have anxiety while we were away. The environment was calm and the dogs were relaxed & happy when we came to pick them up. In fact, they seemed better behaved when we brought them home! The texts with updates and photos were a nice addition that helped us know everything was fine. Looney and Mac will definitely be vacationing with Karri again soon!”
“This was our first experience using a third-party app like Rover my wife and I were constantly putting our animal in kennel stays as we went out of town. When I got recommended the app, I was a bit skeptical, but after meeting Chris and seeing his interaction with Mattis, I was comfortable and knowing that he’d be left in some good hands. As we went on vacation out of the country Chris kept us informed with scheduled messages and rapid communication anytime I reached out. He gave me and my wife a piece of mind with pictures letting us know our pup and (despite being close to 70 lbs) was safe and having fun.. thanks for taking care of our fur baby Chris. Cheers!”
“So grateful to have Alexis and her family to board our dog, Bear. They are reliable, keep us well updated, and are so good with our Bear. Will definitely continue using their services!”
“Brian and Tara were fantastic! They were incredibly responsive to messages and flexible to accommodate our travel details and a meet & greet. They have an excellent set-up, and our dog was in great hands. We particularly appreciated the frequent updates, pictures, and videos! We will definitely use them again!”
“Marcus was the perfect choice for keeping our senior dog. He was so attentive. He cared for Rex like he would his own dog. He sends pictures and updates frequently. When issues arose, Marcus reached out immediately and asked for guidance and offered assistance. I was able to fully relax and enjoy our family trip knowing that Marcus was keeping Rex exercised, fed and cuddled.”
“We had a 10/10 Rover experience with Marissa! She was super easy to coordinate with and we could tell that she took the best care of Eddie. He was so sleepy when we brought him home from playing with her pup all weekend! We will definitely be calling her again.”

“Tyler did a wonderful job caring for our kitties. I had set up an automatic feeder to give the cats dry food (Tyler was giving them wet food at his visits) and the cats toppled it and knocked it over. The next day, they clawed into the sealed bag of food I’d left out. Both times, Tyler graciously cleaned it up and helped me devise a way to keep the cats from doing it again. He checked in daily and sent occasional photos and videos, which my kids loved. I will definitely use him again!”

“Only had the pleasure of meeting Victoria when dropping off and picking up Brody. Victoria did a great job with Brody!

About: Hello! I’m a single mother currently looking for some extra income and I can’t think of a better way to do that than to do it with furry friends! I work from home, so that makes it really easy to care for an extra pet when I can. I currently have two cats in my home, and they have their own space, so if your dog is unsure with cats, that would not be a big issue. I grew up in a home that always had multiple cats and at least one dog at a time. I have experience working with dogs with special needs (blind & feeding issues), small dogs, large dogs, young dogs, puppies, and senior dogs. I currently work from home, so my days are pretty flexible for walks and drop-ins. Working from home also leaves great flexibility with boarding, and helps ensure that your dog(s) will never be left for long amounts of time! I have a small fenced in yard, though it does not include grass, I do have a very big field nearby, which I’d be happy to run around with a dog (leashed). I have two cats, both of which are friendly with other animals. I do have a young son, but he is very respectful of pets and is with his dad every other weekend.
“Heather sent photos and video so quickly, I didn’t have time to worry about my 2 boys first stay with her! They behaved better for her than me (typical), and I am so thrilled to have a place to take them when I need to! We will be regulars!”

“Belle was very good about explaining everything---areas available to the dog, other dogs at the home, toys, food, water, vet etc. Everything was clean. It was the first time my dog had been left with someone other than myself and so it was all new to him. I felt confident that Flynn was well taken care of and will use Belle again.”

My pup was well cared for and had a wonderful time playing with their darling young son and sweet dog. Big thanks to Alexis and her terrific family!!”

About: Hi! My name is Shayna. I am 29 years old and have been living in Dickson for over 18 years. I am always looking to build connections within my town and my favorite way to do that is through animals! I am happily married with a beautiful daughter, and we currently have 3 dogs and 3 cats. I also foster dogs from time to time! (We currently do NOT have any fosters, but I will be sure to update or inform you if that changes). I have had pets for all of my life, all varying from pocket pets all the way to large animal. My number one priority is the happiness and safety of your pets and I have no breed restrictions, but I do ask that you notify me ahead of time if your pet has any quirks or behavioral issues that would require additional time or care. I can also provide grooming services! I have 10 years of experience as a veterinary nurse where I have gained an abundance of knowledge in medical care and animal husbandry. I have rescued, bottle fed, and helped to place multiple pets in their forever homes. I would love to create a custom plan for your pup(s) as I understand the importance of making them comfortable and keeping them on a schedule that works for everyone, so please send me a brief message when you reach out to book giving me a general idea of what your needs are and a little info on your pup so I can get to know them. I typically respond very quickly and I look forward to hearing from you!! I am currently available any day during the week at most times of the day, however I do have an elementary school aged child that will require me to pick her up in the afternoons unless I have arranged ahead of time for alternate childcare, which is why I ask for at least a day's notice for booking, but I can usually work in same day pets as well. Having a new person entering the home can be stressful to some pets, so I always make sure to have treats and a calm demeanor when meeting new friends. I am confident in my ability to read body language and help your pet feel the most comfortable when in my care. **Boarding** (Currently very small scale as we are still setting up our boarding area) I understand that every fur baby is different and I want to insure all of the pups are as relaxed as possible. I keep our pups separated from new friends until I know for sure your pup and ours are comfortable enough for interaction. I have a fully fenced yard with a doggy door so they can come and go as they please, as long as the weather is nice. **House-sitting** I am only available on the weekends due to having a child I must get to school during the week, but I am available on the weekends when someone else can be home with her. I will happily stay at your house and take care of your pets and your home. You won't even be able to tell I was there!
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"
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’v taken care of dogs since I was old enough to be responsible for them, around age 12. I was in charge of feeding our family dogs, walking them, and exercising them through intentional playtime. We had 3 dogs then, and now we own two. I enjoy going on long walks and hikes, and often take my dogs on hikes. I also enjoy a casual run, and I am happy to take dogs on runs as well!

As a responsible student, with several years of families trusting me with babysitting, I can give you confidence that your home and pet will be cared for as if they were my own.
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: My momma had me cleaning up after pets of all kinds as soon as I could walk. She had a farm, and she worked at the Local Humane Society. And with no regrets, took me with her to work such jobs. So here I am Looking to Help YOU. I am currently a single mom looking for a way to make money for my family, that also works around the kid’s school schedule. So I hope you will let me work for YOU. I am more than willing, and capable of making the necessary trips to your home to care for your fur babies in the place they feel the most comfortable.
About: Hi, I'm Marissa! I'm one of those people who, before I came out of my shell, spent more time with animals than people. Sometimes I still do. I've had dogs and cats all my life, and also rode horses starting just before I was 4. I have 7 years of experience on Rover and another 2 independently dog walking and sitting before that. I’ve cared for many kinds of dogs and cats, fish, turtles, donkeys, a family of racoons, and more. And I have a lot of experience caring for older animals and animals with medical conditions. I also used to volunteer with my mom transporting rescue dogs with Echo Dog White German Shepherd rescue. I am a homebody for the most part, so once I'm there I'm probably not going anywhere. My capital W Work is writing - I'm 13 years into an elven magic realism epic screenplay/novel series, it is my passion project and pet/housesitting gives me the time to tend to that vision, and fur babies to keep me company! Walking and playing with them keeps me active and in my beloved nature. It is a great joy to give people peace of mind while they travel, knowing their home and furbabies are in good hands. I know how stressful it can be - I was born in the Northeast and then moved to Nashville when I was 12 so my mom and I would drive up there to visit family, but we would often bring our dog and cats with us on that 13 hr ride because we didn’t have anyone we trusted to watch them. It’s a great time, unless it’s a family emergency. Now, I get to be that person for other people! My clients relaxing, knowing that they can have fun or do what needs doing and that their fur babies are taken care of at home - that is priceless and never gets old. If you have 3 or more pets, I'm happy to give a discount. I know how hard it can be trying to find care for them when you have many. Feel free to reach out! Pets are family. I will make sure they receive the best care possible! I'm a night owl myself when I'm home but whatever their routine is, I will stick to that as much as I can. For dogs, walks are included in housesitting if you want that. And any plant and garden care etc. Totally depends on your and your pet's needs. I'm so excited to look after your fur baby!
About: I have always had a deep passion for animals, which began in childhood when I was thrilled to be old enough to walk my grandparents’ dogs. For the past four years, I’ve also had the joy of being a cat mom, which has further strengthened my appreciation for the love and care that pets bring into our lives. I understand how important it is to ensure pets feel safe, cared for, and engaged while in my care. In addition to my personal experience, I have over two years of professional pet care experience, including dog walking, drop-in visits, and administering specific care and medical instructions. I am comfortable working with both low-energy and high-energy dogs, and I always tailor my care to meet each pet’s unique needs. Pet care fits seamlessly into my schedule, as I am off work at 2 p.m. each day and have the remainder of my day available to dedicate to walking or caring for your pet. In addition, I have 3 full days off each week, allowing me to give your pet plenty of attention, exercise, and playtime! Your pet’s safety and well-being are always my top priorities. Just as I do with my own pet, I carefully monitor the environment to ensure there are no potential hazards, such as unsafe objects, foods, or items that could cause harm. My goal is to provide a secure, comfortable, and caring environment so you can have complete peace of mind while you’re away. I truly enjoy getting to know each animal's unique personality. Whether we’re playing, building trust, or simply sharing space, I find every interaction rewarding!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to care for their pets. I also have a pup of my own. I’m currently home for the summer from college, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pets! I am available for boarding, walking, or just playing with your pups during the week and most weekends! I have a huge back yard and a dog friendly pup of own to keep your fur baby’s company. I allow pets in the home and I also love to take my dog to the dog park!
About: I've taken care of dogs of most breeds since I was very young, I'm now 21 and own 4 of my own large breed dogs. Family and friends have depended on me for walking, feeding, exercising, and loving their pups as if they were my very own! I am currently unemployed due to my job closing down because of covid 19 so my availability is very free and I am able to accommodate all of your and your fur babies needs based on whenever you need me :) I have a half an acre fenced off for my 4 dogs at home, they are all very friendly and they love other dogs too
About: I currently work full time but from the comfort of my own home. I always stress about finding a reliable sitter when I am away and thought why not help relieve that stress for other pet parents. I worked at a boarding facility as an operational manager for 2 years and have experience with all types of pups, including providing medications, special diets, etc. I also have two pups of my own and one has liver complications and the other one has entered old age, so fully understand the importance of care. They are my world. I value creating an environment that suites all fur babies. If yours needs a space of their own, I can make that happen in my home. I have tons of space and am happy to make sure your fur babies are comfortable. I have two dedicated adult bedrooms I use for boarding. Pets well have a warm bed and area that is all theirs. Of course they well have full access to the entire house but I all pups need their own space. I have a fenced yard with a tall privacy fence so potty breaks are secure and will be fully supervised. I want all pups comfortable. I can offer walks throughout the day for additional charge. My time is very flexible. I create my own schedule at my job so I can make anything happen with proper notice. I’m open to help whenever and wherever. I have two friendly pups who love other dogs. I have been trained in dog behavior and feel confident to know when a dog needs a break, uncomfortable, etc.. I’m quick to react and pay attention at all times.

“Victoria was an excellent dog sitter for me while on vacation to Jamaica. By dog stayed with her for 9 days and I was sent pictures of her playing and relaxing at least once per day. Her lot is huge and gives dogs enough space to run around and play. My dog has been exhausted for the last 2 days from all the fun she had. 10 out of 10 would recommend.”
“Christy was incredible with my two pups. One is older and the other a husky that is such a diva at times. Only my roommate had really kept them so I was incredibly nervous about them staying with someone else. Christy did great with Kai the husky and had no problem at all. She immediately sent me updates after I left showing me they had settled down and were doing well. She continued sending me updates each morning and evening, and when I picked them up they looked great and were so happy. Christy is amazing and what she does and you can tell she is an animal lover. When I need to leave town again I will definitely want to reuse her services. Thank you so much Christy!”
“Bailie was so sweet and took such good care of our dog! She was a great communicator throughout his stay with her and sent regular picture updates, which we really appreciated! We would ask her to care for our pup again in a heartbeat!”
“Angie was wonderful with Frankie. She loves dogs and took great care of our dog. She was very responsive and had excellent communication. I would definitely recommend her.”
“Juniper had such a great time with Lisa. Her property is beautiful and spacious and so peaceful. You can tell that everyone is well loved and cared for. When I arrived to pick up Juniper she was running around and playing with all of the other dogs. Highly recommend!!”
“This was our first experience using a third-party app like Rover my wife and I were constantly putting our animal in kennel stays as we went out of town. When I got recommended the app, I was a bit skeptical, but after meeting Chris and seeing his interaction with Mattis, I was comfortable and knowing that he’d be left in some good hands. As we went on vacation out of the country Chris kept us informed with scheduled messages and rapid communication anytime I reached out. He gave me and my wife a piece of mind with pictures letting us know our pup and (despite being close to 70 lbs) was safe and having fun.. thanks for taking care of our fur baby Chris. Cheers!”
“So grateful to have Alexis and her family to board our dog, Bear. They are reliable, keep us well updated, and are so good with our Bear. Will definitely continue using their services!”
“Brian and Tara were fantastic! They were incredibly responsive to messages and flexible to accommodate our travel details and a meet & greet. They have an excellent set-up, and our dog was in great hands. We particularly appreciated the frequent updates, pictures, and videos! We will definitely use them again!”
“We had a 10/10 Rover experience with Marissa! She was super easy to coordinate with and we could tell that she took the best care of Eddie. He was so sleepy when we brought him home from playing with her pup all weekend! We will definitely be calling her again.”
