“John, Rachel and their entire family are incredible! This is our second time using them, and our second time not having to worry about leaving out babies while we go out of town. It’s that peace of mind that makes all the difference. I highly recommend them!”
“I couldn’t be more pleased with the care my dog, Jordan, received. Bridget was outstanding—her communication was prompt and clear, and her home was clean. It was evident that she takes great pride in providing a safe, clean, and loving environment. It was nice she had her own dog kennels too so I didn’t have to bring mine. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.”
“Stevie was very kind, had a wonderful place for the dogs to stay, & was very accommodating on drop off & pick up times. I would definitely recommend her.”
“Did so good with my shy boy. Didn’t have any other dogs out when we arrived and let him adjust. Sent me lots of photos and sent him home in the cutest little bandana and super tired. Will definitely book again ?”
“Sharon was amazing with my Pom while we went I hit of town for 5 days half way across the country. We arrived back a bit later than expected (about 1 hour) and she had him all ready to go. He was happy to see us but I could tell her had been well taken care of. Thanks Sharon for allowing us to enjoy our time away and not worry about of 4 legged family member”
“Thank you for taking great care of our dogs! Kathleen is organized and is very responsive to messages. She is conscientious and sends updates daily with pictures. She takes a genuine interest in caring for dogs and ensuring they are comfortable. Would recommend highly.”
“Daine and Ashley were fantastic!! They really made our two Shit-Tzus feel at home. They listened to all our guidance with sleeping, kenneling, and meals. They were even accommodating to us, when we decided to pick up our dogs early. Thank you for everything!! We don't travel much, but when we do, we'll try to book with them again.”
“Naji treated our Roxy as her own dog! Roxy loved staying with Naji and her own dogs! She took Roxy outside to get exercise and play ball. She kept us updated with messages and videos while we were away. We will definitely have Naji watch Roxy the next time we go away!”
“Upon the first conversation and meeting, she made us feel comfortable and we knew our fur baby would be safe and well cared for. Being out of the country for 3 weeks, we needed no worries and Saige delivered! When we picked up Mali, she looked happy and loved. We will definitely be using her again. Thank you!”
“Our dog seemed to be happy staying with Jackie and the other dogs who were there at the time.Jackie also sent us texts and photos for reassurance. We will use her again soon and recommend! G A”
“Olga did a fantastic job taking care of our dogs! She kept us updated regularly throughout their stay, which gave us great peace of mind. It was clear she was a wonderful host who genuinely cared about our pups. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and attentive sitter!”
“Highly recommend. Was great with my dog and very easy to plan drop off/pick up. My dog loved it and good communication while he was staying there (pictures, updates, etc.).”
About: My husband and I have been around animals all of our life. We have pet sit for our family and friends for many years and we love doing it so much that we have decided to extend our services to others. Being parents of a rambunctious cat and shy dog we know how scary it can be to leave your loved one with a stranger. With us your baby will not be a stranger for long, we will welcome them with open arms and care. We have 25 plus years experience working with all age ranges of cats and dogs. Between my husband and I we are able to arrange our schedules so your furbaby will have constant fun and loving interaction. For Drop-Ins during the week we are able to drop in anytime after 4:00 P.M. Monday-Friday but on the Weekends we will have more availability to drop in at any time of the day. We have a one story ranch home that is animal friendly. We have large chain linked fenced in yard in a quaint neighborhood. We have a 3 year old female Great Dane who is a big baby and loves to play with other dogs and gets along with cats. We have a cat who is a lover. If we need to go to a persons home we will be very respectful of their home and wishes.
“Meilan and Mitchell were excellent hosts for our two fur babies. Bruno has a sight and hearing impairment and they made accommodations to keep him safe during his stay. Bentley enjoyed the pets and cuddles from their kids and the photos let us know they were doing well while we were gone. Thanks again for watching our boys, we will definitely reach out in the future.”
“Kristy was amazing!! She sent pictures and updates everyday and was very communicative. She took our pups on an adventure and even went the extra mile and gave one of them a bath. Ranger and Koda had a great time and will definitely be visiting again!!”
“Hands down the best cat sitter I’ve ever used, five stars, ten out of ten. She kept my little baby happy and spoiled while I was gone, sent adorable photo updates every single day without me even asking, and everything felt so easy and stress-free. Seriously, if you’re looking for someone who actually cares about your cat like it’s her own, she’s the one. Book her now, you won’t regret it!!!”
About: I have loved dogs since I was a child. As a pre-teen, I used to go to my neighbors' homes to take their dogs for walks. Then, in 1993, my parents finally gave me my first dog—a black English Cocker Spaniel. I haven't been without dogs since. The first one was stolen when he was a year old. The second, another black Cocker, lived for 14 years. During that time, I also had a Yorkshire Terrier who lived to be 17. Currently, I have a 12-year-old female Papillon who came with me from Brazil a little over two years ago. I am Brazilian and qualified as a veterinarian in 2003. I spent six years working in a clinic treating dogs before switching to a different area of veterinary practice for personal reasons. Since moving to the US, I have been a full-time mom, as my youngest daughter is not yet school-age. I believe a meet-and-greet is beneficial for both parties; it’s a time for pets and their owners to get to know me better, and for me to get to know the pet (I like to fill out a form during this time to record details about them). I understand that just like us, dogs need regular walks to stay happy, healthy and mentally stimulated. If life gets busy and you're unable to take your pup out as often as you'd like, I'd be happy to help. I also offer loving in-home care for pets who prefer to stay cozy and comfortable in their own home while you're away. Services offered: dog walker, boarding, drop-in visits and doggy day care. I offer other pet services upon request. I am currently a full-time mother and homemaker, so I do not have a job that keeps me away from home for long stretches at a time. I have a friendly 12-year-old female dog, but she doesn't know how to play with other dogs; she’s a companion for quiet moments rather than playtime. I have three children—aged 4, 6, and 9—who adore dogs and love playing with them. I live in a house without a fenced yard. The raised deck has a gate and is a spot where my dog likes to hang out and watch the activity. I’ve installed a 34-inch removable fence in a small area where a dog can be left without constant supervision (provided they aren't a climber or a jumper).
“Damonte is incredibly kind, reliable, and generous with Kuba and Ashanti. He always keeps us informed by sending updates and videos, which gives us great peace of mind while we’re away. Our dogs absolutely love him and treat him like family. We are so grateful for the care and attention he provides, and he will always be our go-to pet care provider. Thank you, Damonte, for taking such wonderful care of our furry family members! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Highly recommended!”
“Cassie and Ben and their kids did an amazing job keeping our dog for a week. It felt like family was keeping him. They played with him and treated him like their own. They sent us pictures and videos throughout the week. We highly recommend them.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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 Bates City 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 Bates City.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Bates City 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 MO 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.
