“Stephanie was great! She was very responsive and communicative leading up to and during her drop-in and I will definitely be reaching out to her again!”

About: I began consistently dog sitting throughout high school starting in 2022. Since then, I’ve built strong relationships with many repeat clients who continue to trust me to care for their pets whenever they’re away. Neighbors, friends, and families rely on me to walk, feed, bathe, and provide attentive, dependable care. As an Animal Science student, I have hands-on experience working with animals, giving me a deeper understanding of animal behavior, health, and proper care. What sets me apart is my reliability, communication, and attention to detail. I treat every pet like my own and make sure their routine stays consistent and stress-free. I’m comfortable with puppies, high-energy dogs, and senior pets that need extra patience and care. I can follow feeding schedules, administer basic medications, and provide plenty of exercise, playtime, and affection. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages so you always know your pet is in good hands. I’m not working this summer, so I have a very open and flexible schedule to dedicate to pet care. I’m available Monday through Sunday for walks, drop-ins, sitting, and boarding, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. This allows me to give your pet plenty of attention, exercise, and consistent care throughout the day. I’m also flexible with last minute bookings and can easily adjust to your pet’s routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. While I don’t have a fenced yard, I make sure all outdoor time is supervised and dogs are always on a leash to ensure their safety. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and needs, and I always follow your specific instructions, including feeding schedules, medications, and routines. I provide a clean, calm, and structured environment where your pet can feel safe and relaxed. I’m experienced with dogs of different temperaments and energy levels, and I take the time to make sure they are comfortable and well cared for. Whether I’m in my home or yours, I treat every pet like my own and prioritize trust, consistency, and safety at all times.
“We can’t say enough great things about Samantha! She was so flexible with our work schedules and absolutely so sweet with our 2 fur babies. I think they miss her! Such a comforting thought, knowing that they were taken care of. Can’t wait to book again!”

About: I have a degree in animal science that is accompanied with 10+ years of experience in providing pet care in both professional and personal settings. I love and find joy in all species of pets, ranging from large farm amimals to small house pets! I am also CPR/First Aid certified, ensuring that your fur baby is in safe hands at all times. I have a full time job at my favorite animal health care company but after shifts I am fully free to attend to your fur baby Mon-Fri 4pm until needed and/or Sat-Sun 8am until needed! I have a fenced in yard with ample space for your fur baby to run around and play, with a nearby park great for walks! There is dedicated crate spacing provided as well if needed.
“Ryan has excellent communication and is so great with our dogs. He’s been incredibly flexible and accommodating to our ever-shifting schedule. We would highly recommend him!!”

“I really appreciate Hannah! I needed to hire someone last minute for my 5 furbabies, and she was more than willing. I asked if she wouldn't mind if I reached out for additional days toward the end of my trip away, and though I ended up not needing to do so, she was willing to do that as well. Additionally, my senior rottweiler mix likes to "give attitude," which can be scary if you aren't familiar with it, and Hannah handled that beautifully. She was communicative when it happened, which allowed me to message her to share what to do about it (which was to let the dog throw her fit and leave her be). I'd hire her again in a heartbeat, and probably will when I take trips in the future!”

About: We are an active family with two youth athletes that love to keep dogs active or snuggle on the couch. We have a large yard with a 5-foot privacy fence as well as plenty of room to spoil your pup indoors. We are experienced with foster and rescue dogs of all shapes and sizes. We rescued our first two fur-babies over 16 years ago. They lived long, healthy lives for 15 and 16 years, respectively. Once they crossed the rainbow bridge, we began fostering dogs in our home. We have fostered 3-week-old bottle-fed puppies, geriatric, medical cases, giant, excited, calm, small and everything in between. We now have two large breed rescues that joined our family in 2021. They are friendly, happy and kennel trained dogs that get along great with other canine friends! I work a hybrid schedule which means I work from home during the day Monday and Friday and we are both home during the weekends. During the summer, our kids (12 and 16yo) are both home (when they aren't at sports practices) and love to help! We kennel the dogs while we are away (usually attending a sport activity) but never longer than 4 hours at a time. We have a large yard that has a 5-foot privacy fence. The dogs have plenty of room to run and play! Our home has plenty of space on the main level as well as a finished basement. We kennel either in our spare bedroom or the garage, wherever the dogs are most comfortable.
About: I love dogs and cats like they are my best friends because they are the most loving, loyal creatures I’ve ever met on this planet! They make me so happy always! I have an hour lunch during the week and weekends are usually free! If I commit to watching a dog/cat for several days in a row whether checking in or staying at their home, I make sure they are well taken care of cuz that’s really all that matters. They get all my love and attention! I have a pet friendly house but much rather take care of them at their own home as it’s likely more familiar/comfortable for them and convenient for the pet’s owner.

About: I grew up around dogs and have always had a love for caring for animals. From a young age, I helped take care of my own dogs and would also help family members by babysitting, walking, feeding, and spending time with their dogs. Being around different breeds and personalities has taught me how to be patient, responsible, and attentive to each dog’s individual needs. I truly enjoy making pets feel safe, loved, and cared for while their owners are away. I have a baby of my own his name is Rocky he’s Australian Shepherd beagle mix. I’m always active I work as a medical assistant. I am a trustworthy and dependable dog sitter who treats every pet like they are my own. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your dog in someone else’s care, which is why I prioritize safety, communication, and giving each dog the attention and love they deserve. I am responsible, patient, and committed to creating a comfortable and positive experience for both pets and their owners.
About: I’ve always had dogs in my life, either from friends, my own house, partners, parties at houses, and more. Every dog I’ve met I’ve become friends with and we usually vibe together at every meeting. I love playing with dogs and getting their energy out, but I also love chilling with low energy dogs and having some quiet time. I truly am open to all kinds of dogs to watch and I’d love to be friends with your dog too! I’m currently working two part-time jobs and I am starting classes back up on August 18, but I am still available for over-night house sitting and potty breaks throughout the day. Weekends should allow me some more time to spend with the pet(s) as I won’t be as busy during the day. I make sure to always follow any rules set by the home owners, as I believe the place I’m staying should be respected and kept tidy. I make sure to cross off any lists I’ve made of supplies that will be needed during the time the home/pet owners are gone. I also love staying places because it feels like a mini vacation for myself. And, I get to do it with pets around?? Heck yeah!
About: I raised my first dog to a healthy, ripe 17 years of age. My new pup is a rescue and I have helped her become an obedient (mostly), well-mannered good girl. We take walks everyday, even when it’s cold. I have patient and a calm demeanor which I believe most dogs need when interacting with a new person. I work during the day M-F most of the time. I am free in the evenings and on weekends. Currently working part time so my schedule is a bit more open. I have an energetic puppy that loves to run around at the dog park at my apartment complex. I typically crate my dog when I’m not home. Okay with having dogs free at client’s house if that what the pup is most comfortable with.

About: I grew up with dogs, so once I graduated college, I started dog sitting as a way to get my fix in. In the past several years, I've worked with cocker spaniels, pugs, golden retrievers, border collies, pit bulls, Austrialian cattle dogs, and mutts :) I have experience working with multiple dogs at the same time, as well as dog and people aggressive dogs. I have a house with lots of space for playing, and a fenced in yard so friends can run around my backyard. I am currently not working, so I am very flexible on my availability! My daughter is in part-time daycare and is home on Tuesdays and Thursdays, so I am free virtually all day Monday/Wednesday/Friday! I have had Rover sitters watch my pet before, so I know how important it is to be respectful of someone else's space. I'll make it a priority to leave your home as I found it!
About: I am new to the KC area and looking to start doing Rover again. I take pride in doing a job well done. I vow to treat your furry friend as my own. I am currently working a full time job but would be interested in doing Rover on the weekends. Dog walking or drop in visits preferably. I am comfortable with going to your home. I live in an apartment but have a front yard. I love to go on walks and I love dogs.
About: Hi! I’m currently a student at the university of Kansas Medical Center. I’ve had at least one dog in the house as long as I can remember. I’ve helped care for special needs dogs and laid back dogs by walking, bathing, and administering medications. As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to find a perfect sitter for your furry family, so reach out if you think i’d be a good fit for you! As a graduate student at ku I am in several classes. Class schedules can vary and I also have a part time job but I have no problem moving my schedule around if able. Weekends I am free! I will not be able to care for any pets in my home as I am currently staying in an apartment with my sweet cat who prefers to be alone.
About: My extensive experience in pet care has equipped me with a diverse set of skills, and a wealth of knowledge that are essential for providing exceptional service as a pet sitter. Over the years I have successfully cared for a wide variety of animals, ranging from dogs and cats to rabbits, birds, and reptiles this experience has not only deep in my understanding of different species, but has also stretched my ability to cater to their specific needs and preferences. I prioritize the well-being of each pair in my care by ensuring they receive attentive feeding, regular exercise, and amble companionship I understand that each animal has its own personality and routine, and I take the time to learn and adapt to these individual characteristics. Whether it’s a hyper dog that requires daily walks in playtime or a shy cat that refers quiet companionship. I am committed to creating a safe and nurturing environment that fosters trust and comfort. My dedication to understanding each pet unique needs extends beyond their daily routines. I actively engage with them, observing their behavior, and mood to ensure that they are happy and healthy. This personalized approach not only enhances their overall experience, but also helps alleviate any anxiety that they may feel in the absence of their owners. In addition to my hands on experience, I am well prepared to handle emergencies that may arise during my time as a pet sitter I have undergone training and basic pet first aid, and CPR, which enables me to respond to actively to any unexpected situation whether it’s a minor injury or sudden illness, my ability to administer the basic medical care, and make informed decision under pressure further, demonstrates my reliability and dedication to the pets that I care for. I understand the importance of communication with pet owners. I make it a priority to keep them updated on their pets, well-being through regular check ins, photos and messages. This transparency, not only reassures pet owners, but all the strengthens the bond between us.

I work three days a week which provide me with plenty of time to dedicate to caring for your pets. The schedule allows me to engage with them, fully ensuring they receive the attention and love that they deserve as a nurse my work hours can vary significantly, so I find it beneficial to arrange bookings in advance whenever possible this helps me manage my time effectively and ensures that I can provide the best care for your pets. However, I understand that sometimes unexpected situations arise, and I’m always open to accommodating last-minute request upon days have both work for us. My goal is to be flexible and responsive to your knees, whole, ensuring that your pets are well taken care of. My yard is unfenced which allows for more open inviting space yet the surrounding neighborhood providing an ideal environment for walks and outdoor adventures, the tree lined streets and friendly atmosphere, make it a perfect place for pets to explore and enjoy the fresh air. I have a friendly, pitbull named Stewart, who is not only friendly, but also loves the company of other pets. He has a gentle manner and enjoys playing and interacting with new friends, making him a great companion for your pet during their stay.Iif you have any concerns about their interaction I can easily create a pet or separate them as needed, ensuring that everyone feels comfortable and safe. In addition to providing a welcoming environment, I take pride in preparing homemade treats for the pet in my care. The treats are made by using natural ingredients, ensuring that they are both delicious and beneficial for your pets. I believe that a little intelligence can go a long way and making their stay just a little bit more enjoyable. NO PRESSURE. but for those interested in taking a piece of this experience home, I also offer treat bags for sale.

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.

Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.
