About: I love dogs! I guarantee outstanding care of your beloved pets. For the last 10+ years I have been professionally watching dogs and have loved every second of it. I assure you, your dog will be in great hands, letting you do what you need to do without having to worry. My schedule is very flexible so it’s easy for me to be there for your dog. I take dogs on several walks a day, giving them a chance to go potty and enjoy playing with them to make sure they feel loved and secure while they’re with me. You can bring your dog’s favorite toys or blankets, however we have everything your dog would need to feel at home with me. I wash everything after each visit to make sure all of my things are clean for the next fur baby. I have food and water bowls, toys, beds, blankets, crates and even leashes. I want to make it as convenient as possible for you while ensuring your dog is comfortable with me. A typical day for us is getting up early and taking your dog for an early walk. Feed him or her breakfast. Go for several walks throughout the day and spend lots of time playing and cuddling. Feed him or her dinner and end the day by going for a long walk after dinner and cuddle watching tv. Because we live on a 600 acre property, safety is our top priority. When we are taking walks with your dog, we will take every precaution necessary to ensure your dog is safe.

About: I've taken care of many different dogs, I am comfortable with all breeds and ages. Ive had experience with every energetic puppies, as well as low energy older dogs, small dogs that are all over the place and loud ones. I've lived in a household with pets basically my while life, aside from dogs I have experience with cats, lizards, small animals (specifically rats and hamsters), and parrots. I am very passionate with them all, love spending time with them. My house and neighborhood is great and safe for walking pets, not many cars come through and there are not that many dogs around, so accidents would not happen. And my house is large with a lot of large empty spaces so the dog wouldnt have a chance to be destructive. Most of the time I would be available, I spend most of my time at home, and I do college online. Occasionally I might leave for a day, and in October I'm going on a trip 5-17. My house is very pet friendly, I currently have rats but they have their own room to which I usually keep the door closed. A large part of the house has a lot of empty spaces and the main living room currently doesn't have much furniture, but still a lot of space to run around. It does have stairs. Our neighborhood is a great place to walk around, not that many cars or people walk around, so there would be no accidents. Unfortunately my back/front yard is not fenced, so the dog would need to stay on a leash. I will also listen and follow all the instructions provided by you in your home, I respect other people's spaces and privacy.

“Taresse did an excellent job with my cat! I was intially nervous since I’ve never used Rover before, but I was really relieved with Taresse’s care. She really did take the time to not only feed and medicate my cat, but also took time to cuddle with her, and also left the apartment cleaner than when we left it. She also took great pictures of my cat every visit!”

About: I’ve always loved animals and have over 6 years of experience caring for pets. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels, and I’m happy to help with walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and keeping pets company. My background in caregiving has taught me to be patient, attentive, and dependable, especially when caring for pets with unique needs or routines. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets with someone you trust, and I’ll treat them with the same care and attention I would want for my own. I’m available for pet care primarily in the mornings and around midday, generally between 9 AM and 12 PM. I’m happy to work with your pet’s usual routine and provide walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship while you’re away. I provide pet care exclusively in your home, where your pets can stay comfortable and maintain their normal routine. I’m respectful of your space and will follow your instructions carefully. I’ll make sure your pets receive attentive, loving care and are safe and comfortable throughout each visit.

About: I’m a caring and responsible dog lover who enjoys making pups feel safe, comfortable and loved. I have experience caring for my neighbor and brother’s dogs while they’re away, including feeding, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention! Due to the offseason of baseball, I have a flexible schedule and can work from home as needed. This allows me to be available throughout the day for necessary pet care. I am available weekends. I am happy to work around your pet’s routine and needs. My schedule also makes it easier to accommodate different drop-off, pick ups, and care times. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I want every pet in my care to feel safe, relaxed, and at home. I provide a clean, comfortable, and welcoming environment while giving each pet plenty of attention, care, and supervision. As a owner of 4 cats and 1 dog, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry friend, and I’ll treat your pet with the same care and respect that I give my own!

About: I’ve had dogs since I was young. I grew up on a farm with lots of animals and have trained many puppies and older dogs alike. All my dogs have been rescues so I’m very familiar with dogs that have come from bad situations and dogs that are misunderstood because of their breeds. I’ve always had dogs of different sizes, breeds and temperaments. I’m always the first person my friends and family go to when they need some extra help with t dogs or just need someone to watch them while on vacation. I live on 10 acres which is perfect for those dogs that love off leash time but don’t get a lot, I love exploring new areas and have assisted in training dogs while in the military. I'm a stay at home wife who takes care of all our animals! I adore dogs and take mine on several walks a day around the farm, we have a creek that the dogs can swim in as well in the nicer weather. Pets are my passion and I love hosting others in my home and going out to other places to walk pets! I live on twelve acres and can offer a safe environment for dogs to safely play in, I have extra long leads so if your pup isn’t quite off leash trained they can still have an amazing experience with the long leads and all the land. I always follow whatever instructions are left for me as I know how important routines can be for a pet!

About: I’ve had dogs all my life and currently my parents will leave their dogs in my care when they go out of town. I also used to watch my friend’s dogs in college whenever they needed to go home! One of my favorite things to do in college was to walk the dogs at the humane society and we even had an event to walk dogs with other people in greek life on campus! I am very flexible when it comes to routine, i would structure my schedule around what you would prefer! I am able to do weekdays and weekends! I walk my dogs in the early morning but I would able to adjust based on your personal schedule! Pets are a part of a family! I would take the best care i could to make sure they are happy and healthy throughout the time they are in my care!

“This was our first time using Rover. We were very impressed by Angela. We went out of state and Angela took care of our 2 senior boys (cats). We came home to happy boys and their areas were all taken care of. She sent us plenty of pictures and even a video of the boys along the way! We will definitely be booking Angela from now on for all of our traveling.”

Ryan is amazing. Conscientious, attentive, caring, highly communicative. Ryan spent all summer coming to our house 1 sometimes 2x a day to let our 8 week old puppy out. With ever changing rules about puppy freedom activities with our VERY energetic older golden, she always asked what she could and couldn't let them do. I would hire Ryam 100x over she is amazing. 100/10. No notes.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Cooksville

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Cooksville is $21 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $26 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 15,789 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Cooksville. 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Cooksville. On Rover:

  • 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 93% 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 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.
