“Jennifer was so good with my dogs! I felt very comfortable with her staying with them. We already have her scheduled for our next trip. 🙂 I would definitely recommend her!!!”
“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 is by far the BEST dog sitter we have EVER had!!! She went above and beyond every single day with both our boys with walks, play time, feedings, potty, etc. We know this because she was so communicative and sent pictures/videos anytime she was with them. This was huge because it gave us that comfort while out of town that they were in the best hands (honestly maybe even better!!). We ended up having some travel issues that caused us to be gone for another day and even though I know she’s busy, Kelsey took care of our boys without missing a beat! She’s the best to work with, super consistent and our dogs absolutely love her. We wish there were more stars to give because 5 doesn’t even seem like 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!”
“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.”
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.
“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!”
“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!”
“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!”
“Pamela was great! She was responsive via text and left the house in perfect shape. We felt reassured knowing our pups were in good hands while we were away for a whole week!”
About: I grew up on a family farm in Iowa, raising beef cattle, chickens, dogs, cats, horses and the occasional raccoon! I have experience from bottlefeeding newborn baby animals up to senior pets. My schedule varies weekly. I am a professional photographer that works on site and from home. My “home work” location is flexible as long as I have Wi-Fi! I can be fairly flexible with times as well as staying with your pet. For pets in my home, I live in an apartment with my boyfriend and there’s a river trail nearby for longer walks along with a pet area at my complex. I have previously stayed at and checked daily friends, family, and clients homes while they’re out of town/at work to care for their pets as well as farm animals. I have a wide array of experience working with different animals from regular in-home pets to many farm animals with feeding, walking, and giving medication if needed.
“Maryn did an amazing job taking care of my 2 dogs. When we returned the dogs were happy and the house was clean and neat. She is very responsive when you contact her. Great job!”
“Evelyn did a great job with Stella, who recently went through tail surgery and had some extra needs. She sent photos, cared for Stella well, and left the house in great condition after her stay.”
About: I care for a mini golden doodle for one year since a puppy now I care for a calico cat that’s one years old thanks. I work for KCFD and have some much extra time and would love to take care of your animals I work two days on two days off every other weekend I love playing around the house with the dogs and love going on runs and walks being outside when the weather is nice is everything
“Erika is amazing! Her care for my pup was so appreciated. She gave him so much attention and love that he didn’t even miss me during my multi-day trip away. This is our second time working with Erika and we will be seeing her again in the future. A+ service!”
“Virginia is super thoughtful. She always treats Ollie like one of her own. This trip, she knew we were flying in late so she made sure our sheets were washed so they were ready when we returned. Always appreciate her!”
“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!!”
“I really enjoyed meeting Regan. He is super reliable and took great care for our dogs. He stayed overnight and during the day. He anticipated a storm and brought in all our outdoor cushions and returned them outside after the storm! Above and beyond!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in North Kansas City is $45
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - North Kansas City
Phenomenal experience. So thankful! This was my first experience having someone take care of my home that I didn't know. My first experience having my dog taken care of and my first experience having someone stay in my home home was in the same shape if not better than I left it. My flowers were even taken care of. Truly went the extra mile. My dog was so happy. I got pictures everyday letting me know what things look like how Aurora was doing. Aurora truly seemed happy and content even after I came home. I will definitely use Mya again in the future. I could not have been more comfortable.
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!
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!
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!
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 $42.39 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 1,621 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.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
