“Josie did a great job watching our pets. Made sure to ask questions, ensure that everyone was taken care of and gave updates for every visit! We recommend Josie and we will definitely be rebooking in the future!”
“Ellie was amazing. She played with our energetic Border Collie so much and gave the cats lovies! Plus with every card, she attached multiple photos per visit. She gave meds, feedings, and everything was in order upon our return. Will rebook!”
“Martina was excellent! She took great care of my dog and cat, checked in diligently with pictures and details of each visit, and always responded promptly. Martina will be my first contact the next time my pets need care!”
About: I took a very active role in caring for my family dog until he tragically passed from cancer in 2019. I have also dog-sat for neighbors’ pets with particular dietary needs. Currently, I’ve been told by roommates that I have a very calming presence with our house dog. I work part time primarily in the evenings and when not working, I often have community theater rehearsals on weeknights. During the Mizzou school year I will have some classes during the day, though for no more than a few hours at a time. My current house is not available for pet boarding unless specifically negotiated. The property has a non-fenced yard and one resident dog, who does behave well with other animals. Neighborhood is safe, well-paved, and walkable.
“Taylor was amazing with my kitties. I really enjoyed her updates and pictures during her check-ins. She made sure they played, and stayed fed and watered while I was away. I had normal mom anxiety, but Taylor helped to ease any extra by being professional and easy to communicate with. The kitties looked happy to play during her visits. Would choose again. Thanks, Taylor!”
About: All of the oldest photos of me feature an animal- I have been obsessed for as long as I can remember. I began caring for cats and dogs from the time I was probably 6, as I grew up on a ranch. In college, I worked at a boarding facility caring for primarily dogs. Along with providing daily care, I also helped bathe and provide nail trims. Now, I have my dog, Harper, who is a sassy pittie mix. I lost my soul cat in June 2026, so orange cats hold a special place in my heart. I look forward to caring for your babies!! I work full time, but am able to provide care before or after work hours and on weekends! I am committed to being as flexible as possible. I am very familiar with animals that can be escape artists- I have one! I am familiar with local vets and vet hospitals. I will make sure that your babies are being cared for like they were my own.
About: I've had dogs my whole life and have loved animals since I was a kid. Right now I'm watching my roommate's cat and dog, so I'm used to juggling different personalities and energy levels. I'm reliable, patient, and treat every dog like my own. Happy to send photo updates during walks and check ins so you know your pup is having a great time! I'm a student at the University of Missouri with a part-time job, so my schedule is pretty flexible. I'm available Monday–Thursday before 10:30am and after 5pm, and I usually have all-day availability Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Your dog's safety and comfort are always my top priority. Growing up with a dog with anxiety, so I learned early on how to read subtle cues, stay calm in stressful situations, and help an anxious dog feel safe. That experience taught me a lot of patience and made me really attentive to each dog's individual needs and comfort level with new people and environments. I currently share my home with my roommate's cat and dog, so I'm also experienced with multi-pet households and know how to keep introductions calm and stress-free
About: I love all kinds of animals! I have owned and cared for a wide range and animal's. My goal is to make animals have a great life. I am a full time student at Mizzou but my schedule allows for plenty of time through the day. I have many gaps between classes so I can check on anything in the middle of the day. I have lots of experience with many ages and levels of trainings of animals I have watched for friends. I am always up for a challenge and I am confident in taking care of your animals.
“Margaret made sure our cat had food and water as well as a clean litter box while we were away for 2 weeks. She made sure he got the attention and play time he needed in order to not get too lonely. It made us feel more at ease being gone for so long knowing he was getting attention and cared for.”
About: I have worked in professional pet care for 4 years and have been watching neighbors dogs for the past 2 years. At doggy daycare I have worked with all sizes and ages of dogs and am comfortable with all of them. I am currently and student at The University of Missouri but am still able to come to your house to watch your pet. I can stay at your house during the week or weekend, my classes schedule is pretty full so it might be harder for me to be at your house during the week day but my weekends are typically open and we might be able to work out a schedule for the weekdays! I have three dogs at home that I am very used to taking care of as well as my cat. I can follow your pets schedule so there is no difference in your care and mine.
About: Hi! I have 6 years of experience as a dog owner of my Beagle, Bo. At home, I have an orange cat named Cheese as well. I am an active user of Rover for my Beagle when I am gone for work, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets. Me and my family have always been pet lovers, having different dog breeds and other pets growing up. I offer drop-in visits and dog walking, and I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes and energy levels. Whether your dog needs a long, active walk or just some company and care while you’re away, I’ll make sure they’re happy and well taken care of. I’ve also helped care for friends’ dogs and have experience walking multiple dogs at a time. I’m patient, reliable, and treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m happy to provide updates and photos during every visit so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands. I’m available Sunday through Tuesday and have reliable transportation to get to you on time. Looking forward to meeting you and your pets! Pet care fits naturally into my routine, especially at the beginning and end of my days. I’m available Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday and can provide flexible scheduling for drop-in visits and walks during those days. I’m used to planning my day around caring for pets, including feeding, walks, and playtime with my own dog and cat. I make sure to stay organized and on time so each pet gets the attention and care they need. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always prioritize safety, routine, and respect for both the pet and the space. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walk routines, and any specific needs your pet may have. During walks, I make sure dogs are always securely leashed and safe at all times, while also giving them the exercise and attention they need. For drop-in visits, I ensure pets are comfortable, have fresh water, and get plenty of attention, playtime, or calm companionship depending on their personality. I’m very respectful of clients’ homes and make sure everything is left exactly as I found it. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is safe and well cared for while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and happiness are always my top priority.
“Rylie was amazing! She had excellent communication and kept us updated throughout our vacation with messages and photos of our pets. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such caring hands. She took them on walks, gave them plenty of love and attention, and made sure they were happy and well cared for. We couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter and would highly recommend her!”
About: Hello! My name is Gina and I am a graduate student at Mizzou! I grew up with hunting Labs and have been around dogs my whole life. I’ve also been dog sitting for several years and enjoy spending time with dogs of all ages and personalities. Whether your pet wants to play, go for a walk, or just relax, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable and well cared for while you’re away. I have a light summer class schedule with class not starting until after 12pm and would love to help support you with your pet care in the mornings and evenings Unfortunately I live with roommates and have a landlord that does not allow pets and unable to provide care for your pets in my home
“So happy to have had Danielle let Ruby out! She agreed to drive way out of her way to let my puppy out when I was desperate. She is very committed to her job and I would hire her again in a heartbeat!”
About: I have extensive hands-on experience caring for dogs through my professional work in veterinary care. I’ve cared for and handled dogs with a wide range of personalities, sizes, ages, and needs, including providing daily care, exercise, and following individualized routines. I’m especially comfortable with dogs who need extra attention, patience, or close monitoring. I’m reliable, attentive to detail, and quick to notice changes in a pet’s behavior or wellbeing. Most importantly, I treat every dog with patience, compassion, and the same level of care I would want for my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work Monday through Friday from 7 AM–4 PM, but I’m available before and after work, as well as during my lunch break, for pet visits and care. I’m available from 5–7 AM, 11 AM–1 PM, and 4–8 PM during the week. My weekends are completely open, so I have plenty of flexibility for longer visits, walks, drop-ins, and extended stays. I also have two cats of my own, so caring for animals is already an important part of my everyday life! I focus on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and on their normal routine. In a client’s home, I follow their feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions closely while making sure their pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. I’m comfortable caring for dogs with different energy levels and personalities and understand that every pet has their own routine and preferences. My professional animal-care experience has also taught me to be very attentive to changes in behavior or wellbeing. I treat every home and pet with the same respect and care I would expect for my own.
About: I have several years of hands-on pet care experience from family and friends with dogs and cats. I’ve provided daily walks, multiple feedings, grooming, and basic training for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I’m comfortable with senior pets and those requiring medication, and I’ve also cared for anxious or high-energy dogs with patience and consistency. In addition, I’ve done overnight stays, ensuring pets maintain their routine in a stress-free environment. I genuinely love animals and treat every pet as if they were my own, always focused on their comfort, safety, and happiness. I work from home during normal business hours with leniency in needing to step away during the day. Also willing to work from the pets home if WiFi is available! I tend to stay pretty flexible. Either way, they’ll be treated like my own pet which is very heavy on the cuddles, kisses and treats. My pup, Roxie, loves being outside- so if your dog loves it outside also then that’s where we’ll be! If they like to be a couch potato, that’s my spirit animal and I’ll make sure they’re all comfy and well veg it out together! Currently in my home there are 2 other pups also that are very friendly and 2 other people that also love animals! I do not have the set up for cats, as I don’t currently have my own but have had cats in the past and can also care for them. Familiar with litter boxes and giving medication to cats, also.
About: I have two dogs currently. A Siberian Husky, named Loki who is 11 years old and a miniature schnauzer named Teddy Pickles who is 6 years old and thinks he runs my home. I’ve always had animals growing up and can’t get enough of puppy/kitty snuggles. Besides having pets of my own, I previously worked at Dog Daze, where i would attend to all breads of dogs for daycare or boarding. I’m willing to stay over night or do drop ins. For drop-ins I’m available throughout the day and free on weekends. I’m willing to administer meds and provide care to senior dogs as well. I’m excited to start this journey and maybe one day start a business one day. I currently work full-time in Columbia, MO. I could attend to your pet during the day (during lunch breaks) and open on weekends when needed. I can easily stop in at your home multiple times a day. I could also crate your dog at my home where i also have a fenced in yard.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Shaw
Taylor was amazing, as usual - not only with my older dog who she has cared for before, but a brand new to our home puppy. Taylor was a great communicator, prompt to each and every visit, stayed the allotted time engaging with the dogs (even the cats made their way into a couple of pictures,) she sent many pictures, and even cleaned up a few puppy accidents. Thank you Taylor, it's nice to have someone you can trust with your furbabies (and your home).
Taylor was amazing with my kitties. I really enjoyed her updates and pictures during her check-ins. She made sure they played, and stayed fed and watered while I was away. I had normal mom anxiety, but Taylor helped to ease any extra by being professional and easy to communicate with. The kitties looked happy to play during her visits. Would choose again. Thanks, Taylor!
Hannah was awesome! My cat has chronic health conditions, and she did a great job monitoring symptoms and administering meds when necessary, including keeping me up to date about how my cat was doing every day. Would definitely book her again in the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Shaw is $21 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $29 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 399 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Shaw. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Shaw. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
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.
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.
