About: I grew up on a farm and took part in daily care of all animals big and small. My love for animals started at a young age as I made it my personal mission to convince my parents to allow me to take in literally dozens of strays abandoned on our dirt road over the years. I’ve had a soft spot for animals my entire life. I believe every animal deserves to be treated with compassion and dignity. In my adult life, I’ve fostered young puppies, cared for and trained a shepsky mix for the last 7 years, and have cared for cats ranging from bottle fed kittens to senior cats as old as 25 (RIP Miss Priss 🥲) and am now the proud parent of a dart frog tadpole! I can work with you to determine what schedule works best for your pets needs. My children are in school three days a week and play with family and friends every other day, so it’s no problem for me to slip out for 30-60 minutes to tend to your furry friends. I have one cat, one dog, and two young children. For these reasons, I prefer to pet sit in your home because that is the environment that your pet is most comfortable with, but *can* offer boarding in my home to established clients if your pet is amenable to sharing our space! My pets each have their own room and I have implemented a crate & rotate system for other animal guests in the past to ensure that there are no unfortunate accidents. My husband will be present to supervise our children, but trust that the privilege of caring for your pet is all mine. We have a large fenced in back yard and a quiet safe neighborhood for all of the outdoor enrichment your pet could dream of! For drop in pet care, I will follow your rules and routines exactly as you relay them to me and can provide you with an abundance of pictures to show you that your pets are in good hands.
“Za’Bella was an excellent sitter! Our animals just adored her. She kept in close contact with us, shared sweet updates of our animals, and took excellent care of them. She was also so neat and respectful we barely even knew she had been in our home. This was a very last minute booking and she came through for us. We would highly recommend her services and would love to have her again.”
“Hannah did a WONDERFUL job caring for my dogs!! Great communication. Highly recommended. Having Duke as a playmate was just an added bonus. I honestly think that they are depressed that he had to leave!!”
About: I have 16 years of experience caring for a variety of pets, including dogs, cats, birds, and fish. I’m especially comfortable with birds, which is something that sets me apart from many sitters. I understand that every animal has its own personality, routine, and needs. I believe pets are family, and I would treat yours with the same kindness, patience, and care that I give my own. I have a flexible schedule and spend a lot of time at home, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, companionship, and giving pets the attention they need throughout the day. I take pet safety seriously and always follow the owner’s instructions, routines, and house rules. I pay close attention to doors, feeding instructions, behavior, and each pet’s comfort level. I’m patient, gentle, and respectful of their space, and I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I have a fenced yard where pets can safely enjoy supervised outdoor time. I take pet safety seriously and always follow the owner’s instructions, routines, and house rules. I pay close attention to doors, feeding instructions, behavior, and each pet’s comfort level. I’m patient, gentle, and focused on making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for.
About: Experienced & Compassionate Pet Sitter – Including Senior Pet Care I have hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages, including senior dogs and cats who need a little extra love and attention. I’m familiar with administering medications, monitoring for health changes, and creating a calm, gentle environment for older pets. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding, playtime, or simply offering comfort and companionship, I treat every pet like family. I’m also reliable, patient, and mindful of each pet’s individual needs and routines. I'm currently home all day, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pets! I'm available for boarding Sunday-Sunday, all day any time! I adapt my care based on the pet’s personality, routine, and comfort level, whether in my home or the client’s. In the client’s home, I aim to maintain their pet’s normal schedule to reduce stress, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any medications. I make sure the space stays clean, safe, and calm while keeping the pet happy and engaged. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a pet-safe, quiet environment with plenty of love, supervision, and room to play or relax. I keep owners updated with photos and messages, and I’m always attentive to their pet’s behavior, mood, and needs. My goal is to give pets a secure, loving experience while their families are away.
About: We began caring for pups in 2010 as a family/locally owned and operated business and we remain so today! We firmly believe that our pets are integral members of our families and should be treated with love and respect! My son Griff and I treat your pups as if they are our own. They are welcome on our beds, sofa and to play with the toys that are replenished weekly! We dont crate unless you do at home. Pups play in our fenced in yard with baby pools and toys during the summer and in the snow in the winter. Pickup and drop offs are flexible as this is my full time business. Lots of play, hugs, love and fun are included in every stay!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 52 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Adair. 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 Adair 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 Adair 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 Adair 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.
