Top rated Longfellow house sitters

“Taryn is wonderful. We will definitely hire her again. She’s very pleasant and great with our pets. They warmed to her immediately. She’s a problem solver (we had a minor plumbing issue which she solved on her own but contacted us). She stays in touch just enough so we know all is well but not so much that we can’t enjoy our time away. She went above and beyond. Excellent pet and house sitter!”


“I was very nervous leaving my dogs with someone other than family while I was away but LuLu did a great job. She kept me updated constantly throughout the day. My place seemed cleaner than when I left too! 10/10 recommend for your furry critters!”


“Erin was wonderful. She went above and beyond in every way, kept us informed, and took great care of the house. Our puppy was 6 months at the time of the vacation, and Erin did great with all of them. I am sure they will all be so happy to see her again!”


“Gabriella was fantastic! This was our first time with Rover and we had heard good things, but this helped us feel so much more comfortable. We will definitely use Gabriella again!”


“Ava did such a great job! My pets were very well taken care of and given lots of snuggles! My pup liked her so much she tried to keep her there by stealing her shoe! (No shoes were harmed in the making of the visit!) Highly recommend Ava!!”



“Michelle did great with my puppy (and her older brother)! I highly recommend her for any dog sitting needs! She was on time and sent a lot of pics snuggling with the dogs. They loved her! I plan to book Michelle again and again to take care of my pups. :)”


“Ell was great! She kept me updated with photos, & I could tell my dogs were very well taken care of. She also took good care of my home & left it clean & organized! She also did me the favor of watering my outdoor plants. I will definitely be hiring Ell again!”



“Robyn was a wonderful sitter for our animals. She gave great updates throughout our vacation and she treated our pets like her own. They looked like they so much fun with Robyn and were definitely spoiled all week. Thank you Robyn!”


“Ellie did an amazing job looking after our pup and house while we were away. She sent pictures or videos each day of things Willy was doing and places they were walking. When we arrived back home, everything was clean and tidy in our house. Looking forward to having Ellie here again!”


“Kadyn did an incredible job not only watching my dog, but updating me frequently and setting my mind at ease for the first trip I've ever had to hire a sitter for. Exceptional service!”


“Emma did me a great service and booked an overnight stay with my pup very last minute when my original sitter backed out. Emma took my pup on a drive and took great care of her. She also sent updates and pictures throughout the night while I was at work, which was greatly appreciated! Would book again!”


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!

“Ann was great. We had an initial meeting at my home where I showed her where everything was and explained everything. She took great care of my cat and dog. I will definitely be using her again. I’m so grateful to have met such a thoughtful and and caring person!”


About: I am new to the app so I don’t have many reviews yet. But rest assured, 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.

“Ellis was great! She took care of my babies like they were her own, even when Groot wouldn’t let her sleep. She updated me along the way and communicated with me throughout the day. This was my first time ever having someone spend the night with the dogs and she did amazing. Would book with her again !”


“Shyanne stayed in our home with our dogs while we were out of town. She was incredible to work with. She gave us plenty of updates, communicated clearly, took great care of our babies and went above and beyond! We felt peace of mind our entire trip knowing Shyanne was there with our dogs. We came home to a very happy crew. We will definitely book with her again in the future!”

Kennedy is so friendly and 100% reliable. Kennedy is the BEST!”
