“Taylor watched my two cats over Thanksgiving. She tried her best to make the visits fun, giving them treat puzzles to do and playing with their favorite toy. Most importantly, she planned ahead when a snow storm was coming and gave the cats extra food and water in case the power went out.”

About: I've always had at least one dog my entire life, and right now my family has 2. My parents always wanted me to be a dog trainer when I grew up, so this is close enough! I love all animals, and started taking care of my neighbors dogs at 14 years old. I'm a college student looking for something to do over the summer, and I would love to spend my time taking care of your dog(s)! I do basically nothing until August so I have an very flexible schedule. I can adapt to any type of home, and am good with anything. Once you tell me where everything is, I'll be good from there.

About: I have been taking care of animals since I was a kid. I grew up owning dogs, small rodents, and fish. I pet sat for several families when I was in highschool and I am on-call for my friends if they ever need a sitter. I currently have 2 dogs and 2 cats and they are my children. I am an excellent communicator and, if you'd like, you can expect pictures both flattering and not of your pets. I am currently in school and have class from 9-3 with breaks for lunch during the week. I can be available every weekday except for wednesdays throughout the day for drop-ins. I will treat your animals as well as my own. I am a fan of routines and will abide by yours to the best of my ability. I know how important consistency can be to make pets feel safe when their people are away. I am not able to board animals at my home.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for the last 15 years. I currently own a 2 year old boxer pitbull mix who is a ball of energy. I have administered medicine such as eye drops, ear drops, and lotion to dogs. I have experience with small dog breeds such as yorkies to extra large breed dogs such as Great Danes. I would love to walk and hangout with your pet and take care of them like they are my own! I also owned cats for multiple years and have cared for my friends cats! I am a teacher so I would only be able to take care of the pet after 3:30. I also have my own pet who I would need to go home to first. On weekends I am available all day for whatever you need! I crate my dog when leaving so I am knowledgeable in crating dogs when I need to leave. I am very observant and pay close attention to locking doors or gates behind me. I will always make sure your animal is on a leash. If a toy gets destroyed I will put it up where they will not be able to reach it.

About: Hello! Thank you for taking an interest in my profile, I’m originally from Des Moines, Iowa. I recently moved to Missouri after spending a few years in Pittsburgh. I grew up with dogs, we raised a golden retriever and two Dobermans. We are now an all cat household. I helped and continue to help with the care of our family’s pets, and had the joyful experience of working with clients regularly during my time in Pittsburgh. I fostered and crate trained a puppy during the summer in 2019 and have raised 2 Sphynx cats. I have always loved being around animals, I try to be easy to talk to and understanding. My hours are flexible. I just moved, so I will have plenty of time to work with you on your schedule. I will be able to be with your pet as you see fit. I hope to keep your pet entertained, play with their favorite toys, take them outside for some fresh air, and connect with them and their unique personality. I am comfortable giving them their medication, and keeping any routines in play to make them happy. I am happy to accommodate requests.

This is the second time Taylor has taken care of my cats. I really appreciated how creative she was thinking of ways to get my reluctant cat to eat her wet food meal. Thanks for all your hard work Taylor!

Nathan was so amazing. We were gone for an entire week and nervous as we had never left my cat for this long. He was so detailed and on time every day for his drop ins. I was able to really enjoy and not worry! He even had to deal with a snow storm, getting locked out of our place (an apartment problem, not his), and went above and beyond for our pet care. I would absolutely recommend him and will be rebooking! Thanks Nathan for loving on our kitty!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Kirksville on Rover is $15.54 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 9 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Kirksville. 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 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 cat, 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 have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

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.

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.
