“Ashley was incredible while I left my dog for two weeks and went to Europe! I had so much peace of mind knowing she was there and the photos and videos she sent were great! I couldn’t imagine having anyone else take care of my dog. Seriously the best!”
“Samantha provided a safe, clean and extra loving home to our dog while we were away! She was communicative, and sent updates and photos throughout the week. I can tell our pup was so loved and well cared for!! Thank you to you and your family!!”
“Amazing Family and dog watchers! Very communicative and gave us timely updates. We already booked for them to watch our dog again. Can’t recommend this family enough!”
“Alex and Jacquelynne took great care of our dog, Tofu, over the weekend. They kept us updated with photos and messages, and it was clear that Tofu was happy and well cared for. We felt completely at ease knowing Tofu was in good hands. We would definitely book with them again and highly recommend them to other pet owners!”
“Taylor was great! Extremely happy with our experience with her. Sent frequent updates/photos and our dog seemed to really enjoy his time at her house. 10 out of 10 would recommend”
“Haley did an awesome job with our Kobe! We could tell that he had a great time and enjoyed his stay with her. Haley was very responsive to our messages. We will be repeating customers :)”
“Sharon and Glen provided a nice meet and greet, which was reassuring and permitted my dog to meet their dogs. I needed a long stay and they were able to accommodate at a reasonable price. They sent pictures to update me during our vacation. My dog seemed happy with the arrangement as well! Thank you for a great experience!”
“Bandit was so happy and calm when I picked him up. It was very clear he was comfortable and well taken care of! She took him on several walks and sent many pictures. He was a HAPPY BOY!!”
“Ellie was BEYOND AMAZING. I've never left my dog (baby) with ANYONE other than close friends or family, and i'm very anxiously attached to her. I was very very nervous leading up to my trip, but the second my boyfriend and I met Ellie, we felt 10000 times better. She sent me so many photos, and kept me up to date on everything. The photos really made me feel more comfortable during the trip, I could tell she was very happy and comfortable. Also, anytime we leave Baby she almost always skips her lunch. Baby was eating both meals every single day which was a huge sign to me that Ellie made her comfortable and at home. I would recommend Ellie to everyone!! If you have any hesitations, set up a meet and greet and you will feel at ease the second you meet her. I can't thank Ellie enough, I was worried I wasn't going to be able to enjoy my vacation due to my worries but I wasn't worried for one second while I was away. 1,000/10, will be using Ellie in the future <3”
“Alex is fabulous! Daisy is so loved and cared for and doesn’t even want to come home!! Haha! Love of love for her and daily walks and snuggles ! Lots of pics and updates too! 10/10”
“Lori is a wonderful and caring pet sitter. Our dog came back happy and well cared for. Additionally, our dog had some medical needs and Lori was attentive and caring, allowing his healing to not be impeded.”
“Nina did an excellent job of caring for our older dog. He needs to take pills 2x/day and has an odd diet and she kept to the guidelines on all of his weirdness. I hope Nina is free when I need a Rover next time!”
“Laurie is an amazing dog sitter! She sends up dates and pictures for Syvia. I will continue to use Laurie for pet sitting and highly recommended to Rover and friends!”
“Isha and Great took great care of our little dog recently. She came back happy and tired, which means they gave her a lot of love and attention. They also provided updates daily with photos. Highly recommend!”
“Michelle has a big heart for the dogs and spoils them with lots of love and toys. She has 2 adorable dogs of her own. We were happy to know she has a 6ft fence to keep my fence jumper in and safe. Both my dogs seemed happier and more at ease when we picked them up opposed to boarding. We would love for Michelle to watch our kids again sometime. Thanks!”
“Christy is so wonderful! She did a great job with my cats (3 of them). I received updates and never had to wonder how they were doing. Her willingness to meet my cats quirky needs was fantastic. I'll be booking her again!”
“Patty did a fabulous job of watching our dog, Tucker. We appreciated that she was willing to meet us prior to our stay. She did a great job of providing lots of pictures throughout our trip. Patty made Tucker right at home and he looked so comfortable and well cared for. We would definitely recommend using her and plan to use her for future trips!”

Prices are estimates per visit. Pricing may vary based on your search. A booking fee of 11% and taxes will apply.
About: I currently own 2 cats (age 1 and 3) who are my two little babies! I’ve lived with/taken care of cats my whole life and also have experience with drop ins/walks for dogs! It’s important for me to make sure your own little babies are still given important care when you are away! As an owner of cats who need their own care from time to time, I understand the important of keeping their owner’s mind at peace while they are away. I treat other people’s pets as if they were my own! I want them to be treated with the same care I would want my own to be treated.
“Laurie did an excellent job taking care of our cat while we were away. Just before we left, we was prescribed some medication but even with that twist, Laurie handled it without any problems. She made sure to engage him in activity and puzzles with each visit and sent us great pictures/reels and excellent communications as well. Extra thanks for bringing in the Amazon deliveries! Very happy we had Laurie to help hold down the fort while we were away. Always great to be able to relax and know your fur-kid and home are in such good hands.”
About: Cats have always had a special place in my heart! 🐱🤍 Every cat I’ve owned has been a rescue, and I also have experience rescuing and caring for kittens, including bottle-feeding young kittens who needed extra attention. I’m comfortable with cats of all ages and personalities, from energetic kittens to shy cats who need a little extra patience and time to feel safe. I understand that cats have their own boundaries, routines, and ways of showing affection, and I’ll always care for your cat at their pace while giving them all the love and attention they deserve. 🐾
“I appreciated Dennis looking after my cat while I was away for a week. He came over for a meet and great before I went out of town and communicated very well. I would recommend Dennis and will hire him again if I can.”
“Thanks for taking care of my kitties! You could tell through all the photos Samantha provided that my cats loved seeing her and spending time with her on her visits. I came home and the pets were well taken care of! I appreciate all your help!!!”
“Thank you MacKenzie for taking care of my cat Jenni-Girl. I contacted MacKenzie 2 days before my trip in a panic because my previous sitter was not available. She responded very quickly to my message and was very friendly. She sent me pictures and gave me detailed information about each visit which really put my mind at ease. Thank you so much for your excellent service! 5 stars all the way!”
“Sally was amazing! She is so easy to work with, very communicative, and even did a few extra things for me. I ordered cat toys while we were gone, and she put them together for Ripley, she watered some plants, and went out of her way to make Ripley happy by giving her plenty of treats and outside time. My cat was very well cared for, and I felt safe using Rover for the first time. Thank you Sally! We will certainly use your services again!”
About: My passion for animals started ever since I had my first dog when I was around 5 years old. She was a shih tzu and we named her KeKe. Ever since then I knew that I wanted to be around animals as much as possible. Animals are very special than most people realize. I appreciate being in their presence! Between the hours of 6am - 4pm I am at work. If you just request drop in times I will always make time to check on them before work. I have an hour window of a lunch break to check on your pets between that time too. After work your fur babies get my full attention. I am also available on weekends full time! I love to go running/walking so I can always incorporate that with your fur babies! Making sure that your pets have a calm and comfortable environment while you’re away is important. Ensuring that your animals get to experience that is my goal.
About: I've owned dogs, fish, a bird, and a turtle and am eager to assist with your pets! I've also sat for cats and dogs, in the past. I'm currently working part-time so my schedule allows for plenty of time to spend with your pets! I have weekends available for walks and drop-ins. I am reliable and pay great attention to detail. I have a natural rapport with animals and am looking forward to meeting and spending time with your pet(s)!
“Elizabeth was great! She made my first time using this app enjoyable. Elizabeth is a fast responder & willing to help. She took great care of my cat during check ins & sent the cutest pics after each stay. Would highly recommend to others, as well as book again in the future!”
“If I could leave Marianna a 500 star review, that still wouldn’t be enough. I needed last minute care due to a medical emergency, and she not only accommodated my need with less than 18 hours notice, but she did so with a level of care for my kitties that I have never experienced before. Within 15 minutes of her arrival, I had photos and videos of all of my babies (which is no small feat in itself), and she continued to provide multiple updates, photos, and videos. She was so so so loving and gentle with my kitties, stayed with them all day and overnight, and gave me the comfort and reassurance I was desperately needing. I will absolutely be hiring her every time I need a sitter moving forward (hopefully sans the hospital stay and ideally for a fun getaway instead). Thank you so much, Marianna. There are not enough ways to express my gratitude!”
“Alyssa has taken fantastic care of our mini aussiedoodle, Leia, over the last week. Leia is a very anxious dog so I was very reassured to see Alyssa so easily develop rapport & trust with her. She will treat your pet like her own. She provides frequent and detailed updates throughout the visit and shares awesome videos / pictures playing with Leia. If you're looking for a sitter your pet is in good hands with Alyssa.”
“Misti took care of my two cats twice a day for two weeks. She did everything I asked and sent extra notes and pics at each visit. She is a great communicator! Misti even got my shy cat, Paris, into a great routine early on and was able to pet her by the end of the two weeks. I called Misti the cat whisperer for her ability to win Paris over. The house was perfect and cats were happy when we returned home. I will definitely call upon Misti for pet care in the future!”
About: Hi! I’m Rachel! 🐱🤍 I’ve been caring for cats for over 11 years, and I’ve always had a huge soft spot for them. I know every cat has their own personality, routines, and very specific opinions about how things should be done. 😂 Whether your cat is super social and wants all the attention, shy and prefers to hide out, playful and energetic, or completely content lounging in their favorite spot, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at and give them the care they’re most comfortable with. I’m comfortable following feeding schedules, giving medications, cleaning litter boxes, providing plenty of playtime and enrichment, and making sure your cat gets all the attention and care they need while you’re away. I’ll follow your instructions closely and keep their normal routine as consistent as possible. I also know how much peace of mind it gives you to know how your pet is doing while you’re gone, so I’ll send plenty of pictures and updates during visits. 🥰📸 My goal is to make your cat feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own home while giving you the reassurance that they’re in good hands. I’d love to become your cat’s new bestie! 🐾🤍

“Super kind couple! Alex sent updates throughout the day, and my dog was happily exhausted when I picked him up, so I’m sure he had a great time playing outside.”
“I booked with Taylor to watch my dog for a couple hours one morning. He has separation anxiety. She understands the needs for a dog with SA and was able to help manage his nerves while we were gone for some errands.”
About: I've taken care of cats and dogs since I was 13. I'm 35. There's plenty of space in the house and a fenced in yard. I am currently staying home for the summer with my 4 year old son. We will be home full time! Let us help with your fur baby! I have a fenced in yard and a basement if the animal needs space. We will take the dogs out regularly. They will be safe and loved here.
About: Hi! I’m Rachel! I’ve been a dog person my entire life and have been watching dogs since I was 11. I have two dogs of my own, Wesley and Wally, and dogs truly are my best friends. 🥹🐾 I know how important it is to find someone you completely trust with your pup, so I’ll treat yours just like my own, with lots of love, patience, attention, cuddles, and playtime. I’m comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities and needs, including giving medications, following specific routines, and providing extra support when needed.

I’d love to meet your pup and become their new bestie! 🐾 I work remotely, which means I’m home with my dogs pretty much all day and am always attentive to their needs. Dogs are already a big part of my everyday routine, so caring for another pup fits right in! I love having a dog around to keep me company while I work, and I’m able to give them plenty of attention, potty breaks, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day. We have a spacious, fully fenced-in yard where the pups can safely run around and get some energy out, plus my two friendly dogs, Wesley and Wally, who love having a friend around! I’m also happy to accommodate whatever makes your pup feel most comfortable. If they’re crate trained and prefer their crate, we can absolutely do that. We even have a spare bedroom that can be their own little space if they’d rather have some quiet time away from the other dogs. My goal is for every dog to feel safe, comfortable, and at home here.
“Sarah was amazing. This was our first time with a Rover and Lexi felt comfortable and apparently did well. I appreciate Sarah being patient with Lexi as she navigates our new schedule and doggy daycare.”
About: I am a retired police dispatcher and have a squeaky clean background. I love all animals! I provide calm, reliable care and treat every dog like part of the family while they’re with me. I know how important it is for pet parents to feel comfortable leaving their dog with someone they trust, so I focus on safety, communication, and making pets feel at home. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or sticking to a dog’s normal routine, I make sure each pet gets personalized attention and care. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I’m retired and have a very flexible schedule. I’m home often, which allows me to give dogs plenty of attention, supervision, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I respect both the pet's routine and the home itself by following all care instructions carefully. I treat all dogs like they are my family.

About: Hi! We’re Jordan and Austin, and we’re getting married this February after recently moving into our first home together in Parkville, Missouri. We’ve both had dogs our entire lives and absolutely love them, but since we’ll be traveling a lot this year before getting one of our own, we’d love the opportunity to care for other people’s pets and get our much-needed dose of puppy love along the way! One of us is almost always home! I work both from home and in the field, and my fiancé works from home full-time, so your pup will have plenty of company, attention, and love throughout the day. We’re available on weekdays and most weekends, and if our schedule ever changes, we’ll update our calendar accordingly. We can’t wait to meet your furry family member and give them all the playtime, cuddles, and care they deserve! Your pet’s safety and comfort are our top priorities. We have a large, fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely run and play, a spacious basement for indoor playtime when the weather isn’t ideal, and a beautiful neighborhood with great sidewalks for daily walks. Since we don’t have any pets of our own, your furry family member will receive our full attention, plenty of one-on-one care, and lots of love in a calm, safe, and comfortable home.
“We cannot say enough good about Gaby and Harrison's care of our four doggos! They readily agreed to help us out over a long weekend with very little notice. They provided doggy daycare with pick up and drop off service. They were absolutely life savers and did a great job with our doggos... caring for them as if they were their own. We look forward to booking with them again on the future.”
“Our dog took to Cristina, and it made me feel at ease the way Cristina interacted with our dog. She was personable, and my dog came home tired from her stay, which is a good thing for us. We would absolutely use Cristina again!”
“We were in Kansas City for the weekend for a game and had Cindy watch our dog, Opie. She was so wonderful. He was well taken care of and completely spoiled with her. He was a very happy boy when we picked him up.”
“Misti was so wonderful and so sweet to our puppy! She took great care of him while we had an event and was very flexible with pick up and drop off times. We will definitely use her again in the future!”
“Sending Sampson and Slinky to Christina's for the day is always an easy choice. This was their 2nd day care stay and they were super excited when we arrived at the house. It's always a relief to see our dogs excited and happy to go to Christina's so we can be assured they'll have the exercise and attention they deserve while we are attending to other things (a graduation party!). If you're considering Christina for your dog sitting needs, seriously...look no further. She's awesome.”
About: I have had pets all my life from dogs and cats to gerbils, hamsters and fish. Even as a young child I was primarily responsible for most of the routine daily pet care. I'm a trained CNA with applicable caregiving skills. I also have extensive experience as a shelter volunteer having walked the dog and played with them as well as socializing the cats. I'm currently self employed as a home care aide and wish to take care of animals in between assignments or during days off. I do not have any responsibilities that would interfere with me taking care of your fur babies. I do not have a fenced in yard but I do have a yard stake. I live in a townhouse with an open grass backyard. I regularly take my dog to The Liberty, MO Stockdale dog park and can take yours there too if that's your preference. If you wish I can walk your dog as many times per day as you prefer. My neighborhood has paved sidewalks and walking paths that I routinely use to walk my dog daily. I have one cat and one dog and each get along with other cats and dogs very well but should there be any unforeseen issue, I can put your pet in my spare bedroom. I also own a wire dog crate for large dogs. I can crate your pet in your home or my home if you wish me to. I will take care of him or her in whichever way you prefer. I do not crate my dog but I did as a puppy to facilitate his potty training. My dog sleeps with me at night as does my cat sometimes. Both are friendly and well socialized but again, I can put either in a spare room or your pet if necessary. Both my pets are up to date on their vaccinations and they get a monthly pill for flea and tick prevention. I can do everything from long or short walks, taking them outside for potty breaks, administering food or medicine, playtime, etc.
“Abigail is amazing!! She accommodates any need Dexter has and is an amazing communicator. I highly recommend booking with her and I will continue to use her services!”
About: I’ve taken care of lots of friends dogs over the years! I have never owned a dog, so my friends would always let me dog sit there’s while they were gone! :) I ca come over every 2-4 hours or whenever needed! Pretty flexible schedule for me right now! Let me know how I can help! I dog sit friends and families dogs all the time at my apartment! There is trails and grass around the area where I usually take them on walks!

“Dennis has done a great job winning the trust of my dogs. They are not used to strangers and he was so patient to build a good relationship. It is such a relief to be away and know they are getting a good walk in. I’m very grateful to have found Dennis on Rover.”
About: I have taken care of all sorts of dogs through the years and find joy in going for walks around the neighborhood and playing and meeting every single dog I see. I work full time, 3 12 hour shifts a week and my other 4 days I love having something to do whether that is going on walks, popping in to make sure dogs have everything they need and having potty breaks. During drop ins or walks I like to follow the owners instructions carefully so that each pet can maintain their normal routines and reduce stress. I make sure each pet has water, any food they need, toys if able, exercise, and attention. With walks I stay very mindful of potential dangers or triggers to avoid any unwanted situations and pay attention to any sins of overheating, exhaustion or discomfort. During drop ins if a pet uses a crate I always make sure it’s locked and checked before leaving as well as leaving the surrounding how I arrived and with locked doors. It’s always fun to send the owner updates and pictures of their pet while away to ensure they are safe and getting the care they need.
About: I grew up on a farm with many dogs, cats, and other animals. In my adult life I have owned a cat, many dogs and a beta fish.

I am single with no children or animals at home so I have a lot of flexibility to come to you. I will follow whatever instructions you give to me to take care of your animals. Also if I am staying in your home, I will respect all of your rules.

About: Recently graduated from Mizzou, I have spent the last 2 years helping to care for our house pets, including two cats and one dog. I worked to feed, walk, and engage with my pets during this period. Prior to this, I lived and cared for many animals back in my hometown: 3 dogs, 2 guinea pigs, 2 parrots, and a turtle. Because of this, I deliver versatile care, and understand that every pet has its own unique needs! I work 2 part time jobs, both in healthcare, where my hours are stacked on certain days of the week. This gives me flexibility to help care for your pets! Though each week can be a little different, I have my schedule set throughout the summer and can plan far ahead! I have such a big heart for animals! I love giving them attention and care above and beyond what's expected. I prefer to do this in a house sitting situation due to having 5 other roomates with animals here, but I have a car and am willing to do overnights!

About: Hi, my name is Philip and I love dogs. Through my life so far I have always been jealous of my friends whose parents allowed them to have a dog. But I take every opportunity that I can to play and care for dogs That being said, I have helped care for a couple of neighbors dogs and take them on many walks. One of them was German Shepherd puppy that I even was able to train and I grew quite attached. Whenever I am able to move out I plan to get a German shepherd for myself because of how much I loved my neighbor's puppy. I am currently working part time so I have a good bit free time on most days. I can walk or dog/cat sit weekdays and weekends most of the time until I get a full time job! I can care for a pet in your own environment however you would like me too, I'm very open and flexible as long as I have clear instructions and resources. I'm up to almost any task!

About: I am a retired police dispatcher and have a squeaky clean background. I love all animals! I provide calm, reliable care and treat every dog like part of the family while they’re with me. I know how important it is for pet parents to feel comfortable leaving their dog with someone they trust, so I focus on safety, communication, and making pets feel at home. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or sticking to a dog’s normal routine, I make sure each pet gets personalized attention and care. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I’m retired and have a very flexible schedule. I’m home often, which allows me to give dogs plenty of attention, supervision, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I respect both the pet's routine and the home itself by following all care instructions carefully. I treat all dogs like they are my family.
