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 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!

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: We’re both active, dependable flight attendants who love spending our free time with animals. Because our job takes us to different cities, we often have extended layovers where we have the flexibility and availability to provide dedicated care for cats and dogs. Whether we’re at home or traveling, caring for pets is something we genuinely enjoy. As proud dog owners ourselves, we’ve put extensive time into training, exercise, and daily care. We’re experienced with all types of collars and harnesses. (We went through many during our boys puppy stage). We’re also comfortable administering medications, following detailed feeding schedules, and adapting to your pet’s unique routine. Whether your pet needs an energetic adventure, a relaxing walk, or just cuddles while you’re away, we’ll care for them as if they were our own. We’re flight attendants who work opposite schedules for our own pup, so one of us is always home to care for your furry friend. Our schedules are all over the place, so we’re able to accommodate any occupation. So whether you’re on call, an early bird, or a grave shift worker, WE GET IT! We have a huge fenced yard where your pup can run for miles. We have an energetic dog ourselves who requires a lot of play. We live close to the dog park and can also take your pup for walks.

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.
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!

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.

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
- 98% 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.
