“Amazing sitter!! I could tell just by the photos that our dog was well taken care of and had a blast with Kaitlyn! She even straightened up our couch pillows and blankets and brought in our Amazon package.”
“Chuck and Sharon are the Best of the Best Pet Sitters. We could relax and enjoy our vacation knowing our Beetle and Jeffy would have top notch care, and they did. We loved the daily updates. THANK YOU CHUCK and SHARON Gary & Carolyn Johnson”
“We are so glad we found Rachel! She maintained excellent communication while we were away. I felt very comfortable leaving my beloved cat in her care. We will definitely use her again in the future!”
About: I’ve loved and cared for animals for many years and currently care for my own dogs, bird, and aquariums every day. Friends and family have trusted me to help care for their pets while they’re away. My background in healthcare has taught me to be dependable, detail-oriented, and calm in unexpected situations. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I’ll treat your pet with the same patience, kindness, and attention that I give my own. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free experience so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I currently have a flexible schedule and will keep my Rover calendar updated so it always reflects my availability. I make pet care a priority and enjoy spending quality time with animals through walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship. I understand how important consistency is for pets and will follow your instructions and routines to help them feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I know every pet is different because I’ve experienced that with my own dogs. One of my dogs has epilepsy and takes medication on a strict schedule, so I understand how important routines, careful observation, and clear communication are. I have a fenced backyard and will follow your pet’s feeding, medication, exercise, and care instructions exactly as you ask. Whether your pet is young, senior, or has special needs, I’ll treat them with patience, kindness, and the same level of care I give my own pets. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you know your pet is safe and happy while you’re away.
“Monica did an excellent job of caring for our pets, on very short notice, and we’re very grateful. She kept us informed, sent pictures, and did above and beyond what was asked of her. We would not hesitate to ask her to watch our pets again. Thank you, Monica!”
About: I’m athletic and am able to go for long walks/ runs, big dogs don’t scare me and I’m prepared for anything that your pet has to offer. I’m available from the morning to 4pm each day and then I work night night job. I’m able to come by after usually around 8:30. A total of 14 hours I’m able to be there for you. I have a fully fenced yard along with 3 dogs of my own, all silly in their own way. I’m very familiar with the different personalities dogs have to offer
About: I’ve have taken care of animals my whole life. Both of my parents are veterinarians! I’m able to give medications & care for many animals! I also recently worked as an apprentice at a dog training facility & can help with basic obedience. I am currently working in the Kansas City area with plenty of free time to visit or stay with your pets! I will be available most weekends & weekdays. I recently lost my 11-year-old french bulldog, Scout. She meant the world to me & showed me how to be the best owner/friend I can be. I will treat your animals with the same love & respect.
“This was our first time having Claire do drop in visits for our dog, and she was awesome! She let us know when she arrived and sent pictures every day so we knew he was being well cared for. I wouldn’t hesitate to use Claire the next time we need a caregiver for our dog.”
About: Hello! My name is Michael, and animals have been a central passion of mine throughout my life. As someone with autism, people are less my forte, but caring and interacting with animals has always come naturally to me. I grew up in a household where everyone was allergic to dander except me, so I got my animal fix by pet-sitting for friends and neighbors—both dogs and cats. I’m used to housesitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking. I also have some higher education with veterinary assisting, which has come in handy with the animals under my care. I was only able to adopt my cat from a shelter a few years ago, but I am no stranger to all sorts of animals (reptiles, birds, small mammals all included—I have experience with caring for all wide variety of creatures!), all with a wide range of personalities. Every pet is different, and I take care to adapt to each individual’s needs. 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ I am in the process of applying for disability, during which time I am otherwise available outside of my appointments during the week. Tuesdays are typically my busiest days. I am most available on the weekends, where my days are completely free to devote to your pet(s)! I do not board at my residence, as my cat is an anxious fluffball. However, when it comes to client homes, I like to make sure that your pet’s routine is as familiar as when their pet parent is home. I work to make sure that although their people might be temporarily absent, it is a positive experience and not a devastating waiting period; every animal deserves to be treated with as much attention and care as they need, the more the better. Any particular treats they enjoy, toys, playtime, places to visit on outings, specific times for feedings—all are great information for me to give your pet the experience they deserve.
“Susan is amazing! She has watched my cat on 2 occasions and each time she has gone above and beyond! She’s a true animal lover and so caring and considerate. I would give 10 stars if I could!”
“Katie is wonderful with our dogs and we were so thankful to find her on Rover! She sent us daily updates and photos and was so nice to give us feedback on how our dogs were doing while we were away. This is the first time we have used Rover and we will definitely book with Katie again-she was awesome!”
About: Hi, my name is Kathleen, and I am an experienced pet care handler. I have cared for dogs and cats of all various sizes and behaviors. A few examples of dogs I've worked with are corgis, pitbulls, and great pyrenees. I can handle most breeds and have worked with shy dogs, protective dogs, and highly energetic dogs. For the last 3 years, I have also volunteered as a dog walker for an animal shelter. I feel comfortable around most types of dogs and cats, and I would love to give them the best care possible while you’re away! I currently have 2 cats of my own while living in KC for Grad school. I am mature, energetic, reliable, dependable, and, most importantly, sensitive to the unique needs of our furry babies. I'm currently in grad school and looking to fit this into my schedule. I'm available most mornings, 6 am to 8 am, and in the afternoon, after 4:30 pm for dog walking. I do have lunch breaks where I can do a drop-in and check on your furry baby. I am available weekends for walking, drop-in, or house sitting. I want to assure animals in my care will feel comfortable, loved, and safe. During visits and/or walks, I will always have my attention focused on your pet and will immediately remove them from any dangerous situation right away. I want them to be happy going on walks and getting to spend time out in nature.
About: I have worked at a vet, taken care of my own animals as well as family and friends. I have dealt with dogs and cats of all sizes. It will work with my job, get me exercise, and give me extra income I need. If I didn't have a weakness to blood, I would have been a veterinarian. I always make sure that they are exercised, played with, and taken to a park if necessary. I never hurt an animal but believe in discipline.
About: We have a big fenced in backyard for lots of room for dogs to roam and explore. We live in a small cul de sac and quiet neighborhood where walks would be enjoyable. We have had several pets we have raised from young to old. We have taught basics of sit, lay, shake, and stay. I work from home and have the availability to play with your dog, give lots of snuggles, and let them have time outdoors and playtime with other dogs. I work from home and have 2 dogs, 2 bunnies, and a gecko (gecko doesn’t really come around other fur babies). My dogs are social and love to play with others. With our big fenced in backyard the dogs will have lots of room to run around and play. If your dog needs to be kenneled we can accommodate that.
About: I’ve worked in a veterinarian hospital for years. I’ve loved and cared for them my entire life. I know from experience a tired dog is a happy dog. I have trained two dogs on my own without any issues. I can help train or your dog or just be it’s friends. Fur friends are the best and I know how important they are to us. I live in a apartment but have a small dog park in the neighborhood or I like to take walks on the trails. I will always carry water on me so that if your fur baby gets thirsty. Keeping you updated all the way through if requested. If you have more questions just ask. Thanks and hope to meet your fur baby soon.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Stilwell is $19 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $26 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 2,513 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Stilwell. 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 Stilwell. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
