“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 ;)”
“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!”
About: I have took care of animals since I was young I have been around animals even longer. I have always loved them. I promise you can trust me I am currently working part-time and also I am a Full time student .Some weeks my schedule is a little all over the place but, Tuesdays and Thursdays are the best days for me! I prefer taking care of your pet at your home but , I do have a fence yard and friendly animals of my own. I am fine with playing fetch and walking them around your or my neighborhood
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, including 2 senior dogs and 2 puppies. I currently have 2 dogs of my own—a Pit Bull and a Lab—as well as a cat. I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family and make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, and care while you’re away. 🐾 I have 2 dogs and a cat that I care for daily. You let me know what needs to be done and I can do it. I can keep pets separated or I can crate an animal, if preferred. I will care for the animal however you are most comfortable with.
“Vanessa was wonderful with our 2 frenchies! She sent updates on their bathroom schedule and photos and even cleaned up our puppy's crate and play area! She was very reliable, respectful and responsible!”
About: I have experience in clinic and shelter environments, especially with fearful or reactive pets. I also have experience with exotic animals and have taken care of personal pets my entire life! I’m reliable for feeding, walking, medicating, providing enrichment, and more. I’m currently available mornings, evenings, and overnight. With notice, I can invite animal-friendly small/medium pets into my home. For larger pets or those who don’t enjoy animal company, I can do drop-ins or walks at your home! I have my own friendly dogs and cats in my home. The small animals in my home are kept in a separate room. I have a long leash to give your pup some playtime outside, or we can take good walks on a regular leash. I can crate, medicate, or provide enrichment for your pets as needed (with instructions), always with compassionate care.
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.
“Thank you so much she kept me updated while my pup had stomach issues over the weekend. I appreciated the peace of mind while I was away from my boy for the first time ever!”
About: Hi, I am Tricia and i have had dogs all my life. I love pets very much and have worked at local animal shelters. Working in animal welfare has graced me with all sorts of experience with all types of animal behaviors and personalities. I also have lots of animal medical experience. I have worked with animals with aggression, separation anxiety, seizures, deaf, shy and fearful and much more. I can also medicate animals in any way needed. I am experienced in giving shots and pilling animals. Basic training is something I like to work on with all animals as I believe it helps them not only build their confidence but also keeps their mind busy and wears them out! Please let me know if I can help you out! I am currently working from home meaning I can spend tons of time with your pups staying at my home! We also love to go get pup cups often! I have a fenced yard and dogs that also love other dogs. My house is centered around dogs with lots of comfy beds, toys and other fun stuff!
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.
“Jennifer was FANTASTIC! Her care was top notch and I felt so secure leaving my kiddos with her. I genuinely think that one of my cats, Toast was disappointed to see us, and not Jennifer. She gave great updates and photos at every visit and we appreciated her so much! I will absolutely contact Jennifer again for care of our kitties.”
“Allison was great, she was easy to get a hold of and was always on time. Allison was great with both my dog and cat and the pets really liked her. She even went the extra mile and changed her schedule so it would work better for us. I would recommend her and look forward to working with her again in the future.”
About: I have taken care of cats my entire life, but I’ve also taken care of family, friends and neighbors dogs on several occasions. I understand how anxious one can get by being away from their fur babies so let me help make the time away from your pets less stressful. I have plenty of time to take care of your animals. I just need two days notice on what all of my duties are going to be. If you want me housesitting as well as pet sitting, I am able to do that if you are wanting to just have me stop in that is perfectly fine as well just let me know exactly what you want me to do and I will get it done.
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Raytown is $20

Amazing pet sitting. Elise went above and beyond what I asked. I was on vacation in California to ask my fiancé to marry me and I accidentally locked the door where he couldn’t get in the house. She worked with me to get in to take care of my cat while I was gone and even brought in a package from the rain. Cannot recommend enough.

We couldn’t have asked for a better person to watch our three pups while we were on vacation! From the moment we met, we felt comfortable knowing they were in good hands. She took great care of all three of them, kept us updated while we were away, and treated them like they were her own. It gave us so much peace of mind being able to enjoy our vacation knowing our pups were happy, safe, and well cared for. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and dependable to watch their pets. We will definitely be using her again!
Cheyenne took great care of the kitties. She sent pictures and updates about how they were doing. The photos reflected them in our regular routine, which was great to see. The kitties were so relaxed when arriving home and it was clear that they were well taken care of. We're so thankful for Cheyenne!

- 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 .

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 .
