“Chandler did an awesome job with my boys (two cats). Prompt with the time requested for the drop ins and took a few pics which always makes me feel better about being away. She did everything I asked for, I’d definitely recommend her and will book her services again!!”

About: Grew up on a farm in West Texas where we raised and trained Brittany Spaniels as bird dogs. We have recently moved to the KC area. I have never not had a dog. We absolutely love all animals, but dogs just have a sweet spot in our hearts. We have a 7 year old Aussie who is as sweet as she can be. I work from home, and my job is very flexible. Therefore, I am available almost all the time to love and spoil your pups! We are available just about every weekend. I have a fenced backyard, and one friendly dog to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog if needed, or work with you on any other accommodations that your fur baby may need.
About: I love dogs and cats like they are my best friends because they are the most loving, loyal creatures I’ve ever met on this planet! They make me so happy always! I have an hour lunch during the week and weekends are usually free! If I commit to watching a dog/cat for several days in a row whether checking in or staying at their home, I make sure they are well taken care of cuz that’s really all that matters. They get all my love and attention! I have a pet friendly house but much rather take care of them at their own home as it’s likely more familiar/comfortable for them and convenient for the pet’s owner.

“Austin was great with our cats! Our cats usually don't like new people but they both took to Austin very quickly. He sent plenty of updates and pictures throughout the week and even cleaned up their hairballs/vomit when it occurred. Would recommend booking with Austin if you need someone great and trustworthy to watch your pets.”

“Erin was great! She responded right away when we were looking for someone to care for our cat, Max, over the holiday. We set up a meet & greet and she was very friendly and accommodating. This was our first time w/a Rover sitter. The evening she was scheduled, she arrived at the right time to feed Max & give his insulin. It was a good experience!”

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life, growing up on a farm where caring for them was just part of everyday life. From early mornings feeding animals to learning how to read their personalities and needs, I developed a lifelong comfort and love for all kinds of pets. About 10 years ago, I found my soul dog as a stray, and bringing her into my life only deepened my understanding of patience, trust-building, and the unique bond we share with our animals. These days, I’m often the go-to friend for dog sitting when people head out of town, whether that means overnight care, walks, playtime, or just making sure pups stick to their normal routine while their humans are away. I genuinely love dogs of all shapes, sizes, ages, and personalities, there truly isn’t a dog I don’t want to pet (with permission, of course). I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I aim to make both you and your dog feel comfortable, cared for, and at ease. Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine because I work from home alongside my senior dachshund, who keeps me on a pretty strict (and often demanding) schedule. I’m used to building my day around walks, feedings, and the occasional demand for attention. Because of that flexibility, I’m able to adjust my schedule easily and can often be available on short notice when needed. Whether it’s a planned trip or a last-minute change, I’m used to stepping in and making sure pets stay comfortable and cared for without disrupting their routine. I tailor my care based on each pet and the service needed, because every dog has their own routine, personality, and comfort level. In a client’s home, I do my best to keep things as familiar as possible, sticking to their normal schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and downtime. I’m mindful of their space and habits, and I make sure they feel safe and relaxed while you’re away. If I’m caring for pets in my home, they’ll be in a calm, comfortable environment with plenty of attention throughout the day. Since I work from home, I’m around to keep a close eye on them, give them regular potty breaks, and make sure they’re not left alone for long periods. I also have a fully fenced backyard with a privacy fence, so dogs can safely get fresh air and exercise. I also have a senior dachshund who is deeply committed to a lifestyle of sleep, food, and belly rubs. She’ll most likely acknowledge your dog’s existence once and then return to her regularly scheduled lounging, so it’s a good fit for pups who don’t need or want constant interaction with another dog. Whether it’s high-energy playtime, slow walks with a senior dog, or just hanging out with a more low-key pup, I adjust my approach to what they need. My goal is always the same: keep them happy, safe, and as stress-free as possible.
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.
About: Hello, I have several years experience with cats and dogs. I can feed them, take them out for a walk, clean litter boxes. I’d be more than happy to help you with your pet or pets. I’m available Sundays, Mondays, the rest of the week in the afternoon and evenings I’m currently off Sundays and Mondays, I work most days until 3 pm. I’m available Sundays after mass, Mondays, and the rest of the week after 3 pm I feed the cat and clean her litter box twice a day. I wash her food bowls and the blankets often as I can. She has lots of toys in the room to play with and a big container of cat treats.

About: I have always loved dogs and grew up with my own and truly enjoy taking care of them. I'm dependable, attentive, and experienced with petsitting, I will treat your animals like family. I work full time, but have a flexible enough schedule to care for your pets. I am very willing to negotiate a flexible schedule to meet you and your pets needs. I am free in the evenings and weekends! I would prefer staying at my clients home. I have found that this is easier for the pet to be comfortable in their own home and space.
“Maggie was amazing!! Very responsive, friendly, worked with us in our apartment (including navigating the app needed to get into the building, which did not want to work at times), and sent pics of Leo every day. Would absolutely rebook with Maggie and would recommend her to anyone in the area!”

“Megan was great! I would recommend her to anyone - she took great care of my cat while I was out of town and was kind & definitely made me feel comfortable leaving my pet in her hands!”

“I had a last minute trip come up and Emily was able to care for my kitty. My cat is not social but Emily takes such great care of her and always hangs out for the full time just in case my cat changes her mind and wants some pets. Emily also sends the best updates and photos each day:) She is professional and trustworthy and great communicator. I will definitely be seeking out her services again!!”

About: I have had a number of families count on me to take care of both their children and pets for over 20 years (including dogs, cats, birds, and fish). Recently, I've taken care of a few family members' senior dogs and cats so I am experienced with administering medications. In my own free time I love going for walks (as well as runs if your dog would like that). I am a flight instructor at one of the local airports which gives me a flexible schedule. There are also days when the weather isn’t “flight friendly” (hello spring!) which allows me to stop by and walk your dog/feed your pet. I show up when needed, talk to the pets, show them lots of love and attention, and take care of my responsibilities (feeding, letting outside, walking, medication etc). My main gig is flight instructing. Everything in flying has a checklist so you can count on me to follow any instructions you leave me.
About: I’ve had dogs for 10 years and regularly help friends and family with their fur babies. I am the first call when friends need their pet cared for. Mostly just love dogs and want them to be my best friend. I currently work part time and from home several days a week. Drop ins are easy and house stays can be planned easily and quickly! I want to make sure your pet never feels like they are left unloved or unsafe. I want to keep their comfort and routine so no one is worried!

“Susan is great. She’s very thorough in knowing all instructions for taking care of our Cats and our home. Very confident that our girls and our home will be well taken care of. Puts my mind at ease when going on a vacation. Our Cat’s are looking forward to Susan’s next visit.”

About: I understand that your pets are family. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I offer pet sitting, house sitting, dog walking, drop-in visits, feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, waste cleanup, playtime, companionship, medication administration (if needed), and lots of love and attention tailored to your pet’s routine. Whether you have energetic dogs, independent cats, or multiple pets, I’m committed to making them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own home. I’m reliable, trustworthy, and treat every home with the same respect I would my own. I believe in clear communication and will gladly provide updates and photos so you can see how your pets are doing while you’re away. Because I am a full-time online student, my schedule is incredibly flexible, allowing me to make pet sitting my top priority. Unlike a traditional 9-to-5 job where I would be away from the house all day, my school structure allows me to work entirely from home on my own terms. This means I have ample open blocks of time throughout the day dedicated solely to pet care. I can easily accommodate structured feeding times, frequent potty breaks, and mid-day play sessions without interruption. Your pets will receive consistent companionship, and because I'm studying from my laptop, I am available to provide the constant supervision, love, and attention they deserve." When caring for pets in your home, my primary goal is to maintain their regular routine so they feel safe and secure while you are away. Seamless Routine Adherence: I strictly follow your established feeding schedules, medication timelines, and specific instructions to keep their environment predictable and stress-free. Meticulous Cat Care: As a multi-cat owner myself, I know the importance of a clean environment. I scoop litter boxes thoroughly during every visit and sweep up any tracked litter. Quality Companionship: Because my full-time student schedule is so flexible, I don't just rush in and out. I dedicate genuine time to interactive playtime with their favorite toys, gentle grooming, or just quiet companionship on the couch while I study. Home Respect & Communication: I respect your space, leave it exactly as I found it, and provide you with detailed daily updates and plenty of photos so you never have to wonder how they are doing.

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.

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 .
