“Vernita was great. The only reason I gave her 5 stars is because there are not 6. She took great care of our temperamental, but sweet HUGE dog. (150 lbs Cane Corso) Our dog loves Vernita. Our home loves Vernita. We love Vernita. Use her once, you will never want anyone else again. She is the best.”
“Brooke is the absolute best!! We traveled to Springfield from the East Coast with our older lab/boxer mix, Charlotte, and needed someone to stay with her in our hotel room for 5 hours while we were away. Charlotte was completely comfortable with her and we were able to enjoy our time out without worrying about her care. Having a trained vet tech watch her made us at ease in using a complete stranger, and once we met her we knew for sure that things would go well. I could not have chosen a better person to stay with our cherished pet! Whenever we return to Springfield, she will be our #1 choice.”

About: I’ve been around dogs for a long time living with friends and family, so I’ve grown a special love for them/animals in general. From pit bulls and Great Danes to Chihuahua’s and bulldogs. I’m always available so I can accommodate whenever. The most my schedule might get taken up is I might be busy in the morning but that’s about it. Have no problem following instructions on how clients might specifically want their dog takin care of. Also very understanding that pet-caregiving can easily be tedious but love working with animals so things can always be worked out.
About: Trusted Dog Lover (45) Ready to Walk or Watch Your Pup – Offering Loving Care After Losing My Own, Let Me Help with Your Furry Friend! I have a flexible hybrid work schedule and spend time both in the office and work from home. Can do morning, lunch, after work & overnights. Hey there! I'm all about giving dogs the best care possible. I've got a fenced potty spot at my house and I absolutely love taking pups on walks. Whether your pup needs a quick bathroom break or an energetic walk, I've got you. I'll make sure they get plenty of exercise, have a great time, and come home happy and tired.
About: I have had quite the experiencing handling and caring for cats for the last 6 years, as well as handling and caring for dogs for the last 7 months. I currently work at a boarding/grooming facility so I’m used to dealing with dogs of different temperaments and needs. I have much more availability on the weekends as I work 7:30-5pm during the week, so evenings work best for me and my weekly routines. I will pay attention to their diets, routines, and what keeps them happy and healthy. I also have two cats of my own with a roommate that helps care for them.
“Christopher was GREAT with our pets! He tired out our puppy and gave the cat some good quality time. We came home to a spotless house and two happy pets. He was super communicative and always sent pics and updates. 11/10 would recommend for quality care and great peace of mind.”
About: Hi there! My name is Sam. I’ve been caring for animals since I was about 10–12 years old, when I got my first dog, and I’ve had at least one dog in my life on and off ever since. Over the years, I’ve also cared for pets belonging to family and friends, including my grandfather’s diabetic cat, which involved administering insulin injections. Now at 32, I bring more than 20 years of hands-on experience caring for animals of all kinds. In addition to pet care, I have over four years of experience working with seniors, which has given me a strong sense of responsibility and comfort when entering someone’s home and providing attentive, respectful care. I’m often described as friendly, personable, and professional. I would truly be honored to care for your pets while you’re away, ensuring they’re in safe, experienced hands and giving you peace of mind wherever you go. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I currently work part-time as an in-home caregiver on Tuesday evenings, Wednesday afternoons, Thursday during the day and evening, and Sunday evenings. Outside of those hours, my schedule is flexible, allowing me to provide reliable drop-in visits and attentive house sitting. Whether your pet needs a quick potty break, a meal and some playtime, or overnight companionship, I'm committed to making sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you're away. I've spent over 20 years caring for animals and more than 4 years working as an in-home caregiver, so I understand that inviting someone into your home requires trust. My goal is to provide peace of mind by caring for both your pets and your home with the same respect and attention I'd want for my own. Every pet has their own personality and routine, and I believe the best care comes from following the owner's preferences. Whether that's sticking to a feeding schedule, administering medication, going for walks, engaging in playtime, reinforcing training, or simply providing quiet companionship, I'll do my best to keep your pet's routine consistent and stress-free. I pride myself on being dependable, detail-oriented, and an excellent follower of instructions. I leave your home as I found it, clean up after myself and your pets, and treat your space with care and respect throughout my stay. While you're away, you can expect regular updates and photos so you always know how your furry family members are doing. My goal is for you to return home to happy, relaxed pets and a home that's exactly as you left it.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Grandview
I knew Beefy was in good hands when he jumped up on the couch, laid his head on Sarah, and fell asleep within 10 minutes of meeting her. Sarah sent so many wonderful pictures of Beefy and kept me up to date on everything! She eased my mind so much and that’s priceless to me. Sarah will be my go to from now on!
Caroline stayed at our house with our senior pup this past weekend and she was wonderful! She took great care of our dog, had great communication with us throughout her stay and was very clean and respectful of our home. Highly recommend her and we plan to use her again in the future :)
We loooooove Caroline! We had to leave our doggo behind for a family vacation and he is still relatively new to us. We love him and wanted only the best. Caroline was attentive, kept us updated, sent pictures, and cuddled with Whiskey during the 4th of July. We are very grateful to have her! Definitely recommend her!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Grandview is $30 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $23 and $46 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Grandview walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Grandview maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Grandview 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!
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.
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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.

- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 98% 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.
