“Zoe did an amazing job looking after our cats while we were away! She was incredibly kind and gave them lots of love and attention, which gave us real peace of mind. We really appreciated how she kept in regular contact, updating us and making sure we knew everything was going well. She was also very professional throughout the whole experience. We wouldn’t hesitate to trust Zoe again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.”
“This was my first time using Rover and I can safely say it won't be my last! Alison and Robert were amazing. They gave my crew the attention they needed even if that meant leaving them alone. The visit updates were much appreciated as were the pictures. They were even able to teach Toast to shake paws! Thank you so much!”
“Jennifer did such a great job of communicating with me from start to finish, checking in with updates and questions about how to best serve my finicky, anxious kitty, Bailey. In fact, she totally won Bailey over, which is something even my family hasn't been able to do! Thanks for being so kind to Bailey, Jennifer! You made my last-minute trip so much easier.”
“Our household has several special needs cats that all have a different care routine. Aubrey did an amazing job navigating their different requirements and respecting each of their very unique personalities and special needs. I will 100 percent be booking again in the very near future”
About: Pets aren’t just animals to me—they’re family! I’ve spent years working hands-on with dogs and cats through my holistic pet supply store, professional grooming services, and pet wellness work. I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your four-legged family member. I’m experienced with pets of all personalities and love getting to know what makes each one special. Whether we’re out enjoying a walk, stopping in for some one-on-one attention, or simply sharing some cuddle time, I’ll treat your pet with the same care, patience, and love I would want for my own. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort will always come first! Pet care is already a big part of my weekly routine! I spend my days surrounded by dogs and cats through my pet business, grooming, nutrition, and wellness work. I’m excited to add walks and drop-in visits to my schedule, giving local pets extra exercise, companionship, attention, and care throughout the week. When I care for your pet in your home, I want them to feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their own familiar environment. I follow your routines and instructions carefully, provide plenty of attention and companionship, and make sure your pet has everything they need before I leave. I’ll also keep you updated so you can relax knowing your furry family member is in caring, experienced hands.

I am very clean, respectful, and leave the place exactly how you left it. My main concern is taking great care of your pet.
“Kilie was awesome! She showed up on time for every feeding, gave our kitties some love and attention and made sure they were well taken care of. We’ve never left our cats in the care of anyone other than family so we were a little nervous about how it would go, but Kilie was so good that we now feel free to travel as long as we can book her.”
“Juliette was amazing again for both of our dogs while we were working/ away. We trust her as she takes great care of them and great care of our house! Would definitely recommend Juliette to anyone!”
“Meaghan was an amazing dog sitter for my high maintenance, sweet, loving beagle! She followed all my instructions and went above and beyond in taking care of my pup! She sent me updates and photos which made me reassured all was good while I was away! I will definitely be booking her again. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing a sitter!”
“Anne took exceptional care of our cat while we were away for five days. We received a thorough update each day, which we were so thankful to receive. Though we had just met Anne a few days before our trip, we quickly felt like we had known her for much longer. She is kind, responsive, and dependable—a perfect caretaker for beloved pets. We will definitely ask Anne to cat sit for us again and highly recommend her!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 589 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Kirkville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Kirkville. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
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.
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.
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.
