“Morgan was an absolute star when it came to taking care of my senior cat with a variety of health issues that required daily medication. She was patient, loving, kind and most importantly was reliable in my absence. Really appreciated her being able to provide daily updates during drop ins! Can’t recommend her enough and will be rebooking her in the future for sure!”

About: I have grown up with dogs and done pet sitting for friends and neighbors. Recently, my 8 year old who loves dogs started dog walking under my supervision. We team up and work together, I am in charge but she comes along to gain a sense of accomplishment and responsibility. As a result, we are only able to help with dogs that are tolerant of kids. We do not have any pets at home currently. While I work full time in the medical field, I am primarily on Rover to team up with my 8 year old who loves dogs. We intend to work together to help take care of your pet. Kiddo wants to be a vet and wants to spend as much time around dogs as possible. We should be available Weekends, Most evenings, Tuesday mornings and Friday afternoons. This will need to be coordinated advance. Happy to adjust to your needs if you notify us atleast 2 weeks ahead of time. We do not intend to walk more than one pet at a time, so your fur baby will have full attention. We are very familiar with dog body language and cues and will be very mindful of your dog's preferences, traits and needs.

“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!!”

About: I have grown up with dogs in the home my entire life and adopted my own the first chance I was able to provide a stable environment. I often take care of my parents' 3 dogs in addition to my own! I currently work full time during the week but have plenty of time of the weekends to go for walks and/or host your furry family when they are unable to tag along with you! I have a very friendly 3 year old lab mix that is able to keep your dog entertained during stays or walks. I live in a complex with a large trail surrounding and dog park to offer plenty of exercise and socialization as well!

About: I've had dogs my whole life and have loved animals since I was a kid. Right now I'm watching my roommate's cat and dog, so I'm used to juggling different personalities and energy levels. I'm reliable, patient, and treat every dog like my own. Happy to send photo updates during walks and check ins so you know your pup is having a great time! I'm a student at the University of Missouri with a part-time job, so my schedule is pretty flexible. I'm available Monday–Thursday before 10:30am and after 5pm, and I usually have all-day availability Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Your dog's safety and comfort are always my top priority. Growing up with a dog with anxiety, so I learned early on how to read subtle cues, stay calm in stressful situations, and help an anxious dog feel safe. That experience taught me a lot of patience and made me really attentive to each dog's individual needs and comfort level with new people and environments. I currently share my home with my roommate's cat and dog, so I'm also experienced with multi-pet households and know how to keep introductions calm and stress-free

About: I’m an Animal Science major with a lifelong love for animals! I grew up with two dogs and have experience caring for both dogs and cats for friends and family. I’m responsible, patient, and love giving pets the attention and care they deserve. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or cuddles, I’ll make sure your furry family member feels happy and loved while you’re away. I currently work part-time at a horse clinic while also attending classes. I have flexible breaks throughout the day, which gives me time to walk, feed, or play with pets. After work and classes, I’m available for evening visits or walks to make sure pets get the care and attention they need. I live in an apartment, so I’m not able to host pets overnight, but I’m happy to provide drop-in visits, walks, and playtime to keep your pets happy and active. I always prioritize safety and make sure pets are comfortable, secure, and cared for during our time together.

About: Being raised in a household that always had at least one four-legged friend, I know the value that animals add to a home! I also know the importance of finding trusted individuals (me!!) to take care of those loved ones, during times away. Having relied on friends & family to care for my pets over the years, I want to help others in a similar way. I work full time, but have a flexible job that allows me the privilege to step away when needed & check on a pup or two! Depending on location, I can make pre-work, lunch time, or post-work visits work. As well as overnights! Your pet’s safety and daily routine are my top priorities! I’m super diligent about double-checking doors, gates, and leashes, and keeping anything dangerous out of reach. I love sending regular photo updates so you can relax knowing your four-legged friend is happy, safe, and living their best life while you’re away.

About: Hi! I’ve been an animal lover since childhood, and since 2022 I’ve been actively involved in fostering and fundraising for a local dog rescue. Helping dogs prepare for their forever homes has been incredibly rewarding and has given me valuable experience caring for pets of all personalities and needs. I provide a kennel-free stay so your dog can feel relaxed and at home. Crating is only used when I need to leave the house, strictly for safety purposes. I share my home with my friendly, well-behaved dog, Antler, who is fully vaccinated, socialized, and of course, thoroughly spoiled. Whether your pet loves playtime, walks, or chill time, they’ll feel right at home here. I am available full time on weekends starting Fridays at noon. I'm available for pet check ins before 9:00a and after 5:00p on week days. Can pet sit during the week as needed. I am a dedicated and flexible pet sitter who adapts to your pet's unique needs and routine. I enjoy taking dogs on little adventures whether it's exploring a new walking path or simply enjoying some outdoor time at a pace they find comfortable. My priority is your peace of mind, so I am always happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can see your pet having a great time while you're away.

About: Hi, I’m Haley! I’ve run my own full-time in-home doggy daycare for 2 years, caring for pups of all ages — including those with health, socialization, or mobility challenges. After a car accident, I learned petting dogs is actually helping me recover use of my right hand. My husband encouraged me to make my love for animals my job, and it’s been the best decision ever. I give each dog lots of direct attention, fun enrichment, and a mostly cage-free space (kennels only if needed for safety). Around here, every day is all about happy tails and feeling at home. *If your dog is not neutered and not potty trained they will be the standard “puppy” rate.* I have a built in doggy daycare in my home as you can see in the photos. There will only be up to 8 dogs on my property at one time. This is to assure access to feild trips to local farms for free range play. This is a boutique style care for your pup! I love dogs so much I made it apart of my home! Your pet will never be in a kennel over 2 hours at a time. If your pet has a social attitude and gets along well with others we can allow “free range play.” If your pet has a difficult time with another dog, I will create separation in the environment allowing equal love and play breaks with up to three activities daily. Balancing work and personal life, I find joy in building strong relationships with both pets and their owners. Regular updates and open communication provide peace of mind for pet parents, knowing their beloved companions are in caring hands. Understanding that each dog has unique needs, takes a personalized approach to care. Whether it’s preparing special meals, accommodating health concerns, or providing extra cuddles for anxious pups, I always go the extra mile. This commitment to individualized attention fosters trust and creates a home away from home for every dog.

About: I’ve worked with dogs in many various professional environments: specifically KC Dawgs training facility, dogtopia and camp bow wow daycare and boarding facilities, and even the petsmart grooming salon. I have loved every single job I’ve had with animals and am in good standing with all of them after having to move to Columbia for college. I also have a good amount of experience with working dogs as I volunteer and shadow the MO TF1 search and rescue canines at least once a month! I have a ton of experience with animals who might have physical disabilities or need extra care. The white aussie in my profile picture was partially blind and completely deaf. I got to work with him for a 1-2 week board and train! I’ve taken care of countless breeds with various different exercise needs and food varieties. I also have a ton of experience with grooming and nail trims. I offer these for free for anyone who books a service longer than a day! Just let me know in private messages if you are interested ^_^ I have 2 dogs of my own and we currently live on campus in a single dorm. I am also the president of the Canine Sports Club at my school! When students here need help with their dogs (we are a pet friendly school), I am usually the first person they ask. I also volunteer for a program called Retrieving Freedom which allows me to help train and raise psychiatric service dogs. This is a program that meets once a week. My own dog (Tara, 5) is being trained on the scent of a low blood glucose to work towards being my service dog (diabetic alert). So we train on scent multiple times a week. My dogs get supplements, meds, potty breaks, play dates, training outings, and grooming sessions multiple times a week. My pets at home are all kennel trained, potty trained, and general house trained. I have a puppy who has higher energy and needs more supervision, so he gets naptimes up in his kennel more often than my 5 year old girl. The puppy is on hip and joint supplements which he gets with his breakfast. All my dogs eat out of slow feeders and wait to eat until they are released. This helps with impulse control.

About: I’m a dedicated dog lover with years of hands-on experience providing personalized care for dogs of all ages and needs. Whether it’s training puppies, caring for senior dogs, or just giving plenty of attention and exercise, I make sure every pup feels safe, happy, and loved. I also volunteered at the Central Missouri Humane Society while attending college in Columbia, where I worked with dogs of all temperaments and gained experience handling a wide variety of personalities. With me, your dog will be treated like family, and you can count on reliable, attentive care every time. Pet care is a priority in my daily routine. I allocate specific time slots each day for feeding, walking, playtime, and any additional care tasks based on each pet's needs. This routine ensures consistency and allows me to provide the best possible care while balancing other responsibilities. Additionally, I schedule regular check-ins and updates with pet owners to keep them informed about their furry friend's well-being. In my home, I provide a safe and comfortable environment for pets under my care. This includes designated areas for eating, sleeping, and playtime, as well as access to outdoor spaces for exercise and bathroom breaks. I adhere to any specific feeding schedules, dietary restrictions, or medication routines outlined by the pet owner. When caring for pets in a client's home, I prioritize maintaining their familiar environment and routines. I follow the owner's instructions meticulously, ensuring that their pet's daily schedule, including feeding times, exercise routines, and any medical needs, are faithfully observed. I also strive to keep the home tidy and secure, respecting the owner's space while providing attentive care to their beloved companion.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.

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 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.

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.
