“Jessica is amazing! She is so trust worthy and caring with Pluto. She always goes the extra mile as well as helps train and teach both myself and our dog. I can’t speak enough praises for our experience with Jessica as a dog walker and trainer!”


About: I am an experienced house sitter, and I love helping animals feel safe and comfortable! I have a lot of energy to give to pets that need it. I work four days a week, and then have three day weekends. On the days that I work, I will spend all of the other time with the dogs I'm taking care of, and on days where I don't work, I might be out of the house for short appointments, but most of my time is spent at home. I am very detail-oriented, so I will make sure I follow instructions and schedules accurately. I respect the privacy of homeowners, and will gladly communicate with the client as much as desired.
About: Hi, I am Mailyn! I am a 25 year old girl, living her best life. I am a mom to 2 boys cats, Cheeto and Milo! However, my experience is not limited to cats only. I grew up with dogs, birds, fish, rabbits, and more! I am many useful skills when it comes to taking care of a pet and always know what to do because I am no stranger to medical emergencies/concerns, safety protocols, and unexpected moments of stress. I would love and be honored to care your pets! I am available evenings and weekends! This is expected to change soon! I am between transitions with my job right no. I will change my schedule once I have a concrete plan. I do not offer onboarding. However, at a guest home I take care of their pets with guidance from the pet parent and the pet’s need. I make sure safety is a top priority and that there is communication with the pet’s parents. We all consider our pets as family, every pet parent deserves the reassurance and peace of mind that their loved pet is safe.
“Sarah has been a staple in our house for almost a year now! She’s so great with Milo and he loves his walks with her. She is so responsive to every message and always sends cute pictures at the end of every visit :). Couldn’t recommend her enough.”

About: I grew up with dogs and cats, have fostered in the past, and continue to care for my friend’s pets while they are away. I am open to house-sit, drop in, or go on however long of a walk your best friend needs. I have a lot of experience taking care of pets in their own homes, making sure they are safe and comfortable. I have experience with different breeds and temperaments - cuddlers, partiers, grouches, and loungers all deserve love! I can’t wait to spend time with your best friend and give you peace of mind. I work full time, but work from home Mondays and Fridays. Currently I could do drop-ins and walks anytime Fridays through Mondays. For Tuesday through Thursday, I would only be available early morning and evening. I’m available any day for house sitting stays which includes overnight care in your home with evening and morning routines. We can discuss if midday drop-in or walk are needed on the days i’m in the office. Drop-ins include feeding, water refresh, play/potty time, and quick updates. Walks include a 30-minute walk at your dog’s usual pace, leash handling, water refill if needed, and notes to the owner. If your dog needs longer than 30 minutes, Incan also do a longer walk for an hour. I make a point to ensure pets are following their schedules and any training they are working on. I always make sure to double check any needs/wants with the owner, to make sure pets are at their most comfortable. Let me know how your pet thrives in their environment, the more details the better! I will keep you updated on anything you specifically ask, or of any questions I might have that will help me get to know your pet better.
“Vanessa was wonderful to work with! She was easy to communicate with and incredibly accommodating, especially with my last-minute request. We had to make a few adjustments due to the weather, but communication was seamless and she was very flexible throughout the process. I really appreciated how easy she made everything, and I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and responsive sitter/walker. Thanks again, Vanessa! 🐾😊”

About: I grew up in a chaotic, animal-packed house. Taking care of and learning about the animals I’ve encountered has been a huge driving force for me, for my entire life. My first ever paycheck was as a petsitter, and I’m still enjoying every day that I get to interact with all the precious pets of my community! 🐿️🌲🐿️ My primary availability will be day visits or one-night overnight sitting. 🐾🐈🐾 I will always want to ask lots of questions about your pet’s temperament, routine, training, and all their other quirks. I want to know how I can provide the best care possible for YOUR unique baby. 🦋🌸🦋 I’m able to administer oral and topical medications, and I have lots of experience with elderly and disabled dogs. I am comfortable with pets of all kinds, but I do have a soft spot for big dogs especially! ❤️ I have the most experience with cats and dogs, but I’ve also taken care of reptiles, rodents, birds, and more! I am a busy mom to my own dog, who is pretty needy, so it’s hard for me to accept multiple night overnight stays. I am much more likely to accept day visits (even if it’s a few times/day) and single night overnight visits. I respect every living breathing thing around me. I adore animals of all kinds and I care about their safety! I know how nerve-wracking entrusting your pet’s safety into someone’s hands can be, I have lots of pets of my own and I would take a bullet for them! Every animal deserves to be loved to the fullest. I make sure to provide frequent updates and photos of your pet, so you can feel confident that they are happy and in the best care possible.
About: Hi!! My name is Alyssa, and I’m a dedicated and compassionate pet sitter in the Kansas City area! I have experience working with animals of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, from energetic puppies to senior pets who need a little extra patience and care. I’m very attentive to routines, feeding schedules, and any specific needs your pet may have. I also have hands-on experience caring for my diabetic cat, including administering insulin injections and monitoring routines. Because of this, I’m comfortable supporting pets with medical needs and understand the importance of consistency, timing, and gentle handling. Outside of pet sitting, I work in the counseling field supporting children and families, which has strengthened my patience, responsibility, and ability to stay calm in all situations, these skills I bring into caring for your pets as well. My goal is to make sure your pet feels comfortable, loved, and secure while you’re away and to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. I am getting my master’s, so I have some evening classes, but I am still able to provide consistent, attentive care throughout the day. I’m available for drop-ins, walks, and house sitting during weekdays and weekends. Because of my schedule, I’m able to prioritize your pet’s routine, including feeding times, walks, play, and any medical needs like medications or insulin injections. I do my best to be reliable, on-time, and responsive to messages. I prioritize safety, structure, and a calm environment for every pet I care for. I follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, medications, and any specific instructions you provide. I have experience administering medications, including insulin injections, and understand the importance of consistency and careful monitoring. In your home, I am respectful of your space and ensure your pet feels comfortable and secure. I pay close attention to behavior and body language, especially for anxious or shy pets, and adjust my approach to meet their needs. My goal is to create a safe, low-stress environment where your pet feels cared for and you feel confident they’re in good hands.
“Emily went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable since we are new to having a dog walker. Emily’s updates and pictures were fantastic. Cyrus loved her snuggles and pets! He was nice and tired after a 2 mile walk.”


“She was the best! Kept me updated, sent me the best pics and videos and was patient with my excited 3 year old furball. Will definitely recommend to others and book again!”

About: I have cared for my friend’s dogs while they are away many times. I enjoy providing animals with enrichment and making sure they get ample exercise. I am careful around new dogs to let them show me what kind of care they prefer, and strive to make my time with them as enjoyable as possible for both of us. I have full time evening employment. I am available to care for pets Sunday-Thursday 9am to 2pm (meaning my latest available visit would start at 1:30pm for an 30 min visit), and All day Fridays and Saturdays! I have lots of experience with sneaky animals who love eating things they are not supposed to eat or hiding in places they should not be. I am diligent with putting away foodstuffs and making sure doors/ screens are shut. Please let me know if your pet has these behaviors so I can be prepared before the visit.
About: Lifelong Animal Lover with Advanced Care Experience I grew up surrounded by both dogs and cats, and my life has always revolved around animal companionship. I don't just love pets; I understand them deeply. Because I specialize in dog walking and drop-in visits (up to 3 times a day), my focus is entirely on providing structured, safe, and attentive care right in your pet's familiar environment. Expert Medical & Senior Pet Care I have extensive, hands-on experience managing complex care for pets of all life stages, including disabled senior animals. If your pet has specialized needs, they are in highly capable hands. I am fully confident and experienced with: Administering oral medications, pill hiding, and precise schedules. Managing advanced medical treatments, including injectables and subcutaneous (Sub-Q) fluids. Assisting pets with mobility aids, harnesses, and specialized diets. Managing senior pet hygiene, including diaper changes and cleanup. Understanding Behavioral Quirks & Big Personalities As a proud owner of two large bully breeds—one who manages severe anxiety and reactivity, and another a rescue recovering from past neglect—I understand that not every dog is a textbook "easy" walker. I am trained in patience, hyper-vigilant environmental awareness, and reading subtle animal body language to keep your reactive, fearful, or strong pup safe on walks. My home is also run by three incredible cats ranging from 3 to 10 years old (including an aloof kitty, a social butterfly, and a sweet disabled cat requiring extra patience). Having previously rehabilitated a rescue cat who became disabled with age, I know exactly how to respect a feline's boundaries while ensuring their needs are met. Whether your cat wants a high-energy play session, gentle grooming, or just a quiet human presence to keep them company, I adapt entirely to their mood. Because I work from home full-time, my schedule is highly flexible and reliable. I am available throughout the day to accommodate your pet's specific routine, offering dog walking and drop-in visits anywhere from 1 to 3 times a day. Here is how my lifestyle benefits you and your pet: Punctual & Consistent Timing: Since I am not tied to a rigid office commute, I can visit your pet at their preferred times for meals, medication, or potty breaks. Mid-Day Break Specialists: I am readily available for lunch-time walks to break up the day for high-energy dogs, puppies, or senior pets who cannot hold it for long. Rapid Emergency Response: Working locally from home means I am never far away. If your pet has a sudden change in schedule or an urgent need, I can adapt quickly. Your peace of mind is my top priority. I treat every animal with the same meticulous care, patience, and fierce love that I give to my own unique fur family. Here is what I bring to every walk or drop-in visit: Frequent Photo & Video Updates: My camera roll is already completely full of my own pets. You can expect detailed, visual updates during every single visit so you know your pet is thriving. Proactive Dog Safety: I bring hyper-vigilant environmental awareness, patience, and deep knowledge of subtle animal body language to every walk. This ensures your reactive, fearful, or strong pup stays completely safe. Customized Cat Care: I know exactly how to respect a feline's boundaries while ensuring their needs are met. Whether your cat wants a high-energy play session, gentle grooming, or just a quiet human presence, I adapt entirely to their mood.

I grew up with a dachshund, Great Danes and mastiffs, and have spent years caring for them as well as having foster experience through the humane society. I also have a cat! I'm a remote worker who typically works nights and weekends. The nature of my job allows me to have the flexibility to move around with your dogs during the day, and throughout the shift! I am unable to house your pets at my own home, however, I am more than happy to take care of not only your pets like they’re my own, but also your home. I’m very particular about how I leave the house after my visits, and your pets safety is always a top priority to me.

About: I’ve spent 7+ years caring for pets of all kinds, taking the time to learn each one’s routine, quirks, and comfort level so they feel safe and relaxed while you’re away. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to help with puppies, seniors, and pets who need a little extra care. I work a full-time job from 10–5 on weekdays, so I schedule pet care around my work hours. I’m available early mornings, evenings, and weekends for walks, playtime, or visits. When I’m with pets, I give them my full attention and make sure they’re happy, comfortable, and well-cared-for, even with my regular work schedule. I provide attentive, patient care whether I’m at your home or mine. In your home, I follow your pet’s routine closely—feeding, playtime, walks, litter box care, and any special instructions—to keep them comfortable and stress-free. If pets are in my home, I make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and part of the family, giving plenty of attention, cuddles, and play. I always prioritize their happiness, health, and comfort.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Kansas City on Rover is $13.91 per walk (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 2,488 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Kansas City. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Kansas City. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Kansas City.
Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s walk begins.
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 walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Kansas City. On Rover:
- 93% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
