“When we were out of town, we didn't have to worry about our kitties at all because Sierra took such great care of them. She's timely, responsive, and very kind. We highly recommend!”
About: We are on 6 acres just out of city limits. We have a large family and loves having guest pets to play with and take care of. We have trails in our woods for nature walks, with a large home and plenty of room to take care of your precious one. If you are agreeable we would even take the right dog with us to my kids’ soccer practices and games on the weekends. We are a busy family but that can sometimes be the best fit for “just one more” dog! I want to fill my days with things I enjoy now that I have more daytime hours available since my youngest started kindergarten- playing with dogs and walking, staying busy, but still having flexibility for me to be available for my kids and be able to contribute to our income. Your dog will fit right in, I’m taking kids to the bus stop each morning and picking them up in afternoon- perfect time for me to walk dogs! During the day, I’m a stay at home mom, enabling me to spend one on one time with your pet all day! Our evenings can be busy with sports but that’s a good time for some rest and relaxation in the kennel, or the right dog could always tag along and ride with us- I walk during practices and would not mind a companion! In my home, your pet will be like one of the family. We will work with you based on your pet’s needs. Kennels are encouraged for breaks and rest, and I also have kids who love cuddling with a snuggly dog who might need more tlc. I’m home during the days to walk dogs on our 6 acres and trails in the woods, and take potty breaks and have plenty of playtime. This is fun for me and I love helping the doggies in the area have more of a family environment to relax in while owners are away.
About: I worked at Camp Bow Wow for a while and have taken care of many types of dogs. I have a cat that is around my dogs I take care of train and play with my dogs daily and make sure they are always happy and safe. I am free to take care of any fur babies I treat any animal as it was my own, I love pets and have taken care of many types, and they all seem to connect with me
“Erin is wonderful! She touched base with me before we left to make sure she had all our pets' info. She is on top of it and took excellent care of our cats. We will definitely use her again!”
About: I've worked with dogs and cats of all ages. From a few weeks old until their beautiful golden years. I can give oral medication and am willing to learn to give other types of meds. I can do baths, brushing and nails trims on small and medium dogs. Whether your fur baby is shy or a super cuddle bug, I look forward to meeting them. I am available for long weekends or weeks for pet sitting in your home. I'm also available throughout the week and weekends for drop ins! I am able to easily adapt to your pets schedule in your home. I want to maintain stability while your away to make your furry friends as comfortable as possible. So if they have special requests, let me know so I can keep that going.
“Jenna is one of the most honest loyal person I have meant. This is the second time she has sat with my cat, and I can not say enough about Jenna, she is a life saver. She made feel so safe, and when you give someone a key to your home, safe is what you need. Jenna did that and more, I believe she deserves a raise or bonus, for representing Rover.com, to the up most quality, that she gave. And to the care she gave my cat!!!😀 Thank you Jenna”
“Aubrey is the best!! She was so patient with my dogs, who can be really distrusting and a lot to deal with if they don’t know you. She was tolerant and took great care of them, easing my mind while I was on vacation knowing they were in great hands. 10/10 recommend!!”
“Machelle was very responsive and easy to work with. She went out of her way to help us out when our petsitter was suddenly unavailable. Can't say enough about how appreciative we were of her attentiveness to our fur babies.”
About: I grew up on a farm with many types of animals and hard work. I have worked in veterinary clinics as a kennel attendant and now a veterinary assistant for over 10 years. I have experience with dogs, cats, and exotic pets. I'm comfortable caring for elderly and sick pets as well as giving medications. I live and work in the Liberty MO area. I am an early morning person and can do early morning drop in visits and walks before 7 am (including weekends and holidays). I typically get my lunch break between 12-2 pm. I can come and do a drop in visit or do a short walk over my break. Evenings are a possibility but are less flexible and open. I can offer enrichment with treats, playtime and exercise. I like a good cuddle session as well as a hyper wrestling match, or active fetch game. I enjoy being out in God's creation and am open to more nature based walks if you have an active curious pup (like my own dog). I think cats should also be enriched and loved. I like playing games with cats and helping them feel comfortable and spoiled. I have owned a lizard of my own and am not afraid of reptiles or rodents. I think exotic pets need enrichment, entertainment, and love as well.
“Raelee was amazing with my puppy, Wrigley. She was on time, dedicated time to helping with inconveniences, and was very communicative! I will recommend her a million times over and over, she’s the best!”
About: I’ve dog sat older dogs nearing the end of their life and I’ve helped raise puppies. I’m very passionate about working with animals and keeping them safe. I’ve also worked at a dog boarding place, caring for pets. I love spending time with dogs. I currently work overnight shifts, so I will get to spend my days with your dogs. I’ll be around to check on them as often as needed, let them out frequently, and give them plenty of attention and love. I always monitor play time and potty breaks, and I always make sure there’s nothing dangerous the dogs can get a hold of. Animal safety is important to me.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Kearney stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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. 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.

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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
