“Erin checks on my dogs during the week while I’m at work and has spent the weekend at my house while I was out of town. I trust her completely with my dogs and my home. She’s easy to communicate and work with.”
“Maryn did a great job watching our kitties. She stuck to our routine with their feeding schedules and left our home exactly as we left it. She even went above and beyond with leaving food and water out for the neighborhood cats who were not included in the booking but who my husband and I look after. We will definitely be booking with Maryn again!”

“Regan was amazing! He communicated well, and took amazing care of our two, wild huskies on Christmas!!! This was our first Rover experience and we look forward to using him in the future!”
“Lori took great care of my young puppy and was very conscientious in taking instructions. The pup clearly was a big fan of Lori's from the get-go. Highly recommend and I will certainly be using her for dog care in the future!”
“Lauren is amazing! She communicated regularly and sent pictures to us throughout our vacation. Our dog was well cared for and happy when we got home. We will absolutely book with Lauren again and recommend her to our friends!”
“Angela was amazing! She took great care of our dog, three cats and chickens. We are always nervous to leave our little family behind when we travel, but Angela was very responsive and we knew they were safe and in good hands. We'll be going to Angela for help whenever we can. We cannot recommend her enough!”
“Jenna was so fabulous. This was my first time using rover and she really helped ease my anxiety with leaving my fur babies in her hands. She sent so many pictures and took through notes of my pets routine and daily needs, which was very much appreciated.”
“Jennifer’s pet and house sitting service was great. She communicated very well, both before and during her stay. She provided both photos and updates each day. Would definitely book her again.”
“Alicia was SO sweet to both us and our animals! She administered insulin to our cat, ran with our dog to get his energy out, and kept our house in pristine condition. We were anxious to leave our fur babies and Alicia was communicative our entire time away. We can’t wait to use her again!”
About: I have raised dogs and cats through out my life, I currently have a rescue Shih Tzu named Gizmo who is nine years old and is great with other dogs. I worked at an animal shelter for a few years and also at a dog training and boarding kennel so I have experience with all breeds and temperaments as well as years of professional dog walking and pet sitting. I’m getting ready to go to school for dog grooming to add to my pet care skills and would love to take care of your pets to help make money for school! I will give your fur babies the love, care and attention they deserve. I also have experience administering medications including pills and insulin shots. I work short days outside my home starting early in the morning, but my partner works from home so your dog wouldn’t be left alone if you board with me! I’m available for in home visits or walks as well. We have a rescue Shih Tzu who is 9 years old and loves the company of other dogs, she’s not big on playing but she’s all about the snuggles and naps. I cater my care to each individual dog and am happy to discuss your pets needs. If you board with me your dog will get frequent walks and as much exercise as you request, we live in an apartment so I would be taking them out on a leash to walk around the neighborhood; we also have a fenced area specifically for letting dogs run around and play if that’s what you prefer. I am happy to crate them if you’d like or let them sleep in one of my dogs many beds, she sleeps in bed with us so she won’t mind! If I’m coming to your house I can follow any instructions you have for walking/ feeding/ administering medication I’ve done many walks and home visits for pet owners over the years, and my experience in animal shelters and dog training facilities had given me a lot of knowledge about dog behavior and needs.
“Sharon was amazing and I will 100% look to book with her again. I had planned to have her watch my dog from a Friday through Tuesday while on a vacation, but a family emergency ended my trip while I was traveling. Sharon was great to work with during this time, insisting that we modify the reservation to account for the shorter booking, all while sending pictures and videos of my dog—which my family and I really needed to see during an emotionally draining time. Otherwise, she just completely handled taking care of Teddy while I was gone, and I didn’t have to worry about a thing.”
“Thomas was amazing with our animals. So loving and kind, they were happy and healthy when we returned. He also took immaculate care of our apartment, it was clean and tidy when we returned!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Kansas City
Alyssa did a great job checking on Sully while I was away! She sent me pictures and updates, was super flexible when I accidentally gave her the wrong address, and was always easy to get ahold of. I really appreciated how dependable and communicative she was. Sully was well taken care of, and I would definitely have Alyssa watch him again!
We could not have asked for a better first experience using Rover than with Mya! From start to finish, she made leaving our boy so stress-free. She took the absolute best care of him, treating him like her own and sending the cutest picture updates that completely brightened our days while we were away. Beyond being fantastic with him, Mya took wonderful care of our home, leaving everything so tidy and well kept. It was such a relief to come back to the happiest pup and total peace of mind. We are so grateful to have found Mya and will definitely be booking with her again—we couldn't recommend her more highly!
Lauren was a fantastic sitter! Communication was great whether it was asking questions or letting me know how my critters were doing. I could tell Rags (Brussels) and Clyde (Jardine) were well taken care of the week I was gone. Would highly recommend Lauren for pet care and will be using her again in the future.
Regan was awesome. We were so relieved to have him on the job, and able to relax about both our pets and our home and posessions. He is perfect, and we will try to use him again, if he’s still doing this (he has a pretty glowing future ahead of him in the medical field), by the time we need a sitter again.
I was so lucky to find Brenna!! She completed an in home sit for my two dogs and left them happy and the house spotless. She was a great communicator throughout, sending photos and regular updates. Nothing was better than coming home to fresh sheets, and she even left me a delicious homemade casserole for my first day back, which was such a lifesaver so I didn’t have to prioritize grocery shopping and food prep. Thank you so much, Brenna!!
100000% would rebook! Sally was amazing, incredible, perfect!! I would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter. She stays with my dogs for 4 nights and my dogs were soo happy! She sent lots of photos and both my dogs were smiling and relaxing in each photo! Sally also left my house spotless and went above and beyond with cleaning!

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 Kansas City 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 Kansas City 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 Kansas City 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 Rover Guarantee , 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
