About: I love working with animals! Friends and family have always relied on me to take care of their pets. I’ve taken care of countless animals, volunteer at an animal shelter, have had multiple pets over the years, and have a hobby of rescuing stray animals. I would love to help with anything needed. Please reach out! I am currently looking for a summer job before attending college in August. I am free almost any day this summer to come and take care of your fur baby! I have lots of experience wrangling dogs and cats of all kinds. I am an experienced sitter who prioritizes safety and happiness of the animal.
“Olivia watched over our fur baby with the utmost care and diligence! Her reports were thorough, and her communication was spectacular. This was the longest my husband and I had left our cat, and we were nervous about it. Olivia put our minds to ease because of her open communication and frequent updates. We knew our boy was getting the best care possible, so we could truly relax and enjoy our trip. She truly went above and beyond, not just keeping our cat happy and healthy, but Olivia also took care of our home and kept it tidy and clean. I cannot recommend her enough! She truly cares about the pets she watches, and she is just a genuinely kind and dedicated person. You will not be disappointed by booking with her!”
About: I’m a stay at home mom who manages our small hobby farm. I have ten years of hands-on animal care and I have been around many dogs in that time. I am very active and love to be outside, rain or shine. I have a 6 year old mix we rescued from a shelter I volunteer at locally. We got her when she was just a year old and struggling to acclimate. She’s our little couch potato and will snuggle anyone. She is the most kind and gentle momma. I have experience with high energy and high anxiety dogs. No dog is too big or too small for me. I also have experience giving dogs medication and feeding on schedules. I like to go above and beyond to ensure your pets get treated like mine would. I work from home managing our small hobby farm. I make my own schedule so I can be flexible most days! I am up at 6 am with the sun and available. I respect your home and your animal just as I would my own. I know it can be stressful having someone in your home and around your pets so I communicate a lot! My home has a large 6 ft. fenced in yard and beyond that is our fields. The farm is separate from the home and yard area and your pet will never go up to the farm.
“Jodi was great and I’ll definitely use her again. She was punctual, followed the instructions to a T, sent me several pictures of my fur babies, and the dogs seemed to love her. She even got my finicky eater to eat her dinner.”
About: I have always had pets (dogs mostly) and love them! I will love your babies as if they were my own! I hope you pick me! I have recently retired and am looking for something gratifying to help other Dog owners with the care of their pet! I know how stressful it can be when you have to leave your pet for any length of time and would love to relieve that stress for you! 😊 I have a fenced in yard with a senior dog, Bella. She is such a great dog and is so aloof, like nothing bothers her! I am unable to board certain breeds due to home insurance restrictions and my senior dog so may not be able to accept every request, however, I haven’t turned one down yet!
About: I have experience with exotics, dogs, and cats. I have owned dogs for all of my life and the last 7 years I have owned many exotics. I am available full time 7 days a week. I can also do overnights at the pet owners’ house or my house. I also have a fenced back yard. I would take care of the client’s pets the same as I would treat my own pets. I would feed and give fresh water, as well as walk them. If I see anything that concerns me, I would contact the client’s vet or go to the Emergency Vet Clinic.
About: I grew up with a variety of animals at a young age, always taking care to learn their personalities and individual needs. I was entrusted with pet sitting for friends and family growing up. I currently work full time, ideal pet drop ins would be early in the morning(6am-7:15am) and the afternoons or evenings from 4:30-9pm depending on location. Mondays 4:30-5pm or after 6:30pm. The weekends allow me more frequent, open, and flexible availability for drop ins and walks. I’m open to discussing any times that you need and trying to find a compromise! While caring for pets I like to keep them within eye sight at all times while interacting based on their body language and personality type.
About: I've taken care of friends dogs and cats as well as my own over the last 15+ years. I treat others pets like my own. I have pretty much open availability to work with many different schedules for pets and their owners. I'm pretty flexible to work with any hours needed. I have extra crates if needed. I let animals out frequently and we always make sure no doors are left open that animals could get out of. We do not crate at night unless owners would prefer that or if it is a puppy. Home full time so can provide many different types of care depending on each pets specific needs. We do have kids in the home at all times. We keep doors closed and stairs gated so we can keep a close eye on all animals in our care. We feed all dogs in separate areas so there's no chance of food aggression.
About: Experienced in puppy training, special feeding/medication needs, and senior dogs.I have been caring for animals in some form or another for all of my life. Rest assured your pets are in good hands. I currently am a stay at home dog/bird dad! Therefore, my schedule is open, flexible, and able to suit the needs of you and your pets! Depending on your home and pets needs, I can make anything work! My wife and I have crate trained both our dogs and understand the necessity for a pet's safe place as well as time to play and socialize.
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.
About: I’ve cared for a wide range of animals including dogs, cats, and reptiles, with experience in feeding, bathing, administering basic care, and recognizing signs of illness or stress. I’m especially patient with anxious pets and take time to build trust, making them feel safe and comfortable. I also have experience with multiple-pet households and understand how to manage different personalities and needs at once. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, as I prioritize time for feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day. I’m flexible and able to adjust my schedule to meet each pet’s specific needs, including early mornings, evenings, and weekends when needed. I create a safe, clean, and stress-free environment by closely following each pet’s routine and owner instructions. I always ensure secure spaces, monitor behavior, and provide constant supervision when needed. In clients’ homes, I respect their space while keeping pets comfortable in their familiar environment. I focus on building trust with both pets and owners through reliable, attentive care.
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats since I was a child. They are not like family, they are family. Many friends and relatives have entrusted me to care for their pets for short and long stays at my home where they receive love, attention, play, and care. When caring for your pets, they will not be alone for more than 4 hours at a time during the weekday. Evenings and weeknights they will not be alone for more than an hour at a time. I have a large fenced yard and close access to a public park for walks. I enjoy playing with animals and giving them attention and care.
“Kelly is absolutely amazing!! Our pups LOVE when she visits. Our Abby girl can be anxious and not easy or drink but not with Kelly! It's wonderful to know they're loved and taken care of with Kelly.”

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Nixa stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Nixa 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 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 dog, 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.
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 Nixa with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
