“She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about Indie. I really appreciated the updates and photos while I was away. Indie looked happy and well taken care of. Highly recommend and would absolutely book with her again!”
“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!”
“Hayley was such a huge help in checking on our dogs and cats! She sent daily pictures of all of them and was communicative of anything going on with them! As first time users of pet-sitters my husband and I were nervous but after meeting Hayley a lot of our concerns were forgotten. We'll definitely be asking for her help again in the future!”
About: I have four years of professional pet care experience working with a wide variety of animals, including high-energy breeds that need plenty of exercise and older dogs requiring gentle attention. Whether you are away on vacation or just need a daily check-in, I offer reliable house visits for both dogs and cats. I customize my care to match your pet's unique routine, energy levels, and medication needs so you can travel with total peace of mind. I am a Master's student at Tennessee Tech with a highly flexible routine that easily accommodates consistent pet care. Because I manage my own study and research hours, I have plenty of time during the day for midday dog walking, drop-in neighborhood check-ins, and flexible house visits. My weeks are highly adaptable, and my weekends are entirely open for dedicated boarding or overnight sitting. I focus on building trustworthy personal relationships with owners while providing an active, safe environment for their pets. I run regularly and have the energy to perfectly match high-energy breeds, but I am equally experienced and gentle with older dogs and cats who need calm, attentive house visits. Whether caring for a pet in my own home—which includes a safe, covered porch—or looking after them in yours while you are on vacation, I strictly follow your rules for crating, feeding, and routine to keep your best friend safe and comfortable.

About: I grew up with 2 cats and 3 dogs and loved and cared for them for years. I am a huge animal lover as well and would love to help someone out in any way possible!! I’m working part time and am interested in making some extra money on the side plus I love animals so it’ll be a win-win! I have a decently sized home and a very safe neighborhood to walk any dogs I have to care for! I will frequently walk them and will make sure all their needs are always met!
About: My entire life I have been raised around large breed dogs, cats, and fish. I am also familiar with reptile, monkey, equestrian, farm animal, and small mammal care. Such as cleaning pens, feedings, cleaning tanks, ear canal cleanings, nail trimming, bathing, and deshedding! The personal pets you see listed on my profile are 100% accurate as well, most people find it shocking but I’ve always been raised around an entire pack of animals and they are all in the best health with the most love we could possibly surround them with! I am completely available to watch your animals! I am hoping to make this a full time job, so please book me for your long trips, and daily walks! I can ensure that I will leave your house cleaner than when I arrived. My parents run 5 AirBnB cabins, and I am the housekeeper for the guests to ensure sanitary sheets, towels, and plates/dishes are provided. As well as a well kept, and clean living environment while they enjoy our stay with us! I was previously a school custodian for South Warren Middle School in Bowling Green, KY, so cleaning was a daily job for me and I thoroughly enjoy it. Now I hope to love on animals and make sure that THEY stay in a sanitary and clean environment.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Cookeville
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!
Emma did awesome with strawberry and kept me up to date with everything and was responsive on any questions and concerns I had. She did things like opening my balcony for my cat strawberry to get some outdoor time and relax for the little time she was with her and I believe it helped considerably. I never used this app or service before but I know anytime I have future trips I will be booking with Emma, she was great and gave me ease of mind while focusing on visiting family.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Cookeville is $17 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $24 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 142 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Cookeville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
