“We hired Samantha to care for our two cats while we were on vacation, and she was an absolute dream to work with. She communicated with us every single day, sharing photos and updates about how they were doing. It gave us total peace of mind knowing our cats were in such great hands. To top it all off, when our return flight got delayed, Samantha truly came to the rescue. Without hesitation, she was able to accommodate our last-minute change and dropped in an additional three times to make sure our cats were taken care of. We are so incredibly grateful for her flexibility and dedication. We will definitely be booking Samantha every single time we go out of town.”


About: I’ve owned and cared for dogs my entire life, giving me 15 years of hands-on experience across all breeds and sizes. From large, powerful breeds like Rottweilers, Pitbulls, and Great Danes to spirited Schnauzers and my current 4-year-old French Bulldog, I understand how to adjust my care to every dog's unique personality and energy level. Whether your pup needs confident, experienced handling on walks or gentle, focused attention, safety and comfort are always my top priorities. Pet care is my top priority! I manage my schedule carefully to ensure every dog gets full attention, frequent bathroom breaks, and daily exercise. Whether you need drop-in visits, walks, or house sitting, I have flexible availability to match your dog's exact daily routine. Having raised dogs my whole life—from large breeds like Great Danes and Pitbulls to smaller pups like my Frenchie—I prioritize safety above all else. In your home, I keep the environment secure, strictly follow all feeding and leash protocols, and provide frequent updates and photos so you have total peace of mind.
“Amanda is wonderful! She took great care of our kitties & our apartment (the kitties knocked over a plant and she cleaned everything up so nicely). This was our 2nd time booking with her and we will definitely book with her again!”

“Alexandra was great! This is my second time using her services and my kitties were happy and healthy when I came home. She brought in our mail and packages which was greatly appreciated. Will be using her services again!”

“We had such a great experience! 😊 She took wonderful care of our cats while we were away, making sure their dry food stayed filled, giving them fresh water daily, and even keeping up with their wet food routine. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. Everything was clean, organized, and our cats seemed happy and relaxed when we got home (which says a lot!). Communication was great too, we really appreciated the updates. Highly recommend and would absolutely book again! 🐾”

“Andrea took care of our 2 cats and did a fantastic job! She was not only able to get our shy cat to eat, but also come out of hiding. She did everything we asked and more. I will definitely have her watch our cats again and highly recommend her!”


“Nadia has been an excellent sitter for my cat. She took great care of all of her basic needs (like cleaning the litter box and feeding her), and also took the extra time to play with her and give her love while I was away. She let me know that my cat threw up on the carpet, cleaned it up, and kept an eye on her to make sure she was okay! Nadia goes above and beyond!”

“Mariah was wonderful with our fur family. She spent time with everyone and sent pictures of happy pups/cats to me daily. I could tell the dogs were happy since they kept bringing her gifts of everything they found on the floor. Even the cats who don't trust most people came out of hiding for her. I will definitely ask Mariah to sit again.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 4,057 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Joplin. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
