“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!”
“Wendy was amazing with our 3 kiddos! She was able to step in for a last minute booking and “saved the day!” She sent pics of our kiddos and kept us updated on who ate all of their food, who went out to potty and who was being a bit finicky each night We would recommend her to anyone who uses the app!!! 10/10”
“Hayley was a great drop in pet sitter for my kitty, Blackie. Her daily visits, pictures and info on how Blackie was doing each day made me feel that she wasn't missing us too much. The house and Blackie were great when we arrived home. The litter boxes were cleaned and any trash from feedings were taken care of. I would highly recommend Hayley as a wonderful pet sitter!”
“Brianna was amazing.. and always kept me informed. She dropped in on my 3 rambunctious cats and did extra duties like getting my mail and cleaning up where she didn't have to.. will definitely use her again if the need arises!”
“Sharon has been very reliable and great with my dog. She always sends pictures and keeps me updated, which I really appreciate. I feel comfortable knowing my pet is in good hands when she stops by. I would definitely book with her again.”
“Kaylee was a great choice! She went above and beyond what was required and we 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter. We have two dogs with big personalities and she managed them with no issues. We will be rebooking with her for future events!”
About: I provide personalized, attentive care for pets, ensuring their comfort and happiness. With reliability, experience, and a genuine love for animals, I treat them like family. I currently work part time with flexible hours, I’m in school but can leave school at noon or anytime needed. I am very good at scheduling my time as needed and am very flexible I provide loving and attentive care tailored to each pet’s needs, whether in my home or the client’s. In my home, I create a safe, clean, and stimulating environment with regular feeding, playtime, grooming, and plenty of affection. In clients’ homes, I maintain their pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, litter or yard care, walks, and medications if needed, ensuring the pet feels secure and comfortable while their owner is away. My focus is on trust, reliability, and treating every pet like family.
“She is absolutely fantastic I highly recommend her. She took extra special care of my cat. He likes to be put on the sink and brushed with a warm flea comb and she even did that for him. I will use her again for sure. She even did FaceTime with him on her visits so I could talk to him.”
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!
“Jenn went above and beyond to help us with our animals while we went away for a long weekend. She was quick to respond to any messages, and updated me regularly. I'm also thankful for the time she invested in walking around with me beforhand, to get familiar with the animals. She was great!”
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 grew up in a house where the dogs ran the show, so I’ve been living in their world my entire life. I’ve loved and lived with everything from massive, goofy Pitbulls who forgot how big they were, to spicy Miniature Schnauzers who thought they ruled the neighborhood (plus a whole bunch of chaotic, wonderful mutts who deserve all the trophies). I also have a massive soft spot for the "golden oldies" club. Having loved and cared for my own senior dogs, I know exactly what it takes to look after an aging pup. I’m totally comfortable with strict medication schedules, lifting them into the car, or just going at a snail's pace on a walk so they can sniff every single blade of grass. Whether your pup is a high-energy land shark who needs to burn off steam, or a sweet senior who just wants to snooze on my feet while I watch TV, they’ll be treated like absolute family. Because I primarily take online classes and have a minimal school schedule, my calendar is incredibly open! I have a ton of free time throughout the week and even more flexibility on the weekends, which means your pet will get plenty of attention, potty breaks, and companionship. The only time I am unavailable is for a few late-night classes three days a week. Other than those brief windows, I am completely free! Because my schedule is so open, I can easily adapt to your pet's specific routine. Whether they need a mid-day walk, morning medication, or just someone around to keep them company while you're away. When your pet is with me, their safety and comfort are my absolute top priorities. I treat every animal in my care exactly like a member of my own family, which means a secure environment, lots of supervision, and zero stress for you. My home is a pet-friendly, loving sanctuary. Because I have my own pets and have experience with fosters, my space is thoroughly pet-proofed (no loose cords, toxic plants, or easily reachable snacks!). Your pet will have plenty of room to lounge, explore, and find a cozy spot to nap. I am incredibly respectful of your space and will strictly follow whatever house rules you have in place. I make sure doors are locked, gates are secure, and routines are followed down to the letter. And I will NEVER assume anything about your pet!!
“Austin kept in contact with me im every visit with Coco. And took great pictures of her and of our birds. He swept the dog hair from the floor. He does a great job. We will definitely use his services again for Coco.”
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 been a dog groomer for over 4 years and take care of dogs of every kind, every single day, along with having 5 dogs of my own. I have also owned cats my entire childhood and into my adult years. I take care of my pets and others pets all day, every day, so it is just part of my every day life that will never be forgotten. I am well versed on being able to read dog’s body language and emotions, making it so I am able to tailor to every dogs needs individually.
About: I have had animals of my own from my teenage years all the way through my adulthood that i cared for fulltime. My main experience is with dogs specifically. I work from 8 to 5 CST. I work from home so I am able to be there for potty breaks, dog walks, feeding ect. My pet right now is 1 dog. She's around 2 years old so my care routine consists of feeding, bathing, playing, & preventative care such as regular visits to the vet.
About: I’ve had dogs and cats since I was three years old. I can tailor my approach to your pet’s needs and am comfortable with administering medication or taking care of any other health concerns! If you have any questions about myself or credentials please feel to ask! I am currently working part time and can be sure to provide your pet the care it deserves, no matter what that means for your particular loved one. I know of many parks I can take your dog to but if they are skittish I can play with them without other animals around if your dog is easily distressed. I have plenty of toys even including puzzle games for them.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Cookeville
I cannot recommend Jenn highly enough! She did daily drop-in visits for our dogs, Woody and Phoebe and was absolutely wonderful. She was incredibly kind, always communicative, and so flexible with our schedule. It gave me such peace of mind knowing they were in such great hands while we were away. We will definitely be booking her again!
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.
Tiphaney did an excellent job while we were away!!! We were so pleased with the care that did gave our two cats and we would recommend her to everyone who is looking to book a sitter. This was a repeat booking for us and we will definitely be calling on her again.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
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.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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 pet, 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.
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.
