“Paige was AMAZING with my two very different personality pups. She sent so many updates and pictures which made me feel comfortable leaving them while out of town. She was also super understanding and willing to extend her stay when we were dealing with crazy flight delays. I would highly recommend Paige to everyone!”
“What can we say? Our English Bulldog and small cat are asking when we're going on vacay again. Melissa is now in high demand by our animals' and us! Melissa possesses a beautiful heart who loves and respects animals and humans alike. Melissa is an answer to prayer. She has a Spirit of Excellence and exceeds expectations.”
“Josh and Tiffany were great. We so loved the adorable stories/updates with every little detail and pictures attached that Josh sent. And he even vacuumed. Along with Willie’s green chicken cleaned and laying on the bed. All of those little touches meant a lot. We will definitely ask them to come back to watch our fur babies.”
About: Is your dog passionate in the great outdoors with bundles of energy to go with?; if so I love sharing nature's experiences with man's best friend. Whether is hiking, running, a scenic walk, or just playing, I am always excited for a new experience. Rain or shine, winter or summer, day or night, I am always ready for an adventure. If your pup is ready to see new sights, explore new terrain, and experience a whole new level of play, I might just be their new Second best friend. I'm currently working as needed with best availability being in the afternoon's and night! I am available all 7 days of the week. I can also do early mornings on occasion. While we're on walks or having sleepovers, I'll have a backpack full of fun, with toys, treats, and water. So there will always be excitement and care no matter the time of day.
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.
“We could not be more pleased with Jonna. She kept us informed with just enough texts and pictures that we knew thery were being well cared for. One example included "We all fell asleep on the couch last night." We knew all was well as that is typical of my wife and her "babies". We will would give 10 stars if we could.”
“Jadyn was great. He took care of my English mastiff for 2 weeks and I came back home to a happy, healthy dog and a clean house. Would highly recommend Jadyn to take care of your pets!”

About: Growing up at a house where we treated our furry friends like family has taught me the best way to grow connection with any animal. Currently, I do work full-time in the city so coming home to your furry friend so they have someone to spend Time would work best with me. The safety of your family is first in mind whether that be keeping them on a leash while walking them or making sure they get their medication's or eat the right diet trust that I will keep them safe.
About: I’ve had a deep passion for animals since I could remember. I currently live on my families compound farm where animals take up the majority of my day! Dogs in particular have been a very serious part of my life. The last 3 years I have taken dog training seriously and learned the techniques and canine behavior behind almost every breed. There hasn’t been a dog i’ve met that I haven’t loved! Booking with me will provide your dog with proper care but also socialization to goats, cattle, chickens and lots of new smells (all within the safety your dog needs). Im currently a student at a local college during the fall and spring months and work part time during the summer so I have a lot of free time to tend to your animals! I have a fenced in yard and two friendly dogs in the home to keep your dog company! As well as many open fields to go on long walks and play!
“Gracie was AMAZING! She was wonderful with our dogs and they were well taken care of. She had great communication and kept us up to date while we were away! We will definitely be booking with Gracie again!”
“Daemon and Taylar took wonderful care of our pets. We have two dogs and a cat and they communicated well, sent photos and left our home in great condition. The pets were happy, healthy and greeted us per usual when we returned. After texting and then doing a meet and greet with Daemon I felt completely comfortable leaving our babies in their care. It was so nice knowing this kind couple would be providing, TLC to our beloved family members. I highly recommend Daemon and Taylar!”
“Kelly did a great job with Katie! She communicated often and sent us pictures so we could see Katie while we were gone). Kelly is super responsible and thorough! I’d recommend Kelly everyday!”
“This was our first time using Rover and Aliyah completely exceeded our expectations! We booked her just a few days before we needed her to dog + house sit, so we met just a couple hours before we left for the weekend and wanted her back at the house. Nevertheless, she showed up to meet us when we needed her there and even came in with treats at the ready for our pup, Thor! He immediately felt at ease with her and excited to be around her. We also met her partner who was also very professional and personable! They both, very much so, came off as dog loving people and were eager to meet Thor and use the commands we also use for him. Aliyah communicated with us and sent picture updates while we were away, which we definitely appreciated! She cuddled our dog and left our house clean and safe!! To put a cherry op top, she even left a baggie of treats for Thor with a note thanking us for the hospitality. If you are needing someone in the area to show your pup some love and trust them with watching and caring for your dog while you are away, I can’t recommend Aliyah enough! Definitely will be using her again!!”
“Brinkley was amazing she took fantastic care of our animals, was very good with communicating with us, and left the house in better condition then when she arrived. Thank you so much for everything and we highly recommend her.”

I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter. From the start, Emma was professional, responsive, and genuinely caring. She kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. My dog can be a bit needy, but she handled everything perfectly and made sure my pup felt safe and loved. I came home to a happy dog and a tidy home — the best feeling after traveling. I highly recommend Emma to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate sitter!

The average cost of House Sitting in Ozark is $39 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $26 and $48 per night.

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 Ozark 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 Ozark 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 Ozark 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.
