“Katy is wonderful with our senior cat, Fredo, who has special medical needs and likes a lot of attention. We always come home to a happy and content cat, so we know that Katy has taken great care of him while we were gone! We highly recommend her to anyone needing a pet sitter in the KC area.”
“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.”
About: I’ve spent much of my career in the animal health industry and have years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I’m comfortable with pets of all ages, from energetic youngsters to seniors who need a little extra patience and attention. I also have experience administering medications to both dogs and cats, including oral, topical, and injectable medications, and I’m comfortable following established medication schedules and detailed care instructions. As a pet parent myself, I know that every animal has their own personality, routine, and quirks. I’m comfortable with shy or anxious pets, senior animals, and pets who simply need a little extra time to warm up. For dogs staying in my home, I work from home and am there most of the day, allowing for frequent potty breaks, plenty of attention, and lots of company. I intentionally keep boarding small-scale so your dog can feel like part of the household rather than one of many pets in a busy boarding environment. Most importantly, I want you to feel as comfortable while you're away as your pet does with me. You can expect reliable communication, photos, and updates so you always know how they're doing. I work from home, which gives me lots of flexibility for pets staying in my home. For drop-in visits, I’m generally available mornings through 10 AM, with limited weekday afternoon availability around 3 PM and more flexibility on weekends. I’ll always confirm timing with you before booking so we can make sure your pet’s routine and needs are a good fit. Keeping your pet safe, comfortable, and as close to their normal routine as possible is my priority. I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, medications, potty breaks, and household routines carefully. For dogs staying with me, I have a fenced backyard and work from home, so they’ll have plenty of supervision, frequent potty breaks, and lots of company throughout the day. I also have pets of my own, so meet-and-greets are important to make sure everyone will be comfortable together.
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.
“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. :)”
“Arabella was super responsive and communicative while checking on my kitties. She sent lots of videos and pictures that helped ease my traveling anxiety and let me know they were in good hands. Would absolutely recommend her services to anyone looking for a great sitter!”
“Katelyn is great! She takes excellent care of my boys when we are away, she's flexible and communicative. I have a high anxiety cat, a velcro cat and a kitten who is terrified of most people. These boys are almost never alone most days and I'm grateful that Katelyn keeps them company when we are out of town.”
“Vanessa was wonderful with both of our cats. I worry a lot about leaving them when we go out of town, but I felt so comfortable leaving them under Vanessa’s care. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone.”
“Erin was great! She responded right away when we were looking for someone to care for our cat, Max, over the holiday. We set up a meet & greet and she was very friendly and accommodating. This was our first time w/a Rover sitter. The evening she was scheduled, she arrived at the right time to feed Max & give his insulin. It was a good experience!”
“Lauren was absolutely amazing! This was my first time using Rover, and I was really anxious letting a stranger in to visit my cat Raven. She made me feel so at ease about everything, and gave the best updates!! I could tell she was the right calming presence for Raven while I was gone. I would 100% recommend Lauren, and will definitely be using her services again next time I’m out of town :)”
About: I have had dogs growing up my whole life and cats. I love taking them on walks and just making sure they are happy and living their best lives I work a 8-5 job but am free in mornings and evenings to take care of pets. I usually feed my dog before work and let him outside and then when I get home take him on a walk and feed him again etc. I also would have time during my lunch break at work to go home and take care of pets. I care for pets by making sure they are fed, have water, and have enough exercise and love. I think it is really important for them to feel happy and safe.
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.
“Amina was great with our two cats for the weekend. We just added our kitten Boots to the family so we were nervous leaving for a quick weekend trip. Amina was understanding about the introduction process between the two cats that we were going through and made sure everyone was well taken care of and happy.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Leawood
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!
Meg was fantastic with our cats!! They all loved her and her company! Her photos and daily recaps were my favorite thing to read every day! Would 1000% recommend Meg as a sitter! Made sure our house was safe as well, grabbed our mail and tended to our cats little individual needs!
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.

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 .
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.
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 .

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.
