“Kate was sweet, kind, understanding, and responsive. She dealt with a very difficult case of separation anxiety with our newly adopted dog and went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable. Very responsible and made me feel so good knowing that my animals were getting the care they need. Plus, she just seems to LOVE the animals. I can't recommend her highly enough.”
“Brooke took her time to come out and meet with us and our dogs prior to watching them. She took the time to listen to us and answer questions that we had. She was also easy to contact leading up to our trip. Unfortunately, circumstances canceled our trip. But we will not hesitate to contact and use her once again.”
“Eden was fantastic with our older English bulldog! She was reliable, punctual, and took such great care of her. We felt completely at ease knowing our pup was in good hands. I would absolutely recommend Eden and will definitely be using her again in the future. Thank you, Eden!”
“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”
“Hannah is WONDERFUL! It is quite obvious that Atticus was loved and well cared for. The house was immaculate upon our return. We will definitely ask for her again the next time we need a dog sitter!”
“Keira is so fantastic! My dog is still a little bit nervous because Keira is new, but she really takes it in stride and seems to magically make my dog more comfortable. Keira is so patient, kind, and gracious, highly recommended if your pup tends to be the nervous kind.”
“If you’re looking for a great pet/house sitter, Riley is your person. Riley took great care of my pup and fish, checked in daily with me, sent photos and provided daily walks each day. At the end of the stay, Riley summarized Toby’s week, including highlights and household things she did on a sheet of paper. Riley is very reliable and I’ll definitely book her again in the future.”
“Samantha stayed in our home with our two girls. She updated me everyday and was a very respectful house guest! Everything was tidy and just where we had left it. The girls were happy and I doubt they missed us at all 😂. I would definitely recommend Sam!”
“Hailey was so great with our pup! She gave good updates and let us know how he was each day with photo updates. She was also so professional and we loved working with her. Will definitely book again - especially because Kiba loved her!”
“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!”
“Austin & Taylor house sat my two high-energy velcro Vizslas for 6 days/5 nights while I was in Mexico! I sincerely appreciated the excellent care they provided. They were attentive, communicative, and present with my pups, kept them on their routine, and sent pics and updates. They made it easy for me, being so far away, to be comfortable and relaxed knowing my fur babies were being well cared for. Not only did I come home to happy, separation anxiety free pups, but I came home to a house that was well taken care of! We hope to have them sit again!”
“We cannot recommend Ronny highly enough! When another sitter backed out at the last minute, we reached out to Ronny on short notice. He responded promptly and was more than willing to come by for a meet and greet, which immediately put us at ease. From the moment he walked in the door, our cats were comfortable with him which is not always the case. Ronny took his time answering all of our questions and asked thoughtful questions of his own. Even though we admittedly have a very detailed list of instructions, he did an amazing job remembering all the little things and checking in regularly with messages and photos throughout his stay. It was clear that Ronny genuinely cared about making sure our cats were happy, comfortable, and well loved while we were away. He was also incredibly respectful of our home, leaving everything exactly as we left it. He even went above and beyond by offering to clear our driveway after an unexpected snowfall. If you’re looking for someone who truly goes the extra mile and treats your pets like their own, Ronny is absolutely the person to book!”
“Nora has been absolutely fantastic! She does drop-in visits when I am away on vacation or out for work. She communicates well and always sends great pictures of my dogs and cat to let me know how they’re doing.”
“Absolutely fantastic experience with Katharine! She took great care of my dogs and handled giving medicine expertly, and was perfectly comfortable taking care of a giant breed dog. She also sent us pictures periodically of the dogs while she was caring for them which was so nice! Would recommend to everyone!”
“I'm so glad that Majdoline was able to watch my dog and house-sit over the weekend. She was very quick to respond to any messages and gave several updates throughout the day with a ton of pictures, I never had to worry about a thing. She spent lots of time both giving my dog attention and letting her run around and play in the yard. She left everything in the house very neat and clean as well. I would absolutely ask her to pet-sit for me again!”
“Bronte was great with my dogs! This was my first time having someone stay at my house with my animals. I was a little nervous but Bronte was really great. She followed all my request. She brought toys for them. She was very responsive and sent many updates. I would use her again!”
“Sierra was incredible with our dog! She stayed right at our house, sent updates, pictures and took such good care of him! We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter for their fur baby! We would definitely have her watch him again!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Cooksville on Rover is $53.5 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 10,158 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Cooksville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
Tip: 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 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.

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.
