“Ms Melanie was awesome. I could tell the second she saw Oliver that he was in good hands. Oliver had a great time and did not freak when I left because he felt at home too. Thanks Melanie, you'll see us again.”
“Excellent!! Kristen & Steven gave our little shitzu so much care and love. They sent pictures and touched base with us regularly. We were very nervous about leaving her anywhere and we now can go on trips since we found the best sitter’s in Cookeville . Already planning her next stay .she’s never been around dogs and their own dogs also were so gentle and kind tords her . I can’t say enough great things about the way they treated our pup !! We could not have had a better experience!! Thank you again Kristen and Steven . And Biscuit is missing you all .”
“Erica was a dream come true. Her and her family took in our three golden retrievers and treated them like they were her own. She communicated often, sent pictures of the dogs and asked very good questions to help them remain comfortable in her care. I honestly won the lotto in choosing her for our dog care when traveling. We had total peace of mind while we were away and it was 100% due to the loving care and true investment Erica and her loving made to our three dogs. Erica is our go to from now on!”
“It didn’t take 30 seconds of meeting Regina to know that Murphy was going to be in good hands. We loved the updates and pictures throughout his stay. I would 100% use Regina’s services again.”
“Izabella and her family were so good to our pom Sammy. He got a lot of attention and play time with her kids, which would have made him feel right at home, plus her own dogs were very sweet. They were very accommodating and gave us lots of updates. 10/10 for not having to worry about our sweet boy while we were on vacation.”
“I have never had to get a sitter for my dog before and was a little nervous at first but Bethany was so profession and asked many questions about Panda and ensured me she would take great care of her and send picture and video updates, which she did. Panda had so much fun during her stay. I will definitely use her again.”
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 15 years old. I looked after a lot of my family's pets while they were on vacation. And I washed my two dogs every single day. My dogs are like my kids. They're my whole world! First thing in the morning and last thing at night is taking care of them. I have a million toys on the ground at any given time and comfy furniture to sleep on. My dogs also get snack time twice a day.
“Jenn & Derek are good sitters and great people.They were able to watch my 2 cats when a family emergency came up within 2 days notice.My cats had their own room and were well cared for.Communication was great .They provided daily updates and tons of photos.I can not thank them enough for their kindness and great service.I would highly recommend them!”
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!
About: I’ve spent 25+ years caring for all kinds of pets—dogs, cats, and even reptiles. Living on 17 acres gives plenty of space for safe walks, playtime, and exploring. Whether your pup loves fetch, your cat just wants cuddles, or your reptile needs special attention, I’ve got it covered. I treat every pet like family and make sure they feel loved and cared for while you’re away. I work from home so I’m usually always around! With 3 kids here everyone pitches in so your pet will always have someone around to care for them! 17 acres for your pets to explore if they like being outdoors. A comfy home indoors for the less adventurous ones! Our house is clean and safe and welcoming to all sort of animals.
About: As a kitten foster and multi-pet household caregiver, I’m used to caring for animals with different needs, energy levels, and personalities. Whether it’s playful kittens, shy cats, or dogs that need structure and attention, I adjust my care to what each pet needs. I’m also comfortable administering medications and paying close attention to behavior and health. I take the time to really understand each animal and respond to what they need—whether that’s extra patience, playtime, routine, or a quieter approach. I take pride in being dependable and communicative. You’ll get consistent updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pets are in good hands. I offer: • Drop-ins, walks, and overnight stays • Care for multiple pets at once • Medication administration • Extra patience for shy or young animals • Close attention to routines and behavior I treat every pet like my own and focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible :) Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I work remotely. As long as I have my laptop, I’m able to provide consistent, attentive care throughout the day. I can care for your pet in my home or yours—whatever makes them most comfortable. If they prefer staying in their own space, I’m happy to bring my work with me and keep their routine consistent. This flexibility means your pet won’t be left alone for long stretches. They’ll have companionship, supervision, and a calm presence—whether that’s relaxing on my lap while I work or resting nearby. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. Whether in my home or yours, I provide a secure, calm environment with close supervision. At my home, pets have access to a large backyard that backs up to a farm and a quiet cul-de-sac street, giving plenty of space to explore safely. While my yard isn’t fenced, I take extra precautions to ensure pets remain secure at all times. I have a small Morkie who enjoys gentle play, and kittens in my care are always excited to meet new friends. Interacting with other animals not only enriches their social experience but also helps kittens become more confident and adoptable. When caring for pets in their own home, I follow your routines closely, provide attentive supervision, and make sure your pet feels comfortable and confident in their familiar surroundings.
“This is my first time using Rover, and I will never go back. Drew was absolutely amazing incredibly communicative, and I don’t think my dogs have ever felt so well taken care of. Highly recommend her I’d give 10 stars if I could!”
About: I have been grooming for 14 years and offer boarding. I offer one on one services for all pets. Contact for appointments to book for grooming or boarding. Groomong and boarding is what I do full time and I'm home almost all the time so your babies will always be looked after and have me around them watching over them. I have fenced in yard and have separate kennels for each Pet so everyone will be separated unless owners are ok with them interacting with my own personal dogs who are very friendly.
About: I’ve had pets as long as I can remember. I currently have 2 dogs and 4 cats, all rescues. I have also rescued numerous animals and nursed them back to health. I work from home, so you don’t have to worry about your pet getting lonely! I have experience with puppies, kittens, and senior pets. I am able to administer medication orally, topically, and via injection. I look forward to taking care of your pet(s) as if they were my own as you enjoy your vacation! I work from home and have plenty of time to drop in to feed your pet, administer any medication they may need, as well as play with them to work out their energy! I treat every pet like they’re my own when pet sitting. I can either stop in real quick if that’s what you and your pet are most comfortable with, or stay longer to keep them a bit of company.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Cookeville
If my Penny is the Poster girl for Rover then Mia and Caleb are the Poster Parents! I've never left my dog with anyone but family members or someone she knew closely. I had an urgent housing need for my dog when I came to a graduation at Tennessee Tech, and my original plans had changed quickly. Mia and Caleb are rock stars! A five-star review does not seem good enough. I scoured six reviews to land on them. Location and their reviews had everything to do with it. They made Penny fill right at home, I could tell from the pictures. They even let her sleep in their bed!! She took to them instantly. She has separation anxiety, so I was really worried. But they said she only barked for a couple minutes and settled in just fine. They made a place for on the back of their couch so she could look out the window for me. That makes her happy. I gave them instructions and they followed them to the T. I can't thank the two of them enough. They are amazing. Thank you Mia and Caleb for making my night so much easier and worrisome free! YOU BOTH ROCK!!!
I can’t thank Jessalyn enough! My dog tends to be shy, but he was comfortable with her upon the first meeting! She gave my baby so much love and attention, and made sure he got his daily walks in. It was such a relief knowing he was in great hands while I was gone. The photo updates were adorable, and I could tell he felt right at home! I will definitely be booking with her again in the future.

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Cookeville home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Cookeville.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Cookeville sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in TN ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
