“I know I keep reviewing but it’s because Lori is so amazing. I think Lori has taken on our golden girl 5 times now. Each time she comes back happy, healthy and active. They go on short walks, take lots of snuggle breaks and I see all the fun because I receive all the wonderful updates of how well my girl is doing. We are so lucky we met Lori. 🥹”
“Ellie was great with my pup while house sitting! I got daily updates with pictures and videos and she left my apartment very clean. Will definitely be re-booking in the future!”
“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!!!”
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life, raising my first puppy on my family farm at 10 years old. Since then, I’ve worked professionally in a boarding facility where I supervised group play, monitored behavior, and made sure every dog stayed safe and comfortable. I also have hands-on experience in a shelter environment, working with animals of all temperaments, including shy, reactive, and high-energy. This has taught me how to read body language, build trust, and adjust care to each individual’s needs. I focus on creating calm, enriching experiences for all kinds of animals, whether that’s a structured walk, playtime, or just giving your pet the patience and attention they deserve. Please let me know if you have any questions in booking me for your next walk or stay! Caring for animals is something I intentionally build into my weekly rhythm. I am typically available Monday through Saturday and have a flexible, open schedule, so I can give pets the time and consistency they need throughout the day. I also run my own art business, which allows me to work independently and stay flexible. This means i’m able to be fully present for each visit, whether that’s a long walk, playtime, or a calm check-in for more sensitive pets. I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment in every home I enter. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, boundaries, and body language so I can care for them in a way that feels familiar and low-stress. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of both the space and the pet’s established routine. I’m especially mindful with shy or reactive animals, giving them patience, space, and gentle consistency to build trust. My experience in boarding and shelter environments has taught me how to read behavior, prevent conflicts, and create a safe, secure environment for pets of all temperaments.
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, and I absolutely love being around them. Whether it’s going for walks, playing, or just hanging out, I genuinely enjoy their company. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies who are still learning the ropes to older dogs who need a little extra patience and care. I’ve also cared for multiple dogs at once and am comfortable with dogs of all sizes and breeds. I always try to make every dog feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re with me. I’m available almost every day Monday through Friday, so pet care fits really well into my weekly routine. I love being around animals and make time for walks, playtime, potty breaks, and check-ins throughout the day. Whether your dog needs a daily walk, some company while you’re away, or extra attention as a puppy or senior dog, I’m happy to help. I treat every pet like they’re my own, whether I’m caring for them in my home or yours. I pay close attention to their routines, make sure they feel comfortable, and follow any instructions you leave so they get the care they’re used to. My goal is always for both you and your pet to feel comfortable while they’re in my care.
“Rebecca was great! She was very attentive during our quick meeting to show the animals and their specific needs and genuinely cared for all their special needs. Throughout our trip she sent pictures of the pets and kept us updated on matters regarding the house/pets. Overall, she took great care of the house in our absence and was so nice to take all my wife’s Amazon packages inside.”
“Jenna was great. Super communicative, very attentive during the meet and greet, and sent regular updates for both my pets. I would definitely have her house sit again!”
“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!”
“Isabela was great with our two dogs. We booked her for house sitting while we were away on vacation and our dogs were well taken care of. She stayed with them for long periods of time, not just quick check ins and we really appreciated that. She was also great with communication! Would definitely recommend her and plan to book her next time!”

“Here’s a polished, glowing review you can use: ⸻ Laurie was absolutely incredible! She stepped in for us at the very last minute and handled everything with such calm professionalism. Our dog, Archer, can be a bundle of nerves, but Laurie had the patience of a saint. She treated him with so much kindness and understanding. We are so grateful for her flexibility, her gentle approach, and the genuine care she showed. Highly recommend Laurie to anyone—especially those with anxious or high-energy pups. She’s truly the best!”
“Karen did a great job housesitting over two nights for us! We had peace of mind knowing Beefy was getting all the care and attention she needed with updates and photos. Karen left the house nice and tidy and was very responsive while we were away. We’ll definitely be booking her again!”
“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!”
“Emma stayed with my cat Patrick for a week while I was in another state for work. Patrick needs some special attention and takes daily medication. She did a great job making sure he was taking care of and comfortable! Additionally, she communicated with me well and made sure to send me some pictures every day!”
“Lilia was amazing with our rescue pup, Berkley! She is super calm and kind - we could tell our Berkley already felt comfortable around her the first time she met her! She sent us many photos throughout the weekend. She was very communicative and professional. We would recommend her to any friend or family member!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs all my life. I spent 13 wonderful years with my baby, Luda. For the last 8 years of his life, I made sure his medicine was organized and given on time, and that he never missed a vet appointment. I learned to truly listen to his body language. Even if that meant a 2 AM potty break. Let’s set up a meet and greet to see if I’m the right match for you and your fur baby! My schedule is flexible depending on the day. I am fully available from Tuesday late afternoon through Wednesday late afternoon, and Friday late afternoon through Saturday late afternoon. I am also open for overnight stays on Tuesday and Friday nights!On my other days, I work from 5 AM to 2 PM, so I am completely free for quick pop-in visits or walks anytime after 2 PM. If you have any questions about how your pet fits into my schedule, feel free to reach out! At this moment, I only provide care inside your home where your pets are most comfortable! For safety and peace of mind, your pet will never leave your property unless we have explicitly agreed on walks beforehand. I have a strict no-dog-parks policy to eliminate any unnecessary risks.While my profile is set to small and medium dogs, I am happy to care for large dogs as long as all exercise and potty breaks stay contained within your yard. Lastly, for the safety of everyone involved, a Meet & Greet is required before any bookings are finalized, thank you!
“Virginia is super thoughtful. She always treats Ollie like one of her own. This trip, she knew we were flying in late so she made sure our sheets were washed so they were ready when we returned. Always appreciate her!”
“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!”

Lilly was so great! She kept me updated with photos and stayed responsive throughout the stay. She left my home as she found it and even took the trash out! There was a crazy storm during her stay and she assured me the pups were safe and well cared for. Would love to use Lilly again!
Roselynn house sat for us and watched our year old kitten. Belle is usually very shy around new people, but warmed up to Roselynn immediately. We got updates and pictures while we were away which made us feel very relaxed and happy. She is extremely trustworthy and not only took great care of our kitten, but great care of our house. We came home to a very relaxed and happy kitten!
Ellie was fantastic! She took such great care of Mina and went above and beyond by cleaning our home, so it was spotless when we returned from vacation. She was an excellent communicator, kept us updated throughout our trip, and sent plenty of pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend her!
Megan did an amazing job with my two dogs. One of them can be reactive on the leash, but she managed her well! My dogs eat fast (to the point where they get sick) so I’ve came up with some creative ways to feed them. Megan was kind enough to gift them slow feeder bowls and I’m sure they’ll be a game changer! I came home and they were both so happy and well behaved. My house was cleaner than it was when I left. She even washed the kennel blankets! Will definitely be requesting her services again for my next trip
Lilia was amazing with our rescue pup, Berkley! She is super calm and kind - we could tell our Berkley already felt comfortable around her the first time she met her! She sent us many photos throughout the weekend. She was very communicative and professional. We would recommend her to any friend or family member!
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.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This was our second time booking Jonathan, and Dalek immediately recognized him and was so happy to spend time with him while we were away. It says a lot when your dog is excited to see his sitter! Jonathan is calm, dependable, and clearly great with Dalek. We’re very grateful to have found someone we trust.

FAQs for House Sitting - Platte Woods
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Platte Woods on Rover is $39.96 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 1,580 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Platte Woods. 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 Platte Woods 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 Platte Woods 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 Platte Woods 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Platte Woods. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
