About: I have been in-house pet sitting, doing drop-in’s, and dog walking since I was 18. I have a lot of experience with older animals that require special medical care. I will go the extra mile to make sure you and your pet have a safe, comfortable, and enjoyable experience! I am currently working part time so I have flexible hours and am able to accommodate most morning and afternoon times! I also have off days during the week I’m free all day! In your home I will do a thorough walk through with you where you can give me all the specific info I’ll need to keep your pets safe! Any tricky doors, quirky habits of your pets, rules about outside time or walks, and any information you give me I will follow to a T to ensure that your pets are following normal routines and will be as safe as possible!
“Abby was communicative and spent a lot of time with my pets even during a busy schedule. There were a few curveballs (key I gave her didn’t work) but she reached out right away to figure out a solution”
“Jessica is absolutely fantastic! She was able to watch my dog on short notice and took exceptional care of him!!! She was patient with me when I was slightly panicking because I was out of state and the person who was supposed to watch him cancelled. She made sure I didn’t have to worry about my dog and I knew he would be cared for properly. Will definitely be booking again!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all kinds. My family, friends, and neighbors have all relied on me to make sure their pets get the best care & LOVE!

About: Hi, I’m Arlet. Im 31 years old. Right after high school I went to study to be a Vet Assistant at Petra Allied Health! I have worked at St Francis animal hospital twice & Southwest Pet hospital. To pass my course I had to do some training at Lyons Vet. I have been an animal lover since I was in diapers! My mom always knew I’d grow up to do something with animals. My love for them is like no other. I really just wanna cuddle them and love on them. Animals warm my heart. I would love to meet y’all & spend some time with your fur babies. I’m doing this full time so I’m very flexible.I can walk, feed, clip nails, bath, give meds…Also I made this page back in 2019 and then I just never got back in. so its been inactive for years till now… also, I lost my soul fur baby January of 2026 to a tumor & it absolutely broke me… He was in my life for 13 years… it doesn’t get easier but I am now ready to love on other animals. It’s healing to me. Thank yoooouuu my baby dozer is human to me lol. he sleeps with me, I feed him, take Him outside, come home for lunch to walk him, walk him after work too. let him play outside for about 1-2 hours so when he comes back inside he is tired and its time for us to sleep. he is potty trained so he usually just lets me know when he wants to go outside and I let him. very chill baby. I feed mine, clean, bath, trim nails, walks. basically whatever my dog needs he gets. Very well trained too. I can go to your fur babies.
“Marilyn did a great job communicating ahead of time and during her visits. She sent lots of pictures of our cats, their food being filled, and their water running. This gave us peace of mind while we were away! I’d definitely recommend her for anyone’s fur babies!”
About: I have owned pets my whole life, including domestic and wild pets. Dogs, cats, squirrels, coons and possums if they need me I take them in and give them what they need! Because I am single, semi retired and self-employed I am able to make my own schedule. I can be available seven days a week, 365 days a year! I have a 3 year-old blue heeler rescue male pup and 3 year old male rescue cat and they love each other. As of June 2026 I am under contract to sell my 10 acre glampground and have moved down the road to Jane, MO! BIggie is the glampground pup and interacts with all of the Airbnb guest pets with no problems whatsoever and they typically fall in love with him and bring him inside at night, although he prefers to have the run of the place outside all day and he won’t come in until he’s ready!!!

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
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.
