Top rated Indipendence Plaza pet sitters

“Taryn was fantastic with our two dogs! Very appreciative she was available last minute to care for them! Will be reaching out to her for future needs!!!”


“We expected an experienced pet caretaker like Ruslan to bring a high level of professionalism. He handled out grumpy old cat's needs and provided timely communications.”


“Gabriella is absolutely awesome. With every stay or drop in visit she sends pics and lets us know if how our fur kids are doing. One of ours has a seizure disorder and Gabriella keeps us informed on her state. Great sitter! Very communicative!!”


“I had my first experience using Rover, and I'm so glad Taylor was the sitter for our fur babies! She was incredibly helpful, advising me on how to use the platform effectively, and made sure to get all the details about their care. Taylor also helped me think through different scenarios, including what to do in case of any delays on our return. I felt confident leaving my pets in her care, and I would absolutely recommend her!”


“Jessica is very nice and knowledgeable about dog behavior so I knew my boys were in good hands. It's freezing cold at home, but I knew I could still rely on her. The pictures at every visit kept my mind at ease. This was my first experience with Rover and Jessica was outstanding! So glad they got to stay home rather than some dumb kennel.”


“Vanessa was awesome! We only booked a drop in, but she helped us out a lot when we needed our girls to be taken potty while we were out of town for the day. Thank you again! We’ll definitely rebook in the future.”


“Amanda was great with my two cats—she spent a lot of time keeping them active with their favorite laser toy and shared lots of great photos and updates while I was away. I’ll be booking her again soon and highly recommend to others!”


“Claudia was wonderful! She kept me posted daily with pictures of my cat. She went the extra mile and swept the floors where Mickey kicked his litter around, which he loves to do. Thanks for taking good care of my kitty! He was happy as a clam when I returned.”


“Taylor was a great communicator, flexible with her schedule, and patient with my shy pup! She also sent updates and pictures of my dog which was great to see! Couldn’t recommend her more for anyone needing a rover”


“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!”


“Rachel always does a great job of taking care of Tune. She is quick to respond, flexible with meet-ups when needed, and on time! Would recommend to a friend and will plan to rebook. Thanks, Rachel!”


“Samantha was wonderful with my cats! She sent great photos and gave detailed updates. She truly made me feel like she cared deeply about my cats’ wellbeing while I was away and made me less worried about being away!”


About: I am a responsible and reliable person who loves animals, has had five dogs of her own, and wants to help others keep their pets happy and healthy. I’m currently working a shifted schedule. Saturday I am off most of the day. Sunday and Monday I am off the whole day. This is great for people with busy weekend schedules or long work days who need some extra help. I am also an early riser everyday, so I can let you run out of the door without worry or you can just sleep in and know your pet is covered. I ensure all doors are closed and locked when visiting your pup. If we’re leaving for a walk, my attention is fully on the safety of the dog. No matter what, I preemptively cross the street if another person or dog is approaching so we have a fun and safe walk.

“Overall did a decent job. Made sure our cats had food and water and that the litter box was cleaned up. I would have liked more photos and more feedback each day. I appreciated the times that the broom and dustpan pan was used to sweep up extra litter, but maybe put it back in the closet next time instead of across the kitchen counter and stove since that’s where food is prepared. Also, appears that the dust pan chipped somehow and I found the piece over by the tv stand and it came to a sharp point. I don’t care that the dust pan chipped or how it even happened, it’s plastic, but I wouldn’t have wanted my cats to get a hold of that and something accidentally happen.”


“This is the third time I have used Derek's cat sitting service, and the interaction and drop-in visits were at the same high caliber as the first two. Derek is friendly, professional, prompt in communication and appointments, trustworthy, and has easily bonded with my cat. Arbus and I were glad you were available again!”


About: I grew up with dogs and small animals, and I’ve cared for pets at every stage of life, including comforting a big dog scared of storms and giving medications to cranky senior animals. I have two cats and a 9-yr-old chinchilla with big personalities. I know pets are our family members, and I look forward to caring for yours! Available for drop-ins and walks in the evenings and weekends. I live in River Market and work in midtown, so I can be available for some morning or lunchtime needs in those areas. I can house-sit nearby, too. Im very respectful and love detailed instructions. I’ve owned feisty, picky pets, so I’m happy to do whatever your animals need! I know it can be stressful having someone else come into your home and care for your pets, so I’ll take every measure to make sure you and your animals are comfortable

About: I have been walking, pet-setting, and playing with/ for family’s with dogs for years! I love taking them on walks to local parks as well! I have 5+ years of experience of house-sitting and walking dogs. I am currently available anytime! I am in sales and have a hybrid schedule and want to make this a fun vacation for your pets. I love taking dogs to the farmers markets, parks, riverfront, etc. I want to make sure they are having the best time possible during their stay.

About: I've been a lover of puppers and kitters since a very young age. I have never met an animal I didn't love, and would love to look after your baby 😍 I am currently in between jobs so I have plenty of availability to look after your pet! I look forward to hearing from you soon. I have a fenced in back yard and if your dog gets along with ours they will have tons of fun! Your pets safety and well being is priority number 1.

Rafaela B.
“Rafaela took wonderful care of my dogs while I was out of town. She was responsible, friendly, respectful, and really connected with my pets. They hardly noticed I was gone, and honestly, I think they would've preferred I not return so they could spend more time with her! I recommend her to everyone I know.”


Carson C.
“If you are looking for a caring, compassionate person to come visit with or walk your dogs, you couldn't do better than Carson! You know how dogs just have that "sense" about who will be good to them? Well, they definitely know Carson is in that group. They react with joy when he comes to visit. I'm a Rover host, myself, but when we're away I feel 100% comfortable letting him stay in my home. He's such a reliable guy that I know he'll keep me up to date with how things are going and send me pictures so I'm more at peace being away from my pups. I'm sure you'll feel the same way!”
