“This was my first experience using Rover, and Emily was the best! She was very communicative, send updates and pictures, and helped ease any fear or anxiety surrounding leaving my little kitties alone. 10000/10 stars for Emily!!”
“Stephanie was so helpful and kind with our two dogs! This was a first time using Rover and Stephanie exceeded all needs and eased our worry. With a senior dog who needs extra care and a younger dog who has much more energy, she was able to accommodate both of our boys to keep them happy and safe!”
“Kris did a great job with Chief. He was great at keeping me updated on visits and obliged to all of my requests. Would definitely recommend. Chief was a happy boy.”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Mackenzie was absolutely wonderful with my cats, Loki & Simba! I could tell right away that she genuinely cared about them and treated them like her own. She was dependable, loving, and kept me updated while I was away, which gave me such peace of mind. I highly recommend Mackenzie to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their pets! 🐾❤️”
“Highly recommend! We got great communication and felt like our dog was very well taken care of, which is all a pet owner wants when they are out of town!”
“Paul & Becky were fantastic! They were communicative, consistent and kind during a long trip away. They sent updates and pictures twice a day of our cat and gave him medication and lots of love. This was a last minute request, and Paul and Becky jumped in, cared for our cat and gave us peace of mind while we were away. Can’t thank them enough!”
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.

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!
About: I have had many animals in my lifetime and much experience with different types of pets. I currently have 2 kitties. One of which is a rambunctious kitten. I have volunteered at the Humane Society for a couple years and worked with both cats and dogs as well as worked at a vet/daycare/boarding/grooming facility for several years as a kennel attendant.

“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.”
About: My family has owned yorkies for as long as I can remember and I have raised two of my own for the last 15 years. I also watch my brother’s lab/pit mix very frequently. She requires daily medicine (pills), extra attention with a bad hip, and constant love and affection. I am a big believer in the importance of walks and stimulation. In the 15 years with my yorkies, Rocco & Boo, they have never been boarded because not only would it be hard and stressful on them but on me too! Dog’s are our family and should always be treated like it ~ at home where they’re most comfy! I will always communicate thoroughly and provide detailed updates. I work from home and have a flexible schedule that can accommodate to your and your pets’ needs! There are no specific days or times that do not work - my schedule is flexible day to day! My dogs are pride and joy - I know that yours are too and I will take care of them as such! I will always communicate thoroughly and provide detailed updates. I like my house clean and well taken care and will ensure yours stays the same!
“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.”
“Second time booking August and it went so well! Our kitties are comfortable and happy to see her. Very timely, great communication, and so sweet. Highly recommend!”
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)
“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.”

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!
We were hesitant to use this type of service, because our 16-year-old cat is old and highly spoiled! But Rover was wonderful. We were lucky and found Emily in Lenexa and she made everything so easy. We always got alerts when she arrived and left and looked forward to the daily picture she would send. We would highly recommend this service and highly recommend Emily in Lenexa.
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.
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Lenexa on Rover is $17.76 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 2,862 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Lenexa. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
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.
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:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
