I have a big home and nice yard for them to roam. I don’t currently have a cage but can get one or borrow one if need be. I stay pretty engaged with them throughout the stay.
“Maddi took excellent care of my dog, Luna. She kept me posted, and sent me lots of pictures while I was gone. Luna can be skeptical of new people, but became fast friends with Maddi. She watched Luna in my home, and I feel both Luna and my house were well cared for while I was gone!”

I know how important your dog is to you, so I will care for yours as I would mine, with lots of love, playtime, walks, and treats (in moderation).

I am willing to make most requests and special accommodations. Ask and I will let you know if I can meet your needs. In addition to walking and visiting with your dog, communication and updates are important services that I provide. When I am away from my pet, I want to know she's okay and receiving the best care. I'll send photos so you can confidently know that your pet is being taken care of; the photos will also give you a little smile to get you through the day.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lees Summit
Jennifer was very easy to work with and communicated well. She took the time to chat with us multiple times before staying with our pups to make sure she was as prepared as possible to meet their needs. We will definitely be using her again in the future! Thanks, Jennifer!
We loved having Jennifer at our home with our creatures. Great pics, our home was ready for us to return, there was even a basket of freshly grown produce from Jen's garden on the counter! Also, the pups got a ride to Andy's for a frozen yogurt, those pics were hilarious! All in all, we'd absolutely recommend Jennifer and we know our creatures look forward to her coming back.
Carmen went above and beyond! Her communication is too notch, keeping us updated on how they are doing. Our dogs immediately loved her when they met her and all the pictures she sent, they look deliriously happy! So grateful that we could have our trip with complete peace of mind knowing our fur babies were well loved!
Tiffany was the perfect sitter for our boy Frankie! She provided excellent care for him while we were out of town over Christmas. She was attentive to all his needs- including giving medication he needed for an ear infection that popped up right before we left town. Tiffany offered to meet Frankie and I before we left town which was super sweet and helpful so Frankie had familiarity with her before we left town. Tiffany stayed in our home with him and sent me daily updates and pictures. She also took him on walks and played with him in the back yard! The updates she provided let me know she spent good quality time with him and that made me feel super comfortable while we were away. I will definitely use Tiffany again in the future and would recommend her to anyone. So thankful that we found her!

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 Lees Summit 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 Lees Summit 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 Lees Summit 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!

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 .

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.
