About: ✨ About Me Hi! I’m Shauna — a full-time pet lover and trusted caregiver in the Lenexa, KS and surrounding areas. 🐶💖 Also Lawrence KS area. I’ve cared for animals my whole life, from playful puppies to senior sweethearts who need a little extra love and attention. I treat every fur baby like my own — with safety, comfort, and tons of affection. When your pet is with me, they’re family. ❤️ I do work a full time job but I can always get away to for your pets needs. We can always work out a schedule. My dogs are more then my dogs I see them as my kids so I make sure they are well taken care of even when I go out of town. Spoiled
“Our pets loved having Katy watch after them while we were out of town. We have two senior cats who both need medication/insulin twice daily, and as Katy has two senior cats and two senior dogs of her own, she is very skilled at administering medications if your pet has that need. Our cat Birdy suddenly took ill while we were out of town, and Katy was very prompt with letting us know what was happening and took Birdy to the vet when she needed professional intervention. We are grateful to Katy for her kindness and helpfulness and love for the animals in her care.”
About: I have owned pets my entire life, all kinds! From dogs and cats to birds and reptiles, my house has always been full of animals we have adored. I would love to love on your pets when you are needing them cared for! I am a full time nursing student, but my classes are all online so I am home everyday and/or available to come to your home. My kids homeschool two days a week as well so your pets would have extra care and love on those days. My kids are amazing with animals too! I have a pet safe environment which includes a 6 foot fence around our back yard for dogs if they come to us. I also keep our house locked even while we are home to ensure safety.
“Linda takes really great care of my 3 cats when I am out of town and able to book her services! She knows each cat as the individual they are and each ones personality and needs. She spends time playing with them and gives my 1 cat on medication his arthritis support without any confusion. I know I can count on her to take care of them like I would, and that is everything when traveling. Would recommend, without reservation!”

“Erin was great! She responded right away when we were looking for someone to care for our cat, Max, over the holiday. We set up a meet & greet and she was very friendly and accommodating. This was our first time w/a Rover sitter. The evening she was scheduled, she arrived at the right time to feed Max & give his insulin. It was a good experience!”

About: I have had 5 dogs in my life and have loved and cared for three dog at once before! I have always grown up around dogs and my dogs are always my world! I live an active lifestyle and work a 9-4. I do have an hour lunch break if needed to make it home during that time. But when I’m home I go for a walk in the morning and at night after dinner. I am always keeping an eye on my dog at home and making sure his bowl is always full of water and for when he needs to potty!
“Kara has provided wonderful reliable care for our dog twice now. Very happy with her attentiveness to Marley’s needs: she gives her long walks and plays with her, communicates and shares photos with us. Thank you Kara!!”
About: Hello! I’m Davis, I’m 27, and I have grown up around and caring for dogs my entire life. I have experience dealing with both senior dogs and puppies too! I currently live with my families dog Nelson, who is a one year old labradoodle. I have cared for and watched over my friends and extended family’s dogs when they’ve requested help.

For my own dog, he is let out ~10 times daily, walked twice a day, and we also try to spend at least 10-15 minutes on training. I also try to check my dogs paws, ears, eyes, and teeth a couple times per week to make doubly sure he is in good health. For my clients dogs, I would provide the same kind of attention to detail and safety I do for my own dog. You can expect timely correspondence back to you and the utmost care for your pup.
About: Hi, my name is Kathleen, and I am an experienced pet care handler. I have cared for dogs and cats of all various sizes and behaviors. A few examples of dogs I've worked with are corgis, pitbulls, and great pyrenees. I can handle most breeds and have worked with shy dogs, protective dogs, and highly energetic dogs.

I am mature, energetic, reliable, dependable, and, most importantly, sensitive to the unique needs of our furry babies. I'm currently in grad school and looking to fit this into my schedule. I'm available most mornings, 6 am to 8 am, and in the afternoon, after 4:30 pm for dog walking. I do have lunch breaks where I can do a drop-in and check on your furry baby. I am available weekends for walking, drop-in, or house sitting. I want to assure animals in my care will feel comfortable, loved, and safe. During visits and/or walks, I will always have my attention focused on your pet and will immediately remove them from any dangerous situation right away. I want them to be happy going on walks and getting to spend time out in nature.

One word: incredible. From the moment I met Joann, I could tell she was a very genuine and caring person (& my dog could too)! Throughout the visit, I was updated with pictures & she handled my dog’s many needs with ease - bladder expression, mobility, wound care, etc. Highly, highly recommend!!
I cannot thank Griffin enough for my last minute request coverage. Nothing makes you more anxious than worrying about who is caring for your baby. I know she was a little stand offish at first but he was patient and took great care of her. Would definitely hire again!
Allison was absolutely exceptional with my girls, Bella and Izzy while we went on vacation. She went above and beyond every single day, showering both pups with so much love and care. My ball-obsessed Lab had the best time when Allison played ball with her (even in the snow)—she really embraced her endless energy and made sure she got all the play she craves. Izzy got her special walks too! She did all the little extras, sent tons of adorable photos and updates so I never worried once while on our trip. I could tell from every message that both Bella and Izzy were getting the best possible care. Allison is incredibly reliable, thoughtful, and clearly passionate about what she does. I felt completely at peace having her help with my dogs and I can’t wait to book with her again soon. Highly recommend Allison to anyone looking for a trustworthy, loving sitter—she’s a true gem!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Overland Park is $19 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $31 per visit. 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 2,701 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Overland Park. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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 Overland Park 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!
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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
