“I needed recurring visits & Arrica was more than helpful with my dog! She truly saw my dog as her own & took wonderful care of him. Will be booking with her again if I need someone to drop in on him!”
“Theresa is a superstar!! We mistakenly gave her a key that didn’t work and she went above and beyond to get the correct key while we were out of town. Felt terrible that we had made such a big mistake but she was very reassuring that she wasn’t going to give up on our pets. She sent us a bunch of sweet pictures every day and a very detailed update that left us feeling at ease and sure that our pets were safe, cared for, and getting lots of attention. Great communication from start to finish, we felt like she took care of our little ones as well or better than friends/family!”
“Mya was great! She took on a last minute booking and it couldn't have gone more smoothly. Jax and Ruby seemed to like her and Peach actually came out of hiding when Mya was there! I would 10/10 recommend Mya for any pet needs!!!”
“Jessica was great. Super prompt, very communicative, really considerate, and Pepper loved hanging out with her in SF. Thanks for being so nice to my little pup!”
“Rachel is great, I've booked with her many times! She always makes a point of giving our cats lots of love, even our shy kitty. Rachel will take great care of your pets!”
About: Things I love: working out, basketball, Jesus, traveling, cooking, coffee, public education, and DOGS! I have lived in KC for 10 years and finally got my puppy, Lola, in May of 2025! 🐶 I work during the days Monday - Friday, but my schedule is more flexible during the summer months. I am available most evenings and weekends! I live downtown in a condo on the first floor. There is a grassy area right outside my back door. I am close to dog parks and enjoy going for walks around my neighborhood.
“Couldn’t ask for a better experience trusting someone to look after my tiny pupper. I very much appreciated the detailed notes and pictures to show me how everything is going!”
About: My love for animals started growing up with an English Cream Golden Retriever, where I learned the responsibility and joy of caring for a family pet. Over the past 20+ years, friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, and care for their pets. I have experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and breeds, and I treat every animal with the same patience, attention, and care I would give my own. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they're in my care. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home and have a flexible schedule. Caring for animals gives me the opportunity to get outside, stay active, and do something I genuinely love. Since I spend much of my workday behind a computer, walking and spending time with animals is a refreshing and rewarding part of my day. I treat every pet with patience, attention, and care, and I truly enjoy building trust with both pets and their owners. When caring for a pet in a client’s home, I always follow the owner’s instructions closely and respect their routine. I make sure pets have fresh water, exercise, attention, and a safe environment at all times. I treat every home with professionalism and care, keeping it clean and secure while providing updates so owners can feel confident and comfortable knowing their pet is in good hands.
“Sharon was the best pet sitter! When our litter box had some issues & our cats had a couple of accidents, she was so understanding & patient. She seriously went above & beyond with caring for our cats. I would recommend Sharon to anyone looking for a pet sitter. 10/10”
“Chris stopped by took my puppy out to potty, walked her around the block, and played with her. She also sent my pictures and videos. Already booked another drop-in visit for next week.”
About: Caring for dogs has always been a big part of my life, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. Whether it’s going on walks, playing, or just relaxing and giving lots of cuddles, I make sure your dog feels right at home. I’m reliable, patient, and committed to making your pet feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I am not currently working so my availability is open to care for your pets either in my home or yours. I am home all day most days unless it is to run out to grab my children from school. I have experience with crate training if that is preferred. I also have a large backyard for your pup to run around. I have experience with all age ranges (from puppies to elderly dogs)
“Chris was amazing and I was so happy my Katie girl did so great considering it was my first time using Rover! Chris made me feel so comfortable and sent the cutest photos of Katie and her bestie cats. I’m so pleased and can’t wait to have Chris again when I am needing help!”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up caring for dogs, cats, horses, goats, chickens, and turkeys, which gave me hands-on experience with animals of all kinds from a young age. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs for family, friends, and neighbors, gaining experience with everything from puppy potty and crate training to feeding, walking, bathing, administering basic care, and providing lots of love and attention. I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels, and I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I'm currently working part time, so I have plenty of time within my days to love and care for your fur babies while your're unable to! I have a fenced yard with lots of other friendly dogs that are always eager to have another playmate! Between crate training, potty training, or walks with your pup I am able and willing to do it all!
About: I've taken care of dogs, cats, and any other animal you can think of. I've owned animals my whole life and often volunteer at local shelters I'm currently unemployed, so I have plenty of time to care for any sweet babies. I go to the dog park 5 days a week for at least an hour. I also go on 30-45-minute walks with my boys. I have two boys; one is a puppy. They're both great with other animals. I have a puppy-proofed house with plenty of room, toys, and treats for any babies.
“Jonathan was great with Ghost. Jonathan used to pet sit for me when we both lived in Tulsa so I was very excited that he moved up to Kansas City. He is incredibly professional and great with my cats and dogs.”
About: Good with animals, patient, kinds, and fun. know how to feel their "energy" to match, connect, and respond. I am an animal person so can connect with most any pets :) I am an engineer but that's can get boring so like to add some soft jobs like taking care of pets. Pet for me is therapy and I thank you for lending me your pet. Also, I'm a Harvard graduate so your pets may become smarter around me (kidding). I care for client's space and when they return my presence is not noticeable because I take such good care to keep things in order, clean, and neat! And of course, give pets the space they need and play with them, but clean up after.
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Kansas City is €20
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Kansas City
My anxious cat warmed up so quickly to Jasmine during her drop-in visits with him. She helped him feel safe enough to play, have his tail up, and show his belly in under a week! I found him happy and healthy after my trip away and would definitely recommend her to anyone needing help with their furry loved ones.
Lindsay did a fantastic job looking after my two kitties, one of which needs insulin shots twice a day! Her communication was impeccable, which gave me peace of mind during my long 20 day absence. She was also quick to reach out for instruction & helpful in suggesting solutions when a couple of issues came up around the home that needed attention. Lindsay is reliable, friendly & trustworthy. I recommend her 100% & will definitely use her services again in the future!
Jessica is not only our dogs trainer, but she jumped in last minute to let watch our dogs and cat while we had to leave town for a funeral. By the looks on our pets faces she did an AMAZING job and we will continue to have her work with our pets to ensure we have a cohesive “pack”.
Keesha was so amazing! She checked in and gave a detailed update everyday. She even bought greg a new toy to play with <3 she met with me prior to meet greg and i could tell from her questions that she genuinely wanted to provide quality care for greg and im so thankful for that. she’s the best!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Kansas City is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $31 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 2,625 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Kansas City. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Kansas City. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
