“Emma stayed with my cat Patrick for a week while I was in another state for work. Patrick needs some special attention and takes daily medication. She did a great job making sure he was taking care of and comfortable! Additionally, she communicated with me well and made sure to send me some pictures every day!”
“We are so incredibly grateful for Whitney and everything that she’s done for us. Whitney brings a natural and consistent loving approach to her work. It was immediately clear that her care and supportive approach sets her apart from others. For this stay, Whitney cared for our two cats and one dog for a week. Due to the weather, we were delayed for 1 1/2 days coming home. Whitney was beyond understanding and did not hesitate to continue caring for our babies and home while we were away. We feel lucky and privileged to have met Whitney. I genuinely cannot wait until my babies have the opportunity to spend time with her again! Thank you again Whitney!!!”
“Erin was wonderful. She went above and beyond in every way, kept us informed, and took great care of the house. Our puppy was 6 months at the time of the vacation, and Erin did great with all of them. I am sure they will all be so happy to see her again!”
“Rachel did an amazing job with our dogs. We were able to enjoy our vacation, knowing she was taking such good care of them. We got daily updates, with pictures. She gladly brought in mail and watered plants for us. She is very accommodating and fit us in to her schedule. She was able to pop in for 3 afternoons visits before her time here started when our son wasn’t able to get here during the day to let them out. We will definitely be calling her for future jobs! She’s a gem!!”
“Jennifer was fantastic! Bill had a blast with her and she kept the house in great shape. Would highly recommend having Jennifer watch your pets / house!”
“Maryn provided exceptional dog/house sitting services. She made sure my dog was attended to as requested, provided walks, kept the house tidy, and provided me with regular updates on my dog. This was my first time using Rover and she made the process seamless and worry free.”
About: Hello! I am a pet lover with years of experience in caring for pets young and old. My profile says Lenexa but I am now Downtown - Rover won’t display the change for some reason :) In my life I have owned 1 dog of each size (small, medium, and large of course), two parakeets, a guinea pig, several goldfish, and a leopard gecko. I currently live in Prairie Village with my two kitties, Josie and Jade, and my roommate's 4 year old doodle named Gus. I have several years of both catsitting and dogsitting experience with close friends and family members, and it has always been the most fun side job so I thought I'd give Rover a shot. I also have housesitting and plant care experience. I am a full time actor, so regularly I work from home and will spend certain full days on set, not usually consecutively & with minimum 1 week’s notice. Additionally, starting in June I will have evening rehearsals 3-5 hours long here in town. I am communicative with clients & I like to send photos at client request. In situations of senior care or medication, I will always opt to message with a question rather than make an unsafe assumption. Additionally, I am a very clean person and prioritize leaving things how I found them.
“I really enjoyed meeting Regan. He is super reliable and took great care for our dogs. He stayed overnight and during the day. He anticipated a storm and brought in all our outdoor cushions and returned them outside after the storm! Above and beyond!”
“Noelle was an amazing sitter for our 5th month old puppy and cat! She sent us regular updates/pictures and made sure our babies were well taken care of for the night we were gone. Would definitely recommend her if you need someone to stop by and check on your pet or if you need someone to stay the night at your place!”
About: Having owned pets all my life, I completely understand the feeling of nervousness when leaving your pet in someone else’s care, but I am here to ensure you that they will be treated as if they’re my own. I enjoy long walks, the more sniffs of nature, the better! Making sure your dog gets fresh air and is active on your busiest days is what I’m here for. I want to make sure you’re never worried when your pets are in my care, there will always be an overload of updates and pictures for you to enjoy! My love for pets and taking care of them doesn’t stop at dogs. I love a good lounge session with cats or maybe they want to meow away about their day, I’m here to listen! Whatever it may be, I’m here to help ☺️ I work in a restaurant, so my hours are usually night time, but pet care is my number one priority and I’m willing to work whatever I can into my schedule to help meet the needs of your pets! I plan care for your pet in your home by making sure they feel like you’re still there. Cuddles? I’m on it. Acting like I don’t exist unless it’s for food? Done. Whatever your pet needs and wants, I’m there to supply!
“Abby was fabulous she gave our dogs extra special care and she did a wonderful job taking care of them. We look forward to having Abby watch our furry friends again almost as much as they do. 10 stars”
“Amazing caretaker. She went above and beyond to ensure my pets were taken care of. My dog had a cough and she took him to the vet and kept me updated every step of the way. Would recommend her to any pet owner!”
“Shyanne did a fantastic job watching our kitties! She was so communicative and took lots of pictures. I never had to wonder about our cats while away on an extended trip which brings such peace of mind! She also left our home very clean which was nice to come home to. Will definitely be booking again!”
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.
“Brenna did a great job looking after my cat Patrick while I was away for work. She made sure he got his daily meds on time and made sure he was comfortable while I was gone. Additionally she put my mind at ease by clearly communicating and sending me pictures everyday”
“Evan was attentive to the boys, giving them lots of pets and cuddles, and he followed my recommended schedule and instructions precisely! Great communication throughout and the pups would love to have Evan as a dogsitter again in the future! Thank you for being there for them while we were away.”
“Excellent sitter for my 8 year old and 2 1 year old Rottweiler puppies. Mya is a loving and compassionate person. She followed my special instructions to the tee and was especially great with my youngest puppy with epilepsy as one of the 7 dogs in her own household also has epilepsy. I couldn't have asked for a better person than Mya for my last minute booking while I had surgery. Will definitely use her repeatedly! Highly recommend.”
“We had a very positive experience with Ayana! She has such a kind and sweet demeanor. Our dogs took to her instantly, as did we. We look forward to having her watch our pups again. Oh, and she makes the most delicious vegan banana bread!”

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!!
Jennifer was wonderful! She took Oso on walks, played with him in the backyard and snuggled with him when watching TV. She was great in letting Oso set the pace and activities they would do! Her communication was great! I will definitely be scheduling her to care for Oso in the future!
Mattie really seems to love our fur babies when taking care of them in our absence. We regularly received text photos and updates letting us know how they were all doing. In one picture, one of our cats was laying on Mattie's legs while our dogs were snuggled up the each side of her. Our condo lobby attendant said Mattie was super nice and great with our pets.
Kayma was AMAZING! She did a great job communicating before her stay and during the stay she sent lots of updates and pictures of Otis. My house looked as if she wasn’t there when I returned. I was able to relax during my time away because I knew my anxious dog was being well taken care of, thank you so much Kayma.
Hannah K. has cared for our three pets several times, and this most recent stay set a new standard. She is tremendous. We have three animals, and during this visit each one needed a different care routine due to injuries. Hannah handled it with total focus and confidence. Medications, special instructions, close monitoring. She stayed on top of every detail and never missed a beat. She treats each animal as an individual. You see it in how she adjusts her approach, how closely she pays attention, and how quickly our pets settle in with her. They trust her. That matters. She is also a dedicated dog walker and fits right in with our community of neighborhood pet owners. Communication is excellent. She sends thoughtful updates, shares great photos, and asks smart questions when needed. You always know what is going on, and you never have to chase her down for information. She also takes great care of the house. Everything is clean, organized, and exactly as we left it. During this stay she managed a power outage and a couple of storms without missing a step. No disruption. No stress passed on to us. She handled it calmly and kept everything running smoothly. We have used Hannah many times, and this experience confirmed it again. She is reliable, attentive, and genuinely cares about the animals in her charge. I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone who wants their pets and home in capable, caring hands.
I can’t say enough good things about Kennedy! While I was in Mexico, she took such incredible care of my dogs and gave me total peace of mind the entire time. She went above and beyond—not only making sure they were happy, cared for, and loved on, but also administering their medications and kept everything on track. When feeding schedules needed to change, she adapted without hesitation and handled it all seamlessly. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the animals she looks after, and that kind of trust is priceless. I came home to calm, healthy, happy pups—which says everything. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and truly compassionate pet sitter!
Kara is awesome! She stayed with my cat while I was overseas for nearly three weeks and, for the first time ever, I returned to a content boy who acted almost like I hadn’t even been gone (usually it takes about a week for him to express his disapproval and get over my absence/return). My cat is very particular on who he likes, but from the first night he was wrapped around her neck and snuggled in as if she were me! I received plenty of photo updates and he received tons of love and snuggles and consistent meals schedules as if I were home. Kara is just the best!
Kat did a great job with our potty training and teething puppy! She sent lots of pictures and updates while we were at work all day. She did some of the training we're working on. She communicated any questions she had about our puppy and handling her mischief. She even put everything in our DogLog app for us! She's coming back later this week and we're so grateful!
