“I booked Gabriella for drop in visits for our pups while we were away at our granddaughter’s competition. She came by twice as requested and I think the pups were happy that she did. I would request her again if needed.”
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!
“Thanks so much for taking such good care of everybody! All three pets were very comfortable with her, I loved getting photos while I was gone, and I so appreciate the attention to detail.”
About: I’ve had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember. caring for them has always come naturally. Friends, neighbors, and family have relied on me for years to walk, feed, bathe, and love their pets like they were my own. Most recently I had a sweet pitbull mix, Lilo, who sadly passed in January after 11 years together. Using Rover is my way of staying connected to the joy animals bring while soothing the heartache of not currently having one of my own. I’m attentive, gentle, and genuinely love bonding with every pet I meet. I work Monday-Friday 8am-4pm. I am available to walk, play, feed and care for your pets outside of those times! My weekends are completely free! I am not able to care for your pets in my own home, as I live in a rental property. However I will treat your home with the upmost respect, and care for your space and pet as if they are my own! Please let me know if your pets aren’t allowed on any furniture!!
About: Growing up with German Shepherds and a corgi, I learned patience, training skills, and responsibility. I also had two horses and often volunteered at the local stables caring for others' horses. Since then neighbors and friends have relied on me to walk, feed, and care for their pets. I hope to care for yours as well! I am currently working a full-time job, but I can care for pets in the evenings, on weekends, and I can house sit during trips or longer absences. I am unable to bring pets into my current home, but in my car I can transport your pets to necessary appointments or to favored dog parks. Whatever training you have with your pet, I will maintain, whether that means crate training or keeping pets out of certain locations in your home.
About: Family and friends come to me first if they need pets taken care of. I'm excellent with cats and dogs and follow instructions well. I know how picky I am about a sitter for my cats, so I promise to ease your mind and take care of them like I would want mine! I'm a marketer in the greater KC area and my schedule is very flexible. Other than lunchtime most days, I can move my day around to accommodate needs. We can definitely chat about your pet's schedule and work something out! I will follow your instructions exactly and respect your home like mine. Your peace and security is important to me so I will double check your requirements, and the door before I leave. If there is inclement weather, I will go straight to your place to check on everything and report back!
About: I've been a lover of puppers and kitters since a very young age. I have never met an animal I didn't love, and would love to look after your baby 😍 I am currently in between jobs so I have plenty of availability to look after your pet! I look forward to hearing from you soon. I have a fenced in back yard and if your dog gets along with ours they will have tons of fun! Your pets safety and well being is priority number 1.
“First time using Rover. Hallie was very responsive, gave me tips on what to do to execute that first pet sitting and came for key exchange and intro to cats and actions needed. Came as promised and spent time here even if scaredy cars wouldn't come out. Will use again!”
“Megan helped us last minute when our other pet sitter flaked and was so flexible and helpful when we had to add on last minute drop-ins. I appreciated all her updates and especially photos so I knew that my cats were playing and eating. Will definitely hire her again because I had peace of mind the whole trip while she was watching our cats!”
About: I have taken care of dogs since before my family even had one of our own. I have dog sat for friends since I was in middle school. My family has had a dog for the past 13 years and I have had a dog of my own for the past 3, who I self-trained. I have taken care of all dogs from Miniature Schnauzers to Saint Bernards. I love all dogs and know how important they are to you, and I’m happy to assist in making sure they are well taken care of! I currently work 8-4, with only two 20 minute breaks in my day. Outside of that, I am very flexible. I am an early riser as well and am usually up at 5am. Outside of my working hours, I am usually available for check-ins/feeding/walks, etc. I live in a studio apartment with a crate trained dog. There isn’t much additional room for a crate or to host another dog here. In a client’s home - you are the boss! Whatever your rules are for how you like your dog to be cared for, let me know and they shall be followed.
About: Hi I’m Alicia! Animals have always been a huge part of my life. As I get ready to transition off of active duty, I’m looking to spend more time with animals and give local pet owners peace of mind. I know how it feels to worry about your fur babies at home. I have experience with a wide variety of pets. I have raised puppies, timid rescues and cared for elderly dogs with significant medical needs. Cats also hold a sweet place in my heart and I love giving them the attention they deserve. I have experience administering medication and tending to whatever specific needs your pet has to make them most comfortable. I am working remote and mostly available during lunch, late afternoon and early evening for offsite visits. Any guest staying in our home will have my attention and the opportunity for plenty of dog walks. During my visits or an in home stay it is my goal to make the pet experience the least amount of stress possible. If your pet is happy, than you can be happy and enjoy your travels, work or any other life demands. I will take care of your pet as my own and provide the highest standard of care. We have a fenced in back yard and our dog Sheldon serves as a great buddy to other pets who may be homesick.
“Regan is amazing. Very kind and responsive. Helped me right when I moved into town and had a wedding to go to. Highly recommend if you need help with your pet!”
“Kellie has been awesome to work with! She’s very attentive to all the details of watching our boys and is very accommodating to one of the dogs being reactive towards the other dog at home. Would 100% recommend”

Sam is one of the only people I trust with my pets because I know he makes them feel right at home and loved in a situation that might otherwise stress them out. His commitment to providing a happy life for his own dog will translate to your pet’s experience. You (and your dog!) will love working with Sam!”

Kansas City dog parents share their Rover experiences
I was very nervous to leave my animals with someone for the first time and Jaden completely dissipated those fears! She was willing to come meet them beforehand and was super communicative! She was kind enough to help my dog with some unexpected heath needs that required passing meds and spent time with all the animals to make sure they were doing okay. I would definitely use her services again and refer her to anyone!!
Brianna was great, she came over last minute when we were in a pinch and hung out with the dogs. We asked for a quick potty break and she stayed around longer so they can have more time out in the yard, which is very nice of her to do. Would recommend her for anyone looking for a sitter!
Samantha was EXCELLENT to work with when we had to change our plans last minute, and had an ill senior dog to boot. Her communication is very good, and I can tell from the photos and videos that she sent that our dogs and cat were very comfortable with her. You can trust Samantha to take great care of your fur babies!
