“Jennifer was great! She came over once a day to feed the cat and clean the litter box. I got lots of updates and photos. It was nice to get messages from someone who enjoyed hanging out with my cat.”
“Griffin was awesome with my 9 month old, energetic puppy! He was reliable and prompt and sent awesome updates with pictures! Would definitely recommend!”
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.
“August was outstanding. We booked ten drop-in visits over the holidays for our two cats, and everything was handled with care, consistency, and attention to detail. Feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime, and weight monitoring were all done perfectly. Communication was excellent, with detailed updates and plenty of photos after each visit. Even our request for an additional day of care was accommodated easily. August also went above and beyond by bringing in packages and offering thoughtful, practical suggestions to help reduce our cats’ stress while we were away. One of our cats sprays outside the litter box when stressed, and every incident was cleaned promptly without hesitation. Visits were consistently on schedule, which really helped our cats adjust. It was clear real time was spent getting to know our little guys, including remembering which toys each cat preferred and making sure both cats got their wet and dry food, even though one tends to bully the other at mealtime. We felt completely at ease knowing our cats were in such capable hands, and would not hesitate to book again or recommend August to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive sitter.”
About: We have 2 dogs that enjoy making new friends! We have a fully fenced in backyard with plenty of room to run and play. Our dogs are very social and get along with others quickly. Memphis has been certified as a therapy dog in which we utilized positive reinforcement training techniques. Mollee and Memphis are always happy to host a play date! Our work schedules vary from week to week, but we will have both weekday and weekend availability. We let the dogs come in and out as they please (weather permitting). Our dogs get plenty of exercise throughout the week and we also routinely work on training techniques. Our backyard is fully fenced in, we have lots of toys to play with and surveillance cameras for added safety measures. Pets are allowed on furniture in our house and we also have plenty of dog beds for napping! Special accommodations can be provided upon request.
About: I've grown up with dogs my whole life and had a mini dachshund for 15 years. Over the last decade I've been called on numerous times to watch and board dogs for friends, family and neighbors. I am a single dad who has custody of my kids 50/50 so when I don't have them I could give a dog my full attention and be its buddy! On weekends we could hit a trail or go for a long walk at a park. Monday through Friday I usually leave for work around 6:45 or 7, and will return home around 4 pm. And in the evening we'll hang out and have fun! I live within walking distances to a few parks for walks. The Trolley Trail is nearby too if your pet likes a bit of a longer walk.
“My first time leaving Bella for an extended period of time and Jessica made it so easy! Bella got all the cuddles, a clean litter box and I got peace of mind knowing she was taken care of. Thank you Jessica!”
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.
“Hanna was great with both my cats, playing with the friendly one and giving the shy one his space. She kept me up to date with the cats and even brought in our trash bin!”
About: I have owned pets my entire life, all kinds! From dogs and cats to birds and reptiles, my house has always been full of animals we have adored. I would love to love on your pets when you are needing them cared for! I am a full time nursing student, but my classes are all online so I am home everyday and/or available to come to your home. My kids homeschool two days a week as well so your pets would have extra care and love on those days. My kids are amazing with animals too! I have a pet safe environment which includes a 6 foot fence around our back yard for dogs if they come to us. I also keep our house locked even while we are home to ensure safety.
About: I am a responsible professional who is looking to make some extra money outside of my full-time job in tech. I love dogs and many other types of animals and have 2 dogs, Severus and Hagrid, whom I live with at home. My availability is relatively flexible, and I can work from home during the week. During the week I am available to stay overnight at your house and may be able to stop by in the middle of a weekday, depending on your location. During your absence I am also willing to take in your mail or water your plants. While I am available on weekends, I will need advanced notice to ensure that I am able to accommodate your request. My skills include experience training a puppy and caring for animals other than dogs. I have been pet/house sitting for families since I was eight, taking care of various types of animals such as dogs, reptiles, cats, and fish. I work full time M-F but have the flexibility to work remotely if I choose to do so. I am available evenings and weekends, as well as during the workday to let out dogs for bathroom breaks. I offer in-home boarding in my home for dogs, house sitting in the owner’s home (available to stay overnight in the home) for both dogs and cats, and drop-in visits.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Leawood
Luz is amazing. She took really great care of my cats. She is quick to respond to messages, and always sends great pics and videos. She went above and beyond when I ran out of cat food. She purchased more food to get my cats through the last day. I appreciate her actions so much. I will definitely be using her services again.
Jennifer and her husband watched our cats while we were on our honeymoon for two weeks and did a fantastic job. They sent us thorough updates each day and gave our problem cat his pill each morning. They followed instructions perfectly, played with them, cleaned up nicely, and gave us peace of mind while we were gone. This was our first time booking with them and would do it again in a heartbeat. We appreciate the care you provided to our boys! Thank you!

- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins.

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 .
