“Ciara was an awesome pet sitter while we were gonna for a long weekend. Extremely responsive and sent us pics and updates of our little girls! I would highly recommend Ciara’s services and will absolutely rebook her in the future.”
“Lindsay was great! She sent daily updates and photos of our dogs and took great care of them while we were away. Our dogs seemed to love her! She also left our house nice and clean. We would definitely use Lindsay again next time we need someone to watch our dogs. Thank you Lindsay!”
“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!”
“Ion was wonderful with Nora. She got loads of attention. She was very well cared for. Ion sent regular pictures and updates, so we had no worries. We would 100 % recommend him and will definitely use him again. Our home was left spotless. A++.”
“Ayla and Han did a great job caring for our dog while we were out of town. They sent updates as often as requested and have always been very responsive and professional. They stayed at our house while we were gone and left our house spotless. I would highly recommend!”
“Alyssa was wonderful with our two high energy dogs and mellow cat. She gave each of them special attention following their feeding instructions perfectly. She sent along pictures while we were away and left our home spotless . Alyssa took great care of our fur family. Highly recommend”
“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!”
“Thomas was fantastic with our pugs! My male pug injured himself just prior to our trip and I was worried sick about him. Thomas was sure to update us on his condition, administered medications and sent us daily pics. He was always quick to respond. Both pugs were happy and healthy, and the bedsheets were even cleaned when we got home! He took great care of our dogs. I would highly recommend!”
“Ashlee took great care of our older dogs, she adjusted to their routine well (including giving medications) and kept me updated daily. I’d recommend her for your fur babies too!”
“Heidi stayed with our Reggie for 5 days while we were out of country, was 5/5 thrilled with how she kept us updated, cared for Reggie and our house and loved Reggie like he was part of her own family. It’s such a relief to have someone to rely on like Heidi, Reggie had a hot spot and upon return it’s very clear that she cared for him just like we would have. 100% recommend Heidi for any of your future fur help and care!”
About: Hi I’m Shelby! I was an executive director for over 10 years in senior living and have taken a step back from the corporate lifestyle. I have had dogs my entire life and absolutely love animals. I have a dog named Koda who is a trained service animal. She is gentle and kind and will play tug of war with other dogs. I view dogs as family members and will treat your dog as a family member while you are away ♥️ I currently am not working and can dedicate my day to taking care of your dog. Depending on your dogs personality I am happy to play with them in the backyard, go on walks, help with minor training, and relax on the couch together. If I do need to leave for a few hours just let me know if your dog prefers to be in a crate or can roam about the house. I want them to feel as comfortable as possible. I am happy to do exactly what you need. It’s ideal to keep dogs in their routine and I will assist with that. I am patient and will spend the time needed to make sure they are comfortable and you know your dog is cared for.
“Gessika is a sweetheart and we’d happily hire her again. She watched our dog and two cats for 10 days and gave them lots of love. It was such peace of mind knowing our fur babies were being well taken care of while we were out of town.”
“Rebecca was great with Tink for our 6 day trip out of town! Tink has some behavioral issues and reactivity with others dogs, but Rebecca handled it like a professional. She even brought Tink a new toy to keep her busy in the backyard. We highly recommend Rebecca for watching your home and pets.”
“Mareena was so attentive to our boy Blaze! We received lots of updates with pictures while we were gone, and she was so communicative! She left our place more spotless than when she arrived, and went out of her way to make sure our fur baby was cared for like he was her own. Couldn’t recommend enough, and will be using Mareena in the future!”
“Madeline is awesome! She takes such good care of my dogs including walks! She sends lots of videos so I never worry. Also, my house looks amazing when I get home!”
“Blake watched our dogs and house for over two weeks while we were out of the country. He did an amazing job looking after our dogs and our house as well. The house was perfectly clean when we returned and our dogs were in great shape! Can't recommend him enough.”

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.
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.
