“Since Griffin works from home he was able to provide our pup with the human company he is used to at home. This was important for me. Griffin’s little dog was happy to share space with ours. Easy access to play in the fenced in backyard was especially nice on sunny days. Willy was well-cared for during his stay in Griffin’s home.”
“Lucy made sure my dog Penny got lots of love and attention! Pretty sure Penny didn’t even miss me while I was gone. I loved getting picture updates everyday! Would definitely pick Lucy again to take care Penny”
“Second time Louie has stayed with Michelle and Bradley. He loves being there, is well cared for and enjoys their dog, Joni. Michelle and Bradley are clear communicators and great representatives of Rover.”
“Amanda was wonderful with my fur babies. She is responsive and sent so many pictures of them all having fun. We will definitely be using Amanda again.”
“Tasha is an amazing pet sitter! Thank you so much for taking such good care of my pets! She was very helpful, caring and flexible with my schedule. She sent photos and updates daily. She was so kind that she even helped me get more cat food when I ran out. I will book with her again on my next trip. Thank you!”
“Weenie had a wonderful time with Juneall and her husband! He will definitely be staying there again if I have to go out of town. They were really gracious and even took him last minute. Thanks guys!”
“Jay recently watched my dog, Fergus, while my husband and I were out of town. I appreciated the time he took to talk to us about our Fergus before hand. He wanted to ensure he would be able to provide the best care. Which he did! He told us his plans for caretaking at drop off and gave us updates while we were gone. Our dog is nervous around strangers but Jay strived to make him feel at home.”
“Such a warm and welcoming family and home. And Auggie had so much fun playing with Simon and Pearl. It made our quick trip so relaxing to know he was being so loved and taken care of….”
About: Hi! My name is Megan and I currently have three cats and a rat terrier puppy who 5 years old! Unfortunately in 2018 I lost my 14 year old Jack Russell Terrier. I love animals and have always had at least one pet in my life, usually cats and dogs at the same time so if you have cats too I'm good to go. I love hanging out with animals and would be thrilled to sit your whenever you need :) Since I have so many pets at my house at the moment, I cannot board dogs, but I can do anything else! I'm always ready to welcome new furry friends into my life, even temporarily. Please let me know if you have any more questions! I work full time in OP so I am able to drop in on pets before or after my 8-5 shifts and anytime over the weekends. I like to make sure pets are comfortable with me and with each other, so I don't have pets stay in my own home. This is because I have many of my own pets. I only watch pets in their own homes.
“Ali was the best sitter for my pug, Atticus! She was super communicative, accommodating, and thoughtful. Her family is wonderful too. Could not speak more highly of her! ❤️”
“Jessica and her girls were great to my Lucy and Otis. Jessica sent daily update photos twice a day, morning and evening. She was just the right amount of communicative and provided a great sense of safety while we were away on a trip for five days. Her doggy Rain seemed like a great companion to also get some needed socialization for our Lucy who just loves being around other younger pups. Overall, I would recommend Jessica and her girls to anyone needing a safe place to keep their pups in the KC metro area.”
“So grateful to have found Julia and Rue!! Mia had the best time. I got plenty of updates and felt at ease knowing she was in a safe and loving home! Will 100% be booking again!”
About: We have a small Shih Tzu, a German Shepherd, and a cat at home, so animals are truly a big part of our family. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, personalities, and needs, including pets who require extra attention, medication, special routines, or additional care. I understand how important it is to make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away I work from home, which gives me the flexibility to structure my day around whatever needs my attention. I can do mornings, afternoons, and evenings. My pets are family to me, so I understand how important it is to know they’re in loving, attentive hands. I would give your pets that same level of care and attention.
“Linda was so kind and took such great care of our pup while we were out of town. She sent daily updates and pictures to help keep us updated. We felt at ease leaving our pup in her care. She is great!”
“This was our first stay over with Christine. I really appreciate that Enzo was well taken care of and she communicated periodically and shared photos to provide updates. Thank you.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Leawood
Jennifer and her husband take amazing care of our two boys, they’ve stayed with them at their house twice for weeks at a time, they spoil them so well during their stay, they follow our instructions and you can tell they truly love dogs! They’re by far the best dog sitters we’ve ever had. Thankyou again!!!💕
Rhiannon and Rachel are truly the best! Bear means a lot to my family. He was my brother’s dog and loyal companion, but after my brother passed away, my parents took over caring for him. Because of that, we are all especially protective of Bear, and leaving him when we travel has never been easy for us. Rhiannon and Rachel have been so warm, kind, and understanding of that. They go above and beyond to make us feel comfortable, sending thoughtful updates, photos, and videos that reassure us Bear is not only being well cared for but is genuinely happy and loved. It’s clear from their updates and the way Bear responds that they give him the attention and affection he deserves. Finding people you can trust with someone so precious to your family is priceless, and we feel incredibly lucky to have found Rhiannon and Rachel. They have given us such peace of mind, and we couldn’t recommend them more highly!
Another great experience with Jessica. She was able to squeeze Kit in when I had to travel for work on short notice, plus she was very understanding when my flight home was delayed. Despite the late hour, i was still able to pick-up Kit that night, which I really appreciated since I was gone most of the week and was missing my pup. Each day Jessica sent pics and a recap, which gave me peace of mind and I could focus on work worry free. Happy to recommend Jessica…your pet will be in great hands.
Luz was absolutely wonderful with my Oliver! She sent me multiple daily updates and pictures and really catered to his specific needs! Will definitely be boarding him with her again and would recommend to anyone looking for a sitter! Thank you so much for everything Luz!!
Our pups had a wonderful time! Despite their very different temperaments, training histories, and medical needs, all three were well cared for and happy for their entire stay. The home, yard, and neighborhood were all a great fit. Aaron kept their medicine on schedule and gave them the attention they insist on. He sent us photos and updates every day! We'd be happy to recommend, and to return the next time we travel. Thank you for treating our little ones so kindly!
Cassie and Ben were great with Luka! They kept us up-to-date with his progress/stay, shared photos, and ensured he was welcomed and loved! Luka can be a little tornado at times (haha) but they ensured he had ample opportunity to let his energy out through playing and running. Luka absolutely enjoyed his stay with them (he told me so 😉).
First of all, I was impressed with Lauren’s perfect dog friendly house where any pet would be so comfortable and loved. But more important, our dog Bentley, who has become more anxious as he ages, spent the first 12 hours at Lauren’s highly restless and even peeing inappropriately despite all of Lauren’s efforts. Our family was in Colorado and Lauren was awesome working with us long distance , but especially with Bentley to help him get his calm back and once over his initial jitters, he was a good guest in her house. I can’t thank Lauren enough for her willingness to work through all this with us and for being so chill with it all. It was a lot and she was wonderful! She should always be a first choice if you’re looking for someone kind and patient to watch your pet.
Christina is so great with our two boys, including eye care for our older dog, who is very picky about who he lets near him..! Our boys love her and her dog Lulu, and we always know they’re in great hands with her. We will definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an incredible sitter!!

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.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
95% of sitters in Leawood can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Leawood home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Leawood.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Leawood. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
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.
You and your Leawood sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in KS ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
