About: I took a very active role in caring for my family dog until he tragically passed from cancer in 2019. I have also dog-sat for neighbors’ pets with particular dietary needs. Currently, I’ve been told by roommates that I have a very calming presence with our house dog. I work part time primarily in the evenings and when not working, I often have community theater rehearsals on weeknights. During the Mizzou school year I will have some classes during the day, though for no more than a few hours at a time. My current house is not available for pet boarding unless specifically negotiated. The property has a non-fenced yard and one resident dog, who does behave well with other animals. Neighborhood is safe, well-paved, and walkable.

About: Having 3 dogs of my own, I know how nerve wrecking it can be to leave your fur-baby with someone so i would love to give you the peace of mind that your pet is in good hands. I have been around animals, big and small, for as long as i can remember and love spending time with them. I am a stay at home mom so my hours are extremely flexible. i spend most of my time outside with my dogs enjoying the weather. I live on 130 acres and have a huge fenced in yard. our property has several trails that i love to take my dogs for walks on. there is plenty of space to stretch out and play.

Evie did great checking in on our animals while we were out of town. Our dogs have big personalities and this was our first time using Rover so we were a little nervous. Evie came to meet them first and seemed completely calm and comfortable from meet and greet to last visit. She even cleaned up messes they made. We are very happy with the service we got!

About: I have worked in professional pet care for 4 years and have been watching neighbors dogs for the past 2 years. At doggy daycare I have worked with all sizes and ages of dogs and am comfortable with all of them. I am currently and student at The University of Missouri but am still able to come to your house to watch your pet. I can stay at your house during the week or weekend, my classes are during the middle of the day so they can go out plenty of times in the morning and night. I have three dogs at home that I am very used to taking care of as well as my cat. I can follow your pets schedule so there is no difference in your care and mine.

I needed someone to feed my kitties for a full week over New Years and Alissa was amazing! She was super responsive and easy to work with. She made me feel reassured and sent so many pics while I was gone! I'll for sure ask her to check in on my pets any time :)

About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 8 years old. Ive spent my childhood and adulthood having them around to a point were life is not the same if they are not around. I am a responsible pet owner who puts the care of these innocent souls a priority 100% of the time. A dog doesnt have to wiggle its tail to fit into my space or schedule. Its more of a blend. Thats how love flows. I work remotely 2 days a week and 2 days at the office but my schedule is flexible. I treat any dog as if it my own. I see no differences. Their love is unconditional, and so its mine. During the time together, we are.

About: I’ve worked with dogs in many various professional environments: specifically KC Dawgs training facility, dogtopia and camp bow wow daycare and boarding facilities, and even the petsmart grooming salon. I have loved every single job I’ve had with animals and am in good standing with all of them after having to move to Columbia for college. I also have a good amount of experience with working dogs as I volunteer and shadow the MO TF1 search and rescue canines at least once a month! I have a ton of experience with animals who might have physical disabilities or need extra care. The white aussie in my profile picture was partially blind and completely deaf. I got to work with him for a 1-2 week board and train! I’ve taken care of countless breeds with various different exercise needs and food varieties. I also have a ton of experience with grooming and nail trims. I offer these for free for anyone who books a service longer than a day! Just let me know in private messages if you are interested ^_^ I have 2 dogs of my own and we live with my girlfriend’s dog. I am also the president of the Canine Sports Club at my school! When students here need help with their dogs (we are a pet friendly school), I am usually the first person they ask. I also volunteer for a program called Retrieving Freedom which allows me to help train and raise psychiatric service dogs. This is a program that meets once a week. My own dog (Tara, 4) is being trained on the scent of a low blood glucose to work towards being my service dog (diabetic alert). So we train on scent multiple times a week. My dogs get supplements, meds, potty breaks, play dates, training outings, and grooming sessions multiple times a week. My pets at home are all kennel trained, potty trained, and general house trained. I have a puppy who has higher energy and needs more supervision, so he gets naptimes up in his kennel more often than my 4 year old girl. The puppy is on hip and joint supplements which he gets with his breakfast. All my dogs eat out of slow feeders and wait to eat until they are released. This helps with impulse control.

About: I love animals. I have been watching both cats and dogs for years. Anything from Long walks, simple feeds or just quality time that they love. I been animal sitting for years and have worked it as a side job off and on. Open schedule being at home almost everyday. I can take care of the fur babies anytime. who wouldn’t wanna spend time with the cute animals. Clients home I try to respect what the animal is used to. If a client tells me they can’t go upstairs, no upstairs. I’m not one to disrespect or mess up peoples homes. I try to just spend the whole time with the animals. In my home I care for many animals with different schedules and let them have space but also give them the attention all animals need. They are like our babies and I think animals need loved.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Fayette on Rover is $22.85 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 326 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Fayette. 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 Fayette 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 Fayette. On Rover:

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 89% 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.
