“Arabella was super responsive and communicative while checking on my kitties. She sent lots of videos and pictures that helped ease my traveling anxiety and let me know they were in good hands. Would absolutely recommend her services to anyone looking for a great sitter!”
“Jennifer was FANTASTIC! Her care was top notch and I felt so secure leaving my kiddos with her. I genuinely think that one of my cats, Toast was disappointed to see us, and not Jennifer. She gave great updates and photos at every visit and we appreciated her so much! I will absolutely contact Jennifer again for care of our kitties.”
About: I have dog sat and cared for many other dogs and animals before. I will always make sure the animals are well treated for and the house is taken care of. I am very friendly and strive to make sure every experience is friendly. I have two dogs of my own. I am excited to be able to take care of your dogs and make sure they get what they need while you are away from home. Something that sets me apart from other sitters and walkers is that I am very client forward and will work to meet your needs. I am currently working part time, so I will have plenty of time to play with your pups, I am available for walks and check ins Monday/wednesday/ thursday and house sitting Monday- Sunday! I follow all directions owners leave for me to care for their dog and home.I also help run errands while owners are away, and in warmer months I take care of indoor and outdoor plants
“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!”
“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!”
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.
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.
“Kadyn was great and we loved having her take care of our cat Stormy!! Kadyn was super responsive and sent loads of pictures at each drop-in, making sure Stormy was entertained even while we were out. I’m super glad our cat had Kadyn with her while we were away :)”
“Rachel always does a great job of taking care of Tune. She is quick to respond, flexible with meet-ups when needed, and on time! Would recommend to a friend and will plan to rebook. Thanks, Rachel!”
About: I've been caring for dogs since I was seven years old, ensuring they are walked, fed, and loved every day. I grew up with small and medium sized dogs. In addition to my personal pets, I have also provided care for friends’ dogs and fostered puppies during middle and high school.

I maintain cleanliness, monitor their health, and ensure their safety at all times. My goal is to provide personalized and attentive care to make your pet's experience enjoyable and stress-free.

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.
“Erica did a great job taking care of our elderly cat Cindy and keeping us updated with Rovercards. It is wonderful to be able to leave home for a few days and have someone available to care for your fur babies! Thank you!”
About: Things I love: working out, basketball, Jesus, traveling, cooking, coffee, public education, and DOGS!

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.
Jennifer is an absolute sweetheart and Louie loves having her as a sitter. He even goes to his kennel all by himself while I'm getting ready for work. She checks in regularly and gives me photo updates. The most important thing is that she gives him the care and attention I'm not able to give him while I'm at work. I book with her every week because I'm so happy with the way she takes care of my baby boy.
Taylor was so awesome. My hubs and I came to KC for a wedding and just needed a sitter for a few hours each day while we attended the wedding activities. Taylor was able to stay with Murphy on short notice. She took him to a park and played ball with him for a hour. We are so grateful to her. It’s hard to stay with an active dog in a hotel and Taylor just made it so easy for us and made our sweet boy a happy dog. 10 outta 10. Highly recommend Taylor for taking care of your fur babies. 🥰
Rafaela was amazing with my cat and dog! They were both so comfortable and happy when I got home, and she kept me updated with photos and messages while I was away and even made me aware of a beeping noise that was coming from the laundry unit. You can tell Rafaela really cares about animals — my pets were in great hands and I would gladly book Rafaela again!
Cannot say enough about Kennedy. I had updates all the time and pictures and this is the first time I left my dogs in someone else's care and I was 100% comfortable with her! She was amazing and so caring for my babies. And my dogs loved her! Not sure they were even excited to see me when I returned...LOL. A 5-star dog sitter for sure! Total dog person with a HUGE doggy heart!!!! Thanks Kennedy for all your sweet love and care for my boys!

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Kansas City stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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!
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 .

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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Kansas City with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.

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.
