“Stephanie was so helpful and kind with our two dogs! This was a first time using Rover and Stephanie exceeded all needs and eased our worry. With a senior dog who needs extra care and a younger dog who has much more energy, she was able to accommodate both of our boys to keep them happy and safe!”
“Allison was great, she was easy to get a hold of and was always on time. Allison was great with both my dog and cat and the pets really liked her. She even went the extra mile and changed her schedule so it would work better for us. I would recommend her and look forward to working with her again in the future.”
“Mallory was great! She was kind and professional and gave great updates and you could tell she cared for my dogs - I would definitely use her again.”
“Megan was great with a couple check-ins while we were out of town. Our pup clearly felt comfortable with her and enjoyed belly rubs even though they’d never met before. Would hire again for sure!”
“Deidre came to the rescue when our plans fell through for our dog last minute- she was able to come care for and let him out for a few days! She sent lots of pictures- and took good care of him.”
“August is very thorough and takes great care in providing updates. My cats were provided with one on one treatment during the time they were cared for which was greatly appreciated. I will definitely use August again!”
“Michelle was an amazing sitter. She cared for our cat while we were gone for the holidays and knowing he was in good hands made our trip much more enjoyable. She was very attentive and provided us updates. We would highly recommend her.”
“Meg was a really great pet sitter. This was my first time out of town after my cat had to be hospitalized. So I was a little trepidatious to leave my cat alone. Meg was sure to follow all of my directions and gave me plenty of updates with pictures. All of my fears and worries were mitigated with my cat in her care. I look forward to booking her again for my next trip!”
“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.”
“Bones and Margie absolutely love Christina! Shes always on time and with me working over an hour a way shes someone i can trust. Highly recommend her for your fur babies!”
“I can’t possibly express how much my partner and I cherish Caroline’s time with our nervous dog, Oswald. The friendship she’s built with him is a truly unique experience that will forever change his impression of making new friends, and in turn, forever change Ozzy’s long-term quality of life. We were both uncertain of whether he would ever enjoy hanging out with a new person without his family present. With time and patience, he’s now excited to spend time with her. He doesn’t even glance back at us when we let him outside to see her anymore, just takes off running! He looks forward to every Monday with her. It has been inexplicably special to see Ozzy make his first ever all-by-himself friend. Caroline has completely blown us away in how she’s connected with our nervous boy. Our family is forever grateful for the impact she’s made on Ozzy!”
“I am so thankful on this Thanksgiving Day to have Rachel visit Oliver! She was right on time and gave me a thorough review with photos. I really appreciated that since it was our first time working together. I will absolutely call on her the next time we need care! Thank you, Rachel!”
“Dalton did such a great job with both our pets. He asked great questions about their specific needs before we left and he did a great job of keeping us updated on their well-being while we were away!”
“Marissa did an outstanding job caring for my two cats over my wedding weekend. Her thoughtful updates and adorable photo check-ins gave me so much peace of mind during such a hectic time. She followed every instruction to the letter, and I could tell my cats felt safe and comfortable, their usual post-trip skittishness was completely gone. I’m so grateful for her care and can’t wait to book her again!”
“We have been using Kayah to let our dogs out during the week while we are at work for 30min drop-in visit slots. She has done a great job so far for us. She is great at communication via the Rover texting/messaging service. She has given both dogs great attention and care - giving them food, taking them on a quick trip up and down the street to go to the bathroom, and just giving them love and playtime. We are happy we found her and plan to continue to use her for as long as we need help during the day. Really appreciate her help with our fur babies.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Leawood
This was my first time hiring someone to take care of my cat. Meg put me right at ease during our first meeting. She was communicative, attentive and helped me feel confident in the care my 19 year old cat was receiving. We were very grateful to have found her!
Amber came to our home for the first time to sit with our new (to us) dog Rigsby. Amber not only arrived on time she followed our guidelines to a tee. Rigsby took to her immediately which allowed me to get to my appointment on time. I would highly recommend this young lady to help you with your dog needs.
Dani took wonderful care of our cat, Dali! She was reliable, kind, and kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that Dali was well cared for and comfortable with her. We really appreciated her attention and care, and we wouldn't hesitate to book with Dani again. Highly recommend!
I cannot thank Griffin enough for my last minute request coverage. Nothing makes you more anxious than worrying about who is caring for your baby. I know she was a little stand offish at first but he was patient and took great care of her. Would definitely hire again!
This was our first time using Rover and Kristin was fantastic with our two Frenchies! From the start, she was very fast to respond and I loved her experience. She came by for a meet and greet so our little rescue who can be nervous around new people would be comfortable. I got an update and pictures after each drop in so even while I was traveling, I had peace of mind they were okay. Highly recommend Kristin!
Vanessa has a way of putting animals at ease that is so impressive! She is a very thoughtful caretaker who asks great questions and shares fun things she notices about our boys. As a reactive dog mom, I felt comfortable leaving our dog in her care and she went above and beyond to show them extra care and communicated well with us!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Leawood on Rover is $17.76 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 2,875 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Leawood. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Leawood stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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.
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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Leawood. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 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.
