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.
“Ron is great and SO reliable. I never wonder for even a moment whether he’ll show up as scheduled or care for our dogs as we request. I can see in the photos he takes that the dogs greet him at the door with toys to show off to him — an unmistakable sign that they are happy to see him!”
“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.”
“Becky was a lifesaver with a last minute request! This was our first experience using Rover and we feel so lucky to have found Becky. We enjoyed the updates during her visits and returned home to 2 very well cared for doggos. She even brought in our mail! ?”
“Beth is very nice, punctual and caring. Beth did an amazing job checking on Lea (my cat) while I was out of town. She gave her medicine and then sat and played with her a bit after feeding her too. It was such a relief knowing someone was checking on her and taking care of her. I would definitely re-book with Beth!”
“This was our first time using August to care for our two senior cats. The cats were well cared for and the detailed reports received were a pleasure to read and made us feel like August was very observant and tuned in to their personalities. We would definitely book August again!”
About: Hey my name is James, but I also go by Logan. I have always had a dog and periodically a cat in my life. I appreciate the joy and animal companion brings. I treat all animals with kindness and respect. I currently have two dogs and two gerbils that I love and care for. I have a flexible schedule. I care for all my own animals and do so with both a sense of responsibility and joy. I'd be glad to do the same with you and yours! Respect the space, put safety first. I would treat your animals with the same love and caring that I would expect others to care for mine.
“I am so thankful on this Thanksgiving Day to have Rachel visit Oliver! She was right on time and gave me a thorough review with photos. I really appreciated that since it was our first time working together. I will absolutely call on her the next time we need care! Thank you, Rachel!”
“They did an amazing job with Bonney and were extremely thorough in keeping me updated. I’m already trying to book with them again! Would 100% recommend them to anyone and everyone.”
“Devine provided the pet care we had discussed prior to her drop-in visits. When I needed to modify my time, due to daylight savings time changed, she took care of that efficiently. I highly recommend Devine for any pet care you need!”
“I have very pleased to have Michael care fore my seven year old cat for over four years. When I am away from home I am confident that my cat will be well cared for during those periods.”
About: I have grown up with dogs of all ages my whole life and helped take care of them. I am very active, love dogs and would love to be able to help people walk their dogs. Since I already regularly go on walks, dog walking fits right into my schedule and gives me a good reason to keep walking every day. Getting a sense for the kind of dog, and their personality is definitely big. Always go into it as gently as possible. For walking, looking for the size and how in shape the dog is for the duration of the walk, and making sure it’s not too much.
“We have been using Kayah to let our dogs out during the week while we are at work for 30min drop-in visit slots. She has done a great job so far for us. She is great at communication via the Rover texting/messaging service. She has given both dogs great attention and care - giving them food, taking them on a quick trip up and down the street to go to the bathroom, and just giving them love and playtime. We are happy we found her and plan to continue to use her for as long as we need help during the day. Really appreciate her help with our fur babies.”
“Mia was fantastic. She arrived on time, sent adorable pictures, a wonderful detailed visit recap, and provided excellent care to my pup. I will definitely book with her again. Thank you, Mia!!”
The median cost per visit for dog sitting in Leawood is $20
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Leawood
This was our first time using Rover and we’re so lucky to have found Stephanie. She went above and beyond in every way. You can tell by her actions that she truly loves animals and watches over them as if they were her own. She gave our family such a gift taking care of our pets in the way that she did- as we were able to enjoy our vacation knowing that they were being cared for in the best possible way. I can’t recommend Stephanie enough.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Leawood. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
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.
