“I’ve been using Amber for the last few months for work trips and personal travel and she’s so great! She’s very responsive and has been flexible with last minute Ute changes. She’s my go to every time I need someone to watch my dog.”
“So grateful to have found Erin! She was so wonderful with my two dogs over the holidays! She sent me several updates throughout the day & left my home spotless. She has such a warm spirit & loved on my boys so well while I was traveling. I can’t recommend her enough!”
“Emily was absolutely amazing! So professional, easy to work with, and genuinely kind. She kept me updated with the sweetest pictures and gave me total peace of mind while I was away. Wrigley was clearly so happy and well cared for, which means the world to me. Communication was great the whole time, and I could tell she really went above and beyond. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Stephanie was fantastic watching our French Bulldog! We got a number of updates and she went above and beyond. We very much appreciated her and will be using her again!”
“I cannot find enough superlatives to describe our experience with Roxanne. She stayed with our Basset for nearly two weeks! While he was glad to see us when we returned home, we could tell he was cared for. Roxanne kept in constant communication and treated our dog is if he were her own. She stayed at our house, and it was left in better condition than when we left. I would recommend Roxanne without reservation, and I know we will use again in the future.”
“Lori did a great job caring for my pets. They seemed very comfortable with her, and they were happy and relaxed when I got home. She took good care of the house, and followed the care instructions. She sent lots of photos, and was very professional.”
“Lisa did so amazing! She was so communicative and gave us pictures/videos of the whole day. We just got our puppy two weeks ago and were nervous about being away, but Lisa did amazing with both the puppy and the cantankerous cat”

“Reed was very professional and kind. He visited with us 2x before the scheduled dates for our trip. During our trip he kept us informed on our pups and sent pictures daily. He left our home just as it was when he arrived. We were very happy with his service and will be rebooking with him for future dates.”
“Otto is the best! I am a repeat customer who used him for an extended stay while I was out of town. He sent lots of updates and photos with my dog on daily walks and adventures. I came home to a super clean house and a very happy dog. Otto is fantastic - highly recommend!”
“Jenni was outstanding! She was great to communicate with, went above and beyond in taking care of the house, and most importantly, the animals really felt safe with her. We will absolutely be requesting her services again.”
“Lauren did an amazing job watching our puppy this week. She's only 14 weeks so requires someone that can handle an active, at times aggressive puppy and Lauren did an exemplary job. Was such a relief knowing I can travel and not worry about a thing. Thanks Lauren!!”
“Linda is the best. She was great with Biggie. She kept up his routine and allowed all of us to rest easy. We received daily updates and pictures and he was mostly snoozing - so we know he was resting easy.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Overland Park
We used Kayla for the first time through Rover, and she was fantastic! She had great communication, was always on time, and took wonderful care of our two dogs, two cats, and even our gerbil, who needed a little extra TLC. During a storm, one of our dogs needed medication, and Kayla handled it without any issues. She sent daily photos, giving us peace of mind while we were away. We came home to happy pets and a house in great shape. We truly appreciated her care and would highly recommend her!
Katelyn was amazing! I felt uneasy leaving my cats, but as soon as they met Katelyn, my mind was put at ease. She is definitely a cat whisperer! She went the extra mile by sending me pictures morning and night and giving me updates on all of their shenanigans! I would highly recommend her!
Sofia did great staying the weekend with our dog. Our dog can be nervous without us but I believe Sofia did her best to keep him happy and comfortable. She treated our home with respect as everything was perfect when we returned. We're booking her again with no worries :)
Jennifer is a phenomenal pet sitter! We have never really left our dog with anyone other family before. But Jennifer made the experience completely worry-free! We highly recommend her for your pet and we will absolutely book with her again. Thank you for everything, Jennifer!
Casey was fantastic! He took care of our two dogs for an extended period of time and was very communicative. One of our dogs can be very anxious while our other dog is high energy and relatively new to our household so we didn't know how they'd do. Before our trip, he took the time to meet us and our dogs so he could learn more about them and become a familiar face. From the beginning, it was clear that Casey's kind and inquisitive demeanor was exactly what our dogs would need while we were away. During our travel, Casey was quick to reach out with any questions and even sent photos of the dogs each day! When our return home was unfortunately delayed for another night, Casey didn't hesitate to extend our booking. Highly recommend!
Our pups fell in love with Linda immediately! I have 2 mini long hair dachshunds and she had an immediate bond with them. She sent me many pictures and updated me that they were eating and playing well which made me very happy. It is the first time we had left them with someone other than family and we were very satisfied! We will call her again 😁
I really can’t say enough great things about Maddie. She’s the first pet sitter we’ve ever hired and I immediately felt good vibes from her and felt I could trust her with my babies. She sent me pictures and updates and even drew a beautiful pictures of my Birdie Girl 🩷 My house was clean when we came home and nothing was out of place. I recommend her 100% and I hope to have her watch my babies again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Overland Park
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Overland Park on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 1,675 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Overland Park. 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 Overland Park 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 Overland Park 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 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!
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.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
