“Mariah really helped us out when my husband and I made a last minute day trip out of town. I haven’t had the chance to meet her in person since we had already left when she confirmed she could check on dog Jett, but we look forward to meeting Mariah and using her services again. Thank you Mariah!”
“Evie was really sweet and good with my puppy, Diesel. He really likes her and I could see he really enjoyed her daily visits. She even cleaned up his indoor puppy accidents when she didn't have to. I definitely will use her again in the future with no hesitation. Her love for animals really shines through!”
About: Looking for an experienced animal sitter or affordable daycare that is flexible? Woof, I am your gal! From 13 years of combined dog training and behavioral training, I may as well be an animal mind reader! My approaches to pet care are holistic and it doesn't get more organic than loving and working with animals. I've also had many years of experience with small animals, fish and reptiles. If you need a small sitter, I'm all yours! MEET & GREET: I do my meet and greets differently than most. I have TWO meet and greets. The first is with owners alone for a tour of my house, going over routines and any additional care and concerns. This is very helpful as exciting dogs barking can be overwhelming. The second meet and greet is at a basic place like a park or OUTSIDE of dog park. My schedule and routine is pretty flexible, yet still manageable and structured. My daycare hours are Mon-Fri from 8AM to 5:30PM, though I can work around your schedule only on those days. Boarding is available 7 days a week during the night with check in times anywhere 2PM to 7PM, checkouts 8AM next day unless specified otherwise (in the event I am unavailable with a week advance notice). Dog walks and dog check-ins are only Saturday evenings, various hours. BITE POLICY: I understand that accidents happen and I am equipped to handle a bite from a dog/cat as well as ensure the safety of animal to animal bites. If your pet bites me, another person or pet, I will immediately contact you with details of the event. I will report ALL bites to Rover. Depending on the situation, someone will need to pick up pet(s) within 6 hours of contact and bite. It is up to Rover to issue a refund depending on circumstances. You MUST book your request through Rover and MUST pay via Rover for them to ensure a refund. I will NOT refund if you have paid via CashApp, check, Venmo, cash, etc. if you are required to pick up your pet(s). If I assess the situation and feel it's risky to board/sit your pet I will decline future requests. NOTE: You MUST book/CONFIRM your requests via ROVER! When you send your requests to me, I will book it and you must confirm via Rover in order for me to watch your pets. Pending request will be denied of service. NOTE: Boarding is charged by the NIGHT. For example, if you request for me to board your pets Jan 8th thru Jan 17th, they MUST be picked up ON the 17th, not the next day on Jan 18th. Please factor in how late you will arrive and if it's the next day you will have to pay for that night. This works just like a hotel stay. You will be charged a $20 fee for each pet if you need to extend stays. NOTE: Please make sure your pets are free from fleas and parasites! Upon meet and greet provide proof of recent medication, vet summaries, and other remedies. I no longer provide daycare services, only boarding, walks, and check ins. I currently have 5 cats and 1 dog. Walking and at home check ins are anywhere from 1-3 hours Sat evenings. I will walk around neighborhood only if a safe and trusted area. I also will care for cat in home visits. All required is specific walking and care instructions.
“Syl was amazing! They took great care of my pup, Layla, and went above and beyond to make sure she was happy! They were happy to oblige to specific requests that I had. I will definitely book with Syl again whenever I need a sitter!”
“Hayden was a huge help. She went above and beyond for my girl Sadie and made sure she was loved. Sadie seemed so happy when I got back. Hayden was always on time and was in constant communication with me. I will be using her again!!”

About: I can not think of a time my house has not had a pet in it. I currently have 4 dogs of various sizes with the largest being my Irish Wolfhound. I have always loved animals and I love the interactions with them. I love helping out with others pets and making sure that the pets are always cared for. I work full time but will be available weekday evenings and all day on the weekends. In some circumstances I can do weekday things also. I currently have a fenced in yard in which my dogs play in daily. I also have two kennels, 1 for very large dogs and 1 for medium dogs.
About: I have always had people come to me to take care of their pets because to me they are family and they deserve that treatment. I am an athlete at SEMO so I don’t get to see animals often, but they are one of my most favorite things in the world. Besides school and sports they would be my main priority and it would mean a lot to take care of them when I am available. I can easily take care of your dog the way you would like me to, but if you feel the need for them to have extra care such as taking walks or playing catch I can do that as well.
About: Reliable and Loving Dog Sitting Experience As a passionate animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, I take pride in providing safe, loving, and reliable care for your furry companions while you're away. My goal is to offer peace of mind to pet owners by creating a comfortable, fun, and stress-free environment for dogs, whether it's just for a few hours or an extended stay. I’ve cared for dogs of almost all breeds and sizes, from energetic puppies to senior dogs needing special care. Every dog is unique, and I’m committed to understanding their specific needs, routines, and personalities to ensure they feel at home in my care. I believe in giving each dog personalized attention, ensuring they receive plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, and affection. One of my most memorable experiences as a dog sitter was caring for a lively Golden Retriever named Max. Max loved his daily walks, playtime in the yard, and cuddling on the couch after a long day. I made sure to stick to his usual routine so he felt safe and comfortable. Whether it was ensuring he got his favorite treats or providing interactive toys to keep him engaged, I always put his happiness first. Max's owners were thrilled to see how happy and relaxed he was when they returned! Beyond just walking and feeding, I offer additional services such as administering medications if needed, sending regular updates, and providing plenty of playtime and snuggles. I am also fully prepared to handle any unexpected situations with a calm and responsible approach. If you're looking for a loving, trustworthy, and experienced dog sitter who will treat your pet like family, I would love to connect and discuss how I can help give your dog the best care possible while you're away!

Julia took such wonderful care of our dogs and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. She sent daily updates and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind.

- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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.

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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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.
