“So grateful to have found Erin! She was so wonderful with my two dogs over the holidays! She sent me several updates throughout the day & left my home spotless. She has such a warm spirit & loved on my boys so well while I was traveling. I can’t recommend her enough!”


“Lulu was amazing! She gave us daily updates and pics of our animals and took excellent care of them. I felt very good about leaving them in her care. She will 100% be our first choice next time we need pet care!”


“Taryn is wonderful. We will definitely hire her again. She’s very pleasant and great with our pets. They warmed to her immediately. She’s a problem solver (we had a minor plumbing issue which she solved on her own but contacted us). She stays in touch just enough so we know all is well but not so much that we can’t enjoy our time away. She went above and beyond. Excellent pet and house sitter!”


“Thank you, Rachel, for taking such wonderful care of our sweet husky while we were on vacation. Your love and attention meant the world to us, and we could tell our pup was in the best hands. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog, and we couldn’t be more grateful. We highly recommend Rachel to anyone looking for a compassionate and reliable sitter!”


“Went on a weekend getaway and Kami was so great with our girl. We have a newish adopted doggy who is reactive and Kami was so kind and patient with her. We will definitely rebook!”


“Ava stayed with my pup and was fabulous. I received picture updates, great communication, and could tell he was a happy boy and well taken care of. I look forward to their next stay together!! Thank you so much, Ava!!”


“Abby did a great job taking care of our 2cats and 2 dogs. She really went above and beyond. She left the home in excellent condition, and even washed the sheets and towels! She got our mail and packages for us while we were gone and took out our trash for us. Communication was excellent and we received pics of our fur babies during our trip. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience.”


“Bree was awesome! She sent pictures of Abbey while we were away. Came home to a well taken care of home! I would highly recommend Bree! It was our first time leaving our pet and home to someone! But loved it! Abbey was happy and our home was taken care of. Bree was so respectful of our home!”


About: I am a third year veterinary student in KC for the summer at an internship! I have worked as a Veterinary Assistant for 6 years now and have gained experience in handling and working with all breeds and sizes of dogs, as well as cats. I have also been petsitting for family friends for 5 years and have plenty of experience making pets feels comfortable while their owner is away. I am comfortable handling any dog or cat, with anything from giving medications to your senior pup to walks and exercise for the more energetic ones! I’m currently working full-time during the week with some evening hours available. I am also typically available all day during the weekend and on most holidays. As I am currently renting, I am not able to care for pets in my own home. However, I am more than willing to travel and take care of your fur-baby in the comfort of their own home! I have been trained on how to handle all types of animals with care and respect towards them, and would feel comfortable assisting with any training you are working with them on. Most of all, I absolutely love to hang out with any animal and would be honored to care for your fur baby!

“The dogs I know were well taken care of - I got updates twice a day. A friend disengaged the garage door for the mechanism and Ben fixed it for me!!! While he didn’t have to take care of my cat he cleaned out the litter box before I came home. When Neville met Ben , Neville is not a jumper at all, but he immediately climbed in Ben’s lap to be loved on by him. And Ben was awesome and let him! I highly recommend him and will use his services in the future!!”


“Kadyn did a wonderful job watching our two kitties and left our apartment better than she found it. She was an excellent communicator and followed all our instructions exactly. Most importantly, our cats both seemed happy and healthy all in the pictures she sent!”


“Ann was great. We had an initial meeting at my home where I showed her where everything was and explained everything. She took great care of my cat and dog. I will definitely be using her again. I’m so grateful to have met such a thoughtful and and caring person!”



“Robyn was a wonderful sitter for our animals. She gave great updates throughout our vacation and she treated our pets like her own. They looked like they so much fun with Robyn and were definitely spoiled all week. Thank you Robyn!”


“We absolutely LOVE Ellie! My partner and I both work from home, so our Irish Setter is used to having people around 24/7. When we had to travel internationally for a week, we were nervous about leaving our fur baby—but Ellie was the perfect solution. She also works from home, which made her an ideal fit to stay in our house and provide the constant companionship our pup thrives on. From the moment we met her, we felt completely at ease. Ellie is an incredible communicator. She kept us updated with sweet messages, photos, and videos of walks, cuddle time, and play sessions—making it clear our dog was having a blast. Not only did she treat our pup like family, but she also left our home spotless. She even did her own laundry before leaving, which was such a thoughtful touch. It’s clear she goes above and beyond to care for both pets and their homes. Ellie made our dog’s week fun, safe, and full of love. We came home to a happy dog and an immaculate house—what more could we ask for? Thank you, Ellie!”


“Vanessa was very caring and attentive with my pup! Thank you for taking the time to understand my dog’s routines and sending all the updates! Will definitely book again!”


“Shyanne stayed in our home with our dogs while we were out of town. She was incredible to work with. She gave us plenty of updates, communicated clearly, took great care of our babies and went above and beyond! We felt peace of mind our entire trip knowing Shyanne was there with our dogs. We came home to a very happy crew. We will definitely book with her again in the future!”


About: Hi! My name is Lyric, and I’m super eager to start caring for your pets. I have years of experience, from working as a dog walker and sitter, for a company in my home town in Overland Park! I also have my own person experience having grown up with two German Shepherds and a senior teacup Yorkie! My job introduced me to so many different breads and personalities, giving me the knowledge to be able to customize my care around each dog based on their on their specific needs and what’s most beneficial and enjoyable for them! I’m super comfortable with all kinds of dogs—from big and energetic to small and cuddly. I personally trained all three of my dogs to shake and roll over, and I also helped care for my Yorkie during his senior years before he passed. My main goal is to make sure each dog feels loved and appreciated! Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, or just some company while you’re away, I bring patience, love, and genuine care to every visit. I’ll treat your dog like they’re part of my family. I’m currently in nursing school and looking for a flexible job that fits around my classes and study time. Pet care is the perfect fit—not only does it work with my schedule, but spending time with dogs brings me a calming sense of comfort that helps balance the stress of school. I’ve always found that being around animals is healing, and I love how caring for them benefits both of us. Plus, I enjoy staying active, so daily walks and playtime are a bonus I genuinely look forward to. Whether I’m in my home or yours, I always aim to make pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I follow any routines or instructions closely—whether it’s feeding schedules, preferred walking routes, or special care needs. I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and potty breaks, and I keep things clean and calm. I’m respectful of each home I visit and treat it with care, just like I do with your pets.

Ivanhoe Southeast pet parents share their Rover experiences
Kortney is an incredible dogsitter. I always know she'll get our guy out on a walk, take care of the house, and keep us looped in as needed. I feel very good knowing she's taking care of our dog while we are away and completely trust her. Would highly recommend her services. She's the best!

Ashley did a great job house-sitting for my two dachshunds on fairly short notice. She was super sweet, personable, and incredibly thoughtful! There was never a moment where I felt I couldn’t communicate with her and she sent so many wonderful photos. I would highly recommend Ashley and would love to have her watch my pups again!

Kristina was a wonderful sitter for my two dogs at my house. She is obviously super comfortable and happy with dogs, and she was very communicative and easy to get ahold of with any questions. She went above and beyond what I asked of her. Highly recommend Kristina to all other dog owners!!

Do yourself a favor now, cut the stress of travel or being away from your babies and book with Gillian for the best care you’ll ever receive. Gillian did an incredible job caring for my pups, starting from the meet and greet. She asked every possible pertinent question to ensure she was well equipped and prepared for the stay, and during the stay itself she gave phenomenal care. I received regular updates on the care of my dogs (including photos), and notes on how the dogs were doing. She took incredible care of the dogs who have two pretty different personalities (cuddly vs energetic) and ensured both were well cared for and loved the way they needed to be loved. Where Gillian absolutely smashed things was offering to help care for my plants (new plant mom here) and even helping fix one of my plants root rot while I was away. On top of that her partner offered to care for my lawn while I was away and did a better job than I could have ever dreamed of doing. I am always nervous leaving my home and my babies with new people when I travel, especially for travel when I’ll be less reachable or busy, but Gillian took away every ounce of stress I had. I felt confident and assured that my babies, my home, and the whole of my lil family were cared for beyond my best dreams.
