“Megean and her husband loved and took great care of both our cats! We looked forward to the twice daily updates and photos they provided. Our “shy”/not-always-friendly cat Charlie warmed up to them instantly= they are great with cats!!”
About: I always insure that pets are comfortable! I’ve taken care of old cats and dogs, and I when they are old like that it’s important to meet their needs first, as most of the time they need a lot of guidance and help. I am currently going into online college, so most of my day is free! I often sit down and watch TV or play video games, but I mostly enjoy writing and drawing in my free time I personally like to ask owners how there pets are in the company of others, as well as if any weather bugs them! The comfort of my pets, and owners is always my number 1 priority! I want to make sure that they are comfortable around me, and I never approach any animal until I’ve let them sniff me, it’s important that they trust me to be around them.
“Kara did a wonderful job looking after my cat. I was worried about leaving my cat due to her age and dislike of new people but she took to Kara right away. The daily pictures and updates were just what I needed to put my mind at ease.”
“Bobbie was amazing. She was on time and went above and beyond each day to make sure our sweet babies were taken care of. She was very good at communicating and we will definitely request her service again in the future! Thank you for the pictures, Bobbie!”
“I can't recommend Amber highly enough! She made our reactive little dog feel comfortable and safe while we were away and her updates put us at ease. She was extremely helpful and flexible when we needed her to check on Shaggy early on the last day of our trip. Amber is amazing and took care of our dog like he was her own.”
“Ashley is great! Arrives on time to let the dogs out for us mid-day on days where we're gone longer than normal. She gets along great with our doggos and I know they appreciate seeing her.”
“Marlee took such great care of my pups! I did not have to worry a bit while I was gone and came home to happy dogs! She was great about communicating throughout and meeting each dogs personality and energy!”

“Heather is so wonderful and kind to our fur-babies! She knows just what they need and what will make them happy. We fully trust her with their safety and happiness. Love her!!”
About: We have been pet owners all our lives until recently. We have experience looking after dogs and cats. We would love to fill the gap by helping you out with pet sitting needs. Your fur baby will be treated as part of our family! My husband and I work full time, some days from home. My work is just few minutes away so I am able do potty breaks and walk during lunch. Our schedules are flexible and we can adapt to your needs. We currently don't have any pets at the house. Our yard is not fenced but the neighborhood is very dog friendly with a little nature trail for walks.
“Briley was very good with our dog. Our dog gets very nervous with new people and Briley was able to get her outside to play. Briley came at the times we discussed, sent pics and gave good follow-up after her visits!!!”
“Regan is amazing! Her ability to connect with even our most skittish cat was great and she was very attentive to details. Would trust her with any of our babies. Thank you!”
“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”
“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!”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up caring for dogs, cats, horses, goats, chickens, and turkeys, which gave me hands-on experience with animals of all kinds from a young age. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs for family, friends, and neighbors, gaining experience with everything from puppy potty and crate training to feeding, walking, bathing, administering basic care, and providing lots of love and attention. I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels, and I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I'm currently working part time, so I have plenty of time within my days to love and care for your fur babies while your're unable to! I have a fenced yard with lots of other friendly dogs that are always eager to have another playmate! Between crate training, potty training, or walks with your pup I am able and willing to do it all!
“Makes the extra effort. Extremely kind! Helped take out a snake from my home while I was gone and letting my pups out! She’s tougher than me! Been using her for awhile now and not one complaint! Highly recommend!”
About: I have loved animals since forever. I cannot recall a time in my adult life that I did not have a furry friend. I have a long history of animal rescue transportation and some fostering in-between transportation runs. I have been house sitting and dog watching for friends and family for several years and truly enjoy it! Unfortunately, I recently lost my sweet Lucy at the age of 14. (She is the first picture with her blue stuffie ☺️) She fought the good fight! However CHF, an enlarged heart and heavy seizure activity became too much for her aging body and the good lord came calling to help her cross on over the rainbow bridge where she can roam and run pain free again. So, I decided to offer my love of animals to others' companions instead of adopting again and went to work part time for the veterinarian that walked the walk with us. The love of an animal is unconditional and healing and within that, there is peace 💛 I currently work for a vet clinic and also as a massage therapist with full control of my schedule therefore have the ability to adjust my days as needed. I pride myself in working hard to keep your pets schedule as close to their normal routine as possible. I feel consistency is important for them when their humans are absent.

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 Platte City 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.

- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
