About: I have practically always had animals be apart of my life. I grew up with a stray cat who would become my own cat at a young age. And I would often take care of my grandmothers dog named Socks in both their old age. I once rescued a baby bird and even a baby deer more recently. I’ve looked after pets of family and friends and friends of family and friends. I currently own a cat named Chance, and my job for about 3 years is a dog daycare and board which also provides grooming services such as baths, nail trims, etc. I hold a huge spot in my heart for animals and I foresee myself always doing something with them. I work part time, so I typically have a lot of free time to explore other ventures. And with me also having the full weekend to myself, it would be great to spend that time taking care of pets. At the moment, I live with my parents and pet sitting there couldn’t happen given my mom is afraid of dogs, but if I were pet sitting in a clients home, I would be more than respectful and appreciative of the trust.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Cookeville
I was stressed and worried losing my normal dog sitter that my girls loved, but I can’t believe I found another perfect one through Rover. Haley was absolutely wonderful caring and loving on my girls. She went above and beyond what I expected. And the look on the girls faces with the pics she sent us, showed how much they loved and adored her. She will be our new forever dog sitter.
I honestly cannot say enough good things about Mia! I booked her for two drop-ins while I was in Nashville, and from the very beginning, I felt like my dogs were in the best hands. She asked thoughtful questions, actually took the time to get to know them and their routines, and kept me feeling completely comfortable while I was away. When I got home, my dogs were safe, happy, and clearly well cared for — and that is absolutely priceless when you’re trusting someone with your fur babies ❤️ She was attentive, communicative, reliable, and genuinely seemed to care about our dogs rather than just checking visits off her schedule. You can tell when someone is truly an animal person, and she absolutely is! 🥹 As a dog parent, finding someone you can trust enough to leave your pets with is super important. I would recommend her without hesitation and will be requesting her again. If you’re scrolling through Rover trying to figure out who you can trust with your fur babies… this is your sign to book her! Thank you so much, Mia, for taking such wonderful care of Tundra & Mila. You gave me peace of mind while I was away, and that means more than you know 😊
Lydia Kate took such great care of our two dogs. She provided us with details and good photos of the dogs from each of her visits with them and we could tell from the photos she sent that the dogs really liked her and they had fun hanging out and playing with her. She was also respectful of our house and instructions we left for her and very responsive. We’d definitely have her back if needed in the future!
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!

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
