Jessica shows so much individualized attention and care for our dog! She understands him and his needs and I trust her deeply with him. She is respectful, intelligent, and thorough. Cannot wait to book with her for all future walking and boarding opportunities!

About: I grew up with 2 cats, 2 dogs, and 2 birds; Big animal lover! I have experience being around previously abused dogs, particularly anxious cats, and blood-thirsty parrots. I’m a firm believer of taking everything at the animal’s pace. I work from home with flexible scheduling, so I can be available any weekday between 7-10am, noon-1, and 4pm onward. I just need a day’s notice for timing. I live in a small apartment with my two cats, so I will not be offering boarding. However, I’m happy to walk, check-in, or house sit your pets in their safe space!

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.

Theresa has been absolutely amazing! She is so kind and adaptable to my dog and his various levels of chaos for his twice weekly walks. She is punctual, spends an adequate amount of time with him, and always very loving. She has been the perfect addition to his routine. I get lots of photos and she lets me know how he did each time she picks him up. I am excited to continue working with her while I am still in school.

About: Hi! My name is Briah, I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember. I obtained an animal science degree with an emphasis on companion animal care. I also have 5 years of experience working as a veterinary assistant in local clinics, as I’ve recently transitioned careers I miss seeing furry friends on a daily basis. Unfortunately I don’t have pets of my own at this time, but I would love to help care for yours! I currently work from home 3 days a week, and spend most of my time at home on the weekends. I am able to provide walks and ear scratches throughout the day. I do not have any pets of my own in my home, I live in an apartment with a park conveniently located right out front for walks.

About: Devoted pet enthusiast with a lot of experience caring for furry friends of all shapes and sizes. I've created lasting bonds with a variety of pets and I'm committed to ensuring every pet is well-cared-for. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, so I have time to care for pets throughout the day in my home or yours. I'll maintain your pet's routine while providing proper nutrition, regular exercise, and mental stimulation. Plus plenty of cuddles and scratches for those who love them! 🙂 My goal is creating an enjoyable experience for your pet during their stay. My backyard is enclosed with 45-inch chain link fencing, and dogs are always supervised outside for safety. I kennel other pets during pickups and drop-offs, and all pets eat separately to prevent any conflicts.

About: Hey! I’m Brendan. I’m new to Rover, but I’ve been around dogs my entire life. I currently live in downtown Kansas City with my two best friends, Malakai, an 8 year old Siberian Husky, and O’Malley, a 3 year old Frenchie, so I’m very comfortable with both high energy dogs and smaller companion breeds. I work from home full time, which gives me a flexible schedule for walks, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your dog, and I’ll always make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I work from home full time, so pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. My dogs already keep me active with walks, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of attention throughout the day, so adding another furry friend to the mix feels pretty seamless. I’m home most of the day and have a flexible schedule during both weekdays and weekends. Your dog’s safety and comfort will always come first with me. I live in a pet friendly apartment downtown with plenty of walking areas nearby, and my two dogs are both very social and friendly with other dogs. I’m also comfortable crating your dog if preferred or following any routines, feeding schedules, or care instructions you already have in place to help them feel at home.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and currently have two of my own, so caring for dogs isn’t something I “fit in”—it’s already built into my daily routine. My schedule is structured around their needs, including multiple long walks each day, consistent feeding times, and plenty of attention throughout the day. Because I live this every day, I understand how important routine, exercise, and a calm environment are for dogs. I’m especially attentive to energy levels, behavior changes, and making sure each dog gets the right balance of activity and rest. What sets me apart is the level of consistency and care I provide—your dog won’t just be watched, they’ll be integrated into a structured, active, and attentive environment. Whether it’s walks or boarding, I treat every dog like my own and make sure they feel comfortable, exercised, and well cared for. I work full-time with a mix of work-from-home and in-office days. On days I’m home, your dog will have consistent attention and regular breaks throughout the day. When I’m in the office, I come home over lunch to let dogs out and check in. I primarily offer boarding on weekends but am open to weeknight stays as well, depending on your dog’s needs. Your dog will be cared for like part of the family while staying in my home. I have two playful, friendly dogs who enjoy making new friends and can help keep your pup entertained and socialized. I focus on maintaining routines, providing regular walks and potty breaks, and making sure every dog gets the attention, exercise, and comfort they need to feel at home.

About: I've had a dog of my own all my life who recently passed, and I've had a bearded dragon, fish, and other animals as well! I've been working with pets for a while now (walking/sitting pretty much everyday) in college and it's one of my favorite jobs I've ever had. I am just starting out on Rover, but I have a High Demand profile on Wag!, with 15+ five star reviews and 13 badges earned through customer satisfaction. I tend to be pretty chill and amicable for new pets, and I work well with seniors and youngsters alike. I just really enjoy meeting new animals and getting to hang out/run around! I'd love to answer any questions you may have for me, I'd even be happy to set up a call to chat face to face if it would make you feel more comfortable! I am on summer break from college right now, so I can make myself available for whatever time you need assistance! I am particularly available for long daytime hours and overnights for those who need a housesitter! I am great at de-stressing pets and am very flexible when working with new challenges. I also am completely able to keep up with pets that like to play and get out and about! I can even bring my own treats if you want!

About: Hi!! My name is Alyssa, and I’m a dedicated and compassionate pet sitter in the Kansas City area! I have experience working with animals of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, from energetic puppies to senior pets who need a little extra patience and care. I’m very attentive to routines, feeding schedules, and any specific needs your pet may have. I also have hands-on experience caring for my diabetic cat, including administering insulin injections and monitoring routines. Because of this, I’m comfortable supporting pets with medical needs and understand the importance of consistency, timing, and gentle handling. Outside of pet sitting, I work in the counseling field supporting children and families, which has strengthened my patience, responsibility, and ability to stay calm in all situations, these skills I bring into caring for your pets as well. My goal is to make sure your pet feels comfortable, loved, and secure while you’re away and to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. I am getting my master’s, so I have some evening classes, but I am still able to provide consistent, attentive care throughout the day. I’m available for drop-ins, walks, and house sitting during weekdays and weekends. Because of my schedule, I’m able to prioritize your pet’s routine, including feeding times, walks, play, and any medical needs like medications or insulin injections. I do my best to be reliable, on-time, and responsive to messages. I prioritize safety, structure, and a calm environment for every pet I care for. I follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, medications, and any specific instructions you provide. I have experience administering medications, including insulin injections, and understand the importance of consistency and careful monitoring. In your home, I am respectful of your space and ensure your pet feels comfortable and secure. I pay close attention to behavior and body language, especially for anxious or shy pets, and adjust my approach to meet their needs. My goal is to create a safe, low-stress environment where your pet feels cared for and you feel confident they’re in good hands.

About: I grew up with dogs and cats, have fostered in the past, and continue to care for my friend’s pets while they are away. I am open to house-sit, drop in, or go on however long of a walk your best friend needs. I have a lot of experience taking care of pets in their own homes, making sure they are safe and comfortable. I have experience with different breeds and temperaments - cuddlers, partiers, grouches, and loungers all deserve love! I can’t wait to spend time with your best friend and give you peace of mind. I work full time, but work from home Mondays and Fridays. Currently I could do drop-ins and walks anytime Fridays through Mondays. For Tuesday through Thursday, I would only be available early morning and evening. I’m available any day for house sitting stays which includes overnight care in your home with evening and morning routines. We can discuss if midday drop-in or walk are needed on the days i’m in the office. Drop-ins include feeding, water refresh, play/potty time, and quick updates. Walks include a 30-minute walk at your dog’s usual pace, leash handling, water refill if needed, and notes to the owner. If your dog needs longer than 30 minutes, Incan also do a longer walk for an hour. I make a point to ensure pets are following their schedules and any training they are working on. I always make sure to double check any needs/wants with the owner, to make sure pets are at their most comfortable. Let me know how your pet thrives in their environment, the more details the better! 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 everyone! I am an animal lover and would love to help you out by letting your pets out during the day, taking them on walks, or even watching them while you are out of town. I have grown up with both dogs and cats all my life, as of right now though I currently only have a cat but love dogs just as much. I’m extremely patient, understanding, and trustworthy. I’m comfortable with both large and small dogs, and of course puppies! I am flexible with whatever your pet’s needs might be, just let me know and I’m sure we can figure out a way to provide them with the care that they need. I look forward to meeting you all and your pets! I currently work full time during the week but free in the evenings. I am available during the week after 4p and anytime on the weekends. I currently live in an apartment so if pets stayed with me, they would need to be comfortable with cats and quiet due to apt living. I am comfortable coming to your house and looking after dogs or cats.

Wow! Derek is great. My boys, an exuberant Cardigan Welsh Corgi and a reserved Aussie foster, both enjoyed their walks with him. I can recommend Derek without reservation. He is very professional and easy to work with. Most importantly, he has a great way with dogs. You can trust Derek with your cherished companion.

She was incredibly attentive to all the details, right on time, and super responsive with communication from start to finish.
