About: I have 5 years of dog-care experience, including three years of regularly walking two dachshunds for the same family three times a week. That long-term relationship taught me how important consistency, reliability, and understanding each dog's individual routine are. I’m a detail-oriented sitter and like to learn how your dog normally eats, walks, plays, rests, and communicates before care begins. I follow owners’ instructions closely and provide thoughtful updates so you know how your pet is doing while you're away. I’m comfortable adapting my approach to different personalities and energy levels—from senior dogs and cautious or shy dogs who need patience and space, to energetic dogs who benefit from walks, play, and enrichment. I pay attention to changes in appetite, bathroom habits, energy, and behavior rather than simply completing a checklist. I also have many years of experience riding and handling horses, which has strengthened my ability to stay calm, observant, and aware of animal body language. My goal is simple: keep your pet’s routine as familiar and comfortable as possible while giving you peace of mind that they are in dependable hands. 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.
“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.”
“Victoria was absolutely wonderful! She was reliable and made me feel at ease while I was away. She kept me updated with lots of adorable pictures, which I really appreciated. She also took cleaned up any accidents. I highly recommend her and would definitely book with her again!”
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
“Stephanie was amazing! She was just what we needed for our buddy! Our fur-baby was in the best hands! 🐱Our baby highly recommends Stephanie to give scratches and pets to any of his friends!”
“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.”

“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!”

We’re comfortable with walks, playtime, feeding routines, and providing the care and attention dogs need to feel comfortable and well cared for. We both work full time and have different wfh days during the week, along with flexibility! I work 10 minutes from our home, so going home during lunch is very easy!

Crate-trained dogs are preferred, and we’re happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and care instructions. Pets are welcome on our furniture and treated like part of the family. Our dog, Gus, is a friendly companion and loves having a playmate! We’ll do whatever we can to keep your pet comfortable, happy, and feeling right at home while you’re away.
“Phoebe watched our 1 year old Shihpoo who is very energetic and did a great job! She was very communicative before and during the visit - I will definitely use again when I need a sitter!”
“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!”
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Lenexa is $20

I would recommend Yanli to anyone who is looking for a dog sitter or dog walker. I have so much peace of mind knowing she is caring for our 4 month-old puppy during the week. Puppies sometimes go through odd phases or behavior regressions and Yanli is super understanding about this! She is flexible and adjusts to our changing schedule or Frankie’s changing needs without complaint. She provides very thorough updates and goes above and beyond to care for our puppy. As a first time dog parent and user of Rover, I had some apprehension, but would recommend Yanli a million times over!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Lenexa is $18 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $28 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 2,801 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 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.
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 Meet & Greet.
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.
