About: Growing up on a farm, I’ve dealt with all kinds of pets. Specifically with dogs, I’ve raised a litter of puppies, trained a bird hunting dog, and trained three dogs for my parents. My hobbies typically involve dogs, and I’ve found myself to be very patient with all dog personality types. I’m great with puppies, senior dogs, and adult dogs. I currently attend Vet School at KSU. My school schedule is typically the same throughout the weekdays, but the hours allow me to spend a lot of time with your pets in the mornings and evenings. I sometimes get done in the early afternoons as well! I’m available everyday of the week in the later part of the days, and most weekends! I would love to be able to share my great amount of down time with your furry friends! I like to follow the instructions of the client when asked to care for their pet. If pets are allowed to roam free while alone, I always ensure there are no potential hazards for them to get into, and any rooms that are off limits have doors closed. Personally, I offer multiple opportunities to go outside for bathroom breaks and to play throughout the day. I use excitement and calmness when interacting with the pet to keep them engaged. When the pet makes it clear they want attention or to play, I give it to them and do not pick a phone/computer over them. The dogs I grew up with, were on a strict time feeding schedule, so I understand the importance of feeding other pets on their schedule as well.
“She’s great! If anything I have been problematic and she’s handled everything very very well!!!! She’s great with my dog Coco, very good at communicating with me about anything! I love the texts she writes and the pictures!! Thank you for taking such good care of her!”
“Samantha did a great job looking after both of my dogs and cat while I was away for a couple days! Both dogs seemed to love when she came over and played with them, and my shy kitty Luna even eventually trusted her enough to come up to her for pets herself! Samantha was very quick to respond to any messages/questions I would send, and she reallu seemed to like looking after my pets, I can't recommend her enough!”
“Courteney was very friendly and she took good care of my 3 English Bulldogs, I have already requested her services again for the next time we will be out of town 😊”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs/cats and many other animals old and young for most of my life. I have a very high passion for taking care of any animals! As an early graduate I have ample free time, so I will have plenty of time to love and care for your dogs/cats. I love going on walks and just sitting outside. So if your animal loves that I will gladly do that with them. If your animal loves to just chill and relax I love to do that as well. I can easily crate your dog if needed. I am also very good with reactive dogs/cats and know what to do in a situation if something were to happen. If your animal needs medication I can provide it with instructions! If your animal needs any special care or has any appointments I can care for them and take them to appointments.
About: I've taken care of animals' since I could walk, I care for each animal like they're my own. You can trust me with your babies. I'm currently a stay-at-home mom, I can take care of your babies anytime. Anything you need, let me know and I can help as much as I can! I have 2 great Danes who are VERY spoiled and cared for. They have their own beds, couches, toys and a fenced in yard to run around in and play!
About: I grew up with both large and small animals, and have years of experience working with dogs that are reactive or have behavior issues such as food and toy aggression. I love being able to earn trust and provide a trusting environment to animals needing a second chance. I am currently available weekdays except Thursdays between 1pm-5pm for dog walking and drop in visits for cats. I would prefer to meet any new pets before providing a service so that im sure that they will feel comfortable with me. Please feel free to message me about housesitting and I will consider it on a case by case basis, as I am unable to housesit in my own currently. I make sure safety is a priority in my home as someone who has experience with aggressive animals. Food is always kept away, and feeding times are kept seperate and at specific times. I prioritize making sure that large animals are not left out with small animals as it can turn fatal even in bonded pairs.
About: I’ve take care dogs since I was 7 always around dogs and always helping neighbors with their dogs. It is the best environment that I love to in it. I’m currently working on base but I’m always available after 5 pm and weekends for walking daily after 5 pm or staying with me if someone needs to travel. I have a fenced backyard and friendly dog that loves to play so I have enough space for more dogs and toys for them to play.
About: I have had a dog within my household my entire life. Family and friends have asked me to watch their fur babies. I have provided drop in care and overnight care. I am a college student, so my schedule is very flexible to be able to give your fur babies all the love and attention they deserve/want! I can easily crate an animal when needed, I am always watching the clock to make sure I am on time for feedings and medicine. Walks are something I love to do if the animal permits. I am also comfortable transporting dogs, weather that be to a daycare or grooming appointment.
“Megan helped us out with our Golden Retriever puppy when we were in a jam on short notice. Her gentle personality was an immediate comfort to me. We got great updates each day of her drop in from the Rover app. Megan was very prompt with responding to any question or news we had. We appreciate her professionalism and kindness. Will definitely ask for her again!”
“I'm a nurse and work 12 hour days. When my wife left I hadn't planned ahead and knew as soon as I left our Rooi wasn't ready for extended times alone. I was able to set up a dog walk with Sarah the same day. I appreciated being kept in touch with and knowing how Rooi is doing. Sarah is reliable, friendly and I'm sure Rooi had a blast.”
“Ashley was wonderful and went above and beyond for our lab, Baron. She came by to meet us before the visits. It is obvious that she cares for animals and Baron took to her right away. Ashley played with Baron in the backyard and send photos showing us what a good time he was having. We will definitely contact her again if we have another trip where Baron can’t come.”
“We are so thankful to Stacey for giving our doggies the love while we were away! She was on time, communicated and sent gorgeous photos! Definitely hoping she is available next time we go out of town!!”
About: I am currently a SAHM and looking to make some extra money! I have 2 dogs at my home and they are my world! I also grew up with dogs my entire life! I have a chow chow/beagle mix and then I just rescued a Bernese mountain dog! I am very active and would love for your dogs to join me on my daily walks! My dogs and I are also a big fan of the dog parks here in manhattan! I promise to give your dogs all the love while you are gone (working, school, etc.)! I am available any day of the week and am willing to make whatever time needed work! Just shoot me a message and we can work something out! I have always considered my animals to be a part of my family and will treat yours the same way! I will give them plenty of love, cuddles and walks while you are gone!
About: Lifelong pet owner with experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. Reliable, attentive, and committed to providing loving care! I have two dogs of my own that are my whole world! I’m currently a stay at home wife & dog mom of two! I have very open availability to make sure your pets are cared for & will have everything they need throughout the day/night. I also would have time to go on walks or have play time with your animals to make sure they get all their energy out to have a good afternoon nap! I have a fully fenced yard with plenty of room for your pup to get some energy out! I have two dogs of my own that love to make new friends. One male 2 years old lab that is a crazy loving little man who will play well with anyone! I have a 6 year old female heeler who is very curious and is happier to sit on the sidelines when her brother is getting to play with others, but if your pup wants to snuggle or get their ears cleaned, she’s your girl! I treat my pups like they’re my babies so I wouldn’t treat yours any differently. I know how hard it can be to find someone reliable or trustworthy to watch your animals so with me you wouldn’t have to worry!

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Fort Riley stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Fort Riley 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!
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Fort Riley with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
