About: I am training to be a dog trainer so I could help train you dogs/cats. I don't have any dogs of my own right now but I would love to help others people and their pets. I would love to take care of pets. I will only stay at your house with your pet if you need me to or would like me to. I can walk them as long as it isn't too hot or too cold for them. When pet sitting I could help teach you pets how to do new tricks.

About: I have experience caring for a wide variety of animals and genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet's individual personality and needs. I have volunteered at the Kansas Humane Society as well as Beauties and Beasts. I’m dependable, attentive, and committed to following your instructions and keeping you updated while you’re away. Most importantly, I treat every pet as if they were my own. Pet care fits well into my daily routine because I have a flexible schedule and can plan visits around my other commitments. I am most available for drop-in visits and dog walks during weekday evenings and throughout Saturday and Sunday. I understand that consistency is important, especially for pets who are used to a regular schedule. I do my best to maintain their normal routine while you're away and communicate with you if anything changes. I follow each pet's individual routine and prefer to have instructions written out, along with the opportunity to meet and greet beforehand. During drop-in visits, I make sure pets have fresh food and water and give them attention, playtime, and bathroom breaks based on their needs. For dog walks, I'll follow your instructions for the length and pace of the walk and make sure your dog is safely returned home. I also take care to keep homes tidy and secure. Not only do I want your pets to feel safe and cared for while you're away, I want you to feel comfortable knowing they are being well looked after. I'll keep you updated during visits and am happy to send photos so you know how they're doing. I also take care to keep homes tidy and secure. Not only do I want your pets to feel safe and cared for while you're away, I also want you to feel comfortable that they are being well looked after. I'll keep you updated during visits and am happy to send photos so you know how they're doing.

I'm currently staying at home, so I have plenty of time to provide full-time care for your pets! Potty breaks are available throughout the day, along with regular walks, playtime, and lots of attention.

About: I’ve been caring for pets for 5 years, and it honestly never feels like “work” — it feels like hanging out with the cutest little personalities on the planet. I’ve looked after energetic pups, shy rescues, seniors who need a slower pace, and everything in between. I understand pet body language, I adapt to their vibe, and I know how to make them feel safe, happy, and understood. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just giving them company when they’re missing their humans, I match my energy to what your pet needs. My goal is always the same: keep your pet comfortable, calm, and cared for. Because I’m currently job hunting, I have plenty of free time to dedicate to your pet. That means more availability for drop-ins, flexible scheduling, and longer, more relaxed walks or hangouts if your pet needs extra attention. Your pet will never feel rushed — they get my full time, full presence, and full patience. Your pet’s safety is my biggest priority. I take a very intentional, calm approach to care so your pet always feels secure and protected. I pay attention to the details — locked gates, secure leashes, clean water, correct feeding times, and any specific instructions you share. Trust matters, and I work to earn it with both you and your pet.

About: Dogs have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I truly believe they deserve to be treated like family. I’ve owned dogs throughout my entire adult life and understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for them when you can’t be there. I’m a reliable, responsible, and detail-oriented person who will take the time to learn your pet’s routine, personality, and individual needs. Whether your dog needs a walk, a potty break, some playtime, or simply someone to keep them company, I’ll make sure they get the attention and care they deserve. I currently offer dog walking, drop-in visits in your home, and boarding for one dog at a time in my home. I provide personalized, one-on-one care and will make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for during their stay. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and a detailed report after each visit or boarding stay so you know exactly how your pet is doing while you’re away. My goal is simple: when you’re not home, I want your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Now that I’m home full-time with a flexible schedule, pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and other pet care needs throughout the week, with only occasional appointments to work around. I have three dogs of my own who are a huge part of our family, and my 1-year-old daughter absolutely adores her dog sisters. She loves helping give them their daily treats and showering them with pets! Our days are already filled with lots of love for animals, and I’d love to extend that same care, attention, and affection to your pets. I can be flexible with scheduling and will always prioritize making sure your pets receive reliable, loving, and individualized care. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I have a large, fully fenced backyard with plenty of room for safe outdoor play, exercise, and exploring. My three friendly dogs are part of our family and can provide companionship for pups who enjoy furry friends, with introductions and interactions always handled carefully and supervised. As a stay-at-home mom, I’m home full-time with a flexible schedule, allowing me to provide attentive, dependable care throughout the day. Whether your pup is staying in our home, joining me for walks, or receiving care in the comfort of their own home, I’ll make sure they get plenty of supervision, exercise, playtime, cuddles, and rest while sticking as closely as possible to their usual routine. I also offer drop-in visits and dog walking for local families, including feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and medication when needed. I know how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member and your home in someone else’s care. I’ll treat both with the same love, respect, and attention I give my own family, keeping you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

About: My name is Faith and I am a young professional here in Wichita. I love all animals but dogs are my favorite! I have an 8 year old cocker spaniel and a new rescue girl who is 4 of my own so I love to take dogs on walk and let them explore the outside world. I have lots of love to go around so I am 110% okay with any breed of dog, any age or size! I will make sure they get lots of attention and cuddles while they are also being taken care of. I want to make sure that your pet has a great time while you are away and that they get the care they need! I also have grown up with cats so I am comfortable taking care of all types of pets! During the week I am predominantly free in the evenings and nights but can be flexible in the day time. I work during the week but I am able to make most times work within my schedule. I am all about the animals safety and comfort. My own dog is very anxious so I am comfortable with dogs who struggle in vetting situations and I am comfortable crating dogs as well. I want to make sure they are comfortable and everyone is safe

About: Since 2018, I’ve been the go-to Rover sitter for pet parents who want peace of mind and pups who want nonstop love and attention. 🐶 I don’t just ‘watch’ dogs. I keep them safe, happy, and cared for as if they were my own.” I trust dogs more than I trust most humans, which makes this more than just a side gig for me. Caring for your pups is something I genuinely enjoy. Why choose me? • 🛡️ Safety first: Your dog’s wellbeing is always my #1 priority (and mine too, because let’s be honest, no one wants a Rottweiler deciding I look like a chew toy). • 🏃‍♀️ Active & alert: I’m quick on my feet, tuned in, and ready to spring into action if a situation gets “ruff.” • 🧠 Dog smarts + intuition: I have a natural ability to read dogs’ body language and moods, whether I’m meeting a nervous Chihuahua or a 120 pound gentle giant. • 📸 Peace of mind updates: Expect photos, videos, and proof of tail wags so you feel like you never left. Over the years, every dog I’ve cared for has left a paw print on my heart (and sometimes a little slobber on my shirt). Big or small, shy or spunky … I’ve worked with them all, and I strive to make every pup feel safe, loved, and entertained while you’re away. If you want a sitter who will love your dog like family, treat safety like sacred ground, and sprinkle in a little humor along the way, I’m your person. 🐾 Taking care of dogs isn’t a side gig for me . Definitely a lifestyle. I already have my own little wolfpack, so loving, protecting, and spoiling pups is second nature. When your K9 is with me, they’re not just “watched”… they’re family. Think of it as a WIN/WIN: your dog gets unconditional love and adventure, and you get peace of mind knowing they’re safe, happy, and thriving. I can’t wait to meet your best friend (and claim them as my new sidekick).

Rose Hill, KS, 67133

About: I grew up on a farm in Kansas, have a degree in Biology and have been around animals my entire life. Anyone who knows me, will attest that I pay lots of attention to their pets. I have been asked to watch houses and pets for years by family and friends who don't trust anyone else. I have kept dogs, cats, sheep, cows, ducks, fish, reptiles, spiders, insects, birds and lizards as pets. I normally work a 9-5 schedule Monday through Friday and live alone in Rose Hill, KS. Most evenings I go for a walk when it cools down because I love being outdoors. On my walks, I usually end up petting several neighborhood dogs and cats that eagerly await my attention. In general, I try to observe and match the energy level and interests of a particular pet. My day job involves going into lots of homes with pets. I get plenty of practice meeting new pets and needing to win them over fast.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Derby

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Derby is $18 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $7 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 October 2026, there are 384 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Derby. 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 .

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 , 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 Derby. On Rover:

  • 89% 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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
