About: Dogs have been part of my daily life since 2018, especially with my English Bulldog- Gnocchi who passed away last year. I current have a new bulldog puppy- 7 months old- Banjo. I’ve also helped friends by caring for their dogs—walks, feeding, and keeping them company. I truly enjoy spending time with dogs and treat every one as if they were my own. I’m especially attentive to breeds like bulldogs and understand their need for shorter, safe walks—especially in warm weather. I have open availability during weekdays, which allows me to dedicate quality time to each dog. I’m happy to provide walks, playtime, and even work on basic commands and fun tricks. Your pet’s safety and well-being are always my top priority. I carefully follow their routine, feeding schedule, and any special needs. I keep spaces clean and secure, supervise closely, and make sure every walk is safe. In your home, I offer a calm, loving environment and keep you updated so you always feel at ease.

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: Homemade food topper included in stay, booking with me helps me continue to rescue/foster animals! (Treat after each meal & at bedtime) I had 2 households of animals up until I was 16, then continued to raise animals my whole life. I foster for rescues & shelters, I also rescue animals on my own accord, so I’m extremely experienced with animals that need extra care & that have behavioral issues. My dog passed away from cancer, so I also have experience in elderly dogs that require more attention. I cook my own dogfood topper at home even! I have been working from home the last 3 years, so my animals have me home 24/7. They are let out every 1-4 hours, depending if it’s a gym day or grocery day. My pets never go more than 4 hours w/out going outside. I have a fully fenced yard & 2 VERY friendly dogs that would keep your baby company & happy. I also have a small dog whom acts like an old lady. All my cats are dog trained as well, I have a 2 story house, so if need be, cats can be separated!

I’m dependable, patient, and I like making sure pets stay active, comfortable, and on their normal routine while their owner is away.

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.
