About: I have been taking care of dogs for most of my adult years. I have had all of my dogs from the time they were small puppies until they have become adult and senior dogs. I have worked with both large and small breeds, such as Beagles and German Shepherds. I currently foster/volunteer for Rescue One and enjoy every minute of it. To ensure you and your pet are comfortable, I provide a free meet and greet. I am available early mornings, late afternoons, and evenings during the week. I am more flexible with times on the weekends. However, please feel free to message your needs and I will see if I can accommodate. I am accustomed to set schedules with pets, enrichment, and exercise. I practice strict leash security and will double check all gates, fence, and doors before leaving. There will be 100% transparency and regular, proactive communication with frequent updates and photos or videos. I will adhere to all instructions and specific routines and rules. I am always prompt and respectful.

Lisa is an outstanding pet sitter. She showered my elderly cat with attention and spent extra time comforting and playing with him. Lisa gave my cat multiple medications for his advanced age health conditions without any issues. I wholeheartedly recommend Lisa for your pet sitting needs!

Amazing! Brooke was professional and went above and beyond. She even brought my rained-on packages inside to dry. She was able to ensure my pets got their meds and food as needed.

About: I volunteered with Patriot Paws of Aggieland where I helped to raise and train service dogs for veterans at no cost to those veterans! I have also worked at Sit Means Sit Dog Training. I am very well experienced with dogs! I work everyday but am free after and before work!! I'm excited to meet your babies! On weekends I can be flexible pending work. I do have my own fur babies to take care of but am capable of doing both! I make sure to not let the animals out of my sight for more than 2 minutes! I love to play with them or just lay around depending on what the animal prefers!

About: I’ve cared for and trained my own dogs over the years, so I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your furry family member. I’m home throughout the day, which means your pup will get plenty of attention, frequent potty breaks, playtime, and daily walks. I’m happy to follow your dog’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, medications, crate routines, and any house rules you use at home. My goal is to make their stay feel comfortable, safe, and as much like home as possible! I’m a stay-at-home mom, so I’m able to spend lots of time with the dogs in my care rather than leaving them alone for long periods. We have a fenced yard for supervised play and potty breaks, and I can provide at least one walk each day along with plenty of playtime and attention. I know leaving your dog with someone new can be nerve-racking, especially the first time, so I’m also happy to send pictures and updates throughout their stay. ❤️ Every dog is different, and I’m happy to learn their routine, personality, favorite things, and little quirks so they can feel right at home while they’re here. I have a fenced yard and will play in the yard with them. I will do prioritize comfort and brain stimulation by allowing for a lot of playtime and walks if your dog allows.

About: If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pets like family, you’ve come to the right place. I’ve spent decades caring for animals of all kinds, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who just want a cozy place to rest to fostering bottle fed kittens that I’m just weaning. I’m experienced with a wide range of breeds, personalities, and temperaments, so whether your pet is playful, shy, or somewhere in between, I know how to make them feel safe, happy, and loved. I truly love animals, and it shows in the way I care for them. Your pets will get plenty of attention, affection, and yes—lots of snuggles! I take the time to understand each animal’s unique needs and routine, so they feel comfortable and at ease while you’re away. I can also welcome your pets into my home while you’re gone. I do have my own dogs but my house has two separate areas that can be used. This would include as many potty and sniff breaks as they want in my fenced backyard as well as all the couch snuggles! I’m currently a stay at home mom to school aged kiddos so I have plenty of time to love on your animals! Walks loves and snuggles available! I can provide car in your home or mine! I have a fenced yard at my home and will keep them separate from my animals. I understand how to be respectful in someone else’s home and want to make everyone’s experience positive.

About: I’m currently a veterinary student with a lifelong passion for animals. I’ve been caring for my own dog since I was 13, and since I was 15, I’ve also gained experience pet sitting and boarding through my mother’s Rover business. Over the years, I’ve become comfortable caring for both cats and dogs and understand how important it is to treat every pet with patience, attention, and plenty of love! I’m excited to provide your pets with the same care and attention I would give my own! I’m currently an online student, so I have the flexibility to work at my own pace and complete most of my classes from anywhere. As long as I have my laptop and a textbook with me, I can easily bring my schoolwork along while caring for your pets! This allows me to be flexible with my schedule and spend plenty of quality time with your pets. 💜 I’m very mindful of each pet’s individual needs, including allergies, dietary restrictions, medical needs, and activity limitations. My own pup has a cleft palate and cleft lip, so I understand firsthand how important it is to pay close attention to what a pet can safely eat and how much activity they can handle. I’ll take the time to learn your pet’s routines, needs, and preferences so they can feel safe and comfortable for while you’re away. I’m attentive to the little things and always happy to go the extra mile for your pets! 💜

About: I currently have two dogs of my own and they’re a big part of our family. Most of my experience comes from caring for my own pets. One of which has Addison’s Disease and requires special medication, so daily medication is something I would be comfortable assisting with when caring for other’s pets. I also have several years of experience with house sitting and drop ins for our family members pets. I absolutely love animals and would love to help others by making sure their pets are loved and taken care of while owners are away from home. I currently working full time Mon-Fri but I do have free time in the morning, during my lunch hour, and evenings are free. If morning care is needed it would be prior to 7:00am, my lunch break is around 11:00 each week day, and I’m available after 4:30 during the work week. Weekends are open so I can be more flexible. I don’t offer care to other’s pets in my home but I am happy to come to you! I will take care of your pet where they are most comfortable making the experience less stressful.

About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 15 years through both personal pet ownership and volunteer work. I’ve spent time helping at shelters and rescues, giving me experience with dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and temperaments—including shy rescues and high-energy cats/pups. Over the years, I’ve handled feeding, walking, playtime, administering basic care, and giving lots of love and attention. Volunteering taught me patience and how to adapt to each pet’s personality, whether they need extra cuddles, space, or high-energy play. I truly see pets as family, and I’ll make sure yours feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away! I’m around all day to keep your pet company! I can take quick breaks for walks, playtime, or potty breaks, and they’ll get lots of love and attention. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I treat every pet as if they were my own, following their routines and preferences closely. I keep a clean, calm environment and make sure pets are always secure—whether that means double-checking gates, using leashes properly, or keeping toxic items out of reach. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can relax knowing their pet is happy and safe.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Nixa on Rover is $16.65 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 198 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Nixa. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

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

  • 97% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% 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 cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
