About: It started with checking in on neighbors' cats, dogs, birds, and even fish as a child to then driving out to even bring in the mail and check the plants.

I'm currently moving back to Rolla and ready to fill my time playing or relaxing with some fur babies. My schedule is wide open for regular check-in's or long hang outs. Having grown up in Rolla, I'm familiar with the area and happy to even take your pet out for a ride and walk at the park. Otherwise, I'll any and all instructions thoroughly. Having a senior dog myself, I understand the importance of routine, safety, and dental and joint health!

About: I used to watch dogs every summer to make extra money to do things. Growing up we always had two dogs in the house and then when I got married, we instantly got three dogs and we’ve had them ever since our two big dogs enjoy being outside they don’t really like being in our home due to it being very small and they have more room outside to play and do things we have one small dog that enjoys being inside and sleeping most of the day. My husband and I both are small business owners I own a cleaning company and he owns a pressure washing business. I also do Instacart part time to make extra money to help pay off debt. I am doing this as well to help pay off more debt because Cleaning has kind of slow down and I’m needing to make money elsewhere. My schedule is very open though due to being a small business owner and doing Instacart part-time my schedule is very open and I am very flexible. My home has a fenced in backyard with two dogs. They enjoy being outside and will be outside for the majority of the time they like to come inside at night when it is dark. We have one small dog inside and she loves to play with other small dogs. I take her outside to use the restroom in the front yard. We do have a fenced in yard for a dog if needed or I can take them out front.

I am currently at home full time so I have all the time to take care of your furry friends! Sunday through Saturday I’ve got you covered! I have a fenced in yard and a walking trail very close by to take everyone on walks or runs and 2 furry friends of my own to keep company and play!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Rolla
WOW! We truly could not have asked for a better sitter! This was our first time booking with her, and after being away for an entire week, we came home feeling like our pets and home had been cared for just as thoughtfully as we would have cared for them ourselves. She was incredibly communicative throughout our trip, sending updates and pictures multiple times a day. It gave us so much peace of mind to not only know how everyone was doing, but to actually see our happy pets throughout the week. She was attentive, dependable, followed all of our care instructions, and clearly took the time to get to know each of our animals and their routines. We came home to very happy, relaxed pets and a house that was absolutely spotless. She went above and beyond in so many little ways, even leaving us homemade cookies to come home to! Her thoughtfulness and attention to detail really set her apart. Finding someone you completely trust with both your pets and your home can be difficult, especially for an extended trip, and we feel incredibly lucky to have found her. We already have another trip coming up and hope she’s available to book with again. We would recommend her without hesitation!
Savannah did an excellent job with all 5 of my dogs. She responded quickly to every text and phone call we made while we were out of town. Our dogs are happy and our house isn’t destroyed. Savannah will definitely be my 1st go to person for any trips we make.

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 Rolla 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 Rolla 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Rolla 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
