About: 🐾Hello! I have over a decade of dog sitting experience, ranging from pomeranians to saint bernards. Whether you need someone to keep up with your energetic pup or provide company and attentive care for your laid back senior dog, I'm here to ensure they feel loved and cared for while you're away. 😊 I currently work full time, monday - friday, as well as attend grad school. My availability for house sitting begins on friday nights after 5pm, and through the weekend! Additional availability for walks and drop in care on weeknights. I work in the Mission/Shawnee area so I may be able to provide drop in care over my lunch break as well. :) Safety and communication are my top priorities. I maintain your pets routine to ensure they feel comfortable, and provide regular updates for your peace of mind. You can expect plenty of photos during our time together. 📸 Feel free to message me to schedule a meet up prior to providing care!

About: About Me: Hi, I’m Andi! My goal is simple: to be your pup’s second best friend and to give you absolute peace of mind while you are away. As someone who has personally raised and loved four dogs of my own, I know firsthand that pets aren't just animals - they are family. I understand how tough it can be to leave them behind, which is why I treat your pet's routine, comfort, and safety with the highest level of care and respect. When I’m watching your dog, keeping their regular routine is my focus. Whether they have a strict feeding schedule, specific potty and playtime breaks, or just do best in a calm predictable environment, I make sure everything goes smoothly. You can travel guilt-free knowing they are happy, safe, and sticking to their normal routines. Because I work from home most days, I am nearby to ensure your pup has consistent companionship and care. My workday structure allows me the flexibility to step away and manage whatever your dog needs, keeping their daily routines seamless. Mornings: The day starts with a timely potty break, breakfast and fresh water, with some morning companionship before I focus on work. Mid-Day: I am easily able to take breaks for mid-day potty runs, quick playtime stretches, or a walk. Your pup will have a buddy nearby throughout the day to ensure they feel safe and secure. Evenings & Nights: Dinner is served right on time, followed by an evening with walks, playtime, and cuddles. Before bed we'll do one last potty break and settle into a calm, relaxed environment. A Quick Note on Schedule Variations: While I am home most of the week, I do work from the office on Wednesdays from 7:00 AM to 2:30 PM. I always make sure dogs get a great morning routine and potty break before I head out, and I am right back in the afternoon for their next break. Additionally, I occasionally work a second job on weekends. If a stay falls over a weekend, there may be stretches where the pups are left alone, but they will always be safely settled and completely taken care of before and after! Because I view your dog as family, their safety and your peace of mind are my top priorities. Having raised four dogs of my own, I know how to spot potential hazards and maintain a secure, low-stress environment. I only host or sit for one family's pet(s) at a time. Your dog will never have to compete with unfamiliar dogs for attention, and you don't have to worry about the unpredictable behavior of other people's pets. They get my full focus. I am incredibly mindful of open doors, gates, and secure leash attachments. I keep a tidy, dog-friendly space so your pup can lounge, explore, and enjoy a truly relaxed environment. Trust starts before the stay even begins. I never skip a Meet-and-Greet because I want to learn your dog's unique quirks, what makes them nervous, and exactly how they behave in different situations. If anything ever seems off—whether it's a change in their usual energy, appetite, or bathroom habits—you will be notified immediately. I treat your pup with the same watchful eye and care I gave my own.

About: Lifelong Animal Lover with Advanced Care Experience I grew up surrounded by both dogs and cats, and my life has always revolved around animal companionship. I don't just love pets; I understand them deeply. Because I specialize in dog walking and drop-in visits (up to 3 times a day), my focus is entirely on providing structured, safe, and attentive care right in your pet's familiar environment. Expert Medical & Senior Pet Care I have extensive, hands-on experience managing complex care for pets of all life stages, including disabled senior animals. If your pet has specialized needs, they are in highly capable hands. I am fully confident and experienced with: Administering oral medications, pill hiding, and precise schedules. Managing advanced medical treatments, including injectables and subcutaneous (Sub-Q) fluids. Assisting pets with mobility aids, harnesses, and specialized diets. Managing senior pet hygiene, including diaper changes and cleanup. Understanding Behavioral Quirks & Big Personalities As a proud owner of two large bully breeds—one who manages severe anxiety and reactivity, and another a rescue recovering from past neglect—I understand that not every dog is a textbook "easy" walker. I am trained in patience, hyper-vigilant environmental awareness, and reading subtle animal body language to keep your reactive, fearful, or strong pup safe on walks. My home is also run by three incredible cats ranging from 3 to 10 years old (including an aloof kitty, a social butterfly, and a sweet disabled cat requiring extra patience). Having previously rehabilitated a rescue cat who became disabled with age, I know exactly how to respect a feline's boundaries while ensuring their needs are met. Whether your cat wants a high-energy play session, gentle grooming, or just a quiet human presence to keep them company, I adapt entirely to their mood. Because I work from home full-time, my schedule is highly flexible and reliable. I am available throughout the day to accommodate your pet's specific routine, offering dog walking and drop-in visits anywhere from 1 to 3 times a day. Here is how my lifestyle benefits you and your pet: Punctual & Consistent Timing: Since I am not tied to a rigid office commute, I can visit your pet at their preferred times for meals, medication, or potty breaks. Mid-Day Break Specialists: I am readily available for lunch-time walks to break up the day for high-energy dogs, puppies, or senior pets who cannot hold it for long. Rapid Emergency Response: Working locally from home means I am never far away. If your pet has a sudden change in schedule or an urgent need, I can adapt quickly. Your peace of mind is my top priority. I treat every animal with the same meticulous care, patience, and fierce love that I give to my own unique fur family. Here is what I bring to every walk or drop-in visit: Frequent Photo & Video Updates: My camera roll is already completely full of my own pets. You can expect detailed, visual updates during every single visit so you know your pet is thriving. Proactive Dog Safety: I bring hyper-vigilant environmental awareness, patience, and deep knowledge of subtle animal body language to every walk. This ensures your reactive, fearful, or strong pup stays completely safe. Customized Cat Care: I know exactly how to respect a feline's boundaries while ensuring their needs are met. Whether your cat wants a high-energy play session, gentle grooming, or just a quiet human presence, I adapt entirely to their mood.

About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life so I am very comfortable around animals. I currently have an Australian Shepard and Boxer, I treat them both like my kids. I hope to be able to help take care of your fur-child when you are not able to. I understand what it is like to trust someone with your dog and I only hope that I can provide you with the peace of mind of knowing your pet is being well taken care of while you are gone. I am a full time business professional that works from home- depending on your need, I can make drop-in visits to let your dog out to go potty, for a walk or to the dog park. I love all dogs, big or small. I will play fetch and take your doggo on walks and cuddle them and give them lots of TLC! Not only will your pet's receive the best care when they are with me, your home will as well. I am happy to run errands, water plants, do light laundry, tidy-up and ensure the safety and security of your home while you are away- complete peace of mind. I have two dogs of my own- We live in an apartment so I am accustomed to taking my dogs out and walking them multiple times as well as providing enrichments for them so they do not get bored. My hope is to provide that same care to your fur-child as well. When I am away, my boyfriend whom I live with will take care of our dogs so I can provide your fur-child with the 1-1 attention they deserve. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities while caring for them in your home. I understand that every household has its own structure and expectations, and I am committed to respecting and maintaining the rules and routines you have established for your pets. My own dogs sleep in their beds or crates and are not allowed on furniture, so I am very familiar with maintaining boundaries and structure. I will always follow the rules you have in place for your pet, whether that includes crate training, furniture rules, feeding schedules, or specific potty routines. I strongly believe that consistency helps pets feel secure, especially when their owners are away. Because of this, I make it a priority to follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including their sleep schedule, feeding times, exercise habits, and any training expectations you have in place.

About: I've taken care of dogs in many fun capacities, from neighborhood dog sitting/walking to 4 years of fostering for animal shelters. I've had the pleasure of looking after seniors, puppies, and adults both big and small. Bathing, medicine administration, feeding, I've done it. I can't wait to spoil your pup with love and attention! Looking forward to meeting you both. I am available for boarding and dog sitting on weekdays and weekends. Someone is home on Fridays and I am usually home mid afternoon/early evening. I live in a quiet neighborhood to take walks in and am happy to go to the park or book a sniff spot for your pet's enjoyment. Water will always be accessible and I will be sure to follow any feeding protocols. You can expect that your pets will have a calm and peaceful experience here where they can destress and feel loved.

About: I have had a dog ever since I was 10 years old. I got another dog shortly after and would take care of them both when my parents were away. I watch my neighbors two large dogs for weeks at a time. I enjoy taking dogs on walks outside and playing with them- I treat them as my own. I work another job part time, I go to work early and am usually done around 3 or 4. I am available most weekends all day and am available for overnight care. I am normally off Friday-Sunday. I have a big field in my backyard and am comfortable if you do not live in a fenced in area. I am comfortable putting pets in a crate as well.

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Mission

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Mission is $17 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $27 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 October 2026, there are 2,704 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Mission. 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.

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 Mission 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 .

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 , 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 .

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 Mission with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Mission. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% 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.

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
