About: My experience comes from years of caring for my own dog "Griffey" and cat "Miss Kitty", along with pets belonging to friends and family. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, routine, and comfort level. I’m patient, dependable, attentive, and committed to following your instructions carefully. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, companionship, or a calm presence, I’ll treat them with the same love and care I give my own and keep you updated so you can feel completely at ease. I joined Rover because I miss having my dog in my everyday life. He is currently staying with my parents back home in north-central Kansas. My dad’s health isn’t the best, and my dog brings him a great deal of comfort, so I know he is where he needs to be for now. I return home about once a month to visit them. Feel free to reach out with any questions. Best Shawn Phelps I currently have a very flexible schedule and am available most weekdays, weekends, and holidays. I can often accommodate short-notice requests and easily work around your pet’s regular feeding, playtime, and care routine. I prefer caring for pets in their own homes, where they can feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed in familiar surroundings. I will follow each pet’s normal routine, carefully secure doors and gates, respect the client’s home, and provide regular updates and photos. I have a friendly cat at home who gets along well with dogs but prefers not to be around other cats. Because of that, I would care for cats in their own homes but may welcome dogs into mine after a meet-and-greet. I’m flexible and always willing to discuss the safest arrangement for each pet.
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all sizes since I was 10. I’ve always loved being able to care for my loved ones pets, whether it be walking, bathing, or feeding them. I have had almost any pet you can imagine, and it brightens my day to be surrounded by animals. I am a driven and caring student wanting to put myself through college, and make animals happy! I’m currently working a flexible schedule where I can choose my own hours, so I am practically available whenever I am needed. I am available on weekends and weekdays. I have a large dog and cat friendly home with a fenced yard and a walking trail by the water that would be enjoyable for dog walks. There are no children in the home, and I have a friendly dog and cat who loves to play if allowed.
“Tess takes such excellent care of our dogs. She takes care to send messages and updates as on the agreed upon schedule. She went above and beyond caring for them and we have already booked her again.”
“She did an amazing job taking care of Coco and truly went above and beyond. She took her on long walks, sent plenty of pictures, and kept me proactively updated the entire time. She was reliable, caring, and great to work with, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter.”

“Elijah did a wonderful job taking care of our two dogs and our cat while we were away for over two weeks. He took the time to meet our pets beforehand, which made us feel comfortable leaving them in his care. Throughout our trip, he sent regular pictures and updates that gave us peace of mind. His schedule required a little flexibility on a few days, but he communicated well, and it had no impact on our pets' care. We came home to happy, healthy animals and had no issues with our home. We really appreciate the care Elijah provided and will definitely be using him again. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Osage Mills walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Osage Mills maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Osage Mills 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!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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 .
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.
