“Han was great! He was willing to come over before the stay to meet our pups and kept us informed the entire time. He took our pups on a walk everyday and they were both in great spirits when we came home. Thanks again Han!”
“Rhiannen and Shaun were great! They came over for a meet and greet and asked a lot of great questions. During their stay at our home they kept us updated on our two pups everyday and were very respectful of our home. We were so happy to have them and I know our boys were safe, cared for and had a good time as well.”
About: I've taken care of my dogs from when they approached their final days and comforting them, to bringing up new pups into safe and loving environments. I put the dog's needs as a priority first and foremost! The services I can provide for range from physical activity such as walking, training young pets about necessary dominance and commands, attending to senior pets for their specific needs, and setting up motions or calls for practice such as rewarding the pet with treats for obeying. My past experience with pet care can come down to how every pet can feel like a new routine and learning experience to adapt to. I can give my services for both full and part-time calls as of now, and am just as okay with traveling to the client's home to care for them there if they are not comfortable leaving them at my own home! I am just as willing to provide my own needs before the needed days. Whether I have something going on or want to fit in pet care, I work to make sure a firm and specific routine is made for a pet's fitness, health, exercise, feeding, and care! While I currently have two other dogs to call my own at my home, both my own place and a client's are where I aim to learn a client's needs and expectations, timing, and how I can make the pet's experience as safe and secured as possible!
“Thomas took great care of our goldendoodles and our house while we were away. He sent lots of pictures, walked the dogs daily and watered our flowers. He was clean and very respectful. Will definitely book again. Thanks Thomas!”
“Rachael is fantastic. We used her twice to look after our pup Sadie while we were out of town! She is reliable and trustworthy and we will definitely use her again for future bookings.”
“Annabelle was really great about keeping us updated about our dogs and sending lots of pics. She also walked them every day even though we told her she didn't have to!”
“Lindsay stayed at the house with our three dogs while we were out of town. She was a great house/dogsitter and we would happily use her again! The house was spotless when we returned and the dogs were very relaxed.”
“We left our 2 chiweenies for the first time ever with India while we were in a hotel visiting, and she did a wonderful job! She arrived on time and was so nice! Our dogs are anxious around new people so they were barking at first and I had to put them in a separate room until they calmed down. Within 20 minutes of us being gone, India sent me pictures of them calmed down and finally sitting in the same room as her. When we returned, one of them was even sitting with her on the couch. 110% recommend, will definitely use her again if we're ever in the area!”
“This is our second time working with Ion who watched our 74lb Boxer while we were out of town. He is great as always, very thoughtful and attentive to our pup and we won’t hesitate to work with him again in the future!”
“Kiera was amazing! We had a mixup with our booking and she happily made it right for us, which we greatly appreciated! She took such great care of our pups and continually sent us videos and pictures! She’s the absolute best!”
“Jess was a perfect sitter. I have 2 dogs - one very nervous and she warmed right up to her. She stayed in our home and we came back to a clean (even cleaner than we left it) house and happy dogs. 10/10 would rebook and recommend”
“Michael was so great to our dogs. We have an elderly senior 16 year old, who needs a lot of care and Michael was there for all of it. Medication, multiple potty breaks, hand feeding Charlie. Buster got to know him,and became a best friend. The dogs really enjoyed having him. Thank you so much .”
“Alyssa was great! She was really responsive and great with asking questions as needed. She left the house in beautiful condition and even vacuumed so we had a less stressful return home. Our girls seemed great on our return and we will for sure be using Alyssa again!”
“Our three dogs seemed to really enjoy having Mariesa around while we were gone. We received pictures and updates throughout. We plan on using her again and would recommend her to others!”
“This was our first time using Rover, and we feel lucky to have found Stephany! She sent us thorough daily updates and photos of our boy living his best dog life. This gave us peace of mind and allowed us to enjoy our trip. Stephany was also respectful of our home and left it as she found it. We highly recommend Stephany and will definitely book with her again!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Sedalia on Rover is $53.28 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 7,767 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Sedalia. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Sedalia 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 Sedalia 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.
Tip: 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 Sedalia 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 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.

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.
