“Rachel is the best ! She takes such good care of our puppies. She is awesome at communicating through the app and always lets us know how the visit went in detail. We love Rachel.”
“Griffin is such an asset! He is wonderful with Billy and you can tell that he’s very knowledgeable about dogs. He leaves great detailed messages post walk and makes sure your pup is settled and happy before he leaves. I recommend Griffin to all my friends. Billy and I truly appreciate him!”
“Michael is literally the best dog walker I've ever had for my little floof. He's almost always available, prompt, respectful of your fur baby and your home and leaves a great report for their walks together!!”
“Jennifer is thoughtful, dedicated, and takes great care of our dog. She’s particularly good at communicating with us about questions and happenings during her visits. Our dog is triggered by other dogs and she does an awesome job managing him, calming him, and loving him. He loves when she visits!”
“Hollys communication is great! I appreciate that she was willing to cut walks short during a heat wave and hang with Pepe inside a little bit to give him the full time together!”
“Ron has walked our dog several times during the day. We appreciate his punctuality and ability to help on short notice. He came to meet our dog before the scheduled walk and we really appreciated it. Good communication as well.”
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. I've cared for my family dog since we got her as a puppy, helping with her training and taking full responsibility for her care whenever my parents are away. Growing up around animals has given me a natural connection with them and an understanding of the patience, consistency, and attention they need. In addition to my experience with pets, I have over 1,000 hours of patient care experience as a Certified Nursing Assistant and will be starting nursing school this fall. My healthcare background has strengthened my compassion, attentiveness, and ability to provide dependable care. I understand that pets are cherished members of the family, and I will care for yours with the same empathy, responsibility, and dedication that I bring to caring for my patients. I recently graduated from the University of Arkansas with a degree in Public Health and am spending the summer in Kansas City before starting nursing school in August. My schedule is very flexible, with only a few appointments throughout the week, which allows me to be highly available for pet sitting, drop-in visits, walks, and other pet care needs. I would love to help care for your pets whenever you need an extra hand. When caring for pets in a client's home, I strive to maintain their normal routine and provide them with a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment. I am reliable and able to travel to your home to provide the care your pet needs, whether that includes feeding, walks, playtime, medication administration, or companionship. I have strong communication skills and will keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident while you're away. I am highly detail-oriented, follow instructions carefully, and understand that every pet has unique needs. My goal is to care for your beloved pet as if they were a member of my own family.
About: Hi, I'm Sophie! I grew up surrounded by animals and have been pet sitting for over 12 years. I also volunteer at a local animal shelter, where I regularly walk dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I provide dependable, loving care so your pet will be in good hands. I work 3 days a week so I have lots of time to keep your pets happy! My schedule varies weekly and can be flexible. I follow your pet's normal routine to help them feel comfortable and happy. I'll make sure they have fresh food and water, potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and plenty of affection
“Reed showed up a few minutes early. He was very nice. This was a meet/greet for me, him, and Lola. He took Lola for a walk so they had time alone. Everything seemed to go great. I’ll definitely be scheduling with him again.”
About: Nice to meet you, I'm Kat! I have been working in the pet industry since early 2019 - beginning as a kennel attendant, evolving into a professional dog trainer in two prominent KC training facilities, and now running my own small business in Overland Park. I am thoroughly versed in canine care and communication, and use my expertise to help every dog that stays with me have a comfortable and positive experience. Not only that, but I am also very knowledgeable in canine enrichment and stimulation. Have a high-energy, high-needs breed? They'll end their days with me happy and tired. A senior dog that has special needs and benefits from therapeutic stretches? Say no more. Puppies are absolutely welcome as well, and will have many opportunities to practice socialization, building confidence, and manners. My experience also means that I am able to care for dogs with behavioural issues and special health needs. I know it can be difficult to find care for dogs with "quirks," and I hope to make that search a little easier. Send me a message and we can chat about your dog and if I would be a good fit. I'm looking forward to meeting your pup! The pets I work with are my priority! I am able to build my schedule around the dogs that stay in my home. Before you book, we will have a chat about your pets' needs, and I can make sure to set up my schedule in a way that ensures that they will always get the attention they need and the love they deserve. 🐾IN MY HOME (boarding):🐾 (See "IN YOUR HOME" section below for housesitting. Boarding is dogs only. If you have other kinds of pets, please choose housesitting. Thank you!) My house is pretty well "dog-proofed" and oriented in a way that I am able to keep a close eye on pets from just about anywhere! So your pup gets to be the king of the castle, with lots of room inside & outside to run and play. Not to mention the mountain of toys.... When I cannot monitor them, they'll get to chill in a cozy crate or pen, with fresh water always available and a chew toy, puzzle, or snack to keep them entertained. For walks and other adventures, I will always keep your dog leashed and close to me. I love to take dogs out on excursions to parks, trails, and other such places! Of course, I will always check with you first to make sure that we don't go somewhere your dog doesn't enjoy. I have three adult dogs (all ~45lbs) and a cat in my home. The cat is dog-friendly, but also is able to be kept entirely separate from your dog if needed. My dogs are all 100% dog-friendly, have good play manners, and are also able to be neutral around/ignore other dogs when told. They are very patient with young puppies as well! And if your pup isn't one for new friends, don't worry - they can be kept totally separate on request, and your dog will still get plenty of one-on-one playtime & snuggles with me. It is 100% up to you if your pup has any interaction with other dogs (or the cat). Full separation is possible, but if you'd like your dog to make some furry friends, I am happy to safely facilitate that! All interactions between your dog and other pets will be of limited time and monitored - the dogs will never be alone together. For safety and management reasons, I cannot accept boarding bookings for dogs that are not able to be comfortable in a crate (or pen, for small dogs only). Have other questions or concerns? Send me a message and let's chat about it! Updates will be sent daily, as well as pictures and videos. I look forward to meeting your furry friends. 🐾IN YOUR HOME (housesitting):🐾 Dogs, cats, and exotic pets 👍 (See "IN MY HOME section above for boarding.) Your house, your rules! Before the booking, you & I will have a detailed conversation about your pets' schedule, rules, needs, and preferences. I am happy to follow all of that to a T! My job is to keep your pets happy and safe while you are away. With 7 years of pet care experience, I am confident in caring for all of their needs. This includes pets with behavioral concerns and special needs! For walks and other adventures, I will always keep your dog leashed and close to me. I love to take dogs out on excursions to parks, trails, and other such places, but I will always check with you first to make sure that we don't go somewhere your dog doesn't enjoy. Updates will be sent daily, as well as pictures and videos. I look forward to meeting your furry friends. (Scaled or feathered friends welcome, too!)

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Leawood
Christina is fantastic! Our dogs boarded with her and had such a good stay, and we got plenty of updates while we were away. She also walked them on very last minute notice due to our regular walkers falling through. We highly recommend Christina and are already booked for repeat service with her in the near future!
Cami has been so amazing to our puppy! She has walked him since we got him and has made us feel so comfortable and confident knowing he is getting taken care of. She goes above and beyond with communication, will take pictures of things requested by us, clean up any messes our pup made in our room during his time alone, and never cuts anything short. Our pup loves her so so much! We are so thankful to have her take such good care!
Really appreciated how Jennifer wanted to get to know our doggie better before she is boarding him in March. She genuinely was interested in what was best for him and putting him at ease. You could tell how comfortable she was with any situation and we can't wait for Zachy to spend some time with her!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Leawood on Rover is $18.87 per walk (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 2,683 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Leawood. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Leawood. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Leawood.
Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s walk begins.
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 walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Leawood. On Rover:
- 93% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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.
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 walker.
