“Austin was great with our cats! Our cats usually don't like new people but they both took to Austin very quickly. He sent plenty of updates and pictures throughout the week and even cleaned up their hairballs/vomit when it occurred. Would recommend booking with Austin if you need someone great and trustworthy to watch your pets.”
About: I’ve had dogs for 10 years and regularly help friends and family with their fur babies. I am the first call when friends need their pet cared for. Mostly just love dogs and want them to be my best friend. I currently work part time and from home several days a week. Drop ins are easy and house stays can be planned easily and quickly! I want to make sure your pet never feels like they are left unloved or unsafe. I want to keep their comfort and routine so no one is worried!

About: Caring for pets is something I truly enjoy and take seriously. I have experience taking care of my own dog and understand the importance of routine, love, and attention. I provide daily walks, regular potty breaks, and make sure each pet feels safe and cared for. I treat every pet as if they were my own—paying attention to their needs, personality, and comfort. My goal is to create a calm, loving environment so both pets and their owners feel at ease. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule and can plan my day around each pet’s needs, including morning and evening visits, feeding, walks, and check-ins. I’m consistent and reliable, and I make sure pets receive timely care and attention every day. I’m also available for updates and communication with owners as needed. I prioritize safety, consistency, and a calm environment in every home I care for. In a client’s home, I follow their pet’s routine closely—feeding schedules, walks or litter care, and any specific instructions—to help pets feel comfortable and secure in their familiar space. I keep the environment clean, safe, and stress-free, and I’m mindful of doors, gates, and potential hazards at all times. I also respect each pet’s personality, giving them space or interaction based on their comfort level. I provide regular updates with messages and photos so owners feel confident and at ease while they’re away.
“Jocelyn has been wonderful! She communicates well and provides great feedback and pictures. Murphy loves her and gets lots of playtime with her. Grateful we found such a reliable fur-friend!”
“Taylor is wonderful caring for my 3 kitties! She truly cares and shows them lots of love when I'm away. I used Taylor 5 or 6 times now and will continue to do so. Thank you Taylor!”
About: I've been around dogs my whole life and caring for them has always been my second nature to me. My parents currently board dogs at our house, so I’ve gotten to know all kinds of dogs with all kinds of personalities. Whether it’s walks, belly rubs, mealtime, or just making them feel comfy and loved, I’m all about making sure every dog feels right at home. I'm currently home for the summer and don't have any other jobs. So, I am available pretty much every day throughout the week, and anytime. Just depending on if I have any trips or events planned. When I care for pets in their home, I always try to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I know how comforting it is for pets to be in their own space, so I make sure to follow their usual schedule for meals, walks, and playtime. I’ll give them plenty of attention, snuggles and keep their environment clean and cozy. Whether it’s sticking to special instructions, administering medication, or just making sure they get their favorite treat after a walk, I treat every pet like my own and every home with respect.
About: Ever since I was born I’ve had all different kinds of pets! I’ve had dogs my whole life but I’ve also had rodents, fish, snakes, and cats. Around the age of 8 my older sister and I started pet sitting for neighbors and friends and I’ve continued doing it since! I don’t have the most experience with puppies but I’ve cared for dogs from ages 2 and up, including those sweet senior pups! I am working full time at the moment, however, pet sitting & walking is what I prefer to do during the time that I’m off! I am completely free on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and then on Sundays and Mondays I am free up until 2pm and after 10pm. Wednesdays and Fridays I would be able to help out in the afternoons around 3pm. Saturday’s I work 10am-7pm so I would need to work around those times! Currently, I have one 11 year old shepherd mix named Bailey and one sassy cat named Dolly that I’ve had for 8 years. They are my best friends! They get fed twice a day and Bailey goes on walks daily. I live in an apartment and don’t have a backyard that Bailey can run around in, so I make sure she gets plenty of outdoor and play time because I know how important that is for pups! My cat, Dolly, on the other hand is a very independent gal but I still make sure she gets plenty of playtime too! She is also a diva about her litter box so I make sure that it is clean at all times for her. Most importantly they both get all the love and cuddles that every pet should receive. I assure you that your pet will receive the same exact care and love that I give to my pets.
About: I have had a dog ever since I was born. I grew up with dogs and pets all around me and I love taking care of the! I am currently a grad school student who has class Monday through Friday. I have a lot of time on weekends and in the late afternoon/evenings! I provide personalized, attentive care based on each pet’s unique needs, whether I am taking them for a walk or just hanging out with them at home!
“Emily is so good with my dogs. One dog wouldn’t come out of the kennel for a couple others but loves Emily :) She helps me out when I’m at work for a long time and it brings so much peace of mind.”
“Kaitlyn has been checking in on my dogs for a little over a year, and I couldn’t be happier with her service! Great communication, dogs love her, and always on time. Definitely book with her if you’re wanting a reliable and trustworthy person with your pups!”
“Thank you so much Kara! Kara was very generous with her time, walking our Labrador retriever at every visit, playing and refilling her food and water. We are confident that she was well taken care of.”

Alley was amazing! She offered to do a meet and greet prior and went through my pups whole routine with me! She has great availability and was able to be flexible with times as well. Lots of photos were taken and she is someone I fully trust with my fur baby. Would definitely recommend!
Super helpful with our puppy Pepper on a busy day where we needed to coordinate multiple things. Tylar communicated very clearly and I felt very secure with her letting Pepper out and playing with her. We had some lovely photos of her playing in the yard and Tylar asked great questions. Definitely recommend!
Ellie truly treated my pups as her own! We booked her for two drop ins. She took them for a walk and kept them active! Most importantly, we had a weird request as my pup is currently in heat and needed more care than usual… Ellie took care of everything and more. I so appreciate her dedication to taking such good care of my babies ❤️
Kim was fantastic! We were in need of a drop-in visit for our anxious boy Roscoe. To Kim’s credit, she has never met our dog, and with the thunderstorms that popped up, Roscoe was I’m sure very anxious. Kim was able to provide him comfort during her visit. We couldn’t have asked for a better outcome. Thank you Kim.
"I cannot recommend Ashli enough! They recently did a drop-in visit for my dog, Stormy, and the experience was fantastic. Ashli was punctual, followed all care instructions perfectly, and sent the most adorable photo updates that really put my mind at ease. It’s clear they have a genuine love for animals. I returned home to a very happy, relaxed pup. I will definitely be booking again!"
Ali was absolutely wonderful watching our dog for a few days. It gave us such peace of mind knowing she was being so well cared for while we were away. Ali was attentive, reliable, and kept us updated with great communication throughout the entire stay. We could tell our dog was happy and comfortable with her. We would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable pet sitter!
Olivia was great! Came over a few days before to meet the dogs and myself, which made me feel more comfortable! Both of my dogs loved her. She let both dogs out, played with them and sent me a bunch of photos afterwards! Highly recommend and will be using again!
Our first experience with Rover was a breeze thanks to Lindsey. We loved getting pictures and a recap of how our dog, Lily, was doing while we were away. Lily is a busy girl and Lindsey provided lots of activities for her at each check in. Highly recommend Lindsey!

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 Olathe 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!

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 .
