About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was about 10 years old. I am very good with following schedules, walks, food times, going out, administering meds, giving pets and hugs, etc. I have fostered dogs, owned and raised dogs, and love working with dogs of all ages and groups. I have extensive experience in working with senior dogs who may need a little extra time and attention. I’d be happy to take care of your pet while you’re away and you can be reassured he/she is in caring hands. Daily walks and dog parks? Not a problem! I work from home; so, while you’re away, I can be available in attending to your pet’s activities. I have a senior dog who is very dog friendly. We live in an apartment downtown and go on several leashed walks throughout the day and night.
About: I’ve had dogs, cats, and even chickens in my life for as long as I can remember. I’m also the go-to dog sitter for my sister’s two dogs, so I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets. I offer walks, drop-in visits, and dog sitting, always with plenty of attention and care. I currently work from home three days a week and in office two. The days in office vary per week. On the three days I work from home I’m available for walks throughout the day. I also can be available for boarding on most weekends. I'm able to stop by for a drop in visit, give your dog(s) a potty break and some loving interaction. I currently do not have pets of my own and live in a studio apartment in the River Market, surrounded by green space and a dog-friendly community.
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have experience caring for both small and large dogs, as well as cats. I’ve also worked with many animals through volunteer work and grew up spending time around animals on farms. Whether it’s walking, feeding, bathing, playing, or simply spending quality time together, I approach every animal with patience, care, and respect. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I’m happy to adjust my care to help them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. As a college student, I have a flexible schedule that gives me plenty of availability for pet care throughout the week. I’m available for weekday and weekend visits and can often accommodate mornings, afternoons, and evenings depending on the day. I genuinely love being around animals, so pet care is something I enjoy fitting into my everyday routine. I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities, routines, and needs. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully and prioritize each pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness. I’m respectful of your home and your pet’s normal routine, and I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for.

About: I have grown up having various pets, but mostly dogs my entire life. I have a love for all types of dogs and pets in general. I have a dog that I have raised since he was a puppy. I have trained him to do multiple tricks and to obley not only me, but anyone who tells him a command. I have dog sat for many friends and family members when they have been away. I do mot have a lot or Rover experice, but the dogs that i have met through here have made a lasting impression on me and I cannot wait to meet more! I currently have a home with three small dogs that get along great with others. Myvprefrace would be going on walks with dogs after work .
About: As a young child I begged my parents to get a dog. I took the “D” encyclopedia into my room every night to study dog breeds. I spent years consuming every dog book I could get my hands on. I even created a dog walking business, made fliers, and handed them out to all of my neighbors. I finally got a puppy in 1st grade. She was my best friend. She went along with all of my crazy antics as I tried to make her a sled dog, a hunting dog, and even an agility dog. I also had fish, lizards, and a rabbit. I now live in KC with my husband and our baby! We recently lost both of our senior dogs. I wish I could adopt all of the dogs in need! In the meantime, I would love to help take care of yours. I work from home! That means I’ll have plenty of time to spend with your precious dog. I only ask that your dog gets along with babies/kids. I am used to taking care of dogs of all sizes, ages, and energy levels. I’m confident I can take care of yours too.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Kansas City commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in KS ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters 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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 719 sitters in Kansas City, 85% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
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 sitter.
