About: • 3 years as veterinary assistant • 1.5 years as a kennel tech for boarding • 3 years as an equine handler for youth pony rides • 6 months shadowing professional dog trainers • Enrolled in Animal Sciences at MU with pre-admission to MU College of Veterinary Medicine Despite the many years I have dedicated to animal care, my passion only grows. My experience in veterinary medicine has provided me the knowledge and confidence to recognize and handle emergencies effectively. Through the years I have collected helpful advice on pet behavior, pet health, and handling that I am always happy to share. I am comfortable handling and providing care to dogs, cats, rabbits, rodents, and some exotics. I have always been recognized for my strong work ethic, and consider your pet’s health a top priority! I am currently working part-time in addition to being a full-time student. Weekends are perfect for me to care for your pet, however I can make some weekdays work as needed. In my client’s homes I am comfortable conducting any routine no matter how specific as I understand the complex needs of every pet. I am very thorough with directions, and have extensive experience medicating animals and handling emergencies.
About: Hello! I have had all kinds of pets growing up. I have always had at least a dog and a cat. Currently i personally have a 7 month old puppy and a 2 year old cat. I have been pet sitting for friends and family for about two years now. I would love to meet your furry friend! I currently am working 4 days a week but am free after work and my days off. My days off are Thursday, Friday, and Sunday. I will be attending school starting in November so my schedule will change then. I currently have a 7 month old puppy and a two year old cat, but have always had a pet so I have taken care of pets of all ages and breeds. My friends and family all have varying breeds and ages of dogs and I am comfortable with all of them! I always make sure to spend a good amount of time with them.
About: I've been caring for dogs for as long as I can remember, with over 3 years of professional dog sitting experience and a lifetime of love for animals. I've raised and trained three of my own dogs from puppyhood and shared my life with four wonderful pups in total. Even during my toughest times battling cancer caring for my dogs brought me strength and joy. I treat every dog I care for like family, with patience, compassion, and plenty of tail wags. As an off-campus student at Mizzou, my class schedule may vary slightly each semester, but am generally available most days throughout the week. I'm flexible and happy to work with you to find the best times for your pet's care needs. Currently, I do not offer in-home boarding for new clients due to my two dogs at home, b continue to provide this service for existing clients. For those pets, I have a secure, fenced-in backyard where they can safely play and exercise, and I keep extra crates on hand if needed for rest or comfort. For dog walking services, I always bring a portable water bowl to keep pups hydrated- especially during warmer days-and use an adjustable harness for dogs that tend to pull more. also rotate between several sturdy, high-quality leashes to ensure walks are both safe and comfortable for every dog. Whether I'm walking your pet or visiting them in your home, their safety, happiness, and well-being are always my top priority.
“Abigail was great with our dogs! One is elderly and needs meds and special care and one is a handful! She was patient and kind and kept us well informed on our first trip after moving to the area. It was such a relief to know they were in such good hands. Highly recommend!”
“Arabella was super responsive and communicative while checking on my kitties. She sent lots of videos and pictures that helped ease my traveling anxiety and let me know they were in good hands. Would absolutely recommend her services to anyone looking for a great sitter!”
About: I grew up with numerous pets; cats, dogs, hamsters, and even a sugar glider. I love animals and the playful energy they bring! I am used to caring for multiple animals at once and have no issues doing so! I’m currently a full-time college student. I am available on the weekends and in the early morning/late evenings during the week. I enjoy running and being active so I’d love to have a furry friend to accompany me! I currently live in a townhome with a large unfenced yard that faces the woods. I can easily crate if needed and I am very active so active dogs are welcome!

About: Tons of animal experience, have been pet sitting since around the age of 13 for family and friends! Happy to provide references to make you know your pet is getting the best care! I currently am PRN for the state hospital so get to pick my own schedule! That being said I have plenty of time to care for your animals! I have a huge yard and large apartment with plenty of space to make your animals feel comfortable and welcomed while staying in my home!
“Hailea was great! She communicated regularly about my kitties and sent great photos. When I got home, they seemed well taken care of and happy. I will be booking with Hailea again!”

“Lana is always amazing with our dogs. She gives them so much love and attention while we were away. She even asked if we needed the garbage out and took our packages in. She made us feel so at ease while on vacation”

About: I am a Registered Veterinary Technician that works with dogs of all sizes and different temperaments daily. I'm comfortable with administering medications, doing nail trims, and picking up poop! I currently work full time at a Veterinary clinic, but am typically off Fridays-Sundays (I work rotating Saturdays until noon). I'm also in the Army Reserves, so I may be gone certain weekends. Feel free to reach out! I am willing to stop by your house (especially if your pet is more comfortable with that) to feed, water, give them medications if need, and clean litter boxes/walk - and give them loving of course! I can board small dogs in my home. I have a fenced in back yard that they are welcome to run around in.

About: I have grown up with dogs in the home my entire life and adopted my own the first chance I was able to provide a stable environment. I often take care of my parents' 3 dogs in addition to my own! I currently work full time during the week but have plenty of time of the weekends to go for walks and/or host your furry family when they are unable to tag along with you! I have a very friendly 3 year old lab mix that is able to keep your dog entertained during stays or walks. I live in a complex with a large trail surrounding and dog park to offer plenty of exercise and socialization as well!

“Our pets are always well taken care of any time Sharon comes over. She always communicates with us about anything that she may needs more info on. She's our go-to sitter!”

About: I grew up with a cat and found a love for all my friends dogs. I have been working with animals since I can remember. I have also worked with Second Chance and have taken their train the trainer type class. I love training new tricks and starting a new bond with most animals (no spiders or snakes). I am a remote worker, which means I can come to you. I am able to take breaks throughout the day to take walks or give some attention to the Animals. Also if you have a puppy that needs to be potty trained I have a great schedule for that. While I will be coming to your place to take care of your animals, I would prefer to meet up at least once before watching your pet to make sure there are no problems. I also believe if I am watching your pet at your home any messes are on me to clean.
“Elizabeth was great! We would highly recommend her! She was prompt, professional and very loving to our puppies. She followed all our instructions and was very communicative. My travels were blessed because she took away all my worries regarding leaving the puppies!”

About: I have grown up with 2 cats my entire life and have been around dogs of many different sizes and ages for as long as I can remember. I have done multiple shifts of overnight stays and drop-in visits with various cats and dogs. These families have relied on me to take their dogs for walks, feed them, give them medicine, and ensure they are safe, happy, and comfortable. I recently moved to Cary, so I am looking to fill my time early mornings, around lunch time, and late afternoon. Each week looks slightly different, but I am pretty flexible in scheduling when given early notice! Growing up, my pets were my top priority. We had a fenced-in yard and made sure we knew where the animals were at all times. To ensure this, my family and I communicated with each other if the pets were either inside or outside and if outside, we made sure someone had an eye on them almost always. In the client's home, I will guarantee that the pet will never be left out of sight. I will create checklists/to-do lists individual for each pet that ensures I do not miss any important step when caring for your animal!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Ashland stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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.

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 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.
