“Caroline has been such a blessing for our family. My partner’s dog Ozzy has a hard time connecting with new people and isn’t very confident. Caroline has been so unbelievably patient and kind with him. We really appreciate the time she’s taken to become Ozzy’s friend and earn his trust!”
“Deidre communicated well during her drop in visits and sent us pictures as well! We appreciated her watching our dogs last minute and would recommend her to anyone! 😊”
“Stephanie was great! She was very responsive and communicative leading up to and during her drop-in and I will definitely be reaching out to her again!”
“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!”
“I have been beyond pleased with Natalie’s drop in visits for my dog! I was put in a bind where I had to find someone to let my dog out over the lunch hour on very short notice with a return to office mandate in place. Natalie responded to the request right away and completely saved me from any anxiety I might have had with leaving my dog at home all day. Natalie is consistently on time with the scheduled drop ins and provides an excellent high level summary of what took place while she was there with a photo of my dog. I couldn’t recommend her enough to anyone needing services for their pets. You will not be disappointed!”
“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!”
“Mallory was our savior! On a trip out of town, our automatic chicken door stopped working in the mornings, and she was able to start right away to let our girls out, even with all of the snow. She was quick to respond and always arrived on time.”
“We are newbies to Rover and Marler did not disappoint. Our kitty 'Dite is not much of a people kitty but Markee did a great job with taking care of 'Dite.'Marlee actually got'Dite to interact with her. So it's a paws up to Marlee!”
About: I have grown up with dogs of all ages my whole life and helped take care of them. I am very active, love dogs and would love to be able to help people walk their dogs. Since I already regularly go on walks, dog walking fits right into my schedule and gives me a good reason to keep walking every day. Getting a sense for the kind of dog, and their personality is definitely big. Always go into it as gently as possible. For walking, looking for the size and how in shape the dog is for the duration of the walk, and making sure it’s not too much.
“Michelle was amazing! I was a little worried after we had a sitter last year that didn't meet our expectations but Michelle met all of them! She was great with Neeley during her initial visit and I know Neeley was in good hands for the entire week. I really appreciated Michelle's consistent check-ins and pictures as well!”
“Meg did a FANTASTIC job managing our Menagerie while we were away! Truly caring and we felt like our babies were in fully capable hands! 10/10 would recommend and will definitely use again in the future!”
“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.”
About: Growing up, we had a plethora of pets from dogs to snakes. Since I was young I've always loved animals and taking care of our own. We currently have two dogs, a King Charles and a Greater Swiss Mountain Dog who I have been loving and taking care of all my life. In recent years, family and friends have entrusted me with their pets. I have experience taking care of puppies and senior dogs. I am currently back in Kansas City for my summer break from college, so I have a lot of availability. I am free from 9 am to 9 pm most days, with flexibility. In my home, pets are part of the family, I have every intention of carrying this to your home, and being your pets new friend. Whether it's playing in the living room, to walking around the neighborhood.
“Lily did a fabulous job caring for our 2 senior cats for 2 weeks. She made clear efforts to befriend them, and her communications and updates were great. She has made leaving our babies alone far less stressful. We will happily book her again.”
“Kylee was a WONDERFUL Rover sitter! She was on time based on our agreement every day, she treated my pup like her own, and sent the best pictures! I will definitely book her again! (Once Coronavirus allows me to get back to business as usual).”
“We have used Dalton twice now. Alice (Senior lab) and Priscilla (blind Senior chihuahua) are very happy with him. He goes above and beyond for them. It gives us peace of mind knowing they're in good hands when we are away and I don't trust my dogs with just anyone.”
“This is our first time using Rover and we’re so happy we’ve found Faith to take care of our puppy! She did 1 one hour drop in for us, and sent us a few pictures and a video of Peanut. We will definitely use her services again and highly recommend Faith to anyone looking for a loving and attentive pet sitter.”

Amber is a very reliable, friendly and caring pet sitter! She took a fantastic care of our cat Elvis while we were away, followed all the instructions and our home was just in the same state as we left it. We appreciated daily updates and pictures and we will definitely book again when we go away! We highly recommend Amber!
Jeffrey is the absolute BEST! I feel like he really went above and beyond while caring for my two kitties. What I appreciated most was that he took the time to leave detailed reports on their behavior along with everything he did during each visit, so I knew they were in good hands and well taken care of. I hope I can book him again next time we travel!
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Leawood on Rover is $16.65 per visit (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 2,965 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.
