“Any pup would be lucky to have Daniela as one of their people! My reactive dog is a big fan of hers. He is noticeably more relaxed on days that she came to see him while we were at work. Don’t hesitate to book with Daniela! She’s responsive and cares for your pets like her own.”

About: Hi, I’m Jamie! I’m a warm, friendly, and reliable pet caregiver offering tailored dog walking and drop-in visits for both cats and dogs. Animals have been a central part of my life since I was a little girl. Over the years, I have been the go-to, trusted sitter for friends and family while they travel, giving me hands-on experience with all kinds of routines. At home, I am a proud pet parent to my own rescue dog and rescue cat. Because of them, I truly understand the patience, love, and unique care it takes to support adopted animals and help them feel safe. You can completely trust me with your furry family members. I have completely open, flexible availability for dog walking and drop-in visits. Because I manage my own schedule from home while caring for my own rescue cat and dog, I can easily and smoothly fit your pets into my daily routine. Whether you need a consistent mid-day dog walk, an early morning cat visit, or a last-minute drop-in, I can accommodate your schedule and give your furry family members the dedicated time and attention they deserve. • Safety-First Approach: Your pet's security, leash safety, and emotional well-being are always my absolute top priorities. • Dog Walking: Structured, energetic, or peaceful neighborhood walks depending on your dog's pace. I am highly familiar with high-energy breeds and dogs with special needs. • Drop-In Visits (Cats & Dogs): Quick or extended check-ins for feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, and play. Whether your cat is a social butterfly or reclusive and shy, I respect their boundaries. • Peace of Mind: You will receive clear communication and happy photo updates during every single walk or visit. I would love to set up a free Meet & Greet to ensure I am the perfect fit for your family!

About: Hi there! I’ve had cats throughout childhood and through most of my adult life, so caring for animals has always been something I've loved. I’ve also helped out friends and neighbors by pet sitting for their cats and dogs. I've given medication and supplements to my own cats. I’m active and love being outdoors — walking, running, or hiking with a dog sounds like the perfect day to me! Several years ago, I actually had a Rover sitter care for my cat Baby when she was sick. She was very reliable — she kept me updated, showed so much compassion, and gave me total peace of mind. That experience really stuck with me and I aspire to be that same trusted, reliable sitter for others. My own fur babies have since crossed the rainbow bridge, so I don’t currently have pets at home — which means my schedule is flexible and I can give your fur babies my full attention. I’d love to meet your furry family members and make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. ❤️ I ran my own business for 10 years and am taking some time off right now, so my schedule is flexible. I focus on overnight pet sitting, which means I can stay with your fur babies to keep them company, follow their normal routine, and make sure they feel safe and cared for while you’re away. Keeping your fur babies safe is my top priority. I like to have a list of care instructions so I know exactly what they need, and I always ask for your vet’s contact info just in case. I’ll keep you updated and reach out right away if anything comes up. Since I do overnight stays in your home, I make sure to keep things comfortable and familiar for your fur babies so they feel safe and relaxed while you’re away. Overnight Care Guidelines To ensure a comfortable and successful stay for everyone: • Companion animals sleep in their own beds (I don’t share my bed). • Indoor cameras are turned off during my stay. • Homes are reasonably clean & tidy, and free of strong odors. • Clean linens are provided for my use. • A meet-and-greet is required prior to confirming a booking.

About: Cats and dogs have been part of my everyday life since childhood. Today my wife and I share our home with two cats and two dogs — so your pet is joining a household that already speaks their language. I've cared for family members' and friends' animals through house sitting, in-home drop-ins, feeding, walks, and play — at my place and at theirs. Laid-back, attentive, and genuinely passionate about animals. Pet care is my full-time focus right now. While I take cybersecurity courses and work toward a new career in tech, my days are built around home — which means your pet gets consistent, attentive care every single day of the week. I am available for both daycare and boarding seven days a week with no gaps in availability. A typical day looks like this: Meals Three feeding periods — morning, midday, and evening — keep pets on a consistent routine throughout the day. Walks Dogs go out 6 to 7 times a day, roughly every 3 hours, so there are no long stretches of waiting — they stay active and comfortable all day long. Cat play Cats enjoy one to two dedicated play sessions each day to keep them stimulated and engaged. My home is a pet-friendly, well-organized space designed with animal comfort and safety in mind. Here's what you can expect: Resident dogs Two friendly small dogs — a Pomeranian and a Chihuahua — live in the home and are great companions for visiting dogs. They've spent time at doggy daycare themselves and are comfortable and experienced around other dogs, which helps guests settle in faster. Cats in the home There are cats in the household. Baby gates are in place throughout the home to create separated zones as needed, keeping cats and dogs comfortable and giving everyone their own space to decompress. Yard & outdoor time My yard is not fenced, so all outdoor time is leashed. With 6 to 7 walks a day, dogs get more than enough fresh air and exercise — and they're never left unattended outside. Crating A small dog crate is available if a pet is crate-trained or needs a quiet retreat. I'm also happy to use a crate provided by the owner if your dog is more comfortable in their own space.

She was very communicative, sent pictures for every visit and let us know how the dogs were doing throughout the weekend. I'm really excited to have found someone to watch our dogs when we are away!!”

About: I've walked dogs as a volunteer as well as administered medication. Those skills taught me patience and understanding while scooping and entertaining the animals. That's it. I'll have plenty of time to play with puppies and dogs. Which will be a good way to support them and make sure they get the loving care they need. I have a regular home that has cats in it and it is a safe place for animals in general. That's about it for that detail.

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 November 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 November 2026, there are 15,707 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 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.

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 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.
