Paige was great! Sent lots of pictures, kept in communication while we were gone, and our dogs were calm and seemed to be very content when we got back from vacation. We will definitely use Paige again!

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.

Sydney is the best! Couldn’t ask for a better person to watch Finnie while we’re away. We have so much peace of mind knowing she’s well cared for and the ability for her to be home has been very comforting. Would recommend her to anyone.

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 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 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.

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: Hi! I’m a huge animal lover and have owned my dog since he was a puppy, so I understand the patience, care, and attention dogs need at every stage. I’ve also helped train both my own dog and dogs for neighbors, which has given me experience with different personalities, routines, and behaviors. I’ll treat your pets like family and make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away! I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets lots of attention, playtime, and care throughout the day. I’m available most weekdays and weekends and can work with your pet’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable and stress-free. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always make sure pets feel secure, loved, and well cared for in both my home and yours. I pay close attention to routines, feeding schedules, walks, and any special instructions to create a safe and trusting environment.

About: I’ve grown up on a farm surrounded by animals my entire life, so caring for pets has always been a natural part of my day-to-day life. Dogs especially have always had a big place in my heart! Growing up, I helped care for our family dogs by feeding, walking, playing with, and keeping an eye on them. Because I’ve been around animals for so many years, I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes, ages, personalities, and energy levels. I know every dog has their own routine and personality, and I’m happy to follow your instructions to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re in my care. I’ll treat your pup like one of my own and make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and cuddles! 🐶❤️ Your pet’s home away from home 🐾 I work from home every day Monday - Friday! My work schedule is from 6 am - 2:30 pm so your baby will have plenty of potty breaks! On our weekends, we mostly stay local and if we have a visitor I try to not go anymore for more than a couple hours at once! We also have camera in our house to check in and make sure everyone is doing okay! Hi! I’m Mckenzie, a lifelong animal lover who knows how important it is to have someone you can genuinely trust with your pets. I’ll treat your fur babies like they’re part of my own family and make sure they get plenty of attention, love, playtime, and cuddles while you’re away! I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I understand that every pet has their own routine and quirks. Whether your pup loves long walks and playtime or would rather spend the day curled up on the couch, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at. I’m also a mom, so patience, responsibility, and keeping up with a busy schedule come pretty naturally to me! I’ll always follow your care instructions closely and keep you updated with pictures and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. I’d love the chance to meet you and your pets! 🐶🐱❤️

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Ozark on Rover is $17.76 per visit (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 440 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Ozark. 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 Ozark 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 Ozark. 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.
