“Marissa took great care of our pup while we were out of town! She was timely and sent lots of updates and pictures! Would definitely recommend her services to anyone looking.”


“My cat had a wonderful time from Erin's visits while I was on a trip. Erin made sure all of his needs were met each day, and treated him to great play and birdwatching sessions!”


“This was our first time using Rover and Dalton really helped us feel comfortable with the process. He was really great with our dog and gave him the attention and exercise he needed.”


“This was my first time to use Rover and I had such a great experience with Marinda! She watched my cat while I was away for a few days and she kept me updated with photos and videos on each visit. I recently changed my cats food and he has been iffy with it, but Marinda gave me peace of mind letting me know how he was eating with each drop-in visit. She kept the litter box clean, vacuumed up messy litter, and even washed a few dishes! I could tell my cat Buzz loved playing with her based on the videos she sent. She was always quick to respond and thorough in her updates. I will definitely use her services again and I highly recommend her for your pet!”



“Ron did an amazing job with my dog and two cats! He was extremely communicative and always sent photos. He was also very patient while I tried to sort out a door lock issue from a thousand miles away!”


“Couldn’t have asked for a better first time experience with Sara! She made me feel so comfortable leaving my pup in her very experienced hands! You can tell just how much love she has for animals and their well being. 10/10 recommend!”


“Abby took incredible care of our dog, Tulip! She was very responsive and provided detailed updates every time she dropped in to visit our dog. Abby went above and beyond to make sure our dog received lots of love and play time while we were out of town! I would highly recommend Abby!”


“Ella dropped in on my two cats for a week while I was out of town. She sent lots of photos and updates at the same time each day, just like we had discussed during our meet & greet. One of my cats is hesitant with strangers, but Ella was able to bond with him and get him to come out of his hiding spot. She was even kind enough to put a scoop of kibble outside each day for a stray cat who has been hanging around my house. It’s pretty obvious that Ella is an animal lover, and I’ll be happy to hire her again in the future.”

About: Hi, we are Scott and Jenn. We are experienced dog people, but we don't have a dog right now, so we are available to give your pup(s) our undivided attention. Dogs have been a central part of both our lives from growing up with dog "siblings" to fostering and adopting dogs of various breeds, ages and temperaments. Big and small, from high-energy young pups to sweet old seniors. After our Doberman passed in 2022, we made the difficult decision not to get another dog right away. Since Scott retired, we spend about six months a year traveling in our RV to visit family across the country. It has been a truly wonderful experience; however, life without dogs isn't right! Rover offers the perfect opportunity for us to enjoy spending time with dogs, while providing you peace of mind and your pets all the love and attention they deserve! My work is flexible and often portable, so I can be available just about any time. If I get your request before I go to bed, I can be at your home by 10am the next day. We treat dogs like family. A friend once told us “If reincarnation is real, I want to come back as one of your dogs”. We spend lots of time doing enrichment activities with the dog we sit for. We also really enjoy walking, so we would absolutely love to take your dog for long walks!

“Laura is so good with our doggies! They love what she visits!”


“Ava was flexible, punctual, and thorough. She was polite and helpful! Would request her help again.”


“Riley is reliable and great with our girls! We have a big lab and a little puppy and keeps them both entertained and active while we’re out.”


“First time using rover, Michaela was great and I felt like my kitties enjoyed their time while she visited them! Michaela really listened to what I usually do for the cats and learned their personalities. Plus she was very patient with me and when the schedule needed to change after booking, she ensured I got the proper refund without me even asking. 10/10 recommend”


About: In a professional capacity, I’ve been off and on Rover for a few years, and I love it! My clients have loved the customer service level I bring to each interaction. From my communication style and pictures to my ability to be flexible in scheduling. In my personal life, I’ve taken care of dogs, fish, cats, turtles/tortoises, rats and guinea pigs. I’ve administered medication to pets in the past and I’ve done enrichment training as well. Schedule varies. I work in the Plaza and Partner Joel works from home and is available to care for pets all day. We live in downtown Kansas City MO. With my dog walks, I’ll typically take a 20 minute walk with 10 minutes allowed for enrichment/playtime. With any drop-ins, I’m happy to refill food/water and/or take care of any plants babies that you may have as I have a pretty good green thumb.

About: Hello! We’re Denise and Jeff. Lifelong dog lovers, we’ve shared our home with three wonderful dachshunds over the years, raising them from playful puppies to their golden years. After saying goodbye to our third pup due to old age, we found ourselves as pet “empty-nesters” — and that’s when we decided to become Rover sitters. We know firsthand how tough it can be to find a trustworthy pet sitter — someone who truly understands how important it is to feel confident and at ease while you’re away Let your dog stay in a calm, cozy and loving home located in Brookside. We offer personalized care with plenty of playtime, snuggles and attention. Let your dog stay in a place that feels like home We are retired; therefore, am home all the time. I am early riser, love to take walks and miss having a dog to tag along on those walks We have a fenced yard. We spend a lot of time on the back patio. We will love your fur baby like they are our own. I had 3 dachshunds 2 of which had special needs. I am adaptable to your pet's needs.

Ronnie R.
“I have known Ronnie for over eight years and he has always shown great love and compassion towards all animals including dogs. Out of all pets that a person could have, I would say that Ronnie's favorite would have to be dogs. We use to be roommates and he watched other peoples dogs on numerous occasions and was very great at it. I could tell that he really enjoyed being around dogs. We also owned a cat together and he was such a great caregiver to our cat. Ronnie is a very responsible and caring man, he takes great pride in his work and has an enormous love for dogs. If there was one job that I know Ronnie would be excellent at, it would be a caregiver for dogs.”


Denise D.Star Sitter
“Denise is one of my favorite people. She is always so kind and incredibly thoughtful. Visiting her home, everyone always feels warmly welcomed, both people and pets, so I am sure your dog will be treated like a very special guest.”
