“Karen and Delbert is wonderful with our boys! They are very well cared for and loved while in their care. Karen is great to send pics and daily updates. Highly reccommend!”


“This was my first experience with Rover. From the moment I read Hannah's Rover profile I knew she was the perfect fit for our white lab. She kept is updated regularly with messages, photos, and videos while we were on vacation and loved our Max like one of her own. I would definitely rebook without hesitation and highly recommend her.”

“This was the first time using Rover and leaving our pup. After a meet n greet with Molli and her daughter, we were able to get our questions answered. We noticed Molli's calm tone and temperament which helped ease our minds. We liked that Molli only watched one pet at a time and would allow Ozzy to sleep on the furniture. We knew her daughter was excited to help out which meant even more attention and playtime for our sweet Ozzy. There were lots of photos and messages sent keeping us updated throughout the week. Everything about this process went smoothly. We will absolutely use Molli again!!”

“Courtney sent pictures and updates everyday, and she was flexible when I needed to pick my dog up a few hours earlier than I had first told her. Her kids were really sweet and I know my dog had a great week with them. This was my first time using Rover and it was a great experience! Thank you, Courtney!!”


“Ashlyn and her pets were fantastic with my sometimes-reactive dog. She listened to my cautious instructions and made sure my dog had a warm start-up to his week-long stay. Thank you!! Will be returning in the future :).”

“Sabrina is fabulous! We were updated regularly on how our dog was doing while we were away, which I SO appreciated! Her attention to our "second child" allowed us to enjoy our vacation even more! We will for sure use her again and HIGHLY recommend!”

“Lael and Shawn were wonderful to meet, and took tremendous care of our dobie Ivy. We have a hard time finding people to watch our girl, and do not feel comfortable leaving her with just anyone. Lael has a dobie herself and understands the breed. Ivy had a great time and we would love to rebook again.”

“Our dogs had a wonderful experience with M&J. They were flexible when our leave time changed. We also got adorable photos of them having fun with their new friends. These two are dog lovers and made our fur babies feel right at home. I wouldn't think twice about booking.”


About: I’ve always had dogs and other pets in my life, and caring for animals is truly my passion. I have extensive experience with high-energy breeds and training, so I understand the patience, consistency, and attention they need to thrive. Whether your pet loves adventures, playtime, or cuddles on the couch, they will be treated like a beloved member of my own family. My goal is to make sure every pet feels safe, happy, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. 😊 I am currently a stay-at-home wife, which gives me plenty of flexibility and time to provide attentive, personalized care for your pets while you’re away for work, vacation, or other commitments. I share my home with my German Shepherd mix, who enjoys regular walks, playtime, and daily adventures. An active lifestyle is important to me, so your dog can expect plenty of exercise, enrichment, and affection. Whether they need a walking buddy, a playmate, or simply a comfortable place to relax, I’ll make sure they feel right at home and receive the love and attention they deserve. 🐾😊 I understand how important it is to trust someone with your beloved pet. My home offers a secure fenced yard, plenty of supervision, and a friendly 8-month-old dog who enjoys having canine company. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a quieter environment, I’ll make sure they receive the care, attention, and love they need. I’m also happy to accommodate any special requests to keep their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. 🐾❤️

About: I've had dogs my entire life! My first pup that was actually mine was a Great Dane named Mazie. So I've definitely had experience with big dogs and am pretty comfortable with them. I've also owned pit bulls that ended up having puppies so I've been able to experience the complete dog journey from newborn to final bark. ( :( ) I do work full time but am able to do a drop-in during my lunch hour if needed. I'm also available most nights and weekends! I do work full time on the south side, but I get a one hour lunch break and can let your pet out or go on walks during that time! My evenings and weekends are generally free to help with pet care! I don’t have a fence, but I have a nice full yard and my dog Laney is super friendly and will keep your pup company!
About: Please send me all of your cute fur babies my way! Hi, there! I’m Korina. I naturally have a calm, peaceful presence, so I would be a great match for your anxious, senior, shy, low energy or more laid-back dogs or cats. What sets me apart is that I work remotely, which allows me to be present with pets throughout the day rather than leaving them alone for long periods. This gives me the availability to respond to their needs, routines, and energy levels. I’ve had experience with animals for many years. I previously owned a black lab named Aurora, and I currently have an orange cat of my own. I also have regularly helped care for my mother’s two dogs — a Maltese Schnauzer and a Golden Retriever — and I’ve looked after my sister’s dog multiple times in the past as well. Animals tend to gravitate toward me because I pay close attention to their body language, boundaries, and personalities. I’m very mindful of their cues and comfort levels, which helps me understand what they need more or less from me. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I’d be happy to give your pet the attention, care, and companionship they deserve. If I’m housesitting, I’m practically readily available. I work a full-time remote job that would allow me to be present and handle the tasks needed to care for your pets. I would have time to see them in intervals multiple times a day with no problem and with plenty of time for play. But if I do drop in visits, I can do 2-3 drop in’s a day. 1st at 7:00-8:00a, 2nd at 11a-1:30p and 3rd at 4:30p-10p - depending on my work schedule and the daily demand. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat the space with the understanding that it is first and foremost your pet’s home and safe environment. I’m very respectful of both the home and the routines that your pet is used to. I keep the environment calm, clean, and consistent so your pet feels comfortable while you’re away. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and house rules. I aim to maintain the same peaceful atmosphere your pet is used to. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, relaxed, and cared for, while also treating your home with the same respect I would my own.
“Selena and her family welcome your pet like their own. This was my first experience with Rover and my dog stayed 10 days with her. She was very kind and loves animals. Very grateful that I got to meet her and let my dog stay with her. Appreciate all the updates and pictures daily. Would use Selena again and again. Hands down the best experience ever! Thank you, Selena for keeping Christopher and letting me enjoy my vacation.”
“Stefanie took great care of Bonnie, my small dog, while I was recovering from surgery. Bonnie came home happy and healthy. Throughout the stay, Stefanie sent me updates and pictures. I will always use Stefanie as my dog sitter!”

About: Hello! I have two little dogs, I would definitely say my life is structured around both of them. I have a lifetime of experience around all types of dogs and other animals! I have been dog walking / cat house sitting for a few years and really enjoy getting to spend time with new animals! I live in a house with a large fenced in back yard that is safe and clean to roam around! We have a schedule of bathing, flea and tick treatments and special medication for my older chihuahua every month. My older chihuahua requires daily medication as well. I am very personable with my dogs, I speak to them often, they're definitely in the loop of things and get treats often. My dogs are my best buddies, I see all animals that way. <3
About: From growing up with dogs to living and working at a mastiff rescue, and now sharing a life with my goofy, sweet blue heeler, Simone, my love for and experience with dogs runs deep. As a good friend once said, dogs can’t lie, and we can’t lie to them. Building trust is my first priority. I have a flexible work schedule with lots of daytime availability and am often available for overnights with notice. Weekdays and weekends open for scheduling. I have a large, fenced yard and a dog door in and out of the house with the option to close-off if necessary. I have one dog who loves new friends and sharing her toys.
About: I grew up on a farm so naturally, I love animals. I've always been around dogs, cats, and livestock. I currently have a dog and cat of my own, so I'm always researching to better understand body language, vocalizations, breed specific traits, and positive reinforcement techniques that help me strengthen the bond between me and the animal. I also have volunteer experience. I started my first pet sitting job when I was 12 for my neighbors who were big travelers. Since then, I've fallen in love with the idea of getting paid to play with animals. I'm very thankful and passionate about what I do! I have another job which I pick my own schedule for around my Rover bookings, so my availability is always completely open. I'm flexible enough to accept same day bookings. I've grown up with pets of all personalities. My parents have always called me the animal whisperer of the family. I love learning about how their brains work. I understand their wants and needs and I respect their boundaries and quirks, which is why I think pets are so drawn to me.

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.
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.
96% of sitters in Elkland can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this 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 Elkland home-away-from-home, we recommend 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 Elkland.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Elkland. On Rover:
- 97% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 99% 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.
You and your Elkland 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 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.
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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
