“Stephanie was so helpful and kind with our two dogs! This was a first time using Rover and Stephanie exceeded all needs and eased our worry. With a senior dog who needs extra care and a younger dog who has much more energy, she was able to accommodate both of our boys to keep them happy and safe!”
About: I've had dogs for as long as I can remember. Very rarely do I find a dog or cat I can't connect with, and I am a very patient and admittedly stubborn person that just wants to be friendly with every pet I encounter. I've taken care of puppies who have worms all the way to senior dogs who gotta take their medication every day to stay healthy for as long as possible. On weekdays, I work from home 7:30AM-4PM. It's a very lax job where I can be hands off of my computer for the most part and take care of important things like pet care. Otherwise, my schedule is generally free. I'll happily watch, feed, play, walk, and take pets to go potty as often as necessary. I'll be sure to attempt to gain their trust while I'm taking care of them because they should be able to relax too while their owner is away. And if they are aloof, then I'll keep and eye on them and make sure to keep a comfortable distance.
“Tiffany is the best sitter we’ve had by far. Every time we come back from a trip, we can tell how well she took care of our dogs. It’s obvious she cares so much because she even leaves special treats for them. As long as Tiffany is available, she will always be my go to.”
“Katie is a kind, trustworthy animal caretaker. She takes such good care of our cats, including a diabetic cat who requires insulin shots. We highly recommend her services and will certainly request her services again whenever we leave town! Thanks, Katie, from us and the cats!”
About: Hi, I am Tricia and i have had dogs all my life. I love pets very much and have worked at local animal shelters. Working in animal welfare has graced me with all sorts of experience with all types of animal behaviors and personalities. I also have lots of animal medical experience. I have worked with animals with aggression, separation anxiety, seizures, deaf, shy and fearful and much more. I can also medicate animals in any way needed. I am experienced in giving shots and pilling animals. Basic training is something I like to work on with all animals as I believe it helps them not only build their confidence but also keeps their mind busy and wears them out! Please let me know if I can help you out! I am currently working from home meaning I can spend tons of time with your pups staying at my home! We also love to go get pup cups often! I have a fenced yard and dogs that also love other dogs. My house is centered around dogs with lots of comfy beds, toys and other fun stuff!
“Ron took great care of our dogs over a five day period during a busy holiday season. His drop-in visits occurred in the schedule we had requested, and he managed the daily walks we had asked for in addition to the regular feeding, watering, and backyard visits. With all the real-time notices of his visits, and we were able to relax and enjoy our trip. Great experience!”
“We had Vanessa watch our two young cats over Thanksgiving week. Vanessa was great with them and with us - attentive to their needs and very responsive to us. Our favorite was the pictures she shared in the after-visit reports, and our cats’ favorite was seeing their new buddy. Vanessa was very respectful, professional, and kind. Would definitely ask Vanessa to come back in the future!”
“Thank you, Shannon! She provided excellent care to my two cats! I would highly recommend Shannon as she was very dependable and caring. She provided regular updates and photos during our trip as well. I have already booked a second reservation with Shannon for a future trip. Shannon will treat your pets with the care they deserve.”
“Mikayla is super sweet and went above and beyond to take care of my doggo over the weekend! Her pups are also very friendly and I appreciated getting to know her and her animals beforehand. I’d trust her with my dog any time!”
“Caitlin was wonderful at taking care of my two spoiled enormous dogs! This is the first time we've used a pet sitter and we will be using Caitlin's services in the future. The dogs were more relaxed being at home and frankly I was relaxed on vacation. She gave them medicine they needed and kept us updated with lots of pics and it was truly a great experience.”
About: Lifelong Animal Lover with Advanced Care Experience I grew up surrounded by both dogs and cats, and my life has always revolved around animal companionship. I don't just love pets; I understand them deeply. Because I specialize in dog walking and drop-in visits (up to 3 times a day), my focus is entirely on providing structured, safe, and attentive care right in your pet's familiar environment. Expert Medical & Senior Pet Care I have extensive, hands-on experience managing complex care for pets of all life stages, including disabled senior animals. If your pet has specialized needs, they are in highly capable hands. I am fully confident and experienced with: Administering oral medications, pill hiding, and precise schedules. Managing advanced medical treatments, including injectables and subcutaneous (Sub-Q) fluids. Assisting pets with mobility aids, harnesses, and specialized diets. Managing senior pet hygiene, including diaper changes and cleanup. Understanding Behavioral Quirks & Big Personalities As a proud owner of two large bully breeds—one who manages severe anxiety and reactivity, and another a rescue recovering from past neglect—I understand that not every dog is a textbook "easy" walker. I am trained in patience, hyper-vigilant environmental awareness, and reading subtle animal body language to keep your reactive, fearful, or strong pup safe on walks. My home is also run by three incredible cats ranging from 3 to 10 years old (including an aloof kitty, a social butterfly, and a sweet disabled cat requiring extra patience). Having previously rehabilitated a rescue cat who became disabled with age, I know exactly how to respect a feline's boundaries while ensuring their needs are met. Whether your cat wants a high-energy play session, gentle grooming, or just a quiet human presence to keep them company, I adapt entirely to their mood. Because I work from home full-time, my schedule is highly flexible and reliable. I am available throughout the day to accommodate your pet's specific routine, offering dog walking and drop-in visits anywhere from 1 to 3 times a day. Here is how my lifestyle benefits you and your pet: Punctual & Consistent Timing: Since I am not tied to a rigid office commute, I can visit your pet at their preferred times for meals, medication, or potty breaks. Mid-Day Break Specialists: I am readily available for lunch-time walks to break up the day for high-energy dogs, puppies, or senior pets who cannot hold it for long. Rapid Emergency Response: Working locally from home means I am never far away. If your pet has a sudden change in schedule or an urgent need, I can adapt quickly. Your peace of mind is my top priority. I treat every animal with the same meticulous care, patience, and fierce love that I give to my own unique fur family. Here is what I bring to every walk or drop-in visit: Frequent Photo & Video Updates: My camera roll is already completely full of my own pets. You can expect detailed, visual updates during every single visit so you know your pet is thriving. Proactive Dog Safety: I bring hyper-vigilant environmental awareness, patience, and deep knowledge of subtle animal body language to every walk. This ensures your reactive, fearful, or strong pup stays completely safe. Customized Cat Care: I know exactly how to respect a feline's boundaries while ensuring their needs are met. Whether your cat wants a high-energy play session, gentle grooming, or just a quiet human presence, I adapt entirely to their mood.
About: I have been entrusted with the care of many friends and neighbors pets since I was 10 years old. I have my own cat, Pidge, who I trained to go on walks and do tricks. He’s very friendly and people oriented. I just adopted an Aussie puppy and have been adapting her to the world and keeping her mentally stimulated. I am a detail oriented and thorough sitter. If your pet has special quirks or needs I am more than willing to abide! I can go over their training, take them on a walk and prepare special treats or meals. Anything to ensure my visit is as close to their usual routine as possible. Your pets comfort and care is my top priority. My schedule works perfectly for date nights, concerts, and any special events you may have in the evening during the week. Weekends I’m fully available. If you want your dog to get some socialization I’m also willing to orchestrate a play date with my dog (after an initial meet with you present). I would love to check in on your pet or take your dogs (or cats) for a walk! I work full time so I am available on weekdays in the morning, evening and overnight. Weekends all day. I can visit after work and take them on a walk, feed them, let them out to potty, check their food/water, do some training, etc. I am detail oriented and will make sure I follow the specific routine and guidelines you require for your pet. In my own home I have a daily schedule for my puppy’s training in 10min increments to maximize her training and behavioral development, as well as give her my undivided attention in the hours she’s awake. I wouldn’t hesitate to go above and beyond for your pets as well. I care about the well being and safety of all animals and will make sure every pet in your home is treated with respect.
“Katy is wonderful with our senior cat, Fredo, who has special medical needs and likes a lot of attention. We always come home to a happy and content cat, so we know that Katy has taken great care of him while we were gone! We highly recommend her to anyone needing a pet sitter in the KC area.”
About: I have taken care of cats my entire life, but I’ve also taken care of family, friends and neighbors dogs on several occasions. I understand how anxious one can get by being away from their fur babies so let me help make the time away from your pets less stressful. I have plenty of time to take care of your animals. I just need two days notice on what all of my duties are going to be. If you want me housesitting as well as pet sitting, I am able to do that if you are wanting to just have me stop in that is perfectly fine as well just let me know exactly what you want me to do and I will get it done.
About: Friends, family, and co-workers often rely on me for dog and cat sitting. I have a pretty flexible schedule and have cared for small dogs and big dogs. I frequently go on walks when I’m off work and I’d like to take a dog with me. I’m not at the point in my life to have a dog of my own so I adore loving on other people’s fur babies! I’m pretty flexible early mornings and most evenings. I work a pretty standard job Monday through Friday and it would be no problem to work around it. I do not care for pets out of their own home. I prefer to watch pets in their own environment. I feel like that is best for them!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Raytown
We couldn’t have asked for a better person to watch our three pups while we were on vacation! From the moment we met, we felt comfortable knowing they were in good hands. She took great care of all three of them, kept us updated while we were away, and treated them like they were her own. It gave us so much peace of mind being able to enjoy our vacation knowing our pups were happy, safe, and well cared for. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and dependable to watch their pets. We will definitely be using her again!
Kellen took excellent care of my 2 dogs. Communication before, during, and after my vacation was top notch. He was patient with my old puppy who is anxious around new people. He also took time to play with the younger one. Visits were always on time. Will gladly rebook him to look after my dogs for my next trip.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Raytown stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Raytown 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
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.
To find sitters in Raytown with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
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.
