About: I helped raise and care for dozens of dogs as a kid. My family lived on about 7 acres and we always had dogs to care for. Currently, I have a beagle who is the center of my universe. We are always out finding sniffs and socializing with people and other dogs. There are several wooded hiking trails near my apartment that he loves, and I’m sure your pup will too. I love being outside and on the move, and am happy to have your pup join me. I walk everywhere and know plenty of places for them to explore. I have a Ruffwear Hitchhiker Leash. It’s a waist worn leash with a 7mm climbing rope connected your dog to me at the hip, literally. They will be safe in my care while being able to have freedom and fun at the same time.
“Samantha was great! She took care of my 2 particular cats very well. She sent adorable photos and kept me up-to-date on their activities, moods, and more. My house looked perfect when I came home. I’ll definitely book again :)”
About: I got my first family dog when I was in middle school, no professional experience but I know to handle and care for dogs, wanting to gain some professional experience I currently work part time, about 30 hours a week. Weekday evenings after 5, Friday afternoons/evenings, and weekends are free! Looking to help with short term dog care as I gain experience in pet care. I don’t currently have any pets, but I have a spacious apartment with a fenced in backyard and a small front yard. Near lots of parks.

“Best sitter ever! Hilary was incredibly communicative, attentive to my cats needs, and had creative and warm ideas for how to engage him and build trust. She even bought him an awesome catnip meow-icule treat and took the most amazing videos of him playing with it!”

We’re comfortable with walks, playtime, feeding routines, and providing the care and attention dogs need to feel comfortable and well cared for. We both work full time and have different wfh days during the week, along with flexibility! I work 10 minutes from our home, so going home during lunch is very easy!

About: Hello my name is Anna! I have had dogs and cats all my life and have been dog sitting for my family for years. I am very comfortable around all breeds and sizes, including high energy breeds and have had experience with many different dog personalities. I have such a passion for animals and I can not wait to shower your pets with love and care. I am a nurse, so I am very responsible and am comfortable administering medications to your pup or cat. I do work full-time as a nurse but have a flexible schedule. Please contact me with any questions you many have. I promise to love your pet as my own and I can't wait to meet your dog or cat!
About: We have a small Shih Tzu, a German Shepherd, and a cat at home, so animals are truly a big part of our family. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, personalities, and needs, including pets who require extra attention, medication, special routines, or additional care. I understand how important it is to make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away I work from home, which gives me the flexibility to structure my day around whatever needs my attention. I can do mornings, afternoons, and evenings. My pets are family to me, so I understand how important it is to know they’re in loving, attentive hands. I would give your pets that same level of care and attention.
“Shelby was very respectful, kind and attentive! She was also very flexible with me which was so appreciated! She made sure to spend the full time with my kitty and gave her lots of attention! I received many update photos.”
“Keesha was so amazing! She checked in and gave a detailed update everyday. She even bought greg a new toy to play with <3 she met with me prior to meet greg and i could tell from her questions that she genuinely wanted to provide quality care for greg and im so thankful for that. she’s the best!!”
About: Animals have been a lifelong part of my life. I grew up around farm animals and have owned and cared for dogs ranging in size from a Toy Poodle to a Great Dane. I also raised a puppy through the Leader Dogs for the Blind puppy-raising program in Michigan and have experience training dogs in both obedience and agility. I previously worked as a veterinary assistant at two veterinary clinics, which gave me valuable hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats with a wide variety of personalities, ages and needs. I especially love learning about canine behavior and training and am always reading and continuing to learn. I’m currently working with my daughter as she learns about showing dogs with the goal of becoming an AKC Junior Handler. Most importantly, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. I’m attentive to each animal’s individual personality and routine, and I prioritize safety, communication and making pets feel comfortable while their people are away. I’m happy to provide photos and updates during every visit. I have a flexible daytime schedule that allows me to provide walks and drop-in visits throughout the week. I’m especially available during weekday mornings and afternoons, making me a great fit for pets who need a midday walk, potty break, meal, medication, playtime or companionship while their owners are at work or away. I also offer evening and weekend availability when my schedule allows and am happy to discuss recurring weekly care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my first priorities. I take time to learn each pet’s normal routine, temperament, handling preferences and any special instructions before providing care. During visits, I’m attentive to doors, gates, leashes and other potential safety concerns and will always follow your care instructions closely. My previous experience working as a veterinary assistant has made me particularly observant of changes in an animal’s behavior or well-being. I also understand the trust involved in allowing someone into your home and will treat your home, privacy and belongings with respect. I provide dependable communication and am happy to send photos and updates after each visit so you know how your pet is doing.
“Our two cats adored August, who treated them like family. August also went over and beyond to accommodate us while I had e-sim issues overseas. Our two “kids” were so very well cared for, were so very happy and grateful we found August who will for sure be our first go-to in the future. Thanks SO much!”
About: I’ve been taking care of all kinds of dogs since I was about 15 years old. I’m an Eagle Scout and my project for becoming Eagle was with Great Plains SPCA. I have a pretty flexible schedule, so feel free to reach out! I’m currently working and going to school part time so I have plenty of free time to spend with your furry friends, big or small. I treat your pet or pets like a member of the family with love, care, and enthusiasm. Same goes for your home, belongings, and community.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Roeland Park
Ron was absolutely wonderful with our senior dogs, Buddy and Darla! He took such great care of them over the weekend and made sure to give us updates and pictures. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands and being well cared for. We truly appreciate the love and attention he gave them and would highly recommend Ron to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter. We will definitely book with him again!
One word: incredible. From the moment I met Joann, I could tell she was a very genuine and caring person (& my dog could too)! Throughout the visit, I was updated with pictures & she handled my dog’s many needs with ease - bladder expression, mobility, wound care, etc. Highly, highly recommend!!
We had a great experience with Emily. She was very attentive, caring and sent pictures. I was pretty particular about who I trusted with Sol my French Bulldog, so finding her is a relief. Our dog seemed very happy and relaxed around her even at the very first visit. I will for sure use her again.
Chris was amazing and I was so happy my Katie girl did so great considering it was my first time using Rover! Chris made me feel so comfortable and sent the cutest photos of Katie and her bestie cats. I’m so pleased and can’t wait to have Chris again when I am needing help!

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Roeland Park is $17 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $12 and $19 per visit. 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.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 Roeland 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!
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 .
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.
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 .
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.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
