“Briley was amazing. She was conscientious with our senior dog and coaxed him into taking his many pills. Our little rescue who doesn’t like most people let her guard down with Briley and made a new friend! She followed all our instructions to a T and we will hopefully be having her back soon!”
“So thankful they were able to take care of our dog, who was on medication, while we were out of town for over a week. It was a last minute need as our boarding facility was not able to take our pup. They made the transition as smooth as possible and everything worked out great!”
About: Nice to meet you, I'm Kat! I have been working in the pet industry since early 2019 - beginning as a kennel attendant, evolving into a professional dog trainer in two prominent KC training facilities, and now running my own small business. I am thoroughly versed in canine care and communication, and use my expertise to help every dog I care for have a comfortable and positive experience. Not only that, but I am also very knowledgeable in canine enrichment and stimulation. Have a high-energy, high-needs breed? They'll end their days with me happy and tired. A senior dog that has special needs and benefits from therapeutic stretches? Say no more. Puppies are absolutely welcome as well, and I would love to provide them with opportunities to practice socialization, confidence building, and manners. My experience also means that I am able to care for dogs with behavioural issues and special health needs. I know it can be difficult to find care for dogs with "quirks," and I hope to make that search a little easier. Send me a message and we can chat about your dog and if I would be a good fit. I'm looking forward to meeting your pup! ** I do have a part-time job that takes up much of my time on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. This doesn't mean that I'm totally unavailable those days, but we'll need to chat to make sure that my schedule works for your pet. 🙂 The pets I work with are my priority! I want to make sure that my schedule allows me to look after your furry family members' needs. I do work long hours on weekends - but sometimes this can be flexible. We'll have a thorough chat before you book to make sure that your pets will get all of the attention they need and the love they deserve. Dogs, cats, and exotic pets are all welcome 🐶🐱🐍🐹🦜🐠 Your house, your rules! Before the booking, you & I will have a detailed conversation about your pets' schedule, rules, needs, and preferences. I am happy to follow all of that to a T! My job is to keep your pets happy and safe while you are away. With 7 years of pet care experience, I am confident in caring for all of their needs. This includes pets with behavioral concerns and special needs! For walks and other adventures, I will always keep your dog leashed and close to me. I love to take dogs out on excursions to parks, trails, and other such places, but I will always check with you first to make sure that we don't go somewhere your dog doesn't enjoy. Updates will be sent daily, as well as pictures and videos. I look forward to meeting your furry friends. (Scaled or feathered friends welcome, too!)
“Erika is a dog whisperer! She navigated my youthful pup and senior dog with such care and attention. I felt so confident being able to hike and explore while my two dogs were well cared for. Erika provided great communication on arrival and departure, and I loved the pup picture updates. Very responsible and trustworthy too. Overall I highly recommend Erika for overnight dog visits. A+ experience.”
About: I have always loved dogs and grew up with my own and truly enjoy taking care of them. I'm dependable, attentive, and experienced with petsitting, I will treat your animals like family. I work full time, but have a flexible enough schedule to care for your pets. I am very willing to negotiate a flexible schedule to meet you and your pets needs. I am free in the evenings and weekends! I would prefer staying at my clients home. I have found that this is easier for the pet to be comfortable in their own home and space.
“Sarah is the best house sitter. I'm so excited to have her watch my pups and home while away. I completely trust her with everything. It's really nice to have an established home sitter.”
“Conner was a great sitter. He took good care of our "Piper". He had to deal with Piper's anxiety and resource guarding issues, so big kiddos for that. Conner also communicated well while we were out of town. We would definitely use him again.”
“Tia is awesome!! She and our dogs got along great. We had easy communication and received daily messages with photos about their daily activities together. Tia even did some training with Gracie. Also, the house was immaculate. Tia is very sweet, clearly loves dogs and she was committed to doing a wonderful job while we were on vacation.”
“Kyle was fantastic with our two larger dogs and our aloof cat! He was super responsive and kept us in the loop on the happenings around our house while he house/petsat the weekend. Would definitely rebook him again!”
“Meagan is the best- I am SO lucky we found her to watch our dogs while on vacation. She did such a great job taking care of our high energy dogs and they loved her. It was a relief to know they were in her hands! Meagan is responsible, clean, communicative, and so so kind!!!! 10000/10 will book with her again.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 588 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Kickapoo. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Kickapoo walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Kickapoo maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Kickapoo choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 , 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 .
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
