“Jennifer did a great job taking care of my dog for a last minute work trip. I loved the photos she sent each day! Blaze was instantly relaxed around Jennifer at the meet and greet (she can be a bit nervous around new people at first), so I knew it would go well while she was house sitting.”
“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!”
“Kelsey was wonderful. She followed our instructions to the letter - our dog is on medications, on a strict schedule, so this is very important. She was extremely conscientious in sending pics, watering our plants, and otherwise caring for both our pet and our house. Kelsey is also very pleasant and easygoing...Best of all, our dog loves her! We highly recommend her, and intend to engage her services again.”
“Angela was amazing! She took great care of our dog, three cats and chickens. We are always nervous to leave our little family behind when we travel, but Angela was very responsive and we knew they were safe and in good hands. We'll be going to Angela for help whenever we can. We cannot recommend her enough!”
“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!”
“So grateful to have found Erin! She was so wonderful with my two dogs over the holidays! She sent me several updates throughout the day & left my home spotless. She has such a warm spirit & loved on my boys so well while I was traveling. I can’t recommend her enough!”
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.
“Evelyn was such a relief, and I mean that deep in my soul. She came into our lives at a moment when I was stressed, pressed, and worn thin by a variety of external issues. Pippa, my 7-month-old kitten, had not only never stayed with anyone (or anywhere else), he'd also never spent significant time with anyone but me. But Evie was patient, kind, and accommodating for both of us -- and eased my mind incredibly because I was fully confident in the safe and conscientious care that Pippa would have while I was away. Evie sent wonderful photos, videos, and reports of Pippa's health and happiness every day -- even allowing for a significant time/internet access difference on my end. And, Pippa loved Evie (to an almost (but not quite) envy-inducing level). I returned to a healthy, happy, and well-played-with cat; a neat and well-cared-for house; and a calm mind. I could ask for nothing more.”
“Evan stayed in our home for over two weeks with our four animals (two cats, two dogs), and we couldn’t be more grateful! He sent us lots of updates with cute photos and videos, and our animals clearly loved him. He even extended his stay when our plans changed, and our home was clean and organized when we returned. We will absolutely be reaching out to Evan again in the future. Thank you for everything!”
“Maryn did a great job watching our kitties. She stuck to our routine with their feeding schedules and left our home exactly as we left it. She even went above and beyond with leaving food and water out for the neighborhood cats who were not included in the booking but who my husband and I look after. We will definitely be booking with Maryn again!”
“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!”
“This is the third time we’ve had Pamela stay with our pups. I can’t say enough good things about her. Our fur babies are always cared for as if they belong to her, and she leaves our house in excellent condition!”
“We cannot say enough wonderful things about Laurie! She stayed in our home for 10 nights while we were away, taking care of our beloved Millie, and we could not have asked for better care, Every single day, Laurie sent us a detailed email with pictures and updates about Millie's day. It was so clear from her messages and photos that Millie wasn't simply being looked after-she was truly being loved and cared for. Seeing how happy and comfortable Millie was gave us such incredible peace of mind. Knowing that our girl was in such loving, capable hands allowed us to completely relax and enjoy our trip without worrying about her. Laurie was wonderful in every way, and we would not hesitate to have her care for Millie again. We highly recommend Laurie to anyone looking for someone they can trust completely with their beloved pet and their home.”

Jennifer goes above and beyond, helps with watering the plants as well as making our little lady feel loved and safe while we are away. It’s hard being away from our dog while we are traveling but we know Ilsa is having a great time without us because she’s with Jennifer.
Evan stayed in our home for over two weeks with our four animals (two cats, two dogs), and we couldn’t be more grateful! He sent us lots of updates with cute photos and videos, and our animals clearly loved him. He even extended his stay when our plans changed, and our home was clean and organized when we returned. We will absolutely be reaching out to Evan again in the future. Thank you for everything!
Mya was fantastic! She house sat for us for 9 days. She sent lots of photos, kept to the pets’ routines, and texted to ask questions about pet care and the house when we weren’t clear in our instructions. She left the house clean and the pets happy! We’d ask her back anytime!
Regan was awesome. We were so relieved to have him on the job, and able to relax about both our pets and our home and posessions. He is perfect, and we will try to use him again, if he’s still doing this (he has a pretty glowing future ahead of him in the medical field), by the time we need a sitter 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!
I was so lucky to find Brenna!! She completed an in home sit for my two dogs and left them happy and the house spotless. She was a great communicator throughout, sending photos and regular updates. Nothing was better than coming home to fresh sheets, and she even left me a delicious homemade casserole for my first day back, which was such a lifesaver so I didn’t have to prioritize grocery shopping and food prep. Thank you so much, Brenna!!
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!
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!

FAQs for House Sitting - North Kansas City
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in North Kansas City on Rover is $37.45 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 1,557 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across North Kansas City. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred North Kansas City walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in North Kansas City maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
