“5/5 Stars “Stephanie S. was an absolute lifesaver while I was away! She came every day right on time as scheduled, no exceptions. She always sent the required pictures, which gave me such peace of mind seeing my dogs happy and well cared for. She played with them, gave them plenty of love and attention, and most importantly, she handled Jerry’s insulin injections perfectly. As a diabetic dog owner, finding someone reliable and skilled with daily injections is crucial, and Stephanie was spot-on following instructions to the letter with no issues at all. Stephanie is incredibly versatile, knowledgeable about dog care, and extremely dependable. She truly treats your pets like her own. I will definitely be hiring her again (and more frequently) as my work travel picks up. If you’re looking for a trustworthy, skilled pet watcher especially for dogs with medical needs Stephanie is the one! Highly recommend!””
“Thank you Rio for taking care of our dog! :) we know Greta has a unique personality but she became more comfortable with Rio and we love her taking care of her. Definitely we will keep her asking to pet sitter next time we go out”
“We came home from a nine day trip to our senior kitty happy and healthy. Thank you, Riley! She gave him his daily meds and made his food just the way he likes it. Pictures shows he got his required daily cuddles, too.”
“Second time booking with Jenna and she did great with Louie! Will continue to use her when I need someone to check on my Louie, as she keeps me updated and lets me know how her overall visit with Louie was :)”
“Billie Jo has been amazing. She was so quick to respond when I reached out to her and great at communication. She is on time every day to take care of my dogs. My dogs are always well taken care of when I come home. I don’t ever worry when she’s taking care of them. Definitely would recommend her services!”
“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!”
“Kellie was absolutely amazing. She went above and beyond to help us during one of the most difficult times in our lives. She was patient, understanding, flexible, and gave us such peace of mind allowing us to focus on being with family during the loss of my father and one of our fur-babies. I couldn't have asked for a better individual to come into our lives at our lowest point. She did such a great job with our fur-babies as well! It's not always easy working with stray/feral cats (which both out girls are), but she was amazing with them. I will definitely call her again for our next trip!”
About: Grew up with dogs. Had a cat. Love animals. Babysit my daughter’s dogs. Don’t have any of my own animals right now, so I can take care of other people‘s dogs or cats! I’m available all days from morning till three in the afternoon or for overnights and boarding . I can be flexible with my schedule because I am retired. I love walking dogs. I watch my daughter’s dogs quite a bit. We’ll go on walks. Have a big back yard so they can run and play in the backyard. They can sit in my lap in the house, we can play with their toys! I have a fenced backyard. I live on a quiet street. I enjoy going on walks with dogs. I don’t have any animals right now so I can take care of other people’s dogs. I used to have two dogs and a cat. They all lived to old age.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs all my life. I spent 13 wonderful years with my baby, Luda. For the last 8 years of his life, I made sure his medicine was organized and given on time, and that he never missed a vet appointment. I learned to truly listen to his body language. Even if that meant a 2 AM potty break. Let’s set up a meet and greet to see if I’m the right match for you and your fur baby! My schedule is flexible depending on the day. I am fully available from Tuesday late afternoon through Wednesday late afternoon, and Friday late afternoon through Saturday late afternoon. I am also open for overnight stays on Tuesday and Friday nights!On my other days, I work from 5 AM to 2 PM, so I am completely free for quick pop-in visits or walks anytime after 2 PM. If you have any questions about how your pet fits into my schedule, feel free to reach out! At this moment, I only provide care inside your home where your pets are most comfortable! For safety and peace of mind, your pet will never leave your property unless we have explicitly agreed on walks beforehand. I have a strict no-dog-parks policy to eliminate any unnecessary risks.While my profile is set to small and medium dogs, I am happy to care for large dogs as long as all exercise and potty breaks stay contained within your yard. Lastly, for the safety of everyone involved, a Meet & Greet is required before any bookings are finalized, thank you!
“Heather helped out on short notice for a drop-in visit to let my puppy out and give her a walk. I have used Heather multiple times and she is always dependable. I trust her with the care of my puppy and my cat who needs insulin shots and some snuggles. The house always looks great after she house sits which is fantastic to find after a long trip.”
About: I began pet sitting in college and fell in love with the experience. I have pet and house sat for about 5 years and am always happy to love on someone's beloved furry family members (only the kind with 4 legs, please ;). If you want someone to send lots of pictures and updates about your baby, then I’m your girl! I have additional experience in puppy training, home care, and multi-species households. I work from home, which allows me to place pet care as a priority in my schedule. This gives me plenty of flexibility for walks, play time, accident clean-up, and more. As I work from home, I am able to keep round the clock supervision of animals. I have a fenced in dog park that can allow for off-leash activities. I also have a very brave cat who enjoys meeting new people and pets.
“Jennifer C. Was amazing with everything! Very punctual, professional and great with maintaining open communication. She was patient with our dog, who has lots of energy and tends to be anxious around new people, which put me at ease when away. She went above and beyond and we will definitely be using her again!”
About: I’ve taken care of others pets or my own most of my life. I have had my current dog for seven years. He just turned 12 so I also have experience with geriatric animals as well I am a single father so my availability can fluctuate depending on if you are okay having a a 3 year old come and help (fully supervised) . Want to be able to best meet everyone’s unique needs! I will follow any and all instructions left for me. I’ll make sure your pet feels like you never left the house and that every need is met.
About: Hello. I grew up on a farm, have been around dogs all my life, worked at Critter Sitters years ago, and watch my friends' pets when they're out of town. Sometimes their babies come to visit me, especially if they're needing special care. I volunteer with my hometown humane society frequently. I am an active house sitter, which almost always involves petcare. I love taking walks outdoors, playing in the backyard, or in the park. And just laying in the sun on the grass Quiet time is important too, wuth cuddles and lovings. It's not all fun and games. Sometimes meds have to be taken, shots have to be given., and our buddies reassured that it's okay, that we love them. Treats help too. ☺
“We've had Emily stop in a handful of times now to help watch after our timid American Bulldog and it has been going great! Our dog can be on edge when meeting new people and warmed up to Emily right away! She is timely in her responses, flexible if our plans change, and patient/careful with our slow dog with hip issues. We know we have nothing to worry about when our dog is in her care.”
“This was our first time using Rover right before a long Holiday weekend. We were very nervous but had an amazing experience with Allyson as our pet sitter. She was able to quickly head over to our home to meet with us and our dog Finn. As soon as she met Finn they were playing and quickly bonded. Throughout the weekend Allyson exceeded our expectations. She followed all of the care procedures, asked permission to give Finn some additional time, and took him on multiple walks. Throughout our trip she shared some wonderful pictures and it was clear that he was very well cared for. When we returned home it was clear she took really good care of everything and Finn was doing great! We are so thankful for finding her last minute and will definitely rebook in the future.”

Laurie always does a great job for us. She did two pop in visits for our dogs while we were out of town for the day. Her communication is excellent and she sent us several pictures. We will continue to use her whenever we need someone to check on our fur babies.
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!
Adaline is AMAZING! We’re so happy to have someone we trust to come visit our puppy during the day while we’re gone for work. She not only ensures that our girl gets her potty breaks, but she also provides exceptional care with so much affection and patience with our very energetic pup. We couldn’t be happier!
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.

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 Gladstone 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.
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 .

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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.
