About: I’ve grown up around dogs and cats my entire life and have always loved caring for animals. I’m comfortable with pets of different personalities and enjoy giving them attention, playtime, walks, and plenty of love. I also go on a walk every day myself, so I’d genuinely enjoy having a furry companion along for the adventure! I’m dependable, patient, and will treat your pets like they’re my own. I am a stay at home mom with a very flexible schedule! My daughter LOVES dogs and we enjoy getting out of the house, playing with pets, and going on walks at parks and in neighborhoods! I can do anything and everything you would instruct me with to provide for your pets care! We can play, spend time outside, and have treats :)
“Breelyn looked after my pets during a holiday. She was attentive and always made sure to keep me updated about any potential issues. She was always quick to respond to any of my inquiries. I would highly recommend Breelyn for anyone’s pet needs. Your pets will be in excellent hands. I would 100% retain Breelyn to care for my pets again.”

About: Hello! I’m an experienced animal caregiver with nearly four years of hands-on work as a kennel technician, ensuring pets are safe, comfortable, and happy. I’ve also completed specialized training and worked at Hounds Town Springfield South, so I’m well-versed in maintaining clean, secure environments and managing playgroups. Safety is my top priority. I can't wait to meet your furry friend! I’m available all weekends, as well as before 12 PM and after 5:30 PM on weekdays, but I occasional work as early as 8 AM. With nearly four years of professional experience as a kennel technician and at a pet resort, I provide reliable care, feeding, and attention to keep your furry friend happy and safe. When caring for your pets in your home, I ensure their daily routine is maintained with the utmost attention to their comfort and safety. I provide reliable feeding, fresh water, thorough litter box or outdoor care, and plenty of playtime and affection.
About: I have helped my newfie give birth 4 times. I have done all the nitty gritty. I will do whatever it takes to take care of my girl. I take better care of her than I do myself. She only gets filtered clean cold water. She has the highest quality dog food and treats. She has an orthopedic memory form bed to sleep on. She has a custom harness with her name and my number. I promise I will take care of your animal just as well as I take care of mine. I work full time. From 7-3 but after I am free. I can let your dog out before work and after. Spend the evening there if needed. Walk, water, feed, and administer medicine. I have an orthopedic memory foam bed because my dog is big. She gets filtered, cold water. Highest quality kibble. Salmon skin for dog treats. Daily walks.
“Our Boxer rescue dog had a wonderful visit with Lael and her dogs Willow and Scout. He can't wait to go back! We were VERY impressed with Lael's passion for animals. Her home is very pet friendly and welcoming. We strongly recommend her!!”
“Sam was amazing!!! I’m an over-protective cat momma and she did everything on my list perfectly while I was out of the country. And she kept me updated every day—including sending photos. She has excellent instincts and can read cats’ mood and personalities very well. Sam interacted with all 4 kitties and cared about their individual quirks. Since I worry about the kitties getting lonely, having her stay in my spare bedroom was awesome. I truly hope Sam is available whenever I take future trips.”
About: I have taken care of many kinds of pets ever since I was 10 years old. I have experience giving baths, giving medication, leash walking, post surgery care and scheduled feeding times. I am currently working full time but have free time on the weekends to stop in or take your precious fur babies on a walk. I have a small fenced in area for potty breaks and am comfortable crating your pet if needed. I have two dogs of my own that are very friendly and can keep your babies company as well.
About: Please send me all of your cute fur babies my way! Hi, there! I’m Korina. I naturally have a calm, peaceful presence, so I would be a great match for your anxious, senior, shy, low energy or more laid-back dogs or cats. What sets me apart is that I work remotely, which allows me to be present with pets throughout the day rather than leaving them alone for long periods. This gives me the availability to respond to their needs, routines, and energy levels. I’ve had experience with animals for many years. I previously owned a black lab named Aurora, and I currently have an orange cat of my own. I also have regularly helped care for my mother’s two dogs — a Maltese Schnauzer and a Golden Retriever — and I’ve looked after my sister’s dog multiple times in the past as well. Animals tend to gravitate toward me because I pay close attention to their body language, boundaries, and personalities. I’m very mindful of their cues and comfort levels, which helps me understand what they need more or less from me. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I’d be happy to give your pet the attention, care, and companionship they deserve. If I’m housesitting, I’m practically readily available. I work a full-time remote job that would allow me to be present and handle the tasks needed to care for your pets. I would have time to see them in intervals multiple times a day with no problem and with plenty of time for play. But if I do drop in visits, I can do 2-3 drop in’s a day. 1st at 7:00-8:00a, 2nd at 11a-1:30p and 3rd at 4:30p-10p - depending on my work schedule and the daily demand. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat the space with the understanding that it is first and foremost your pet’s home and safe environment. I’m very respectful of both the home and the routines that your pet is used to. I keep the environment calm, clean, and consistent so your pet feels comfortable while you’re away. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and house rules. I aim to maintain the same peaceful atmosphere your pet is used to. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, relaxed, and cared for, while also treating your home with the same respect I would my own.
About: I treat every pet like they’re my own—with lots of love, patience, and attention. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or cuddles, I’m here to make sure your pet feels safe and happy while you’re away. You can count on regular updates and plenty of cute pics! I work a regular job during the week and am mostly available Thursdays through Sundays to pet sit. I usually always have that whole weekend off so whenever you need someone to watch for those days, I am always available. I spoil my pets. I give them lots of treats and lots of love and I will do the same for my clients pets and whatever they need me to do

She did more than just check in and make sure the bowl was full, she made sure our cat was well and gave her the attention and love she needed. Though our cat was scared and shy, she was persistent and thorough. Giving the piece of mind you want. Reassuring our cats well-being. Would give her 200 out of 5 stars if I could!

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Nixa is $17 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $10 and $26 per visit.

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 .
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 .

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.
