Thank you Paige for the excellent care you give to Spooky on your visits. Also, thanks for the assistance adjusting the Rover schedule when the winter storm warning made it necessary to return home early. You're the best!

Kyle is the perfect match for my Cane Corso. She’s a strong guardian breed and Kyle was knowledgeable throughout the process of meeting her to ensure a safe interaction. He is patient and kind. She looooooves him. I appreciate his thoroughness in ensuring her needs are met, Makes this dog mom’s heart smile to know she has a good caregiver.

Our first experience with Rover and Lisa was excellent! We felt at ease knowing that our pups were getting good care and attention on each visit. We appreciated the photos and the “report card” as well. Highly recommend Lisa - she communicated with us and went the extra mile.

Katie has been fantastic with my new puppy, playing with her, feeding her, and letting her outside! She has made my job being a nurse with a puppy doable while I work 12 hour shifts, I’m comfortable being at work knowing Katie is dropping in! Looking forward to continuing trusting Katie with my puppy’s care!

I love the pictures and timely visits to my cats while away for christmas. She made sure they were fed and had clean water and took time to play with them even for a few minutes. This was beyond what we expected. I will hire her again if she is available when we go out of town again.

I can't say enough about how awesome Elijah is. He did a meet and greet first and foremost, took notes regarding my preferences, and interacted with Merlin to get him comfortable. Elijah has excellent communication skills and keeps me in the know during each drop in. He has provided me with multiple pictures and a thorough summary. I feel 100% comfortable using his services and Merlin adores him! Honestly, I wish I had found him sooner! I'm truly grateful to have someone like Elijah look after my furbaby. If you're looking for someone to help out with your animals, you absolutely, 100%, need to contact Elijah.

Meredith is wonderful and has been such a huge help to Jax and I! She is prompt, thorough and communicative every time she drops in to check on him and always makes sure he gets plenty of attention along with the basics I request of her. It's obvious she has a large capacity of care for the animals she provides case to and I don't think I could have made a better decision for a sitter. ❤️ ? Thank you, Meredith!

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.

Ashlyn was very responsive and was always on time and gave me multiple pictures so I always knew how things were at home when I was gone. It was a last minute booking and yet she still worked with me and made things happen and I couldn’t recommend a better person to watch a furry friend!

About: I've taken care of my own pets since I was a young child. I also worked at CARE Animal Rescue and volunteered at The Humane Society which means I'm familiar with a variety of animals. I feed, walk, bathe, administer oral medications, play with animals, and overall spoil them. I currently am a stay at home mom who homeschool's her 3 children. We will have plenty of time to spend quality time taking care of your pets needs, playing, cuddling, going for walks, car rides etc. I have a fenced in backyard and 3 fur babies who can help keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your fur baby if needed. Walking our fur babies is part of our daily routine and will include your fur baby too. Our fur babies are fed two times a day however, if your fur baby requires more or less or a special diet I can accommodate that as well. Our fur babies are provided dog beds as a comfy place to lounge during the day or night. At night dogs are allowed to sleep on the bed or a dog bed is available. Fresh clean water is available all day long.

About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember and grew up with them throughout my childhood. While I haven’t been in the right season of life to have a dog of my own just yet, spending time with dogs is something I truly enjoy and value. I love being outdoors, going for walks, and helping dogs burn off energy while having fun. More importantly, I strive to make every dog feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for while they’re with me. I understand that every dog has a unique personality, and I enjoy getting to know what makes them happy and helping them feel at ease. Whether your dog loves long walks, extra attention, playtime, or simply having a calm and caring companion, I’ll treat them with the same kindness and affection I would give my own. My goal is for both you and your dog to feel completely comfortable and confident while they’re in my care. I am currently working from home Monday through Friday, but have lots of flexibility within my schedule throughout the week. I am also available for weekends as needed! I currently live in an apartment, so I provide care in your home or through walks and outdoor exercise in safe, public spaces. In-home care allows your dog to stay in a familiar environment, stick to their normal routine, and feel more comfortable while you’re away. I focus on maintaining consistency with feeding, walks, playtime, and any specific routines your dog is used to. My goal is to reduce stress for both you and your pet by keeping everything as normal and calm as possible. Whether it’s stopping by for walks, spending time with your dog in your home, or making sure they get plenty of exercise and attention outdoors, I prioritize safety, comfort, and trust in every visit.

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 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 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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

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

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 430 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Nixa. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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.

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 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.

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.

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.
