About: I grew up with 2 cats, 2 dogs, and 2 birds; Big animal lover! I have experience being around previously abused dogs, particularly anxious cats, and blood-thirsty parrots. I’m a firm believer of taking everything at the animal’s pace. I work from home with flexible scheduling, so I can be available any weekday between 7-10am, noon-1, and 5pm onward. I just need a day’s notice for timing. I live in a small apartment with my two cats, so I will not be offering boarding. However, I’m happy to walk, check-in, or house sit your pets in their safe space!

I do mot have a lot or Rover experice, but the dogs that i have met through here have made a lasting impression on me and I cannot wait to meet more! I currently have a home with three small dogs that get along great with others. Myvprefrace would be going on walks with dogs after work .

“Maddie was excellent! She was patient when I had last minute issues, and was very accommodating. She treated my kitties like they were her own! I came home to very content and well-cared for kitties. 10/10 recommend and would hire again!”
About: Hi, I am Mailyn! I am a 25 year old girl, living her best life. I am a mom to 2 boys cats, Cheeto and Milo! However, my experience is not limited to cats only. I grew up with dogs, birds, fish, rabbits, and more! I am many useful skills when it comes to taking care of a pet and always know what to do because I am no stranger to medical emergencies/concerns, safety protocols, and unexpected moments of stress. I would love and be honored to care your pets! I am available evenings and weekends! This is expected to change soon! I am between transitions with my job right no. I will change my schedule once I have a concrete plan. I do not offer onboarding. However, at a guest home I take care of their pets with guidance from the pet parent and the pet’s need. I make sure safety is a top priority and that there is communication with the pet’s parents. We all consider our pets as family, every pet parent deserves the reassurance and peace of mind that their loved pet is safe.
“Jennifer was FANTASTIC! Her care was top notch and I felt so secure leaving my kiddos with her. I genuinely think that one of my cats, Toast was disappointed to see us, and not Jennifer. She gave great updates and photos at every visit and we appreciated her so much! I will absolutely contact Jennifer again for care of our kitties.”
“Ariana was wonderful with Holly! She was sweet, communicative, and kept me updated throughout the drop-ins. I felt comfortable knowing Holly was in good hands and would book with Ariana again.”
“Mya was great! She took on a last minute booking and it couldn't have gone more smoothly. Jax and Ruby seemed to like her and Peach actually came out of hiding when Mya was there! I would 10/10 recommend Mya for any pet needs!!!”
“Joey made leaving town without my fur babies worry free! Both of my dogs are in their senior years and he took excellent care of them and met them at their activity level! His love and passion for dogs is obvious and I will definitely be booking with him in the future!!!”
“Evey has been terrific with my little rescue Marco. He is frightened of many things but continues to open up with each visit she makes. I do not worry when I am at work because I know he is enjoying her daily visits.”
“Taylor did a fantastic job with my kitties! They both came out for her. She spent lots of quality time with them. My home looked and smelled clean when we got home from vacation, which never happens. She refilled my auto feeder when it got low and kept on top of the wet food and water refills. She even ran the vacuum and swept up litter kicked out of the box by my crazy young one. 10/10 recommend!”
“I was very nervous to leave my boys for the first time while also being first time I've had to book a sitter. Claudia made sure to send me pictures with every visit while updating me on any shenanigans my boys caused. She eased my anxiety and allowed me to enjoy my vacation. Will definitely request Claudia again!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - North Kansas City
Brendan was such an incredible drop in dog sitter! Our pup was nervous around him at first but he was very attentive and won her over which isn’t an easy task! His communication was amazing! When our girl was having trouble trusting him to take her outside, he tried every single option and didn’t stop trying until he was successful! We got lots and lots of sweet photos and could tell she was very well cared for!
Regan did a wonderful job with the drop in visits. My dog really liked him and my shyest cat came out to see him, which I consider a good sign. Regan also made sure the feral cats had food and water as requested. Sent me photos & quick updates. I would love to hire Regan again when I go out of town.
Jennifer is an absolute sweetheart and Louie loves having her as a sitter. He even goes to his kennel all by himself while I'm getting ready for work. She checks in regularly and gives me photo updates. The most important thing is that she gives him the care and attention I'm not able to give him while I'm at work. I book with her every week because I'm so happy with the way she takes care of my baby boy.
Rafaela was amazing with my cat and dog! They were both so comfortable and happy when I got home, and she kept me updated with photos and messages while I was away and even made me aware of a beeping noise that was coming from the laundry unit. You can tell Rafaela really cares about animals — my pets were in great hands and I would gladly book Rafaela again!

Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in North Kansas City choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
