“Paula is friendly and so knowledgeable. Her dogs were great playmates for my dog, so I got a happy, tired out pup when I came for pick up. Paula was flexible with me on drop off and pick up times due to icy roads - I really appreciated her kind demeanor and quick communication.”

“I had a great experience with Chelsea. She has excellent communication and kept me updated regularly with messages and pictures. It gave me a lot of peace of mind knowing my dog was in good hands. Highly recommend!”

“Daniel was a knight in shining armor for our family. Our original sitter had a family emergency and we had a flight to catch. Daniel was accommodating and made my pup feel at home with lots of walks and belly rubs. Daniel and his family will definitely be our go to for pet sitting!”


“Ron is great with Mima! She is a senior and isn't usually very comfortable staying away from me but every time I take her to Ron's house she walks in without looking back! Leaving her with Ron gives me peace and everytime I pick her up she is happy. :) Whenever we need boarding for Mima, Ron is right at the top of our list! Thank you so much, Ron!!”

“Manisha and her family take care of Blue like he is their own. That puts me at ease knowing he is loved and taken care of when I am away. He is always happy to see them!”

“Highly recommend! Our dog had a great time at their home. Aundrea sent frequent updates, including video and pictures which really helped us feel at ease. We could see that he was really enjoying himself with their family and staying very active, playing and going for walks.”


“We couldn't be happier with Andy's care for our two dogs during our time away! Our elderly pomeranian, who has limited mobility and decreased vision, requires extra attention and patience, and Andy provided just that. She was incredibly thoughtful and meticulous in making sure our senior pup was comfortable and happy, even going the extra mile when he wasn't eating very well. She worked with him to ensure he got the nutrition he needed, which really eased our minds. Our 1-year-old puppy also had a blast with Andrea, and we could see from the daily updates and photos she sent that both dogs were well-loved and cared for. We truly appreciated the time and attention she gave to each of them, and the peace of mind she provided us while we were away. We wholeheartedly trusted Andrea with both of our dogs, and we will definitely be reaching out to her again the next time we need a sitter. Highly recommend her!”

“I can’t remember how many times Scotch has visited his “cousins” now but he absolutely loves his second family - which is what I’m 100% comfortable calling Morgan and her crew with how well cared for our furkid always is in their family’s care! He loves a trip to Morgan’s farm!”

“Our golden stayed with Halyley and Graham for a week, and clearly had a wonderful time. We appreciated the daily photos and reports, and had total confidence that Piccolo was in good loving hands. Thanks, you guys! We'll contact you again.”

“Christopher and Angela were excellent! We were gone a week out of country and everyday we received several photos, videos and updates. I started getting excited for my phone to buzz with new pictures of their activities! It felt like pups had gone to summer camp because I think they were having as much fun as I was. All in all,they made me feel like my pups were their number 1 priority. I would highly recommend them! I would give them 6 stars if I could! :)”

“Christina and her pack are wonderful! A lovely family and friendly Dogs. You can see they are totally dedicated to their pets and visiting pets. Nigel was well cared for and I did not worry about him a bit. I highly recommend them and hope to use them again in the future.”

About: It’s hard to find someone to trust to watch your fur babies. I’m hoping to give you peace of mind when you are away. I can be flexible to a pet’s needs including exercise, socialization, potty schedule and medication regiments. I can’t think of a time in my life we didn’t have animals. As a child I wanted to be a Veterinarian. I worked at an animal hospital for a few years in my early 20’s. It was a great experience. I live close to a dog park and Forest Park or will take your dog on a run if needed. Also, there is also an emergency vet clinic nearby; just in case. A daily check in can be provided including photos. I look forward to meeting you and your fur baby!! I work from home so my pet routine with Lilly and Winston grounds me. Especially for morning and evening feedings and daily walks. As they are getting older our activity has slowed but I’m ready to meet the exercise levels for any pet that I’m sitting. I have a fenced yard with two friendly dogs. I have been working with animals nearly my whole life so adding new animals to our pack is second nature.

About: I’m just a dog lover who enjoys taking walks a few times a week. I’ve had rescues my entire life, so I have my own personal experience with animals. I currently have a almost 4 year old, shy, rescue that we have been working on confidence building with. I work a full-time job, so I’m looking to fit in boarding on the weekends and holidays. I'm open for long term boarding as well. I live in apartment, but we take our dogs on walks to get their energy out and supplement the lack of a yard where we can. My dogs are spoiled and happy. We do also have a doggy run in our complex that we can use as well. I would be the sole caretaker for your pup.
“Gage was absolutely great to work with. He took great care of our Boston Terrier Sasha. We received timely updates about Sasha every single day. This was our first time on Rover and we lucked out with Gage. Such a kind and caring person. Sasha came back happy, very playful and in a great mood. I highly recommend Gage and his pet-sitting services.”


“This was our first time leaving a member of our family in someone else’s care. Since it was a five night stay and our dog is extremely affectionate and loves being around people, we were a little nervous at first. But Juan took such great care of her and made us feel completely at ease. We’re so happy that she now has another place where she can feel safe and comfortable. We would absolutely trust Juan to take care of our family again and would love to have her watch her in the future. Thank you so much, Juwan!”

“Lyssette was extremely communicative, and my pup loved her and her dog. Her yard is huge, Valkyrie had the run of the whole downstairs and was super happy. Will definitely use her again!”

“Such a caring family that really cares about the pups that stay with them. Can’t say enough good things about how well they looked after our dog Jack! Thank you so very much!!”

“Mark was great! I know Kiko has a good time at Mark's place because his tail starts wagging when we walk up to the door. Mark has been extremely flexible and accommodating. I wouldn't hesitate to use Mark again.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Kansas City home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Kansas City.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Kansas City sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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 OR ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
