“Sam did a great job wirh my animals, my house was clean when I came home. She communicated with me during the blizzard and was very confidant in what to do if the house lost power. I received plenty of updates on my fur babies. I highly recommended her for dog and house sitting duties.”
“Jessi was wonderful! She responded to messages quickly. She was prompt when arriving. She interacted with Buddy immediately by petting and playing. She was thorough obtaining information about food and care. She sent pictures frequently. We were extremely happy to have Jessi stay with Buddy.”
About: I've taken care of several dogs and cats for friends and neighbors, whether that's just checking in or staying overnight. I am avaliable to accompany the pets for extended hours or days. Pet sitting is my full time job, so I am usually available whenever! I'm able to either stay with the pets or check on them periodically. I am able to watch pets at a client's house, always keeping an eye on them and making sure they're doing alright. I prefer visiting and/or staying in their environment, making sure the pets more comfortable and less stressed.
“She took care of our pets very well, and sent pics everyday! For the most part I was able to relax and enjoy the trip, and when I did get anxious (pet parent 😅) she was always very quick to respond!”
“Chelsea was an amazing pet sitter! She sent pics and updates multiple times a day and contacted me to clarify anything she was not 100% sure of. I really appreciate that effort, rather than assuming things that could lead to negative outcomes. She was very kind, and my pets were extremely comfortable with her, which my Kitty can be VERY picky, and my dog Mac is very anxious. 10/10!”
“Rachel did a fantastic job!! One of my dogs can be problematic, and she handled the situation perfectly. Great communication and attention to the details. Would definitely use her again in the future.”
“We had an amazing experience with Rachael! She watched our Rottweiler, Maggie, for an extended period of time and took such great care of her. Rachael was incredibly friendly, kept us updated with pictures, and gave Maggie plenty of love and attention while we were away. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our fur baby was in great hands. We would absolutely recommend Rachael and will definitely use her again!”
“Brandee was wondering. She cared beautifully for our home and animals. She was thoughtful, respectful, and I knew from meeting her the first time,I could trust her. She proved to be reliable and we had a relaxing time away know she was in charge!”
About: I am a vet tech for my full time job and am in college to get my license. I’ve grown up around animals my entire life and have three dogs of my own. When I’m not working my full time job I’m either interacting with my fur babies or helping with yours! Typically available Tuesday and the weekends and the rest the weekdays after 6pm I have experience in animal obedience especially dogs. I have years of animal restraint experience for your pets safety and love to be active outdoors to keep them company.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs on and off during my college career. I’ve had dogs all my life. My summer schedule is super flexible and I am able to go care for your furry friend multiple times if needed. I start work late August so I have my summers open. I try to have a productive summer and scheduling your babies into my schedule would be a delight. I’m very flexible and very open with communication. I do not have a fenced in yard but I do have a large back yard. I believe exercise and lovings are extremely important for your pet to feel loved and comfortable while you’re gone. Routines that they are use to is also important.
“Maykayla was a wonderful house sitter. The dogs were well-taken care of & seemed very fond of her. We returned to a clean house — taking care of any pet mess. She communicated often & well with me —sent pictures and videos of the dogs. I would recommend her to any pet owner searching for a kind & trustworthy house sitter.”
About: I’m patient, attentive, and experienced caring for all pets, and I’ve recently adopted a puppy, actively learning and practicing positive training every single day, too. Pet care is already part of my everyday life. I start and end my day with feeding, potty breaks, and playtime for my puppy, plus short training sessions throughout the day. I build in walks, enrichment, cuddles, and any medication needs around my normal schedule, so pets in my care get consistent attention, structure, and affection every day I have a fenced in yard and one indoor puppy and one outdoor dog. I work during the day but come home on breaks to check on them. I also have my 2yro son every other week who loves to play with the dogs
About: I’ve cared for animals my entire life and have owned and trained animals professionally for 7 years. I would love to take care of yours! I work from home on my farm, Longhorn Arena. Meaning I am with the animals 24/7. I ride and train horses professionally and run a rodeo arena. I live on property and have the perfect set up to care for your furry friends. I have 4 friendly dogs on property, and the set up to crate several dogs if necessary. The arena is set on 30 acres of pasture land. So they can sniff and explore to their hearts content, including running in the fenced arenas, as well as miles of walkable roads surrounding us. We are off a state highway so safety is my biggest priority.
About: I live in an apartment in Branson close to the entertainment district. I have housesat many times around the USA and abroad completing a long-term position on a ranch in Yosemite, California for a year and a half, a few months in Greece with a parrot, dogs & cats, and this past year, in Vermont, Maine, North Carolina, Missouri with two horses, and Arkansas with a parrot. I currently have an open schedule, so I can be at home with your pet all day/night and be flexible with your schedule. I have no vehicle at the moment, so arranging transportation is needed for housesits and drop-ins. I am a lifeguard at The Branson Water Park, First Aid/CPR. I spend a lot of time getting to know the pets and give my attention equally if there are several pets. Taking walks, patting them, playing, and feeding them, calming them down if they are anxious without their owner.
About: I have owned pets my whole life, including domestic and wild pets. Dogs, cats, squirrels, coons and possums if they need me I take them in and give them what they need! Because I am single, semi retired and self-employed I am able to make my own schedule. I can be available seven days a week, 365 days a year! I have a 3 year-old blue heeler rescue male pup and 3 year old male rescue cat and they love each other. As of June 2026 I am under contract to sell my 10 acre glampground and have moved down the road to Jane, MO! BIggie is the glampground pup and interacts with all of the Airbnb guest pets with no problems whatsoever and they typically fall in love with him and bring him inside at night, although he prefers to have the run of the place outside all day and he won’t come in until he’s ready!!!
About: I’m a mature responsible adult with years of experience taking care of other people’s pets and have had several dogs of my own! I currently have 2 standard poodles that are my whole world. I am currently available to care for your pets whenever you need me. My job is as flexible as you need it to be to suite your schedule. I will follow your pet care instructions to the letter. I recognize that routine is important to animals of all types and will do my very best to ensure that they’re comfortable and feel secure.
About: What sets me apart is a lifetime of hands-on experience and genuine love for animals. I am a retired Quarter Horse and dog rancher with over 54 years of experience caring for animals of all kinds. Throughout my life, animals have never just been a job—they’ve been my passion, my pride, and my joy. I service BRANSON MO, TABLE ROCK AREA, I am Close to INDIAN POINT, SILVER DOLLAR CITY, AND THE CHATEAU OF THE LAKES HOTEL & RESORTS, 15 MINUTES TO THE ENTERTAINMENT. I live in a private gated and safe community. In addition to running a ranch, I’ve worked as a veterinary assistant, which gives me a deeper understanding of animal health, behavior, and safety. I’m comfortable recognizing signs of stress or illness and responding appropriately. I treat every animal in my care like family. Whether it’s a quick visit or an extended stay, your pets will be cared for with the same attention, patience, and love I’ve given my own animals for decades. Their comfort, safety, and happiness always come first. With my background, you can have peace of mind knowing your pets are in experienced, capable, and truly caring hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work during the day, but I dedicate my evenings and weekends to pet sitting, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, consistency, and care during those times. My schedule works especially well for pet owners who need reliable evening check-ins, overnight care, or weekend coverage. I make sure each visit is unhurried so your pets receive the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve. Caring for animals has always been a big part of my life, so even with my daytime responsibilities, I prioritize making time to ensure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I care for pets in their home by keeping their routine consistent and their environment calm and safe. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding, medications, and daily habits. With my background as a rancher and former veterinary assistant, I pay close attention to behavior and safety. I also treat every home with respect—keeping it clean, secure, and just as I found it. I provide updates so owners feel at ease, and I treat every pet like my own—with patience, care, and love.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 257 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Exeter. 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 Exeter 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 Exeter 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.
Tip: 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 Exeter 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 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 .
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 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.
