“It was great to be able to take a vacation and not worry about our beloved furball kitty. Tiffany was able to get a very timid Bella to let her pet and play with her, which is unusual. Tiffany also did a few other jobs for me which was so appreciated. I will definitely book her again for our next adventure...thanks Tiffany!!”
“Katie did a fantastic job and was able to meet and interact with our most skittish cat within her first visit! Will definitely be rebooking when the time comes for our next weekend away!”
About: I have loved dogs since I was a child. As a pre-teen, I used to go to my neighbors' homes to take their dogs for walks. Then, in 1993, my parents finally gave me my first dog—a black English Cocker Spaniel. I haven't been without dogs since. The first one was stolen when he was a year old. The second, another black Cocker, lived for 14 years. During that time, I also had a Yorkshire Terrier who lived to be 17. Currently, I have a 12-year-old female Papillon who came with me from Brazil a little over two years ago. I am Brazilian and qualified as a veterinarian in 2003. I spent six years working in a clinic treating dogs before switching to a different area of veterinary practice for personal reasons. Since moving to the US, I have been a full-time mom, as my youngest daughter is not yet school-age. I believe a meet-and-greet is beneficial for both parties; it’s a time for pets and their owners to get to know me better, and for me to get to know the pet (I like to fill out a form during this time to record details about them). I understand that just like us, dogs need regular walks to stay happy, healthy and mentally stimulated. If life gets busy and you're unable to take your pup out as often as you'd like, I'd be happy to help. I also offer loving in-home care for pets who prefer to stay cozy and comfortable in their own home while you're away. Services offered: dog walker, boarding, drop-in visits and doggy day care. I offer other pet services upon request. I am currently a full-time mother and homemaker, so I do not have a job that keeps me away from home for long stretches at a time. I have a friendly 12-year-old female dog, but she doesn't know how to play with other dogs; she’s a companion for quiet moments rather than playtime. I have three children—aged 4, 6, and 9—who adore dogs and love playing with them. I live in a house without a fenced yard. The raised deck has a gate and is a spot where my dog likes to hang out and watch the activity. I’ve installed a 34-inch removable fence in a small area where a dog can be left without constant supervision (provided they aren't a climber or a jumper).
“Jacqueline is outstanding! She took great care of our furbabies while we were out of town. She gave medication as prescribed and sent us pictures along with a report card every visit. Thank you so much, Jacqueline!!”
“Saige is awesome! She goes above and beyond to care for my pup and to communicate concerns. Great peace of mind when traveling knowing my pup is receiving high quality care. Thanks!”
About: I’ve taken care of/had pets since I was kid. I currently have a Husky, pomsky and a cat, they are my world ❤️ I will always have fur babies! I am a stay at home mom to 1 and I also dogsit as well as babysit throughout the week. I’m always open to adding more fur friends :) I will love and care for your babies just like they are my own! My Husky and Pomsky will always be up for new friends and all the play time ☺️
“Jacki is outstanding! She is a keen observer and from her notes we could tell that she took time to know and understand our dog, Aspen. Highly recommend Jacki as your next pet sitter!”
About: I’ve had dogs and horses all my life! I also have experience in fostering and help a local dog rescue here in the KC metro area with their social media. All four of our current dogs are all rescues. I work from home and have the flexibility to meet the various needs of your pet(s). I’m happy to pack up my laptop and spend time at your house with your pet(s) to limit the amount of time they are alone. I am experienced with a variety of dog breeds, ages, sizes, and medication needs. Currently we have a 10 yr old Bully mix (female), a 5 yr old Bully Chi mix (female), and two 3 1/2 Am Bully / Red Heeler (males - brothers). We also have a 17 yr old Paint horse. Working with animals is a passion of mine!
“Mya was fantastic. She stepped in at the drop of a hat to help us out after our previous sitter had gone MIA while we were out of town. Her communication was FANTASTIC - she was prompt, attentive, left detailed notes of her visits and sent so many photos! We were so grateful to her for not only her great care of our two pups, but also the level of responsiveness and care that we received from her. If we ever go out of town again, I will certainly contact Mya and would recommend her to anyone!!”
About: While I don't have formal experience, I've spent my whole life taking care of pets at home. I've even raised our current pups from puppies to adulthood, handling everything from feeding to playtime. My goal is to treat every pet like part of the family. I'm currently a college student down in Springfield, but whenever I'm back in town for breaks or summer, I will have a fairly flexible schedule! I'm available on the weekends, evenings, and soon to be during the weekdays as well! Every pet deserves the family treatment! I'm careful to follow their set routines and rules - whether it's playtime, feeding, or crate time. Your pet's safety always comes first!
About: I have hands on pet care experience from working in doggy daycare & being a dog mom myself! I'm comfortable caring for dogs of all ages, including puppy care, basic training & those who need a little extra help getting around these days. I'm also comfortable administering medications as directed, but I don't currently administer insulin. While house sitting, I'm happy to help with light housekeeping, tidying up, and little extras like bringing in mail or watering plants at a small extra charge. My goal is to keep your pets happy, safe, and loved while keeping your home tidy! I work Monday - Friday until 4:30pm, so I'm generally available for pet care in the evenings and on weekends. I'm happy to coordinate with pet parents to find a schedule that works best for their pets' needs. I'm also open to house sitting and being flexible to the pets' schedule while I'm in home as well! Your pets safety, comfort, and happiness are always my priorities! I follow your care instructions, maintain your pet's normal routine, and keep doors, gates, and outdoor areas secure. I'll send regular updates and pictures so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I also have a 1 yr old Bernese Mtn Dog who may be able to keep your pup company with your permission and only if it's a good fit for both dogs. I treat your home with respect and strive to make your pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable!
“Lily was amazing with our cat in our home, who is not the friendliest cat in the world. Lily was very dependable, has amazing animal skills, sent great updates each day, and went above and beyond when we had issues with our travel plans. I would not hesitate to use Lily in the future and highly recommend her!”
“Haley was absolutely amazing! She took such great care of our animals while we were away and was very responsive and extremely helpful. Titus and Turbo were both very well cared for and it gave us great comfort and peace of mind knowing that they were in good hands :)”
“Ashley was amazing! We were honestly a little hesitant to let someone new around the boys as they are a tad territorial and a little apprehensive, but she was great with them. Our older one accepted her instantly and our little one was so happy to have a playmate for a bit during the day. She gave us updates the entire way to make sure we were okay. We couldn’t recommend her enough!”
“Kyle is great! He was very communicative, sent updates, and took great care of our cat. She seems to like him, which gave us peace of mind. We’d definitely book with him again!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Grain Valley is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $28 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 2,413 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Grain Valley. 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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Grain Valley. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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.
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.
