“Super sweet to help out super last minute as we got stuck 10 hours away. Our poor babies had pooped inside and she picked it all up so we wouldn’t come back to a total mess. She was also amazing with our GSD who can be shy/timid. We will definitely use her again!!”


“Ron took great care of our dogs over a five day period during a busy holiday season. His drop-in visits occurred in the schedule we had requested, and he managed the daily walks we had asked for in addition to the regular feeding, watering, and backyard visits. With all the real-time notices of his visits, and we were able to relax and enjoy our trip. Great experience!”

“Nicole is so patient with my fur monsters. They like her so much. I love our pre-trip meets she's such a sweetheart. She also sends the best pictures.”

“Kadyn was amazing, she had very detailed reports and lots of photos. I can tell that my pup enjoyed her visits. I will hire her again if I need more pet sitting.”

“Thank you, Shannon! She provided excellent care to my two cats! I would highly recommend Shannon as she was very dependable and caring. She provided regular updates and photos during our trip as well. I have already booked a second reservation with Shannon for a future trip. Shannon will treat your pets with the care they deserve.”

“Lindsay is great with my dogs. She is flexible and always super helpful if my plans change, even going above and beyond when we had an out of town emergency. I don't have to worry when I know she is coming!”

“We had Vanessa watch our two young cats over Thanksgiving week. Vanessa was great with them and with us - attentive to their needs and very responsive to us. Our favorite was the pictures she shared in the after-visit reports, and our cats’ favorite was seeing their new buddy. Vanessa was very respectful, professional, and kind. Would definitely ask Vanessa to come back in the future!”

“My cat loves Rachel! I couldn't be happier with the care my pet received from Rachel. She was attentive, reliable, and made sure my pet felt comfortable and loved while I was away. I highly recommend Rachel to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”

About: We have had pets all of our life. From dogs to cats, bunnies, hamsters, and mice! We love going on walks, playing in the house or snuggling up on the couch. Special diets are no problem. I have taken care of geriatric pets and tummy sensitive pets before. I work 3 days a week. Katie is home all the time and is able to tend to your baby all day so your fur baby won't be lonely! We have a fenced in back yard and a cozy living room with plenty of dog beds to go around. I live right by a park with a walking trail for potty breaks. We do have 4 dogs and 3 cats of our own that are very friendly and love to play.
About: I’ve watched my friend’s and neighbor’s pets ever since I was a kid! I have two cats myself but grew up with dogs and would love to take care of yours. I have experience with puppies, seniors, and administering medication to both dogs and cats. My priority will always be building a positive relationship with your pet so that they feel safe, and especially love winning over shy friends with a little patience! Every pet has different needs and I’m willing to learn what works best for yours ☺️ I am available for drop-ins and walks on weekday evenings, but weekends are flexible. I can drop in on weekends based on what works best for your pet’s routine. My cats are happy with just the two of them at home, so I am not able to board. I’ll come to your pet wherever they are!
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and I have over 8 years of hands-on pet care experience. I’ve been pet sitting since I was 16 and love giving walks, playtime, cuddles, and consistent routines. I care for every dog like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and happy!!! While I’m in classes during the day, my evenings are very flexible and focused on pet care. I prioritize consistent routines, long walks, and quality time, and I’m especially available in the evenings and on weekends for dependable, loving care! I care for pets in their own home, following their regular routines for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest. I focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved, and I’m always happy to send updates and photos!
“Sharon did a great job. My kitties were happy when I returned home. In the past one of them would have behavior issues, not using box, when we were out of town. Having Sharon spend an hour a day with them solved this problem.”


About: I have about five years of experience working in dog daycare and boarding where I cared for dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. Friends, family, and neighbors have also trusted me to care for their cats and dogs while they’re away. I’m comfortable with puppies, senior pets, and shy animals, and I focus on keeping pets safe, comfortable, and on their normal routine. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I work full time during the day but keep a flexible schedule before and after work. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and evening visits during the week, with much more availability on weekends. I also have about four years of experience working in dog daycare and boarding, so caring for dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels is something I’m very comfortable with. My goal is always to make sure your dog gets attention, exercise, and consistency while you’re away. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. I have several years of experience supervising dogs in daycare and boarding environments, which taught me how to read body language, manage different temperaments, and keep pets safe. In a client’s home, I follow all care instructions carefully to keep your pet’s routine consistent. I make sure dogs get proper exercise, attention, fresh water, and a calm environment. I also provide updates and photos so owners know their pet is happy and well cared for.
About: I have dog sat and cared for many other dogs and animals before. I will always make sure the animals are well treated for and the house is taken care of. I am very friendly and strive to make sure every experience is friendly. I have two dogs of my own. I am excited to be able to take care of your dogs and make sure they get what they need while you are away from home. Something that sets me apart from other sitters and walkers is that I am very client forward and will work to meet your needs. I am currently working part time, so I will have plenty of time to play with your pups, I am available for walks and check ins Monday/wednesday/ thursday and house sitting Monday- Sunday! I follow all directions owners leave for me to care for their dog and home.I also help run errands while owners are away, and in warmer months I take care of indoor and outdoor plants

“We booked Erika for drop in visits while we were out of town for 10 days and could not have been more pleased. She stayed in touch by sending messages and pictures and I was able to enjoy our trip more knowing she was there taking care of things. She went above and beyond by getting our very shy dog Sherpa to become her friend. I highly recommend her to anyone wanting peace of mind while they are away.”

“Ella was SO great!! Helped me out with our dog rather last minute, and was very accommodating when we needed to add extra drop ins. She communicated well and was able to do a few quick things for us at the house too. My dog is not the biggest fan of people she doesn’t know so it was a relief to find someone that was so accommodating. Highly recommend! .”

“Thank you Bailee for taking care of Chloe!! This was my first time using rover for a weekend check in and I will definitely request Bailee in the future!!”

“Thanks so much for taking such good care of everybody! All three pets were very comfortable with her, I loved getting photos while I was gone, and I so appreciate the attention to detail.”

Noelle was amazing with Poppy!! She was so gentle and patient with her shy personality which made Poppy gain trust and love so quickly! I can tell she felt so safe with her. Noelle was awesome at communicating with me throughout her time caring for Poppy. She sent picture updates for fun too! I couldn’t recommend her more. I know Poppy will be so excited to see her in the future!

Ella was SO great!! Helped me out with our dog rather last minute, and was very accommodating when we needed to add extra drop ins.

Crissy went above and beyond to take care of my 3 pets. I had a family emergency while I was traveling, so they extended the checkins. When we had a blizzard, they took my dog Sadie to their house and cared for her until the storm cleared. It means a lot to me that they took care of things so I could attend to my family in Pennsylvania. Thank you!

This was our 2nd time booking with Avery, both times for a holiday away! She is amazing with our 2 cats and is so thorough and communicative, which has been such a necessity and relief for the care of our kitty boys who have anxiety and medical needs. Will rebook whenever possible!

Taylor was so awesome. My hubs and I came to KC for a wedding and just needed a sitter for a few hours each day while we attended the wedding activities. Taylor was able to stay with Murphy on short notice. She took him to a park and played ball with him for a hour. We are so grateful to her. It’s hard to stay with an active dog in a hotel and Taylor just made it so easy for us and made our sweet boy a happy dog. 10 outta 10. Highly recommend Taylor for taking care of your fur babies. 🥰
