About: My name is Jen. I have always been a pet owner. Typically, I raise cats but I have become a dog person the last few years. I began fostering and can care for puppies, seniors and small dogs. My own dog has cerebellar hypoplasia so I am familiar with special needs. I have a fenced in yard for your pet to run and play. I have the ability to stop home mid-day to let dogs outside, or give an extra meal to a senior pet. I am home on weekends to care for pets openly. I have a fenced in yard of my own to let animals out, typically I supervise dogs outside that are not my own to make sure they do not get too adventurous in the new environment.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life!, my first dog when I was little was the same age as me from age 1-to age 10! Growing up with her was a great experience we were best friends and did everything together! For years I’ve stayed at my aunts house twice a year to dog sit her dogs when she would go on vacation, I also stay with my dads dogs when he goes out of town quite frequently. My boyfriend and I have recently bought a van and are deciding to travel around the country in our van full time, so we will have plenty of time and a free schedule to watch/play with your fur babies. I will make sure they are played with and cared for and have lots of pets and cuddles if needed. Also walks or runs depending on what you prefer for them!
“Hadley was really great in looking after my cat Dante. I was away for a week but she sent daily updates of my little guy and I could see he was being well taken care of. Came home to happy cat!”
“Brent is amazing, always checking in and providing photos. We have booked many times and will again! My dog can be very naughty and he takes it in stride everytime!”
“Autumn came in clutch for my baby. She got her to warm up to her quickly. She also did her hair for me and made sure she was taken care of while I was gone. The daily pictures and updates kept me going and less stressed while I was away.. I am so grateful for her and I will be booking her again.”
About: I've cared for animals my whole life but I've been working as a veterinary assistant for 7 years. Thanks to my experience I'm comfortable with all sorts of animals and situations. I'm provided a lot of different medical care as well. I'm most passionate about providing the best quality of life. Especially for the misunderstood critters, like the seniors, reactive, and even reptiles. I'm currently working full time during the week, so I am able to do some morning or evening care. I have open availability on the weekends. I can care for pets in your home and provide the routine that they are used to. I can also clean up or do whatever is helpful while spending quality time with your pet. I am able to care for some pets in my home as long as the environment suits them well.

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Kirkville is $21 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $21 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- 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.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Kirkville choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Kirkville with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the 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 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.
