“Amanda was wonderful with my two dogs during the two weeks I was away. She came by every morning for their play and potty break, and they absolutely loved her. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were happy and cared for. I’m very grateful for her reliability, kindness, and the way she connected with my girls. Highly recommended!!”
“Rylee is very accommodating and professional. She is a great choice for any pet-sitting needs. It’s extra comforting knowing she is pre-vet. I really appreciate her working out a schedule that worked for Tukoma’s care while we were away. Thank you!!”
About: Hi! My name is Cassi, and animals have been a huge part of my life for over 5 years. I have experience caring for animals in veterinary clinics, emergency medicine, and animal shelters, so I’m comfortable with pets of all ages, sizes, breeds, and personalities! I currently work at a veterinary clinic in Benton as a veterinary technician, and I have also worked in an emergency veterinary clinic as a technician and at an animal shelter where I cared for a wide variety of animals. Because of my veterinary experience, I’m comfortable recognizing when something seems “off” and know how to safely care for pets with medical or special needs. One of my biggest strengths is caring for pets who require medications or extra attention. I’m experienced with administering oral medications, injections, and insulin, and I’m comfortable following detailed medication schedules and special care instructions. I also have a soft spot for senior pets! I personally cared for my senior hound who was diabetic, so I understand how important patience, consistency, and extra care can be for older pets. I’m also very comfortable with anxious, shy, or more difficult pets. Working in veterinary medicine and animal shelters has taught me that every animal is different. Whether your pet is a happy-go-lucky dog who wants to play all day, a nervous pup who needs some time to warm up, or a shy kitty who prefers to hide and observe, I’m happy to meet them where they are and give them the care they’re comfortable with. I have plenty of experience with dogs as well! While working at the shelter, I regularly took dogs on walks and hikes, played with them, and worked with dogs with all kinds of temperaments. I love getting outside, going for walks, playing, and making sure pets get the exercise and enrichment they need. I also have a young Beagle puppy of my own, Maisie, who is very friendly and would love a playmate! If your dog enjoys other dogs and you’re comfortable with it, Maisie can tag along for walks or visits. Of course, this is completely optional and I’m happy to provide one-on-one care if your pet would prefer to have me all to themselves. Most importantly, I want your pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any special instructions. I also understand how reassuring it is to know how your pet is doing while you’re gone, so I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos throughout my visits. Whether your pet needs a simple potty break and some playtime, a long walk, medication, senior care, or just someone to keep them company while you're away, I would love the opportunity to care for them! Your pets are family, and I’ll treat them like my own. ❤️🐾 I am currently in school and work at a veterinary clinic part time but I am mostly free in the mornings and late afternoons. I am free most weekends. My schedule can vary so we can 100% work out times that work for you! I care for every pet according to their individual routine, personality, and needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep their normal routine as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable while their owner is away. This includes following feeding schedules, providing fresh water, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medications, and plenty of attention and companionship. I’m very comfortable following detailed care instructions and caring for pets with special needs, including senior pets and pets requiring medications or insulin injections. I also understand that some pets are nervous or anxious around new people, so I’m patient and allow them to warm up to me at their own pace. I always prioritize safety and supervision, and I’m happy to send regular updates and photos so owners know how their pets are doing. My goal is for every pet to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for just as they would be at home. ❤️🐾
About: While I do not currently own a dog, I have had dogs since I was 4, and been responsible for them since around 12. I know how to read their body language and engage with them in ways that respect their needs and boundaries! I have over 100 hours of vet internships! While it is now lapsed I also had an AVA designation, and it's only lapsed because I've been focused on a degree in wildlife biology at school. Around the age of 16 I took over complete care of my dogs, including my elderly dog. I brought them to their first vet appointments, payed their vet bills, made important decisions regarding surgery and care, and insured their food was good quality. I can give medication and take temperature on both dogs and cats. I have lots of experience In reading body language and know when to step away and when to engage. I also have extensive experience in reptile care! Overall I'm responsible, engaged, and respectful of both my pets and others pets. I take health very seriously and can follow instructions to a T. I am currently attending Murray State University and am looking to bolster my income while enjoying all the perks of caring for animals! It isn't all about the money. I do genuinely adore visiting and connecting to pets and I know the struggle it can be to find someone you trust to leave your pet to! I'm hear to be a trustworthy adult you can rely on. I know the anxiety that comes with leaving your little one alone as a pet owner myself. I have to travel often for boat races as I'm on my schools rowing team, and I don't know what I would do without my closest friends! I'm here for you and your pet, always! Currently I have one pet, my cat bandit. He's my first pet as an adult and I did all the research, adopting processes, and recourse gathering myself! He's fed on a 3 meal cycle throughout the day and his food is based on extensive research into a cats dietary needs and restrictions. I am very strict about his treatment. His boundaries are to always be respected and he's always handled with care! Absolutely no throwing/tossing him, no hitting, no shoving. If he doesn't want to be held he doesn't get held, if he wants space he gets space. He's the king of our castle. Others pets are shown this same level of respect from me. I take feeding guidelines very seriously and understand the importance of play and stimulation In keeping a critter happy and healthy.
About: I have taken care of many animals and many dogs and cats I have pet sit for many people in my family! I can walk them, feed, sit,or even drop by! I am also a vet tech at Murray state in school so I also know basic care for them! You can trust me with your furry friend!❤️ I work part time as well as school, so I’m a wide variety of availability so if your ever needing someone just let me know and I’d be happy to help! I have a dog crate so if you are a crate trainer I can have the crate I also have a pretty backyard as well as a nice safe neighborhood for walks! I also have many leashes but feel free to provide your own, the only thing I will need left is food or if I need to house sit or come drop by no worries about that!

Ellie was great! This was my first time using Rover and really glad I did and can't compliment her enough. Communication was awesome and the pics were so cute of Talon! I can tell she was well cared for while I was gone and will definitely be booking her again- Thank you Ellie!
If we could give Grace more stars, we would...95 more! We simply can't say enough good things about her. She is loving and gentle with all of our cats and also finds the time to make sure they are fed, safe, and secure. We tend to struggle with the idea of leaving our pets, but when we have to, leaving them in Grace's care gives us total peace-of-mind. She is thorough and easy to work with - simply put - Grace is Amazing!!

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Murray is $17 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $26 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.
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 .
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.

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 .
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.
