“Samantha was amazing, as always! She takes great photos that always make us laugh, and I can tell our dogs our comfortable with her. She provides wonderful and expert care to our dog who has special needs due to cancer.”

About: Hi! My name is Briah, I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember. I obtained an animal science degree with an emphasis on companion animal care. I also have 5 years of experience working as a veterinary assistant in local clinics, as I’ve recently transitioned careers I miss seeing furry friends on a daily basis. Unfortunately I don’t have pets of my own at this time, but I would love to help care for yours! I currently work from home 3 days a week, and spend most of my time at home on the weekends. I am able to provide walks and ear scratches throughout the day. I do not have any pets of my own in my home, I live in an apartment with a park conveniently located right out front for walks.

“Jessica was great! You can tell she truly cares about building relationships with the dog as she came to our home to meet our pup before watching her solo. Communication was great and she was very respectful of our home.”

About: Hey! I’m Brendan. I’m new to Rover, but I’ve been around dogs my entire life. I currently live in downtown Kansas City with my two best friends, Malakai, an 8 year old Siberian Husky, and O’Malley, a 3 year old Frenchie, so I’m very comfortable with both high energy dogs and smaller companion breeds. I work from home full time, which gives me a flexible schedule for walks, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your dog, and I’ll always make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I work from home full time, so pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. My dogs already keep me active with walks, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of attention throughout the day, so adding another furry friend to the mix feels pretty seamless. I’m home most of the day and have a flexible schedule during both weekdays and weekends. Your dog’s safety and comfort will always come first with me. I live in a pet friendly apartment downtown with plenty of walking areas nearby, and my two dogs are both very social and friendly with other dogs. I’m also comfortable crating your dog if preferred or following any routines, feeding schedules, or care instructions you already have in place to help them feel at home.

About: Hi! I'm Brooklyn, and I've been around dogs my entire life. I've cared for my own Bulldog and Pitbull/Mastiff mix, giving me experience with both strong, energetic dogs and more relaxed companions. I understand that every dog has their own personality and routine, and I pride myself on being dependable, patient, and attentive to their needs. Whether your pup needs a long walk, some exercise, or just a little extra love and attention while you're away, I'll treat them like one of my own. I also love sending photo updates so you can feel confident your furry friend is in great hands! I'm available for dog walking on weekends and enjoy spending my free time outdoors. Whether your pup needs a quick walk, extra exercise, or some fresh air and attention while you're busy, I'd love to help. I strive to be reliable, punctual, and flexible so both you and your dog have a great experience. Your dog's safety and comfort are my top priorities. During walks, I'll always keep your dog securely leashed, follow any instructions you provide, and pay close attention to their behavior and surroundings. I'm experienced with larger breeds and understand the importance of staying alert, using proper leash handling, and ensuring every walk is both safe and enjoyable. I'll also provide updates and photos so you can feel confident your pup is in good hands.

About: Devoted pet enthusiast with a lot of experience caring for furry friends of all shapes and sizes. I've created lasting bonds with a variety of pets and I'm committed to ensuring every pet is well-cared-for. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, so I have time to care for pets throughout the day in my home or yours. I'll maintain your pet's routine while providing proper nutrition, regular exercise, and mental stimulation. Plus plenty of cuddles and scratches for those who love them! 🙂 My goal is creating an enjoyable experience for your pet during their stay. My backyard is enclosed with 45-inch chain link fencing, and dogs are always supervised outside for safety. I kennel other pets during pickups and drop-offs, and all pets eat separately to prevent any conflicts.

“Jessica is great with our two huskies! Very punctual and professional. We also loved the updates and photos sent after their walk. Would definitely recommend!”

I have plenty of experience so your pet will be very well taken care of I work on Ward Parkway at Burns & McDonnell. I have every other Friday off as well as the weekends. I usually work 6:30-4:30 and work from home 1 day a week. Anything after work or any time during the days where I work from home or don’t work fit into my schedule perfectly! I always try to play with them when they want to if I’m not too busy and like to walk/play with them before leaving them alone so they’re tired and don’t have too much energy when they’re home alone

About: Hi!! My name is Alyssa, and I’m a dedicated and compassionate pet sitter in the Kansas City area! I have experience working with animals of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, from energetic puppies to senior pets who need a little extra patience and care. I’m very attentive to routines, feeding schedules, and any specific needs your pet may have. I also have hands-on experience caring for my diabetic cat, including administering insulin injections and monitoring routines. Because of this, I’m comfortable supporting pets with medical needs and understand the importance of consistency, timing, and gentle handling. Outside of pet sitting, I work in the counseling field supporting children and families, which has strengthened my patience, responsibility, and ability to stay calm in all situations, these skills I bring into caring for your pets as well. My goal is to make sure your pet feels comfortable, loved, and secure while you’re away and to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. I am getting my master’s, so I have some evening classes, but I am still able to provide consistent, attentive care throughout the day. I’m available for drop-ins, walks, and house sitting during weekdays and weekends. Because of my schedule, I’m able to prioritize your pet’s routine, including feeding times, walks, play, and any medical needs like medications or insulin injections. I do my best to be reliable, on-time, and responsive to messages. I prioritize safety, structure, and a calm environment for every pet I care for. I follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, medications, and any specific instructions you provide. I have experience administering medications, including insulin injections, and understand the importance of consistency and careful monitoring. In your home, I am respectful of your space and ensure your pet feels comfortable and secure. I pay close attention to behavior and body language, especially for anxious or shy pets, and adjust my approach to meet their needs. My goal is to create a safe, low-stress environment where your pet feels cared for and you feel confident they’re in good hands.

“Thanks so much! Looking forward to having you come back”

About: I grew up with a lab/pitbull mix, and have lived with other big dogs. I get along with all puppies, and am down to lounge with them, walk them, or play! I am a remote worker, so I plan to walk dogs on my lunch break (approximately 12 PM - 1 PM). I can also check in on dogs and feed them as needed. I always make sure they have food and water, and feel safe in their environment. I’m not one to push a dog out of their comfort zone, but I will always approach your puppy with kindness and consideration.

About: We are both fully remote tech workers, with tons of flexibility to take your pets on walks, tire them out with playtime, or just hang out! And when it comes to your walker/sitter - two is better than one! Since we do all our Meet and Greets together, we both will learn the ins and outs of caring for your pet. After our beloved dog, Rufus, passed away, Rover is our outlet to get our dog fix in. We both have experience with senior pets and are comfortable following special instructions and giving medications. We're also comfortable caring for cats of any disposition, whether cuddly or cranky! Both of our schedules are extremely flexible! We can schedule dog walks and playtimes for mornings, afternoons, and evenings with no issue. We walk the Riverfront Heritage trail daily anyway, and would love to bring your dog with me for company! We're also down to keep it low key and hang out to keep your dog or cat company while working or reading a book. We try to do all of our walks together but if one of us is held up in a meeting or feeling unwell, the other can always take over solo! We are focusing on drop-ins and walks for now. We keep all dogs securely on-leash and avoid interactions with other animals. Depending on your pet's physical needs, we are okay with more frequent short outings or longer, intense jogging exercise sessions. We will follow your usual outing, feeding, and crating schedule in order to keep your pet's routine consistent.

About: I grew up with dogs and cats, have fostered in the past, and continue to care for my friend’s pets while they are away. I am open to house-sit, drop in, or go on however long of a walk your best friend needs. I have a lot of experience taking care of pets in their own homes, making sure they are safe and comfortable. I have experience with different breeds and temperaments - cuddlers, partiers, grouches, and loungers all deserve love! I can’t wait to spend time with your best friend and give you peace of mind. I work full time, but work from home Mondays and Fridays. Currently I could do drop-ins and walks anytime Fridays through Mondays. For Tuesday through Thursday, I would only be available early morning and evening. I’m available any day for house sitting stays which includes overnight care in your home with evening and morning routines. We can discuss if midday drop-in or walk are needed on the days i’m in the office. Drop-ins include feeding, water refresh, play/potty time, and quick updates. Walks include a 30-minute walk at your dog’s usual pace, leash handling, water refill if needed, and notes to the owner. If your dog needs longer than 30 minutes, Incan also do a longer walk for an hour. I make a point to ensure pets are following their schedules and any training they are working on. I always make sure to double check any needs/wants with the owner, to make sure pets are at their most comfortable. Let me know how your pet thrives in their environment, the more details the better! I will keep you updated on anything you specifically ask, or of any questions I might have that will help me get to know your pet better.

About: Hi everyone! I am an animal lover and would love to help you out by letting your pets out during the day, taking them on walks, or even watching them while you are out of town. I have grown up with both dogs and cats all my life, as of right now though I currently only have a cat but love dogs just as much. I’m extremely patient, understanding, and trustworthy. I’m comfortable with both large and small dogs, and of course puppies! I am flexible with whatever your pet’s needs might be, just let me know and I’m sure we can figure out a way to provide them with the care that they need. I look forward to meeting you all and your pets! I currently work full time during the week but free in the evenings. I am available during the week after 4p and anytime on the weekends. I currently live in an apartment so if pets stayed with me, they would need to be comfortable with cats and quiet due to apt living. I am comfortable coming to your house and looking after dogs or cats.

About: I would love to spend time with your pup(s) and give you peace of mind while you are traveling, busy for the day or working. I know how important pets are to families and individuals so I will treat them like my own! I also have a Golden retriever who is great with any and all size dogs. She has truly never met a person or dog that she doesn’t like! I have a flexible schedule as I work remote so I can be available based your dogs schedule. Also I frequent dog parks to get my Golden’s energy out and would be happy to take your dog(s) as well. Please let me know if you have any additional questions! I love to go on walks in the morning/early evening and spend time cuddling on the couch. What ever your dog needs, I’m available to serve! I am searching for jobs so I am on my computer at home for 2-3 hours a day, perfect for nap time. I have a very pet friendly home so the more the merrier! There is a park across the street and designated dog stations for them to potty.
