“Carolyn watched our two dogs over a long weekend and did an outstanding job. She also helped with things around the house like taking out the trash, and getting packages. But most importantly I could tell our dogs were being loved, played with, and cared for. We felt at ease knowing she was with them, and will definitely use her again for future dog sitting needs.”
“Sara did a great job! I was confident in her past experience with dogs and knew Lovey would be well taken care of. Sara was great at communicating before and during my trip. She sent reports everyday with pictures. She even washed the sheets from the bed she stayed in and they were dry when I got home. It was a positive experience from start to finish and I will reach out to her for future dog sitting needs.”

“We had a fantastic experience with Isabel! Our dogs have medication requirements, and she took excellent care of them while we were away. She sent frequent updates and pictures throughout the week, which we really appreciated. Isabel was professional, kind, and incredibly dependable. We felt completely at ease knowing our dogs were in her care. We will definitely be using her again in the future!”

About: I've had 3 golden retrievers while I was growing up and helped taking care of them everyday. Our one golden had puppies and I helped out a lot with them. Now, me and my husband love to watch and care for other dogs in our free time! I work a 9-5 during the week but I am not usually very busy on weekends and would love to meet and take care of some new pups! My husband can usually take breaks from his work during the day to do a drop in or walk if needed! I love to go on walks with dogs and make sure they are well exercised everyday. I will make sure to keep your pet on the correct feeding/potty schedule.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Olathe
Jenny stayed with our dogs while we were out of town and did an awesome job of taking care of them. This was our first time having someone come to the house to watch the pups while we were out of town and she made us feel very comfortable. She was great at updating us with messages and photos. One of our dogs can be very difficult getting to know new people and she was very understanding and handled her well. She was also able to give their meds and supplements, and keep them on their same daily schedule. We will be using her again for other vacations.
Brittany was wonderful, she went above and beyond to take care of my dogs. She got to know them, even Daisy liked her and slept with her. Brittany gave them their medicine, took them outside. I would say she is a 10 out of 10. If you need someone to watch your dogs, she should be your go to person
Autumn was fantastic. We have never entrusted a "stranger" with not only our pets but our entire home and worldly goods. Autumn proved to be dependable, trustworthy and very caring about our property and our furry family members. If you need someone you can trust to watch your s pets and/ot your home, choose her!! We will do it again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Olathe is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $73 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 1,562 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Olathe. 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 Olathe 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 Olathe 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 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!
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
