About: I’ve taken care of many dogs, cats, fish, and horses since I was 10 years old. Including my own personal pets and many others pets! I am a true animal lover to the core. I have also had veterinary clinic experience! For a year I have worked as an assistant for a vet and I have learned and experienced a lot. I will go above and beyond to take care of your loyal pets/family members! I am available on all weekends and evenings. I can do morning, lunch, and evening shifts. Weekends I am available all day long. Mornings and evening are more flexible I will definitely go above and beyond to make sure your best friends are well taken care of! Nothing but love and care for our 4-legged babies
About: I keep water out all day so they are not thirsty. I feed my dogs once in the morning and then before bed. I take them put multiple times a day either to potty or play but they are always on the leash. I play with them inside also. I'm a big cuddler with pets if the animal will allow me haha. They are allowed on furniture bed or couch does not matter. My daughter is a big animal person too she loves both dogs and cats and will sit there and watch TV with them or even fall asleep on them haha. I have had 6 years of personal experience with animals they have not be consecutively but all together it has been 6 years. Im a stay at home mom so im pretty available aside from the random appointments. I have 3 kids that all love animals and always want to play with our own animals or help feed and water them. They want to be the ones to let them out to potty and feed them. I have a big fenced in yard for the dogs and kids to play and run in. They are allowed on furniture so we all cuddle up on the furniture. I also have some dog toys. I can offer a separate space for those dogs that want to me alone.
About: I’ve cared for animals for as long as I can remember, and pets have always been a huge part of my life. I currently have my own dog, two cockatiel birds, and have previously owned two cats so I’m comfortable with different personalities, routines, and care needs. I also have past experience volunteering at Wayside Waifs, a large no kill animal shelter in the Kansas City area, where I volunteered for nearly 2 years. During my time there, I gained hands-on experience around dogs and cats of different breeds, sizes, temperaments, and backgrounds. That experience helped me become more patient, attentive, and confident when caring for animals who may be shy, energetic, nervous, or still learning to trust new people. I have experience with feeding, walking, playtime, basic care, and making pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I would love to care for your pet with the same kindness, patience, and attention that I give my own. My work schedule varies week to week, but I typically work daytime shifts as a barista and I am usually available after 6 PM for pet care services. I do my best to keep my availability updated so pet parents know exactly when I am available. I’m happy to help with evening walks, drop in visits, feeding, playtime, and giving your pet attention and care while you’re away. I’ll always communicate clearly about my schedule and make sure your pet’s routine is followed as closely as possible. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine will always be my top priority. I will follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, medications, crate needs, and any special routines your pet is used to. I’m attentive, patient, and careful with every pet I care for. I take safety seriously during visits, walks, and playtime. While I’m caring for your pet in your home, I’ll make sure they have fresh water, a clean and comfortable space, and plenty of love, patience, and attention while you’re away.
About: I am an experienced house sitter, and I love helping animals feel safe and comfortable! I have a lot of energy to give to pets that need it. I was on a multi-month hiking trip, but had to come home early due for personal reasons. That leaves me with extra vacation time at home, and I would love to share that time with your pets! I am very detail-oriented, so I will make sure I follow instructions and schedules accurately. I respect the privacy of homeowners, and will gladly communicate with the client as much as desired.
“Holly was fabulous! She took such good care of our Jax and Bailey while we were on vacation in Mexico! They both loved her, as was evident from the photos she sent regularly. She gave them lots of love and attention and went out of her way with some extras as well! Great communication and very respectful of our home while visiting. We were able to thoroughly enjoy our vacation knowing they were in good hands. Highly recommend and I hope she will consider sitting again!”
“Brooklyn came right in and took charge, and Tufa took to her very quickly. She didn't get a ton of acclimation time or instruction due to short notice for care, and my crazy busy day. I was impressed with how at ease she was with the situation and that made it so much easier for me. Brooklyn definitely cares about providing top notch care for your pets, I highly recommend her and hope to have her care for Tufa again.”
“We had never used Rover before as we were hesitant to leave our babies with strangers. I chose Abby from reading her great reviews. She did an amazing job with our 2 dogs and cat. We knew they’d been well taken care of by the way they acted when we got home. She communicated well and sent daily pictures. She stayed at our home and even washed and made the bed! She left our home great. I would highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve taken care of numerous pets for my family before. I’ve house sat and taken care of my dog since I was 14 and I’ve got training experience from when my dog was a puppy. I currently work part time doordashing, and babysitting so I can take care of your pets whenever you need a sitter. Additionally I have grown up in Overland Park so I would love to take your pets to parks and other places for walks. I have a golden doodle and we have had many play times in our backyard that has a fence. I free fed my dog but I’ve worked with family members who have a feeding schedule! My dog has a crate that we sometimes use depending on how long we are away from the house.
About: I currently work at a Vet Clinic, I have had animal shelter experience since I was little because of my mom, she was an Owner/Manager for Second Chance Pet Rescue in Grove Oklahoma. 💞 For jobs I have had a year of vet care experience, working in Animal Shelters, and I always make tons of trips to go down to Grove Oklahoma to donate and volunteer. 🐾 My life runs off of being surrounded by animals. ✨ When I watch your fur-baby(s) I make sure I send daily photos and information so everything runs smoothly. 🎉 I’m currently trying to start doing Rover for Full time, 🐾pets have a special place in my heart and my heart always comes back to spending time with them. 💓 In my free time I’m watching clients dogs or I am at home with my own 3 dogs, walking, playing, training the new puppy or cleaning. How I care for my pets in my home🐶, I am walking them in the mornings & at night time. I take them to the Lake in my town to swim, hike, walk, and play. We are always doing something with the pups, I believe they deserve to see the world like we do. I also just got a new puppy so I am working on training her myself.
“Meagan is the best- I am SO lucky we found her to watch our dogs while on vacation. She did such a great job taking care of our high energy dogs and they loved her. It was a relief to know they were in her hands! Meagan is responsible, clean, communicative, and so so kind!!!! 10000/10 will book with her again.”
About: I have a lot of hands on experience with a variety of breeds and temperaments from my family and various jobs. Every dog is different and deserves to be treated as so with a great amount of patience and care. I have had hands of experience with ptsd/reactivity even though every situation is different and learning more every day. I’ve had a lot of time spent with senior animals who require more patience and attention in their day to day care. I do work a full time job but have a flexible schedule for mornings, evenings, and nights. I can have a very structured schedule so fitting any form of pet care will be a quick and easy adjustment. I follow any instructions or tips regarding your pet. Not only does it keep your fur baby safe, but gives safety for me as well. Leaving your pet is not easy, so it is extremely important for me to do to my absolute best to adjust to your already set routine you have in place.
“If I were to describe Makenna in one word, it would be AWESOME. She was great and very accommodating with last minute requests and changes. She came at a time when my dog was recovering from minor surgery and was very attentive to his and my other dog's needs. Communication was excellent and responsive. She sent pictures to keep me updated on my two dogs, which was greatly appreciated. She was very responsible and very thorough. Looking forward to having her come over again!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 279 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Archie. 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 Archie 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 Archie 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 Archie 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.
