“Lulu did a great job! This was our first time having her sit our dog and she was wonderful. I loved her detailed updates and I could tell my dog felt comfortable around her”

“Thomas was amazing with our animals. So loving and kind, they were happy and healthy when we returned. He also took immaculate care of our apartment, it was clean and tidy when we returned!”
“Angie was amazing and meeting her put me completely at ease! I knew our zoo was in good hands and would end up spoiled, which they were. She even left us a report card which was appreciated. Angie will be our go to sitter without a doubt!”


“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!”
About: Hi, my name is Autumn and i have worked with dogs and other animals for over 15 years. My experience comes from working in animal hospitals, pet stores, daycare, boarding, and rescue facilities. I've also been a dog walker for about 3 years. I worked for a dog walking company for 2 years and then started my own pet care/dog walking business called Road Dogs Pet Care and Transportation. I am a single mother of two daughters (5 & 11) and dog mom of 3 older (13,13, &15), very sweet dogs. They are all very social and well behaved. I have a large fenced in yard. I also have experience doing nail trims and offer in-home nail trims. i also have experience bathing and administering medications. I take care, safety, and love very seriously and will always do my best to make sure your babe feels as comfortable and happy as possible! Profile update: Hi, a lot has changed since I first joined Rover. I no longer have my three elderly babies as they have all passed away due to old age. We now have two new additions to our family, Six and Pepper. Six is my 2 year old Border Collie/Heeler mix. She's very spunky, sweet, and playful! Pepper is our 2 1/2 yr old 7 lb. poodle. She is basically my daughters little sidekick and spends almost all of her time with her. She sometimes thinks she's a Doberman, but she's harmless and warms up quick. Once she warms up she's ready to run with the big dogs! They're both great girls and are used to new friends and visitors often. 😊 I'm home full-time and take care of my two kids, two dogs, and our aquatic turtle. Aside from running occasional errands or appointments, I'm able to give your dog or dogs all the love, attention, and playtime that they need. I'm also available for daily dog walks if needed. I have a large fully fenced yard for them to run and play in. They are all inside and outside frequently throughout the day as needed or as they please. I'm happy to cater to any individual needs. 2/23/25 Update: Hi, so its now been about 23 years of working with all these amazing beautiful babes! Im still available for boarding, home drop-ins, and daily walks or potty breaks if you don’t have time or need any extra help. We have a new family member now. Marley is our newest baby girl. She is a two year old Dalmatian and she is super sweet and full of playful sweet energy! She gets along with everybody. :) So our household currently consists of Me, my partner, my two daughters (10 & 16), Six, Pepper, Marley, and Mr.B (Turtle). Also just to clarify, my name is Amber Autumn Hays. I went by Autumn when I first started my Rover Act. You can call me either. :) Please let me know if you are in need of a sitter, boarding, daycare, walks, or nail trims, and I would be happy to help! 😊🐾🐾🐾 Can't wait to meet new friends and see old ones again! Looking forward to warm weather and summertime fun! ☀️ Basically I live and breath kids and dogs and my world pretty much revolves around my kids and yours. :) I have learned a lot over the last 23 years so I am very qualified in giving your pup the care they want and need while you are away. I have a very large fully fenced in yard and 3 friendly and playful babes to keep your baby company. Everyone has free roam in the house or outside during the day. I can also kennel if need be or I only kennel at night or if I leave the house for any reason. If I come to your home, I follow any instructions you give me and the time frame that you’re needing.
“Megan is wonderful! She played with our dogs, took them for walks, fed them, and sent us a bunch of pictures. We are VERY HAPPY with her care and will use her again to take care of our two dogs. Thank you SO MUCH, Megan!!”


“Erika was so amazing. Because we are paranoid parents of a rescue pitty, finding someone to take care of our baby for two weeks was a very scary thing to do. Erika reassured us that all would be well while we were gone, and sure enough, everything at home was perfect. My husband and I were able to enjoy ourselves during our travels, stress free, knowing Sheeba was taken care of and loved every day by Erika. Erika was also so wonderful with keeping in touch, communicated with us every day, sending us pictures and updates; and Sheeba seemed so happy and well taken care of; she did not even have as much anxiety when we returned home like we thought she would. Thank you so much Erika for everything; we will definitely keep you for the future!!”
“Saige was so wonderful while we were gone! She took excellent care of our pups, sent pictures and updates! I will definitely be using her again. Such a peace of mind having her here.”


About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life and I am super passionate about animals. I have experienced both owning and sitting animals of all ages (especially puppies) and I would love to get to know your fuzzy friends!😊 I am a student, but I am pretty flexible! I am a runner so long walks don’t bother me at all. For sitting I can start at 9 on fridays and leave anytime on sunday (same for weekend drop-ins and walks) and for drop-ins on mondays i can do any time before 11 and anytime after 4 due to my class schedule😊 Animals are one of my passions so I will be giving your fur baby as much attention as it needs. Whether that is a walk, a food and water refill, some pets or a simple potty break, I will be there!

About: I have took care of animals since I was young I have been around animals even longer. I have always loved them. I promise you can trust me I am currently working part-time and also I am a Full time student .Some weeks my schedule is a little all over the place but, Tuesdays and Thursdays are the best days for me! I prefer taking care of your pet at your home but , I do have a fence yard and friendly animals of my own. I am fine with playing fetch and walking them around your or my neighborhood
“Adrianna was AMAZING! It was my first time leaving my dog and she was so great to send constant updates and pictures. She knew just how to approach my dog who is nervous around new people at first and by the end of the stay, my dog was loving Adrianna! Adrianna was willing to be super flexible with my unreliable flight schedule and work to accommodate any last minute changes that could arise! Highly recommend Adrianna! Thanks for the wonderful service!”

“Celia was very kind and flexible. When my flight was delayed, she had no problem stopping by my place, one more time to check on my pets. When I came home, they were happy and well cared for! Thanks Celia 😊”

“Kalya was absolutely the best dog and home sitter we’ve ever had! She is incredibly easygoing, accommodating, and just an all-around wonderful person to have looking after your home and pets. Our two dogs are pretty spoiled, and, honestly, they can be A LOT. Kalya handled them with so much love, patience, and care that we felt completely at ease knowing they were in her hands. She even sent us pictures of them having the time of their lives at the dog park, which made being away from them so much easier! We also live in an older home with lots of quirky “personality,” and Kalya somehow figured out everything she needed to know without missing a beat. When we got home, the house was actually in better shape than when we left it! She even kept everything watered during some of the hottest days of the year. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Our dogs were happy, our home was cared for, and we came back feeling like everything had been handled perfectly. We really can’t say enough wonderful things about Kalya and would absolutely have her back in a heartbeat! —W”

“I hesitate to say how amazing Chantelle is because I want her to always be available when I need her! But she is truly the BEST when it comes to house sitting and taking care of our furry guys. We know they are in great hands when she is with them - she sends texts and photos to update us so we don't worry about a thing. We are so grateful to have found Chantelle!”

About: Your pets are treated like family. Spoiled, respected, and kept safe at all times. Playtime and peace of mind are important to you. I know as a pet parent myself. I grew up with dogs my whole life. I have trained some since they were a puppy. Others I have trained as a rescue or later in life that needed another chance or change in behavior from food agression. I am very keen on checking a dog's body language to make sure they are comfortable and reading cues that could lead to aggression and diverting a situation before it escalates. Keeping them and others safe is a priority. I can accommodate if you have new pets that need slow introductions to one another or need separated during feeding times. I am in the medical field, and I am comfortable giving eyedrops, eardrops, and additional medication as needed. I also have good attention to detail if there is something that may need further evaluation with your pet. I can also brush your pet or their teeth if allowed by them and by special request. All of my pets are on flea/tick prevention and up to date on vaccines. I am happy to give them as many pets and attention as they want. I work until 2:30pm 5 days a week. I can be available in the evenings, and on my days off. I work occasional weekends. I can take your pet out on walks, play in the house, or in the backyard for potty breaks. Whatever is most convenient for you. I'll always check and make sure the collar or harness is fitting appropriately so they won't slip out and be safe.
“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!”

My background includes rescue work, complex medical management, and specialized nutrition. Pet care is a lifelong passion and a core priority for me. I treat every animal in my care as a cherished family member, ensuring they receive the highest level of attention, safety, and affection. Pet care is my primary focus, allowing me to build my daily and weekly schedules entirely around the needs of the animals in my care. Because I manage a diverse range of species, my routine is structured to provide both consistent companion animal attention and precise habitat monitoring. When visiting your home, my focus is on maintaining absolute security, cleanliness, and the comfort of your pets in their familiar surroundings. Standard Companion Care: I handle feeding, fresh water replacement, litter box scooping, and dog walking. I follow your home security protocols precisely and provide regular photo updates. Advanced Aquatic Care: I check water levels, monitor filtration systems, verify water temperatures, and inspect fish closely for early signs of illness or stress. Specialized Reptile Care: I execute exact dietary plans, verify humidity levels, and ensure heating elements or UV lamps are functioning perfectly. To provide the best possible care, I always welcome written instructions, care guides, or checklists from pet parents. Knowing your pet's unique quirks and daily routine helps me keep them happy and stress-free!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Raytown
Pamela was easy to talk to and give instructions to. She came to our house right on time, kept an open communication line with us during our trip. She loved our dogs and they loved her back. She left our home as clean or cleaner than we left it. Towels and bedding were clean and ready for our arrival home. Thank you Pamela. Until next time. The Roberts family.

We’ve booked with her multiple times, and she’s always been reliable, responsive, and wonderful with our dogs. We always feel comfortable knowing they’re in good hands while we’re away. She also leaves our home clean and well cared for, which we really appreciate. We highly recommend her and will definitely continue booking with her in the future!

Martie was amazing! It was our first time being away so long and having someone house sit and care for our elderly dog and energetic cat. We received so many pictures, and so many good ones! She put our mind at ease. And she was so responsive with communication. Should we need this service again there is no doubt we would want her!

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 Raytown 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 Raytown 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 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!

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 .

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.
