“Jessica did an outstanding job with my pets! She followed all my instructions and my house was in a pristine condition when I returned. Jessica was easy to communicate with, responsive, and accommodating to my meet & greet request. I will definitely use Jessica again.”
“Cameron did an excellent job taking care of our mastiff and our very sassy doodle. He was wonderful with both dogs and treated them like his own. We also felt completely at ease knowing our home was in great hands. Highly recommend!”
“Great having Saige as my first sitter! We met at a Starbucks to do a meet and greet and I instantly felt comfortable. Scary bringing a stranger into your home these days, so I was thankful she was open to answering any questions and wanted me to feel comfortable. Days later, I then had Saige come to my home to meet my cat and see the space to ensure she would also be comfortable sitting at my home. She petsitted or pet sat(?) lol, for 4 days and there’s hardly a hint that she was ever here - meaning she left the place as she found it and didn’t leave a mess or anything. I don’t think my kitty ever got super used to having a stranger in her home but that’s not Saige’s fault. My kitty is just super shy and takes a while to warm up to strangers. I just asked that Saige respect her boundaries and space and I believe she did that! My kitty is almost 16 years old and I just really wanted that reassurance of having someone around more often than just bopping in for 15 mins a day - so I’m thankful for finding this service and the sitting going smoothly! Would book Saige again!”
“Baleigh took fantastic care of our four-legged daughter while we were out of town. Asked all the right questions about her care, watched the house while we were away, was clean neat professional, fantastic communication. Will definitely be booking with her again in the future. I highly recommend Baleigh for all your pet and house sitting needs!!!”
About: I have had cats and dogs pretty much all of my life whenever my family is gone. I am the one who babysits and walks them. I can even put diapers on a dog that is going through heat if need be lol! I am working part time, but for the most part I am very flexible and will be ready if you need to reach out to me for any pet sitting or dog walking. For the pets in my home, I usually always take her on walks morning, noon and night to make sure all of their potty requirements are good making sure they have food and water through all hours of the day.
“Excellent sitter for my 8 year old and 2 1 year old Rottweiler puppies. Mya is a loving and compassionate person. She followed my special instructions to the tee and was especially great with my youngest puppy with epilepsy as one of the 7 dogs in her own household also has epilepsy. I couldn't have asked for a better person than Mya for my last minute booking while I had surgery. Will definitely use her repeatedly! Highly recommend.”
“Kathy watched our dogs over 4th of July weekend and did a wonderful job taking care of them and managing their anxiety. She kept me updated all weekend and left our house in great shape. We will absolutely be booking with her again in the future!”
About: I have always loved dogs growing up and playing with them brings me a sense of joy. I have dogs of my own and I always make sure that they are loved and cared for I currently work as a receptionist part time, so I’m free anytime to love, play, and take care of your pets whenever it’s necessary for you! At my home we have an electric fence, but we also have leashes for our dogs and others friends incase we have company over there
“Martie was amazing! It was our first time being away so long and having someone house sit and care for our elderly dog and energetic cat. We received so many pictures, and so many good ones! She put our mind at ease. And she was so responsive with communication. Should we need this service again there is no doubt we would want her!”
“Pamela was easy to talk to and give instructions to. She came to our house right on time, kept an open communication line with us during our trip. She loved our dogs and they loved her back. She left our home as clean or cleaner than we left it. Towels and bedding were clean and ready for our arrival home. Thank you Pamela. Until next time. The Roberts family.”
“Jodi was an excellent sitter! She kept us informed with photos and info about our pets. I knew they were getting lots of attention and being well taken care of. She stayed in our house while we were away, and she left it tidy. I highly recommend her!”
“Josh did another fantastic job staying with our pups. He is so good at sending pictures and videos too. Our flight got delayed and he stayed later than originally agreed upon. We never worry when he’s with our pups!”
“Kathryn is phenomenal. I have had her housesit for my 3 year old 10 pound toy poodle twice now. He suffers from separation anxiety and cannot be left alone for very long. The 2 times Kathryn has sat for me I was gone for long weekends. She stayed with him the entire time never leaving him alone. He absolutely adores her and is extremely comfortable with her. She is very loving and has no problems following the instructions I leave for her. I will only have her sit with him.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Grain Valley
6/5 would recommend! Maddie did an incredible job watching our dogs and cats while we were away! Her daily updates and picture check-ins gave us total peace of mind throughout the whole trip. We were especially grateful that she was right there with our fur babies on the 4th of July to keep them calm and reassured through the noise. She is reliable, attentive, and genuinely cares about the animals in her care. They were happy, relaxed, and loved having her around—we will definitely be booking with Maddie again!
This was our first time using Rover, and Emma made us feel at ease with our meet and greet, and overall process. She was reliable, our dogs seemed to love her, and she was very communicative. We will definitely try and book her again in the future. Thank you, Emma!
Emma has now watched our “zoo” twice while we’ve been out of town and she has done a great job both times! We fully plan to continue using her for all future needs, as long as she’s available. And we would highly recommend her to anyone else, especially those with lots of pets.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Grain Valley walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Grain Valley maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Grain Valley 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!

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 .
