About: I grew up with a miniature beagle and now our family has two tuxedo cats. I love all cats and dogs and enjoy spending time with them. I work from home and have flexibility to care for cats and dogs. I also have three daughters that love cats and dogs as well. I also like to run and would love running or walking dogs. I am very friendly with dogs in cats in the client's home. I like to scratch them and make them feel loved and safe. I also like to walk/run with dogs and play with both dogs and cats.
About: Hi! I'm Michelle, I've been dogsitting for friends and family since ~2016 and finally became a dog mom in 2020--it's the best! My husband, Brad, and I both love animals and are excited to join the Rover sitter community. We are comfortable with dogs of any age and any breed, and would care for your dog as if s/he were our own. We can administer medications as needed (we mostly have experience with oral and topical meds, but are willing to learn what's needed for your furry friend) and are very attentive to your dog's diet and feeding regime. We can't wait to welcome your dog into our home while you are away! Michelle works from home so your dog won't be on their own for long periods while staying at our home. We love taking our dog, Joni, on walks (& runs) everyday (we usually go several times each day) and we have a large fenced in yard for additional playtime, so your pup will get lots of outside time to burn off energy and sniff. Your dog will have full access to our home, just as our Joni does, with a variety of toys and bed options (including couches) available throughout the day. You'll get regular photo updates of your pup's adventures while you're away (unless otherwise requested). My husband and I have a large, fenced in backyard that's perfect for zoomies and playtime, and live in a quiet, safe neighborhood. Our 6 year old pup, Joni, is always looking for new friends and someone to share her toys with (she's up to date on her vaccinations and preventative meds and ask that your dog be as well). If your dog is crate trained, we'd be happy to find a space to set that up for them in our home during their stay, or they are welcome to use Joni's old crate which we can set up if needed. Additionally, feel free to bring any toys or bedding/blankets that help make your dog feel at home; we want him/her to have what they need to be comfy while you are away.
“Devin is incredible! This was our second time using her and we couldn’t appreciate her more. It’s so nice knowing our sweet kitties are well cared for when we can’t be home.”
“Katra is a wonderful pet sitter. I hired her to take care of my cats for a month, and they were in excellent hands. Katra sent detailed photo updates after every visit and she noticed right away when the cats were a little too active in the house, texting immediately to check in. My cats were calm and happy when I returned and Katra left gifts and toys for them. I will definitely book with Katra again!”
“Maggie did an amazing job. We can tell the dogs are happy and have been well taken care of while we were gone. We will definitely use her in the future and would recommend her to anyone in the area looking for a great dog sitter.”
“Always love when Rachel is available to check in on my fur baby. It’s nice when she’s been available whenever I need her for check ins. She is very reliable & follows my, hopefully, simple instructions. :)”
“Kadyn was fantastic! 2x daily pics of my babies and knowing they were well taken care of was so reassuring for me. Will be rebooking with Kadyn for all of my pet sitting needs”
“Nathan is terrific! His care for my Pastis went above and beyond. My return home included being greeted by a well cared for fur angel, and a walk into a totally clean home. Litter was swept up, trash was taken out, dishes were cleaned. Nathan checked in at agreed upon times with pictures and assurances that all was well. I cannot begin to express my appreciation for his professionalism and personal care for my furry companion. This first visit will turn into more. Two thumbs up!”
“Jessica provides what all pet owners want: peace of mind that a pet is safe and happy. Our cat had superlative care and attention with Jessica and we would recommend her to anyone needing a pet sitter.”
“Michelle was amazing with our 3 cats! She was kind, communicative, and so attentive to our babies. You can absolutely tell how much she cares when she sends her check in summaries, and she got some great pics + videos. Even though there was a crazy storm while we were away, we never had to worry about anything since Michelle was proactive and kept us in the loop. She’s truly a gem!”
“Evelyn was such a relief, and I mean that deep in my soul. She came into our lives at a moment when I was stressed, pressed, and worn thin by a variety of external issues. Pippa, my 7-month-old kitten, had not only never stayed with anyone (or anywhere else), he'd also never spent significant time with anyone but me. But Evie was patient, kind, and accommodating for both of us -- and eased my mind incredibly because I was fully confident in the safe and conscientious care that Pippa would have while I was away. Evie sent wonderful photos, videos, and reports of Pippa's health and happiness every day -- even allowing for a significant time/internet access difference on my end. And, Pippa loved Evie (to an almost (but not quite) envy-inducing level). I returned to a healthy, happy, and well-played-with cat; a neat and well-cared-for house; and a calm mind. I could ask for nothing more.”
“I genuinely could not have asked for a better person to watch over my kitty while on vacation. She keeps you updated, sends pictures, whatever you may need to keep you at peace while being away from your pet. Highly highly recommend! I will not use anyone else as long as Erin’s available from here on out!”
About: I have had a dog ever since I was 10 years old. I got another dog shortly after and would take care of them both when my parents were away. I watch my neighbors two large dogs for weeks at a time. I enjoy taking dogs on walks outside and playing with them- I treat them as my own. I work another job part time, I go to work early and am usually done around 3 or 4. I am available most weekends all day and am available for overnight care. I am normally off Friday-Sunday. I have a big field in my backyard and am comfortable if you do not live in a fenced in area. I am comfortable putting pets in a crate as well.
“Mikayla is super sweet and went above and beyond to take care of my doggo over the weekend! Her pups are also very friendly and I appreciated getting to know her and her animals beforehand. I’d trust her with my dog any time!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats since I was a young child. Growing up, my family always had multiple dogs and cats. I grew up learning how to take care of them anytime my parents were out of town. I have experience taking care of dogs of all types, from young to old, and from big to small. I’m an elementary school music teacher, meaning I have more time in the summer! I’m a teacher, meaning I have the summers off! I’m available to care for your pets while you’re on a summer vacation or if you just need someone to take your dog for a walk while you’re at work. During the summer, I have a very open availability schedule. I have three pets in my home, 2 cats and 1 dog. I am a very astute pet parent, always making sure the areas around the house are clean and safe for them. I take my dog, Percy, on walks often. I am very comfortable taking dogs on walks, crating them if they need to be, and playing with them so they don’t get bored at home.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Leawood
This was my first time using Rover and Rachel set the bar very high! l needed to hire someone last minute to take care of my cat while I was traveling for a funeral. I had a really bad experience with a cat sitter in the past that resulted in one of my cats needing to be hospitalized, so I was really nervous about putting my cat in someone else's care again. However, during my meet and greet with Rachel, she asked very thoughtful questions that showed she understood cats and their quirks and it helped to set my mind at ease. I really appreciated her clear and detailed updates after each visit and the extra attention given to my cat's health issues. I had so many other stressful things to worry about this past week, but thanks to Rachel, my cat was not one of them!
Luz is amazing. She took really great care of my cats. She is quick to respond to messages, and always sends great pics and videos. She went above and beyond when I ran out of cat food. She purchased more food to get my cats through the last day. I appreciate her actions so much. I will definitely be using her services again.
Jennifer and her husband watched our cats while we were on our honeymoon for two weeks and did a fantastic job. They sent us thorough updates each day and gave our problem cat his pill each morning. They followed instructions perfectly, played with them, cleaned up nicely, and gave us peace of mind while we were gone. This was our first time booking with them and would do it again in a heartbeat. We appreciate the care you provided to our boys! Thank you!
Vanessa has a way of putting animals at ease that is so impressive! She is a very thoughtful caretaker who asks great questions and shares fun things she notices about our boys. As a reactive dog mom, I felt comfortable leaving our dog in her care and she went above and beyond to show them extra care and communicated well with us!
Amber is a very reliable, friendly and caring pet sitter! She took a fantastic care of our cat Elvis while we were away, followed all the instructions and our home was just in the same state as we left it. We appreciated daily updates and pictures and we will definitely book again when we go away! We highly recommend Amber!
Allison was great, she was easy to get a hold of and was always on time. Allison was great with both my dog and cat and the pets really liked her. She even went the extra mile and changed her schedule so it would work better for us. I would recommend her and look forward to working with her again in the future.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Cat Sitting in Leawood is $16 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $22 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 404 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Leawood. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
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.

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 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.
