“Allison agreed on short notice to watch my cats this past week and did a super job. She did exactly what I asked her to and I am very pleased. I would hire her again anytime or recommend her to anyone.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for a long time and understand their needs. I’ve helped rescue many dogs over the years. I have experience helping anxious dogs feel comfortable. I love to take walks and I think dogs make walks even more enjoyable! I understand their basic needs but also understand them on a deeper level if they were to need special attention. I cannot currently care for animals in my home but I am happy to care for them in their home. I am comfortable with whatever level of care your pet requires.
About: What sets me apart is how much I genuinely care about animals. I enjoy spending time with them and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I treat every pet like my own and always try to give them the attention and care they deserve. Additionally, I have a prosthetic leg, which has made me more adaptable, patient, and attentive in everything I do. It’s taught me how to approach situations with care and awareness qualities that carry over into how I care for animals every day. I’m a Tennessee Tech student, and since I don’t have classes in the afternoons, I have a lot of availability to care for pets. I’m dependable, patient, and I like making sure pets stay active, comfortable, and on their normal routine while their owner is away. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I make sure they stay on their normal routine with feeding, fresh water, walks or bathroom breaks, and time to play. I also spend time with them so they feel comfortable and not alone while their owner is away.
About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and patience I have for dogs of all ages. I’m experienced with energetic puppies who are still learning the ropes, as well as senior dogs who need a slower pace and extra TLC. I will keep your routines consistent, making sure your dog feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I pay close attention to each dog’s personality and needs, whether that means extra playtime, calm companionship, or gentle care. You’ll always get updates, and you can relax knowing your dog is treated like family! Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I work part-time, and my schedule changes day to day, but it’s very flexible. That flexibility allows me to plan my day around pet care and give dogs the time and attention they need, whether that’s walks, playtime, feedings, or check-ins. I’m able to adjust my schedule to match each dog’s routine and make sure they’re never rushed or overlooked. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I stick closely to their normal routine. Each visit includes feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of attention. I follow all care instructions carefully and always send updates so you know your dog is happy and well cared for.

About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life. My husband and I currently have two loving pups (A Cairn terrier and Blue Heeler mix), who love to socialize . I have dog sitted all types of breeds for my friends and family over the years. I work a full time job Monday to Friday, and I have open availability on most weekends. During the week, I am free in the mornings until 7:30 and in the afternoons I am available after 5:00 We have a fenced in yard that we keep well maintained. I provide dog walking, petcare visitation, and overnight boarding. I have experience with high needs dogs and treat all dogs as if they were my own.

However, I prioritize the needs of my dog and would also prioritize your pups needs. Meeting new animals and loving on them while their families are away is my favorite part of the day! Anyone that knows me knows how I spoil my dog. I truly love animals so much. I will never miss an opportunity to help out with my roommates dog or any other pup I encounter!
About: I can not remember a time in my life where I have not had a pet. I have had a wide range of fur babies, from cats and dogs, to chinchillas and horses. I currently am a proud dad to three rescue babies who are my whole world. Being a dog and cat dad to three wonderful babies, my time is usually spent temding to their needs. I am a daily visitor to the dog parks in our area and am always looking for new friends for my babies. I cannot care for anymore animals in my apartment but would love to visit your babies at their home where I am sure they would be more comfortable. With your permission i wouldnt mind bringing them to the park or on hikes.
About: I have had a love for animals ever since I can remember! Throughout high school I worked for a well known vet clinic learning the ins and outs. After high school I began working in pet boarding facilities where I learned how to administer medicine to dogs and cats, stick to multiple feeding schedules, learn about multiple pet behaviors and much more. Pets bring me so much happiness in this world and I love nothing more than to be around them. I am currently self employed and a part time online college student. This allows me to have an open schedule and plenty of free time to love on your fur babies! ***IMPORTANT*** HOUSE SITTING: I do not stay in homes overnight. House sitting consists of multiple trips to your home. Typically every 4 hours with around an hour to an hour and a half of play time, cuddles and walks within the drop in visits. I do not like to stay gone for too long however the need for every 4 hours is due to the needs of my other business and fur baby. We can always discuss needs further to make sure I can meet your expectations. I am still pretty flexible! If your pet requires a full day of consistent care there will be an additional charge. The first two hours of the stay would be covered under my base rate and thereafter would be an additional charge which can be discussed. This can be discussed after knowing the needs and what your expectations would be. I try to be as accommodating as possible. :) House sitting visits will include plenty of attention, walks, play time, feedings, watering plants if needed, bringing in mail and other small things similar. DROP IN VISITS: This is typically the need for just one visit a day such as if you're gone from home for a long work day or if you have cats that just need checked on once a day. If multiple visits are needed, it may be best to choose the house sitting option. A drop in visit will include walks, play time, treats and feedings if needed I treat everybody's pet as if they were my own. I will always create a clean and safe space for them. I believe that for most of us, our fur babies are more like our children. So providing the best possible care is important for me.

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!

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Cookeville stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
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.
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 .

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.
To find sitters in Cookeville with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
