“Shaun and Rhi took such great care of our dog! They were in frequent communication and sent us many pictures. They followed his routine and were respectful while staying at our house. Our dog absolutely loves them both!”
“Ion was very good with our Louie! He was communicative and kept us updated with pictures of their adventures. It’s not uncommon for Louie to stop eating his food. Ion noticed this and made him a doggie pizza to encourage him to eat and it worked! Louie loves to see Ion and is always happy in his company. Louie is an anxious dog but seems happy and content with Ion. He leaves our home clean and just the way we left it. We would recommend his services to anyone!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Ace was fantastic and Rocky loved her. She was very attentive and took exceptional care of our home. She provided pics and communication throughout and we are very happy with her.”
“We booked Nevaeh for a last minute overnight in the mountains. She was punctual and timely and a good communicator. The dogs seemed like their usual selves upon our return. Not stressed at all. We will hire her again in the future.”
“Ashlee was so fantastic. She watched our puppy for us while we were out and while I knew she’d have her hands full, with this being his first time doing something like this, he was even more rebellious :). We definitely appreciated the care and attention Ashlee provided. 10/10 would recommend.”
“Emily saved us and is truly AWESOME! She rearranged her schedule to help us in an emergency situation. We were immediately comforted when showed us photos of just how happy Ben was with her :) You can entrust your dog with Emily.She goes above and beyond to make your dog feel like he's still with family. We HIGHLY recommend her!”
“Ayla&Han were wonderful caring for Willow and Zoey during our 2 week trip. They kept us well informed including taking care of a needed trip to the vet. We really appreciate them.”
“Bryce was the perfect sitter for a week away. He stayed in my home for 7 nights and was diligent about sending pictures and updating us. He did a lot of preparation before his stay: a meetup beforehand, a walkthrough of the home, and asked detailed questions about taking care of my pup. He was also very respectful of the house and even vacuumed and took out the trash before leaving (which was not required!). Impressed is an understatement. I’ve already hired him again for a weekend away next month. Highly recommend.”
“Morgan is just amazing. Communicating was great back and forth, even when our flight plans had to change. She took excellent care of our doggies and our house. She was here with the dogs for the vast majority of the day, which was important to me. She is my go-to sitter going forward.”
“Heidi was amazing. She is very caring professional. Her communication and follow through was exceptional! She was great with our 2 dogs and so communicative throughout our trip. I highly recommend using her.”
About: I'm a fur Mom of a highly active pointer pup and know how important it is to provide proper care and play time for him. I am now working from home and have a flexible schedule to walk or check in on your pets. I personally know how much it means to have a caring person take care of my little guy when I am unable. I live in Eagle and will travel to Vail for an additional charge for walks and home visits. I have experience with clients staying at resorts that need assistance during they day while they enjoy skiing or exploring this beautiful valley. I also am able to provide references from clients along with those in the hospitality industry if needed to assure you that I'm the right sitter for you. I look forward to hearing from you! I work from home and have a flexible schedule that can be adjusted at anytime to care for your pets. I love animals and they brighten my day. I love walking and staying active. Dog walking is my FAVORITE. I'm very caring and respectful when it comes to watching your pets in your home.
“I loved having Alyssa stay with Camden! She was a great at keeping me posted on dog/house and took good care of my house while i was gone for 9 days. She left everything in tip top shape and was loving with my dog...will definitely book her again!”
“This is Madeline’s second stay with my critters (2 dogs, 2 cats) and everything went wonderfully. She is very responsive, and sends many photos and updates. In addition to taking such wonderful care of my babies, she left my house spotless. We can’t wait for her to come stay again!! Thank you Madeline!”
“Blake was an incredible sitter and friend to our kitty cats. One of our cats is extremely shy around new people, and Blake went out of his way to ensure both cats were comfortable with him. Our cats were happy & safe while we were across the country, and Blake followed all requests/ instructions perfectly. We got multiple pictures every day- and they were excellent pictures too!”
“Once again Lance was the perfect choice to watch Harley and our house while out of town! We got lots of updates and photos of her being loved on :) Lance also took the time to bring our trash cans up to the house from our curb and brought in almost a dozen packages that came while we were gone.”
“Emma was absolutely amazing! We had her watch Smokey during our wedding. He can be a little rambunctious but she did a great job and she was so flexible. We could tell she cared about our boy and wanted him to feel comfortable. Would highly recommend her!!”
“Mareena was incredible, we highly recommend her. Our pups were very well taken care of and so was our home. Our liitle pup Z even ran to the guest bedroom when we got back to see if Mareena was still here. Thanks again Mareena, we will definitely be booking you again!”

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.
<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 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 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.
