“Ashley did a great job taking care of our cats while we were out of town. She sent detailed updates at each visit and cute pictures from her visit. Highly recommend her and will use her again.”
About: I’ve had animals all my life l. From small dogs, large dogs, cats and even a few rabbits. I’m especially great with dogs who have special diets and/or need regular medications. I work full-time but with a semi flexible schedule. I am happy to check in on pets mid day. I’m also free most evenings and weekends. I treat every pet like they’re my own! I take the time to learn their routine, favorite activities, and individual quirks so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. Whether that means walks, playtime, cuddles, meals, medication, or simply keeping them company, I’ll make sure they get the care and attention they need.
About: I grew up with my best friend Reuben, the family St. Bernard. My love for caring for pets has never ceased. I love and respect dogs and believe that if I love your dogs like I love mine, they will feel secure and confident until you come home. Additionally, having been a homeowner for many years, I am a fantastic house sitter. I have an extensive frame of reference if something presents itself that I need to address or call to your attention. If you like, I can bring in your mail and water your plants. And optional services can include running errands, shopping in preparation for your return, running packages to drop off, weeding landscaped beds, organizing projects, cleaning projects, and anything that you’ve wanted to accomplish but haven’t had the time. I work remote part-time, so I can work from anywhere and am available most of the time for overnight stays, or just visits and walks. Taking care of your pet(s) in your home offers your pet(s) the most familiarity because we will follow your protocol and structure to which they are accustomed. Occasionally I will care for pets in my home.
“Nancy & Kevin were awesome! They treated Coco like their own & we don’t think she missed us at all. We would highly recommend them if you have a loving dog who is used to lots of hugs & attention.”

“I cannot express enough how grateful I am for Samantha!!! My mom lives in Aurora Mo and I live 9 hours away in Wisconsin, my mom ended up in the hospital and I had no one to go let her dogs out. Samantha answered my message for help in just minutes saying she could assist with taking care of the dogs. She was even able to let them out and feed them the SAME NIGHT as my distress message. Set up 2 more visits for the next day as well because my dad wouldn’t be home until later that night. Samantha made me feel so at ease with entering my mom’s house without meeting her, taking care of my mom’s dogs that are her babies and locking back up! I was grateful for the pictures she sent of them so I knew they did indeed go potty. I sent the pictures to my mom and she cried knowing they were being well taken care of. Samantha thank you for being my hero and taking such good care of Dezi and Rowdy while my mom was in the hospital on such extremely short notice!!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats my whole life and am rarely not taking care or around them. Many friends and neighbors have relied on me to watch their pets overnight, feed, walk, and most importantly give them love and attention while their owners are gone. I work part-time and have plenty of time to watch your pets! I never work overnight and I will be able to love and give your pups and pets plenty of attention and affection even if I work! I live in a fenced in home with a kitty cat named Gigi and two fur babies named Zues and Remi who love meeting new pups and will help distract your pup from missing you too much!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Battlefield
Ashton always goes above and beyond when it comes to taking care of our puppy, Rango. Rango is mischievous and still learning, and having a puppy takes a ton of patience something Ashton has in abundance. He always cleans up any accidents, plays with Rango to make sure he’s tired out while we’re at work, and consistently uses positive reinforcement so Rango doesn’t form bad habits. He is always on time and always communicates super well. It’s clear he genuinely cares and puts in extra effort every single visit. We couldn’t ask for a better caretaker. We appreciate you and highly recommend Ashton!!

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Battlefield is $15 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $22 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 Battlefield 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!
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 .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

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.
