As always, Sierra was absolutely fantastic! She took great care of our dog while we were out of town for the weekend. She always provides detailed accounts of her visits, and takes lots of pictures so we can see our sweet pup 🥰 she provides enrichment, follows the care instructions to a T, and gives lots of love to our pup. I would highly recommend Sierra for any occasion! Thank you Sierra!!

About: I loved animals ever since I was a kid and raised and trained my dog Zephyr since he was a year old. I adore all animals care for two rodents of my own named Orchid and Meadow. I often petsit for my family and friends and have taken care of a wide variety of animals. I've taken care of pets of all ages from puppies to my senior dog who currently has from dementia. I am very patient and licensed CNA so I know how to handle a mess. I am a freshman in college though my classes are very light. I'm free after 9am on Mondays and Wednesdays, Tuesdays and Thursdays I'm free after 12:15 though I can come in earlier anytime before 9, Fridays can vary for me but I'm typically free after 9-10 am though sometimes if I have an exam it might be an hour or so later though I can always make arrangements if necessary. I care for pets by following their routine, spending lots of time with them, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m respectful of my client's homes and always clean up after the pets and leave everything as I found it. I After a procedure my dog needed to be crate trained so I know how to handle that.

WOW! LAURA was amazing! First of all, I booked with a different Rover person who had to cancel last minute and Laura stepped up without hesitation. That took a ton of stress off of me. Second, she was so sweet with my babies and took amazing pictures while we were away which made me feel better while we were gone. She went above and beyond and even printed them out and had them waiting for us when we came home! IT WAS THE SWEETEST TOUCH EVER! I hate to leave my babies at home but when I do I will absolutely get in touch with Laura again! She was the best!

About: Hi! I’m Lauren! This is my first time using rover but not my first time loving pets! My sweet dog loves with parents in AL and I really miss that special connection that comes with having a furry friend around. Rover gives me the chance to get some extra animal love while helping other pet parents feel comfortable knowing their pets are cared for! ❤️ I’d love to help with drop-in visits, potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and walks. Whether your pet needs a quick walk, some playtime and attention, or just someone to stop by and make sure they’re doing okay, I’d love to help. I’ll treat your pets like they’re part of our family and make sure they get plenty of love and attention while you’re away. 🐶🐱🐾 Can’t wait to meet you and your furry family members! I’d love to help with drop-in visits, potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and walks. I work full-time in the Plaza area, so most weekday check-ins would be before 7:30 AM or after 5:30 PM. I’m also available on weekends and can be more flexible with scheduling then. Alternatively, if you’re located near the plaza I could drop in before work, during lunch, and after work! I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. For drop-in visits, I’m happy to provide potty breaks, walks, meals, fresh water, playtime, and plenty of attention and cuddles. I’ll also send updates and photos so you know how your furry friend is doing! I’m happy to follow any specific instructions you leave for your pet, including their feeding schedule, medications, favorite activities, and routines. My goal is to make their time without you as stress-free and enjoyable as possible. 🐾❤️

About: I love animals—all of them. I've had animals in my home since I was born, including dogs, cats, lizards, guinea pigs, and more. Over the years, I've gained a lot of experience caring for different kinds of animals, and I've found that understanding them comes naturally to me. Animal body language and communication are things I pick up on easily, which helps me recognize when a pet is comfortable, nervous, excited, or needs something. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, but first and foremost, my priority is making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I'll keep you updated on your pet's status to ensure you have comfort knowing someone is keeping a watchful eye over them. Currently, I'm unemployed as I'm awaiting openings in an electrical program I'd like to get into, so I have more than enough time to take care of whatever needs you may have! When caring for a pet in their home, I make their safety and comfort my top priorities. I follow the owner's instructions and routines as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, medication, playtime, and any other specific needs. I also make sure doors, gates, and other potential escape routes are secure, and I pay close attention to the pet's behavior and body language so I can recognize when they are stressed, uncomfortable, or need space. I treat every home with the same care and respect that I would want for my own.

About: Hi! I’m Hailey, a lifelong dog lover with years of experience caring for dogs of all ages and energy levels. I work from home, so I have plenty of flexibility to give your pets the attention, exercise, and companionship they need. I have experience with puppy training and am trained in dog CPR. As a former collegiate athlete, I’m also happy to keep up with even the most energetic pups! My priority is making sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re in my care. As someone who works from home, pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily routine. With the flexibility of my schedule, I have the privilege of being available for your pets throughout the day. This means I can provide them with the attention, care, and companionship they need. Whether it's feeding, exercise, playtime, or administering any necessary medications, I can be there to tend to their needs promptly. Additionally, I understand the importance of maintaining a consistent routine for pets, so I ensure that their feeding and exercise schedules align with their usual habits. Rest assured, your furry companions will receive dedicated care and supervision, as I am always present and ready to meet their needs. The way I care for pets in my home or a client's home depends on the specific service being provided. Here are a few scenarios: In the client's home: Pet Sitting: When providing pet sitting services at a client's home, I make sure to replicate the pet's daily routine as closely as possible. This includes feeding them according to their usual schedule, providing fresh water, cleaning litter boxes, taking dogs for walks, and engaging in playtime or exercise based on their specific needs. I also offer companionship and affection to help reduce any separation anxiety they may experience. Drop-in Visits: During drop-in visits, I visit the client's home at scheduled times to check on their pets. I ensure they have food and water, clean litter boxes, let dogs out for bathroom breaks, and spend quality time with them, offering play and affection. Dog Walking: For dog walking services, I take the dogs on stimulating walks to provide exercise, mental stimulation, and an opportunity for bathroom breaks. I follow any instructions regarding route preferences, leash handling, or specific behavioral considerations. Regardless of the service provided, the well-being, safety, and happiness of the pets are my top priorities. I strive to create a comfortable and nurturing environment, maintain their regular routines, and shower them with love and attention, just as their owners would.

About: I've always been an animal lover for as long as I could remember! I’ve worked in various animal clinics and emergency centers. I am taking a step back from working full time. I am working part time in order to transport my children to school. I am always open on weekends, my availability is also very flexible during the week! We recently moved and bought land! So my 3 dogs have lots of room to run around whenever they want. There tails are always wagging and thats all the matters to me.

Sierra was so great with my cats - Oscar and Sydney - who are in different life stages, have different levels of activity, and want different affection and attention. Her communication from before the meet and greet, through each daily visits, and after the final visit was wonderful. The daily Rover update cards I received had full details of her visits and multiple pictures, so I never wondered how each cat was doing. We just moved to Excelsior Springs, and both my husband and I had to travel out of town for work unexpectedly. Sierra made the process of finding a new pet sitter a smooth process, and was very flexible with our short notice, accommodating a meet and greet in little time - making us feel comfortable that are cats were in good hands! Thank you, Sierra!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Excelsior Springs on Rover is $16.65 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 1,338 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Excelsior Springs. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Excelsior Springs stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
