“Danielle is the best! She sent me a picture of my cat every day and quickly responded to any messages I sent. She took such great care of my little fur baby! Thank you, Danielle!”

“Paige is amazing and a dream come true! We have 2 dogs and 1 that is currently fighting cancer and that dog required/needed a ton of attention while we were gone. Her devotion, compassion, kindness, sympathy and the love she gave our dogs while we were away was absolutely incredible. We received so many updates and so many pictures each morning, each day and every night .... she went above and beyond to provide the best needs for our dogs (babies) and for us while we were away! We feel so lucky and grateful to have found Paige ... I honestly can't find the words to explain how amazing she was during this incredible difficult time for our family. Consider yourself extremely lucky if you have Paige care for your pets - shes the best!!”

About: Hi! I’m someone who has been surrounded by animals for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has always been second nature to me. From growing up around dogs, cats, horses, and other animals to learning the unique personalities and needs of different breeds and species, I’ve developed a deep understanding of what it takes to provide safe, compassionate care. I currently have a spoiled 4-year-old Rottweiler who has lupus, so I’m experienced with caring for pets that require extra attention, medication, monitoring, and patience. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, senior, recovering from an injury, or has ongoing medical needs, I understand how important it is to follow routines and provide attentive, loving care. I also have experience handling horses, which has taught me confidence, responsibility, and how to read animal body language. I believe every animal deserves to feel safe, respected, and loved, and I treat every pet as if they were part of my own family. Whether we’re going on walks, playing fetch, sticking to a familiar routine, or simply enjoying some quiet cuddles, my goal is to make sure your pet feels comfortable, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I know how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member with someone else, and I’m committed to giving you peace of mind every step of the way. I work 8-hour midday shifts, so I’m available mornings and evenings. Your pet’s routine, care, exercise, and attention will always remain my top priority. I follow each pet’s routine, provide constant supervision, ensure a safe environment, give plenty of love, and keep owners updated with photos and messages.

About: I spent my first year in animal care working at a boarding facility for high risk dogs; dogs who couldn’t be kenneled with other dogs, dogs with bite histories, etc, so I have plenty of experience working with nervous dogs or dogs that need a bit of extra warm up time. After that job unfortunately closed, I worked at another boarding facility where I interacted with 80+ dogs a day on average, and loved every minute of it. I’m hoping to move into more unique, one-on-one care with the dogs I get to meet through this. I’m between jobs currently, so I have full availability throughout the day (every day or the week!) to take care of your furball(s). I have a lot of experience with dogs that need extra warm up time or can come off at first as “aggressive” or “hard to handle”—in fact, these are some of my very favorite dogs to work with! I am perfectly comfortable with dogs of all comfort types and want to tailor care to each dog’s specific needs.
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 11 and have taken care of cats since I was 19. Several friends, family, and neighbors have trusted their pets in my care. I love animals so much I was even a vegan for three years! I'm available for dog walking and drop-in visits for both dogs and cats on weekdays and weekends. I'm comfortable and experienced with various breeds and ages. I'm very well organized and am more than happy to follow any and all detailed instructions you may have for how to best take care of your pet. I've had multiple roommates who've had dogs and cats and am comfortable feeding, walking, crating (when needed), and playing with your fur babies.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for all kinds of animals, from cats and dogs to horses, cattle, and other small animals. I currently work in a veterinary clinic, so I’m comfortable with pets who need a little extra care or have specific medical needs. Whether your pet needs medications given on a schedule, special care instructions followed, or simply some extra love and attention, I’m happy to help! I love getting to know each pet’s personality and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away. I truly enjoy caring for animals both inside and outside of the clinic! I am a full-time college student and work at a veterinary clinic, so my schedule can include some longer workdays. Because of this, I’m not able to provide constant daytime companionship or stay in the home all day. I’m a great fit for pets who are comfortable spending part of the day on their own and don’t require someone to be home continuously. I’m happy to work with you to make sure your pet’s routine and care needs are well taken care of around my schedule! I’m a full-time student and veterinary professional with a busy but carefully planned schedule. Mon/Wed: classes 9–4:50; Tue/Thu: work 7:30–6:30; Fri: class 9–11, work 12:30–6:30; Sat: work 9–12:30. I’m very dependable and always make sure pets receive the care, attention, and love they deserve. I want to be transparent that I’m not available for all-day care, but when my schedule allows, I’ll check in with pets between classes and during lunch breaks. I carefully plan each booking so I can provide reliable, attentive care. Your pet’s safety and happiness are really important to me! I know how hard it can be to leave your pets with someone else, so I want you to feel comfortable knowing they’re in good hands. I have experience working with all kinds of animals through my veterinary work, and I’m comfortable paying attention to the little things that can make a big difference. I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, medications, walks, routines, and anything else your pet needs. I also want your pet to feel comfortable around me and in their environment. I’m patient with shy or nervous pets and let them warm up to me at their own pace. I’ll keep things clean, safe, and calm, and I’ll communicate with you if I notice anything unusual. At the end of the day, I treat every pet like they’re my own and want you to have peace of mind while you’re away!
“Evalyn communicated at every step of the way and took amazing care of our husky. Ginkgo was so excited to see her and had the best time! I would highly recommend Evalyn if you’re looking for a sitter who is experienced, reliable and asks great questions. We will definitely be booking again in the future :)”

“Coral was an amazing pet sitter for our anxious kitty. It can be difficult to find a sitter that our cat is comfortable with. During the meet and greet, our cat was already rubbing up against her legs and wanting to smell her! During drop-in visits, she made sure to take lots of pictures and send detailed notes, which I really appreciated. Coral also cleaned up the house a bit (took trash out, started dishwasher, etc.) before she left, which was such a thoughtful touch. We (and our kitty) would hire her again in a heartbeat. Thank you, Coral for your great work!”

“Absolutely will have Matt watch our pets again!! He was super flexible- when I asked him last minute to come an hour and a half early, he made it work. My dog can be very anxious around men, he usually doesn’t accept head pets or like to play around them. My dog had no issues playing and accepting head scratches from Matt! Pets love him!!”

“Scarlet is a cat whisperer! Our cats are normally very shy and hide in closets for extended periods when visitors come by. Scarlet had them out and literally eating from her hand in just a day or two. They looked quite content with her as a sitter. Definitely recommend!”


About: I don’t have pets of my own, but I’ve taken care of dogs and cats from other family members. I also work as a caregiver, so I’ve had clients with pets that needed help taking care of them. I have experience with large to medium dogs, but mostly small dogs from puppyhood and up. And if you have a pet that has a strict diet you’ll be happy to know I am immune to their deceptions. I do have some experience with dog sitting overnight and I used to volunteer at an animal shelter, working with both cats and dogs. I currently work part-time so I can work around my schedule and check on pets after a shift. I’m free two days straight on weekends l so I can stay overnight if needed if you want a weekend getaway without worrying about your fur babies. I’d just have to discuss scheduling details with you so everything goes smoothly. The first thing I’ll do is look for any possible ways your dog may get out and secure them so the won’t be able to get out. I’d also try to double secure a leash in the event of one clasp breaking, the other will keep your pet secure.
“Myorie has done a great job. She follows instructions well, my dogs seems to like her and has helped me out a few times with last min request which I have really appreciated. Will continue to use her when she is available.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Drake
Fantastic experience with Jessica watching our 14 week old pup! She was thorough before her visits, ensuring she had all the information she needed to provide top notch care for our little guy. The pictures and reports we received were so reassuring and it was obvious he was in good hands. When we need a sitter again, she’ll be our first call!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Drake is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $19 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 3,440 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Drake. 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 Drake. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% 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.
