“Thank you MacKenzie for taking care of my cat Jenni-Girl. I contacted MacKenzie 2 days before my trip in a panic because my previous sitter was not available. She responded very quickly to my message and was very friendly. She sent me pictures and gave me detailed information about each visit which really put my mind at ease. Thank you so much for your excellent service! 5 stars all the way!”
“Maddie was excellent! She was patient when I had last minute issues, and was very accommodating. She treated my kitties like they were her own! I came home to very content and well-cared for kitties. 10/10 recommend and would hire again!”
About: I grew up on a farm with many dogs, cats, and other animals. In my adult life I have owned a cat, many dogs and a beta fish. I have worked and cared seniors, along with their animals, the last 6 years. I'm currently looking for a job so I have plenty of time to care for your animals. I am single with no children or animals at home so I have a lot of flexibility to come to you. I will follow whatever instructions you give to me to take care of your animals. Also if I am staying in your home, I will respect all of your rules.
“Emily was incredible. She made time to drop by and meet Lola, prior, to make sure she would be comfortable. She was right on time, took adorable pictures, and did a great job overall. Excited to find someone I can rely on and use again in the future.”
“Thank you Carolyn for taking such wonderful care of Gracie during my surgery. The loving kindness and attentive care that you gave her kept her so happy and secure while we were away. You are absolutely the best! Thank you for what you do for our precious fur babies,!”
“We came home from a nine day trip to our senior kitty happy and healthy. Thank you, Riley! She gave him his daily meds and made his food just the way he likes it. Pictures shows he got his required daily cuddles, too.”
About: Hi! I’m Rachel! I’ve been a dog person my entire life and have been watching dogs since I was 11. I have two dogs of my own, Wesley and Wally, and dogs truly are my best friends. 🥹🐾 I know how important it is to find someone you completely trust with your pup, so I’ll treat yours just like my own, with lots of love, patience, attention, cuddles, and playtime. I’m comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities and needs, including giving medications, following specific routines, and providing extra support when needed. I work remotely, so I’m home throughout the day and able to give your pup plenty of attention. Whether they’re energetic and ready to play or prefer a cozy day on the couch, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at. 🐶🧡 I’ll also keep you updated with pictures and little pup reports so you can relax knowing your baby is happy and well cared for. I’d love to meet your pup and become their new bestie! 🐾 I work remotely, which means I’m home with my dogs pretty much all day and am always attentive to their needs. Dogs are already a big part of my everyday routine, so caring for another pup fits right in! I love having a dog around to keep me company while I work, and I’m able to give them plenty of attention, potty breaks, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day. We have a spacious, fully fenced-in yard where the pups can safely run around and get some energy out, plus my two friendly dogs, Wesley and Wally, who love having a friend around! I’m also happy to accommodate whatever makes your pup feel most comfortable. If they’re crate trained and prefer their crate, we can absolutely do that. We even have a spare bedroom that can be their own little space if they’d rather have some quiet time away from the other dogs. My goal is for every dog to feel safe, comfortable, and at home here.
“Here’s a warm, Rio was absolutely wonderful! She took the time to come over and meet me and my cat before the booking. During each visit, she provided detailed notes that showed how well she cared for my kitty. It was clear she took her time and genuinely cared. I felt completely at ease knowing my cat was in great hands. I highly recommend Rio and will definitely be booking with her again!”
“I was concerned that my excitable and rather strong 90lb dog would be too much for her to handle, but she knocked it out of the park and gave us ease of mind. On introductory visit was also very attentive and brought a notebook to write down anything important so that the dog sitting would go smoothly. Definitely recommend.”
About: I have taken care of two German shepherds a handful of times. I also have experience with cats but not as much. I love animals and willing to be flexible. Always follow your guys rules and wishes. So I work: Monday, Wednesday, Thursday - 7:30am -4 pm Tuesdays - all day availability Friday - 7:30am - 1pm I’m pretty flexible with times. My nights are usually always open. I’m an early riser as well so I can possibly be there in the morning for a quick walk/visit. I handle them with love, care, and passion! I want animals but I’m not allowed to have them in my apartment. I’m always available to call and text. I’m good at communicating and rule following.
About: Hi 👋🏽 I’m 28 years old. I’ve loved animals my entire life and have had care giving experience since I was in high school (professionally speaking). I’ll be your baby’s biggest advocate and promise to tend to their needs whether it be cleaning up an oopsie to giving them cuddles. I say I’m willing to watch only medium to small dogs only because I’m 4’11! I love all shapes and sizes! I just wouldn’t want anything to happen to where I couldn’t be able to control a situation safely. For example, if the big puppy and I are going for a walk I don’t want to learn how to fly if he/she sees a squirrel! 😁 I’d love an opportunity to care for your babies. Feel free to ask any questions you may have. I’m currently on a sabbatical until December so my availability at this time is very open. I’m currently on a sabbatical until December so my availability is very open right now. I do an overnight schedule so I’m available from 3pm to 8 am. I’m willing to be flexible with this. Whatever your schedule is, whatever the rules, I’m willing to go the extra mile to make sure all needs are met! It’s very important to me that I show respect for other people’s homes as well as their fur babies.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats since I was younger than 10, with experience ranging from playful puppies to senior pets who need extra patience and attention. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and provide companionship for their pets. I’m comfortable with multiple breeds, different energy levels, and unique routines. My priority is keeping pets safe, happy, and loved while giving owners peace of mind. Whether it’s exercise, cuddles, or special care, I treat every pet like they’re my own. Hi, I’m Madeline! 🐾 I’m a stay-at-home mom to my sweet son, who recently started school, and I’m looking forward to filling my extra time with something I truly love: animals! I’ve always had a big heart for furry friends and believe every pet deserves patience, love, attention, and plenty of cuddles. 🐶🐱💕 As a pet parent myself, I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets. Whether your pup needs a walk, a potty break, playtime, or just some company while you’re away, I’m happy to help! My goal is to make your pets feel safe, loved, and cared for while giving you peace of mind. 🐾💗
About: Hi, I’m Allie — a lifelong animal lover with a soft spot for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Whether your furry friend is energetic and playful or needs a calm, patient presence, I adapt to their needs like they’re my own. What sets me apart? I go beyond the basics: I provide personalized care, constant communication (yes, expect lots of cute photo updates!), and a safe, loving environment where your pet can truly relax. I treat every animal with the same love and respect I’d give my own. From cuddles to long walks, I make sure your pet feels at home — even when you’re away. Let’s meet and see if it’s a paw-fect fit! I work Monday through Friday from 7:30 to 4:30, with two of those days remote. I also get an hour-long lunch break, which gives me time to check in or let your babe out mid-day if needed. I always do my best to keep your pet’s routine consistent and stress-free, even with my work schedule! Whether in your home or mine, I stick to your pet’s routine, give them lots of love, playtime, and care, and make sure they feel safe and happy while you’re away.
“Jennifer C. Was amazing with everything! Very punctual, professional and great with maintaining open communication. She was patient with our dog, who has lots of energy and tends to be anxious around new people, which put me at ease when away. She went above and beyond and we will definitely be using her again!”
“Heather was great with drop in care for our pups. Even got them out for a walk which was great! Prompt communication and great meet and greet. High recommend, will book with her again for our next trip”
“Our dogs love their visits from Kyle and we love knowing we have someone we can trust popping by to take care of them. Kyle is a great communicator and really helped us navigate our care needs.”
About: I have many years of experience working with animals. I also have a BS in Rehabilitation Services Education. I am a foster for several rescues in the KC and Springfield area. I love all animals and will take great care of yours! I am available any time. Set up your date and times at least three days in advance, cancellations three days in advance as well. Thanks. I am able to provide care in your home overnight or during the day. Whatever your pet needs are, I will be there for them.
About: I am a retired police dispatcher and have a squeaky clean background. I love all animals! I provide calm, reliable care and treat every dog like part of the family while they’re with me. I know how important it is for pet parents to feel comfortable leaving their dog with someone they trust, so I focus on safety, communication, and making pets feel at home. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or sticking to a dog’s normal routine, I make sure each pet gets personalized attention and care. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I’m retired and have a very flexible schedule. I’m home often, which allows me to give dogs plenty of attention, supervision, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I respect both the pet's routine and the home itself by following all care instructions carefully. I treat all dogs like they are my family.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lake Waukomis
I would give Shannon 10 stars if I could! She went above and beyond taking care of our girls. She even had a last minute emergency and was still able to complete the booking. She really paid attention to our pets behavior and acted according. She communicated very well and sent lots of pics. I will definitely be using her again in the future!
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again; Lori is the best! We were out of country and our sitter fell through and Lori jumped in to help at an hour’s notice so that our pup could have care and a familiar, friendly face for the rest of our trip. If you need someone that you can trust implicitly in your home, look no further. I promise your fur baby will thank you for it too! I can’t say enough great things about Lori.
Casey was great I’ll use her again. The only complaint I have is the Rover app is not user friendly to me. It had me keep going back to do insurance and so many places for each day and hr of the day to specify everything. I’m glad for the service Rover supplies and we need but they need to simplify in this day and age things should be easy not hard going forward. Life is hard enough
Definitely would book Karen again! We reached out to her last-minute and she was very responsive and accommodating and even squeezed a meet-and-greet into her morning for us. During our trip, she was always on time for drop-ins with our pups and sent pictures and updates with each visit. We were so relieved on our trip to know we could rely on her. Thank you so much Karen!
This was the first time I used Rover and Maria did not disappoint! She was absolutely amazing and I highly recommend booking with her! I did 3 drop ins a day while I was out of town and my boys got plenty exercise and she even brushed one of them! If I could give 100 stars I would!
Amanda is an amazing sitter! She went above and beyond for our Luna, sending updates and pics, and even dealt with a crazy windstorm that took down our gazebo! Her care and attention to our home and pup were top-notch. We're so grateful for her! Highly recommend on Rover. 5 stars isn't enough ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🐾"

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Lake Waukomis stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Waukomis 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!
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Lake Waukomis with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
