“Josie was really easy to work with. She even helped out my mind at ease by coming over and meeting my dogs before the actual day check to make sure it was a good fit. She provided pics and updates during the check in! I would rebook her for sure.”

About: All of the oldest photos of me feature an animal- I have been obsessed for as long as I can remember. I began caring for cats and dogs from the time I was probably 6, as I grew up on a ranch. In college, I worked at a boarding facility caring for primarily dogs. Along with providing daily care, I also helped bathe and provide nail trims. Now, I have my dog, Harper, who is a sassy pittie mix. I lost my soul cat in June 2026, so orange cats hold a special place in my heart. I look forward to caring for your babies!! I work full time, but am able to provide care before or after work hours and on weekends! I am committed to being as flexible as possible. I am very familiar with animals that can be escape artists- I have one! I am familiar with local vets and vet hospitals. I will make sure that your babies are being cared for like they were my own.

About: I've been taking care of dogs for many years, whether that be my own dog, my neighbors dogs, or my friends dogs. I have overall had a lot of experience with many different breeds and sizes of dogs. I am well equipped and comfortable to take care of your pets needs such as feeding, bathing, walking, administering medicine, and anything else your pet might need. I am a college student, but I also have a very flexible schedule with a lot of free time during the day to take care of pets. My classes are normally mid-morning and finish in the early afternoon, leaving me with the whole morning and afternoon/evening time to be free to fit pet care into my week. In a clients home, I will be able to take care of pets the way that you would if you were home! I would be respectful of your space while also being confident and comfortable enough to take care of your pet with ease. I feel comfortable around any size pet and any breed, and will be able to adhere to the required needs of your pet.

About: I have been dog-sitting for friends and acquaintances for the past couple of years. I am very accommodating and flexible. Whatever you need or request, I will do my best to fulfill it. My daily schedule gives me the flexibility to help you out anyway and anytime. I enjoy dogs of all sizes and attitudes. I work a very flexible day-to-day job that allows me to venture out and take care of your pet at most times of the day. I am also pretty flexible on days of the week and times of year to sit. I treat your pets as if they were my own. I do my best to make space for pets to choose whether they want attention or to be left alone, and try not to force contact. I also look to socialize the pet as much as I can fit in my strategy whether that is being present, going on walks, or letting them outdoors.

About: I took a very active role in caring for my family dog until he tragically passed from cancer in 2019. I have also dog-sat for neighbors’ pets with particular dietary needs. Currently, I’ve been told by roommates that I have a very calming presence with our house dog. I work part time primarily in the evenings and when not working, I often have community theater rehearsals on weeknights. During the Mizzou school year I will have some classes during the day, though for no more than a few hours at a time. My current house is not available for pet boarding unless specifically negotiated. The property has a non-fenced yard and one resident dog, who does behave well with other animals. Neighborhood is safe, well-paved, and walkable.

About: Hi! I'm a pre-vet student who has been working in a small-animal veterinary clinic for over 3 years and pet sitting for about 5 years. I absolutely love animals and enjoy getting to know each pet's unique personality! Working in a vet clinic has given me hands-on experience caring for animals, and I'm comfortable with both dogs and cats. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets, and I'll treat yours like they're my own. Whether it's going on walks, playing, sticking to their usual routine, or just giving them extra love and attention while you're away, I'm happy to help! During the school year, I would love to spend my weekends caring for your pets so I can give them plenty of time, attention, and love! During school breaks, I have much more flexibility during the week and can accommodate longer visits or more frequent pet sitting. I'm happy to work with you to find a schedule that fits your pet's needs and keeps them comfortable while you're away! I have a fenced-in yard where dogs can safely play and get some outdoor time, and there are no other pets in my home. I do have three roommates who are all comfortable around dogs and would be happy to give your pup some extra love! I'm also able to crate your dog if needed and will always follow your instructions to help them feel safe and comfortable. If your pet is more comfortable in their own environment, I'm happy to stay at your home or do drop-in visits instead. My goal is to make sure your pet feels loved, safe, and as comfortable as possible while you're away!

It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such caring hands. She took them on walks, gave them plenty of love and attention, and made sure they were happy and well cared for. We couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter and would highly recommend her!”

About: I love all kinds of animals! I have owned and cared for a wide range and animal's. My goal is to make animals have a great life. I am a full time student at Mizzou but my schedule allows for plenty of time through the day. I have many gaps between classes so I can check on anything in the middle of the day. I have lots of experience with many ages and levels of trainings of animals I have watched for friends. I am always up for a challenge and I am confident in taking care of your animals.

About: I have worked in professional pet care for 4 years and have been watching neighbors dogs for the past 2 years. At doggy daycare I have worked with all sizes and ages of dogs and am comfortable with all of them. I am currently and student at The University of Missouri but am still able to come to your house to watch your pet. I can stay at your house during the week or weekend, my classes schedule is pretty full so it might be harder for me to be at your house during the week day but my weekends are typically open and we might be able to work out a schedule for the weekdays! I have three dogs at home that I am very used to taking care of as well as my cat. I can follow your pets schedule so there is no difference in your care and mine.

“Kaila was so great with my new puppy!!! After a not so great experience with my first rover sitter, I was skeptical of having another sitter come help me watch my dog while I was at work. While there she was very attentive and caring to my new puppy! She even helped train with her for a little bit and sent continuous updates while there. My puppy absolutely loves her and I was grateful she was able to come help me with her :)”

About: I’ve been caring for pets since 2019, when I started helping my mom with her dog-sitting business. Since then, I’ve gained experience caring for dogs for friends, family, and acquaintances, including overnight stays. I’ve cared for dogs with all kinds of personalities and energy levels, and I love getting to know each pet’s unique quirks and routine. I’m happy to help with walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, and keeping them company while you’re away. I also have three pets of my own, so I understand how much our furry family members mean to us and how important it is to have someone you can trust. Whether your pup is an energetic ball of zoomies, a professional napper, or a little bit of both, I’m always excited to meet a new four-legged friend! I love a good cuddle buddy just as much as an excited fur baby ready to play, and I’ll make sure every dog in my care feels safe, happy, and loved. 🐾💕 Hi! My name is Aurora, and I’m a reliable, caring, and responsible pet sitter who genuinely enjoys spending time with animals. I have several years of experience caring for pets, including experience helping my mom as a Rover pet sitter as well as caring for dogs for family, friends, and other clients. I currently work part-time from Sunday through Wednesday, with shifts that typically fall between 2 PM–10 PM or 4 PM–10 PM. Because of this, I have the most availability Thursday through Saturday, as well as mornings and earlier parts of the day on my workdays. I’m happy to communicate about my schedule ahead of time to make sure I can provide your pet with the time and attention they deserve. Every pet is different, so I believe the best care starts with getting to know their personality and routine. For dogs, a typical visit may look like a potty break, a walk, playing with their favorite toys, spending time outside, feeding, fresh water, and plenty of attention. Depending on their energy level, we might spend our time going for a longer walk and playing, or we may simply relax together and keep eachother company. For cats, I understand that their needs can look a little different. A typical cat visit may include feeding, refreshing their water, cleaning their litter box, playing with toys, and giving them attention and affection if they enjoy it. Some cats are social and love having someone play with them or give them lots of attention, while others are more independent or shy and prefer to have someone quietly check on them and give them space. I’m comfortable respecting those differences and letting each cat set the pace. I would also be more happy to take care of other small tasks that help keep your pets comfortable while you're away, such as bringing in packages, taking your trash to the curb, or watering plants. If your pet needs medication or has a specific care routine, I’m happy to discuss their needs beforehand.

Five stars isn't enough for Karen! Not only did she take wonderful care of my pets, she handled an unexpected household emergency with care. When my carbon monoxide alarm went off, she went out of her way to bring her own detector to make sure the house was safe. Knowing my pets and home were in such great hands gave me peace of mind. I cannot recommend her highly enough!

Evie was wonderful! We had a last minute change to our schedule the weekend of our wedding and we were scrambling to find someone to help with our sweet anxious doggie. Even though I got home late and couldn’t meet her, she spoke with my fiancée and got everything taken care of and did a wonderful job with him! We would have her back anytime 😊😊

Our cat Walt is a heart patient on multiple medications who also happens to be very shy! Shannon met with us to make sure she would be compatible and we worked out a strategy to help ensure she'd be able to get to him and get him his medicine. She's calm and confident and it was a great comfort to know she was there when we couldn't be.

We couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter than Caileigh! She was absolutely wonderful with our two elderly cats and took such great care of them while we were on vacation. She followed all of our instructions carefully, spent plenty of time playing with and grooming them, and gave them the love and attention they needed. Caileigh also kept us updated throughout our trip and sent us photos of the cats, which gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were happy and well cared for. She even went above and beyond by watering our plants while we were away, which was such a thoughtful extra touch. We came home knowing our cats had been well cared for, happy, and loved. You can rest assured that Caileigh will take excellent care of your pets. We would definitely recommend her and will gladly have her care for our cats again!

Hailea did a great job with our kitties. One of our kitties loves attention and she was sure to offer it. The other was not as kind and Hailea respected his personal space. She sent photos of both kitties and shared their temperament during her visits. We don't go out of town often, but when we do, we will be requesting her again!

We had a tough situation where we needed to leave our senior dog with advanced cancer over a weekend. Ray was willing to take care of him, knowing that it would be a challenge, and he did a fantastic job. He administered pills 2x per day, changed dog diapers, cleaned up accidents, and followed feeding instructions. He communicated well and provided pictures of Darwin at every visit. I highly recommend.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Columbia

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Columbia is $16 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $28 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.

As of November 2026, there are 396 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Columbia. 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 Columbia. On Rover:

  • 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
