“Erica took great care of our dog while we were away. She was communicative and sent daily updates with pictures and videos. We will definitely book her again!”
“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!”
“Stepanie was WONDERFUL! I usually worry when I'm away from my sweet girl, but I received lots of pictures and notes and could see she was in good hands! She is kind, responsible, and neat!”
“Tony is an amazing! He has cared so well for our 3 heathens including a wild puppy and a needy senior. He has done so with so much kindness and grace. He stays in our home and helps our pups stay in their own routine. He cares well for our home as well and leaves it cleaner than he found it. Tony is sincerely among the best. He is definitely our go to sitter.”
“Amina did a wonderful job with our dog and two cats. They needed to be rotated throughout the day because they can’t be in the same room together. I had no worries while I was gone, Amina communicated very well. And when I came home from my trip everybody was in good spirits and the house was clean.”
“Kelsey took wonderful care of our house and garden. She followed all our instructions conscientiously and even left us some gifts commemorating our dog Mr. Tigs who recently passed away. She's awesome!”
“My girls LOVED having Jennifer stay with them when we went away for the long Thanksgiving weekend. The baby of my pack is usually quite shy around new people but she instantly fell in love with Jennifer. She did great with all 4 of our furbabies ... from 15 lbs to 150 lbs and 6 months to 17 years.”
“Lily did an amazing job with my dog, Maverick. He was super anxious about the bad weather, and Lily was incredibly patient and understanding of his anxiety. She was very communicative, my place was well taken care of, and I came home to a happy dog. I would highly recommend booking Lily!”
“Haley was the best sitter we’ve ever had through Rover! She was extremely attentive and communicative. She sent daily pictures which was an added bonus! We came back to a clean home and happy fur babies. I love that Haley asked questions throughout her stay, it made me feel like she was giving them the best care possible. :) I will 100% use Haley moving forward if she’s available. Thank you!!”
“I can’t say enough about Susannah! This was the first time we’d left our 9 week old puppy and she made it so easy on us. Sent regular updates and the best pictures. Our puppy loves Susannah and we will have her back as much as we can!”
“Susan is always amazing with our fur baby! She gives us daily updates with pictures. Our doggie has a grass allergy and her paws gets red and sore from her licking them she asked about what to give her and even had have some suggestions for us. We have booked her several times and will continue to book her when needed!”
“Reese did an amazing job: first walking me through how to introduce her to my anxious big dog at our meet-n-greet and on the first day of the sit. She regularly sent a ton of pictures of my three pets throughout the weeklong stay, which increased my enjoyment of my time away. And even though she caught a really bad cold while sitting, she remained extremely communicative and committed to staying with my pets until the day I was due home, which I greatly appreciated. And I also appreciated her efforts to make sure my home was sanitized and cleaned before I returned.”
“Sophia was absolutely amazing. She responded immediately after every time I checked in. Took amazing care of all three of my pet pets. I came home to a happy house of fur and she left it clean as well I’m definitely going to use her again.”
“Evelyn was such a relief, and I mean that deep in my soul. She came into our lives at a moment when I was stressed, pressed, and worn thin by a variety of external issues. Pippa, my 7-month-old kitten, had not only never stayed with anyone (or anywhere else), he'd also never spent significant time with anyone but me. But Evie was patient, kind, and accommodating for both of us -- and eased my mind incredibly because I was fully confident in the safe and conscientious care that Pippa would have while I was away. Evie sent wonderful photos, videos, and reports of Pippa's health and happiness every day -- even allowing for a significant time/internet access difference on my end. And, Pippa loved Evie (to an almost (but not quite) envy-inducing level). I returned to a healthy, happy, and well-played-with cat; a neat and well-cared-for house; and a calm mind. I could ask for nothing more.”
“Maryn is amazing! She took great care of my boy while I was away for the week. I appreciated her updates and communication while I was away and will definitely reach out again for her services in the future.”
“Otto was amazing!! It seemed like Jordy had a blast while we were out of town for a wedding. Otto was extremely responsive and sent many pictures! He also left the house so clean and took out the garbage for us! Totally unexpected and so sweet. We can’t wait for Jordy to see his new friend, Otto again!”
“Wendy is the best dog sitter and I feel so lucky to have found her! The dogs loved that she played with them so much and gave them lots of attention and we loved getting lots of photos and updates. Our dogs are big and loud so I get anxious about having someone new come over but it was no problem for her. She left our house clean and our dogs happy. She’s the first sitter we’ve had that reached out to me ahead of our trip to confirm the stay. We will be using Wendy’s service for all our trips going forward.”
“Lauren was hands down the most thorough, thoughtful, caring pet sitter we’ve ever had! Our senior doggy requires multiple medications and Lauren stepped right in and handled everything expertly. We were able to enjoy our trip without worry thanks to multiple updates and photos Lauren shared. She went over and beyond caring for our beloved pet and our home too.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Roeland Park is $45
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Roeland Park
My highly anxious and fearful dog has some pretty rough "quirks" - It's hard to find a sitter who fits well with her personality. Kirsten was very thoughtful, clearly experienced, and followed my guidance to a T. I felt very confident leaving my dog with her and would happily rebook.
Sofia did great staying the weekend with our dog. Our dog can be nervous without us but I believe Sofia did her best to keep him happy and comfortable. She treated our home with respect as everything was perfect when we returned. We're booking her again with no worries :)
Patricia was communicative, timely, and sweet with our pup. She took him on daily walks and gave him a lot of attention. We appreciated the photo updates she also sent each day. She did a fantastic job and we trusted Ollie (and our home!) in her hands. We will utilize her again!
Wonderful sitter! She was warm, detail-oriented, and immediately became best friends with our dog. She kept me updated with photos throughout the visit, which I really appreciated. Her experience caring for dogs needing extra care gave me great peace of mind, and I would absolutely trust her with dog again!
Courtney and Sara are so awesome. They always treat our house like it is theirs and our pups absolutely adore them. This time it happened to be our bulldog Tilly's birthday while we were gone and they threw her a party complete with a hat, cake, and lots of pics. They are the best!

FAQs for House Sitting - Roeland Park
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Roeland Park on Rover is $29.96 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 1,674 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Roeland Park. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Roeland Park 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 Roeland Park 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.
Tip: 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 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!
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.
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 .
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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Roeland Park. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
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.
