“Katelyn was awesome! She kept me updated with pics. She stayed over at my home to watch my fur baby and I came back to my home clean and a happy dog. I highly recommend her and will be booking again for my next trip.”
“Truman (dog), Diann and I are happy and relaxed after returning from trip. Roxanne is great, great communicator, Truman comfortable with her, house spotless, got mail, took walks. Roxanne at our house beats dog care places 1000%. Rover/Roxanne is the way to go!”
“Lulu is fantastic! She communicated well before, during and after the booking. She sent great updates and photos, and left the house looking spotless. I’ll definitely use Lulu again - can’t recommend her enough!”
“Emily was great! Lady loved her from the moment she walked in. Her communication was clear and prompt. We came home to a clean house and a content doggo. We will definitely ask Emily to stay again 😁”
“Jennifer and Micah are great! Felt super confident about them before they stayed and even more so when I got back. They even sent professional-looking photos of my dogs to me while I was away! Highly recommend them!!”
“Phil and Megan were wonderful! Came home to happy dogs and a well cared for house. We loved the pictures and were happy to see even our more reserved dog was taking in some belly rubs.”
“My girls LOVED having Jennifer stay with them when we went away for the long Thanksgiving weekend. The baby of my pack is usually quite shy around new people but she instantly fell in love with Jennifer. She did great with all 4 of our furbabies ... from 15 lbs to 150 lbs and 6 months to 17 years.”
“We had a fantastic experience with Isabel! Our dogs have medication requirements, and she took excellent care of them while we were away. She sent frequent updates and pictures throughout the week, which we really appreciated. Isabel was professional, kind, and incredibly dependable. We felt completely at ease knowing our dogs were in her care. We will definitely be using her again in the future!”
“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!”
“Trinity did an absolutely amazing job with our 2 pups. Took them on multiple walks a day to help burn off energy and potty. Always provided multiple pictures with her updates. We will definitely book with her again.”
About: I've been taking care of my own pets (4 cats and 1 dog) for years and used to work as a Rainbow Valley vet clinic walker and boarder! I am currently living in Kansas City and my beloved kitty Nala who joined me up here passed in October. So I currently do not have any pets at home and would love some company boarding animals! I love watching both cats and dogs 🥰 I work from home and have very flexible work hours, so I have plenty of time for boarding and walking! I live in a house with a yard and have plenty of space for your pets to roam indoors! I have a medium sized yard for dogs and a house all to myself most of the time for animals to have their space! I love boarding overnight because of animal cuddles. I don't have a fence, but if your dog has a harness it won't be a problem at all!
“Book her! My dog looked so relaxed in the pics we received of her. Erin was communicative and so personable. I had no hesitation leaving my dog in her care. I will definitely be booking Erin again!”
“Maryn is amazing! She took great care of my boy while I was away for the week. I appreciated her updates and communication while I was away and will definitely reach out again for her services in the future.”
“Jason helped us out by taking our last-minute request, was friendly to work with, kept us regularly updated and our dog happy, and left our house in better condition than he found it. Highly recommend!”
“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!”
“Kayla did a wonderful job taking care of our dog! She kept us updated the whole time with pictures and texts, which was great peace of mind! It was obvious how comfortable our dog was with her, from the pictures of him totally relaxed with his belly in the air and how much fun he was having in the yard when we got home!”
“Courtney and Sara are the absolute best! Our pups had the times of their lives (that is what they told us 😁) They went above and beyond taking care of of the pups, and they also made sure our house was well looked after. A big storm happened during our trip and they took care of cleaning up debris, broken plant pots outside, and even having Evergy come out to repair a power line connector. So many pics were sent so we could stay in touch with how our girls were doing all week. Our house maybe was in even better shape than when we left too! We will definitely be contacting them again for our next trip.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Overland Park is $48

We felt completely at ease knowing our dogs were in her care. We will definitely be using her again in the future!
Jessica was great with our 10 year old Springer Spaniel. I feel like she bonded with her right away and gave me daily updates on how she was doing with lots of photos. I felt comfortable that she was being taken care of so I could enjoy our vacation. I would highly recommend Jessica.
We had a wonderful experience with our dog sitter! She took great care of our dog and kept us updated with daily reports and pictures, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. She was thoughtful, reliable, and went above and beyond by even taking out the trash on trash day. We really appreciated her attention to detail and the extra care she showed. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!
Philipp deserves 5 stars! Phil loved and cared for our dog Sammie and cat Artie like they were his. The in -home care was just fantastic. Artie is generally very shy and timid if she doesn’t know you but a picture less than 24 hours after we left with Artie out and about like normal, says volumes. He was very flexable with some minor changes in our travel challenges and when we returned, I think our home was cleaner then when we left. I have already requested a re-book in February. I highly recommend Phil whether it’s drop in care or extended overnights.
I highly recommend Maddie for any house/pet sitting needs you have. We have two very spoiled rotten pets (cat and dog), and she took amazing care of them. Maddie also did a great job keeping us updated on anything we needed to know and also sent us pictures of our fur babies while we were gone. We will definitely be asking Maddie to help us out again in the future.
Lindsey was great! She accepted my last-minute booking request and also agreed to change her availability to make the next weekend work as well. She came to meet my dogs and get instructions before her stay, and her communication before and during her stays was outstanding! We very much appreciated the updates and photos too. When we returned after both trips, our dogs were happy and our house looked just as we left it.
Katelyn is great! She takes excellent care of my boys when we are away, she's flexible and communicative. I have a high anxiety cat, a velcro cat and a kitten who is terrified of most people. These boys are almost never alone most days and I'm grateful that Katelyn keeps them company when we are out of town.
Caroline was absolutely great. We booked her for staying in our house while we were gone. She took such good care of our Mini Aussie while we were away. She met with us twice prior to our leaving to make sure our dog was comfortable with her. She followed our instructions and was very good about making sure we saw a series of pictures of our pup each day. She even took steps to make sure our dog was comfortable during a thunderstorm. She’s very reliable and did a great job sitting with our dog. We will definitely want to book Caroline again!
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!

FAQs for House Sitting - Overland Park
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Overland Park is $48 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $91 per night. 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 1,615 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Overland Park. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
