“Elizabeth was simply wonderful! Kind, courteous, and accommodating, and all three of my pets just love her. I would highly recommend her to anyone. Thank you Elizabeth!!!”
“Shantanice was amazing! She took excellent care of our home and kept us updated with plenty of photos and videos, which gave us great peace of mind. Our dogs clearly loved her and were so happy and well cared for when we returned. We would absolutely hire her again without hesitation!”
“Karen was a great sitter for our corgi. She spent plenty of time with her and updated us regularly with pictures. It was so nice to not have to worry about our pup while we were travelling!”
“Karrie was fantastic! She stayed in our home, which helped our dogs feel comfortable and relaxed right away. She kept them on their usual routine, so we never had to worry while we were away. She was also a wonderful house guest and even washed dishes and bedding before she left. We couldn't have asked for better care and will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Bridget was very communicative the whole time we were gone and gave updates and sent pictures. She worked great with both dogs and their specific needs throughout the weekend. She gave our older dog all the meds she needed and worked with our other anxious dog to make sure he was calm and relaxed. She’s very knowledgeable about dogs.”
“Mackenzie was outstanding! I had high anxiety about leaving my dogs with essentially a stranger. Mackenzie did such an amazing job keeping me updated on their care. I felt confident that she was giving the same care and attention as I would have given them. I was gone for 5 days and had no worries or anxiety about leaving my pups. I will definitely be using Mackenzie's services again and will recommend her to everyone I know. So grateful to Mackenzie for taking care of my babies.”
“Parker watched our 2 dogs and 1 cat at our house while we were out of town, and took great care of them. He provided photos and updates to let us know all was going well. We would happily hire him again. Thanks Parker!”
“Alyssa did a great job with our anxious doggies! They seemed very content when we came back from our trip which is a testament to how well she did with them and how comfortable they were with her. We will definitely look to her in the future!”
About: I grew up on a farm. We had dogs, cats, horses, chickens, and ducks! I miss having them around. I’m excited to help take care of yours! I am retired from the airlines, I paint part-time. I do travel, but I am very flexible with my hours! I love to exercise and walk daily! I would be glad to take care of your pet at your home. I love going for walks, caring for animals, giving them attention! You give me the instructions and I can do it!
About: I’ve been caring for animals ever since i was a little girl. I started looking after pets at just 6 years old, and now at 17, I’ve had years of real hands-on experience. I grew up with my little dog Zeus, three sweet cats, and most recently I rescued a pit bull named Chico right off the streets. Because of that, I’m comfortable working with pets of all sizes and personalities. I’m great at walking and running dogs, giving baths, and most importantly, showing them love, comfort, and attention. I treat every animal like my own, and I always make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. My weekly routine looks like doing online school from 9am-2pm so i can be available after school on weekdays or on weekends i can typically do mornings better depending on your pets needs! I unfortunately do not have a yard but if your fur baby loves walks i have a lot of walking area. I always make sure pets feel safe, calm, and comfortable with me. I take time to build trust by moving at their pace, learning what they like, and giving them gentle attention. Whether I’m in your home or walking them outside, I create a positive, calm environment where your pet can relax and feel loved.
About: I have tons of experience house/pet sitting for two large dogs and a cat. I also own two of my own cats who I love very much! I am a State Employee, and think of myself as almost overly-responsible. I am active and enjoy playing and walking with pets! I hope I get to meet your pets :) I work fulltime in Kansas City, Kansas. I am available after 5 pm M-TR and anytime after noon on Fridays. Weekends are completely available for me. I do not have a yard, but I do have tons of cat toys and treats. I have a small carrier that will accommodate cats and small dogs.
“Helen is just wonderful and I am so grateful to have found her! She took great care of our two fur babies as well as our house for 10 days. We came back to a clean house and happy dogs. Helen was excellent at providing updates and responding to any messages I sent in a timely manner. I never felt uneasy with our fur babies being in her care. It was a great feeling to be able to enjoy our vacation knowing our babies and home were being looked after and taken care of. I highly recommend and will be a repeat client. Thanks Helen!”
About: I have several years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and energy levels. I started out by dog sitting for my family, and over time I’ve become the go-to person whenever someone needs reliable, loving care for their pets. I regularly dog sit my dad’s 5-year-old Husky, who often stays with me for weeks at a time. I’m comfortable with high-energy dogs and know how important daily exercise and mental stimulation are—especially for working breeds. I also care for my mom and step-dad’s two Pomskies. I’ve stayed in their home for a full week and have also hosted them at mine for extended periods. I’m familiar with routines, feeding schedules, crate use, and keeping dogs comfortable in new environments. Most recently, I watched my sister’s two mixed-breed dogs (a Bernedoodle and a Malinois/Boxer mix) for nine days in their home. They’re very active, so I built their days around walks, play, enrichment activities, and plenty of affection to keep them happy and engaged. Because I’ve cared for multiple dogs at one time and for extended stays, I’m confident managing different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I treat every dog like my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and well-cared for while you’re away. I work a regular schedule from 8:00–4:30 each day, but I build pet care into my daily routine. I’m able to come home on my lunch break to let animals out, check in, or take them for a quick walk. I’m also available on Saturdays after 12:30 PM, and I’m fully available all day on Sundays and Mondays. This gives me plenty of flexibility for drop-ins, walks, or hosting dogs that do well with a predictable routine. In Clients’ Homes: I respect each home and follow all instructions carefully. I stick to your dog’s daily routine, including feeding times, walks, medication, crate training, or any special needs. I keep dogs engaged through walks, play, structured downtime, and enrichment tailored to their personality. I also provide updates and photos so you always know how your pets are doing. I have experience caring for high-energy breeds, multi-dog households, and long-term stays, so I’m confident adapting to whatever your pet needs to feel happy and secure.
About: Hi! We’re Jordan and Austin, and we’re getting married this February after recently moving into our first home together in Parkville, Missouri. We’ve both had dogs our entire lives and absolutely love them, but since we’ll be traveling a lot this year before getting one of our own, we’d love the opportunity to care for other people’s pets and get our much-needed dose of puppy love along the way! One of us is almost always home! I work both from home and in the field, and my fiancé works from home full-time, so your pup will have plenty of company, attention, and love throughout the day. We’re available on weekdays and most weekends, and if our schedule ever changes, we’ll update our calendar accordingly. We can’t wait to meet your furry family member and give them all the playtime, cuddles, and care they deserve! Your pet’s safety and comfort are our top priorities. We have a large, fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely run and play, a spacious basement for indoor playtime when the weather isn’t ideal, and a beautiful neighborhood with great sidewalks for daily walks. Since we don’t have any pets of our own, your furry family member will receive our full attention, plenty of one-on-one care, and lots of love in a calm, safe, and comfortable home.
About: As a proud dog mom to a German Shepherd and a Golden Retriever, I know firsthand that every dog has their own personality, quirks, and needs! From energetic walks and endless games of fetch to couch cuddles and belly rubs, I love making sure every pup feels happy, comfortable, and cared for. Having two large dogs of my own has given me plenty of experience managing different energy levels, personalities, and routines. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I promise to treat your pets with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own! I’m also more than happy to send plenty of pictures and updates along the way, because I know how much it means to see your babies happy while you’re away! I work in marketing and have a flexible schedule, which makes it easy for me to incorporate pet care into my daily routine! As a dog mom to two pups of my own, walks, playtime, and plenty of love are already part of my everyday life. I’m happy to accommodate morning, afternoon, or evening visits, as well as weekends, depending on availability. I know how important it is to keep pets on their usual schedules, so I’ll always do my best to work around their routines and make sure they get the attention and care they deserve! I believe pets are happiest when they feel safe, comfortable, and loved, especially when their favorite humans are away! Since I offer care in your home, my goal is to keep your pet’s routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I’ll always follow your instructions closely, from feeding schedules and walks to medications, playtime, and any special preferences your pet may have. I’m attentive to each pet’s personality, energy level, and comfort, and I’ll make sure they receive plenty of love and attention while respecting their boundaries. I also understand that you’re trusting me with both your furry family member and your home, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly! I’ll treat your space with care, prioritize your pet’s safety, and send regular pictures and updates so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands.
About: Hi, my name is Philip and I love dogs. Through my life so far I have always been jealous of my friends whose parents allowed them to have a dog. But I take every opportunity that I can to play and care for dogs That being said, I have helped care for a couple of neighbors dogs and take them on many walks. One of them was German Shepherd puppy that I even was able to train and I grew quite attached. Whenever I am able to move out I plan to get a German shepherd for myself because of how much I loved my neighbor's puppy. I am currently working part time so I have a good bit free time on most days. I can walk or dog/cat sit weekdays and weekends most of the time until I get a full time job! I can care for a pet in your own environment however you would like me too, I'm very open and flexible as long as I have clear instructions and resources. I'm up to almost any task!
“James agreed to watch my puppy on short notice and he did a great job. He sent me text and photo updates of how my puppy was doing. I would highly recommend his services.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Parkville is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Parkville
We cannot say enough wonderful things about Savannah. She stayed with our dogs over a holiday weekend and went above and beyond in every possible way. She kept us updated with frequent messages and photos which gave us so much peace of mind knowing our pups were happy, safe, and well cared for. One of our dogs escaped the backyard during a storm!!! Savannah remained calm, acted quickly, and worked with our neighbor to get her safely back home. Knowing our dog was in such capable hands during a stressful situation meant the world to us. She also did an amazing job managing the special dietary needs of one of our dogs, who is currently dealing with some health issues. As if that wasn't enough, Savannah took care of extra things around the house that we never expected, including taking out the trash, doing the dishes, and even repaired a broken flag holder that had been damaged during the storm. And the sweetest surprise of all: she painted two beautiful portraits of our dogs for us. They are absolutely gorgeous and will be treasured for years to come. Savannah is responsible, thoughtful, communicative, and truly cares for both the pets and the families she works with. We came home to happy dogs, a well-cared-for home, and hearts full of gratitude. We would hire her again in a heartbeat and recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for an exceptional pet sitter. Thank you, Savannah, for treating our pups like your own and for going so far above and beyond. You are amazing!
Michael was wonderful! He took excellent care of Duchess over Labor Day and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. He was reliable, communicative, and attentive to her needs. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for cat. I would absolutely book with Michael again and highly recommend him!
Lexie was absolutely wonderful with our sweet Tilly! She was attentive, caring, and so loving, and we felt completely at ease knowing Tilly was in her care. She sent regular updates and was incredibly easy to communicate with throughout her stay. We are so grateful for the love and attention she gave our girl and will definitely be entrusting Tilly to her care again! 🩷
Allie went above and beyond. She kept our dogs safe, happy, and loved, sent regular photo updates, and her communication was excellent. The house was cleaned up perfectly when we returned. We would 100% book her again and recommend her to anyone needing a pet sitter!
If I could leave Marianna a 500 star review, that still wouldn’t be enough. I needed last minute care due to a medical emergency, and she not only accommodated my need with less than 18 hours notice, but she did so with a level of care for my kitties that I have never experienced before. Within 15 minutes of her arrival, I had photos and videos of all of my babies (which is no small feat in itself), and she continued to provide multiple updates, photos, and videos. She was so so so loving and gentle with my kitties, stayed with them all day and overnight, and gave me the comfort and reassurance I was desperately needing. I will absolutely be hiring her every time I need a sitter moving forward (hopefully sans the hospital stay and ideally for a fun getaway instead). Thank you so much, Marianna. There are not enough ways to express my gratitude!
This was our first time using Rover and our first time working with Christina, and as people who are new to town without a pet-sitting network yet, we were understandably a little nervous leaving our home and animals with someone new—especially for a 10-day international trip. We could not have been luckier to find Christina. From the start, she was kind, friendly, professional, and incredibly reassuring. She cared for our crew as if they were her own: two border collies (one very outgoing BC who demands constant attention and one shy, anxious BC who prefers to be hand-fed) plus a nocturnal, vocal cat. She handled every personality with patience, understanding, and genuine care. Christina communicated consistently and thoroughly, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Because of her, we felt confident leaving for such a long trip—and we returned to happy, well-cared-for pets. Not only has Christina become our trusted pet sitter, she has truly become a treasured new friend. We would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for exceptional care, professionalism, and kindness.
Kylee stayed in my apartment over the weekend and was absolutely amazing with a dog who cant be around kids or other dogs. Extremely response, overall super nice person. I came home and my freaking bed was made and the dishes were done!!!!! I mean come on, I dont think my dog was the one that did those things. This is someone you want with your dog.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Parkville is $39 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $86 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 1,478 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Parkville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Parkville 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 Parkville 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 Parkville 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 Rover Guarantee, 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.
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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Parkville. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
