“This was our first time using Rover and Paige was our sitter while we were out of town. She stayed at our house with our one dog for five days. She did a wonderful job! She worked well with our dog who has some physical and behavioral special needs. She gave us multiple photos and updates every day to let us know how he was doing and had great communication with us. She also followed all of our requests with our dog and kept our home very clean. We will definitely be requesting Paige to be our sitter again and would recommend her to anyone. Thank you Paige!”
“Kellie was wonderful to work with, was thoughtful and detailed, and took such good care of our dogs and our place! We highly recommend her and will definitely be reaching out again for future dog sitting needs!”
“Lauren was absolutely fantastic house sitting my senior English Bulldog over the past three days! Caring for my older pup is a slow unique routine, and Lauren was incredibly patient and attentive with her. Communication from her was clear and frequent throughout the days I was away. I returned home to a happy and relaxed Ruby. Couldn't have asked for a better sitter and will definitely be booking her again when Ruby needs a sitter.”
About: Is your dog passionate in the great outdoors with bundles of energy to go with?; if so I love sharing nature's experiences with man's best friend. Whether is hiking, running, a scenic walk, or just playing, I am always excited for a new experience. Rain or shine, winter or summer, day or night, I am always ready for an adventure. If your pup is ready to see new sights, explore new terrain, and experience a whole new level of play, I might just be their new Second best friend. I'm currently working as needed with best availability being in the afternoon's and night! I am available all 7 days of the week. I can also do early mornings on occasion. While we're on walks or having sleepovers, I'll have a backpack full of fun, with toys, treats, and water. So there will always be excitement and care no matter the time of day.
“Maria was excellent!! She is very respectful and responsive to messages and requests. She took wonderful care of our babies and pampered them with play and love. This was the first time we had ever left them and Maria made sure we had pictures and updates every day. We will definitely be asking her to take care of them again 🥰”
“Jonna not only took great care of my dog (and foster dog), but she was communicative with me all the time. If you’re a dog mom, you get this. I want pictures… I want how well they ate, I want how they slept, all of it. She did all of those things which helps me enjoy my trips away even more. My Foster dog is very afraid of new people and she did all the things needed to help her feel as comfortable as she possibly could… Considering. She is the best!”

About: My husband WFH while I love on pets full time! We have fostered through rescue organizations for 6 years now, always a rewarding experience! We used to do Rover full time in Kansas City KS, 2022-2024 before moving to our current house in MO. I helped raise 4 tiny puppies and found them furever homes. We have hosted up to 11 dogs at once utilizing 3 sections of the house as play group areas and rotation outside every couple hours. We recently fostered a puppy, Millie, who turned out to have a terminal life threatening illness. We adopted her and cared for her until her time to go was up. We also have a 6 year old dog that is now epileptic and on daily seizure meds. We have experience with all ages and medical conditions of life. As for training, I taught my first dog how to use buttons to communicate, crate train, and the regular dog commands. This is my full time job, my life's purpose, all thanks to my supportive husband who works from home. Every dog deserves the devotional and loyal love they give so freely! I am here to give back to them all the love they share and more. Through life I have learned that Safety and Trust are key to every relationship and home environment. Before integrating the dogs together, it is imperative I spend intentional time with the new dog to help it adjust to its new environment or to my new presence.
About: I have 40 years of pup to elder care experience. Training, care and presence for comfort and ease of the dog while owners are away can ease stress. Giving them attention and distraction will help in the owners absence. I’m retired and am wiling to take on all schedules and scenarios. I can feed, water, walk and administer medicine as needed and on schedule. I care for my dogs as if they are my kids. They are fed, cared for and vetted regularly. I would care for the owners dogs the same way or whatever way they ask me to.
About: Growing up at a house where we treated our furry friends like family has taught me the best way to grow connection with any animal. Currently, I do work full-time in the city so coming home to your furry friend so they have someone to spend Time would work best with me. The safety of your family is first in mind whether that be keeping them on a leash while walking them or making sure they get their medication's or eat the right diet trust that I will keep them safe.
About: I have experience caring for dogs by providing them with food, fresh water, exercise, and plenty of attention. I am comfortable with basic grooming, cleaning, walking, and maintaining a safe and comfortable environment for dogs. I enjoy spending time with dogs and making sure they feel happy, cared for, and secure. I currently work a part time job in the evenings and later into the night. I'm available on most weekend and in the mornings depending on my work schedule. I care for pets in a client’s home by following their feeding, walking, and care routines. I provide fresh food and water, exercise, attention, and a safe environment. I also keep the home clean and communicate with the owner about their pet’s well-being.
About: We love dogs! We are called first when any of our friends go out of town. We have cared for dogs of all sizes and ages from older doxies to young mutts and we love large rotties too. We are also okay with special needs dogs and we make sure your dog gets their medications when scheduled. Our lab loves to make new friends with dogs of all sizes. We have a nice privacy fenced in back yard with a kiddie pool to help the dogs keep cool during the summer even though they will spend most of the time inside. Please know that if your pup stays with us he or she will be treated like a part of the family. We love dogs! I help my Dad on his farm only when I'm not scheduled to care for a pup I'm hosting. I'm free to stay at home all day with your pet. I always keep an eye on what's going on. I'm usually outside if our pups are. If I'm watching a pet at your home, I don't make messes.
“Daemon and Taylar took wonderful care of our pets. We have two dogs and a cat and they communicated well, sent photos and left our home in great condition. The pets were happy, healthy and greeted us per usual when we returned. After texting and then doing a meet and greet with Daemon I felt completely comfortable leaving our babies in their care. It was so nice knowing this kind couple would be providing, TLC to our beloved family members. I highly recommend Daemon and Taylar!”
“Samantha was truly exceptional and went above and beyond in every possible way. From the very beginning, her communication was clear, prompt, and reassuring, which immediately put us at ease. While we were away, she treated our home and pets as if they were her own, showing an incredible level of care, responsibility, and attention to detail. She kept us regularly updated with thoughtful messages and photos, handled everything seamlessly, and even took care of extra things we didn’t expect or ask for. It was clear that she genuinely cares and takes pride in what she does. We came home to happy, well-cared-for pets and a spotless house—honestly better than we left it. If you’re looking for someone you can completely trust, Samantha is it. We couldn’t have asked for a better house sitter and will absolutely be booking her again. Highly, highly recommend!”
“We have used Dakota multiple times in the past couple years and she is amazing. Responsive, able to stay at our home, and doesn't mind our cranky 11 yr old chihuahua lol! Highly recommend her!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 265 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Cowan. 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 Cowan 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 Cowan 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Cowan 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 , 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 .
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 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 .
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. 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.
