“Jordan was wonderful to my pup Lilli! She stopped by for a drop-in to check up on her. She followed all instructions, kept me updated and sent me pictures! I highly recommend her for any pet care needs! Lilli is a higher needs dog and Jordan was able to check off all the boxes for her!”
About: I have always loved dogs and grew up with my own and truly enjoy taking care of them. I'm dependable, attentive, and experienced with petsitting, I will treat your animals like family. I work full time, but have a flexible enough schedule to care for your pets. I am very willing to negotiate a flexible schedule to meet you and your pets needs. I am free in the evenings and weekends! I would prefer staying at my clients home. I have found that this is easier for the pet to be comfortable in their own home and space.
“Michael is wonderful! Our cat has to be pilled manually every day and is very attention hungry. Michael spent quality time with her and pilled her daily while we were out of town. He also took lots of pictures.”
“Roxanne is fabulous! When meeting Roxanne for the first time, Ollie took to her immediately. We knew he would be in good hands, and he was. She followed the instructions we left her perfectly and sent us photos during her drop-in with Ollie! Thank you, Roxanne, for taking such good care of him and allowing us to relax and enjoy our wedding day!”
“We recently had Jessica watch our cat over Labor Day weekend and she was great! She brought in packages for us, was so sweet to our cat and sent thorough updates after each visit. It was also very comforting knowing she has a veterinary background. We will definitely reach out to her again to watch our baby the next time we travel!”
About: My job is to help your dog(s) be most comfortable while you're away. Be it through daily exercise, romps through the dog or neighborhood park, constant rub downs and playing chase, your pup(s) won't even have a moment to realize you're gone, but they'll still be thrilled to see you when you get home. I've been dog sitting for over 20 years and have experience with various types of dogs, dog personalities, and health conditions. Contact me to watch your pooch(es) and you won't regret it! I love dogs and walk my dog regularly. My dog loves being around other dogs but we’re a single dog house for our full-time lives. I’d love my dog to get some extra friend time while I get to love on other pups. I have a fenced yard, the perfect raised deck for puppy tv, yard leashes (if needed), a crate (if needed), several bedroom options if your pup needs a quiet place to rest, and sooo many dog beds! I do use furniture protectors to keep my couches clean for the humans but it allows the dogs to live among us on our elevated perches.
About: After 7 plus years of watching pets of all ages and activity levels for our friends and co-workers, we gained a lot of experience with dogs. Whether it was the dachshund with back issues that needed help up the stairs or pack of 6 Bulldogs including 4 puppies that needed constant stimulation, or the lazy golden retriever just just needed lots of cuddles, we were always up to the task. We took a break to start our own family. During this time we adopted our own dog Max, a Newfoundland mix, from a shelter. We helped him through lots of behaviour issues and learned a lot ourselves over the last 10 years. Most recently we have added, Hank, the golden retriever. He is our world ❤️. We hope you will allow our family to extend our experience and love for dogs to yours. Carl works from home and Marie is currently homeschooling Henry and Jack. When we do leave the house, it is no more than 2 hours at a time or we will let you know. We allow our dog the free roam the house, but we have room for a crate if that is preferred. We have plenty of room for extra fur babies, and a fenced yard (3ft chain linked) for lots of outdoor play. Our 2 kids and young golden retriever help with keeping guests active and engaged. There is always room for one more so there may be other dogs during your pups stay.
About: I have been a pet owner for over 40 years. I work from home, so I am always available for your precious pets! I also have a half an acre, fully gated yard-for plenty of space to roam! I am great with dogs, and also the Purrfect Cat Sitter! I work from home, so that allows me the flexibility to have extra daytime snuggles. I have always been great with animals, so a Sitter spot on Rover is totally a perfect fit for me! My home is gated around the half acre perimeter, and very pet friendly. If away with a client in their home- I make sure the animals have ample space to get to know me on their terms, as often they might be sad to be in the care of someone other than their #1's. I believe their comfort and safety is most important, so I strive to be their favorite substitute!
About: Ever since I was a young child, I've been obsessed with animals. I've happily grown up with dogs and cats as the center of my world. I've pet sat for several neighbors during high school and since I've graduated. I'm reliable and can be trusted with your fur babies needs and care. I look forward to working with you. Dog-sitting is my main thing, so i'll be available to take care of your baby no matter the hours! Just contact me and we can discuss :) I can stay over for as long as needed, taking care of your babies and keeping them fed, well rested and exercised! If you have any specific routines your baby needs to follow day-by-day just tell me about them and i'll follow them!
About: With experience in veterinary medicine, I’ve learned how to care for pets who need extra attention and a gentle touch. I’m confident, compassionate, and skilled at handling even the most sensitive furry friends. As a college student with a flexible schedule, I have the time and energy to give your pet the attention they deserve. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or extra care, I’m here to make sure they feel safe and loved while you’re away.

I even have fish that many pets enjoy watching—it’s a little extra entertainment to help them feel relaxed and engaged while you're away
“Piper was super attentive and spent a lot of time getting to know Finn we really appreciate her! And we will definitely use her again She was also really super communicating with me.”
About: Hello my name is Anna! I have had dogs and cats all my life and have been dog sitting for my family for years. I am very comfortable around all breeds and sizes, including high energy breeds and have had experience with many different dog personalities. I have such a passion for animals and I can not wait to shower your pets with love and care. I am a nurse, so I am very responsible and am comfortable administering medications to your pup or cat.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for neighbors, family, and friends since I was about six years old. My experience includes walking, feeding, playing, and keeping pets on their usual routines while their owners are away. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and energy levels, including older dogs that need a slower pace. I also have experience with cats and genuinely enjoy caring for them. I focus on being dependable, attentive, and making sure pets feel comfortable and well cared for. I am unable to come for pets in my own home but am more than comfortable coming to yours. I am very mindful of peoples spaces and always try to keep the home in the same condition I left it. Before caring for your pet, I’d like to know as much as I can about them! Tell me their favorite toys and games, things they dislike (walks on leashes, paws being touched, etc.), silly quirks they may have, medication details and administration, fears or triggers they have and what to do if these arise, and any unconventional behaviors or references you guys may have. I also want to hear what you love about your pet. What are some ways I can care for them while making sure they are still getting the love and comfort they get from you? I am a full-time online grad student. I am working part time in the area and my schedule is very consistent and not flexible. I work Tuesday-Saturday 11:30am-4:30pm. Please make sure this works with your pets schedule before reaching out. I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort in my client’s home. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, and routines. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure, and I always supervise pets during walks and playtime. I keep environments clean, calm, and low-stress, and I’m careful to notice any changes in behavior or health. I treat every home with respect and make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away.
About: I've taken care of many different types of breeds of dogs, specializing in bully breeds, for over 30 years. I recently retired from registered nursing and would love to continue to take care of non humans! I love dogs and am very active. I believe that dogs need love and most importantly exercise! I have trained puppies and cared for senior dogs. Your doggy/doggies will feel right at home and you can be sure they will become a part of our family! I am recently retired and I have all the time in the world to care for dogs! I am very physically active and I will diligently exercise all my doggy friends! I am very dependable and have a wide open schedule with ample flexibility. I have a fenced yard and your doggy will have a female mixed lab to play with! Be assured that your doggy will get plenty of exercise and love while in my care.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lenexa
This was our first time having Claire do drop in visits for our dog, and she was awesome! She let us know when she arrived and sent pictures every day so we knew he was being well cared for. I wouldn’t hesitate to use Claire the next time we need a caregiver for our dog.
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 :)
Excellent. She takes a lot of pictures, worked with my chihuahua (who is tough), and completed all the tasks as asked and then some. Would recommend and will ask her to come back. She is warm, kind, and approachable on her first impression. I’m always a little uneasy leaving my home and dogs and her first impression helped a lot.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Lenexa is $18 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $12 and $27 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 2,744 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Lenexa. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
To find sitters in Lenexa with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lenexa. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
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. 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.
