About: I work from home full-time. 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 experience with puppies, adult dogs, and senior dogs as well as cats of all ages. I understand that each pet requires individualized care, patience, and attention. My family really enjoy opening our home and hearts to your fur babies while your away. 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!
“Devin took great care of our Hunter. Her pics let me know Hunter was doing well and her status reports to us helped me understand what happened at each visit. I will definitely use Devin again when we need someone to check in on our pets.”
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. When your pet is with me, they’re family. ❤️ I do work a full time job but I can always get away to for your pets needs. We can always work out a schedule. My dogs are more then my dogs I see them as my kids so I make sure they are well taken care of even when I go out of town. Spoiled
“Austin was great with our cats! Our cats usually don't like new people but they both took to Austin very quickly. He sent plenty of updates and pictures throughout the week and even cleaned up their hairballs/vomit when it occurred. Would recommend booking with Austin if you need someone great and trustworthy to watch your pets.”
“Victoria is great with our elder cat Lola! She is always on time and gives Lola all of the love she needs. Communication is great. We are so happy we found someone we can trust.”
“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!”
About: I have had a major role in caring for and training pets since I was 11 years old. I have lots of experience both adult and puppy dogs so I am quite familiar with potty training and that wild puppy energy that requires some extra patience. On the other end of the spectrum I also have some experience in taking care of senior pets and pets with medical conditions and being there to provide that extra care and time for them. 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. I am open for bookings every Thursday and Friday from 1pm to 10pm. I also open bookings on Monday and Tuesdays if I am available with these same times (: 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. I will always ensure to gather appropriate and necessary information regarding your pets health, behavior, and specific needs. 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.
“I booked Anna for drop in visits for my 2 cats and she was fantastic! She came to meet in person before the booking and was very patient with getting the cats to warm up to her. She also brought in my trash can and cleaned up a mess on my carpet which was unnecessary but so appreciated. She even got really sick the last day and she sent her partner to do the drop in even after I told her to not worry about coming at all! So nice and will definitely be rebooking the next time I go out of town.”
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!
“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 had a number of families count on me to take care of both their children and pets for over 20 years (including dogs, cats, birds, and fish). Recently, I've taken care of a few family members' senior dogs and cats so I am experienced with administering medications. In my own free time I love going for walks (as well as runs if your dog would like that). I am a flight instructor at one of the local airports which gives me a flexible schedule. There are also days when the weather isn’t “flight friendly” (hello spring!) which allows me to stop by and walk your dog/feed your pet. I show up when needed, talk to the pets, show them lots of love and attention, and take care of my responsibilities (feeding, letting outside, walking, medication etc). My main gig is flight instructing. Everything in flying has a checklist so you can count on me to follow any instructions you leave me.
“Jennifer was great! She came over once a day to feed the cat and clean the litter box. I got lots of updates and photos. It was nice to get messages from someone who enjoyed hanging out with my cat.”
“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.”

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.
Linda takes really great care of my 3 cats when I am out of town and able to book her services! She knows each cat as the individual they are and each ones personality and needs. She spends time playing with them and gives my 1 cat on medication his arthritis support without any confusion. I know I can count on her to take care of them like I would, and that is everything when traveling. Would recommend, without reservation!
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!
Another successful stay with Kim. She always does a great job but I tipped her extra this time since she called out that my kitty hadn’t gone to the bathroom in 24 hours. Turns out kitty was being stubborn and anxious but I still appreciated her diligence in letting me know so I could have my emergency contact stop by and do a more thorough check..
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Lenexa is $18 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 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 October 2026, there are 2,800 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
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 .
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 , 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 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.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
