“Samantha was great! She took care of my 2 particular cats very well. She sent adorable photos and kept me up-to-date on their activities, moods, and more. My house looked perfect when I came home. I’ll definitely book again :)”
“Shelby is amazing and went above and beyond for our old kitty! She made extra time to make sure she got her meds even when our cat was putting up a protest and took the time to play and hang with her. She even watered our plants without us asking! Highly recommend and will definitely ask Shelby to sit again!”
“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!”
“Jessica was great! She was very respectful of my home and made sure Spot got the kind of food she wanted. She brings a lot of experience and knowledge when she comes to take care of your pet!”
“Eva was always prompt to check in on my cat in the mornings while I was gone, giving her multiple pills and lots of attention with her favorite toy. I would recommend her to anyone!”
About: As a proud dog mom to a German Shepherd and a Golden Retriever, I know firsthand that every dog has their own personality, quirks, and needs! From energetic walks and endless games of fetch to couch cuddles and belly rubs, I love making sure every pup feels happy, comfortable, and cared for. Having two large dogs of my own has given me plenty of experience managing different energy levels, personalities, and routines. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I promise to treat your pets with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own! I’m also more than happy to send plenty of pictures and updates along the way, because I know how much it means to see your babies happy while you’re away! I work in marketing and have a flexible schedule, which makes it easy for me to incorporate pet care into my daily routine! As a dog mom to two pups of my own, walks, playtime, and plenty of love are already part of my everyday life. I’m happy to accommodate morning, afternoon, or evening visits, as well as weekends, depending on availability. I know how important it is to keep pets on their usual schedules, so I’ll always do my best to work around their routines and make sure they get the attention and care they deserve! I believe pets are happiest when they feel safe, comfortable, and loved, especially when their favorite humans are away! Since I offer care in your home, my goal is to keep your pet’s routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I’ll always follow your instructions closely, from feeding schedules and walks to medications, playtime, and any special preferences your pet may have. I’m attentive to each pet’s personality, energy level, and comfort, and I’ll make sure they receive plenty of love and attention while respecting their boundaries. I also understand that you’re trusting me with both your furry family member and your home, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly! I’ll treat your space with care, prioritize your pet’s safety, and send regular pictures and updates so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands.
“Monica provided great care for my cat like she always does. she provided pictures and videos of him and also gave updates as she did the drop ins. Monica administered his insulin well and with care! My cat loves her!”
“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!”
About: I groom dogs as well as have an existing client base with pet sitting/dog walking. I also used to be a rabbit breeder and have general experience with many animals. I originally worked in a dog daycare/hotel and shifted to grooming after moving to PA My work/school schedule isn't consistent. But generally I'm awake between the hours of 5am-11pm with wake up times and sleep times varying around those marks. Whatever schedule your pup needs I'm able to accommodate. I have an extremely friendly and passive Corgi named Fiona and a friendly and playful Pomeranian named Victoria. I have have 2 cats but they are able to be separated if it's an issue for your friend.
“Michelle was so amazing, it warmed my heart to know someone was actually giving my cat love and attention as much as I would because that’s usually a pet owners biggest fear. I was out of the country for around two weeks and worried about my cat because she tends to be a little shy and scared of new people and typically i only know how to deal with her. Michelle was perfect !! letting my cat slowly warm up to her presence visit by visit. She would send photos every visit and that was very reassuring, she would play with my cat and feed her and cuddle with gigi. I would get photos of gigi playing, running, and cuddling which is not her norm for when she meets new people so i was very happy with that.There wasn’t a moment where I was worried about my gigi. Michelle is so nice and compassionate and sweet and it shows because my gigi warmed up to her, she responds to messages and updates me where i felt reassured and comfortable, I could not be happier that i found her to take care of my cat and i was honestly lucky to have her as my pet sitter.I would definitely choose her again over anyone if I ever had to leave my cat again but in general with any animal because she actually cares.”

“Maggie did an amazing job. We can tell the dogs are happy and have been well taken care of while we were gone. We will definitely use her in the future and would recommend her to anyone in the area looking for a great dog sitter.”
About: I love all animals as long as they have 4 legs. I will take care of your babies as you have done. I will always keep you in contact with how your babies are doing and send you pictures anytime you need them. I have a flexible available schedule. I just ask for a notice as soon as possible so that I can be available for you. I love animals I love dogs and cats. I am currently going to school which is all online this makes my schedule open. I have baby gates around my house so that if my dogs start becoming very mean towards the cats, the cats have a place to run. I always make sure to stay calm with the dogs in any situation. I personally turn music on and it's mainly calm sleepy music like Enya or sleep jazz music on YouTube.
About: I have had a dog ever since I was 10 years old. I got another dog shortly after and would take care of them both when my parents were away.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats since I was a young child. Growing up, my family always had multiple dogs and cats. I grew up learning how to take care of them anytime my parents were out of town. I have experience taking care of dogs of all types, from young to old, and from big to small. I’m an elementary school music teacher, meaning I have more time in the summer! I’m a teacher, meaning I have the summers off! I’m available to care for your pets while you’re on a summer vacation or if you just need someone to take your dog for a walk while you’re at work. During the summer, I have a very open availability schedule. I have three pets in my home, 2 cats and 1 dog. I am a very astute pet parent, always making sure the areas around the house are clean and safe for them. I take my dog, Percy, on walks often. I am very comfortable taking dogs on walks, crating them if they need to be, and playing with them so they don’t get bored at home.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Kansas City
Lindsay did a fantastic job looking after my two kitties, one of which needs insulin shots twice a day! Her communication was impeccable, which gave me peace of mind during my long 20 day absence. She was also quick to reach out for instruction & helpful in suggesting solutions when a couple of issues came up around the home that needed attention. Lindsay is reliable, friendly & trustworthy. I recommend her 100% & will definitely use her services again in the future!
Jessica is not only our dogs trainer, but she jumped in last minute to let watch our dogs and cat while we had to leave town for a funeral. By the looks on our pets faces she did an AMAZING job and we will continue to have her work with our pets to ensure we have a cohesive “pack”.
Keesha was so amazing! She checked in and gave a detailed update everyday. She even bought greg a new toy to play with <3 she met with me prior to meet greg and i could tell from her questions that she genuinely wanted to provide quality care for greg and im so thankful for that. she’s the best!!
Regan did a wonderful job with the drop in visits. My dog really liked him and my shyest cat came out to see him, which I consider a good sign. Regan also made sure the feral cats had food and water as requested. Sent me photos & quick updates. I would love to hire Regan again when I go out of town.
Derek was great to work with!! Our cat Rini really liked him and he greeted her immediately when he came to our house for an introduction. He shared a few photos during his check in visits and was prompt in responding when we had questions and while setting up the visits. We will definitely ask Derek to check in with our cat in the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Cat Sitting in Kansas City is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $30 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 375 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Kansas City. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 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.

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.
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.
