“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!”
“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 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.
About: Dogs have always had a special place in my heart. Since I was very small, I've connected easily with all dogs, and felt a lot of love and kindness towards them. Besides taking care of my own dogs throughout my life, I also have experience with dogsitting for friends and family. At home, I have 2 boxer lab mixes who I love dearly. Some people are a "people person"; I am a "dog person" and have always been. I love to care for dogs and make them feel loved and nurtured. Whether it's walking, bathing, feeding, or playing fetch with your dog - I promise to be a thouhtful and compassionate helper. My schedule is extreamly flexible. I'm a college student; responsible, reliable, and dependable. I will have plenty of time for dog-sitting, dog-walking, house-sitting, and other dog related activites. I am comfortable meeting whatever needs your dog might have. Whether letting them out to run in the yard, taking them for walks, or making a trip to the park; I am ready and willing to keep your dog's world as stable, dependable and joyful as possible. I am comfortable accommodating special needs like administering medications and following diet and exercise routines. My goal is to make sure your dog thrives.
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, including 2 senior dogs and 2 puppies. I currently have 2 dogs of my own—a Pit Bull and a Lab—as well as a cat. I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family and make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, and care while you’re away. 🐾 I have 2 dogs and a cat that I care for daily. You let me know what needs to be done and I can do it. I can keep pets separated or I can crate an animal, if preferred. I will care for the animal however you are most comfortable with.
“Cameron watched our two dogs and our house for two weeks while we were on vacation. I honestly dont think we would have had better or more attentive service from a close friend or even a family member. Cameron was on time, every time. Left the house just as spotless as it was when we left, and the dogs loved having his company. The daily messages and pup-photos were proof of that. If you're looking for someone to watch your pets and/or your home, just stop looking and contact Cameron.”
About: I had a pet Chihuahua Ratterrier mix growing up and have experience babysitting a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel for one family for several years. For them, I follow a feeding and walking schedule they give me. Any specific instructions and requirements are no problem for me. Let me love your dog! I am a college student at UMKC trying to save up for a trip to New York by October. I have classes Monday-Thursday (with an online class on Wednesday) but even on school days my schedule is pretty flexible. If the pet is friendly and sociable, I try to give them as much attention as possible. Animals love love but also I love to love on animals so I consider that a win-win. But I also know some pets are shy with strangers so I respect whatever the pet is feeling. If the pet is known to be destructive, I keep an eye on them as much as possible. I sometimes do have homework and responsibilities so I might be on my laptop at times as well but any concerns owners may have with that can be worked out easily. I understand all animals have their own unique personalities and needs that come with them.
About: We have fun with our toys, playing catch, chasing eachother, they go along with the diet you have in place and we always show them praise when they do good! I’m a stay at home mom, with two kids and two dogs! It’s a loving, caring and fun environment! I have more than enough time to care and love your furry loved one! I have two fur babies here with me, one medium one large but both friendly and easy to play with, I can kennel either one of them up at any time if need be!
About: I provide expert care for a wide variety of animals, including dogs, cats, birds, fish, reptiles, and small pets. I am uniquely qualified to manage senior felines and medically intensive cats. My background includes rescue work, complex medical management, and specialized nutrition. Pet care is a lifelong passion and a core priority for me. I treat every animal in my care as a cherished family member, ensuring they receive the highest level of attention, safety, and affection. Pet care is my primary focus, allowing me to build my daily and weekly schedules entirely around the needs of the animals in my care. Because I manage a diverse range of species, my routine is structured to provide both consistent companion animal attention and precise habitat monitoring. When visiting your home, my focus is on maintaining absolute security, cleanliness, and the comfort of your pets in their familiar surroundings. Standard Companion Care: I handle feeding, fresh water replacement, litter box scooping, and dog walking. I follow your home security protocols precisely and provide regular photo updates. Advanced Aquatic Care: I check water levels, monitor filtration systems, verify water temperatures, and inspect fish closely for early signs of illness or stress. Specialized Reptile Care: I execute exact dietary plans, verify humidity levels, and ensure heating elements or UV lamps are functioning perfectly. To provide the best possible care, I always welcome written instructions, care guides, or checklists from pet parents. Knowing your pet's unique quirks and daily routine helps me keep them happy and stress-free!
“Karrie was fantastic! She stayed in our home, which helped our dogs feel comfortable and relaxed right away. She kept them on their usual routine, so we never had to worry while we were away. She was also a wonderful house guest and even washed dishes and bedding before she left. We couldn't have asked for better care and will definitely be booking with her again!”
About: I've been caring for cats since l was about about 6 or 7 years old. After I lost my oldest cat Sailym at 17, I've decided I wanted to continue helping others with their pets while they travel and give them a peace of mind like I had during my trips to Spain in college. The past few years I have dedicated some of my free time to help a few family and friends with their other dogs and cats while they take long travels at a country. I currently work full time but am free throughout the entire weekend which is why I prefer cats. I am able to stay overnight at places as long as I can commute to and from my own office as well as drop by my house to see my cats too. My house are currently has one to two dedicated rooms just for pets that includes cat trees, extra litter boxes and places to play, as well as toys. This allows an easy transition if they need to be separated from my own animals or they need some time to decompress.
“Olivia was great! During our meet and great she was open about the time frame she was available so we made a slight adjustment for Sunday which was easy enough but if we hadn’t known in advance it would have been a stressor! I loved the updates she gave us and the pics were soooo reassuring! Gunner was 100% himself when we got home and the next morning which is a true blessing. We will definitely be using Olivia for now on!”
About: I have took care of animals since I was young I have been around animals even longer. I have always loved them. I promise you can trust me I am currently working part-time and also I am a Full time student .Some weeks my schedule is a little all over the place but, Tuesdays and Thursdays are the best days for me! I prefer taking care of your pet at your home but , I do have a fence yard and friendly animals of my own. I am fine with playing fetch and walking them around your or my neighborhood
About: First off, all money I make on boarding your family pets, go to my medical mission account, you help me raise money which goes toward serving others. I travel all over the world serving other by providing essential needed surgery. This year I am traveling to Gaulamala and Zambia. Thank you for trusting me with your family Pet and helping me serve others in the operating room. I was raised on a ranch, so I’ve been a lover of animals ever since I could remember. Now married to a wonderful man who loves that I love animals, I have all kinds. I have 5 Pygmy goats, 15 laying chickens where I enjoy fresh eggs daily, a very large tortoise that’s around 130 lbs, 3 dogs, and I think that’s it, don’t think I’m forgetting anyone. Being around all kinds of animals makes me happy. They are safe and cared for, and bring joy to my life every day. The difference between me and a lot of caregivers, is not the love of animals, because let’s face it, they wouldn’t be watching pets if they didn’t, but the property that I live on. I work 2 days a week outside of the home, I’m a surgical First Assistant in the OR, a passion for helping others. I also feel giving back is essential, so traveling on medical missions is rewarding. And the rest of the days are spend at home, taking care of our farm (zoo). We have 2 acres, and the entire property is fenced with electric gate. Plus additional fenced areas inside perimeter gate. All our animals have their own areas. Every pet is spoiled and cared for better then the humans who live here. I work outside the Home on Tuesdays and Thursday from 5:30am-12:00pm. I am a self-employed contact worker that makes my own schedule, so my schedule is very flexible. During most major holidays, I take off because there's so many people traveling, and such a high demand of quality pet care, its hard for people to find good help for their precious family members. Every animals no matter of size, or type, is treated like a family member of my own. I love all animals, and this is the very reason I do this. It is hard to find someone you trust to leave one of your own family members with, and I take that care and responsibility very seriously. During the holidays in November and December, I don't schedule myself away from home. So I’m here for your loved pet everyday all day long. our property is completely fenced, with electric gate that stays closed at all times. I also do not inter-mingle dogs until I know their personality and feel comfortable with them paying with other dogs. If they are here for a short time, then I may not get to know them well enough, and they will only play outside with me alone, or any family pets they come with.

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.
Tip: 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!
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.
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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
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.
