“Kelly is wonderful. My dogs instantly loved her. She sent me updates and pictures all weekend. She administered meds for Gigi (not easy). And she saved me when my other sitter cancelled last minute. I would highly recommend!”
“Erin was fantastic! We had severe storms while we were away and Erin was conscientious enough to watch the sump pump and take care of the patio furniture so it wouldn't get blown away too. We were grateful for that!! She took several amazing photos of our dog and communicated daily. We will definitely use her services again in the future. She has a very sweet personality too!!”
“Abigail was absolutely amazing with our pups!! She sent update pictures all the time as the dogs looked like they were having a blast! We have already re-booked her to watch them again :)”

“Thank you, Rachel, for taking such wonderful care of our sweet husky while we were on vacation. Your love and attention meant the world to us, and we could tell our pup was in the best hands.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Overland Park
Lindsey was awesome and very responsive! She was flexible after we had to change the dates and times she was watching our dogs a couple times. She sent pictures every day with an update and we loved receiving them. Our pups looked very content in the photos, so we knew they felt comfortable with her!
Rachel watched our two pugs for several days while we were out of town, and this was our first time using Rover. Our pugs are our life, so we were a little nervous about leaving them and wanted to make sure they were in good hands. Rachel gave us peace of mind from the very beginning. She did an awesome job and truly went above and beyond taking care of them. She stayed at our home while we were gone, kept us updated, and we couldn’t have been happier with how everything went. It was such a relief knowing our pugs were being well cared for while we were away. We had a great experience with Rachel and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. We will definitely use her again!
This was our first time using Rover for our two senior cats and we had a wonderful experience with Rachel! Our cats have a very regimented feeding schedule that includes multiple feedings a day and a lot of meds/supplements, and she handled it all like a champ. She was at our house a lot which brought us peace of mind. She sent lots of photo and updates, which also put us at ease. Rachel was also a wonderful house guest and took great care of the house and left it clean. We came home to two happy and well taken care of kitties and will definitely use her again! I 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!

FAQs for House Sitting - Overland Park
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Overland Park on Rover is $46.62 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 1,654 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.

- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
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.
