About: I have grown up having various pets, but mostly dogs my entire life. I have a love for all types of dogs and pets in general. I have a dog that I have raised since he was a puppy. I have trained him to do multiple tricks and to obley not only me, but anyone who tells him a command. I have dog sat for many friends and family members when they have been away. I do mot have a lot or Rover experice, but the dogs that i have met through here have made a lasting impression on me and I cannot wait to meet more! I currently have a home with three small dogs that get along great with others. Myvprefrace would be going on walks with dogs after work .
“Stephanie saved our trip! She jumped in to care for our pets when our sitter had an emergency. She communicated with me so she was caught on the details about our dogs. I could tell by the pics she provided that our dogs received lots of love and attention.”
“Heather is the best! She’s takes such good care of our girls and sends the best updates. Our puppy lost one of her teeth during her visit and she even got the tooth and set it aside for us which was so thoughtful!”
About: I grew up on a farm with many dogs, cats, and other animals. In my adult life I have owned a cat, many dogs and a beta fish. I have worked and cared seniors, along with their animals, the last 6 years. I'm currently looking for a job so I have plenty of time to care for your animals. I am single with no children or animals at home so I have a lot of flexibility to come to you. I will follow whatever instructions you give to me to take care of your animals. Also if I am staying in your home, I will respect all of your rules.
About: My mom has been a trusted Rover sitter for several years now, so I grew up around this — it’s kind of in the blood. I’ve personally owned and cared for dogs, cats, birds, turtles, you name it, so I’m comfortable with just about any animal you bring my way. I have a large fenced backyard, a clean and pet-friendly home, and a very playful environment. Every stay includes treats, toys, and whatever adventures we can get into. I also have three dogs of my own — a Beagle, a Chihuahua, and a Shar-Pei — so your pet will always have company and will feel right at home within minutes.

“Emily was incredible. She made time to drop by and meet Lola, prior, to make sure she would be comfortable. She was right on time, took adorable pictures, and did a great job overall. Excited to find someone I can rely on and use again in the future.”
About: One of the things that sets me apart is my firsthand experience caring for high-energy, intelligent breeds. I have two Huskies and a Samoyed, so I’m very familiar with the exercise, structure, and attention these dogs need to thrive. I understand that active breeds aren’t just looking for a quick potty break—they need engagement, mental stimulation, and plenty of activity. Because I care for three dogs every day, I’m comfortable managing multiple pets, maintaining routines, and recognizing when a dog needs extra attention or a little more space. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, or simply relaxing with company, I’ll make sure they receive personalized care based on their personality and your preferences. I’m dependable, organized, and know how important communication is when you’re away from your pet. I’ll provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your dog is safe, happy, and being treated like one of my own. My goal is simple: to provide the same level of care, patience, and attention that I give my own Huskies and Samoyed every single day. Pet care is my full time focus, so your pet will receive plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship throughout the day. I’m available for boarding, daycare, drop-in visits, and walks on both weekdays and weekends, and I can accommodate early mornings, evenings, and many last-minute requests. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know how your pet is doing. Your pet will be welcomed into a home with years of experience caring for active, large-breed dogs. I currently have two Huskies and a Samoyed, so I’m comfortable with high-energy dogs, different personalities, and maintaining consistent routines. I have a securely fenced yard, closely supervise all playtime, and can separate dogs if needed to ensure everyone stays safe and comfortable. I follow each pet’s feeding schedule, medication instructions, and any special care requests, treating every dog like one of my own.
About: Hi! I’m Michaela, a certified dog trainer through Animal Behavior College (ABC). I’ve been officially training service and pet dogs for the past two years, though my passion for dog training began when I was just 15 years old. I specialize in pet dogs, and training service dogs for individuals with PTSD, psychiatric disabilities, and medical alert needs, and I also offer basic and advanced obedience training as well as trick training for those who want to have extra fun with their dogs! I love helping people build stronger relationships with their pets whether through structured training or playful bonding. I also enjoy pet sitting and dog walking, making sure every animal feels happy, safe, and cared for while their owners are away. When I’m not training, I love doing dog sports with my own dogs and encouraging others to explore new ways to have fun with their pets, ask me about dog sports if you are interested! I’m also experienced in caring for exotic pets, including reptiles and rodents. Dog training is my full time job! I can fit in quick schedules for dog walking almost anytime of day! And get in training sessions within the week! I’m also very flexible with boarding I have a fully fenced yard and two friendly dogs of my own. If your dog isn’t comfortable around other dogs, no problem at all I can easily keep them separated to ensure everyone feels safe and relaxed. My home is very dog friendly, with plenty of toys, enrichment activities, and space to play. There’s even a creek nearby where I love taking dogs for peaceful walks, and I have agility equipment for those who want to try something new and fun! Whether your dog loves to play, train, or just relax, I make sure each pet feels comfortable, cared for, and happy like they’re on their own little vacation while you’re away.
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.
“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: What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give every pet. I know that trusting someone with your furry family member is a big decision, so I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m patient, dependable, and committed to following your pet’s routine so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. This is my only job at the moment so I am very flexible. Soon, though I may do some substitute teaching but that is a nice job too because it’s also very flexible. I care for every pet according to their individual routine and needs. I’ll make sure they have fresh food and water, regular potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and plenty of affection. I pay close attention to their behavior and comfort, and I’ll follow any specific instructions you provide, including medications, feeding schedules, or other special care.
About: I worked at a vet clinic for 2 years, walking, feeding, and watering the cats and dogs. My main task was to take care of and make sure the pets were comfortable. I have two large dogs of my own who are the craziest dogs ever, so I believe that I can take care of the craziest of pets. I am also an Animal Science major in college, so I have some knowledge on how to treat and take care of animals. Also, I have a passion for animals and will do anything to take care of them so they are happy. I believe that I am responsible and mature to be able to handle the most playful of pets. And one of my favorite past times is playing with my pets, so being able to play with any pet is something I strive to make fun. Pet care will fit in around my work schedule. I work everyday during the week until 4-5pm. I am available on most weekends and most weeknights if needed. I know the importance of taking care of someone's pet. They are your family member, like my dog is mine. Therefore, I will take care your pet to the best of standard.
“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.”
“Jessica is great with our pups during drop in visits. Both dogs (even our spicy brained boy) seem to easily connect with her because of her thoughtful and skillful approach, which sets our mind minds at ease while we’re away.”

About: I have never lived a day my 34 years without at least one pet to my name, usually dogs and cats. I have taken care of dogs and cats through every stage of life -- from delivering puppies to training competitive hunting dogs and providing palliative care for aging pets. I have a medical background and am comfortable with basic medical care. I work at home and am generally home the entire day. I have total flexibility over my schedule so it's easy for me to adjust to last-minute changes. I live in a spacious one-bedroom apartment in a very animal-friendly complex with plenty of residential streets and parks for long walks and fun. You can trust me to not only care for your pet but to respect the boundaries you set forth in regards to your pet's care.
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.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Gladstone
Kamila does a great job with our dog when we need to be away. She is responsible, conscientious, friendly and reliable. She did a great job communicating, kept us updated and asked questions as needed- which helped us to relax and know our dog was in great hands. We would definately recommend her and really appreciate how dedicated she is to doing a thorough job. She exceeded our expectations and we will definitely be using her services again!
Erin did a 6 day drop in visit for my fur babies. My dog and 1 cat really liked her:) the other cats are Leary of strangers and hid but still ate well. I have no complaints and would highly recommend Erin to anyone needing a sitter. It was my first vacation in 2 years and I did not have to worry about the pets at all!
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!

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 .

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.
