“Emily was incredible! She was communicative, sent pictures every day, and handled everything with ease and confidence. I felt like my pups were very safe in her hands. Highly recommend!!”
“Caroline was incredible with our dog Oliver. She was attentive and communicated very well with us. She spent a lot of time playing and making it a point to spend quality time with our dog. Will definitely be using her again in the future!”

“My girls LOVED having Jennifer stay with them when we went away for the long Thanksgiving weekend. The baby of my pack is usually quite shy around new people but she instantly fell in love with Jennifer. She did great with all 4 of our furbabies ... from 15 lbs to 150 lbs and 6 months to 17 years.”
“Katy was exceptional with our anxious boys. It's such a relief to know we have a fantastic person to watch our dogs and house! The pics showed they were happy and having a blast. It means the world to us to know they are in such great hands with Katy. Thank you so very much!!!”
“Erin checks on my dogs during the week while I’m at work and has spent the weekend at my house while I was out of town. I trust her completely with my dogs and my home. She’s easy to communicate and work with.”

“Roxanne was absolutely amazing. She came over for a meet and greet the day before and sent us lots of pictures throughout the day of dog sitting. Next time we use rover, we will be contacting Roxanne first!”
“Book her! My dog looked so relaxed in the pics we received of her. Erin was communicative and so personable. I had no hesitation leaving my dog in her care. I will definitely be booking Erin again!”
“Rosemary was so great to work with! She communicated often, provided lots of adorable photos, and I returned to very happy pets. She was on time, took the time to get to know my anxious dog, and genuinely seemed to enjoy spending time with them. She left my house spotless when she left. I will definitely rebook with her!”
“Randall took amazing care of our pets, and sent so many pictures. We felt our pets were well cared for and loved while we were away, and he left our house in perfect condition. We will definitely want to use him in the future!”
“Paige took great care of my fur babes while house sitting. She made sure they were well taken care of and even brought in packages we received while we were gone. I will be using her again in the future!”

About: I’ve been pet sitting and fostering with KCPP for over 10 years and truly love caring for animals. While I’m new to Rover, I’m not new to caring for pets. References are available upon request! Through the years I’ve cared for dogs with different personalities, sizes, and energy levels, medical conditions, and I understand that every pet has unique needs and routines. I’m big on following your instructions exactly, as no one knows your furry loved one the way you do. I also have personal experience caring for a senior dog, which taught me patience, attentiveness, and the importance of paying close attention to comfort, routines, and changing needs. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions and understand how important consistency can be, especially for older dogs. Whether your dog loves walks and playtime or prefers a slower pace with extra cuddles and attention, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I treat every pet as if they were my own. I currently work full-time remotely from home, from 6am-2pm. Then I nanny from 3-6pm. The only time I’m unavailable for drop-ins is during my nanny shift from 3-6pm, my full-time job allows me a lot of flexibility. I find it very important to follow a pet’s normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. In a client’s home, I respect their space and keep things clean, calm, and consistent. I make sure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water at all times, medications as needed, and get the right amount of playtime and attention based on their needs and energy level. I’m attentive to each pet’s personality, whether they need extra cuddles, a slower pace, or lots of activity—and I adjust my care accordingly. I’m also comfortable caring for senior dogs and understand the importance of patience, gentle handling, and monitoring for changes in comfort or behavior. Since I’m new to Rover but have years of dog sitting experience, I take communication seriously and follow instructions carefully while providing updates. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, loved, and stress-free while their owners are away, while also bringing peace of mind to their owners that their pets are being lovingly and properly cared for.
“Krystina did an amazing job taking care of my pup! I couldn’t have asked for anything more. She sent lots of photos and was very responsive. I would definitely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone.”
“Another great service by Reed, he sends us several pictures daily of both our dogs. Keeps in touch with us and cleans up before he leaves. 5 stars all the way, already booked another set of dates with him.”
“Otto was amazing!! It seemed like Jordy had a blast while we were out of town for a wedding. Otto was extremely responsive and sent many pictures! He also left the house so clean and took out the garbage for us! Totally unexpected and so sweet. We can’t wait for Jordy to see his new friend, Otto again!”
“Jason and Liz were absolutely amazing! They stepped in at the last minute when our original Rover sitter had an emergency, and we couldn’t be more grateful. They kept us updated with messages and photos of Jack, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Their communication was excellent, and it was clear Jack was in great hands. We will definitely be using them again!”

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!
Absolute peace of mind! Emily took great care of my dear old dog during VERY HOT days. She was sensitive about nudging walks to later ("cooler") hours, asked great questions while I was gone to make sure my furball was comfortable, and sent regular updates with photos. Great communication. Wonderful care. 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!
I am so lucky to have found Stephanie. The care she gave Patches/Gilbert was more than I could have hoped for. The daily pics showed me my kitties were being well cared for. She also kept my wild birds fed. I would have Stephanie back in a heart beat. Thank you Stephanie!!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Leawood on Rover is $42.55 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 1,743 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:
- 95% 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.
