“This was my first time leaving my two Maltese dogs overnight, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She went above and beyond from start to finish—constantly sending videos and pictures that gave me total peace of mind. Her communication was excellent, and it really showed how much she cares. One of my favorite touches was receiving a “good morning” video from my dogs—it meant a lot and made me feel connected even while I was away. Her home is clearly set up to care for dogs, safe, clean, and welcoming. On top of that, the location is absolutely beautiful, which made the whole experience even better. I highly recommend her without any doubt. If you’re nervous about leaving your pets, she’s exactly the kind of sitter you want.”
“Bethany took such good care of our sheepadoodle Bunny while we were in town for a vacation. This was my first time using Rover and am so glad I did. She sent photos and updates on Bunny and made me feel so comfortable and I knew she was well taken care of. You can tell Bethany loves animals. Highly recommend her.”
“Holly was awesome. She genuinely cared about my dog Booger. She sent me updates with pictures and videos everyday. She made me feel safe and secure about leaving my Boogie for a week. I highly recommend her and I will be using her again.”
“Communication throughout boarding was excellent! We had a meet and greet prior to boarding that helped me feel more at ease with my doggo's well-being. There were several walks, photo updates, and time with other dogs playing. I'd book with Nicole and Dexter again, if their schedule allows during future trips!”
“Absolutely awesome with our guy. Very personable and polite. Took great care of our pup and was a great communicator. Couldn’t find a better person to care for your furry family member. Would absolutely use again! Thanks for being awesome Zach!!!”
“Cody and Rachel were great! Very communicative and worked with us on timing. My older pup got sick and they took great care of him and made him some plain chicken and rice. Will definitely be boarding with them again next time we need a hand with the dogs!”
“We really appreciate Joseph taking care of Teddy. Teddy didn't want to leave when we picked him up. Its always hard to leave your pet but Joseph made us feel at ease instantly.”
“Jessica continues to ‘knock it out of the park’!! Our schedule became very dynamic the day prior to our drop off and Jessica was able to adjust her schedule to accommodate our boy coming early. Sounds like Sully even managed to sit in on a math class and maybe geography as well. Sully always come home a more rounded member of the pack for sure. Thank you so much Jessica!”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing Experience! Highly Recommended! We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Megan and her family! We booked Marshall’s stay on the very same day, and from the beginning, Megan was incredibly responsive, accommodating, and attentive. She and her husband took excellent care of Marshall, and it was clear that he was in great hands. He came back happy, relaxed, and perfectly cared for, which meant everything to us! What truly stood out was Megan’s thoughtfulness and flexibility. She even offered to meet us at a more convenient location for pickup, allowing us to save time and enjoy more precious moments with our family during our vacation. That extra effort meant so much to us! Megan and her husband went above and beyond, and we couldn’t be more grateful. I would recommend them a thousand times over! If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and genuinely attentive to your pet, look no further. Thank you, Megan and family, for treating Marshall so wonderfully! We would absolutely book with you again!”
“Tami excels in caring for pups in every way. She is communicative, thoughtful, organized, and truly cares about the well being and happiness of the dogs who stay with her. She is wonderful to work with for the parents as well. She is thorough with following the routine they have in place at home, making sure all meds and schedules are met. The environment is clean and safe and we can always be at ease when we have to leave our dog in her care. Thank you, Tami. You are great at what you do!”
“Lorie was amazing. She did a great job caring for our pup. Dixie stayed over night while we did some tourist activities. Lorie had great communication and sent us pictures. She definitely treated Dixie like her own. I highly recommend Lorie for anyone looking for a sweet caring sitter.”
“Mojo loves socialization, so he really seemed to enjoy his stay with Kiki's 6 dogs, cat and toddler! The sweet photos were so reassuring. I was concerned because the fence on the property was a corral type used for horses and was not secure for an escape artist dog and runner such as Mojo. But Kiki took him out on a leash several times throughout the day as she does with some of her own dogs and it worked out fine, especially with lots of rain. Bottom line is that Mojo was well cared for and loved on like by experienced dog handlers who treated him like a furry family member. Unless your dog requires free runs, Kiki's is a perfect place to board your dog.”
“Our Barton boy enjoyed every second of being there!! We received picture and video updates the whole time away and could really feel the love they poured into him. You can tell he misses his new friends so much already! 🖤”
“Rachel was great! Sent lots of updates and took great care of my dog. Felt like my dog fit right in to Rachel’s little pack! Thank you so much for taking such good care of her!”
“Wendy is amazing! She knew it was my first time using Rover and my first time needing a sitter for my cat, she made sure I had updates with photos 1-2 times per day! I felt so safe to leave my cat with her and her family. They all treated him like their very own. I would definitely book with Wendy again, I am so beyond happy with my experience!😊😊”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for practically my entire life. My household has reached its limit on pets but I would love to care and help out any pets I can. I’ve fostered with Young Williams many times. I love dogs of any ages! I’m currently stay at home and so I can give my full attention to any pets in my home! My own dogs are good companions and love friends I have a fenced in backyard and two dogs of my own, as well as a separate bedroom for any dogs in need of their own space. My dogs are crate trained and can be put away at any time to make another pup feel welcome and calmed! Routine is big in this house and always makes the animals feel better.
“Lucia and her husband were absolutely amazing with my Charlie! Him and Milo played and played for the entire week and became best buds. She provided constant updates, I never even had to worry for a second about my baby. They treated Charlie just like they’re own and you could tell by how happy he always was! If your looking for a sitter don’t pass up Lucia and her family. ?”

Bethany and husband were fantastic with our pup. They are so clearly animal lovers and cared for Shasta like she was one of their own. Shasta loved playing with their pups and when we picked her up, was happy and healthy, and as a bonus, smelled great! Thanks so much for your care!
Telecia was a match made in heaven. We were looking for a sitter for our gang of 3 and they loved her. Our oldest is a little iffy about new people and she rolled up in her yard like she’s known her for years! Our youngest is just a couple months old so we wanted someone who would give her the attention she requires. Not only was it my wife’s birthday but it was Telecia’s as well. She never hesitated to accept our booking or allow us to add an additional day when our flight was delayed. Stiletto, Bella and Willow thank you so much for taking care of them. Hope you have an amazing birthday.

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
96% of sitters in McCookville can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their McCookville home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your McCookville.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in McCookville. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
You and your McCookville sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in TN ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
