About: I’ve grown up with dogs all my life and love them more than people so let me put all my dog-loving energy into spoiling yours! I work in education so am off during summer break (all of June through mid-July) and available to meet your dogs needs whether it’s a puppy working on training or a senior who needs to take it slow :) I work full time in education so have long break availability (winter and summer break). During the school year, I am mostly only available on weekends but can be flexible with some evenings during the week. Just let me know what you need! I will be respectful of your space when in your home. I can come in and out or sit and stay awhile to keep your pup company.
About: I strive to care for all animals with the utmost respect and kindness! I am very patient and will always interact with your pets as if they were my own. I have 6+ years of experience caring for my own cats, dog sitting, watching chickens, and volunteering through KC Pet Project. I’m currently available full time and free most evenings and weekends to care for your pets. I am also usually free and in town during holidays. I am happy to accommodate your busy schedule! I take a calm and gentle approach and will respect and accommodate any needs of the pets I care for. I understand that all animals are unique and am excited to cater my services to your pet's personality.
“Samantha was amazing, as always! She takes great photos that always make us laugh, and I can tell our dogs our comfortable with her. She provides wonderful and expert care to our dog who has special needs due to cancer.”
About: I have cared for my friend’s dogs while they are away many times. I enjoy providing animals with enrichment and making sure they get ample exercise. I am careful around new dogs to let them show me what kind of care they prefer, and strive to make my time with them as enjoyable as possible for both of us. I have full time evening employment. I am available to care for pets Sunday-Thursday 9am to 2pm (meaning my latest available visit would start at 1:30pm for an 30 min visit), and All day Fridays and Saturdays! I have lots of experience with sneaky animals who love eating things they are not supposed to eat or hiding in places they should not be. I am diligent with putting away foodstuffs and making sure doors/ screens are shut. Please let me know if your pet has these behaviors so I can be prepared before the visit.

About: I’ve spent 7+ years caring for pets of all kinds, taking the time to learn each one’s routine, quirks, and comfort level so they feel safe and relaxed while you’re away. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to help with puppies, seniors, and pets who need a little extra care. I work a full-time job from 10–5 on weekdays, so I schedule pet care around my work hours. I’m available early mornings, evenings, and weekends for walks, playtime, or visits. When I’m with pets, I give them my full attention and make sure they’re happy, comfortable, and well-cared-for, even with my regular work schedule. I provide attentive, patient care whether I’m at your home or mine. In your home, I follow your pet’s routine closely—feeding, playtime, walks, litter box care, and any special instructions—to keep them comfortable and stress-free. If pets are in my home, I make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and part of the family, giving plenty of attention, cuddles, and play. I always prioritize their happiness, health, and comfort.
“Love having Jessica over to walk my pup. She's so good with animals and you can see how much see loves them. Such a comfort having her walk my sweet pup during the day”

“Theresa is absolutely wonderful. She was so flexible in the time we needed her due to our game being delayed. She kept us up to date about the pets with severe weather in the area. Amazing!!!!”


About: Hi! I’m Katie, a medical student who recently moved to Kansas City. Between classes and studying, spending time with animals is one of my favorite ways to unwind and recharge. I’ve been a lifelong pet lover with years of hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs. I’ve had cats in my home since I was born, so I’m comfortable with everything from cuddles and playtime to litter box maintenance and administering basic care. For the past few years, I’ve also cared for a friend’s dog while he’s away for work as a pilot. Through that experience, I’ve gained consistent experience with daily walks, feeding, playtime, and making sure pets feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family members. I pride myself on being reliable, communicative, attentive, and compassionate. Whether your pet needs an energetic walking buddy, a cozy companion, or simply someone to keep their routine consistent, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pets! Pet care is already part of my daily life with my own cats, and I regularly care for a friend’s dog. Feeding, walks, and playtime fit easily into my routine. I am a medical student who spends most of my time studying at home or at your home watching your pets! In my home or a client’s, I keep pets on their normal routine with consistent feeding, fresh water, playtime, and plenty of love. I make sure dogs get the walks and exercise they need, and cats get attention and comfort while staying in their safe space. My goal is to make them feel at home and cared for.

About: I’ve loved animals of all kinds since I was a kid! For the last 8 years I have worked as a veterinary assistant working hands on with pets of all kinds including anxious pets, special needs pets, and geriatric pets. I’m comfortable giving medications or following specific directions for pets that need just a little more attention. I of course love pets of all ages whether that’s playing with young pets or giving older pets more accommodations. I’m currently working part-time at an animal clinic, so I’ll have plenty of time to care for your pet! I go for walks twice daily already and your pet would make a perfect addition! I live in an apartment with my 13 year old cat, Juliet. Juliet is a very sweet cat but will typically hide when other pets are boarded in the home. My apartment is located in the Volker neighborhood with parks and plenty of walking trails nearby. For in home boarding, pets are welcome on my furniture including the bed. I am happy to follow any and all requests for boarding / caretaking inside your home, including giving medications either orally or injectables.
About: I grew up in a cat and dog household. My parents over the years have had four dogs. Ranging from pit mixes to labs. I often times pet sit for my friends whenever they go out of town. I have three of my own cats. My oldest cat is a senior at 16 years, my second is five years old, and my youngest is a seventh month old kitten. My cats have their own dietary restrictions so I understand the importance of respecting a strict pet diet. I often times pet sit for family and friends. Including overnights with their dogs. I live in the river market area and typically take my friends dogs out for walks at the riverfront. I am able to do overnights. I am unable to house any pets in my apartment. However, I can spend as much time with your fur babies in your home! I have my phone on me at all times for open communication and plenty of photos of your pup or kitty!

I will keep you updated on anything you specifically ask, or of any questions I might have that will help me get to know your pet better.

About: Hi! My name is Lyrik. As a lifelong animal lover with 5 years of professional experience caring for pets of all shapes and sizes, I know how important it is to find someone you can trust to look after your furry family members. Whether it's daily walks, drop-in visits, or overnight stays, I treat every pet like they're my own — with love, patience, and plenty of playtime! At home, I’m a proud pet parent to two dogs, Honey (2) and Gigi (7), and one sassy cat named Callie (4). They’ve taught me so much about different pet personalities, needs, and the importance of creating a calm, loving environment. I’m experienced with dogs and cats of all ages, breeds, and personalities. From high-energy pups to shy senior kitties, I’m attentive to each pet’s unique needs. I’m also CPR/First Aid certified for pets and can administer medications if needed. Reliable communication, timely updates, and lots of photos are part of the experience when your pet is in my care. I want you to feel confident and relaxed while you're away. Let’s schedule a meet-and-greet — I’d love to connect and learn all about your pet’s routine, quirks, and favorite treats! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine! I work full-time remotely, which gives me the flexibility to schedule visits throughout the day. I also babysit my niece and nephew twice a week, but I always make sure to plan my pet care visits around those times. I’m available early in the morning, during my lunch break, and after work, so I can provide consistent, timely care. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my approach is the same: create a calm, loving, and safe environment where your pet feels comfortable and secure. I follow any instructions closely and stick to your pet’s usual routine as much as possible — including feeding times, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any medication needs. In your home, I’m respectful of your space and keep things clean and tidy. I make sure your pet feels cared for, not just watched. I give them plenty of attention, snuggles (if they want them!), and engagement. I also send regular updates with photos so you always know how your pet is doing. If caring for pets in my own home, I make sure it’s a safe and welcoming space. My pets — Honey, Gigi, and Callie — are well-socialized, and I always do a slow, supervised introduction to make sure everyone gets along comfortably. I monitor all interactions closely to ensure an stress-free environment.

About: I've loved animals for as long as I can remember and have experience caring for both dogs and cats. I had my own dog for 15 wonderful years and currently have a cat, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and care for their pets while they're away. I'm comfortable caring for pets with different personalities and routines, and I'm happy to follow any special instructions to help them feel safe and comfortable. As a high school teacher, I'm dependable, patient, and detail-oriented. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having a calm companion nearby, I'll make sure they receive plenty of attention and care. I'll also send regular photo and text updates so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is in good hands. I treat every pet as if they were my own and every home with the same respect I would want for mine. I currently have a flexible summer schedule with plenty of availability for pet care. Starting August 10, I'll be available evenings, weekends, holidays, and school breaks. I keep my calendar up to date and will always communicate clearly about my availability. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I'll follow your pet's routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, playtime, and any special instructions. I'll also treat your home with care and provide regular updates and photos so you know how your pet is doing.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Kansas City
Kushi was absolutely amazing! She was able to accommodate me and my dog last minute this weekend due to a medical procedure, and I truly don’t know what I would have done without her. She was incredibly attentive to all the details, right on time, and super responsive with communication from start to finish. She really showed up for us when we needed her most, and that kind of reliability and care means everything. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in such good hands. I can’t recommend Kushi enough!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Kansas City on Rover is $18.87 per walk (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 2,528 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Kansas City. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Kansas City. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Kansas City.
Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s walk begins.
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 walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Kansas City. On Rover:
- 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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.
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 walker.
