“We couldn’t be happier with Shaun and Rhi! They watched our two German Shepards for four days and three nights, and they did an absolutely amazing job. The dogs were so well cared for—walked, brushed, loved, meds given as instructed and downright spoiled. 🐾💛 On top of that, our house was left incredibly clean and tidy, which was such a gift to come home to. It’s clear they treated our pups like their own, and we felt total peace of mind while we were away. We highly recommend Shaun and Rhi to anyone looking for responsible, caring, and trustworthy pet sitters. Amazing!”
“Liddy is absolutely phenomenal. This was my second time using her to care for my elderly cat and my dog. She does a great job with all of their medications and supplements. She communicates extremely well so I never have to worry. I highly recommend her!”
“Lance did such an amazing job taking care of our pets and our home. We knew our animals were in excellent care with Lance due to his consistent communication and photos throughout. Our house was left in exceptional condition upon returning home. We will be repeat customers for sure knowing our pets were treated like they were his own.”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Madeline was absolutely wonderful! She took great care of both my pets and my home while I was away. I came back to happy, well-cared-for pets and a house that was clean and well-maintained. She was reliable, attentive, and clearly loves animals. I had complete peace of mind knowing everything was in such good hands. I highly recommend Madeline to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”
“Mareena took great care of our Cavaliers while we were out of town. She kept me updated everyday as to how my dogs were doing and she even cleaned up the house before leaving. I highly recommend Mareena for your petsitting needs. She also is a future veterinarian!”
“The best petsitting experience. Kate was so flexible with our last-minute booking and other changes and so kind. She sent updates and took great care of not only our pets but our home. Will be rebooking when we need her!!”
“Victoria was very kind and patient with my dog who is scared of everything! She even took an extra trip back to the house during a snowstorm to let him out when my flight was delayed. Thanks Victoria!”
“Fiona was AMAZING!! Sweet, responsible, flexible, attentive to my old pup, and reliable! I'm so happy I finally went with Rover.com to find a sitter, because I hit the lottery with Fiona! My little guy is geriatric and requires some additional considerations and Fiona came through in every regard. She house sat for me as well and took care of everything I needed her to. I'll rebook every time I go out of town if she's available! My pup loved her immediately (and he's not easily impressed).”
“As always, Erica took exceptional care of Thor while we were on vacation for a week and the house was immaculate when we got home. I always feel at ease and have one less worry when Erica takes care of our little boy Thor thanks to her excellent communication skills and daily pictures! Thank you, Erica!”
About: My name is Bre, and I am a 23 year old dental hygiene college student! I have been watching my friends and family's dogs since I was 16 and I adore it! I have experience with elderly and blind dogs, and dogs of all sizes. I have my own very anxious dog, so I know how important it is that she feels safe and cared for when my family isn't around - that's why I treat every dog I watch as if they were my own❤️ I go to school 5 days a week, but Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays are half-days for me at the moment. For Tuesdays and Wednesdays, it's more difficult for me to provide frequent potty breaks for dogs. However, weekends I am able to be there all day or as needed! As I have my own dog, I prefer pet-sitting for animals in their own homes. I am able to spend time with animals in any way they need, whether that be taking them on walks or just providing company and watching TV together!
“Bree was very responsive to communication. We felt very comfortable with entrusting our furry kid to her care in our home for 4 nights. She was so respectful of our home that she asked permission before inviting a friend over and she left the place in great condition. We really appreciated the daily updates which included photos!”
About: I have had animals all my life, and started dog sitting for others I was 16. I love to build genuine relationships with your pets and care for your home as needed while you are away. I’m currently a full-time college student, but I’m only on campus two days a week, leaving me with a very open and flexible schedule. I’m excited to spend that extra time caring for your pets and giving them all the love and attention they need! I can easily crate the dog, take them on walks, feed them, let them out, give them medicine, and would just need instruction if your pet require any extra care.

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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
