About: I have always loved being around animals, but due to my living circumstances and travel activities, owning a pet has become complicated. After retiring in 2022, I stumbled upon pet/house sitting as a means to satisfy my travel urge and my desire to be around animals. In the three years I have been house sitting, I have cared for dozens of family pets in cities all around the US. I have a part time job working a few hours just a couple of mornings a week at a YMCA. However, I have plenty of room in my schedule when I am not traveling. Rover makes it possible for me to satisfy the urge for animal companionship when I am in KC. I do not have the space or circumstances to allow me to care for other people's pets in my home. However, I am willing to travel to your home to care for your pet when you cannot do so yourself. If you need to be gone overnight, I am willing to come and offer your pet the companionship they need to feel comfortable and safe. Similarly, I am happy to do drop-ins to let them out, feed them, take them for walks, clean their litter boxes, etc. As mentioned, I have been actively involved in pet sitting on TrustedHouseSitters for the past three years and have many 5-star reviews for my efforts.
“Anabeth took such great care of my pup, sent updates throughout day along with pics! She also washed dishes and towels before leaving! Definitely will keep her in mind for the next trip!”
“Michaela was awesome!! Took great care of Coco and it was so nice to have someone at the house to watch over everything. She even watered our plants. Excellent communication before, during and after our trip and we loved getting all of the photos while we were on vacation so we didn't have to worry. This was not our first Rover experience, but the first house sitting one and it gave us peace-of-mind for sure. Thanks again, Michaela.”
“Brittany was super sweet! We’ve never left our girls alone in our apartment and it can be nerve wracking having a stranger stay in your home, but she made us very comfortable! The girls seemed super happy when we got home & she even took the trash out for us! Definitely would use again :)”
“Kaitlyn did a great job with our two big greyhounds. A pic or note (or both) every day was greatly appreciated. She stayed at our house for a couple nights, and nothing could have been better! Thanks, Kaitlyn”
“Laura was amazing to work with! She house-sat for us and watched our dog for two weeks. Our dog is cautious and anxious with strangers, but warmed up to Laura quickly. Laura also worked with her to continue her training while we were out of town so she didn't regress and was very communicative while we were traveling. We were able to enjoy our time away knowing that our dog and home were in good hands with her. I would highly recommend Laura!”
“Ashlyn did a wonderful job of caring for our boxer pup Laney. She was very responsive & punctual and Laney was happy & well cared for when our son got home from work. We will be lucky to have Ashlyn come again!”
“We were pretty nervous about having someone in our home to take care of our pets, and have always relied on boarding with out vet, in the past. Shanelle is the first person who we have ever had housesit with our pets. We have 2 dogs and 2 cats. We have had her stay 2 or 3 times, and one time for over a week. She is wonderful! She is the sweetest, kindest person, and really seems to care about our home and our pets. Her fiance helps her from time to time and he is also very nice and reliable. Besides doing everything that was expected, she also made sure our newly planted grass was watered every day, and took our 9 month old puppy to her own home for a playdate with her own dogs. Our house was clean and in perfect order when we got home. We can't thank Shanelle enough for such a great experience, and we highly recommend her! We will have her stay again, for sure!”
“I have a dog that had an awful case of anxiety when she was a kenneled at the shelter. I can't board this dog; I think it would only set her back. I sometimes have to travel for work, often to cool places where I like to stay and sightsee, and I just couldn't do it without Alex! She is remarkable in so many ways. She's thoughtful about my home, pays attention to things like wind and weather, she understands and implements sound behavioral principles (reinforcing only the behaviors you want) and best of all, my dog and cats love her. Alex has completely won over my very skittish dog, and she even lets my crazy cats sleep with her. I cannot praise her enough!”
About: Hello! I’m Jordan and I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life, thanks to my mom being a dog groomer and breeder. From attending flyball competitions and dog shows to pet sitting during high school, I’ve developed a deep love and understanding for animals of all kinds. I currently have a cat of my own, so I’m well-versed in caring for different types of pets. Originally from South Florida, I’m using the income from this app to support my graduate school journey. Your pet will be in loving, experienced hands, and I’m excited to offer my care and attention to your furry friend! My schedule is usually pretty flexible. Message me and I'm sure we can set something up. Looking forward to care for and play with your doggies. I tend to follow the owners instructions since they are the experts of their fur babies comfort. I treat every animal as if they were my own.
“Aiden was a great sitter for our two cats and dog over the holidays while we were out of town. Kept us informed of any questions he had while we were away and was quick to respond to any messages I sent. He was unfortunate to catch the flu while watching our animals but was quick to inform us and let us know that his sister would finish up the last day while he rested. Great communication to let us know, which we thought was awesome. The house was spotless upon our return which we think is a great reflection of his services. Highly recommend.”
