“Piper was great! She was very attentive to our pets while we were away, communicated well and sent pictures throughout her stay with them. She picked up the house before leaving - we certainly trust her to watch our pets and home again!”
“Hey so im horrible at writing this stuff and usually I don't but I really feel like I need to here. I tend to over worry about everything especially my dog and I've always been hesitant on dog sitters I don't personally know. She listened to all my concerns and to be honest I was not worried at all while I was gone. She gave great updates mentioned any issues and im pretty sure my dog already misses her. 100 percent if you are trying out this app for the first time use her especially if you overthink things.”
“We had the absolute pleasure of having Allison sit for our dogs again. I didn’t think it could get any better, but it did. She is the best there is. Book her - if you can! She is hard to get because her people love her and keep her. We couldn’t be happier with everything across the board! We feel so blessed and lucky to have found her!!!”
“Ashley was fantastic! She took such great care of our dogs - they loved her and followed her around everywhere! Ashley sent us photos each day to keep us updated on how they were doing, played with them, took them on walks and made sure they were loved. On top of that, she left the house spotless. We couldn’t recommend Ashley more.”
“We’ve had Jennifer stay in our home twice for several days to care for our cat and senior dachshund. She is wonderful! She gave our dog her daily meds and was very attentive to her specific needs. Highly recommend!”
“Jessica stayed with our pups over the weekend. She sent updates and reached out if she had any questions. We returned home and I couldn't even tell she had been here because the house was just as we left it. We are already booked for Christmas.”
“Roxanne is the quintessential professional who shows great care and love to the pets in her care. My little French can be a handful but she really took to Miss Roxanne and I couldn’t be more pleased with the care she received. Thank you, Roxanne.”
“Allison was amazing with our brand new puppy when we had to go out of town shortly after bringing him home. She helped me to figure out what would best suit him and his needs and without her we wouldn’t have been able to adopt Beau. She cared for him like one of her own fur babies and sent me many pictures and videos to show how well he was doing. I’ll definitely be using Allison many times in the future.”
“Victoria was wonderful. She was very attentive to Coco and his needs. She left my house very clean. I couldn't of asked for more from a house/dog sitter ? I hope she'll be available the next time I need someone!”
“Alex is awesome! 2nd time using his service for house sitting and he’s taken great care of our dogs and house. He was always quick to respond and helped us out over both thanksgiving and new years. Thanks Alex!”
“Tyrese was great. He took care of our dogs and house for an entire week. Kept us up to date every day on our dogs. And when we got home our house was clean, and dogs seemed well taken cared for, we appreciate you Tyrese and will use you again.”
About: I've been a pet sitter over 10 years and I love what I do. I feel very lucky to surround myself with beautiful fur babies. I work part time from home and make my own schedule. I'm extremely flexible with my hours. I'm here to make it easy for you. Lots of walks and playtime. Every animal is different, so I accomadate accordingly to the animal and what they like and want to do. I find them much happier that way.
“Jessica came and often came with her husband, Juan to watch our fur babies. They were amazing. They sent regular updates and pictures even washed some bedding that one of the dogs had threw up on. I would recommend Jessica to watch your fur babies five stars.”
“Matti was amazing! She played and snuggled with the doggies while we were gone. The house was well taken care of and clean upon our return. She is such a sweetheart and had great communication! Highly recommend!”
“Reese was great! She was attentive to all the instructions we left and she made sure our dog felt loved and spoiled while we were away. She was very communicative and professional”
“Emily was extremely patient with our anxious and cautious dog. She kept me updated on how he was doing throughout our time away and made sure we knew he was in good hands. Would highly reccomend!”
“Samantha was the ideal pet sitter for our 2 dogs! Great communication from start and finish and kept us in the loop about the dogs while we were gone. Would highly recommend for anyone needing reliable pet support”

Samantha was wonderful! I thankfully I have easy pets but the day before we left my dog needed to go on meds, she was comfortable doing that and stayed on top them, I loved proof of her walking the dogs (Australian shepherds) and she left the house just the way we found it. The only way to fully enjoy a vacation is knowing your pets are well cared for!
Janette has seriously been the best for us. She is super flexible, which we really appreciate, and our dogs LOVE her. You can just tell they’re comfortable with her and that means everything to us. She’s also really good with communication, we always know what’s going on and never have to worry about how there doing! At this point she’s the first person we call anytime we need someone for our two dogs. We wouldn’t leave them with just anybody, but we fully trust her.
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!

FAQs for House Sitting - Olathe
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Olathe on Rover is $42.8 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 1,684 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 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.
