“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.”
“Lulu is such a great communicator and provides wonderful updates and pictures during her stays. She is very attuned to the kitties and goes above and beyond to ensure they are taken care of and well adjusted.”
“Lori was absolutely fabulous, I trusted her completely and was able to be away for two weeks without worrying about my cat. Lori's communication during the cat sitting was excellent, and I came home to a very happy cat and everything in tip top shape! Thank you Lori, you are awesome!!”
“Trinity did an absolutely amazing job with our 2 pups. Took them on multiple walks a day to help burn off energy and potty. Always provided multiple pictures with her updates. We will definitely book with her again.”
“Katelyn was on time, communicative, and made sure our dogs were not only taken care of, but that they also had a super fun weekend. We greatly appreciate all of the photos and updates she provided while house and pet sitting for us! Definitely would recommend booking her!”
“Maryn is a superstar! My little girl was sick the entire time I was on vacation. Maryn gave her every medication needed and extra snuggles to help her feel better.”
“Stepanie was WONDERFUL! I usually worry when I'm away from my sweet girl, but I received lots of pictures and notes and could see she was in good hands! She is kind, responsible, and neat!”
“Mirette was wonderful! She helped us out at the last minute when our original sitter plans didn't work out. She was flexible, reliable, and took great care of our pups. She kept us updated, was great at communication. and respectful of our house. We would trust her with our pups again without any hesitation!”
“Absolutely loved having Izzy watching our dog for a week while we were away. She was communicative, timely, and did great with our boy. Will definitely use her services again!”
“Julia stayed at our house with our dog while we were out of town! She was great, would recommend & would have her house sit for us again! She sent photos, communicated promptly & left our home just the way she found it. We appreciate you Julia!”
“My dog Coco enjoyed 8 wonderful days with Anne-Marie. Coco got walks, pictures and lots of attention! Anne-Marie also took care of my house and communicated well. I highly recommend her!”
“Mattie took great care of our puppy Sahara. She provided us with regular updates and even spoke to the vet regarding Sahara’s medication. I will not hesitate to hire her for our future dog sitting needs.”
“Kalya was absolutely the best dog and home sitter we’ve ever had! She is incredibly easygoing, accommodating, and just an all-around wonderful person to have looking after your home and pets. Our two dogs are pretty spoiled, and, honestly, they can be A LOT. Kalya handled them with so much love, patience, and care that we felt completely at ease knowing they were in her hands. She even sent us pictures of them having the time of their lives at the dog park, which made being away from them so much easier! We also live in an older home with lots of quirky “personality,” and Kalya somehow figured out everything she needed to know without missing a beat. When we got home, the house was actually in better shape than when we left it! She even kept everything watered during some of the hottest days of the year. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Our dogs were happy, our home was cared for, and we came back feeling like everything had been handled perfectly. We really can’t say enough wonderful things about Kalya and would absolutely have her back in a heartbeat! —W”
“Kathryn is phenomenal. I have had her housesit for my 3 year old 10 pound toy poodle twice now. He suffers from separation anxiety and cannot be left alone for very long. The 2 times Kathryn has sat for me I was gone for long weekends. She stayed with him the entire time never leaving him alone. He absolutely adores her and is extremely comfortable with her. She is very loving and has no problems following the instructions I leave for her. I will only have her sit with him.”
“Luca was such an amazing dog sitter/house sitter! Our 2 bigger dogs loved having him around. They were very happy and content when we got back. Luca sent multiple updates and the house was amazing when we returned! Highly recommend Luca!”
“Phillip and Megan were wonderful! They gave the dogs undivided attention, helped my diabetic boy with his insulin shot twice a day, they are such nice people they left my house clean, I can’t say enough how much I love them!”
“Elizabeth and her husband did amazing, they went the extra mile to take my dogs on a walk and definitely played with my puppy. My dogs were so happy in their care and they were very well taken care of. They sent me pictures and updates throughout the day and night. I will definitely use them again to watch the pups!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Leawood
We were so lucky to have Randall watch our two Newfoundlands while we were out of the country for a week. He took such great care of them and sent lots of updates and pictures. It was a relief knowing they were so well taken care of while we were so far away. Highly recommend!
Emily is fantastic! We had her watch our dog and our daughter’s the day of her wedding . Emily stayed with the dogs the entire 12 hours and sent me some updates/pics during the time frame. This allowed us all to have a worry free wedding day which meant a great deal to us. I highly recommend Emily for your pet sitting needs!
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!
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!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Leawood is $42 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $72 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 1,614 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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 .
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
