“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!”
“Keesha was a great sitter! She was took amazing care of our 12 year old Maine Coon. The daily drop ins for food, water and treats was just what our grumpy old man needed during our quick weekend away. Daily updates/photos put our minds at ease knowing he was in great hands. Highly recommend Keesha to care for your fur baby! We 100% will be using her again soon!”
“Jessica is very nice and knowledgeable about dog behavior so I knew my boys were in good hands. It's freezing cold at home, but I knew I could still rely on her. The pictures at every visit kept my mind at ease. This was my first experience with Rover and Jessica was outstanding! So glad they got to stay home rather than some dumb kennel.”
“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!”
“Clove was willing to do a last minute booking for my puppy and responded promptly to my request. They did a great job with all of my instructions and Minnow seemed to be very calm around them. Thank you so much!”
About: I have tons of experience house/pet sitting for two large dogs and a cat. I also own two of my own cats who I love very much! I am a State Employee, and think of myself as almost overly-responsible. I am active and enjoy playing and walking with pets! I hope I get to meet your pets :) I work fulltime in Kansas City, Kansas. I am available after 5 pm M-TR and anytime after noon on Fridays. Weekends are completely available for me. I do not have a yard, but I do have tons of cat toys and treats. I have a small carrier that will accommodate cats and small dogs.
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.
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.
“Hired Sharon for a second time because of the great care she shows my pets. She is very reliable and communicates well and is always flexible. Will definitely hire her again!”
“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: Fully bilingual, with years of experience as a pet owner whether it is cats or dogs. Ready to care for kittens/puppies as well as senior cats and dogs. I volunteer at Animal Shelters once in a while. I'm currently working Full-Time but I look forward to caring for pets as much as I can on my days off and whenever possible before or after work. Walks, feeding, basic care and socialization. I can't provide boarding, I have a sweet and gentle black cat named Ozzy but he gets easily scared.
“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: I groom dogs as well as have an existing client base with pet sitting/dog walking. I also used to be a rabbit breeder and have general experience with many animals. I originally worked in a dog daycare/hotel and shifted to grooming after moving to PA My work/school schedule isn't consistent. But generally I'm awake between the hours of 5am-11pm with wake up times and sleep times varying around those marks. Whatever schedule your pup needs I'm able to accommodate. I have an extremely friendly and passive Corgi named Fiona and a friendly and playful Pomeranian named Victoria. I have have 2 cats but they are able to be separated if it's an issue for your friend.
“Monica’s visit went smoothly. She left photos instead of a description of care but the pictures told the story. She is easy to communicate with and responded to messages quickly.”
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.
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.
About: I was raised taking care of cats and dogs from the time I could walk. I recently moved to the area and I would love to spend some time with your animal. I currently work an 8-4 maybe a little longer on some days, so I would be able to stop in after I get home at four or anytime on the weekend! I will be able to come over for drop in visits and give your pets a potty break and some attention or anything that’s you need to make yourself and your animals more comfortable!

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.
