“We had a great experience! She was able to help us out last minute, and we couldn’t be more thankful. She took wonderful care of our dogs and even helped with our cows while we were away. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing all of our animals were in good hands. She was reliable, easy to communicate with, and made the whole process stress-free. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter and will definitely be using her again!”
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.
About: I have taken care of 2 dogs in my life. I know the basic’s, example , feeding, walking, and bathing. Wanting to spend my time to help all dog owners find someone they can trust while they are away. I’m working Full time currently but have time mostly in the evenings throughout the whole week. Giving time for your dog and providing love till you are ready to pick them up or drop off I have a fenced yard with neighbors fence near mine. They do have pets as well,Husky's, they are vocal and jumpy but I mostly supervise outside in case anything may happen. My home is near a dog park where they can have more space to roam and get all there energy out.
“We were so happy to have Erika come stay with our dog! She was professional, easy to work with, and clearly loves taking care of dogs. She sent frequent photos and updates, and was quick to respond to our texts. And her flexible schedule meant our dog didn’t need to be left for any long stretches. We look forward to having Erika come back again!”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and have over 5 years of experience caring for them. I’m confident with all breeds, sizes, and energy levels. Whether your pup needs walks, playtime, or just a cuddle buddy while you’re away, I’ll treat them like family. I’m also comfortable with feeding routines, crate training, and keeping them safe, happy, and loved at all times. I’m a local property manager, just minutes from home, so I can drop in during lunch breaks, after work, and on weekends. I take my own dog to the park every evening for about two hours so he can play and socialize—your pup can join the fun if you’d like! I’m fully available after noon on Fridays and completely free on weekends for boarding, walks, or drop-ins. I treat every dog like family and make sure they feel safe, loved, and entertained. I care for every dog as if they’re my own. While I don’t have a fenced yard, I always take dogs out on leash for potty breaks and walks. Inside my home, pets have a safe, clean, and calm space to relax and feel comfortable. I do have one puppy of my own—he’s super loving and playful, and I always make sure visiting dogs are comfortable and properly introduced. When caring for dogs in their own home, I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding routines, crate preferences, and walk schedules. I also send regular updates and photos so you always know how your dog is doing. Safety, trust, and comfort are always my top priorities.
“Stephanie did an excellent job of taking care of my cat while I went on vacation. She sent updates and pictures to me while I was gone. She completely won over my cat. I highly recommend Stephanie and will definitely book her again for my next trip.”
“Sloane was very communicative which allowed me to relax more and enjoy my time away. She’s was also very attentive to my dog’s needs. It doesn’t get better than that! So thankful to have met her!”
“Nico will always be my go-to when it comes to taking care of my senior doggie, Pen Pen. She’s always so caring and kind to my older gal. She knows how to read animals and Pen always feels really safe with her.”
About: I have nine years of professional dog sitting care experience. But I have been dog sitting family and friends dogs for much longer. Through the years I have cared for dogs of all ages. I began my dog sitting career caring for two elderly pups with anxiety and trauma backgrounds, so medication and diapers were a regular part of their care. Since then I have cared for high energy puppies, middle age pups with health concerns, and young at heart elderly dogs with regular medication. I have another career that allows me to work from home so I can stay with your sweet dog throughout the day. I also do doggy daycare in your home, spending quality time with your dog if you are needing to be gone long hours. Unfortunately I do not care for cats, dogs with aggressive tendencies, or dog-sit in my own home. Also I do not take dogs to dog parks unless there is a long built relationship and trust. I require a meet and greet at the home before time of service to make sure that everyone/dog feels safe and comfortable. I have another career allowing me to work from home, so I am available most times of the day. I also provide pet care on the weekends and some holidays. I do not provide pet care in my home. So while dog sitting in your home I provide the same care you would provide if you were home with your fur family member. One of the things I appreciate about dog sitting, is it allows dogs to stay in their own safe environment and routine, keeping them healthy and happy. For doggy daycare, I provide time of play, walks if needed, and hopefully lots of snuggles.
“Meagan is the best- I am SO lucky we found her to watch our dogs while on vacation. She did such a great job taking care of our high energy dogs and they loved her. It was a relief to know they were in her hands! Meagan is responsible, clean, communicative, and so so kind!!!! 10000/10 will book with her again.”
“I've used Makiah a couple of times, and she has always been wonderful! She's dependable and my dogs adore her!! She even took care of my chickens while I was gone! She really goes the extra mile. I never worry about my fur babies when Makiah is taking care of them. I highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was about 10, and have loved it ever since! I frequent KC Pet Project because I’m not able to have a pet of my own yet, so being able to walk and care of your pet makes my day! I do not have any specific training skills, but have a lot of availability in order to help you out! I’m am a full time student and also serving at Brooksider, but taking care of pets in my free time helps me stay motivated! I don’t have many in person classes so I can be available at random spots during the day! I have fostered before, and I love giving my animals as much attention as I can. Especially if I am caring for someone else’s pet, that animal will be my first priority.
“Kyle was fantastic with our two larger dogs and our aloof cat! He was super responsive and kept us in the loop on the happenings around our house while he house/petsat the weekend. Would definitely rebook him again!”
About: I have always loved dogs and grew up with my own and truly enjoy taking care of them. I'm dependable, attentive, and experienced with petsitting, I will treat your animals like family. I work full time, but have a flexible enough schedule to care for your pets. I am very willing to negotiate a flexible schedule to meet you and your pets needs. I am free in the evenings and weekends! I would prefer staying at my clients home. I have found that this is easier for the pet to be comfortable in their own home and space.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 948 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Harrisonville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Harrisonville 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 Harrisonville 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 Harrisonville 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
