“Jennifer was fantastic! Bill had a blast with her and she kept the house in great shape. Would highly recommend having Jennifer watch your pets / house!”

“Pamela was the best! Our toy poodle takes a while to warm up to someone new, and she snuggled up to Pamela pretty quick! Pamela was very punctual (early actually!), she followed all the feeding rules (one of our dogs has renal dysplasia), took them out for potty, and she sent us adorable photo updates. Would totally recommend her, and 100% will work with her again when we’re in KC!”

“Emma stayed with my cat Patrick for a week while I was in another state for work. Patrick needs some special attention and takes daily medication. She did a great job making sure he was taking care of and comfortable! Additionally, she communicated with me well and made sure to send me some pictures every day!”

“Julia took excellent care of our girl. We made a last minute request for Julia to extend her stay and she was kind enough to accommodate. I would definitely recommend Julia for your pet sitting needs.”

“I’ve had trouble finding someone on Rover who is reliable and gives excellent service. After trying many others, we have finally found an amazing rover sitter!!! She is far and away the best I’ve found since using Rover since 2019. I hope we can use her services for a long time to come!”


“She was great with our pets! Made sure they were well taken care of while we were gone. Also took care of the house as well. Communicated with us when she was going to be back at certain times of the day. Sent us pictures of our pets while we were gone.”

“Jenna was great. Super communicative, very attentive during the meet and greet, and sent regular updates for both my pets. I would definitely have her house sit again!”


“I’m so thankful for Erika! I was nervous about leaving our 14 year old cocker spaniel Sophie for a week long trip. Erika was conscientious, communicative, flexible, professional, kind, trustworthy, mature, and responsible! She really loves animals. I can’t recommend her highly enough. When we returned home, Sophie was peaceful and content, calm and happy. Thank you, Erika, for making our vacation enjoyable by taking such good care of Sophie and our home.”

“This was our first time using a service like this and we chose someone close in our neighborhood. Evan took excellent care of our dogs Jacko and Jace. He gave us periodic updates on how his week is going and send photos boys smile of the boys smiling. We would definitely recommend him to housesit and care for your pets while you’re on vacation or away and we will definitely use them in the future.”

“Excellent sitter for my 8 year old and 2 1 year old Rottweiler puppies. Mya is a loving and compassionate person. She followed my special instructions to the tee and was especially great with my youngest puppy with epilepsy as one of the 7 dogs in her own household also has epilepsy. I couldn't have asked for a better person than Mya for my last minute booking while I had surgery. Will definitely use her repeatedly! Highly recommend.”

“Erin was absolutely amazing! She came and met our dogs before our trip and took notes. We got multiple updates and photos every day we were gone which was very reassuring. She was very professional and took great care of our dogs! Highly recommend!”

“Maryn was so kind to our dogs, you can tell she really is an animal person. She sent us pictures one of the days we were gone and it was great to see the dogs were so happy. Our house was very clean when we came home, and the mail was even brought in! Will definitely be booking again.”

“Lulu is the absolute best with our fur babies. She's very caring and goes out of her way to ensure our kitties are well adjusted while we are gone. She's a great communicator and I highly recommend her to care for your pets while you are away.”

About: Hello! I am a pet lover with years of experience in caring for pets young and old. I am based in downtown KC but have reliable transportation. If I am out of your range, message me anyway and we might be able to work something out :) In my life I have owned 1 dog of each size (small, medium, and large of course), two parakeets, a guinea pig, several goldfish, and a leopard gecko. I currently live downtown with my two kitties, Josie and Jade. I have several years of both catsitting and dogsitting experience with close friends and family members, and it has always been the most fun side job so I thought I'd give Rover a shot. I also have housesitting and plant care experience. I am a full time actor, so regularly I work from home and will spend certain full days on set, not usually consecutively & with minimum 1 week’s notice. Additionally, in June I have evening rehearsals on weeknights and weekend rehearsals 11a-5p here in town. I am communicative with clients & I like to send photos at client request. In situations of senior care or medication, I will always opt to message with a question rather than make an unsafe assumption. Additionally, I am a very clean person and prioritize leaving things how I found them.
“Jonathan always takes such great care of our two senior dogs. He checks in daily and always includes a photo. He also takes great care of the house and always leaves it better than he found it.”
“Evelyn is the best. She took such amazing care of our 2 guys. I felt so at ease being away. I knew they were behind loved and snuggled the whole time. I added a bath and she did a full spa treatment/deshedding. My guys have never smelled or looked our felt so great. We will be repeat clients. Thank you so very much! Sue and Jeff”

“Claudia was amazing!! Her communication was excellent and I felt confident that my dog was in the best hands. She took such great care of him in spite of what I’m sure was a very busy weekend. I would highly recommend her! Thank you Claudia!!”
“Abby is outstanding and so easy to work with!! She completely made us feel comfortable leaving our 2 dogs and 2 cats with her for over a week and stayed in our home the entire time, which allowed the animals to remain in the comfort of their home. We received lots of updates/pics while we were gone also... which we all enjoyed seeing. We most definitely would book with Abby again!!”

“Adrianna did a great job sitting for our boys. She sent pictures and I could see how happy they were. Great communication.. The house was perfectly clean when we arrived home and the boys were obviously glad to see us but not as crazy as when we have left them other places.”

“Karrie was fantastic! She stayed in our home, which helped our dogs feel comfortable and relaxed right away. She kept them on their usual routine, so we never had to worry while we were away. She was also a wonderful house guest and even washed dishes and bedding before she left. We couldn't have asked for better care and will definitely be booking with her again!”

The best sitter we've ever had! He took the time to ask about any special needs, was communicative, and sent plenty of photos and videos so we didn't miss out on any fun moments when we were away. 10/5 stars for Diamonds. We will definitely be using him again!

Jennifer was wonderful! She was so great at communicating and being responsive! She sent pictures everyday and it was clear my dog and 2 cats were really comfortable and well cared for! When I got home the house was clean and she had followed all the instructions we had left her!! We’ll be hiring her again for sure!

This was the first time my guy was left without either of his parents. Evan was accommodating, communicative and kind. It gave me peace of mind leaving Murphy with someone else while I was away. Evan provided periodic updates and photos. Would definitely book him again!

Mattie really seems to love our fur babies when taking care of them in our absence. We regularly received text photos and updates letting us know how they were all doing. In one picture, one of our cats was laying on Mattie's legs while our dogs were snuggled up the each side of her. Our condo lobby attendant said Mattie was super nice and great with our pets.

Kara is awesome! She stayed with my cat while I was overseas for nearly three weeks and, for the first time ever, I returned to a content boy who acted almost like I hadn’t even been gone (usually it takes about a week for him to express his disapproval and get over my absence/return). My cat is very particular on who he likes, but from the first night he was wrapped around her neck and snuggled in as if she were me! I received plenty of photo updates and he received tons of love and snuggles and consistent meals schedules as if I were home. Kara is just the best!

Illa was professional and very responsible in taking care of my Maltese. She’s spoiled to death but that’s the way I like her to be and Illa was very respectful of that and contacted me about one issue which I definitely appreciated. It all worked out great and I definitely would recommend her for doing a wonderful job!
Kortney is an incredible dogsitter. I always know she'll get our guy out on a walk, take care of the house, and keep us looped in as needed. I feel very good knowing she's taking care of our dog while we are away and completely trust her. Would highly recommend her services. She's the best!

Jayden is a wonderful sitter. For the first time ever, our small dog squeezed through our back gate and took off. We were thousands of miles away and Jayden kept her calm and assured us she would find her. Within 30 minutes our dog was found. Jayden also had to deal with some difficult issues with our special needs dog, and for that we are deeply appreciative.
