“This was my first time using a pet sitter and I couldn’t have had a better experience! Kayla was reliable, caring, and kept me updated every day with pictures of my pets, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. It was clear my pets were well cared for and happy! I definitely would trust her to watch my pets again. Highly recommend!”
“Sara did a wonderful job with watching our pups while we were gone. They were calm and not anxious when we returned. They were well loved. The house looked great when we returned too! We highly recommend Sara!”
“5-Star Review for Hannah Hannah did an absolutely fantastic job babysitting my three dogs—Cooper, Cameron, and Anita! She was especially great with Anita, who has tons of energy and needs constant engagement. Hannah kept her entertained and active, which is no small feat! I came home to three happy, healthy dogs and a well-cared-for house, which gave me such peace of mind while I was away. I also really appreciated that Hannah stayed for the full agreed-upon time, even with our extended travel delays late into the evening. It’s clear she is responsible, reliable, and truly cares about the pets she watches. I’ll definitely be using Hannah’s services again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive pet sitter!”
“Alena is a blessing. She watched our pups for a long weekend. She knew exactly how to interact with our nervous pup to put her at ease and gave her enough reassurance that Arya settled quickly. We felt a 100% comfortable leaving 2 furry personalities in Alena's care! Can't wait to book her again!”
“Keira was great with our old pup Toby while we were out of town. She was knowledgeable about care and Toby was in great hands. She gave updates and photos throughout the stay.”
“Addie took wonderful care of our two cavapoos, as well as our house (and even my many plants) for the 9 days we were away! She sent us frequent updates and pictures, and we came home to 2 very happy dogs! She even stripped the bed and washed the sheets (which was so nice of her)! We hope Addie will come back and watch our dogs again soon!”
“Sabrina is the absolute best!!!! I feel so blessed that we found her. She’s such a kind person with the sweetest energy. The animals flock to her!! She’s the only person we’ll be using from now on.”
“We had a wonderful, stress-free experience with Samantha during her week-long stay in our home. She took great care of our dog and he was completely himself when we returned. Our home was also well cared for and very clean when we returned. She kept us updated regularly with photos and messages, and we had peace of mind while traveling. Samantha is reliable, trustworthy, friendly, and professional. We would absolutely book her again!”
“Sarah took our booking the week of and still made time to come do a meet and greet with us beforehand! She was very polite and took great care of our pets and home. I’m very pleased and would absolutely book her again.”
“Samantha was fantastic! She did everything that was asked of her and the pups and cats were happy when they were with her. Our home was taken care of when we were gone and we can’t wait to use her again!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ James was absolutely amazing with Meiko! From the beginning, he was incredibly attentive and communicative, which gave me so much peace of mind knowing she was in good hands. He kept me updated, was very responsive, and most importantly, Meiko absolutely loved him! He was also extremely respectful of my home and just genuinely so friendly and easy to work with. I really appreciated the care and attention he gave Meiko while I was away. It’s such a relief finding someone you can trust with both your pet and your home. I will absolutely be booking with James again and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, communicative, and caring sitter. Thank you so much, James! 🐾💕”
“Felicia was great! Sent me lots of pics, left my home spotless, and my pups were happy when I got back. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Will definitely use her again!”
About: I have been around dogs almost my whole life and enjoy taking care of them! I got my dog when I was around 15 and she is genuinely the best part of my life! I know how difficult it is to find someone you trust enough to take care of your dog and will make sure that I can be that person for others. I’ve dog sat for people throughout the years and it is such an amazing experience to spend time with the dogs. I am currently searching for a full time job after recently finishing university so my availability to take care of your furry loved ones is pretty open. Growing up my mom has always been employed as a house cleaner and would take me with her to help, from a young age I’ve always known how to respect people’s homes even when they are not present. Ensuring that people are comfortable enough to trust me with their pet in their home is my utmost priority.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs of all sizes, including my two cats and my 80 lb English yellow lab. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I genuinely love getting to know each pet’s unique personality, needs, and routines. I’m patient, attentive, and dependable, and I like to think I have a special connection with animals and an instinct for understanding what makes them feel comfortable, safe, and happy. Whether your pet loves playtime, long walks, cuddles, or simply calm companionship, I’ll make sure they feel cared for and loved while you’re away. I’m available for dog walks and drop-in visits for cats and dogs, and I treat every pet like family! Lastly, I am also comfortable giving pets medications as my dog Gigi has allergies and takes some medication and supplements. Also I have had to give medicines for multiple cats over the years including inhaler treatments. Currently my elderly cat Mrs. Norris is 17 and living with cancer. She is taking a few medicines to keep her comfortable before it’s time. We have lots of snuggles on her heated blanket, look out the window and bask in the sun. I understand the extra care and love your older animal needs. I look forward to getting know your fur babies!! You could say: Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I am currently home while my children are out of school. I genuinely enjoy caring for animals and have the time and flexibility to provide consistent attention, exercise, feeding, companionship, and general care throughout the day. Caring for pets complements my lifestyle and is something I find both rewarding and fulfilling. I care for pets by following their regular routine, including feeding, providing fresh water, exercise, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of attention. I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all instructions provided, keep the home tidy, and provide updates so owners know their pets are doing well. I am dependable, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals.

Ryan did an amazing job taking care of our Ricki in our house while we were away. She constantly communicated with us and sent pictures. She also did an excellent job managing Ricki's distrust of strangers. She also helped us by feeding our fish, and collecting our mail. Overall and excellent job, I will definitely use her services

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Cooksville walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Cooksville maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Cooksville 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!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
