“Thank you so much Tiffany!! Sorry my cats are scaredy cats, but I'll work on that for future visits. Tiffany does great job looking after my kitties. Loved the pictures.”
“This was my first time using Rover and Mya made the experience amazing! I will definitely be using her again. My dog is very shy and not good with strangers but Mya took her time to be patient and calming. My dog started warming up to her very fast and I belive dogs have a good judge of character ;)”

“Connie was very attentive to Lucy during the visits. Having her stop by on schedule gave me peace of mind! Connie took great care of my home and I very much appreciated her photos and details from each visit!”
About: I've had dogs for as long as I can remember. Very rarely do I find a dog or cat I can't connect with, and I am a very patient and admittedly stubborn person that just wants to be friendly with every pet I encounter. I've taken care of puppies who have worms all the way to senior dogs who gotta take their medication every day to stay healthy for as long as possible. On weekdays, I work from home 7:30AM-4PM. It's a very lax job where I can be hands off of my computer for the most part and take care of important things like pet care. Otherwise, my schedule is generally free. I'll happily watch, feed, play, walk, and take pets to go potty as often as necessary. I'll be sure to attempt to gain their trust while I'm taking care of them because they should be able to relax too while their owner is away. And if they are aloof, then I'll keep and eye on them and make sure to keep a comfortable distance.
About: I've been around animals my whole life and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, medication, or simply providing companionship, I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I'm patient, dependable, and pay close attention to the little details that matter, from following feeding schedules and exercise routines to keeping water bowls full and giving plenty of affection. I'm comfortable caring for puppies, senior pets, energetic dogs, shy cats, and multi-pet households. My goal is simple: treat every pet like they're my own and give you peace of mind knowing they're in caring, reliable hands. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to be reliable and consistent for pet care. Whether it's a walk, drop-in visit, or spending quality time with your pet, I'm happy to work around their routine. I love being active and spending time with animals, so caring for pets is something I genuinely enjoy, not just a job. Every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and any special instructions before each visit. Whether I'm in your home or taking your dog for a walk, their safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I'll make sure they have fresh water, plenty of attention, exercise, and playtime while also respecting the routines they're used to. I keep owners updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I always treat both your pets and your home with the same care and respect I would my own. My goal is for your pets to feel comfortable, happy, and loved until you return.
“Cheyenne is great with our pets. Today was just to drop in for our dogs. She took multiple photos and updated the app with all the details of their bathroom break. I definitely recommend Cheyenne.”
“Kate was absolutely wonderful with our furry crew! She sent great photos of everyone, whom seemed to be having the time of their lives! Absolutely recommend her services and do plan to use her again in the future!”
“Olga is amazing with my boys!! She’s very sweet with them and always makes sure they have plenty of love!! My biggest dog can be jumpy and demanding. She is amazing with him!!”
About: Hello my name is Sydni! Experienced, trustworthy sitter! Veteran who loves animals! Animals are my life! I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years. I understand the importance of trusting someone to care for your "kids". They bring so much joy and happiness to my family's life. Seeing their little faces everyday just puts a smile on my face! I live in a apartment with a backyard area that is fenced! I look forward to meeting you & your pets!
“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.”
“Paige was great with our senior cat who needed medications and is a picky eater. She was undeterred by our detailed instructions for her medication and feeding routine. Her visits were timely and she was responsive when we had questions while we were gone. We would certainly use her again in the future.”
“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!”
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.
“Lulu was a huge help today as I traveled out of town for my first day of work! It sounds like both doggos behaved and she seemed to enjoy hanging out with them over their potty break. I am looking forward to her next visit!”
“Autumn has watched our dog over a long weekend at her home and dropped in to let our dog out while we were out of town for the day. She always sends us pictures and keeps us updated on how she’s doing. She does a great job!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Raytown on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 2,777 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Raytown. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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.
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.
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.
