“Alexis continues to impress. It did not take my dog long to go from anxiety to chillin’ with her on the couch. Alexis is timely, communicative, warm, safe, and considerate of my fur baby. My anxiety of being away for 10-11 hours a day has calmed down considerably. I would absolutely refer Alexis to any pet owner!”
“Cheryl is amazing at taking care of our dogs! We recently moved and she has helped them adjust to their news surroundings with kindness and patience! Thanks @”
About: I've lived on a farm my whole life along with my grandmother being a animal rehaber. I have also owned dogs all my life ,I currently have 3 of my own who I love dearly! I know how to give meds and I am amazing at following any schedule you have for your furbaby. I can do daily or weekly ,I am open all day . The only times I may not be is if something comes up personally or to spend time and of course take care of my own furbabies! I give them the best care possible I love to send clients photos or videos of me taking care of their furry companion or playing with them. I also am very respectful to their home if they have codes to get in keep it all confidential!
About: I’ve always had a love for each and every animal I have ever met! I have 4 dogs of my own, 2 female Great Pyrenees and 2 male Golden Retrievers. I take care of them on my own and have been working hard to have them trained well! I specialize in large dogs but have been around many small dogs and love any animals of any shape or size! :) I want to work on getting my dog training certificate in the future and would love to be trusted with your fur babies! I am currently working full time but have a schedule that usually gives me days off during the week and beginning of weekends! I usually work Sundays-Wednesdays at my full time job but am able to work around that! My dogs have a fenced in yard and doggy doors that they go in and out of consistently! Unfortunately my house is very full with the 4 of them so I am not offering anything in my house at this time! I love running and walking and am willing to do either with your fur babies! I am easy going and can adapt to different schedules and routines so that you and your pet receive the best possible care :) I will be open with you if my schedule doesn’t align with what you need so that you can find the best possible fit!
About: Hi. Not to sound cliche but I am an animal lover. I have done dog and cat sitting in the past for multiple families, for holidays, vacations etc. I myself have a big dog (Aussie) and 2 cats that I take care of. Im currently working part time with sparse hours with enough notice I will be happy to drop by and give your animal or animals some love! When I take my own dog for a walk I always make sure to keep them close, pick up their “business”, and always make sure to give them time to sniff!
About: Growing up on a 44-acre farm gave me hands-on experience caring for animals of all sizes and needs. Today, as a dog owner myself, I bring that same dedication and attentive care to every pup I watch. Whether your dog needs energetic walks, senior-care patience, medication administration, or gentle playtime, I tailor every visit to their unique personality and routine. You will receive clear communication and regular photo updates so you always know your dog is safe, loved, and happy! Pet care is my primary focus, allowing me to maintain flexible availability for daily drop-in visits, regular dog walks, and overnight stays. Whether your pet needs consistent mid-day check-ins, early morning feedings, or full evening companionship, I easily adapt my daily schedule to match your pet's exact routine. Your pet's safety, security, and comfort are my top priorities. In your home, I strictly follow all care instructions, ensure double-locked doors and gates, and maintain a quiet, stress-free environment. For stayovers or visits, I keep a close eye on pet behavior, provide personalized one-on-one attention, and send regular photo and text updates so you always have full peace of mind.
“Very personable, kind, caring individual. She quickly established a relationship with our three dogs and they looked forward to her visits while we were away. She sent pictures and reports fior each visit. We will ask for Simira for our next trip.”
“My kitties love Edyn, they were happy to play and get attention from her. My female cat can be pretty finicky on who she let's pet her, and Edyn is allowed to, so a big win.”
About: Hi there! I'm Raye. I have two dogs of my own, and grew up with dogs & cats in my household. I currently run my own pet photography business, and I also volunteer with humane societies :) I'm comfortable handling all sizes and personalities of dogs. Depending on what your dog enjoys, we can go for an adventure or simply enjoy a quiet stroll around the block. I am comfortable handling dogs that have reactive tendencies, and if there's any training you would like me to work on while I'm with your pup, just let me know! I run my own business, so my schedule is flexible. Because I have two dogs of my own, I am currently focusing on dog walks and drop in visits :) If you need anything done in your home when I come by for a walk or drop-in, just let me know! I am happy to fill water bowls and food as needed, or leave your pup with a treat to play with until you get home.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 258 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Baxter. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Baxter. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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 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.
