About: I've had dogs and cats my whole life with different needs and personalities, I've also had family and friends come to me to take care of there pets. I'm currently working part time at a jackson animal clinic, i work 5-6 hours a day about 4 days a week. My schedule changes every week. I have a fenced in yard with two cats that are very friendly. Trust i will have full attention to your pet and make sure their needs are met.
“Stephanie was absolutely wonderful! One of my rescue dogs I adopted had been abused in the past and he is normally very weary of strangers, but he warmed right up to Stephanie! Stephanie also provided a lot of updates and photos which made me feel comfortable leaving them for a couple of days. I will definitely be using Stephanie in the future for our dog sitting needs. ❤️”
About: I have had pets all my life from dogs and cats to gerbils, hamsters and fish. Even as a young child I was primarily responsible for most of the routine daily pet care. I'm a trained CNA with applicable caregiving skills. I also have extensive experience as a shelter volunteer having walked the dog and played with them as well as socializing the cats. I'm currently self employed as a home care aide and wish to take care of animals in between assignments or during days off. I do not have any responsibilities that would interfere with me taking care of your fur babies. I do not have a fenced in yard but I do have a yard stake. I live in a townhouse with an open grass backyard. I regularly take my dog to The Liberty, MO Stockdale dog park and can take yours there too if that's your preference. If you wish I can walk your dog as many times per day as you prefer. My neighborhood has paved sidewalks and walking paths that I routinely use to walk my dog daily. I have one cat and one dog and each get along with other cats and dogs very well but should there be any unforeseen issue, I can put your pet in my spare bedroom. I also own a wire dog crate for large dogs. I can crate your pet in your home or my home if you wish me to. I will take care of him or her in whichever way you prefer. I do not crate my dog but I did as a puppy to facilitate his potty training. My dog sleeps with me at night as does my cat sometimes. Both are friendly and well socialized but again, I can put either in a spare room or your pet if necessary. Both my pets are up to date on their vaccinations and they get a monthly pill for flea and tick prevention. I can do everything from long or short walks, taking them outside for potty breaks, administering food or medicine, playtime, etc.
“Emily did an amazing job! When it was raining outside, she made sure to work out Sage's excess energy inside. We would highly recommend Emily (except for the times that we need her).”
About: i’ve owned dogs on my own for 10 years, worked professionally with dogs for 7 years in a kennel/day care environment. i have worked with dogs of different temperaments and sizes and ages and have training in pet health, safety, and body language. i work full time, with a set schedule. i am more than happy to come by to see your babies before or after work as well as on my days off. i personally walk my dogs on properly fitted harnesses on 4 ft leashes, one of them with a muzzle. i am open to 6 ft leashes, retractable leashes, prong collars, muzzles, backyard play, whatever your pup needs !!
“Jennifer was such a thoughtful and compassionate person who gave Gunner his own time and space to warm up to her. Thanks for your recommendation about slow feeder bowl for Gunner!!”
“Paola has been such a wonderful life saver! She was able to help me last minute, adapt to an off-time schedule, and made sure my pup was taken care of so I had one less thing to worry about while I was at work. I’ve utilized her services multiple times and will definitely continue to ask for her help.”
“I'm thrilled to have found Emma on Rover as my new go-to pet sitter for Popcorn (my cat). Popcorn warmed up to Emma immediately, and Emma was communicative and a real cat pro. I loved the photos she sent while we were on vacation.”
“She is very reliable and communicative when she watched my 2 dogs for the 4th of July weekend. I am very appreciative to have found her and definitely recommend her to anyone needing a great dog sitter. Thank you Hannah!”
“We had an amazing experience with Laura this weekend! She took wonderful care of our dog, Greta, and made sure she was happy and loved while we were away. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about Greta’s well-being. We’re so grateful for her help and wouldn’t hesitate to book her again. Highly recommend!”
About: Hi there! I'm a lifelong animal lover, outdoor enthusiast, and firm believer that every walk should be the highlight of your dog's day. With over 20 years of experience walking dogs, I've met just about every personality - from energetic puppies to wise senior pups and even a few delightfully stubborn leash-pullers! I also spent time as a school farm tour guide, working with a variety of animals and learning how to confidently handle all kinds of temperaments. Whether your dog loves to power walk, stop and sniff every flower, or is still learning good leash manners, I'm happy to meet them where they are. I have experience leash training puppies and helping even the most determined dogs become more enjoyable walking companions using patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement. You can count on me for safe, reliable care, plenty of exercise, lots of encouragement, and, of course, adorable photo updates along the way. My goal is simple: send your pup home happy, tired, and already looking forward to our next adventure together. I can't wait to become your dog's new favorite walking buddy! I work part-time and am also a stay-at-home wife and mom, giving me a flexible schedule that's perfect for dog walking. I love being active and outdoors, so I'm available for dependable walks and plenty of one-on-one attention for your pup! Your dog's safety is always my top priority. I'll use secure leashing practices, stay alert to our surroundings, avoid unsafe situations, and tailor each walk to your dog's comfort and energy level. You can trust that your pup will be treated with the same care and attention I'd give my own.
About: Hey y'all! I'm a looooong time fur mom and lover of all animals. We have a 3 goofy rescues Innu, Brodie Lee and lil sis Alora, but we want to help 'em make more friends! They are SUPER dog friendly and so are we. We take them on walks through our neighborhood and local parks which can lead to off path walking, so I may have to give a bath to your fur babies. We live in a hard wood floor house so accidents are no sweat to us! Our home is well kept and very animal friendly. I've worked in shelters, rescues, and have had many rehabilitated and injured fur babies throughout my life. My kids are my helpers as they are ready for new dogs with different levels of activities and have learned basic training methods from following me. We're here to be the safest and BEST sitters in the metro! I work remotely from my office which looks out into the back yard and allots me a great deal of time to really bond and have a good time sitting others pups! With all to do in the city I just know your pups will enjoy us as much as ours do. I have a oddly terrained fenced yard with a flat patio and tons of shady spots for the dogs to lounge for as long as they please (weather permitting). I leave a big ole' water bowl out there as well - holds 2 gallons and I fill it every day at the beginning and throughout the day.
“Molly was amazing! She took excellent care of our dogs, one needing a little extra attention & medication which she handled in stride. She provided detailed trip summaries and lots of photos- she could be a dog photographer! They were so good. Would definitely recommend and hope to use her services again in the future.”
“Josie was great! She kept the communication going while we were out of town so we were always kept up to date on Wrigley and if she had any questions or anything. She knew how to introduce herself to him so he felt comfortable while we were gone, and that was the most important part for us. We'll definitely be using Josie again next time we need a dog walker”
“We are so glad we found Tamara to watch our boys! Our cats can be timid around new people, but she has been very patient and friendly and now it seems like they look forward to seeing her! We will always ask Tamara to watch our cats!”

I’ve booked Theresa for drop-in visits four times now for my senior dog Grendel and will continue to use her regularly! She’s very communicative—quick to respond and gives detailed summaries of her visits—and the photo series she sends of Grendel are so cute and a highlight of my day. I can tell from the look on his face that he’s having a great time with Theresa!
Paola has been such a wonderful life saver! She was able to help me last minute, adapt to an off-time schedule, and made sure my pup was taken care of so I had one less thing to worry about while I was at work. I’ve utilized her services multiple times and will definitely continue to ask for her help.
Meghan did a great job taking care of both of our did while we we're out of town! She did all of the necessary things plus she played, loved on and sent us great reports and pictures! 10/10 I would definitely recommend her and use her again next time we go out of town!
Grace does an amazing job with my crew. We have 2 Cane Corso mastiffs (one with high anxiety), a Boston Terrier (hello crazy energy), and 3 cats (one that takes meds and they all eat on a strict schedule). She has done in-home pet sitting for extended trips and also drop in visits as needed. Our animals are always cared for. Our animals trust her and that is huge with us feeling comfortable leaving them. We have never had any concerns with having Grace in our home alone. She is respectful of our house and rules we set. Grace is top notch when it comes to pet sitting and I will always highly recommend her!
Kayla was super kind and helped me out last minute. She also was willing to come over and meet the animals while I was there before helping me out. She did show up a little late, which made me nervous since I’m quite a ways away at work. I was hopeful she’d spend the full 30 mins with Tilly to run around the yard and wear her out since she’s just a new pup and is being kenneled all day and give her more time in case she needed to poop, but she did play with her for a short bit.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Gladstone stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

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.
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 Gladstone 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!
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Gladstone with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
