“Misti was able to help me out on short notice, loved getting updates, and Sophia was well cared for. I would recommend Misti and look forward to having her again. Thank you, Misti!”
“Laurie P. has done a couple visits for us. She does a wonderful job communicating with me and sending lots of pictures and videos! We definitely recommend her services!”
“Kyle has been a huge help working with our dog who’s got behavioral issues to make sure that not only comforts us but with our own dog. I would definitely recommend him to anyone who’s seeking help with those who need that extra time for your pup to open up.”
“Arrived timely, spent time playing with my cats and sent pics, which always eases my mind when I leave my babies ❤️ easy to communicate with and flexible with time”
“Virginia was very reliable and always sent photos and a detailed summary of her visits, so we always knew our dog was being well cared for while we were on vacation. We would definitely use her again!”
“Riley cared for our dogs in our home while we were on vacation. I was completely comfortable with her having a key to our home and her ability to deal with our dogs that are high energy and anxious. She sent TONS of pictures and it was evident the dogs enjoyed her drop in visits. She’s dependable, communicates well, and is knowledgeable about dog behavior. I can’t say enough great things about her and am looking forward to her working with and walking the girls in the future!”
“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!””
“Jenna was absolutely incredible! Super friendly, sent lots of photos, always made sure their food was full and their litter was clean. Gave constant updates which was deep appreciated as someone who is an anxious cat mom!”
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.
“Emily was great with our dogs! One of our dogs is epileptic and takes multiple medications a day so we wanted to make sure we have someone who has experience in administering the meds. Emily took photos of our pups every time she checked in. They both looked happy every time! My husband said that when he got home from work both dogs ignored him and were looking around for Emily lol. We will definitely book Emily again!”
About: I grew up on a farm, so I’ve always had animals/pets in my life. I’ve owned everything from small dogs to big dogs and cats. I’m a teacher so all pet care will have to be in the evening after school. I typically will finish the school day at 3:30. I own two cats and provide them with safe home environment with plenty of enrichment. I will make sure that your pet is well taken care of and they’ll have a fun time too.
“Maddie was excellent! She was patient when I had last minute issues, and was very accommodating. She treated my kitties like they were her own! I came home to very content and well-cared for kitties. 10/10 recommend and would hire again!”
“Marianne was absolutely delightful at our meet and greet, and the gang 🐾 loved her from the start! The pics each visit felt very personal, and I knew my babies were in good hands!”

Pet 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!
It took Sebastian barely a moment to get comfortable with Samantha! From the meet and greet, immediately demonstrated confidence and competence in knowing how to approach and interact with him, and watching him warm up to her more and more with each visit reaffirmed that I made the right choice as a first-timer to Rover! I will be requesting her services again without a doubt.
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Gladstone on Rover is $19.98 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 2,619 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Gladstone. 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 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.
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 Gladstone. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
