“We had a great experience! She was able to help us out last minute, and we couldn’t be more thankful. She took wonderful care of our dogs and even helped with our cows while we were away. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing all of our animals were in good hands. She was reliable, easy to communicate with, and made the whole process stress-free. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter and will definitely be using her again!”

“Monet is always fantastic. We have a high-demand home with an elderly cat, 2 younger cats, a play obsessed 10yr old dog, and a husky (you all know that chaos). Everyone is on different foods and different meds. Monet always takes great care for everyone while we are gone (week long house/pet sitting).”

About: I had my sweet Sparky for over 17 years and glad to walk my sweet granddog now. I read to my granddog so that’s fun! I would like to give lots of pets, walks, and attention to yours! I recently retired for the second time. Former librarian and kind of the caretaker-type (I even read the book SnugglePuppy to my granddog!) I have time these days and while not wanting to have a full time pet, would like to help you take care of yours! I have a fenced in backyard so can let your dog in/out as needed. Enjoy taking walks-in my neighborhood or let me know if we can walk on the Legacy Park trail as it is close to my house and I take my granddog there when I watch her!
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and have over 5 years of experience caring for them. I’m confident with all breeds, sizes, and energy levels. Whether your pup needs walks, playtime, or just a cuddle buddy while you’re away, I’ll treat them like family. I’m also comfortable with feeding routines, crate training, and keeping them safe, happy, and loved at all times. I’m a local property manager, just minutes from home, so I can drop in during lunch breaks, after work, and on weekends. I take my own dog to the park every evening for about two hours so he can play and socialize—your pup can join the fun if you’d like! I’m fully available after noon on Fridays and completely free on weekends for boarding, walks, or drop-ins. I treat every dog like family and make sure they feel safe, loved, and entertained. I care for every dog as if they’re my own. While I don’t have a fenced yard, I always take dogs out on leash for potty breaks and walks. Inside my home, pets have a safe, clean, and calm space to relax and feel comfortable. I do have one puppy of my own—he’s super loving and playful, and I always make sure visiting dogs are comfortable and properly introduced. When caring for dogs in their own home, I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding routines, crate preferences, and walk schedules. I also send regular updates and photos so you always know how your dog is doing. Safety, trust, and comfort are always my top priorities.
About: I have nine years of professional dog sitting care experience. But I have been dog sitting family and friends dogs for much longer. Through the years I have cared for dogs of all ages. I began my dog sitting career caring for two elderly pups with anxiety and trauma backgrounds, so medication and diapers were a regular part of their care. Since then I have cared for high energy puppies, middle age pups with health concerns, and young at heart elderly dogs with regular medication. I have another career that allows me to work from home so I can stay with your sweet dog throughout the day. I also do doggy daycare in your home, spending quality time with your dog if you are needing to be gone long hours. Unfortunately I do not care for cats, dogs with aggressive tendencies, or dog-sit in my own home. Also I do not take dogs to dog parks unless there is a long built relationship and trust. I require a meet and greet at the home before time of service to make sure that everyone/dog feels safe and comfortable. I have another career allowing me to work from home, so I am available most times of the day. I also provide pet care on the weekends and some holidays. I do not provide pet care in my home. So while dog sitting in your home I provide the same care you would provide if you were home with your fur family member. One of the things I appreciate about dog sitting, is it allows dogs to stay in their own safe environment and routine, keeping them healthy and happy. For doggy daycare, I provide time of play, walks if needed, and hopefully lots of snuggles.
About: I grew up on a farm with many pets, have worked in a dog training center, worked in a pet boarding hotel and I have been an animal care specialist for the past few years at the Kansas City Zoo! I have worked with a very wide variety of pets & animals of all different ages. I currently am a full time animal care specialist at the KC zoo! In my free time I love meeting new pets, training animals and spending time with my corgi! I have a flexible schedule during my weekends as well as most early mornings or evenings. I am primarily looking for dogs to take on walks and pet check ins, will consider house sitting/boarding once familiar with the pet & family! I have been working with a wide variety of animals for many years & have studied animal behavior at the college level! I am a very outgoing and loving person towards all pets. My whole life revolves around my corgi and I’d love for part of my life to revolve around your pets as well!

“Kate was amazing!! She checked in often and sent photos of my dogs daily! Dolly is usually timid of people but she was really comfortable with Kate! She stayed at my home and was with them majority of the time! They had constant care and attention. When I returned she started laundry for the bedding and towels, and left everything spotless! It doesn’t even look like she was here which is such a blessing to come back to a clean home! I would recommend to anyone looking for a sitter!”

About: Matt and I have taken care of our dog for 7 years now. Matt also has experience volunteering at Wayside Weifs for over 3 years. We feel that having two dog/cat/animal sitters is incredibly helpful especially for more than one animal so we can maximize the amount of time spent with each pet. We want the animals to have all of our attention and feel loved, welcomed and cared for. We do NOT charge an extra fee for there being two of us, it’s one flat fee, which what’s better than that? :) We also watch my sisters dog frequently while she’s at work and when she is out of town. We absolutely love animals especially dogs. (Cats, birds, rabbits.. you name it!) We have worked on Wag , the dog walking site for a little over a year and we are really wanting to expand into watching dogs during the day/evening and overnight while you are away, working or just need a night out and want your dog safe, loved and looked after! I want to say I am very SORRY if my response to people looks low I just started last month and some how my app glitched and I was not getting people requests therefore it looked as if I didn’t want to respond or take the job. I just now am seeing them, we feel terrible. We are just excited to get started FOR real this time hope to hear from you, willing to even give a discount for what my communication rating looks like! Thanks for understanding! We both currently work from home at the moment and part time. We would be available whenever you need someone! We would be happy to watch your dog at your house or ours and since we are home during the day we will be able to always have a close eye on your pet.
About: I understand that your pets are family. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I offer pet sitting, house sitting, dog walking, drop-in visits, feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, waste cleanup, playtime, companionship, medication administration (if needed), and lots of love and attention tailored to your pet’s routine. Whether you have energetic dogs, independent cats, or multiple pets, I’m committed to making them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own home. I’m reliable, trustworthy, and treat every home with the same respect I would my own. I believe in clear communication and will gladly provide updates and photos so you can see how your pets are doing while you’re away. Because I am a full-time online student, my schedule is incredibly flexible, allowing me to make pet sitting my top priority. Unlike a traditional 9-to-5 job where I would be away from the house all day, my school structure allows me to work entirely from home on my own terms. This means I have ample open blocks of time throughout the day dedicated solely to pet care. I can easily accommodate structured feeding times, frequent potty breaks, and mid-day play sessions without interruption. Your pets will receive consistent companionship, and because I'm studying from my laptop, I am available to provide the constant supervision, love, and attention they deserve." When caring for pets in your home, my primary goal is to maintain their regular routine so they feel safe and secure while you are away. Seamless Routine Adherence: I strictly follow your established feeding schedules, medication timelines, and specific instructions to keep their environment predictable and stress-free. Meticulous Cat Care: As a multi-cat owner myself, I know the importance of a clean environment. I scoop litter boxes thoroughly during every visit and sweep up any tracked litter. Quality Companionship: Because my full-time student schedule is so flexible, I don't just rush in and out. I dedicate genuine time to interactive playtime with their favorite toys, gentle grooming, or just quiet companionship on the couch while I study. Home Respect & Communication: I respect your space, leave it exactly as I found it, and provide you with detailed daily updates and plenty of photos so you never have to wonder how they are doing.
About: I’ve had dogs all my life since I was a kid. Always been a kindred spirit with them. I’ve always owned big dogs (Weimaraners), but love dogs of all shapes and sizes. I am happy to be active with your dog or just cuddle up with them. My last baby had arthritis so I’m experienced with providing injections as well as oral medication administration. I work full time M-F but have flexibility in my schedule. I can adjust my schedule as needed. My weekends are completely open to spending time with your pet or taking them to a park. I have a large fenced backyard for plenty of room for running around. There is also a paved walking trail behind my house which is perfect for long walks. My furniture is dog friendly for any pups that want to cuddle up on the couch.

“Just relocated to KC and needed a sitter on short notice. Elyssia was amazing with my 4 pups. I was very excited to find a vet tech available as 1 of my pups needed an injection while i was out of town. My pups loved her and were so tired from play when i got home. I would definitely use her again in the future.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Lake Annette
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 1,253 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Lake Annette. 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 Lake Annette 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 Lake Annette 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 Lake Annette 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 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.
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 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.
