About: Dogs have been a part of my family since I was a little girl, and caring for them has always been something close to my heart. Over the years, I’ve enjoyed helping neighbors, coworkers, friends, and family members with dog sitting and dog walking. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy, and I would make it a priority in my daily and weekly routine. I understand the importance of keeping pets on their regular schedules for feeding, walks, playtime, and plenty of love and attention. I would plan my schedule around each pet’s individual needs to ensure they receive dependable, compassionate care and feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I always make sure pets are comfortable and safe in my home and also in their home. I make to follow their regular routines for walking, feeding, playing and any other instructions their families provide. I know it’s hard for pets to be away from their families so it is my priority to give them the attention and love they need. Every pet gets treated like family so I want families to know their pet is in the hands of someone who is friendly, caring and dependable.
About: I’ve been the go to pet sitter for family members and friends. Whether it’s keeping them company for a couple hours to just stopping by to let them out and check their food/water to watching them for multiple days. I work full time and don’t have the ability to work from home. On weekdays after 5pm I’m free to hang out with your pups! During the weekend I have more flexibility to watch or check on your pets. I don’t have any pets and currently live in an apartment complex. There is a lot of open grass space around my apartment complex and is in a good area to walk in. If you prefer your pup be in a crate if I have to leave that will need to be provided, but as long as they are house trained I have no problem with your dog free-roaming my apartment.
“Heather is so wonderful and kind to our fur-babies! She knows just what they need and what will make them happy. We fully trust her with their safety and happiness. Love her!!”

“Olivia was above amazing. My cats took to her right away and usually it takes them some time. She stayed with them, gave them treats, fed them, scooped their litter and even cleaned up the litter area. She sent pictures (which I loved) and told me how they were acting everyday. Highly recommend Olivia for any pet owner.”


About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for dogs and cats, both my own and those of friends, family, and neighbors! Over the years, I’ve helped with everything from daily walks, feeding, and playtime to overnight stays and keeping pets comfortable while their owners are away. I love staying active and am always happy to take dogs on long walks or spend time playing outside. I’m just as happy spending time with cats, whether that means interactive playtime, cuddles, or letting them relax at their own pace. I’m responsible, patient, and attentive to each pet’s individual personality and needs. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family members, and I’ll always treat your pets with the same love, care, and attention I’d give my own! I recently moved to Kansas City and work full-time in professional sports! While my weekdays are generally spent at work, I have availability in the evenings and on weekends for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting. My schedule can vary depending on games and events, but I’m happy to coordinate with pet owners to find a routine that works for everyone. I love spending my free time with animals and making sure they get plenty of love, attention, and care! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities! I follow your instructions closely, maintain a clean and safe environment, and do everything I can to make your pet feel comfortable while you’re away. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, extra cuddles, or simply relaxing, I’ll make sure they feel loved and cared for. I treat every pet and home with the same respect and attention I’d want for my own!

“Taylor did a fantastic job with my kitties! They both came out for her. She spent lots of quality time with them. My home looked and smelled clean when we got home from vacation, which never happens. She refilled my auto feeder when it got low and kept on top of the wet food and water refills. She even ran the vacuum and swept up litter kicked out of the box by my crazy young one. 10/10 recommend!”

About: I’ve always been an animal lover and have had pets my entire life! I’ve cared for both cats and dogs of all different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I know how important pets are—they really are part of the family. I’m comfortable with everything from energetic dogs who love walks and playtime to pets who would rather curl up on the couch and get some extra attention. I’m also a cat lover and understand that sometimes the best way to win over a cat is to let them decide when they’re ready to be your friend! I’m dependable, responsible, and will treat your pets with the same love and care I give my own.

Our schedules are flexible and we can adapt to your needs. We currently don't have any pets at the house. Our yard is not fenced but the neighborhood is very dog friendly with a little nature trail for walks.
“So great. This was the first pet sitter I’d hired and she did amazing with our older cat. She gave her pills and so many cuddles while we were out of town. I also appreciated all the Rover cards, updates, and great communication. When we go out of town again, Maddie will be the first person I contact.”

“DeVonna did a great job with our pups! She was timely and communicated well. We did a meet and greet prior to our drop in and both dogs loved her, she was also very accommodating in working out a 2 hour stay which was best for our schedule that day. We will be booking again!”

About: I’ve been taking care of pets my entire life. From my own dogs as a child to helping friends and neighbors take care of theirs, I have over 40 years of experience, taking care of fur babies. Currently, I have a bernadoodle, a boxer, and a pug. We’ve had many boxers over the years. I’ve taken care of puppies all the way through senior dogs. I’m comfortable giving medication’s and taking care of your fur babies as if they were my own. I am a teacher. The dogs are alone between 6 and 7 hours on a weekday. I typically leave food down, but this can be modified if need be. I have close to an acre fenced in backyard so there is room for them to run and play. The dogs are never outside unattended. Our dogs sleep with us. Taking care of an extra pet or a few extras is no problem at all! I have almost an acre yard that can be gated off into 2 separate yards. If your baby is nervous we can give them their own space to play and run.I love dogs of all sizes and breeds. Our dogs are very gentle and different sizes. When your dog is on our care we will make sure it is safe and feels comfortable. I have space to keep dogs separate if needed. My goal is to welcome your pet into our pack and treat them like family!
“Karen took such good care of Maxwell. I appreciated the photos and notes on how Maxwell was doing that she sent to me each visit. I will definitely book her again to take care of Maxwell.”

About: Growing up as far back as I can remember there were always animals roaming my house. We've had big dogs and small dogs well so I have experience with living and caring for many different animals. Most recently I have had a lot of experience caring for my brothers Dalmatian. He is about 3 years old and at approx. 75 pounds with lots of energy he can be a handful. Although I may not be much bigger than him I am still able to maintain him and handle him. One thing I am looking forward to is meeting many dogs and seeing all the different personalities and traits of the dogs. I clean houses during the week but most days are not full 8 hour days, there can be times where i work for 2 hours in a day. For me this will be extra work that I fit in around my schedule to make some extra income. I am comfortable taking dogs out for long walks or to dog parks to play, as well as drop in visits for feedings and playing.
About: I have taken care of animals of many shapes and sizes throughout my life, from large dogs to kittens. I also have volunteer experience at KC Pet Project. I actively take care of cats and dogs of my own most days of the week around school and work, as well as maintaining other hobbies. Being able to help others with their pets is very fulfilling to me! I have experience feeding, brushing, walking, and training animals. In my clients home i would provide the upmost care for their pet and their home.

Kamila was so great in the info she left about how the visit went, as well as with my dog. And she did everything I had recommended. I came home after work and I could tell my dog was happy to have had someone come take care of him for a bit while I was at work for my longer hours.

Straight forward, no issues. She didn't need a whole lot of instruction, she seemed to know the general gist of how my good boy (Siberian husky) would typically respond to a new person, so she was patient and kind with him as well as with my timid cat. Hope she will be available next time. Highly recommend.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again; Lori is the best! We were out of country and our sitter fell through and Lori jumped in to help at an hour’s notice so that our pup could have care and a familiar, friendly face for the rest of our trip. If you need someone that you can trust implicitly in your home, look no further. I promise your fur baby will thank you for it too! I can’t say enough great things about Lori.

Paola has been such a wonderful life saver! She was able to help me last minute, adapt to an off-time schedule, and made sure my pup was taken care of so I had one less thing to worry about while I was at work. I’ve utilized her services multiple times and will definitely continue to ask for her help.

Meghan did a great job taking care of both of our did while we we're out of town! She did all of the necessary things plus she played, loved on and sent us great reports and pictures! 10/10 I would definitely recommend her and use her again next time we go out of town!

Grace does an amazing job with my crew. We have 2 Cane Corso mastiffs (one with high anxiety), a Boston Terrier (hello crazy energy), and 3 cats (one that takes meds and they all eat on a strict schedule). She has done in-home pet sitting for extended trips and also drop in visits as needed. Our animals are always cared for. Our animals trust her and that is huge with us feeling comfortable leaving them. We have never had any concerns with having Grace in our home alone. She is respectful of our house and rules we set. Grace is top notch when it comes to pet sitting and I will always highly recommend her!

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Gladstone is $18 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $22 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 November 2026, there are 2,472 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Gladstone. 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.
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 Gladstone 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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
