About: I have 25 years experience taking care of dogs. From in home care to animal shelters & with all type, temperament, and size of dog! I own my own company and am a contractor for a auto company. I am kind of a Jack of all trades type of person. I will follow all instructions and requests to provide the absolute best care for your furry four legged family members! I look forward to meeting your pup!!
“Arrica is amazing! Hands down one of the best walkers we’ve had. She’s professional, flexible, highly responsive, thorough and patient! She does great with my dog Mello, who warmed up to her quickly. He loves seeing her come through the door and we could not ask for better!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my experience with dogs. I worked at a wonderful dog shelter called KC Paws that taught me about dog handling, body language, and temperament. I was a shift lead so I have experience administering medications - liquid and pills. I am also a foster for T.A.R.A, another wonderful shelter, so I have TONS of experience with puppies as young as 5 weeks old. While I have not worked in a professional setting with cats, I have 3 of my own and I have fostered two sweet cats. I’m finishing up school with one class left so at the moment, Rover is my full time job! I’m available unless otherwise stated on my schedule for whatever care your pet needs - day and night. Feel free to send me a message about scheduling questions to see if we can work something out! :) I only offer dog sitting in your home because I’ve got too many animals at my house and your dog or cat’s safety is my biggest priority. I am diligent when it comes to following instructions (with medications, food allergies, special needs) as well as with making sure your home is all locked up when I leave.
“Lori came highly recommended to me by a friend and another rover user , and we are very happy to have found her ! She takes great care in what she does and I am confident finn is in good hands when with her. Looking forward to utilizing her for more walks very soon !”
“Caitlin is so loving towards Alessia which makes me very happy. She is excellent at communicating about scheduling and gives updates on her arrival and sends pictures of their walks. Couldn’t not recommend higher!”
“This was a repeat booking with Taylor and my dog Bizzy loved every moment of it! She was very responsive and made sure to send me pictures and videos after every walk. Taylor fed and played with my dog and I could tell he had a blast. We look forward to booking again!”
“Professional, accommodating, and reliable. Ashley did a wonderful job looking after my senior dog whilst I was out of town. I wouldn't hesitate to utilize her services again in the future!”
“Patricia did a wonderful job walking our pup! She was very communicative and I loved the updates she gave us! She went above and beyond. I highly recommend!”
“They are so awesome and helped me out on super short notice for a dog walk. I also invited them to bring their dog over to play with my dog in the backyard and my dog was SO happy! Really appreciate how great and responsive they are.”
About: I am a third year veterinary student in KC for the summer at an internship! I have worked as a Veterinary Assistant for 6 years now and have gained experience in handling and working with all breeds and sizes of dogs, as well as cats. I have also been petsitting for family friends for 5 years and have plenty of experience making pets feels comfortable while their owner is away. I am comfortable handling any dog or cat, with anything from giving medications to your senior pup to walks and exercise for the more energetic ones! I’m currently working full-time during the week with some evening hours available. I am also typically available all day during the weekend and on most holidays. As I am currently renting, I am not able to care for pets in my own home. However, I am more than willing to travel and take care of your fur-baby in the comfort of their own home! I have been trained on how to handle all types of animals with care and respect towards them, and would feel comfortable assisting with any training you are working with them on. Most of all, I absolutely love to hang out with any animal and would be honored to care for your fur baby!
About: I have care experience with dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, and fish. I have taught my birds to talk and whistle, mice to jump through hoops, and I have trained my dog in basic tricks. I genuinely care for and loveeeee animals and will give your pet(s) my undivided attention when caring for them!!! I am a full time college student so I won’t be available 24/7, but I will make sure to set aside time for your pet! I don’t offer services in my own home at this moment, but when caring for pets in my clients home I make sure to respect and clean up my surroundings and their animals space.
About: I have lots of experience with house sitting and dog care. I would love to help you with other duties, including taking in mail, watering plants, keeping the place clean and tidy, etc. I have been the go-to-girl to dog sit and dog walk for all my friends, family, and neighbors since high school. I absolutely love to get to hangout with dogs and get my steps in! It would be a privilege to care for your precious pups! I am a doctor of physical therapy student at the KU Med Center. I have a 10 year old pug of my own named Beatrix, she is precious! I am never away from Bea for more than 5 hours at a time…but it usually is not that long. I am a homebody! And I dont mind at all to structure my schedule around caring for her, play and potty breaks, and three 30min walks/day. During the 2 days/week that I am in class from 8-5, I run home during lunch to take her out. I would do the same with your dogs as well! I have a flexible schedule that can allow me to work around your pups usual routine. I am able to take your dog out in your backyard or on a walk for potty breaks as often as needed. If I am house sitting for you, I would need to bring my 10 year old pug Beatrix to stay as well. She is easygoing and gets along great with other dogs. When I need dog care, I use Rover too! So Bea has spent a lot of time with new dogs in new homes. As a dog owner and Rover user myself, I understand how important it is to feel confident that your dog is safe, well cared for, and happy while in the care of someone new.
About: Hey there! I've been volunteering at animal shelters since I was 10 years old and have therefore trained and taken care of every kind of dog and cat you can think of. I stopped volunteering because I would get so attached to all the animals I raised and then they would get adopted - great for them, hard for my heart. I have a deep love for animals & for exercise but a limited amount of house 😂 so I thought helping others take care of their animals would scratch my itch. And I'm trying to find ways to pay down the debt quickly younger me created when I was "finding myself"🙄 so this seemed like a fun way to do it. Choose me if you want someone who will ~Love your pet as hard as you ~Provide a little training while they're with me. Even on small things like how to walk better on a leash. ~Give you updates like pics and videos so you can see what they're up to and be at ease. ~Upon request make them some homemade treats which my 2 doggos love dearly. I am currently a full time stay at home mom and small business owner so my schedule is very flexible. I need a short notice I just fit into whatever your routine is and add in extra belly rubs and toys to make it a chill experience for your pets.
About: I’m a lifelong dog lover excited to offer reliable, caring dog walking and pet sitting. Whether your pup needs a playful walk, a quick drop in midday, or some cuddles while you’re away, I’ll treat them like they’re my own! 💛 I have experience with dogs of all sizes, energy levels, and personalities. I no longer have a dog of my own, but I know your pet will help fill my heart with all the joy I need! I would love to help keep your pet happy, healthy, and loved while you’re out. I work three 12 hour days at the hospital - so I always have a long weekend! My days off are Saturday, Sunday, Monday & Tuesday. I am also open to doing an evening walk after I get off work on Wednesday or Thursday! I understand how important it is to feel confident your pet is in good hands — I do live in an apartment, but would be only watching them on my days off where I am home all day! If you would like to set up a meet & greet — I’d love to meet your pet! 💛
About: I grew up with dogs my whole life. Had my first puppy when I was 3 years old and have had one ever since. I have taken a small amount of courses on training puppies as well. Great with training them on the leash! I grew up with dogs my whole life. I work from home a lot so I can be available most days if needed. I travel a lot so I understand you want to leave your pup with someone you trust. That’s why I signed up! I live in a two bedroom apartment with no roommates. It’s in a great neighborhood with a lot of parks and dog parks. I have one dog, Mabel. She is just under 2yrs old and LOVES to play with other dogs. Let me know any special needs or energy levels of your pup!
About: I’ve taken care of my own cats and dogs since I was 10 years old and have done pet sitting for friends and neighbors over the years. I’ve worked with animals of all ages and have personally owned several different senior cats so I have experience with seniors! I work from home part time and my schedule is very flexible so I have plenty of time to care for your animals whether that be feeding, walking, playing, or house sitting. I will do my best to make sure your pet has everything it needs, as well as plenty of love and affection. I also will maintain whatever current schedules/protocols you have in place for your pet’s safety and well being.
About: I grew up with dogs and miss playing and taking care of them. While this is a side gig for me, I love getting active alongside dogs and will love them as my own. I'm off on Saturdays and can help out when you just want a date night! For house sitting I stay pretty busy with work, but they are average 8hr days where I can make sure your dogs are walked before work and plenty of playtime can come after work! For my own cats I make sure to read their body language before I pet them and ensure they have safe spaces where they can avoid us and each other if they want. I deep clean their litter boxes monthly and clean their litter ever day or every other day. I'm great at reading animals and whether they're stressed, excited, or just curious!
“Tori has been so helpful this summer! She’s been coming 3 times a week to walk Clash during the day! She’s always on time and easy to get a hold of! I can’t recommend her enough!!”

“Paul is so good with Rousseau! He always takes great care of him and you can tell just how much Rou loves him by his excitement as soon as he sees Paul or even hears his name. As Rou has gotten older Paul has adjusted his time from longer walks to slow down and take more breaks so he can keep up. We appreciate his attention to those important details for our fur baby! It’s so comforting to know he is in good hands!”

Eloise has always been a reluctant walker, but as soon as she met Kennedy she enthusiastically anticipates her walks! In fact, when she hears Kennedy come to the door, she fetches her own leash! Kennedy is so friendly and 100% reliable. Kennedy is the BEST!”

“Charmaine has two well trained dogs and works well with them. She’s good with them even if they get a little to rambunctious at times she always gets them to stop and listen. Well versed in dog breads and loves dogs. Give her a shout on Rover and she’ll walk your dog all over!”
Megan H.
“We’ve had an amazing experience with Megan! She is reliable, punctual, and truly cares about our dog, Rowdy. From the very beginning, she took the time to learn Rowdy's personality, preferences, and all his special needs. Every walk is not just exercise—it’s the highlight of his day. She sends updates and photos after each visit, which gives us peace of mind knowing our dog is happy and in great hands. Rowdy is always excited to see her and comes home relaxed and content. If you’re looking for someone dependable, trustworthy, and genuinely passionate about dogs, Megan is the one. We couldn’t be more grateful for the love and care she has shown our furry family member!”

Kari K.
“Kari and I met during graduate school and became fast friends, in part due to her obvious love for animals. During school we regularly spoke about and interacted with each other’s pets. Her pets were well cared for and loved. She was also capable of handling my small dog (12 lbs) and my large dog (60 lbs) during walks. On occasion she did watch my cat while I was away. I would recommend Kari for pet sitting. She is not only an animal lover, but also responsible.”
