“Tyler has been great with Castiel! He keeps me updated during every visit, which gives me a lot of peace of mind, and he’s been incredibly flexible whenever plans or timing have shifted. The whole experience has honestly been so easy and completely pain-free. I really appreciate knowing Castiel is in good hands, and I would absolutely recommend Tyler for both walks and drop-in visits.”
“Theresa stopped by to check on my two cats and she was awesome! I felt confident that the cats were well taken care of, she sent lots of pictures and was very responsive.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats since I was younger than 10, with experience ranging from playful puppies to senior pets who need extra patience and attention. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and provide companionship for their pets. I’m comfortable with multiple breeds, different energy levels, and unique routines. My priority is keeping pets safe, happy, and loved while giving owners peace of mind. Whether it’s exercise, cuddles, or special care, I treat every pet like they’re my own. Hi, I’m Madeline! 🐾 I’m a stay-at-home mom to my sweet son, who recently started school, and I’m looking forward to filling my extra time with something I truly love: animals! I’ve always had a big heart for furry friends and believe every pet deserves patience, love, attention, and plenty of cuddles. 🐶🐱💕 As a pet parent myself, I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets. Whether your pup needs a walk, a potty break, playtime, or just some company while you’re away, I’m happy to help! My goal is to make your pets feel safe, loved, and cared for while giving you peace of mind. 🐾💗
About: I grew up on a farm. We had dogs, cats, horses, chickens, and ducks! I miss having them around. I’m excited to help take care of yours! I am retired from the airlines, I paint part-time. I do travel, but I am very flexible with my hours! I love to exercise and walk daily! I would be glad to take care of your pet at your home. I love going for walks, caring for animals, giving them attention! You give me the instructions and I can do it!
About: Hi, my name is Philip and I love dogs. Through my life so far I have always been jealous of my friends whose parents allowed them to have a dog. But I take every opportunity that I can to play and care for dogs That being said, I have helped care for a couple of neighbors dogs and take them on many walks. One of them was German Shepherd puppy that I even was able to train and I grew quite attached. Whenever I am able to move out I plan to get a German shepherd for myself because of how much I loved my neighbor's puppy. I am currently working part time so I have a good bit free time on most days. I can walk or dog/cat sit weekdays and weekends most of the time until I get a full time job! I can care for a pet in your own environment however you would like me too, I'm very open and flexible as long as I have clear instructions and resources. I'm up to almost any task!
“Kelsey was fantastic! She followed care instructions, provided photos a d updates, and our kitty seemed to really enjoy the company while we were away. Would definitely book again and highly recommend!”
“Keesha was a great sitter! She was took amazing care of our 12 year old Maine Coon. The daily drop ins for food, water and treats was just what our grumpy old man needed during our quick weekend away. Daily updates/photos put our minds at ease knowing he was in great hands. Highly recommend Keesha to care for your fur baby! We 100% will be using her again soon!”
About: I spent 3+ years at KC Pet Project in feline intake, adoptions, and running the monthly TNR clinic for community cats. It's the kind of job where you meet a few thousand animals and fall for most of them. I fostered cats and kittens, spent a lot of quiet hours winning over cats who'd decided people weren't worth trusting yet, and helped place barn cats into new working homes. I'm comfortable with oral medication, subcutaneous fluids, and prescription or special diets, for cats and dogs both. I also love a good friendly dog, any size. Big goofy ones are my favorite. The only dogs I turn down are ones with a bite history or real leash reactivity, and honestly that's out of respect for them, they deserve someone who specializes in behavior, and I'd rather be honest about that than take a booking I'm not the right person for. Before all this I spent 15+ years in customer service and hospitality, which is probably why I'm a little obsessive about keeping you in the loop. Pet care is my main focus right now. I'm up at 6am and available through about 10pm, so early medications, on-time meals, and late evening check-ins all work. That matters most for cats on a medical schedule, if your cat needs fluids or meds at a specific hour, I build my day around it rather than asking you to adjust. I don't overbook, so nobody gets a rushed visit. Drop-in visits. I work through your instructions the same way every time so nothing gets missed: fresh food and water, medication or fluids if that's part of the routine, litter boxes scooped and refreshed, and then time actually spent with your pet rather than just handling chores. For cats, that might mean a wand toy session, or it might mean sitting quietly on the floor while they decide whether I'm acceptable. Either is fine. I tidy up after myself, check that nothing's leaking or wrong in the house, and bring in mail or packages if you'd like. House sitting. Overnight in your home means your pet's routine barely changes, which for cats is a real advantage. Same feeding, medication, and litter schedule, but with company through the night. I treat your home carefully: I clean up after myself, keep things where I found them, and leave it the way I got it. I'm happy to water plants, handle trash day, and keep lights and blinds moving so the place looks lived in. With either service, I follow your written instructions exactly and I don't improvise. If something seems off with your pet: not eating, hiding more than usual, anything unusual in the litter box, I'll tell you right away, and I'll ask before making any decision rather than guessing at what you'd want.
About: I have many years of experience working with animals. I also have a BS in Rehabilitation Services Education. I am a foster for several rescues in the KC and Springfield area. I love all animals and will take great care of yours! I am available any time. Set up your date and times at least three days in advance, cancellations three days in advance as well. Thanks. I am able to provide care in your home overnight or during the day. Whatever your pet needs are, I will be there for them.
About: While I’ve grown up with dogs and my family members continue to be dog owners, living in an apartment doesn’t allow me the space to be a dog owner myself so I am very thankful for Rover!!
About: Growing up I always had some sort of pet whether that be my bearded dragon, leopard gecko, cats, dogs, birds, all of it. I recently lost my disabled kitty but he taught me lots about medication administration, accessibility, and so many more things that are needed when working with a disabled or any kind of medical condition in pets. I now have a kitten and thankfully my childhood dog is still alive which I’m very grateful for. I’d love to spend time with your babies too! I live in Columbia because my boyfriend goes to Mizzou, but I currently am not working anywhere, so I can help you out anytime, anywhere:) I am very careful when it comes to pet safety. Like mentioned earlier my baby, Theo, is disabled as well as special needs. He takes medication and has to have certain accommodations around the apartment just for him. Making sure he is safe is a big priority as well as a big priority for your pet too!
About: 💊 Medical Professional 🥰 Doggie Mommy We all have to work to pay for treats and toys. Our fur babies don’t get that tho. Let me help walk and feed water and pet your loved one so you can get some stuff done. Thanks and I look forward to the jobs, as well as using the service so I can leave overnight and not feel so guilty about it. I’ll be glad to come by. Feed the fish walk the dog administer medication. Just ask I’m flexible. Burn out on my current career and taking some time off I have extra time and would love to bring some excitement and joy to a doggies day 😊 In our neighborhood, you'll discover a variety of dog parks, charming paths weaving through townhouses, sidewalks, and even serene creek areas. There's ample opportunity for your furry friends to enjoy walks, play fetch, and have leash-free exercise time to their heart's content!
“Michelle was very punctual and communicative during the stay. Kirara loved her and she sent photos each day. Definitely recommend for check ins or house sitting. Will most definitely book again!”
About: I understand that your pets are family. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I offer pet sitting, house sitting, dog walking, drop-in visits, feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, waste cleanup, playtime, companionship, medication administration (if needed), and lots of love and attention tailored to your pet’s routine. Whether you have energetic dogs, independent cats, or multiple pets, I’m committed to making them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own home. I’m reliable, trustworthy, and treat every home with the same respect I would my own. I believe in clear communication and will gladly provide updates and photos so you can see how your pets are doing while you’re away. Because I am a full-time online student, my schedule is incredibly flexible, allowing me to make pet sitting my top priority. Unlike a traditional 9-to-5 job where I would be away from the house all day, my school structure allows me to work entirely from home on my own terms. This means I have ample open blocks of time throughout the day dedicated solely to pet care. I can easily accommodate structured feeding times, frequent potty breaks, and mid-day play sessions without interruption. Your pets will receive consistent companionship, and because I'm studying from my laptop, I am available to provide the constant supervision, love, and attention they deserve." When caring for pets in your home, my primary goal is to maintain their regular routine so they feel safe and secure while you are away. Seamless Routine Adherence: I strictly follow your established feeding schedules, medication timelines, and specific instructions to keep their environment predictable and stress-free. Meticulous Cat Care: As a multi-cat owner myself, I know the importance of a clean environment. I scoop litter boxes thoroughly during every visit and sweep up any tracked litter. Quality Companionship: Because my full-time student schedule is so flexible, I don't just rush in and out. I dedicate genuine time to interactive playtime with their favorite toys, gentle grooming, or just quiet companionship on the couch while I study. Home Respect & Communication: I respect your space, leave it exactly as I found it, and provide you with detailed daily updates and plenty of photos so you never have to wonder how they are doing.
About: Hi 👋🏽 I’m 28 years old. I’ve loved animals my entire life and have had care giving experience since I was in high school (professionally speaking). I’ll be your baby’s biggest advocate and promise to tend to their needs whether it be cleaning up an oopsie to giving them cuddles. I say I’m willing to watch only medium to small dogs only because I’m 4’11! I love all shapes and sizes! I just wouldn’t want anything to happen to where I couldn’t be able to control a situation safely. For example, if the big puppy and I are going for a walk I don’t want to learn how to fly if he/she sees a squirrel! 😁 I’d love an opportunity to care for your babies. Feel free to ask any questions you may have. I’m currently on a sabbatical until December so my availability at this time is very open. I’m currently on a sabbatical until December so my availability is very open right now. I do an overnight schedule so I’m available from 3pm to 8 am. I’m willing to be flexible with this. Whatever your schedule is, whatever the rules, I’m willing to go the extra mile to make sure all needs are met! It’s very important to me that I show respect for other people’s homes as well as their fur babies.
About: As someone who grew up on a farm, I have experience caring for all kinds of animals, and I love them all. I’ve owned both cats and dogs, so whether you’ve got an energetic doggo that needs lots of movement, a homebody pup that loves cuddles, or a shy kitty who just wants someone’s presence nearby, I am happy to accommodate to offer them the care they need. I have provided lots of exercise enrichment for the dogs I’ve cared for. I genuinely enjoy walking, so it makes both of our days when your pup(s) loves walking too! I also run and would be happy to take your dog on a run if you’re looking to give them some extra exercise. If you’re looking for a friendly and trustworthy person who will treat your pets kindly and with love, please reach out! Are you going out of town? Working long hours? Having guests visit? Wanting more activity for your fur baby? Just need some extra help with pet care? I’d love to connect with you. I’m a part-time graduate student and have a flexible schedule right now, so I’d be happy to stop by for a walk or visit during the day, or stay with your pet if you’re away! I understand how important routine is to animals, and I am happy to accommodate your feeding, walking or bedtime routine to keep them feeling comfortable and cared for! Send me a message to let me know what your needs are and I’d be happy to discuss with you.
About: I have had dogs my whole life and would constantly take them for walks and care for them. I love animals they make me feel happy! I'm currently a college athlete with a part-time job. I am comfortable around any dog and willing to work when I have the openings. I am excited to learn about your dog and what needs to be learned when becoming buddies with your furry friend :) We have a fenced yard, keep eyes on the pets, and make sure they are comfortable and happy with the environments they are in and safe.

Paige did a good job visiting my cat and taking care of all the things I asked her to do while I was gone. He definitely looked well taken care of and was in a good mood. Paige was also very good about communicating and being available despite the time zone difference we had.
Maria is always focused on the animals, which I appreciate! When I returned, my cats were happy to see me but not aggravated that I'd been gone. That means that they were well cared for and got a lot of attention! I also value Maria's flexibility and her help with things like bringing in my mail, etc. I think she's great! Will definitely have her back!
Caitlin is great with our boys and an excellent communicator. She really goes above and beyond. She is our go-to when we need a sitter and appreciate her getting us in on short notice. She leaves our place very clean and from her report cards, we can tell she takes time to hang out with our boys and ensure they have enrichment.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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 .
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 , 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 .

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.

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.
