About: I have been privileged to take care of multiple species throughout my life! I am able to take excellent care and to be a friend! My current availability is wide open. I am looking for a part-time job as well, but would like to keep pet care as a top priority. I currently do not have a proper fenced in area and would prefer not to have larger breeds until then. I am able to house smaller breeds as long as they are comfortable with two younger dogs. I am fully comfortable with at home visits/house sitting.

About: I have always been surrounded by dogs since birth. Whether it was in my own home or the home of friends and family I have always loved and cared for all kinds of pets. from dogs to snakes to parrots, I have a special love for all kinds of animals and am quick to show my love to any I pass. I am outgoing and love to be outdoors so I love energetic pets who like to run and be in God's nature. I am a project manager in Baxter, TN and also an online MBA student at TN Tech. Although I work full time, I am able to take long breaks and my wife is a great partner who can help take care of them as well! I also have free weekends and would love to enjoy them with furry friends! I have a great outdoor space beside my apartment that is perfect for a dog’s energy. I also would gladly go to dog parks or keep them leashed on a walk if they are untrained for open spaces. I have a lovely wife who loved dogs, and neighborhood friends who have dogs of their own if they would like to be social. If they need to be crated that is also perfectly fine!

Wendy was amazing with our 3 kiddos! She was able to step in for a last minute booking and “saved the day!” She sent pics of our kiddos and kept us updated on who ate all of their food, who went out to potty and who was being a bit finicky each night We would recommend her to anyone who uses the app!!! 10/10

Lydia was great with our three senior dogs and our four cats. The dogs have a variety of supplements they receive and Lydia had no troubles administering those with meals. I could tell the dogs were comfortable and relaxed every time Lydia stopped by the house. She did a great job of sending us pictures and updates, so we never had to worry our babies!

About: I have four years of professional pet care experience working with a wide variety of animals, including high-energy breeds that need plenty of exercise and older dogs requiring gentle attention. Whether you are away on vacation or just need a daily check-in, I offer reliable house visits for both dogs and cats. I customize my care to match your pet's unique routine, energy levels, and medication needs so you can travel with total peace of mind. I am a Master's student at Tennessee Tech with a highly flexible routine that easily accommodates consistent pet care. Because I manage my own study and research hours, I have plenty of time during the day for midday dog walking, drop-in neighborhood check-ins, and flexible house visits. My weeks are highly adaptable, and my weekends are entirely open for dedicated boarding or overnight sitting. I focus on building trustworthy personal relationships with owners while providing an active, safe environment for their pets. I run regularly and have the energy to perfectly match high-energy breeds, but I am equally experienced and gentle with older dogs and cats who need calm, attentive house visits. Whether caring for a pet in my own home—which includes a safe, covered porch—or looking after them in yours while you are on vacation, I strictly follow your rules for crating, feeding, and routine to keep your best friend safe and comfortable.

About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my genuine love for animals and the care I put into making them feel safe, comfortable, and happy. I grew up in a home where we always had both dogs and cats, so caring for pets has been a natural part of my life for as long as I can remember. As an adult, I became interested in positive reinforcement training and have followed Zack George’s training methods with my own dog. I value building trust, encouraging good behavior through patience and consistency, and creating a calm, positive environment. My goal is to be as much of a companion for pets as they are for us. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, quiet cuddles, or simply having someone nearby to make them feel safe and relaxed, I will treat them with patience, kindness, and respect. I understand that every animal has a unique personality, and I take the time to learn their routines and preferences so they feel comfortable while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I currently work in education, which allows me to be available before school, during my lunch break, and after school to check in on pets, take them for walks, feed them, or spend time with them. On weekends, I enjoy having more flexibility to dedicate extra time to getting to know each pet, keeping them company, and making sure they feel comfortable and well cared for. I strive to provide consistent, reliable care while giving each pet the attention they deserve. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible for your pet. Being away from their owner can already create some anxiety, so I believe it’s important to keep them in the comfort of their familiar environment whenever possible. Before you leave, I take the time to learn your pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any special preferences. I work closely with each owner to maintain as much consistency as possible, helping pets feel safe, secure, and comfortable while you’re away. I also provide plenty of companionship, attention, and updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is being well cared for.

About: I have two dogs of my own and I promise to treat them like one of my own! For dogs, I can walk them, feed them, bathe them, and play with them! I’m a junior at Tennessee Tech University studying at the nursing school there! Even though my major relates to humans, I’ve always been dedicated to taking care of animals if they needed it. I have a dog of my own that I’ve done plenty of research for in order to take proper care of him! I’ve also had two more dogs and seven cats of my own back in my hometown! Safety is my biggest priority. In my client’s home, I will utilize every safety resource that is offered: fences, leashes, crates, and more. I will always make sure your fur baby is taken care of!

Emma did awesome with strawberry and kept me up to date with everything and was responsive on any questions and concerns I had. She did things like opening my balcony for my cat strawberry to get some outdoor time and relax for the little time she was with her and I believe it helped considerably. I never used this app or service before but I know anytime I have future trips I will be booking with Emma, she was great and gave me ease of mind while focusing on visiting family.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Cookeville on Rover is $16.65 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 82 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Cookeville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.

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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

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

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% 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.

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.
