About: Caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. I have hands-on experience providing dependable, compassionate care for dogs, cats, and exotics of all ages, temperaments, and needs—including seniors and pets that require extra patience, routine, or medication support. I understand that every pet is unique, and I take the time to learn their personalities, preferences, and comfort cues so they feel safe and relaxed in my care. I’ve provided in-home pet sitting, feeding, walking, playtime, potty clean-up, and companionship, along with light home care and housekeeping while pet parents are away. I’m attentive to details, respectful of routines, and proactive about communication—because I know how important peace of mind is when you’re trusting someone with a beloved pet. Above all, I truly love animals. I’m calm, nurturing, and observant, which helps pets warm up quickly and feel at ease. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or quiet and cautious, I meet them where they are and care for them as if they were my own. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priorities. 🐶🐱💙 Since I don’t work a traditional 8–5 schedule, pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine, allowing me to be flexible and attentive to pets’ needs. I plan my schedule around pet visits to ensure consistency, reliability, and unrushed care. I’m able to accommodate morning, midday, and evening visits, depending on your pet’s needs and established routine. I value structure and communication, so I arrive on time, follow instructions carefully, and keep pet parents updated with photos and notes. Whether your pet needs regular check-ins, companionship while you’re away, or extra attention during certain times of day, I’m intentional about making pet care a priority—not an afterthought. My goal is to provide dependable, stress-free care that fits seamlessly into your pet’s normal routine. 🐾 Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. I care for pets in their own home whenever possible, because familiar environments help reduce stress and keep pets feeling secure. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, routines, and household preferences. I’m attentive, observant, and respectful of both pets and property. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure, food and water areas are clean, and litter boxes or outdoor spaces are properly maintained. I monitor pets for changes in behavior, appetite, or energy and communicate promptly if anything seems out of the ordinary. I practice calm, gentle handling and never force interactions—especially with shy, anxious, or senior pets. Trust is built through patience and consistency. I also provide updates with photos and notes so pet parents feel confident and connected while they’re away. Whether I’m caring for pets in your home or during short visits, my goal is to create a safe, peaceful environment where your pet feels comfortable, respected, and well cared for. 🐾💙

Mariah is truly incredible! My dogs absolutely adore her and get so excited for her visits. We use her every week, and she’s been so flexible and accommodating—even with last-minute schedule changes. It gives me such peace of mind knowing they’re in such loving and reliable hands. I’m beyond grateful for Mariah and couldn’t imagine a better pet sitter to trust with my pups!
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!

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Cookeville 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!
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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

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.
