About: First of all let’s start off with I want to be an successful veterinarian within the next 2-5 years and you’d be so much help ! Currently trying to work at petsmart and / or petco ! Volunteered at wayside waifs for 2 years and grew up with 15-30 / 40-60 pound dogs ! Cats were rare around the house but I’ve had a lot of kittens. 1 bunny. Free on weekends and weekdays . Currently unemployed and attend school . I have a calm 7yr old boy that came 2 months early and a chill daughter💙 I’ll more than likely be home alone with your little snuggle buddies 🤗 oh and I can make any trips for you as long as the cost is covered 💙💙💙 i’m a full-time mom to my 7yr old and 2yr old so i don’t work at the moment.. id love to actually sit someone’s loving animal.. i kind of need it sometimes . postpartum can be real annoying at times 🙄 i’m pet friendly and also the people around me 💓 your little fur babe(s) will definitely get spoiled non-stop . HOW COULD YOU NOT LOVE THEM 😩💓 (well unless of course if they just prefer not to be dealt with ) i can groom them , walks , treats (of my own), etc. don’t be surprised if when you pick your fur baby up they’re dressed 😭😭 LOL i love fashion as well. hopefully they’re friendly 💓 Free for most of the day being that I do not work. As long as there’s toys and space there’s always time to play ! I use rover to balance my financial needs and peace ! 🤙 Your loving addition to the family has a ottoman that he/she is allowed to relax on for whenever they want to be alone.

About: I’ve had dogs, cats, and even chickens in my life for as long as I can remember. I’m also the go-to dog sitter for my sister’s two dogs, so I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets. I offer walks, drop-in visits, and dog sitting, always with plenty of attention and care. I currently work from home three days a week and in office two. The days in office vary per week. On the three days I work from home I’m available for walks throughout the day. I also can be available for boarding on most weekends. I'm able to stop by for a drop in visit, give your dog(s) a potty break and some loving interaction. I currently do not have pets of my own and live in a studio apartment in the River Market, surrounded by green space and a dog-friendly community.
“Deana was great with our Charley girl!! She was available last minute and took such good care or her!! She sent pictures and updates while we were on vacation which helped set my daughters mind at ease. We will definitely be using her again!”
“This was my 1st time having to find a service for boarding for my Snickers and Ms. Brandi not only took my request last minute but provided exceptional service and care for Snickers! Brandi and her husband were very accommodating and sent pictures and updates each day. My flight was delayed due to inclement weather and to extend the stay was allowed with understanding and no issues! I would definitely recommend Brandi to anyone and she will be my go to for any needs in the future! Thank you!”
“Samantha was amazing and watched my cat for a few hours before a flight while I was home for the holidays. It was a last minute request and she answered and coordinated with me quickly and efficiently. She’s friendly, professional and close to the airport. Would definitely recommend boarding with Samantha!”
“Dominic and his team at home took great care of Maddie. She came home worn out from all the playing with the other dogs. They have a great yard for outdoor playtime and plenty of beds all around (and a lap or two).”
“Erin was great! She was incredibly responsive and made me feel at ease while I was away. I loved getting daily updates and pictures. She clearly took great care of my pet and treated them like her own. I would highly recommend Erin to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter. I’ll definitely be using her services again!”
“Jill and her family were fantastic watching our pup for the weekend. She provided frequent updates with pictures and quick responses. Jill has two dogs of her own that are wonderful and great with other dogs. I knew our dog Maggie was safe and very happy for the weekend.”
“Second time Louie has stayed with Michelle and Bradley. He loves being there, is well cared for and enjoys their dog, Joni. Michelle and Bradley are clear communicators and great representatives of Rover.”
“Rhiannon was absolutely wonderful with Eloise, especially given it was a long stay on short notice. We so appreciated her care so we could travel knowing our sweet, high-energy girl was in great hands.”
“Nicole was wonderful! She provided excellent communication throughout our trip and sent photos, which gave me great peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our dog was well cared for, and having fun. In fact, when he came home, he cried because he missed his new friends and the environment he had grown so attached to. We couldn’t ask for a better indication of how happy and comfortable he was in her care. Highly recommend!”
“Ben and Cassie were fantastic! They sent pictures and updates each day and truly allowed Nellie to be a part of the family for a week. Thank you!”
“Savannah was a great sitter for our puppy. She was always quick to respond, sent us pictures and updates and loved taking her on walks. Would recommend anyone who needs good care.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Kansas City
Christine was absolutely wonderful with Bongo! She was incredibly attentive and provided thoughtful, meaningful updates throughout his stay, along with the cutest photos. It was clear that Bongo felt comfortable with her and settled in right away, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely be booking with Christine again in the future. Highly recommend!
Savannah was a lifesaver for a last-minute booking! I’d never used boarding before and was really nervous, but she made me feel at ease pretty quickly. I even forgot a few things for my dog, and she had everything covered. She sent updates with photos and always responded quickly when I texted. If you’re nervous about boarding like I was, I can’t recommend Savannah enough!
Katelynn was very good with communication. We appreciated that she was able to help with Buddy last minute. We don’t just leave him with anybody, we are happy we found a great sitter for his personality while visiting KC! We would book with her again if in the area .
Malavika is top notch! She is kind, accommodating, and cares about her clients - both human and feline! She went out of her way, at the last minute, to house our 2 kitties while we were traveling cross country and we appreciate her so much. I recommend her to anyone and give her an A+ rating! Thank you Malavika!

There are 1,126 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Kansas City. About 92% of Kansas City sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be.

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
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.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in MO ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
