“Caitlin was wonderful at taking care of my two spoiled enormous dogs! This is the first time we've used a pet sitter and we will be using Caitlin's services in the future. The dogs were more relaxed being at home and frankly I was relaxed on vacation. She gave them medicine they needed and kept us updated with lots of pics and it was truly a great experience.”
“Maggie has been excellent with Oliver. She even checked to make sure he was up to date on his tick prevention as some of the grass is tall. One walk after it had rained she dried him off prior to the end of her visit. I would definitely recommend her for all your fur babies!!!”
“I needed recurring visits & Arrica was more than helpful with my dog! She truly saw my dog as her own & took wonderful care of him. Will be booking with her again if I need someone to drop in on him!”
About: Dogs have been a huge part of my life for majority of my life, from volunteering at shelters to raising my own two Labs, now ages 10 and 7. I have plenty of experience caring for senior dogs, including giving vitamins, sticking to feeding schedules, daily walks, and helping them with mobility like climbing stairs. My love for dogs is truly unmatched, and I treat every dog like family I currently work full-time, so my availability is primarily in the afternoons and on weekends. I am available for boarding on weekends, as well as weekday evenings after 5 PM I have a very large yard (not fenced), and I ensure all dogs are safely supervised at all times while outdoors. I can assist with crate training, potty breaks, and maintaining your dog’s preferred feeding routine, whether scheduled or free feeding. I’m happy to accommodate requests to keep dogs separated if needed. My own dogs enjoy playing fetch, relaxing, swimming, and being outside. Your dog will receive plenty of attention, exercise, and care—including daily walks. I treat every dog as if they were my own, with lots of love and patience.
“Shannon was very professional and did all the visits in a timely manner. I am so grateful she was able to help me out while I was out of town for work. She is a life saver!! Highly recommend!!”
“Rachel did an amazing job caring for our elderly dog while we went on vacation! It gave us such peace of mind knowing that our dog was in good hands. We looked forward to the updates and photos from Rachel everyday, and were able to enjoy our vacation knowing that our dog was happy and healthy while we were away! I honestly think our dog is a little disappointed that we are home and she isn’t getting play time with Rachel anymore! We would definitely recommend Rachel to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”
“Lulu was excellent with both of my dogs who have very different personalities. She was thorough and sent me pictures/text updates when she was there. I fully trust her to watch any of my animals in the future. 5/5”
About: I have grown up always having dogs in my house. When I left for college, it only felt right to get a dog of my own. I have always been the dog sitter for my friends, and former teammates. I have experience of giving medicine and cooking up some food for our lovely pups. I am a very active person, I love long walks, but also enjoy a relaxing day with some extra pets/scratches. I have my Fridays and weekends off. I am able to board for the weekend starting Thursday night. I am typically home all day during the weekend. The maximum I am out of the house is about three hours for my workout and church. During the week I can do drop ins or walks between 6am-8:30am or 6pm and after. I live in a two-story townhome with a basement. I have a dog of my own, who is friendly. I have a long leash line in the back to allow the dogs to be outside. I also live across from the dog park. I currently live with my sister and her boyfriend as well, so somebody will usually always be home.
“Jadyn was great and easy to book, especially being a last minute request by us. She took great care of our pups and gave them lots of love while we were away. We will definitely be rebooking in the future for our pet sitting needs!”
“Emelia did a fantastic job watching our fur babies. She was very kind and took pictures to ease our minds, while we were on vacation. Could not have asked for a better person to watch them. Thanks again!”
About: I take care of my dad’s 5 chihuahuas while he is a trucker over the road. I have 1 dog and 2 cats that I love dearly and I treat all pet kiddos like my own babies. I work part time currently and have plenty of time to watch your babies, walk them, whatever you could need for them! I’ll love them as my own. I will be able to be at your house whenever you need. I can’t wait to meet them. It’s all for them and you when you need.
“Saige is awesome! She goes above and beyond to care for my pup and to communicate concerns. Great peace of mind when traveling knowing my pup is receiving high quality care. Thanks!”
“Amber did a great job taking care of our elderly cat. She sent us daily pictures which gave us such peace of mind to see she was doing well with a new caregiver. Our kitty has special medical needs which Amber handled expertly by giving shots and coming the same time everyday. We would definitely have Amber take care of our kitty again and recommend her highly.”
About: I’ve watched a variety of family friends animals over the years, as well as my roommates dogs. I have always reinforced the home rules when caring for the pets. I love to go on walks, play fetch or tug-of-war, and snuggle with a pup! I have experience with animals of all sizes. I have cared for senior dogs, and I sadly had to let my childhood pup cross the rainbow bridge a short year ago. I understand how special these little guys are, and I’d love to lend a helping hand in making sure they’re cared for. I am in graduate school and I work part time as a nanny. I am looking for rover to supplement some fun-money and become a highlight of my day! I would be able to care for your pets best in the evenings and on the weekends, and an occasional lunch break! Since my school schedule changes, I’m sure we can find a way to care for your pet as a team! The pets in my home that belong to my roommates are two playful boys. We have a large-medium sized fenced-in yard. We do not table feed and they get walks every other day to once a day, but their lives are filled with play, snuggles and love. I have worked under a dog trainer and I would love to help your animal become the best pup!
“Kody took care of my two pugs for almost a month and he goes beyond what I ask him to do, he walks them late night and played with them after, he is also very easy to talk to, willing to do stuff that is not part of the job. Definitely someone I will be calling again the next time I will go out of town. Thank you very much”

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 Raytown 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.
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 Raytown 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!
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Raytown with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Raytown. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
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.
