About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have experience caring for pets for family, friends, and neighbors. As a college student and athlete, I’m dependable, responsible, and active, so your pets will get plenty of attention, exercise, and care. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, or keeping them company, I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe and loved while you’re away. I’m a full-time college student with a mix of online and in-person classes, which gives me flexibility throughout the week. I also play collegiate soccer, but I plan my schedule carefully and update my availability regularly. I’m available for pet sitting, drop-in visits, and walks during my free time, as well as many evenings and weekends. I’ll always communicate clearly to make sure your pet gets the care and attention they deserve. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I will follow your pet’s routine, feeding schedule, medication instructions, and any special requests to help them feel comfortable. I’ll provide plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and updates with photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always keep their well-being first.
“I cannot speak highly enough of Jennifer! She house sat for my 5 mo old puppy and two senior cats, and my garden for six days, coordinating with veterinarian to deliver medical care to my sick cat and spending most of her time with my animals. She worked on training my pup and got him back into a good routine! She is super communicative and gives you the kinds of updates you want to hear about and sends lots of photos. She follows directions to a tee, so I never had to worry! She kept the house clean. I will definitely be asking for her again! 6 stars”
“We were so happy to have Erika come stay with our dog! She was professional, easy to work with, and clearly loves taking care of dogs. She sent frequent photos and updates, and was quick to respond to our texts. And her flexible schedule meant our dog didn’t need to be left for any long stretches. We look forward to having Erika come back again!”
“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!”
“Jennifer is great: she's good with dogs (and my puppy loves her), on time, flexible, quick to respond and on top of that - pleasant! I don't know what more you could be looking for in a dog sitter. We will absolutely be using her again in the (very near) future. I would recommend her for all your puppy/dog needs.”
“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!”
“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!”
“I think she did a wonderful job watching our animals! She sent us a couple pictures and checked in just about every day. She stayed and hung out with our golden retriever and the house looked untouched when we came back! Definitely recommend!”
“Lauren is amazing! She communicated regularly and sent pictures to us throughout our vacation. Our dog was well cared for and happy when we got home. We will absolutely book with Lauren again and recommend her to our friends!”
“Laurie was great! We needed a last minute sitter and Laurie jumped in to help out. She took great care of our pups and house. You could tell in the pics that they were relaxed and having fun. We have 3 dogs, which can be a lot. One is highly anxious but warmed up to Laurie the first day. She have very thoughtful and excellent questions about the dogs and housebefore we left and as needed during her stay. I couldn't have been happier and more comfortable. We will definitely be asking Laurie to sit for us again!”
“This was my first time with Kayla and right off the bat, I could tell she was super sweet and cares deeply for animals. She’s very responsible and reliable; took great care of Remi will I was out of town.”
About: I have raised dogs and cats through out my life, I currently have a rescue Shih Tzu named Gizmo who is nine years old and is great with other dogs. I currently work at a dog training kennel and I’ve worked in an animal shelter previously so I have experience with all breeds and temperaments as well as years of professional dog walking and pet sitting. I’m getting ready to go to school full time for dog grooming and would love to take care of your pets to help make money for school! I will give your fur babies the love, care and attention they deserve. I also have experience administering medications including pills and insulin shots. I work short days outside my home starting early in the morning, but my partner works from home so your dog wouldn’t be left alone if you board with me! I’m available for in home visits or walks as well. We have a rescue Shih Tzu who is 9 years old and loves the company of other dogs, she’s not big on playing but she’s all about the snuggles and naps. I cater my care to each individual dog and am happy to discuss your pets needs. If you board with me your dog will get frequent walks and as much exercise as you request, we live in an apartment so I would be taking them out on a leash to walk around the neighborhood; we also have a fenced area specifically for letting dogs run around and play if that’s what you prefer. I am happy to crate them if you’d like or let them sleep in one of my dogs many beds, she sleeps in bed with us so she won’t mind! If I’m coming to your house I can follow any instructions you have for walking/ feeding/ administering medication I’ve done many walks and home visits for pet owners over the years, and my experience in animal shelters and dog training facilities had given me a lot of knowledge about dog behavior and needs.
“Thanks goodness for finding Grant! I had a family emergency and I needed to leave the country in a day. I am new in town and I didn't know anyone. I got on rover and I started sending requests. Grant responded promptly and he was ready to be interviewed by Shadow, my service dog. It was love at first sight. Shadow is a really great dog but one has to be really careful about his diet and about his medication schedule. Grant did great! He is a young man who loves dogs and will go out of his way to accommodate the clients needs. He babysat my dog at my place and he answered my calls consistently. Grant has my highest recommendation. Don't think twice about leaving you pup in his living hands.”
“Julia stayed at our house with our dog while we were out of town! She was great, would recommend & would have her house sit for us again! She sent photos, communicated promptly & left our home just the way she found it. We appreciate you Julia!”
“This was my first rover experience and Monica was so communicative with photos of Charlie during the weekend which was awesome! Had such a great experience and I know Charlie did too!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - North Kansas City
Alyssa did a great job checking on Sully while I was away! She sent me pictures and updates, was super flexible when I accidentally gave her the wrong address, and was always easy to get ahold of. I really appreciated how dependable and communicative she was. Sully was well taken care of, and I would definitely have Alyssa watch him again!
We could not have asked for a better first experience using Rover than with Mya! From start to finish, she made leaving our boy so stress-free. She took the absolute best care of him, treating him like her own and sending the cutest picture updates that completely brightened our days while we were away. Beyond being fantastic with him, Mya took wonderful care of our home, leaving everything so tidy and well kept. It was such a relief to come back to the happiest pup and total peace of mind. We are so grateful to have found Mya and will definitely be booking with her again—we couldn't recommend her more highly!
Lauren was a fantastic sitter! Communication was great whether it was asking questions or letting me know how my critters were doing. I could tell Rags (Brussels) and Clyde (Jardine) were well taken care of the week I was gone. Would highly recommend Lauren for pet care and will be using her again in the future.
Kaitlyn did an amazing job caring for our two dogs while we were away for the week. She was attentive, reliable, and made sure our pups were happy and well cared for. She also kept our home clean and tidy throughout her stay, which we truly appreciated. We came home to happy dogs and a well-kept house! We would absolutely recommend Kaitlyn and will definitely reach out to her again for future trips!
My highly anxious and fearful dog has some pretty rough "quirks" - It's hard to find a sitter who fits well with her personality. Rafaela was flexible when needed, had a very calm energy, and showed up to both the meet & greet AND the housesitting job clearly having reviewed all of the info on my dog's profile (she immediately asked - totally unprompted - whether my dog had already taken her medication for the day. Details like this made me 100% confident that she would follow all guidance exactly as planned). I felt very confident leaving my dog with her and would happily rebook!
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!
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!!

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 $42.5 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 1,527 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.
