“Lilly was so great! She kept me updated with photos and stayed responsive throughout the stay. She left my home as she found it and even took the trash out! There was a crazy storm during her stay and she assured me the pups were safe and well cared for. Would love to use Lilly again!”
“Lily was amazing with our 4 fur children. She spent so much time with each and everyone of them and my animals are very happy after she stayed with them for a couple days. She was respectful of our home and would love to have her back!”
“Virginia was awesome and took care of our pups while we were away for a week. House was left very clean and she even took care of some of my mail that was delivered throughout the week. She asked appropriate questions and double checked anything that was not clear with our instructions. She was very knowledgeable and you can tell she is passionate about her job while pet sitting. I can't think of anything that would have made this a better experience. I will certainly use her again in the future.”
“Michael was wonderful! He took excellent care of Duchess over Labor Day and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. He was reliable, communicative, and attentive to her needs. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for cat. I would absolutely book with Michael again and highly recommend him!”
“We wanted someone to watch our dogs on the 4th of July because our dog gets scared of fireworks. We had never left him before for the 4th, but Alyssa did such an amazing job being there for our doggos!! She kept us updated with pictures and did a tremendous job!”
“Lilia was amazing with our rescue pup, Berkley! She is super calm and kind - we could tell our Berkley already felt comfortable around her the first time she met her! She sent us many photos throughout the weekend. She was very communicative and professional. We would recommend her to any friend or family member!”
About: I have many years of experience working with animals. I also have a BS in Rehabilitation Services Education. I am a foster for several rescues in the KC and Springfield area. I love all animals and will take great care of yours! I am available any time. Set up your date and times at least three days in advance, cancellations three days in advance as well. Thanks. I am able to provide care in your home overnight or during the day. Whatever your pet needs are, I will be there for them.
About: I am based in San Francisco and will travel to other cities in California if I can get there by public transportation. I travel by e-bike and public transport. I am an honest, reliable, trustworthy person who takes responsibility seriously. I will take great care with your beloved animals and with your home. I love animals of all kinds and have looked after cats of every temperament, many breeds of dogs as well as chickens, turkeys, goats and fish! I feed, play and groom animals according to your instructions and always love to give pets extra love and attention. Frequently, both dogs and cats who are not friendly right away, or who may be shy or reserved, come right over and cuddle with me. Many pet parents are happily surprised when they see this happen! I am an artist and a real homebody and spend most of everyday in the home with your pets. I'm constantly taking photos and videos and will send the cutest ones to the "parents." I would do the same for you! When you have an overnight sitter, your home is protected by having someone there while you are away and pets get to feel the safety and comfort of being in their own environment, reducing the stresses of transporting them, boarding them with other animals they don't know and other discomforts of being in an unknown environment. I will be in the home most of the day, every day and can play with your pups and your kitties as much as they crave! I love caring for animals and spending time with them! And while I am sitting for you, your pets' well-being is my number 1 priority! I am always keeping an eye on things and making sure everyone is healthy, safe and feeling loved. :) I make caring for your pets and your home a priority in every way! I pay attention at all times to all the animals under my care to make sure everyone is healthy, happy and feeling loved and safe! I follow your instructions regarding feeding, playing and grooming.
“Makenzie house sat for us again while we were on our honeymoon in Mexico, and she was wonderful as usual. Thanks so much Makenzie for taking care of our furs, sending pictures and updates and giving us peace of mind that they’re happy!”
“Angela was amazing! She took great care of our dog, three cats and chickens. We are always nervous to leave our little family behind when we travel, but Angela was very responsive and we knew they were safe and in good hands. We'll be going to Angela for help whenever we can. We cannot recommend her enough!”
“Lauren is amazing! She communicated regularly and sent pictures to us throughout our vacation. Our dog was well cared for and happy when we got home. We will absolutely book with Lauren again and recommend her to our friends!”
“Hilary is the best dog-sitter we have ever had. She made us feel so comfortable leaving Vinny - he is a true pandemic dog and has lots of separation anxiety. In addition to sending us loads of very welcomed pictures and videos, she also took amazing care of our house. I cannot recommend Hilary enough! I almost don't want to write this review so other people know how fantastic she is! 🤣”
“Karrie did a great job and caring for Chase and the house! When we got home Chase was his happy self and really seemed like he enjoyed Karrie’s company. The house was well taken care of as well!! Would definitely book with Karrie again!”
About: I have been a dog owner for most of my life, but do not currently have one. I miss having a dog and the companionship they provide. This is why I am hoping to help take care of yours when needed :) I was a dog groomer for about 3 years and loved every minute of it! I'm available to take care of your pet early in the morning, afternoon with advance notice on weekdays, evenings, and nights as well as weekends and holidays. I am open to providing drop-in care, dog walking, and grooming services - whatever you need for your beloved pet. We can discuss when, where, and how you're comfortable with me providing these services.
“I think she did a wonderful job watching our animals! She sent us a couple pictures and checked in just about every day. She stayed and hung out with our golden retriever and the house looked untouched when we came back! Definitely recommend!”
About: Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or overnight stays, your furry friend will receive all the love and attention they deserve. I prioritize safety and fun, ensuring your pet feels at home while you’re away. I’ve been taking care of pets for friends and neighbors ever since high school. This has included both dog walking and dog/cat sitting. I was also a nanny to both a toddler and two dogs so I am confident that I have the experience to ensure excellent care for every pet that I take on. Let’s connect and make your pet’s day brighter! I work from home Wednesday/Friday and other weekdays I typically get home from work around 2 pm. Weekends I am completely free. I am a homebody at heart so looking for some furry friends to keep me company or get me out for my daily walk/run! I am both a huge dog and cat lover! I live in an apartment in a very pet friendly building within a great walking neighborhood. I love taking dogs along for my morning run if they need to let out some extra energy. I have no pets of my own to worry about which is why I’m looking to give yours some extra love! Totally willing to accommodate any special request such as administering medicine, maintaining a training regimen, etc.
About: I’ve had dogs all my life and it seemed the family dogs always gravitated toward me. I can’t imagine life without them! I’ve been caring for other’s dogs ever since I got my drivers license. The first dog I watched for a family (a beautiful Alaskan husky) had diabetes and required diabetic shots twice a day. Even though it hurt to have to give him shots, I loved having the opportunity to care for dogs other than my own. Since then I’ve had the opportunity of being the go-to dog watcher for several families with several different dog (and cat) breeds. I will make every effort to give your dog the same care that I was able to give Skyler and the rest of the dogs I’ve had the great fortune of watching and taking care of. There’s not many things that give me more joy than spending time with dogs. Now that I have more time on my hands in my 30’s I have recently gotten connected with volunteering with KC Pet Project. Dogs deserve all the love in the world. I currently work from home Monday and Friday so in addition to the weekend, it opens up availability to be present for the doggie. I’m in the office Tuesday - Thursday but available for morning/evening and quick bathroom breaks over lunch. I have a fenced in backyard and ample space inside the house to make your dog comfortable. I can crate if needed, but also have rooms that can function as “dog” rooms for the periods when I need to leave the house. I have my own Belgian Malinois, who mostly does her own thing. :)
“Martha was amazing! She ended up taking care of my fur kids on short notice and kept me updated on everything via text and pictures. I could tell my girl had a great time with Martha and i will definitely use her as my go-to for any future trips :)”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Platte Woods
We are in a unique situation staying in a hotel as our home is being fixed due to a tree falling on it. Jessica stayed at the hotel for five days with my senior pug who has severe separation anxiety. She slept with him, she took the up most care of my baby. He has never been left with anyone other than his 10years of living. She gave him his daily meds, took him on long walks, she sent pictures everyday, and she had great communication. Not only did we find an amazing sitter, we found a wonderful friend. Jessica is now family. I highly recommend her, she will treat your pet as if they are her own.
We cannot say enough wonderful things about Savannah. She stayed with our dogs over a holiday weekend and went above and beyond in every possible way. She kept us updated with frequent messages and photos which gave us so much peace of mind knowing our pups were happy, safe, and well cared for. One of our dogs escaped the backyard during a storm!!! Savannah remained calm, acted quickly, and worked with our neighbor to get her safely back home. Knowing our dog was in such capable hands during a stressful situation meant the world to us. She also did an amazing job managing the special dietary needs of one of our dogs, who is currently dealing with some health issues. As if that wasn't enough, Savannah took care of extra things around the house that we never expected, including taking out the trash, doing the dishes, and even repaired a broken flag holder that had been damaged during the storm. And the sweetest surprise of all: she painted two beautiful portraits of our dogs for us. They are absolutely gorgeous and will be treasured for years to come. Savannah is responsible, thoughtful, communicative, and truly cares for both the pets and the families she works with. We came home to happy dogs, a well-cared-for home, and hearts full of gratitude. We would hire her again in a heartbeat and recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for an exceptional pet sitter. Thank you, Savannah, for treating our pups like your own and for going so far above and beyond. You are amazing!
Liz was absolutely wonderful with Harper! She took such great care of her over the six days we were away, and it was clear they became fast friends. She patiently put up with Harper’s endless love for squeaky toys and zoomies and kept me updated with pictures throughout the stay. Seeing pictures of Harper all cuddled up and looking so happy gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. When I got home, Harper was happy and clearly well taken care of, and the house was clean and just as I left it. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely trust Liz with Harper again. Highly recommend! 🐾❤️
Michael was wonderful! He took excellent care of Duchess over Labor Day and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. He was reliable, communicative, and attentive to her needs. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for cat. I would absolutely book with Michael again and highly recommend him!
Allie went above and beyond. She kept our dogs safe, happy, and loved, sent regular photo updates, and her communication was excellent. The house was cleaned up perfectly when we returned. We would 100% book her again and recommend her to anyone needing a pet sitter!
Roselynn house sat for us and watched our year old kitten. Belle is usually very shy around new people, but warmed up to Roselynn immediately. We got updates and pictures while we were away which made us feel very relaxed and happy. She is extremely trustworthy and not only took great care of our kitten, but great care of our house. We came home to a very relaxed and happy kitten!
Ellie was fantastic! She took such great care of Mina and went above and beyond by cleaning our home, so it was spotless when we returned from vacation. She was an excellent communicator, kept us updated throughout our trip, and sent plenty of pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend her!
This was our first time using Rover and our first time working with Christina, and as people who are new to town without a pet-sitting network yet, we were understandably a little nervous leaving our home and animals with someone new—especially for a 10-day international trip. We could not have been luckier to find Christina. From the start, she was kind, friendly, professional, and incredibly reassuring. She cared for our crew as if they were her own: two border collies (one very outgoing BC who demands constant attention and one shy, anxious BC who prefers to be hand-fed) plus a nocturnal, vocal cat. She handled every personality with patience, understanding, and genuine care. Christina communicated consistently and thoroughly, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Because of her, we felt confident leaving for such a long trip—and we returned to happy, well-cared-for pets. Not only has Christina become our trusted pet sitter, she has truly become a treasured new friend. We would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for exceptional care, professionalism, and kindness.
Kylee stayed in my apartment over the weekend and was absolutely amazing with a dog who cant be around kids or other dogs. Extremely response, overall super nice person. I came home and my freaking bed was made and the dishes were done!!!!! I mean come on, I dont think my dog was the one that did those things. This is someone you want with your dog.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Platte Woods is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $75 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.

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 Platte Woods 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 Platte Woods 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Platte Woods 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
