“Alexis was prompt and attentive during her visits. Her communication with us is great and she has gone above and beyond to take care of Ranger. She knows how to handle dogs and has done really well with ours! We will definitely request her again.”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was about 10. In the past couple of years I have cared for my grandmothers rescue dog while she works. I have experience with reactive dogs and training puppies. I am a full time college students so my schedule is a bit tight but I still have time to walk or house sit your pet. I have unfenced back and front yard and a small fenced in area in my backyard. I have a pet friendly dog who is crate trained and well behaved. I have experience leash and crate training. I have a small crate and a large crate in my house.
“Wendy was beyond amazing. She was super available last minute to help me with my plans, and even came by before so my reactive dog could meet her and I could show her things. She sent me great updates and photos about what they were doing, like a very cute one of my dog sniffing flowers! I could not recommend her more highly.”
About: I’ve grown up around multiple animals, having dogs and cats and other exotic animals. I also used to watch neighbor’s pets if they needed me to. Pet care fits into my daily routine because I am a college student who is always on the move and looking for new adventures to go on! I do not offer pet sitting in my own home due to living in an apartment with roommates, but depending on your living situation I always make it fun for the animal wether that’s playing outside or going on a walk.
About: I have two dogs of my own and I promise to treat them like one of my own! For dogs, I can walk them, feed them, bathe them, and play with them! I’m a junior at Tennessee Tech University studying at the nursing school there! Even though my major relates to humans, I’ve always been dedicated to taking care of animals if they needed it. I have a dog of my own that I’ve done plenty of research for in order to take proper care of him! I’ve also had two more dogs and seven cats of my own back in my hometown! Safety is my biggest priority. In my client’s home, I will utilize every safety resource that is offered: fences, leashes, crates, and more. I will always make sure your fur baby is taken care of!

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.
“She took my dog for a nice walk around and played with her, left everything how it should be, and got along great with my dog and let her get some energy out! I’ll definitely be a repeat customer!”
“Austin was a life saver for us and our new adopted pup. Austin is responsive, professional, and really good with our dog. He gives him treats and belly rubs after his walk, uploads pictures, and even offered to work with him on some commands we’ve been working with him on. Highly recommend Austin.”
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was a 8 years old. I specialize in senior dog care and special needs care. I love all animals. I'm at home full - time. I'm available 24/7 to take care of your pet and love on them as if they were my own. I would take your dog out on a leash everytime for potty breaks. My dog, Chico, uses a tie out chain, but that's his routine and only used for him. I would personally take your pet on a leash and never let them out of my sight. If your pet needed to be in a crate, I have a small size and medium size. I let animals on furniture for naps and cuddles and on the bed for any overnight stays.
About: I have worked with dogs for around 2 years now, from working with rescue dogs, having my own, and doing doggy daycare in the Nashville area I am a college student at TTU, My classes end early afternoon so I have my whole afternoons free, I do not have a job but I'm currently looking for a part-time serving job. I will not be able to care for dogs in my home because I am living in a college dorm at TTU but in I am able to stay overnight with pets in you're home
About: Ive taken care of many animals across the board including puppies, dogs, senior dogs, chicks/chickens, guinea pigs, hamsters, and cats. I have experience clipping and bathing dogs as well. Ive taken a couple animal science classes as well to further my animal knowledge. I love all animals and understand needs vary and I don't mind doing the “gross” stuff. Id take care any of my clients animals just as my own. Ive also had very successful attempts in training puppies! When I babysat for a family I had to also manage 4 dogs with cleaning, feeding, and potty breaks. I now take care of my own dog and work around my college schedule. This includes walks, feeding, and a potty break before, in-between, and after classes. I also have a family cat that I tend to and have given shots to. I have tons of leashes and portable bowls for anywhere your fur baby would need. I also have leash seat belt buckles. I can care for your animals anytime of night as well.
About: Growing up my family always had at least one dog. We had all different breeds, both large and small. So whatever breed your sweet pup is, I’m happy to watch them. Right now I’m working 8-4 and attending school three nights a week in Nashville. I have an hour lunch which allows me to go home everyday for potty breaks and play time at noon! My partner is also at the house most days after he gets home from work around 9am. Every dog we’ve watched absolutely adores him! I live in a duplex that has a decent sized front and side yard - so we can play fetch whenever we’re not able to make it to the dog park.
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.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Cookeville. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every walker 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 .

- 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% can help with daily exercise

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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.
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 walker.
