About: I’ve worked with dogs in many various professional environments: specifically KC Dawgs training facility, dogtopia and camp bow wow daycare and boarding facilities, and even the petsmart grooming salon. I have loved every single job I’ve had with animals and am in good standing with all of them after having to move to Columbia for college. I also have a good amount of experience with working dogs as I volunteer and shadow the MO TF1 search and rescue canines at least once a month! I have a ton of experience with animals who might have physical disabilities or need extra care. The white aussie in my profile picture was partially blind and completely deaf. I got to work with him for a 1-2 week board and train! I’ve taken care of countless breeds with various different exercise needs and food varieties. I also have a ton of experience with grooming and nail trims. I offer these for free for anyone who books a service longer than a day! Just let me know in private messages if you are interested ^_^ I have 2 dogs of my own and we currently live on campus in a single dorm. I am also the president of the Canine Sports Club at my school! When students here need help with their dogs (we are a pet friendly school), I am usually the first person they ask. I also volunteer for a program called Retrieving Freedom which allows me to help train and raise psychiatric service dogs. This is a program that meets once a week. My own dog (Tara, 5) is being trained on the scent of a low blood glucose to work towards being my service dog (diabetic alert). So we train on scent multiple times a week. My dogs get supplements, meds, potty breaks, play dates, training outings, and grooming sessions multiple times a week. My pets at home are all kennel trained, potty trained, and general house trained. I have a puppy who has higher energy and needs more supervision, so he gets naptimes up in his kennel more often than my 5 year old girl. The puppy is on hip and joint supplements which he gets with his breakfast. All my dogs eat out of slow feeders and wait to eat until they are released. This helps with impulse control.
About: I have experience caring for dogs through helping friends and neighbors with dog sitting and dog walking whenever they need me. I also have a 9 year old dog of my own, so I understand the daily responsibilities of caring for a pet. I love being around dogs and giving them lots of attention! I am currently a full time college student at Mizzou and live in Columbia. I also have a part time waitressing job around 3 nights a week. But I still have plenty of time to take care of your pups. I am from Chicago, so I do plan to go back home for Thanksgiving break, winter break, and spring break! Sorry for any inconvenience! I will take every safety measure there is when it comes to doggies such as making sure the doors are closed, the fence is closed, keeping them on the leash, and helping them feel comfortable.
About: I’ve taken care of a range of dogs, cats, rodents, and birds since I was 12 years old. Over the years I have learned a range of skills from grooming and taking long walks to making sure your fluffy companion has someone there in the evening. I am comfortable and confident in my ability to fulfill the needs of your pup or cat. I look forward to meeting your fuzzy friends. I have a full time job working actively outdoors in the summer months which makes me available most weekends and most week nights after 5pm. I am respectful of the space your pets occupy and will always consider your pets needs and safety. I will treat your placeh as if it was my own home and will always ask about the considerations.
About: I have worked in professional pet care for 4 years and have been watching neighbors dogs for the past 2 years. At doggy daycare I have worked with all sizes and ages of dogs and am comfortable with all of them. I am currently and student at The University of Missouri but am still able to come to your house to watch your pet. I can stay at your house during the week or weekend, my classes schedule is pretty full so it might be harder for me to be at your house during the week day but my weekends are typically open and we might be able to work out a schedule for the weekdays! I have three dogs at home that I am very used to taking care of as well as my cat. I can follow your pets schedule so there is no difference in your care and mine.
About: During my time in a Service Fraternity at my university, I volunteered at Animal Care and Control of St. Louis on a weekly basis. The time I spent working here allowed me to gain crucial skills needed for understanding and working with animals. I have also spent time watching cats and dogs for friends while they off on vacation! I start medical school in August, but will have time to watch animals between study sessions and class. Currently, I am working part time as a science teacher at the middle school for summer school and am off at 1:30 pm, Monday through Thursday. Additionally, I have all of July off. I will not be providing boarding services. This is due to physical restrictions that will be imposed on the animal. I would prefer to house sit in a place where the animal is comfortable and less likely to be anxious.
About: my lifelong experience with dogs of all sizes and ages. I’ve had six dogs throughout my life, both big and small, so I’m very comfortable handling different temperaments, energy levels, and needs. I’ve cared for everything from playful puppies to older dogs who need extra patience and attention. I also bring a strong work ethic and sense of responsibility. As a college student studying accounting and the oldest sibling in my family, I’ve spent my life taking care of both dogs and kids. I’m dependable, organized, and genuinely love spending time with animals. You can trust that your pet will be in caring, capable hands with me. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I genuinely enjoy it and have the flexibility to make time for it. I’m currently a college student with a manageable schedule, so I’m available throughout the week and on weekends. Whether it’s early morning walks, mid-day check-ins, or evening feedings and playtime, I’m able to work around what your pet needs. Taking care of animals doesn’t feel like a chore to me, it’s something I look forward to, and I’m happy to fit it into my day. If I’m staying overnight, I make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable in their home environment by keeping up with their regular schedule—feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions you leave. For daily check-ins, I’ll make sure your pet gets the care and companionship they need while you’re away, whether that’s a walk, potty break, fresh food and water, or just some playtime and love. My goal is to keep your pet happy, healthy, and stress-free while you’re gone, and to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in caring hands.
About: I've been around dogs of all sizes and socialization preferences! I myself have a 60 lbs, 8 year old Blue Heeler mix named Lambeau, a 50 lbs, 4 year old, Labrador mix named Cleo, a 1 year old Calico cat named Roxy & a 1 year old Tortoise Shell Tabby cat named Indie. I currently work a full-time job during the week (9-5), but ready and willing to make time during my weekends to care for furry friends! I currently live in an apartment where there is a fenced in area for dogs to run around in. I often take my own and my roommates dog to go play together with other tenants pups!

About: I've been a technician assistant for 6 years and am a current 2nd year vet student. In clinics I was able to medicate and administer different treatments based on the doctors recommendation. I am a full time vet student so my hours may vary. I see caring for your pets as as an honor and responsibility. If I take a shift I aim to honor it. I'm willing to help out and check in on your pets if needed. I'm able to feed, take outside to use the restroom, and medicate your pets if needed. Please let me know if additional care for your pet is needed so I can see if it is a task I am able to complete.
About: I’ve grown up with animals my whole life and I love taking care of fur babies, I have taken care of lots of animals like ferrets and my own chinchilla and of course cats and dogs. I’m available in the Columbia Jefferson City and Linn mo areas I can do weekends and weekdays, I’ll take great care of your babies! I’m always gentle with any animal I meet as to not scare them away I’m always very respectful of boundaries and I always hold my hand out so I can let your animal sniff it and get comfy with me so I don’t scare them and I’m very gentle and caring, growing up my own dogs would get into fights so I know how to handle aggressive animals.
About: As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member. I’ve always been hesitant to leave my own pets at a boarding facility, so I understand the peace of mind that comes from knowing they’re receiving plenty of love, attention, and personalized care in a home environment. Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I have experience caring for dogs, cats, ferrets, and other small pets. Whether your pet loves playtime, cuddles, long walks, or simply having a companion nearby, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I am a full time Ultrasound Tech. My work hours are 7-5:30 and off on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. My husband gets home at 5PM and is able to help with care as well! Weekend trips are perfect for me but if you need care through the week, it still works! I have a corgi and 2 kids ages 3 and 6! I also have two cats but they can be separated from the dogs easily if your dog hates cats! (the cats have the whole finished basement) I have a large yard for your babies to run around if they are trained to come when called. If not, I have no issues bringing them outside on a leash!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 348 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Rocheport. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- 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 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.

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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
