“Lindsey is fantastic! She is great at communicating and always sends lots of cute pictures of my fur babies. I know they are in good hands with her checking in on them. I highly recommend Lindsey!”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for neighbors, family, and friends since I was about six years old. My experience includes walking, feeding, playing, and keeping pets on their usual routines while their owners are away. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and energy levels, including older dogs that need a slower pace. I also have experience with cats and genuinely enjoy caring for them. I focus on being dependable, attentive, and making sure pets feel comfortable and well cared for. I am unable to come for pets in my own home but am more than comfortable coming to yours. I am very mindful of peoples spaces and always try to keep the home in the same condition I left it. Before caring for your pet, I’d like to know as much as I can about them! Tell me their favorite toys and games, things they dislike (walks on leashes, paws being touched, etc.), silly quirks they may have, medication details and administration, fears or triggers they have and what to do if these arise, and any unconventional behaviors or references you guys may have. I also want to hear what you love about your pet. What are some ways I can care for them while making sure they are still getting the love and comfort they get from you? I am a full-time online grad student. I am working part time in the area and my schedule is very consistent and not flexible. I work Tuesday-Saturday 11:30am-4:30pm. Please make sure this works with your pets schedule before reaching out. I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort in my client’s home. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, and routines. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure, and I always supervise pets during walks and playtime. I keep environments clean, calm, and low-stress, and I’m careful to notice any changes in behavior or health. I treat every home with respect and make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away.
“Sarah & Cyrus J were our first rover experience we have used and they did a phenomenal job. They were extremely flexible and went above and beyond caring for our two large dogs. We had booked two visits per day for 5 days over the thanksgiving holiday. They swept and cleaned up after our boys with whatever dirt and leaves they brought in from outside. We will be using them again in the future! And highly recommend them to anyone looking to book with them!”
“Alexandria was very good with my pups, she made sure to ask questions to learn a little more about my pups situation, and gave a feeling like she treats your dogs like her own!”
“Mandy is amazing. We love having her watch our dog and now cat too. I always know my dog will be comfortable with her and she has a special way of being with animals. Every time we go somewhere we always try to book with Mandy!”
“Elizabeth absolutely spoiled my kitty! I could tell she was well taken care of. I loved all the pictures and daily check in notes. Would highly recommend her to take care of your fur babies!”
“Davina watched our 3 kitties while we were gone for two weeks. She’s very attentive, an excellent communicator and took the time to give the kitties much needed attention while we were away. She’s very conscientious and reliable. Every visit was accompanied by pictures of all three of our cats - even the one who hid from her the entire time! I have no problem recommending her to anyone. We are already making arrangements to have her watch them again in a month. Feel confident to use her without any reservations.”
“Kaysee watched our two English bulldogs during our wedding and was there for three separate drop ins. The boys were well cared for and we will definitely use her again!”
“Beyond blessed that we found Hope! She is always so great with her communication about her visits with our senior cat. She truly cares about him, and it is the best feeling to know she’s taking care of him while we are away.”
“Elizabeth provided excellent care for our two dogs. She was very caring and spent time with them to make the dogs feel loved. She played with them each time and took them on walks. When we need dog care again, I will contact Elizabeth because I know my dogs will be well cared for.”
“Piper was super attentive and spent a lot of time getting to know Finn we really appreciate her! And we will definitely use her again She was also really super communicating with me.”
“Victoria is great with our elder cat Lola! She is always on time and gives Lola all of the love she needs. Communication is great. We are so happy we found someone we can trust.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs for friends and family for years, including up to three at a time! Every workday, I get to play doggy daycare for my sister’s Australian Cattle Doodle. We go on walks, play, and sometimes work on her training, which has taught me the importance of consistency, patience, and making learning fun. I’m just as comfortable with cats! I have one of my own and have cared for everything from adult cats to a mama cat and her entire litter. I genuinely love animals of all kinds and would love the chance to spend time with yours. I know how hard it can be to leave your pet, so I’ll make sure they’re getting plenty of attention, love, and care while you’re away. I’m also the type of pet parent who’s constantly taking pictures and videos of my own baby, so I know you’d probably love updates too! You can expect lots of photos and videos of your happy, spoiled pets so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I work from home Monday through Friday, which gives me a flexible schedule for pet care throughout the day. As long as I can plan around my scheduled meetings, I’m able to accommodate most weekday visits, walks, and drop-ins. I’m also available on weekends, so I can provide care whenever you need it. I enjoy getting out for walks, sticking to your pet’s routine, and making sure they get plenty of attention and love while you’re away. At this time, I provide pet care in my clients’ homes, where pets can stay comfortable in their own familiar environment. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, whether that includes walks, playtime, feeding, medications (if needed), or just plenty of cuddles and companionship. I know every pet is different, so I always do my best to match their routine and make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I also love sending photo and video updates, so you’ll always know how your furry family member is doing!
“I’m very grateful to have found Morgan to care for my doggy crew while I was out of town. She was very understanding to the short notice and took great care of them. She was responsible, caring and made us all feel at ease. The crew enjoyed spending time with her which made my trip so much easier. Thank you Morgan! We hope you will come back for next time!”
About: I've trained service dogs and puppies. I've also cared for multi-animal (species and number) households and I've been doing so my whole life. Whether the dog is big or small, I'd love to help! Pet care is an integral part of my daily or weekly routine. I have ADHD that leans towards forgetting to do stuff for myself. To counter that, I connect my human activities with my pet activities. Like "I fed the dogs and cats" and then the next sentence is "Oh! I will feed myself too!" I have crate trained dogs before and can reinforce that training to ensure that dogs feel safe and secure in their resting area. I like to familiarize myself with their habits. For instance, where does your dog like to go for a walk? How do they exercise? What's their favorite treat and when do they usually get them? Do they like doing a particular activity? This is my client's home and with that it is my client's pet's home. I take that to heart and try to embed these habits into their daily routine so that they can be cared for well and in the way that they know.
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Olathe is $20

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!
Elisha was phenomenal in taking care of my baby. She sent updates, pictures, and action shots. I was never nervous about him the whole week I was gone. She was that great at updating. This is the first time I have let a stranger watch my dog so I was extremely nervous leaving, but her updates put my mind at ease. We did a meet and greet/run through of care before I left. Booster (my dog) interviewed her and gave the signal she would be a good fit to care for him. She followed instructions well and gave exceptional care. I couldn’t recommend her more!!
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!

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .

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.
