“Erin was fantastic! We had severe storms while we were away and Erin was conscientious enough to watch the sump pump and take care of the patio furniture so it wouldn't get blown away too. We were grateful for that!! She took several amazing photos of our dog and communicated daily. We will definitely use her services again in the future. She has a very sweet personality too!!”

About: I understand that your pets are family. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I offer pet sitting, house sitting, dog walking, drop-in visits, feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, waste cleanup, playtime, companionship, medication administration (if needed), and lots of love and attention tailored to your pet’s routine. Whether you have energetic dogs, independent cats, or multiple pets, I’m committed to making them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own home. I’m reliable, trustworthy, and treat every home with the same respect I would my own. I believe in clear communication and will gladly provide updates and photos so you can see how your pets are doing while you’re away. Because I am a full-time online student, my schedule is incredibly flexible, allowing me to make pet sitting my top priority. Unlike a traditional 9-to-5 job where I would be away from the house all day, my school structure allows me to work entirely from home on my own terms. This means I have ample open blocks of time throughout the day dedicated solely to pet care. I can easily accommodate structured feeding times, frequent potty breaks, and mid-day play sessions without interruption. Your pets will receive consistent companionship, and because I'm studying from my laptop, I am available to provide the constant supervision, love, and attention they deserve." When caring for pets in your home, my primary goal is to maintain their regular routine so they feel safe and secure while you are away. Seamless Routine Adherence: I strictly follow your established feeding schedules, medication timelines, and specific instructions to keep their environment predictable and stress-free. Meticulous Cat Care: As a multi-cat owner myself, I know the importance of a clean environment. I scoop litter boxes thoroughly during every visit and sweep up any tracked litter. Quality Companionship: Because my full-time student schedule is so flexible, I don't just rush in and out. I dedicate genuine time to interactive playtime with their favorite toys, gentle grooming, or just quiet companionship on the couch while I study. Home Respect & Communication: I respect your space, leave it exactly as I found it, and provide you with detailed daily updates and plenty of photos so you never have to wonder how they are doing.
“Lori did a great job staying with our pups! We had a last minute need to go out of town and decided to try Rover. Sure glad Lori was available! She kept us informed and provided pictures so we knew things were going well. We have already used her since to provide check-ins for the pups. Thank you Lori!”
“Evelyn is the best. She took such amazing care of our 2 guys. I felt so at ease being away. I knew they were behind loved and snuggled the whole time. I added a bath and she did a full spa treatment/deshedding. My guys have never smelled or looked our felt so great. We will be repeat clients. Thank you so very much! Sue and Jeff”
“Abigail is the best!! My dogs were so happy and well taken care of. She sent updates and gave me such a peace of mind leaving them with her for a week. I already have her scheduled again!”
“Reed has stayed with my pup multiple times now (once on very short notice) and will continue to be my go-to sitter. He does a great job of following my instructions, is easy to communicate with, and takes great care of my dog and my apartment! Five stars every single time!!”
“Sharon is fantastic! It was my first time having someone stay in my home with my dog and, after another sitter canceled at the last minute, she stepped in and saved the day. She sent photos, communicated well and left the house looking great. It was so nice to be able to enjoy my vacation, knowing my dog and home were under such great care. I cannot recommend her enough!”
“Our dogs can be a handful and we always have a hard time with sitters not being comfortable with three big, especially with one that can be a little temperamental, but Payton was amazing with them and all three warmed up to her quickly during our meet & greet. I’m so happy we found her!!”
“We absolutely loved Amina. We were immediately impressed with her overall demeanor and our German Shepherd, Leo, took to her, on the spot, which is rare! My daughter was able to hand her the leash to walk him a bit with us in the park. I was hesitant to leave him, but she was very reassuring, before we ever left. This was our first time using Rover, so the opportunity of meet and greet and preparation details were well planned. Amina went out of her way to send photos and videos, some of which were quite entertaining! We had extra instructions for giving our dog medications and she did a fantastic job doing that in addition to keeping our Siamese Cat fed and loved. Our German Shepherd loves to play soccer in the backyard and when I arrived home there was a new doggie toy with tug of war ropes and a soccer ball in the middle”
“We had Andie house sit for us while we were out of town for a few days and I would highly recommend booking with her! She was very nice and easy to work with and our animals were well taken care of. The house was left in perfect shape and with happy animals!”
“Maryn did a great job watching our kitties. She stuck to our routine with their feeding schedules and left our home exactly as we left it. She even went above and beyond with leaving food and water out for the neighborhood cats who were not included in the booking but who my husband and I look after. We will definitely be booking with Maryn again!”
“Lindsay was very quick to respond to any communication I sent. She also left our house clean, even after several rainy days which I knew the dogs would have tracked in dirty paws. I’ll definitely use her again.”
“Great communication! Felt so comfortable leaving our kitty in her care! Osiris was immediately accepting of her during the meet and greet which was the biggest green flag ever. Thanks again so much! Rebooked already :)”

Caroline was absolutely great. We booked her for staying in our house while we were gone. She took such good care of our Mini Aussie while we were away. She met with us twice prior to our leaving to make sure our dog was comfortable with her. She followed our instructions and was very good about making sure we saw a series of pictures of our pup each day. She even took steps to make sure our dog was comfortable during a thunderstorm. She’s very reliable and did a great job sitting with our dog. We will definitely want to book Caroline again!
Emily has been wonderful with my dog Henry. They seem to have a great time together. She communicates very well and takes the best pictures. He has black hair, black eyes, black nose and he is hard to photograph. She sends fantastic photos. I really enjoy them. She treats my home respectfully. I would definitely recommend her.
Rachel watched our two pugs for several days while we were out of town, and this was our first time using Rover. Our pugs are our life, so we were a little nervous about leaving them and wanted to make sure they were in good hands. Rachel gave us peace of mind from the very beginning. She did an awesome job and truly went above and beyond taking care of them. She stayed at our home while we were gone, kept us updated, and we couldn’t have been happier with how everything went. It was such a relief knowing our pugs were being well cared for while we were away. We had a great experience with Rachel and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. We will definitely use her again!
This was our first time using Rover for our two senior cats and we had a wonderful experience with Rachel! Our cats have a very regimented feeding schedule that includes multiple feedings a day and a lot of meds/supplements, and she handled it all like a champ. She was at our house a lot which brought us peace of mind. She sent lots of photo and updates, which also put us at ease. Rachel was also a wonderful house guest and took great care of the house and left it clean. We came home to two happy and well taken care of kitties and will definitely use her again! I highly recommend her!
Just got back in town from my first booking with Randall and he exceeded my expectations immensely! Tons of pictures were received each day and it was evident that he really cared for all three of the pets. He was not phased by medications, their fancy diet, eye drops, etc. The house was immaculate as well. Cannot recommend enough. Thanks, Randall!
Otto is the best! I am a repeat customer who used him for an extended stay while I was out of town. He sent lots of updates and photos with my dog on daily walks and adventures. I came home to a super clean house and a very happy dog. Otto is fantastic - highly recommend!
Violet was great with our dog, Spotz. We appreciated the regular updates, and felt comfortable on our trip knowing that Violet was taking care of him. Spotz is an anxious, needy dog, so it takes a special person to deal with his antics. We are excited we’ve found a reliable person to care for Spotz when we’re away. Thanks, Violet!

FAQs for House Sitting - Leawood
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Leawood on Rover is $42.8 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 1,653 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Leawood. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Leawood walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Leawood maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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 .
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Leawood. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% 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.
