About: I have 25 years experience taking care of dogs. From in home care to animal shelters & with all type, temperament, and size of dog! I own my own company and am a contractor for a auto company. I am kind of a Jack of all trades type of person. I will follow all instructions and requests to provide the absolute best care for your furry four legged family members! I look forward to meeting your pup!!
“Arrica is amazing! Hands down one of the best walkers we’ve had. She’s professional, flexible, highly responsive, thorough and patient! She does great with my dog Mello, who warmed up to her quickly. He loves seeing her come through the door and we could not ask for better!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my experience with dogs. I worked at a wonderful dog shelter called KC Paws that taught me about dog handling, body language, and temperament. I was a shift lead so I have experience administering medications - liquid and pills. I am also a foster for T.A.R.A, another wonderful shelter, so I have TONS of experience with puppies as young as 5 weeks old. While I have not worked in a professional setting with cats, I have 3 of my own and I have fostered two sweet cats. I’m finishing up school with one class left so at the moment, Rover is my full time job! I’m available unless otherwise stated on my schedule for whatever care your pet needs - day and night. Feel free to send me a message about scheduling questions to see if we can work something out! :) I only offer dog sitting in your home because I’ve got too many animals at my house and your dog or cat’s safety is my biggest priority. I am diligent when it comes to following instructions (with medications, food allergies, special needs) as well as with making sure your home is all locked up when I leave.
“This was a repeat booking with Taylor and my dog Bizzy loved every moment of it! She was very responsive and made sure to send me pictures and videos after every walk. Taylor fed and played with my dog and I could tell he had a blast. We look forward to booking again!”
“Professional, accommodating, and reliable. Ashley did a wonderful job looking after my senior dog whilst I was out of town. I wouldn't hesitate to utilize her services again in the future!”
“Patricia did a wonderful job walking our pup! She was very communicative and I loved the updates she gave us! She went above and beyond. I highly recommend!”
About: I have care experience with dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, and fish. I have taught my birds to talk and whistle, mice to jump through hoops, and I have trained my dog in basic tricks. I genuinely care for and loveeeee animals and will give your pet(s) my undivided attention when caring for them!!! I am a full time college student so I won’t be available 24/7, but I will make sure to set aside time for your pet! I don’t offer services in my own home at this moment, but when caring for pets in my clients home I make sure to respect and clean up my surroundings and their animals space.
About: I am a third year veterinary student in KC for the summer at an internship! I have worked as a Veterinary Assistant for 6 years now and have gained experience in handling and working with all breeds and sizes of dogs, as well as cats. I have also been petsitting for family friends for 5 years and have plenty of experience making pets feels comfortable while their owner is away. I am comfortable handling any dog or cat, with anything from giving medications to your senior pup to walks and exercise for the more energetic ones! I’m currently working full-time during the week with some evening hours available. I am also typically available all day during the weekend and on most holidays. As I am currently renting, I am not able to care for pets in my own home. However, I am more than willing to travel and take care of your fur-baby in the comfort of their own home! I have been trained on how to handle all types of animals with care and respect towards them, and would feel comfortable assisting with any training you are working with them on. Most of all, I absolutely love to hang out with any animal and would be honored to care for your fur baby!
About: I've been relied upon by neighbors for years to dog-sit, dog-walk, and pet-sit for cats as well. I'm a big lover of all animals and grew up with dogs, cats, and even chickens! I started caring for these animals at an early age, handling tasks such as feeding, scooping litter, picking up dog droppings, and cleaning the chicken coop. We have an old cat with kidney and heart problems ourselves who needs to be pilled and have a cream applied to his ear twice a day. I understand how our pets are, quite literally, additional family members to the household, and I recognize the importance of ensuring they are loved and cared for, just like all of us!!! I’m a huge fan of walking and this fits into my daily and weekly routine. I also love the social aspect of meeting new people and pets are ALWAYS the best way to meet new people! I can easily drive to your home to walk your dog in the your neighborhood. I’m gentle, friendly and love a big scratch on an animals bottom(if they are welcome to it of course!)
About: I have lots of experience with house sitting and dog care. I would love to help you with other duties, including taking in mail, watering plants, keeping the place clean and tidy, etc. I have been the go-to-girl to dog sit and dog walk for all my friends, family, and neighbors since high school. I absolutely love to get to hangout with dogs and get my steps in! It would be a privilege to care for your precious pups! I am a doctor of physical therapy student at the KU Med Center. I have a 10 year old pug of my own named Beatrix, she is precious! I am never away from Bea for more than 5 hours at a time…but it usually is not that long. I am a homebody! And I dont mind at all to structure my schedule around caring for her, play and potty breaks, and three 30min walks/day. During the 2 days/week that I am in class from 8-5, I run home during lunch to take her out. I would do the same with your dogs as well! I have a flexible schedule that can allow me to work around your pups usual routine. I am able to take your dog out in your backyard or on a walk for potty breaks as often as needed. If I am house sitting for you, I would need to bring my 10 year old pug Beatrix to stay as well. She is easygoing and gets along great with other dogs. When I need dog care, I use Rover too! So Bea has spent a lot of time with new dogs in new homes. As a dog owner and Rover user myself, I understand how important it is to feel confident that your dog is safe, well cared for, and happy while in the care of someone new.
About: Hey there! I've been volunteering at animal shelters since I was 10 years old and have therefore trained and taken care of every kind of dog and cat you can think of. I stopped volunteering because I would get so attached to all the animals I raised and then they would get adopted - great for them, hard for my heart. I have a deep love for animals & for exercise but a limited amount of house 😂 so I thought helping others take care of their animals would scratch my itch. And I'm trying to find ways to pay down the debt quickly younger me created when I was "finding myself"🙄 so this seemed like a fun way to do it. Choose me if you want someone who will ~Love your pet as hard as you ~Provide a little training while they're with me. Even on small things like how to walk better on a leash. ~Give you updates like pics and videos so you can see what they're up to and be at ease. ~Upon request make them some homemade treats which my 2 doggos love dearly. I am currently a full time stay at home mom and small business owner so my schedule is very flexible. I need a short notice I just fit into whatever your routine is and add in extra belly rubs and toys to make it a chill experience for your pets.
About: I’m a lifelong dog lover excited to offer reliable, caring dog walking and pet sitting. Whether your pup needs a playful walk, a quick drop in midday, or some cuddles while you’re away, I’ll treat them like they’re my own! 💛 I have experience with dogs of all sizes, energy levels, and personalities. I no longer have a dog of my own, but I know your pet will help fill my heart with all the joy I need! I would love to help keep your pet happy, healthy, and loved while you’re out. I work three 12 hour days at the hospital - so I always have a long weekend! My days off are Saturday, Sunday, Monday & Tuesday. I am also open to doing an evening walk after I get off work on Wednesday or Thursday! I understand how important it is to feel confident your pet is in good hands — I do live in an apartment, but would be only watching them on my days off where I am home all day! If you would like to set up a meet & greet — I’d love to meet your pet! 💛
About: I take caring for anyones best friend very seriously and have a lot of experience around different breeds. I think that each dog has individual traits that make them so special when you get to know them. I have a dog and cat at home and frequently take are of other pets because I enjoy it. I currently own my own floral studio so my hours are flexible. I am also a KC native so navigating neighborhoods and such aren’t usually a problem. For dog walking, I believe establishing trust and getting to know your dog’s personality is super important. Knowing how they react in certain situations will better allow me to care for your pet.
About: I grew up with dogs my whole life. Had my first puppy when I was 3 years old and have had one ever since. I have taken a small amount of courses on training puppies as well. Great with training them on the leash! I grew up with dogs my whole life. I work from home a lot so I can be available most days if needed. I travel a lot so I understand you want to leave your pup with someone you trust. That’s why I signed up! I live in a two bedroom apartment with no roommates. It’s in a great neighborhood with a lot of parks and dog parks. I have one dog, Mabel. She is just under 2yrs old and LOVES to play with other dogs. Let me know any special needs or energy levels of your pup!
“Stacey was very punctual and we really appreciate that since our dogs expect to get their meals on time. He was very sweet and careful with both girls and they trusted him He learned feeding and walking procedures so we can rebook him in the future”
About: I have been passionate about animals my entire life, starting with pet sitting at the age of 10. Over the years, I’ve cared for a wide variety of animals, including horses, cows, dogs, and cats. This hands-on experience has given me a deep understanding of animal needs and behavior. Additionally, I graduated with a degree in Animal Science from Kansas State University in May of 2023, further enhancing my knowledge and expertise in animal care. Whether it's a small pet or a larger animal, I bring both professional training and a lifelong love of animals to every pet sitting opportunity. I currently work full-time in a hybrid setting, with my office days Tuesday through Thursday. This allows me to be home and available to care for your pets from Friday to Monday, where I work remotely from my laptop. With plenty of free time over the weekend, I’m able to give your furry friends all the attention, playtime, and love they deserve! I have a spacious, fenced-in backyard where your pets can enjoy plenty of outdoor fun and playtime in a secure environment. I also have two friendly dogs of my own, who are great at keeping other pets company and making them feel right at home. Additionally, I understand that some pets prefer to stay in their own environment, so I’m flexible and more than happy to provide pet sitting services at your home if that’s what’s best for your furry companions.

“Paul is so good with Rousseau! He always takes great care of him and you can tell just how much Rou loves him by his excitement as soon as he sees Paul or even hears his name. As Rou has gotten older Paul has adjusted his time from longer walks to slow down and take more breaks so he can keep up. We appreciate his attention to those important details for our fur baby! It’s so comforting to know he is in good hands!”

Sean L.
“Sean is a FANTASTIC pet sitter. He took amazing care of our dog for 5 weeks. I was a little nervous at first, because our dog is so protective around me and at times anxious when I'm gone. Sean was completely undaunted by my dog's initial barking at their first meeting. By the end of day one, we got fotos of Sean and our dog hanging out together. Then came the videos of our dog going absolutely nuts with happiness upon Sean's return from an outing. Our dog LOVES Sean. Whenever Sean comes to visit, our dog swoons with excitement and is happier to see him than anyone in the world (other than my son or me.) Could pick a greater guy for the job.”
Kennedy D.
“Oh my goodness, do my dog and I love Kennedy! I have a pug named Eloise who has been in desperate need of more exercise. Eloise has always been a reluctant walker, but as soon as she met Kennedy she enthusiastically anticipates her walks! In fact, when she hears Kennedy come to the door, she fetches her own leash! Kennedy is so friendly and 100% reliable. Kennedy is the BEST!”

Megan H.
“Megan is seriously the best! She walks my Great Dane and terrier every week, and they absolutely love her. They don’t usually get along with everyone, but they warmed up to her so fast. She’s always on time, super reliable, and you can tell she really loves my dogs like they’re her own. They get so excited when she shows up. It gives me peace of mind knowing they’re in such good hands. And she always brings the best treats!”

She has a genuine love for all animals, and is very level headed and good at keeping the peace. I’ve spent a lot of time with her, watching her dote over her own pets and friends pets alike - she has a great talent at reading behavior and keeping dogs entertained, safe, and happy. Even my very picky/elusive cat, Frank, loves her.”
Linwood Homeowner-Ivanhoe dog parents share their Rover experiences
Megan was great with Charlie! She obviously loves dogs and was so sweet with him. Took a photo of him on the walk and I was able to see their route. My dog was happy to go with her on the walk and was sad to see her go. I highly recommend Megan and will reach out to her any time I am not able to walk my dog.
Quinlin did a great job with my dogs! Just got a new puppy a few weeks ago. Normally work from home but had a last minute thing come up where I had to be at the office all day and he was super flexible about the last minute request. Did a great job communicating and sent photos of them playing outside. Would definitely recommend!
