“Karissa was absolutely amazing made the drop off and pick up very easy. This was Rivers first time with someone else that he didn’t know. She took amazing care of him. We will definitely use her again. Thanks Rene and Gary”

“Haley is wonderful, always giving me details as my little man's anxiety around new people and places lessens every day. As soon as I met her and her children I knew that they'd have a calming influence on him. So glad I found her!!”

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 10 years old. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied upon me to watch their dogs on many occasions. I work during the day, and able to watch dogs 3pm and after every day during the week and available during the weekends as well. I have a fenced in yard so we can play and hangout inside the house or outside with comfort. Always a good time with me
“Jennifer took great care of Barry and sent me updates through the day. She even took the time to give my pup's paws a little extra post-snow care. Barry seemed like he had a great time and I enjoyed my calm, cuddly puppy after a big day of play!”


“Ruthie was very accommodating to our hectic schedule while in town and was very patient with our 5 month old pup! We appreciated her kindness and communication. Would definitely highly recommend Ruthie’s services!”

“Ashlie and Phillip were great with my pup! Excellent communication both before and during our stay. Their home is a perfect environment for any dog who loves getting lots of attention and outdoor play.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life. I only recently, in the past couple of years, started taking care of other people’s pups, and I really enjoy it. I treat all pups as if they were my own. I am retired. I play pickleball quite a bit, but I am never gone more than a few hours at a time. My husband works from home, so there is almost always someone around to accompany your pup. My favorite part of the job is showering pups with love. We have mattresses on the floor and if the pups are willing, we love to snuggle with them. I typically walk them 4 to 6 times a day, depending on the wants/needs of the pup and the weather. I will be sure to check in multiple times daily with you and send photos and videos. I am very quick to respond to messages!
“Highly recommend Jessica. She did a great job of doggie daycare when I relocated and needed to care to bridge me during the first weeks. Will use again and recommend to all”

About: As a lifelong dog lover with 10 years of pet care experience, I know how important it is to find someone you can genuinely trust with your furry family members! I have firsthand experience caring for multiple dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and individual needs. From energetic, playful pups who love staying active to sweet senior dogs who need a little extra patience and attention, I understand that every dog deserves care tailored to them. I’m especially familiar with senior dog care, including assisting dogs with limited mobility, maintaining medication routines, and accommodating special feeding needs. I’m comfortable managing multiple dogs, following detailed care instructions, and making sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m dependable, attentive, and a big believer in maintaining your pet’s normal routine while you’re away. Whether that means walks, playtime, extra snuggles, or simply providing a calm and comfortable environment, my goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pet is in caring hands. I treat every dog like they’re one of my own and understand just how much trust goes into leaving your best friend with someone new! I work remotely full-time, which gives me the flexibility to incorporate pet care into my daily routine! As a pet owner myself, I’m already accustomed to balancing work with feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I understand that every pet has their own routine, and I’m happy to work with owners to maintain as much consistency as possible. My flexible work environment also allows me to accommodate different care needs throughout the week and on weekends, depending on availability. Whether your pet needs an energetic walk, a quick check-in, or some extra companionship, I strive to provide dependable, attentive care that fits their needs! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities! As someone with multiple pets of my own, including experience caring for senior dogs with mobility challenges and specialized routines, I understand how important it is to provide a safe, attentive, and loving environment. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make it a priority to respect their space, follow all instructions carefully, and maintain their pet’s established routine. I’m comfortable managing multiple pets, administering owner-provided medications according to instructions, accommodating special feeding schedules, and providing additional assistance to senior pets. I believe communication is essential to building trust, so I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos throughout each visit. I also take time to understand each pet’s personality, boundaries, and individual needs to ensure they feel comfortable and secure. My goal is simple: to care for your pets with the same patience, responsibility, and affection that I give my own!

“Jeanne has been amazing! Super flexible with my schedule and Winnie loves her! Winnie gets lots of love and play time, and plenty of potty breaks. Jeanne is always quick to reply when I text too. Highly recommend her!”

About: I grew up with cats and dogs and have years of real life experience understanding their needs. I've cared for high energy dogs, shy dogs, large breeds, small breeds, and cats with unique personalities. I'm familiar with basic training, leash manners, and helping pets feel comfortable during new routines. I pay close attention to each pet's body language and make sure they feel secure.

About: I’ve had dogs in my family since I was young. When I got older and moved out on my own, I ended up getting cats too. I currently have 2 cats that live with me, one was adopted and one was a stray kitten that I found in a thunderstorm. I’ve worked at a veterinary hospital doing tasks like feeding animals, administering medication, cleaning up after them, bathing them, etc. I have also worked at a couple of dog boarding shops. So, I can handle a lot of animals at once. I’m quick on my feet, especially when animals are getting too rough with one another. This happened a lot at the doggy daycares I worked at. But I know how to break up dog fights without hurting the pups in the process because of my experience there. I have been pet sitting independently for about 5 years, and I prefer it to being in a shop. I can have a closer relationship with the pets I watch this way. I’ve raised my own dogs and cats, so I know how to take care of them. I also know the certain behaviors to look out for, whether an animal is sick or not acting normal in general. I’m very attentive and your animals will be very safe in my hands. My passion is taking care of animals. I do this full time and I love every minute of it. My schedule is always open for your pets! I live on about 7 acres of property. The yard is not fenced, but I can take pups out on a leash. I do have 2 cats with me full-time but they’re very friendly. I also live in a split house, so I could separate them if needed. I’m also very used to going to people’s houses to watch their pets. I work best when there is a written list of what you need done. That way, I can check it off as I go. But I’m very thorough! I’ll get everything done and then some.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 443 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Hematite. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Hematite commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
As of November 2026, there are 443 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across the region of MO. Enter your address or desired location to see which available sitters are closest to you.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in MO ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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.
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.
