“Sandra was the perfect pet sitter. Our little Sam loved exploring her fenced in yard and playing with her little fur babies. I would definitely recommend Sandra and will be using her again in the future.”
“Really glad we found Clarence & Lindsay! They were absolutely amazing with our dog, Suki, while we were away on a 2.5-week vacation. They made our trip completely stress-free! We received daily updates with photos and videos of Suki playing, running around their big yard, going on walks, and just having the best time with their 4 dogs & a cat! She’s a very high-energy dog who needs lots of attention and activity, and they gave her exactly that. it felt like Suki was on her own vacation too! 😂 They also continued working on her training and she followed thru with the commands she knows. It was so reassuring to know she was not only being cared for, but also getting plenty of structure and attention. I trust Clarence & Lindsay wholeheartedly with Suki and would absolutely have them watch her again. We’ll definitely continue using their service in the future. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pup like family!!!”
“This is the second time we have used Emily for our little one. She did a great job. Molly comes home like nothing has happened. That is a good thing. She usually gets back and is sick or sore after being boarded with our local boarder-I think they leave her in a cage most of the time. We will only use Rover and their caregivers from now on. Emily has been great for Molly!”
“Rebecca and Brad took THE BEST care of “Tink”! They really got to know “Tink” and it was very evident through the multiple pictures, videos, and daily communications. “Tink” enjoyed time with their “Briar Rose” 🐶 she taught “Tink” to use the doggie door and shared her bones! The only concern I had was that my dog was spoiled so much that she may not want to come home with me😅 I would give Rebecca and Brad ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️+!!!!”
“This was Rosie's second time and she ran to their door, wagging her tail, eager to play. Courtney was very flexible with us as we booked very last minute! Rosie's made friends with their dogs and always come home happy and ready for a long nap!”
“Echo loved staying with Deserae, she was loved and didn’t want to leave. Echo had the opportunity to run in open fields, see horses and cows and play with kids. Deserae sent multiple pictures and gave use hourly updates on how Echo was behaving. I will definitely be bringing Echo back to Deserae anytime we need dog sitting.”
“Elizabeth was so sweet with Murphy and took such great care of him! He got to go on runs, walks, and got to snuggle and play with her dogs. She was so patient and super responsive with tons of pictures. We definitely found our new sitter!♥️”

“Todd was super. Bella loved his home and yard where she could safely fully run at high speed. He let her sleep in bed with him! We conversed daily on how she was doing and he sent a video showing her fun with the other dogs. Just wish they lived closer to me so I could hire them on a regular basis.”
“Laura is amazing with animals and has her place set up for them to be comfortable and not just in crates! The big beautiful backyard full with toys gave my Koda plenty of room to do zoomies! I know our cat Victoria enjoyed all the hiding places within her home! Thank you Laura for sending all the videos and pictures of our fur babies while we were away! It really put our hearts at ease. Would definitely use her place again, I highly recommend Laura to families with cats and dogs.”
“Eric helped me with a last minute request to watch my dog Rumi for a few hours and it was a huge help. He was quick to respond and easy to make plans with. Rumi had a great time. Thank you!”
About: Hello, I own 6 ferrets, 2 cat's, a dog, a snake and a bird. I've owned animals my entire life and love all animals. Im a sucker for big dogs and especially Rottweiler's and Pit bulls. I don't mind house sitting and letting them out multiple times a day and walking them so they don't get to bored or lonely. I'm also happy to scoop litter boxes and play with cats or ferrets (I'm also a sucker for these little heathens). Also more than comfortable feeding any scaley friends. I don't have any problem with any animals, I've never met a dog I didn't love and I'm looking forward to hanging out with your fur babies. If you have any questions feel free to contact me.
“Rachael and her family made us comfortable leaving Boyd with them. She sent messages and pictures throughout our trip which allowed us to enjoy our time away. I would recommend her for your fur baby!”
About: Hi pet parents! I’m Marci, and I’ve been house and pet sitting for over 12 years with excellent references available upon request. I grew up in Southern Missouri around a wide variety of animals, which gave me early hands-on experience with training and daily care. Professionally, I’ve worked in both exotic and domestic animal environments, including a zoo setting caring for livestock (such as alpacas, ponies, and young camels) and aviary birds, as well as a high-volume dog boarding/daycare facility in Phoenix, AZ where I worked with 150+ dogs daily. This gave me a strong understanding of dog behavior, group dynamics, and handling dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. I’m confident with drop-in visits, walks, overnight stays, and maintaining your pet’s routine exactly as needed—including feeding, exercise, medication, and companionship. I especially enjoy walks, enrichment, and positive reinforcement training for puppies and energetic dogs, always prioritizing safety, structure, and calm, happy behavior. I’m dependable, communicative, and treat every home and pet with respect and care as if they were my own. I have reliable transportation and auto insurance for peace of mind. I currently live in Branson, Missouri and am a stay at home mom/photographer. My daughter is very gentle, calm, and accustomed to being around animals. I’d love the opportunity to care for your pets (or home) and give you peace of mind while you’re away. My daily and weekly schedule is highly flexible and I am available for pet and home care nearly always. If for some reason I am I available my calendar should reflect that - or just ask because I might be available anyway. I am very mindful and cautious, especially when it comes to animals and children. In my home there are no small objects or sharp objects that could harm or be cause for choking hazards. I don’t feed your pet extra treats that aren’t approved by you, and I keep them safe by making sure doors are closed so they don’t run off.

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 Chain-O-Lakes home-away-from-home, 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 Chain-O-Lakes.
<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 Chain-O-Lakes 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 , 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 .
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.
