“Jenna is an amazing sitter. She went above and beyond taking care of my 2 bengal cats. I was away for almost 4 weeks and she did such a great job watching them while I was away. I originally scheduled for 1hour daily visits, and through her excellent awareness of watching the cats, she recommended to change it to twice a day for 30 minute sessions as she noticed the cats were not as stimulated with only 1 daily visit. So she took it upon herself to see them twice a day to ensure they were properly stimulated and played with while I was gone. She even brought over her own toys for them like bubbles, which my cats loved. She did more than just play, she vacuumed, cleaned the apartment, cleaned the litter box, checked on food and water, checked on my mail, and even took care of some messes like when my boy cat decided to break into one of the cabinets and dump everything out looking for the treats. I could tell my cats really loved her and she took great care of them. She also sent me multiple pictures every day showing they were being well taken care of. I will definitely be booking with Jenna again in the future for my two cats. She did an amazing job watching them.”

About: I’ve been taking care of pets my entire life. From my own dogs as a child to helping friends and neighbors take care of theirs, I have over 40 years of experience, taking care of fur babies. Currently, I have a bernadoodle, a boxer, and a pug. We’ve had many boxers over the years. I’ve taken care of puppies all the way through senior dogs. I’m comfortable giving medication’s and taking care of your fur babies as if they were my own. I am a teacher. The dogs are alone between 6 and 7 hours on a weekday. I typically leave food down, but this can be modified if need be. I have close to an acre fenced in backyard so there is room for them to run and play. The dogs are never outside unattended. Our dogs sleep with us. Taking care of an extra pet or a few extras is no problem at all! I have almost an acre yard that can be gated off into 2 separate yards. If your baby is nervous we can give them their own space to play and run.I love dogs of all sizes and breeds. Our dogs are very gentle and different sizes. When your dog is on our care we will make sure it is safe and feels comfortable. I have space to keep dogs separate if needed. My goal is to welcome your pet into our pack and treat them like family!

About: I have always been an animal lover. I grew up in a home that always had a fur baby and as I grew up I have always had a fur baby of my own. I personally believe owning a pet makes a house a home. Aside from my personal experience with pets, I also was an assistant at an in-home pet sitting business for 4+ years. I currently work full-time as a nurse practitioner. My weekly schedule consists of 4 10 hour shifts 6:00am-4:30pm. I have all evenings available during the week for pet sitting. I have 1 weekday per week available and do not work at the hospital on weekends, which make them perfect for pet sitting! I will make sure to discuss your pets routine with you in detail to ensure their schedule is not disrupted when you are away. Consistency is important to not only us, but also our fur babies. Keeping things consistent and providing quality 1:1 time are a priority of mine.

About: Howdy there & nice to meet you, I am a kindred soul who has experience working in doggy day cares/boarding camps as well as volunteering hours at various local animal shelters. I am an aspiring pet groomer and will be taking classes for that soon as well. I turned my passion to vibe with furry friends into paid play dates. I am a natural care giver and would love to meet your little (or big) one! I work a hybrid in the field/remote job so my schedule is super flexible. I have to already incorporate my schedule around my rightfully spoiled only child (Lincoln, my 8-year old Husky mix). I also combine pet care time with my self-care routine for exercise/physical activity. (Work smarter not harder). I have a fenced yard/porch, as well as a doggy door built into the door that leads to said yard/porch and security cameras that cover the yard so we can always see what's going on. As well as various toys, treats, and walking equipment always available to all our furry friends.

About: I understand that your pets are family. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I offer pet sitting, house sitting, dog walking, drop-in visits, feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, waste cleanup, playtime, companionship, medication administration (if needed), and lots of love and attention tailored to your pet’s routine. Whether you have energetic dogs, independent cats, or multiple pets, I’m committed to making them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own home. I’m reliable, trustworthy, and treat every home with the same respect I would my own. I believe in clear communication and will gladly provide updates and photos so you can see how your pets are doing while you’re away. Because I am a full-time online student, my schedule is incredibly flexible, allowing me to make pet sitting my top priority. Unlike a traditional 9-to-5 job where I would be away from the house all day, my school structure allows me to work entirely from home on my own terms. This means I have ample open blocks of time throughout the day dedicated solely to pet care. I can easily accommodate structured feeding times, frequent potty breaks, and mid-day play sessions without interruption. Your pets will receive consistent companionship, and because I'm studying from my laptop, I am available to provide the constant supervision, love, and attention they deserve." When caring for pets in your home, my primary goal is to maintain their regular routine so they feel safe and secure while you are away. Seamless Routine Adherence: I strictly follow your established feeding schedules, medication timelines, and specific instructions to keep their environment predictable and stress-free. Meticulous Cat Care: As a multi-cat owner myself, I know the importance of a clean environment. I scoop litter boxes thoroughly during every visit and sweep up any tracked litter. Quality Companionship: Because my full-time student schedule is so flexible, I don't just rush in and out. I dedicate genuine time to interactive playtime with their favorite toys, gentle grooming, or just quiet companionship on the couch while I study. Home Respect & Communication: I respect your space, leave it exactly as I found it, and provide you with detailed daily updates and plenty of photos so you never have to wonder how they are doing.

Sierra did a great job with our kitties, as always! This was her third visit here, and the second time since we upped our cat family to 4. I feel very confident when we're out of town that our cats and our house are in good hands, and the cats are always happy to see her! Thank you, Sierra!

We had to make a last minute appointment with Sky, and we were so happy she could watch our pups. She was amazing with Cooper and Gracie and made sure they got outside and had all sorts of love. Having her there let us work without worry. Thanks for loving our pups like we do.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Excelsior Springs

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Excelsior Springs is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $22 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 1,294 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Excelsior Springs. 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 Excelsior Springs. On Rover:

  • 90% 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.
