“Very quick to reply and very accommodating! Provided great care and followed all instructions for my puppy! Definitely very trustworthy! Thank you so much, Claire!”
“Erin was great! She responded right away when we were looking for someone to care for our cat, Max, over the holiday. We set up a meet & greet and she was very friendly and accommodating. This was our first time w/a Rover sitter. The evening she was scheduled, she arrived at the right time to feed Max & give his insulin. It was a good experience!”
“Anna is great! She watched our cat for a week, sent us lots of pictures, and even brought some unexpected packages in for us. We will definitely use her again next time we leave town!”
“Gordon was awesome! Our 8-year old Pyrenees, Nala, who is good aggressive and has never been left with non-family members. Gordon made it manageable. He even dropped back by an extra time (after Nala caught and ate an adult squirrel) to take her out for an extra poo. Gordon’s pictures and funny comments gave us peace of mind during our son’s wedding in Texas.”
“Elizabeth was a great cat-sitter who took her time to learn about our cat's behavior. She responded with a well-detailed Rover card at each visit and kept in contact whenever a question occurred. She will be my first-choice on Rover for all future needs.”
“Mackenzie was so amazing! She stayed right on schedule and made sure to communicate with me each day and even helped me recognize that i incorrectly scheduled her assistance plan and got it all squared away for me. Will definitely be requesting her services again!”
“Emily did a drop-in visit with our two big dogs to let them out and give them some attention. She did everything we needed her to do and the dogs got plenty of love. We will definitely use her again soon.”
“Paul and Becky are simply the best! They visit my elderly mother's Poodle every weekend morning. They are providing a great service for my mom, our family, and of course, Franny! Very kind and trustworthy!”
“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!”
“Alexandria was very good with my pups, she made sure to ask questions to learn a little more about my pups situation, and gave a feeling like she treats your dogs like her own!”
“Emily is great! She is very flexible on dates and times. Has been great with my dogs and in following the routine my wife and I have for them. I know they enjoy it as they love attention. Highly recommend Emily!”
About: 20 years of experience as a personal trainer and mom has made me patient, attentive, and physically active. I’m skilled at handling different energy levels and treat every doggie with the same care I give my own. I am currently working part time training clients based on one hour sessions. I have flexibility and make my own schedule. So I’ll have many available options throughout the day. I am available for walks and to come let your fur baby out to play and or go for a walk or if they just need some tummy scratches
“Kelly was super communicative and showed up on time for each of the drop in visits with my cats. She took tons of photos and when I came home a week later the cats barely reacted, which lets me know they were well looked after and didn't feel starved for attention (or food!). I would definitely recommend Kelly!”
“Victoria is a wonderful cat sitter. She checked in exactly when we asked and spent time with our senior cat. We had to add medication in between booking and the visit and Victoria was willing and able to help us with that. We will 100% be using her again in the future.”
About: I have had a major role in caring for and training pets since I was 11 years old. I have experience with potty training, and in the training of both obedience and basic tricks for dogs from puppy to adult. On the other end of the spectrum I have some experience in taking care of senior and pets with medical conditions. My current kitty has hyperthyroidism at almost 20 years old which requires daily medication and care. I currently only work part time, so I have plenty of time in my afternoons and evenings for providing pet care and services! I am typically off work by 2pm on weekdays which leaves my afternoon and evening open for care. As far as the weekend goes I am open all day Saturday and afternoons/evenings on Sundays. I am both cat and dog first aid certified, which includes basic wound care, administrating proper CPR, and knowing the signs of illness or injury in pets. I have a first aid kit with basic wound care necessities that I keep with me during visits. upon taking new clients I ensure I get at least 1 emergency contact's information, a list of allergies or medical information, the location of the nearest emergency vet, and any specific needs of the pet. I will always move at a pace comfortable for your pet when meeting for the first time, and will never rush or make them uncomfortable.
About: I’ve had pets since I was a child, I am very comfortable with all sizes and ages of animals. Trustworthy, responsible and punctual. Love being around animals! I am a teacher so usually around in the afternoons. I live in an area that is great to walk in and I enjoy being around animals and taking care of them. I have been a pet owner all my life. My own dog, Olive, has regular walks, treats, toys and play. I love being around animals and would offer a pet the same type of love and care that I do for my own. I have a fenced in yard and am on my own every other week. (I have two boys-age 13 and 15)
About: I’ve always had dogs and cats growing up, and they're like family. I live in an apartment right now, but when I have a home with more space and a yard, I am absolutely adopting a dog(s). I have a lifetime of experience with pets and am comfortable around different sizes and breeds. I’m willing to accommodate any special needs your furry friend might need (just please message me in advance). If you have any questions, feel free to message me and I look forward to hearing from you! I have two kids and do part time freelance work. I make my own schedule and work remotely so I am able to do both without having to worry about being double booked. Inviting someone into your home to take care of your pet is an important responsibility and I take it very seriously. Any guidelines or boundaries you may have in your home or with your pet will be adhered to. Your furry friend will be in good hands!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lenexa
Yanli came through for us at the last minute to watch our dog Chloe, who is not the best with new people, and she was amazing! She did a great job being patient with Chloe and making her feel comfortable. We’re so happy we found her and would definitely recommend her. 😊
If you’re reading this, stop scrolling and book Lettie immediately. Just do it. We have two dogs: Oskar (a 70 lb Golden Doodle) and Wallace (a 125 lb Newfoundland). Together, that is 195 pounds of sheer, unadulterated canine mass. We were dangerously close to boarding Oskar for the very first time—cue the extreme paw-parent guilt—when Lettie swooped in like a caped crusader to save the day. Letting her watch them was infinitely better than boarding could have ever been, especially since she house-sat for us. Our giant babies got to stay right in their comfort zone (our couch) while we were away. But Lettie didn’t just dog-sit; she is a veritable dog whisperer. She didn't just keep them fed and happy; she ran a full-time, five-star canine boot camp. She worked on advanced training, commands, and obedience with them all day, every day. I’m honestly convinced she swapped our dogs with highly trained body doubles while we were gone, because we came home to two brand-new, perfectly polite gentlemen. While we were away, Lettie sent the absolute best daily text updates. We got daily cinematic masterpieces (videos) of the boys walking, actually obeying commands, and adapting to her training. They were downright hilarious, wildly reassuring, and undeniably the highlight of our day, every day. Her absolute crowning achievement? She walked both of these dogs together. Single-handedly. That’s nearly a tenth of a ton of dog on two leashes. We previously thought this feat defied the laws of physics and human anatomy, but Lettie made it happen. Lettie is an absolute legend. 10/10, five stars, four enthusiastic paws up. We couldn't recommend her more highly!
Vasily was amazing! She was always on time for every visit with our pups while we were out of town. Each visit came with an update including pictures about what they did together and how the dogs were doing. She made sure they were very well taken care of and we had absolutely nothing to worry about. We have three big dogs and she got to know each one of their personalities and took the time to play with them and give them lots of love every visit. She even left them with adorable bandannas. We will most definitely be using her in the future and recommending her to friends/family.
We had a fantastic experience! Communication was excellent, and we received plenty of updates and photos throughout our dog’s booking. When we unexpectedly got stuck out of town, she even came by for an unplanned visit to make sure our dog was cared for, which gave us so much peace of mind. It’s clear she truly cares about the pets she looks after. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her!
Perfect for peace of mind when we take a quick overnight trip. All of our drop in visits went as planned right on schedule with good communication. I love seeing pictures of our pets relaxing at home while we have adventures, and all the animals were doing great when we got back.
Stacy took car of my 3 large dogs while I traveled for a day. She took them to the dog park, walked them, and sat with them and loved on them outside during the day. They had a great day even though “mom” was off having her own fun. Good communication and pictures. Would definitely have her watch them again :)
Jennifer did a wonderful job caring for our three dogs - one of which is a senior dog. She is a great communicator and established a strong rapport quickly with our fuzzy family. We strongly recommend her to anyone needing professional, compassionate care for their pets.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- 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;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
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.
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 Lenexa 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!
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.
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 Meet & Greet .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
