About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have experience caring for pets for family, friends, and neighbors. As a college student and athlete, I’m dependable, responsible, and active, so your pets will get plenty of attention, exercise, and care. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, or keeping them company, I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe and loved while you’re away. I’m a full-time college student with a mix of online and in-person classes, which gives me flexibility throughout the week. I also play collegiate soccer, but I plan my schedule carefully and update my availability regularly. I’m available for pet sitting, drop-in visits, and walks during my free time, as well as many evenings and weekends. I’ll always communicate clearly to make sure your pet gets the care and attention they deserve. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I will follow your pet’s routine, feeding schedule, medication instructions, and any special requests to help them feel comfortable. I’ll provide plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and updates with photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always keep their well-being first.
“Jennifer took care of our 2 dogs and home for a few days - she did a fantastic job! She communicates regularly with pictures and information which is super helpful and comforting while being away. We highly recommend Jennifer!”
“Erika is awesome with our puppy Lola. She has been timely, reliable and trustworthy. We feel comfortable and happy knowing our puppy is in safe hands! We have enjoyed getting to know and working with Erika and we would recommend her to other pet owners!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and have cared for them all through college. I have a background as a Registered Nurse, so keeping your pup safe, happy and comfortable is second nature for me. Whether your dog needs medication, a specific routine or extra gentle care for their senior years. I’m fully comfortable handling whatever they need. Your pup will get endless cuddles, playtime and attention while you're away! Plus plenty of photo updates so you always have peace of mind. I can’t wait to meet your furry friend! 🐾 I have completely open availability right now and am at home all day, so that your pup gets 100% of my time, attention and care. My home is very pet friendly with cozy spots for naps, dedicated feeding areas, and plenty of room for play. I stick strictly to your routine so they feel right at home
“Angela was amazing! She took great care of our dog, three cats and chickens. We are always nervous to leave our little family behind when we travel, but Angela was very responsive and we knew they were safe and in good hands. We'll be going to Angela for help whenever we can. We cannot recommend her enough!”
“Erin stayed with our two cats would could not be around each other. She kept them separate, happy and safe! Our house was spotless and I had great peace of mind knowing she was keeping an eye on things! Highly recommend! We will be using her again!”
“Julia took excellent care of our girl. We made a last minute request for Julia to extend her stay and she was kind enough to accommodate. I would definitely recommend Julia for your pet sitting needs.”
“Maryn is amazing! She took great care of my boy while I was away for the week. I appreciated her updates and communication while I was away and will definitely reach out again for her services in the future.”
“Jenna was great. Super communicative, very attentive during the meet and greet, and sent regular updates for both my pets. I would definitely have her house sit again!”
“Thomas was amazing with our animals. So loving and kind, they were happy and healthy when we returned. He also took immaculate care of our apartment, it was clean and tidy when we returned!”
“Lauren was great with Cai, an indulged Cardigan Welsh Corgi. Cai was happy and looks forward to Lauren's visits. . Lauren connects with openness and kindness. Cai liked her immediately and enjoyed her visit! Thanks, Lauren for sleeping with Cai and letting him show you his world.”
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’ve been taking care of animals since I was a young child. I have experience with puppies, large and small dogs, and cats too. I house sit for all of my friends when they leave town. Whether it’s stopping by to check on kitties or staying in home to watch the pups, I’ve done it all! I just love animals and enjoy taking care of them. I am a full time student in Lawrence, KS and also work as a part-time float medical assistant around the Kansas City Metro Area. I work on Mondays and Fridays from 8:00 AM - 4:30 PM (This is the maximum amount time I would be away from your pet). My classes are on Tuesdays 9:30 AM - 3:15 PM and Thursdays 12:00 PM - 4:30 PM out in Lawrence, KS. I’m essentially off on Saturdays, Sundays, and Wednesdays. I will make myself available as possible for your beloved pet within these limitations. I cannot offer care in my house, all care provided would either be outside (for walks/play) or inside your home. I can offer to either come by at your requested times or I can stay in-home during your leave.
About: 🐾Hello! I have over a decade of dog sitting experience, ranging from pomeranians to saint bernards. Whether you need someone to keep up with your energetic pup or provide company and attentive care for your laid back senior dog, I'm here to ensure they feel loved and cared for while you're away. 😊 I currently work full time, monday - friday, as well as attend grad school. My availability for house sitting begins on friday nights after 5pm, and through the weekend! Additional availability for walks and drop in care on weeknights. I work in the Mission/Shawnee area so I may be able to provide drop in care over my lunch break as well. :) Safety and communication are my top priorities. I maintain your pets routine to ensure they feel comfortable, and provide regular updates for your peace of mind. You can expect plenty of photos during our time together. 📸 Feel free to message me to schedule a meet up prior to providing care!
“I was very nervous leaving my dogs with someone other than family while I was away but LuLu did a great job. She kept me updated constantly throughout the day. My place seemed cleaner than when I left too! 10/10 recommend for your furry critters!”
“Loved having Jennifer watching our 3 dogs! When she came over initially for a meet & greet with them, our shy dog Penny who normally hides and barks at strangers went right up to her for attention. While we were gone we got frequent photos and updates. We returned to find a written recap of how the weekend went, and learned that she worked with them on some behavioral training as well. So happy we had her come vs leaving them in a kennel and highly recommend her.”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life and I am super passionate about animals. I have experienced both owning and sitting animals of all ages (especially puppies) and I would love to get to know your fuzzy friends!😊 I am a student, but currently on break for the summer so I am very flexible! I am a runner so long walks don’t bother me at all. Animals are one of my passions so I will be giving your fur baby as much attention as it needs. Whether that is a walk, a food and water refill, some pets or a simple potty break, I will be there!
The median cost per night for house sitting in Kansas City is $45
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Kansas City
We could not have asked for a better first experience using Rover than with Mya! From start to finish, she made leaving our boy so stress-free. She took the absolute best care of him, treating him like her own and sending the cutest picture updates that completely brightened our days while we were away. Beyond being fantastic with him, Mya took wonderful care of our home, leaving everything so tidy and well kept. It was such a relief to come back to the happiest pup and total peace of mind. We are so grateful to have found Mya and will definitely be booking with her again—we couldn't recommend her more highly!
Kayma is the absolute best! She took such good care of my two dogs and sent me plenty of updates and pictures when I was out of town. She is kind and caring, and both my dogs and I immediately trusted her. I (like many dog parents) am very selective on who I trust with my dogs, and I felt so lucky that we found Kayma!
This was our first time using Erika as our dog sitter. We have two small Shih Tzu’s and she did a great job for us. She did a great job of sending pictures and videos and based on those we could tell our dogs were doing great and were enjoying her company. She did a great job of keeping us informed if there were any issues that came up. She left our house very clean and in order. She arrived a little early and left a little later which we really appreciated. From the meet and greet to the end of her stay we were very happy with the service Erika provided. We would highly recommend her for any of your pet sitting needs.
Lauren was a fantastic sitter! Communication was great whether it was asking questions or letting me know how my critters were doing. I could tell Rags (Brussels) and Clyde (Jardine) were well taken care of the week I was gone. Would highly recommend Lauren for pet care and will be using her again in the future.
Kaitlyn did an amazing job caring for our two dogs while we were away for the week. She was attentive, reliable, and made sure our pups were happy and well cared for. She also kept our home clean and tidy throughout her stay, which we truly appreciated. We came home to happy dogs and a well-kept house! We would absolutely recommend Kaitlyn and will definitely reach out to her again for future trips!
My highly anxious and fearful dog has some pretty rough "quirks" - It's hard to find a sitter who fits well with her personality. Rafaela was flexible when needed, had a very calm energy, and showed up to both the meet & greet AND the housesitting job clearly having reviewed all of the info on my dog's profile (she immediately asked - totally unprompted - whether my dog had already taken her medication for the day. Details like this made me 100% confident that she would follow all guidance exactly as planned). I felt very confident leaving my dog with her and would happily rebook!
We really appreciated how well Anna took care of our pup, Fern. She communicated well, sent pictures and updates and contacted me with any questions she had. It's not easy leaving an elderly dog with anxiety, but we felt assured that she was well taken care of, and a big bonus was coming home to a clean home! Couldn't have been more pleased with the job she did! Would highly recommend her services!!
Jennifer goes above and beyond, helps with watering the plants as well as making our little lady feel loved and safe while we are away. It’s hard being away from our dog while we are traveling but we know Ilsa is having a great time without us because she’s with Jennifer.
Michael was an incredible sitter for Buddy while I was away! He was so attentive and made sure Buddy stayed on his normal daily routine, which gave me so much peace of mind. He sent daily updates along with plenty of pictures, so I always knew Buddy was happy and well cared for. Not only did Michael take Buddy along with him when he ran errands (Buddy absolutely adores car rides!), but he also made sure Buddy got plenty of playtime with other dogs. It was clear that Buddy was treated like part of the family. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter during my time away. I highly recommend Michael to anyone looking for someone who is reliable, caring, and genuinely loves dogs. Thank you again, Michael
Regan was awesome. We were so relieved to have him on the job, and able to relax about both our pets and our home and posessions. He is perfect, and we will try to use him again, if he’s still doing this (he has a pretty glowing future ahead of him in the medical field), by the time we need a sitter again.
The best sitter we've ever had! He took the time to ask about any special needs, was communicative, and sent plenty of photos and videos so we didn't miss out on any fun moments when we were away. 10/5 stars for Diamonds. We will definitely be using him again!
Charlett was absolutely wonderful with my dog! She gave me so much peace of mind while I was away by sending regular updates, photos, and videos, and it was clear Poppy was happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. Charlett was reliable, communicative, and genuinely attentive to Poppy’s needs. When I picked her up, she was relaxed, happy, and had clearly been treated like part of the family. It’s obvious Charlotte truly loves animals, and that comes through in the level of care she provides. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Charlotte again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and dependable dog sitter!
I was so lucky to find Brenna!! She completed an in home sit for my two dogs and left them happy and the house spotless. She was a great communicator throughout, sending photos and regular updates. Nothing was better than coming home to fresh sheets, and she even left me a delicious homemade casserole for my first day back, which was such a lifesaver so I didn’t have to prioritize grocery shopping and food prep. Thank you so much, Brenna!!

FAQs for House Sitting - Kansas City
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Kansas City on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 1,561 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Kansas City. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Kansas City walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Kansas City maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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 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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Kansas City. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
