“Isabella is truly amazing. She kept us updated with pictures and videos ever step of the way. Our dogs are picky but not with Isabella. An we believe they fully enjoyed their time with her. We will be rebooking with her again soon. Isabella was true a blessing to find. Would highly recommend!”
“Liane was very accommodating on short notice and great with my pets. She made sure my pets felt comfortable in their own home and took time to give me updates. I will recommend and book with her again in the future. :)”
About: I have grown up with Dogs and Cats my whole life. I have also pet/house sat for family and friends through middle school, high school and now college. I have/had many dogs and cats who have been/are massive parts of our family. 4 German Shepherds, Apache, Zoom, Ranger and Camo. 1 Husky Cherokee and 2 Australian Shepherds Banjo and Max. I have taken pride in self training my dogs to be good K-9 citizens. Ex: “Sit”, “Waite”, “Down”, “Leave it” and not jumping. Some of my favorite activities with dogs are walking/running, brushing/baths, playing with toys/wrestling, snuggles, driving around and a snack never hurt anyone! :) As for cats I’ve had/have 4 (Dizzy, Yoyo, Bast and now Tiffany!) My favorite activities with kitties are playing with the string toy, brushing, giving treats and snuggling while reading/watching Tv/doing Homework. Of course I love watching them get the zooms! :) I am a full time college student with MIZZOU Army ROTC. During the summers I’m available most days/nights and weekends. As for the school year I’m pretty open as well. We will have to communicate and see what works best for everyone at that time. I was raised to hold myself to high standards and values some of these values are summed up best by the Army values, Loyalty, Duty, Respect, Selflessness Service, Honor, Integrity and Personal Courage. I believe you need all of these to not only be the best version of yourself but pull the best out of others, person or paw. I care for my pets by making them an important part of my life! I love to be active and take my dog on runs/walks and play. As for my cat when I’m doing Homework or relaxing after a long day she likes to snuggle me or play with her toys. My pets are my family, team and life. I keep them safe by keeping them in active parts of my life, researching the food they eat and have a great relationship with there vet!
“I am satisfied with Janae’s work. I left my cat for a week and the cat is still alive. Lol. She sent photos and answered messages quickly enough. The house was kept clean. I will work with her again. Very respectful, kind & responsible person.”
“Konnor was a great sitter! So easy to communicate with and was great with the boys during the initial meeting. The dogs were barely excited to see us when we got home so they were probably tired out, which we love! Thanks again, Konnor!”
About: As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member. I’ve always been hesitant to leave my own pets at a boarding facility, so I understand the peace of mind that comes from knowing they’re receiving plenty of love, attention, and personalized care in a home environment. Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I have experience caring for dogs, cats, ferrets, and other small pets. Whether your pet loves playtime, cuddles, long walks, or simply having a companion nearby, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I am a full time Ultrasound Tech. My work hours are 7-5:30 and off on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. My husband gets home at 5PM and is able to help with care as well! Weekend trips are perfect for me but if you need care through the week, it still works! I have a corgi and 2 kids ages 3 and 6! I also have two cats but they can be separated from the dogs easily if your dog hates cats! (the cats have the whole finished basement) I have a large yard for your babies to run around if they are trained to come when called. If not, I have no issues bringing them outside on a leash!
About: I’ve taken care of my own dogs since before I can remember and I watch my parents dogs on trips quite often. I also watch other friends dogs as well as I’ve done some overnight house sitting! I am a Registered Nurse at Big Tree and I have two dogs of my own but can stay overnight at your house if needed! I am available to watch overnight as well as during the weekend. I am willing to do medications as well as walks and play time! I usually can let the dogs out by 3-4 hours max!
“Breeonna was AMAZING with our boys while we were away! She kept me updated on how they were and not only took care of my boys but our home as well. I had absolutely no stress while we were away knowing my boys were getting all the cuddles and attention they're used to getting daily. When we got home, my boys were incredibly happy and healthy and our home was in tip top shape. Breeonna even went above and beyond washing all bedding, towels, took out the trash, and even did all the dishes. She left the place in incredible condition and I couldn't appreciate her more. I will absolutely be using her in the future.”
About: Pets have been a part of my life ever since I can remember, and their welfare is of utmost importance to me. From farm animals to domestic animals, I treat your best friends as I would treat my own. Experienced in senior care and puppy care as well as cats and feral cats. Have volunteered at a shelter with bathing, walking, and cleaning kennels as well as boarding dogs for friends. My availability is open depending on your needs and logistics for dog walking and drop ins. Prefer if walking the dog in the community earlier morning hours or later afternoon hours to avoid the heat. For dropping by, anytime of the day can work. I service the Eldon, Missouri, area to the eastside of Jefferson City, Missouri. Trips to the Taos, Missouri, dog park can be arranged. When caring for pets in your home, I abide by your rules and wishes and what your companion feels safe and comfortable with. Glad to send pictures!
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!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my entire life, always thought about being a vet but it never happened. I am in the medical field, I just help humans instead. I believe dogs are the most loyal animal you could have I your home. The love they give is unmatched, no judgment on us humans, they love us unconditionally. I’m currently not working due to the pandemic, I’m home all day taking care of my dog. I have time for your fur baby all day. I have a house with a fenced yard. I live in a great area as well. I have a fenced yard that’s a decent size. I let my dog out several times a day, sometimes we take car rides. I rarely use a kennel but if your pet is not house trained or can get destructive, I would recommend you bring a crate in the event I have to run to the store or something.
“Our doggos really liked Luke he did a great job with them both. Kate is usually very timid and she followed Luke like she's known him for ever. Vada is extremely active and he saw to it she got her daily exercise in. The ONLY reason he didn't get 5 has nothing to do with the care of our girl's it's because he turned our AC 10 degrees higher then we keep it so our house was 78 when we got home. It's 100° today and 2 hrs later it's still 78° in the house.”
“Kendal was great. Buster loved Kendal and I know will be anxious for her to return. She communicated very well while we were away and sent some great pictures. She even left us brownies and they are fabulous. Thanks so much for caring for Buster and our home Kendal.”
About: Providing quality care is very important to me. I have Veterinary experience and I am trained/ certified in Pet First Aid, CPR, Medication Administration (oral, topical, and injections), Providing Sub-Q / IV fluids, and I specialize in medical needs animals, and reactive or aggressive animals. I have had pets my entire life and I’ve cared for all different types of animals. Dogs, cats, snakes, ferrets, rats, guinea pigs, other small animals, horses, and even a Patagonian Mara! I do not have any restrictions on pets I can’t care for. I worked as a dog groomer so I have experience with bathing and grooming and would be happy to provide grooming services for an additional cost. I try to always be available in times of need. Whether that be an emergency, late night visit, or a last minute booking. This is one reason I accept bookings 24/7 unless we are traveling. I do pet sitting full time. You need an overnight visit for a pet with medical needs? No problem! You have a puppy who needs to go out in the middle of the night? You got it! Whatever your needs may be, I promise that I am willing to work with you the best I can! I will always make your pets safety a priority when they are in my care. Any instructions given will be carefully read and followed. Pictures can be sent, updates given, and lots of pets of course. Treats too if given permission first!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 224 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Centertown. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Centertown walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Centertown maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Centertown 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!
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 .
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
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.

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.
