“Jenna was great. Super communicative, very attentive during the meet and greet, and sent regular updates for both my pets. I would definitely have her house sit again!”
“Lauren is amazing! She communicated regularly and sent pictures to us throughout our vacation. Our dog was well cared for and happy when we got home. We will absolutely book with Lauren again and recommend her to our friends!”
“Jennifer was so good with my dogs! I felt very comfortable with her staying with them. We already have her scheduled for our next trip. 🙂 I would definitely recommend her!!!”
“Karrie did a great job and caring for Chase and the house! When we got home Chase was his happy self and really seemed like he enjoyed Karrie’s company. The house was well taken care of as well!! Would definitely book with Karrie again!”
“Here’s a polished, glowing review you can use: ⸻ Laurie was absolutely incredible! She stepped in for us at the very last minute and handled everything with such calm professionalism. Our dog, Archer, can be a bundle of nerves, but Laurie had the patience of a saint. She treated him with so much kindness and understanding. We are so grateful for her flexibility, her gentle approach, and the genuine care she showed. Highly recommend Laurie to anyone—especially those with anxious or high-energy pups. She’s truly the best!”
“Virginia was awesome and took care of our pups while we were away for a week. House was left very clean and she even took care of some of my mail that was delivered throughout the week. She asked appropriate questions and double checked anything that was not clear with our instructions. She was very knowledgeable and you can tell she is passionate about her job while pet sitting. I can't think of anything that would have made this a better experience. I will certainly use her again in the future.”
“This was myy first time with a dog sitter and it was beyond my expectations! During Jennifer's meet and greet she took copious notes she shared them with me later. During her stay she was in constant communication which I preferred. Here's where we went beyond she played sniff and puzzle games with my dogs. Helped make adjustments with potty time to greatly reduce accidents that I was struggling with and taught one of my dogs how to sit nicely and not beg during treat time. I highly recommend Jennifer!!!”
About: Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or overnight stays, your furry friend will receive all the love and attention they deserve. I prioritize safety and fun, ensuring your pet feels at home while you’re away. I’ve been taking care of pets for friends and neighbors ever since high school. This has included both dog walking and dog/cat sitting. I was also a nanny to both a toddler and two dogs so I am confident that I have the experience to ensure excellent care for every pet that I take on. Let’s connect and make your pet’s day brighter! I work from home Wednesday/Friday and other weekdays I typically get home from work around 2 pm. Weekends I am completely free. I am a homebody at heart so looking for some furry friends to keep me company or get me out for my daily walk/run! I am both a huge dog and cat lover! I live in an apartment in a very pet friendly building within a great walking neighborhood. I love taking dogs along for my morning run if they need to let out some extra energy. I have no pets of my own to worry about which is why I’m looking to give yours some extra love! Totally willing to accommodate any special request such as administering medicine, maintaining a training regimen, etc.
“Kelsey was amazing! She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures. Our house was spotless, towels washed and no poop left in the yard. We could tell she took good care of everything, including our fur babies.”
“We were so happy to have Erika come stay with our dog! She was professional, easy to work with, and clearly loves taking care of dogs. She sent frequent photos and updates, and was quick to respond to our texts. And her flexible schedule meant our dog didn’t need to be left for any long stretches. We look forward to having Erika come back again!”
“Thomas was amazing with our animals. So loving and kind, they were happy and healthy when we returned. He also took immaculate care of our apartment, it was clean and tidy when we returned!”
“Haley was fantastic! She took great care of our two big dogs while we were out of town. She sent us pictures to keep us updated and it was clear that the boys loved her company in our absence. We didn’t have to worry about them at all while we were gone. We would absolutely recommend her and will be using her services again in the future!”
“We could not have asked for a better first experience using Rover than with Mya! From start to finish, she made leaving our boy so stress-free. She took the absolute best care of him, treating him like her own and sending the cutest picture updates that completely brightened our days while we were away. Beyond being fantastic with him, Mya took wonderful care of our home, leaving everything so tidy and well kept. It was such a relief to come back to the happiest pup and total peace of mind. We are so grateful to have found Mya and will definitely be booking with her again—we couldn't recommend her more highly!”
“We have had multiple dog sitters stay at our house since moving to KC a few years ago, Rhonda is our absolute favorite! Our dogs are so happy everytime we get back and the house is always exactly how we left it.”
“Christina was THE BEST dog and house sitter we have ever found on Rover in Kansas City. Incredibly professional, super nice, our dog LOVED HER, she left our home cared for and spotless, and sent us a ton of pulsates. 13/10, we can’t (and our pup can’t!) wait to work with her again :)”
“I think she did a wonderful job watching our animals! She sent us a couple pictures and checked in just about every day. She stayed and hung out with our golden retriever and the house looked untouched when we came back! Definitely recommend!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Avondale
We have used Jenna before as a dog walker for our Frenchie, Fender, and have always had a great experience with her. This time, my wife and I were leaving for a two-week trip, so it was the first time we had Jenna stay at our condo and take care of Fender for an extended period. We couldn’t be happier with how everything went! Jenna took wonderful care of Fender and made us feel completely comfortable being away from him for that long. She sent us the cutest updates and took so many fun, playful pictures of him while they were hanging out and playing together. It was obvious from the photos that Fender was happy, comfortable, and getting plenty of attention—which means a lot to us because he is definitely our fur-baby! She also took great care of our condo while we were gone and left everything in great shape when we returned home. Being away for two weeks is a long time, and knowing that Fender and our home were both in good hands made our trip that much more enjoyable. We’re very happy with Jenna and would absolutely trust her to stay with Fender again. It’s a great feeling to have someone you know you can count on when you have to leave your four-legged family member behind. Thank you, Jenna, for taking such great care of our little guy!
I can’t say enough wonderful things about Kelsey! She watched my Chihuahua and my Maine Coon cat for 11 days while I was out of the country, and I felt completely confident that my fur babies were in great hands. Kelsey gave my Chihuahua plenty of love and attention every single day. She played with her and even sent me videos of her having a blast with her little squeaky toy. 🥰 She also made sure my cat stayed entertained with all of her electronic chasing toys. It was so reassuring to receive regular updates and see how happy and well cared for they both were. Kelsey sent me so many pictures and videos during the 11 days I was away. She also left me beautiful, detailed notes about the care she provided each day, which I really appreciated. And she didn’t just take care of my pets. She took wonderful care of my newly planted backyard garden too! Honestly, I think Kelsey may have a greener thumb than I do. 🌱🌻 When I came home, the house was clean, my bed was clean and ready for me, and most importantly, my pets were happy, healthy, and clearly loved. If you have high-maintenance pets who need lots of attention, playtime, and individualized care, I highly recommend Kelsey. She went above and beyond, and I would absolutely trust her with my fur babies again! ❤️🐾
Our previous Rover sitter flaked out on us right when we already left for our trip. Lauren stepped and cared for my pups. She was so understanding of the situation and had genuine concern for the care of the pups. I highly recommend and would request her again!
Jennifer did an excellent job taking care of our fur babies! Her communication was outstanding, and we loved all of the pictures and updates she sent while we were away. What we appreciated most were her detailed notes and thoughtful assessment of their behavior and interactions. This was especially helpful and reassuring because we have an Anatolian Shepherd, who can be a little tricky to read. Jennifer was very observant and took the time to understand his personality, body language, and comfort level, which gave us tremendous peace of mind. It was clear that she genuinely cared about our pups and paid attention to the little details. We felt completely confident knowing they were in such capable and caring hands. We would absolutely recommend Jennifer and will definitely use her again!
Lauren was a fantastic sitter! Communication was great whether it was asking questions or letting me know how my critters were doing. I could tell Rags (Brussels) and Clyde (Jardine) were well taken care of the week I was gone. Would highly recommend Lauren for pet care and will be using her again in the future.
Kaitlyn did an amazing job caring for our two dogs while we were away for the week. She was attentive, reliable, and made sure our pups were happy and well cared for. She also kept our home clean and tidy throughout her stay, which we truly appreciated. We came home to happy dogs and a well-kept house! We would absolutely recommend Kaitlyn and will definitely reach out to her again for future trips!
Evan stayed in our home for over two weeks with our four animals (two cats, two dogs), and we couldn’t be more grateful! He sent us lots of updates with cute photos and videos, and our animals clearly loved him. He even extended his stay when our plans changed, and our home was clean and organized when we returned. We will absolutely be reaching out to Evan again in the future. Thank you for everything!

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 Avondale 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 Avondale 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Avondale 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 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.
