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)
“Our two cats adored August, who treated them like family. August also went over and beyond to accommodate us while I had e-sim issues overseas. Our two “kids” were so very well cared for, were so very happy and grateful we found August who will for sure be our first go-to in the future. Thanks SO much!”
About: ✨ About Me Hi! I’m Shauna — a full-time pet lover and trusted caregiver in the Lenexa, KS and surrounding areas. 🐶💖 Also Lawrence KS area. I’ve cared for animals my whole life, from playful puppies to senior sweethearts who need a little extra love and attention. I treat every fur baby like my own — with safety, comfort, and tons of affection.

“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 watched our 2 kittens for our first weekend trip away. She was so responsive, shared the best updates and photos and even came to meet us/the cats prior to the weekend to make sure she understood what was needed. Will definitely use her again!”
About: I work from home full-time. This means your pet will receive frequent supervision, companionship, potty & play breaks and lots of attention throughout the day! I will provide a safe and loving environment where your pet will be comfortable and cared for like they are part of the family. I've cared for animals in every stage of life. I have extensive experience with cats including bottle-feeding orphaned kittens, caring for senior cats, and supporting pets with age related needs. I also have experience with puppies, adult dogs, and senior dogs, and I understand that each pet requires individualized care, patience, and attention. Open to hosting dogs in home and drop ins for cats. I work from home full-time, allowing me to provide frequent supervision and attention throughout the day. Work is flexible allowing for lots of love and activities. I have a large, fully fenced backyard for supervised outdoor play with my dog. When not outdoors our house guest will primarily stay with me in my home office as my co-worker and side kick. With lots of breaks for tummy rubs and head scritches of course!
“Allison was absolutely exceptional with my girls, Bella and Izzy while we went on vacation. She went above and beyond every single day, showering both pups with so much love and care. My ball-obsessed Lab had the best time when Allison played ball with her (even in the snow)—she really embraced her endless energy and made sure she got all the play she craves. Izzy got her special walks too! She did all the little extras, sent tons of adorable photos and updates so I never worried once while on our trip. I could tell from every message that both Bella and Izzy were getting the best possible care. Allison is incredibly reliable, thoughtful, and clearly passionate about what she does. I felt completely at peace having her help with my dogs and I can’t wait to book with her again soon. Highly recommend Allison to anyone looking for a trustworthy, loving sitter—she’s a true gem!”

I provide consistent daily and weekly care, including walks, drop-ins, and enrichment. I follow each pet’s routine closely, ensuring reliability, attention, and a happy, safe environment.

“Marlee was amazing! Our dog had TPLO surgery and with a family birthday on Saturday Marlee was able to stay with our dog for a few hours so we could enjoy the day worry free! She was thoughtful about making sure she got her medicine and was okay using the bathroom. In a stressful recovery time she was a life saver!!”
“Rachel took excellent care of Gizmo, my cat, while I was away! She was very communicative, sent updates for every visit, and was always on time. I highly recommend her!”
About: I have 3 cats, two dogs, bearded dragon and fish of my own. I will treat yours like mine and hope you will see that. I also take horse riding lessons so can help with that too! I work from home 3 days of the week so can help on my lunch and after work, which typically ends at 4:30! I am looking forward to helping you where/when I can! My whole zoo loves me more than my husband haha 😂 They trust me wholeheartedly and I am very aware of cat/dog cues and have saved and re-homed multiple strays! I have a fenced in home to keep my own animals safe, and my pups wear jackets if they need one! My cats are in home only! I also leave a VERY detailed letter and checklist for my own family/friends who animal sit for me when I am away!
About: I grew up with dogs and all of my kids have dogs, so not only am I a grandpa, I was a dog grandpa first! I also sit and love cats. They always find me. Had four dogs in my house for many times watching when my kids traveled, but now they moved so I have more time to get my fur feed. I take walks and would love to walk your pups but also can follow your guidelines doing the best to keep their routine. I work from home but occasionally have appointments outside of the home, so I am very available to work with your schedule. I will share my schedule with you when booking. I have a fenced yard and a great neighborhood for walking. Friendly home environment with access to fresh food/water and sunshine. Your dog/cat will be well-loved.
About: I have three years of consistent dog-walking experience with the same family and their two dachshunds, visiting three times a week (1 hour walking) without missing a scheduled walk. That long-term commitment taught me the importance of reliability, routine, and building trust with both pets and their owners. I have also provided dog-sitting care for several families, often for about one month at a time, and have cared for dogs of different sizes and personalities. I take time to understand each pet’s normal routine, energy level, preferences, and communication style so they can feel safe and comfortable in my care. In addition to dogs, I am comfortable caring for cats and have many years of experience around horses through riding and handling. This has helped me become patient, observant, calm, and attentive to changes in an animal’s behavior. I genuinely enjoy building a bond through dependable care, play, companionship, and respect for each pet’s individual needs. I currently have a flexible weekday schedule and am usually available Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. I have plenty of time to give each pet calm, unhurried attention and am happy to follow their usual routine for walks, meals, playtime, rest, and companionship. I know how important it is for pets to feel safe and comfortable in their own routine. I take time to learn each pet’s feeding schedule, personality, favorite activities, boundaries, and any special instructions from their owner. Whether I am caring for a dog or a cat, I keep doors and gates secure, handle leashes and carriers carefully, and pay attention to their behavior and comfort level. I also respect the owner’s home, keep pet areas clean, and leave everything as I found it. I am happy to send photos and updates during each visit, so you can relax knowing your pet is being cared for with patience, attention, and kindness.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lenexa
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.
We absolutely love it when Brianna watches our babies! She is kind sweet patient and knowledgeable about her craft. She sends us daily updates, letting us know how the babies are doing, and it takes that much stress away from us worrying about the dogs all the time! Thank you for your services

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Lenexa 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.
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
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.

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.
