About: I’ve been taking care of animals ever since I was a kid! I currently have three dogs of my very own who I love more than anything. I’ve recently gained experience taking care of chickens and ducks as well! I can take care of pretty much any animal as long as I am comfortable doing so and shown what to do beforehand 😊 My schedule is currently very flexible. I’m good with set schedules as long as they fit my own, or just sporadic check ups! I am currently a stay at home mom during the day and have a part time job 3 nights a week. Please note that during the week I may bring my kids with me for walks or drop ins, but they will be in a car seat/stroller the entire time. 😊 I’ve recently decided to start doggy day care in my home! This will be up to my own discretion since I have two younger children in the home and three dogs as well, so I want to make sure all pets are a good fit!
About: I’m Yulian but also known as Julie! I’ve always loved dogs, especially when I was young. I was like any typical kid, wishing and hoping my parents would give me a dog. I would dog sit a lot of family friends pets and always felt drawn to them. If I’m at work or house sitting, my husband is home so don’t worry your pets will never be on their own. I live in an a 4-plex house, and have 1 dog but she’s extremely lovable and loves meeting new paw friends! I do also take her on walks and runs in the mornings/sometimes evenings, I would be more than happy to bring your dog along. I treat others pets like if they were my own. I know how nerve wracking it can be to leave your pet(s) somewhere you’re not around, but I’ll make sure to make them feel loved. As mentioned I’m a fairly active person, so I would be willing to take your pet on a walk or even the dog park. As well If needed I can administer medication and take them a bath!
About: I have an extensive understanding over dogs, cats, horses, exotics, and even the common goldfish all the way down to a medical understanding! (I’m in school to be a veterinary technician) Being raised on a farm I’ve been around just about every animal and feel that I’m extremely equipped for any situation that may arise. I have a large knowledge over geriatrics, high-low energy, overcoming anxiety and stressors, and even offer my own training exercises with every client. Not only do I love animals, but with my high energy and love for the outdoors and exploring, I feel that your pet will love me just the same! Seeing that I have my own two pups, I have rounded out a schedule for myself that leaves me very free for your pets needs! All I need is a message and I’ll be on the way! If your pet is more equipped for Long distance running or sniffing off leash, I have my family farm roughly 20 mins from Sedalia that I would be more than happy to take them to for a new experience! If your pup is more adapted to an in town walk around, I also have an apartment in downtown Sedalia and a perfected walking route that has been tested with my pooch! Being in Sedalia for a year now, we have also found some very nice enclosed doggy parks that we’ve come to love as well as other great places that no dogs can resist! With in house care, I am home almost 100% of the time so whether we are at my house or yours, time will be spent!

I have a little over five years of experience in petsitting, I am currently in online school to get my veterinary assistant certificate and I am available all hours of the day. If you want me to I can send you pictures of your fur babies while they are in my care. I have a backyard for your pets to run and play in.

About: If given the opportunity I would love to take care of your fur babies like they were my own. I have always been a pet and animal lover, and a natural care taker so this seemed like a very logical next step for me. Your pet would get all the love and attention you aren’t able to provide while you are at work or away on vacation. You would never have to worry about them when they are in my care. I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to be able to be the one who gets to take care of your pets when you are unable to. I currently work from home in a non demanding job with flexible hours so I have plenty of time to love and care for your pet! I know all pets are not the same. I am willing to work with and learn your pet’s personality! I volunteer at my local animal shelter as well!
About: I have grown up with dogs in my house my entire life. There hasn’t been a time where I never had a dog. When I turned 19 I knew I wanted to have my own so I got my first puppy. I’ve always watched my friends and families dogs as well. I am currently working part time and have a very flexible schedule so I have a lot of time to take care of your fur babies. I have an Irish doodle in my home who is very friendly and loves to play with other dogs. I enjoy taking the dogs to the dog park throughout the day.
About: Growing up on a farm in East Tennessee, I was always surrounded by animals of all sorts! I have experience with dogs, cats, horses, poultry, rabbits, and more! I truly love caring for other people's animals and treating them like part of the family. To me, pet sitting is more than just a job—it's an opportunity to create a safe, loving, and comfortable environment for pets while their owners are away. I’m currently a stay at home wife after getting married a few months ago! My schedule is very flexible, especially during the day on weekdays. I live in a duplex with an unfenced yard. I have a spare room that can easily fit a crate if needed and a walking trail just a few minutes down the road to get your pup’s energy out if needed!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 17 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Houstonia. 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 Houstonia 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.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. Many sitters can respond to messages in under an hour.
To find the fastest available match, message multiple sitters with a recent "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
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.
Don't let your 9-to-5 stop you from being a great pet parent. When you're heading to work, drop off your beloved pet with a loving dog sitter near you. Your dog will get the love and care they're used to at home, and you'll get photo updates and the peace of mind that comes from finding great care for your pet. We're proud to offer a wide range of pet care, including puppy day care and pet day care for all kinds of pets. We know you love your pets, but you can't always be there, which is where our loving sitters come in.
