“Jennifer was great! She came over once a day to feed the cat and clean the litter box. I got lots of updates and photos. It was nice to get messages from someone who enjoyed hanging out with my cat.”
“My partner’s dog Oswald is incredibly anxious. He was rescued from a puppy mill, and he’s very selective with his people. Despite all of this, Ozzy adores Caroline and she does an exceptional job with him! It’s so special to see him enjoying someone’s company outside of myself and my partner. Ozzy has never had a friend quite like Caroline, and we are both so beyond grateful to her for loving our mess of a muppet.”
“Jessica did an amazing job. I loved that she had kids that she would bring if allowed. Her kids would play and run around with my pups. My dogs never needed to miss their own kids. It was a so wonderful to know that my dogs could stay home in their environment and still have someone that treated them exactly like I would. Loves and belly rubs. I will absolutely use her again.”
“Devin is extremely flexible and easy to work with. She’s been great for our Hunter and always provides us with a quick photo to ease our worries when we are not able to be at home with our sweet kitty.”
“Kylee was a WONDERFUL Rover sitter! She was on time based on our agreement every day, she treated my pup like her own, and sent the best pictures! I will definitely book her again! (Once Coronavirus allows me to get back to business as usual).”
“Christina was very reliable (even came during huge storms), and very communicative! She also got creative when Snickers (my cat) slowed down eating. I will absolutely use her again.”
About: I have two years of experience pet sitting small, medium and large dogs pet sitting experience with cats. During my visits, I have walked, fed, had playtime with, and have fed any medications or vitamins the owner has requested I give their pet to them. In my daily and weekly routine, I would be available for visits/walks during: Monday/Wednesday/Fri: 6-10am and/or 1-8pm Tuesday/Thursday/Saturday: available at any time Sunday: 3-8pm These times do differ for overnight stays! When caring for pets in my clients home, I always make sure to follow any instructions or specific requests the client has left for me. I also make sure the client has informed me of certain behaviors of their pet and has told me about the pets personality to ensure I watch them in a way that makes them the most comfortable to ensure a safe and fun visit!
“We have used Dalton twice now. Alice (Senior lab) and Priscilla (blind Senior chihuahua) are very happy with him. He goes above and beyond for them. It gives us peace of mind knowing they're in good hands when we are away and I don't trust my dogs with just anyone.”
“Lori did a great job with our cats, Luna and Puck — and a great job keeping my mind at ease while we traveled. Luna got the attention she craves, and Puck, whose usual mode is to hide from anyone he doesn’t know, emerged to enjoy her visits. Twice daily photos of happy cats made our trip delightful.”
“I recently hired Catherina as my cat sitter, and she was absolutely amazing! Right from the start, she had such a friendly and personable vibe that made me feel comfortable entrusting my cat to her care. Catherina was always on time, and I never had to worry about my cat's schedule being disrupted. She was super reliable and punctual, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. What I loved most about Catherina was how she genuinely connected with my cats. She took the time to understand Sophie's quirks and preferences, and it was clear that she genuinely enjoyed spending time with her. Seeing her shower both cats with affection and attention made me feel so happy and relieved. On top of that, Catherina was a great communicator. She kept me updated about my cats well-being, and I really appreciated that. It was so nice to receive those updates and know that my furry friend was in good hands. All in all, I highly recommend Catherina as a cat sitter. Her friendly and personable nature, punctuality, and genuine love for cats make her an outstanding choice. If you're looking for someone who will take great care of your feline companion and provide a wonderful experience, definitely consider hiring Catherina.”
About: I’ve been taking care of all kinds of dogs since I was about 15 years old. I’m an Eagle Scout and my project for becoming Eagle was with Great Plains SPCA. I have a pretty flexible schedule, so feel free to reach out! I’m currently working and going to school part time so I have plenty of free time to spend with your furry friends, big or small. I treat your pet or pets like a member of the family with love, care, and enthusiasm. Same goes for your home, belongings, and community.
“Jennifer did a wonderful job caring for our three dogs - one of which is a senior dog. She is a great communicator and established a strong rapport quickly with our fuzzy family. We strongly recommend her to anyone needing professional, compassionate care for their pets.”
“Nicole was excellent! She was so enthusiastic and caring, and she even handled Lily’s insulin injections like a pro. She was super respectful of our home and gave us detailed updates with each visit. We highly recommend her and would love to have her care for Lily again in the future.”

Stephanie was the best. She took time with my Gaby. Felt very comfortable with her and her taking care of my girl. She was on time, thats one thing I liked about her. She's a real jewel and im glad I found her. Shes professional and friendly. I recommend her highly, she won't disappoint you. Thank you Stephanie for being there when I needed you. Linda & Gaby(woof woof)
Amber came to our home for the first time to sit with our new (to us) dog Rigsby. Amber not only arrived on time she followed our guidelines to a tee. Rigsby took to her immediately which allowed me to get to my appointment on time. I would highly recommend this young lady to help you with your dog needs.
I cannot thank Griffin enough for my last minute request coverage. Nothing makes you more anxious than worrying about who is caring for your baby. I know she was a little stand offish at first but he was patient and took great care of her. Would definitely hire again!
This was our first time using Rover and Kristin was fantastic with our two Frenchies! From the start, she was very fast to respond and I loved her experience. She came by for a meet and greet so our little rescue who can be nervous around new people would be comfortable. I got an update and pictures after each drop in so even while I was traveling, I had peace of mind they were okay. Highly recommend Kristin!
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!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Leawood stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
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 Leawood 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 .
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 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 Leawood 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.
