“I was not sure what I expected out of this but even if I had the highest hopes, Chanay is incredible!! The weight this takes off of me is huge, it certainly is a dopamine jolt that gets me through my 13 hour work days… truly amazing”

Dustin B.

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life, and animals hold a special place in my heart . I’m currently a Pre-Veterinary student at the University of Central Missouri, and for the past five years, I’ve worked as a veterinary assistant at Pleasant Hill Animal Clinic, where my dad is a veterinarian. I’ve also been pet sitting for the past two years, caring for pets of all ages—from playful 10-month-old to sweet 12-year-old seniors. I have experience administering medications, including insulin injections for diabetic dogs, and I always make sure each pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for. I truly consider the dogs I care for as part of my extended family, and I can’t wait to meet your furry best friend and give them the same love and attention I’d give my own. I currently work part-time as a veterinary assistant, and I’m typically available every day except Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday. On those days, I occasionally have morning or afternoon availability, and I’m always available after 6 PM. I offer in-home care, boarding, and drop-in visits. Even on my busiest days, I always have a lunch break, so I’m never away from pets in my care for more than six hours at a time. Your pet’s comfort and well-being are my top priority, and I strive to provide dependable, loving care at all times. I have a fully fenced yard and one friendly Great Dane who can be easily kenneled or separated as needed. My home also features a dedicated, dog-proofed room that’s perfect for free roaming and playtime. Whether your pup prefers quiet relaxation or active engagement, I’m able to provide a safe, comfortable, and enriching environment tailored to their needs.

About: I have always had a dog whether it was multiple growing up or having my own the last 3 years. I love spoiling dogs and making his or her day! I work full-time but love making time for my dog and other dogs! I am available on the weekends and have a flexible schedule during the week. I have a fenced backyard and a spoiled girl who loves playing with other dogs! My dog is crate trained and have the option to crate your dog too if needed.

About: Hey there everyone. I’m a lover of all animals. I am a bunny mom of 4 years. We also have a dog and recently got a kitten. I love hanging out with all the different animals and fur babies. I’ve been told I’m an animal whisperer. Animals that tend to shy away from others always come to me. I am a seasonal rover sitter. I am a marine biology major at the University of Oregon. So I am available during summer and winter break. I am comfortable with all ages of animals and can care for them to your specific needs. I have cared for big and small dogs. I’ll be happy to clean litter boxes, and play with all your babies.

About: Growing up with dogs ever since I was kid has exposed me to the wide range of responsibilities. I also fostered dogs for 2 years before relocating to our new home! Friends, family, and colleagues have all trusted me to care for their pets. Pet care fits into our daily routine just like caring for our child. Our pups are younger, meaning they're energetic and require exercise (and lots of treats!) Our home consists of two loving moms, an animal loving 8 year old, and 2 energetic/playful pups! We spend most of our time playing in the fenced in backyard - where the zoomies are frequently had - but also enjoy the occasional fur baby snuggles when they tire out.

About: I have taken care of animals by volunteering at the Kansas City pet project as well as fostering animals. I love being around animals and making sure they are well taken care of. I am taking two summer classes, Tuesday and Thursdays 9:15 am- 11:15 am. Other than that, I am available all days other than the dates marked off on the calendar. I care for pets by making sure they are let out when they need to be, making sure they are fed, and by giving them plenty of love!

“Stacy was wonderful with communication and taking care of our doggie that has a little anxiety! Will definitely book again when I go out of town!”

About: In the past several years, I have cared for neighbors and family members dogs while out of town. I love spending that quality time with the pup when they’re not able to receive the love from their owners. I currently work part time from my home and part time in office, so I have flexibility. I have a 30 lb dog that will need to meet your dog first of course if your pup is coming to my home. My Dexter is a Boston Terrier/Beagle mix. I have a fenced yard for pups to run and play. I also have a dog of my own that can play with yours. I am more than happy to crate your pet if you’d like. If I leave the house at all, I will crate the pet.

About: What sets me apart from others is I will try to go that extra mile for your babies. I know how difficult it is to leave them at home. *PLEASE INCLUDE KENNEL IN BOARDING PROCESS!* I am a full time employee at Marshalls and my schedule is everywhere! I request if you are needing services it be two weeks in advance so I have time to dispute it with my job and get the hours or time off. I’m very flexible as long as you bend with me. If you are looking to book boarding please note that your animals may be left in a kennel for 2-4 hours alone. I come home on lunch break so that’s the 2-4 hour, my husband works from home on Mondays and Fridays so the only time alone would be on Tuesdays, Wednesday, Thursdays. I am offering every possible thing Rover will let me besides training. I will listen to everything you tell me to take care of your fur baby! I am very passionate about taking care of animals.

About: I have always been my neighbors/families #1 contact for pet sitting/house sitting. I have about 2 years experience working in pet care professionally at a boarding facility where i care the dogs as well as watch over daycare ranging from tiny to giant pups! I work at a boarding and daycare facility for dogs, where I watch over daycare among many other things. I also have 3 dogs of my own that I care for everyday! At home I have a senior pup who needs lots of care and attention everyday. As well as two younger pups who need constant attention and love. At work I also care for pups of any age from as young as they come to a senior pup who needs compassion, and comfort. I can administer basic first aid for pups, I have been professionally trained to administer any specialized care needed, with proper instruction. (any meds, insulin, etc)

About: I have found passion in being kind and loving to every dog I meet. I've noticed I'm naturally great at bonding with dogs and gently helping with training. What better way to fill my cup than by spending time with animals while helping people feel confident their pets are truly cared for? I currently have a Jack Russell–Beagle mix named JT, adopted at age six, who I’ve helped adjust to stairs, car rides, and a daily routine that includes dog park visits. Before him, I shared 10 incredible years with Stewart — my soul dog — who joined me for road trips, everyday life, and miles of running together. Stewart’s presence in my life shaped not just my love for animals, but how I love them: deeply, patiently, and fully present. Thanks to him, I learned how to safely run with dogs of all sizes, and I’m happy to offer that same high-energy care for dogs who love to move fast! And before that was Hoagie, our loyal family dog of 17 years, who sparked my lifelong love for animal companionship and helped me understand what it means to share a true emotional bond with a pet. Even earlier in life, I grew up with a dog named Ubar — my childhood companion — who was lovingly cared for by my father until I was 13. Watching him gently care for Ubar left a lasting impression and taught me what it means to show patience and respect to animals. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to seniors needing gentler attention. As a teacher, I bring calm energy, structure, and clear communication to every interaction. Whether your dog needs exercise, affection, or quiet companionship, I treat each pet like they’re my own. I truly understand the emotions that come with leaving your dog — because pets are family. I know they’ll miss you, and that’s why I show up as the happy, trusted visitor who brings them comfort, fun, and love in your absence. I’ll always go above and beyond to give you peace of mind and make sure your pet feels safe, seen, and cared for. I’m currently off for the summer, which means I have full availability for pet care — especially daytime walks and drop-in visits. This is the perfect time for me to give your pet consistent attention, playtime, and companionship while I build a strong routine with these services. As I build my Rover presence, I’m offering discounted rates for my first few clients. Just reach out and let’s chat! As the school year begins, I’ll continue to offer evening and weekend availability, along with care during school holidays. I'm currently focusing on getting drop-in visits and walks running smoothly and will always do my best to work around your pet’s needs and your schedule. When I care for pets in their own home, I treat the space with the same respect I would want for mine. I follow all instructions closely — from feeding schedules to gate locks — and take time to learn your pet’s routine so they feel comfortable and secure. I do love to be outside and play with our pups if they won't leash walk as well. We will spend the time together! I make sure doors are locked, leashes are secure, and that your pet is never rushed or overwhelmed. I build trust by being consistent, calm, and communicative. Whether it's a walk or a drop-in, I always take time to greet your pet with warmth and patience so they feel safe while you're away. I also send updates and photos, so you know your pet is happy and well cared for. My goal is to create a positive, low-stress experience — one where your pet feels loved, and you feel peace of mind.

Being reliable is important -knowing your pets are not just safe but well loved while you travel brings another level of peace of mind.

About: I've taken care of dogs most of my life! I grew up with multiple childhood dogs and have been dogsitting for other people's dog's since I was a teen. The past three years, my husband and I have raised two puppies of our own and have loved every moment! My availability varies, but my schedule is pretty flexible as I create my own hours for my job and can work remotely often and would love to spend my free time taking care of your furry friends! Your dog would feel so loved and taken care of in my home! We prioritize snuggles and play time here. Our two Labrador retrievers absolutely love having new pups to play with as well!

About: This is my first official venture in pet care. I have helped watch pets for friends and family. I grew up in the country and have always had dogs, cats, horses, cows, and burrows. Now I am a mom with two wild children. I have nannied for a family in the past and also cared for their pets. My background is in social work and am accustomed to making home visits. I have worked with all kinds of families and have seen how different families function. I want to care for your pet, how you would care for your pet. I have a part-time work from home job. I get my children on and off the bus. I have flexibility during the normal work week to help step in where needed. I have a fenced in large yard and a dog door. This allows the dogs to go in and out at will. We have one little dog currently. He does well with other dogs. We do have a crate if we need to put him in it.

About: My husband and I recently moved to KC and are looking for ways to give our dog some company and satisfy our love for additional dogs. We spend every minute with our 6 year old Lab/German Shepard, Mia, and treat her like our child! We have been thinking of getting another dog, so this role can fulfill our need/love for all the dogs and give our pup some company :) I enjoy taking our dog to the dog parks and dog bars, and fall in love with all the dogs I meet. My dog loves other dogs and would enjoy having another pup to run around with! We know how important it is to have your beloved pups taken care of when life gets busy so we wanted to be able to provide that for others ❤️ I work away from my home M-F, however when boarding at our home, my husband works from home, and is able to be with the dogs all day, everyday. Our dog roams the house as needed while we’re home, as well as while we’re gone. She loves to watch out the windows while we’re gone awaiting our return to greet us with love ❤️ We have a fenced in backyard that she claims her own!

About: I love taking care of my dogs and cats everyday. I have years of experience with taking care of my dogs and cats including grooming them, feeding them, taking them on walks, and loving on them. I would like to take care of your animals so that they do not feel lonely when you are away. My goal is to still make them feel loved when you are not able to look after them. I will look after them to the best of my abilities. On here, I will offer walking dogs, checking in on dogs and cats, grooming them, feeding them, and staying with them overnight under certain circumstances. However, it should be noted that I am a college kid that is currently enrolled in summer college courses. I am taking this to try to make some money to further my education. This will still not stop me from putting your pets well-being first Pet care will have to take priority after my schooling. I am usually in school from 7am to 3pm every weekday. All other times are free for me I have had plenty of experience walking, feeding, giving medication, and caring for dogs. This is because I had elderly dogs that needed constant care.
