About: I have taken care of pets for over 33 years ever since getting my first dog at 7 years old. I’ve had dogs of all sizes and shapes including a Lhasa Apso, King Charles Spaniel, Golden Retrievers, Pitbull, Shihpoo, and Heeler/Daschund mix. They’ve ranged in ages from 8 week old puppy to 5 year old rescue when I brought them home and I nursed many through their senior years. Of course I love all pets so I’ve also had Bunnies, Fish, Cats, hermit crabs, frogs, and more. I love them all! Currently in my home I have a 1 year old Shihpoo name Mocha and a 5 year old Heeler/Dauschund mix named Luna. I promise to take care of your fur babies just as if they were mine! I am a single mother with lots of time on my hands to love on pets. I have a daughter in Junior High and a son in High School so I do run them back and forth to their activities but otherwise I’m ready to spend time with the fur babies. I have a fenced in backyard in a quiet neighborhood. I have a couple big trees for shade while pets are playing outdoors and a covered back porch for relaxing.
“Paige was wonderful! She took care of my two cats and my home while I was away. She went above and beyond, was timely, and very communicative. I loved her updates! It was such a relief to have someone I felt I could trust in my home with my animals. I will absolutely be re-booking with her and would absolutely recommend her!”
“Above and beyond sitter! Sydney and her husband always make us feel at ease when we are away from our kitties. They go above and beyond with extra details and really put in effort to love our kitties as we do. I cannot recommend them enough and I will absolutely rebook again. Thank you so much for all you do!”
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.
“Cat person here! She was wonderful and as a first timer leaving my little purrmonster, she goes above and beyond the call of duty to make sure my baby’s is happy safe and well!”
“Lisa was absolutely amazing!! We went out of the country for 10 days and Lisa took such great care of our 2 cats. I would highly recommend Lisa!! We will be using her again in the future. She updated us daily and sent us pics everyday. She was very responsive and is such a nice and caring person. We are so thankful for her and all her hard work to take care of our fur babies. If you need a pet sitter, Lisa is the #1 choice!”
About: My husband WFH while I love on pets full time! We have fostered through rescue organizations for 6 years now, always a rewarding experience! We used to do Rover full time in Kansas City KS, 2022-2024 before moving to our current house in MO. I helped raise 4 tiny puppies and found them furever homes. We have hosted up to 11 dogs at once utilizing 3 sections of the house as play group areas and rotation outside every couple hours. We recently fostered a puppy, Millie, who turned out to have a terminal life threatening illness. We adopted her and cared for her until her time to go was up. We also have a 6 year old dog that is now epileptic and on daily seizure meds. We have experience with all ages and medical conditions of life. As for training, I taught my first dog how to use buttons to communicate, crate train, and the regular dog commands. This is my full time job, my life's purpose, all thanks to my supportive husband who works from home. Every dog deserves the devotional and loyal love they give so freely! I am here to give back to them all the love they share and more. Through life I have learned that Safety and Trust are key to every relationship and home environment. Before integrating the dogs together, it is imperative I spend intentional time with the new dog to help it adjust to its new environment or to my new presence.
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’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’ve always had a special love for animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m dependable, patient, attentive, and enjoy giving pets plenty of love, companionship, playtime, and individual attention. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’m retired and I have a lot of available time to care for your pet(s). I am open about discussing my availability to best work with your schedule! I have had a lot of different animals in my life, currently I have 4 cats and a dog. All of my pets have been loved as if they were family. My goal for your pet(s) is to make them feel just as loved!
“Amber was great! We had her do drop ins for 3 dogs. She communicated well, took lots of pictures, and my dogs seemed much better when we got home than they do when we board them. I would highly recommend and will book with her again!”
“Megan and Patrick did great with my cats! They were well fed and comfortable when I got home. I got picture updates of each cat every time they stopped by. They were also quick to respond to any messages.”
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!
“Mickayla was able to help me out last minute with a drop-in visit on my 2 dogs & she was amazing! She sent lots of pictures and my dogs were fed & happy when i got home. I absolutely will be contacting her for future visits!”
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 had a dog and we had to put her down last summer. We had dogs as a kid. And I love taking care of my neighbors and friends dogs.

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 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.

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 Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
