About: I have taken care of two German shepherds a handful of times. I also have experience with cats but not as much. I love animals and willing to be flexible. Always follow your guys rules and wishes. So I work: Monday, Wednesday, Thursday - 7:30am -4 pm Tuesdays - all day availability Friday - 7:30am - 1pm I’m pretty flexible with times. My nights are usually always open. I’m an early riser as well so I can possibly be there in the morning for a quick walk/visit. I handle them with love, care, and passion! I want animals but I’m not allowed to have them in my apartment. I’m always available to call and text. I’m good at communicating and rule following.
“Marianne was absolutely delightful at our meet and greet, and the gang 🐾 loved her from the start! The pics each visit felt very personal, and I knew my babies were in good hands!”
“Heather was great with drop in care for our pups. Even got them out for a walk which was great! Prompt communication and great meet and greet. High recommend, will book with her again for our next trip”
“Alyssa has taken fantastic care of our mini aussiedoodle, Leia, over the last week. Leia is a very anxious dog so I was very reassured to see Alyssa so easily develop rapport & trust with her. She will treat your pet like her own. She provides frequent and detailed updates throughout the visit and shares awesome videos / pictures playing with Leia. If you're looking for a sitter your pet is in good hands with Alyssa.”
About: I grew up on a farm, so I’ve always had animals/pets in my life. I’ve owned everything from small dogs to big dogs and cats. I’m a teacher so all pet care will have to be in the evening after school. I typically will finish the school day at 3:30. I own two cats and provide them with safe home environment with plenty of enrichment. I will make sure that your pet is well taken care of and they’ll have a fun time too.
“Elizabeth watched our kitty for Labor Day weekend and did a fantastic job! He was very comfortable with her and she kept us updated with details about his habits when we were gone. She played with him a bunch and he seemed low-anxiety and healthy when we got home.”
About: I currently own 2 cats (age 1 and 3) who are my two little babies! I’ve lived with/taken care of cats my whole life and also have experience with drop ins/walks for dogs! It’s important for me to make sure your own little babies are still given important care when you are away! As an owner of cats who need their own care from time to time, I understand the important of keeping their owner’s mind at peace while they are away. I treat other people’s pets as if they were my own! I want them to be treated with the same care I would want my own to be treated.
About: Hi! I’m Rachel! I’ve been a dog person my entire life and have been watching dogs since I was 11. I have two dogs of my own, Wesley and Wally, and dogs truly are my best friends. 🥹🐾 I know how important it is to find someone you completely trust with your pup, so I’ll treat yours just like my own, with lots of love, patience, attention, cuddles, and playtime. I’m comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities and needs, including giving medications, following specific routines, and providing extra support when needed. I work remotely, so I’m home throughout the day and able to give your pup plenty of attention. Whether they’re energetic and ready to play or prefer a cozy day on the couch, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at. 🐶🧡 I’ll also keep you updated with pictures and little pup reports so you can relax knowing your baby is happy and well cared for. I’d love to meet your pup and become their new bestie! 🐾 I work remotely, which means I’m home with my dogs pretty much all day and am always attentive to their needs. Dogs are already a big part of my everyday routine, so caring for another pup fits right in! I love having a dog around to keep me company while I work, and I’m able to give them plenty of attention, potty breaks, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day. We have a spacious, fully fenced-in yard where the pups can safely run around and get some energy out, plus my two friendly dogs, Wesley and Wally, who love having a friend around! I’m also happy to accommodate whatever makes your pup feel most comfortable. If they’re crate trained and prefer their crate, we can absolutely do that. We even have a spare bedroom that can be their own little space if they’d rather have some quiet time away from the other dogs. My goal is for every dog to feel safe, comfortable, and at home here.
About: I've owned dogs, fish, a bird, and a turtle and am eager to assist with your pets! I've also sat for cats and dogs, in the past. I'm currently working part-time so my schedule allows for plenty of time to spend with your pets! I have weekends available for walks and drop-ins. I am reliable and pay great attention to detail. I have a natural rapport with animals and am looking forward to meeting and spending time with your pet(s)!
About: My passion for animals started ever since I had my first dog when I was around 5 years old. She was a shih tzu and we named her KeKe. Ever since then I knew that I wanted to be around animals as much as possible. Animals are very special than most people realize. I appreciate being in their presence! Between the hours of 6am - 4pm I am at work. If you just request drop in times I will always make time to check on them before work. I have an hour window of a lunch break to check on your pets between that time too. After work your fur babies get my full attention. I am also available on weekends full time! I love to go running/walking so I can always incorporate that with your fur babies! Making sure that your pets have a calm and comfortable environment while you’re away is important. Ensuring that your animals get to experience that is my goal.
About: Hi! 🐾 I’m a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for dogs, puppies, cats, kittens, rats, hamsters, guinea pigs, crested geckos, bearded dragons, and iguanas! I’m comfortable with all kinds of personalities and routines, and I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own.

I’m happy to work with your pet’s normal routine and schedule so they can stay as comfortable and stress-free as possible while you’re away. 🤍 Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my top priority. 🐾 I’ll carefully follow any instructions you provide, including feeding schedules, routines, medications, and household rules. I understand that every pet has different boundaries and personalities, so I’m patient and will always allow them to warm up to me at their own pace. I’ll treat your pets, home, and belongings with the same care and respect I would want someone to show my own. You can also expect regular photos and updates so you can feel comfortable knowing your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away! 🤍
About: I’ve always been an animal lover and have had pets my entire life! I’ve cared for both cats and dogs of all different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I know how important pets are—they really are part of the family. I’m comfortable with everything from energetic dogs who love walks and playtime to pets who would rather curl up on the couch and get some extra attention. I’m also a cat lover and understand that sometimes the best way to win over a cat is to let them decide when they’re ready to be your friend! I’m dependable, responsible, and will treat your pets with the same love and care I give my own. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away—and to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. As a teacher, I have a pretty consistent daily schedule, which makes it easy for me to plan pet care into my routine. I’m available before and after school, in the evenings, and have much more flexibility on weekends, holidays, and school breaks. I’m used to having pets as part of my everyday life, so feeding, walks, playtime, cuddles, and checking in on them already feel like a natural part of my day! Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or mine, I want them to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. In your home, I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, medications or special instructions, and of course plenty of attention. I’m also respectful of your home and will make sure everything is secure when I leave. For pets staying in my home, I’ll work with you to learn about their routines, personality, preferences, and comfort level before their stay. I have pets of my own, so safety is especially important to me. I’ll make sure introductions are handled carefully and that every pet has the space and attention they need to feel comfortable. I know every animal is different, and I’m happy to adjust my care to what works best for your
About: Recently graduated from Mizzou, I have spent the last 2 years helping to care for our house pets, including two cats and one dog. I worked to feed, walk, and engage with my pets during this period. Prior to this, I lived and cared for many animals back in my hometown: 3 dogs, 2 guinea pigs, 2 parrots, and a turtle. Because of this, I deliver versatile care, and understand that every pet has its own unique needs! I work 2 part time jobs, both in healthcare, where my hours are stacked on certain days of the week. This gives me flexibility to help care for your pets! Though each week can be a little different, I have my schedule set throughout the summer and can plan far ahead! I have such a big heart for animals! I love giving them attention and care above and beyond what's expected. I prefer to do this in a house sitting situation due to having 5 other roomates with animals here, but I have a car and am willing to do overnights!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Parkville
Tyler has been great with Castiel! He keeps me updated during every visit, which gives me a lot of peace of mind, and he’s been incredibly flexible whenever plans or timing have shifted. The whole experience has honestly been so easy and completely pain-free. I really appreciate knowing Castiel is in good hands, and I would absolutely recommend Tyler for both walks and drop-in visits.
Casey was great I’ll use her again. The only complaint I have is the Rover app is not user friendly to me. It had me keep going back to do insurance and so many places for each day and hr of the day to specify everything. I’m glad for the service Rover supplies and we need but they need to simplify in this day and age things should be easy not hard going forward. Life is hard enough
Paige did a good job visiting my cat and taking care of all the things I asked her to do while I was gone. He definitely looked well taken care of and was in a good mood. Paige was also very good about communicating and being available despite the time zone difference we had.
Maria is always focused on the animals, which I appreciate! When I returned, my cats were happy to see me but not aggravated that I'd been gone. That means that they were well cared for and got a lot of attention! I also value Maria's flexibility and her help with things like bringing in my mail, etc. I think she's great! Will definitely have her back!
Took awesome care of my kitties! Apartment was left clean and it was awesome to come home and destress without having messes to clean up. I totally recommend her. She gave me lots of update pictures whenever she checked in and asked good questions to make sure my cats were well taken care of. I would love to book her again for my next vacation. 10/10! 🫶🏼💕
Caitlin is great with our boys and an excellent communicator. She really goes above and beyond. She is our go-to when we need a sitter and appreciate her getting us in on short notice. She leaves our place very clean and from her report cards, we can tell she takes time to hang out with our boys and ensure they have enrichment.
Amanda is an amazing sitter! She went above and beyond for our Luna, sending updates and pics, and even dealt with a crazy windstorm that took down our gazebo! Her care and attention to our home and pup were top-notch. We're so grateful for her! Highly recommend on Rover. 5 stars isn't enough ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🐾"

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 .

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.
