“Stephanie is a great communicator and very patient with all of our concerns for her first visit with her. Frankie had a great day and came home happy and tired from the day of play (that she loves). We are so glad to have found Stephanie and appreciate her beautiful attitude!”
“Anna and her team did such an amazing job taking care of our furbaby! They were super easy to communicate with and we’re always willing to provide updates with pictures included about our pups. They provided the best of care for our pup and had an array of places for him (fenced in) for him to run like crazy! They even have a designated dog area in their home! I was so happy that my dog (who normally is never relaxed when he’s away) was actually able to lay down and sleep! Truly amazing work and I’m so excited for our next booking!”
About: I have always a dog of my own since I was a kid. And I am that friend/family member every one leaves their dog with when they travel. I can do doggy daycare, boarding, and drop in. For puppies under 2 years I prefer they sleep in a crate for overnight. Send me any questions you may have. I work at home, so I am always here. You can send me any questions you may have. Your fur baby will have plenty of attention! I have a fenced yard, and a friendly dog. Your fur baby will have fun, get fresh air and exercise, and indoor play as well. I really like to do a meet and greet before hand to make sure to be a good fit for your dog.
“Ashlyn was amazing! She has a beautiful home in a beautiful neighborhood that’s close to downtown KC and amazing parks, it was very convenient to drop Snowy off every day while I played in a tennis tournament. She sent photo’s every day, I’ll absolutely book with her again if I’m in town.”
“Victoria was absolutely incredible with my puppy. She sent me photo updates throughout the day and gave him plenty of attention. He was so worn out after his day at Victoria’s he was asleep before we got out of the neighborhood. Will definitely be booking with her again!”
About: I've been fostering the last few years and have experience with all sizes and types of dogs. I'm great with puppies and provide a calm routine. I work from home and as a rule don't leave my dog home alone for more than 4 hours when I do go out. My partner and I have a good routine of taking our dog Charlie out to play in the morning and evening in the back yard. I'm around all day for potty breaks. I have a fenced in yard and a very calm home environment. I have a 35 lb dog, Charlie who sleeps all day while I work. We live in a quiet neighborhood that's great for walks.
About: I’ve taken care of my dogs since I was a teenager! I usually take care of friend’s and family’s dogs as well. Dogs are usually pretty easy going to get along. I work remotely and have plenty time to stay with the animals. I also spend my night at home home. Half of the week I have my 6 year daughter with me. I live in an apartment. I don’t have I backyard but I we have a big green are so the dogs can walk and play.
About: I have had both dogs, cats, and even reptiles. Of all ages and sizes. I have watched others pets while they went on vacation. I can provide pretty much all care you require. I work from home so I will be there to care for your pets all day. If I have to run out for an errand my fiancé will be home so your pet will almost always have someone with them. I am willing to let dogs out as much as they need, play with them in our back yard, take walks, and snuggle them at night if your pet desires. We have our own dog who likes all of these things as well.
“I can't thank Griffin enough for taking care of my dog on such short notice. They were incredibly accommodating and provided excellent care. Highly recommended!"”
“Maggie our Golden Doodle had a great time with Christine. We were passing through KC and wanted to go to a baseball game but needed a place for Maggie. Christine was able accommodate a few hours at the last minute. We all had a great day!”
“My pup Addie went to Kelly's home for a doggy day care. Kelly immediately made her feel right at home. Kelly & her husband took extra time and care playing a lot with Addie and lots of cuddles and also took extra precaution as it was so hot outside. Addie is looking forward to the next 6 days with Kelly. I was updated with pics and could see how much fun Addie was having. We are leaving our pup in great hands. Mary Ann A”
About: About Me: Hi, I’m Andi! My goal is simple: to be your pup’s second best friend and to give you absolute peace of mind while you are away. As someone who has personally raised and loved four dogs of my own, I know firsthand that pets aren't just animals - they are family. I understand how tough it can be to leave them behind, which is why I treat your pet's routine, comfort, and safety with the highest level of care and respect. When I’m watching your dog, keeping their regular routine is my focus. Whether they have a strict feeding schedule, specific potty and playtime breaks, or just do best in a calm predictable environment, I make sure everything goes smoothly. You can travel guilt-free knowing they are happy, safe, and sticking to their normal routines. Because I work from home most days, I am nearby to ensure your pup has consistent companionship and care. My workday structure allows me the flexibility to step away and manage whatever your dog needs, keeping their daily routines seamless. Mornings: The day starts with a timely potty break, breakfast and fresh water, with some morning companionship before I focus on work. Mid-Day: I am easily able to take breaks for mid-day potty runs, quick playtime stretches, or a walk. Your pup will have a buddy nearby throughout the day to ensure they feel safe and secure. Evenings & Nights: Dinner is served right on time, followed by an evening with walks, playtime, and cuddles. Before bed we'll do one last potty break and settle into a calm, relaxed environment. A Quick Note on Schedule Variations: While I am home most of the week, I do work from the office on Wednesdays from 7:00 AM to 2:30 PM. I always make sure dogs get a great morning routine and potty break before I head out, and I am right back in the afternoon for their next break. Additionally, I occasionally work a second job on weekends. If a stay falls over a weekend, there may be stretches where the pups are left alone, but they will always be safely settled and completely taken care of before and after! Because I view your dog as family, their safety and your peace of mind are my top priorities. Having raised four dogs of my own, I know how to spot potential hazards and maintain a secure, low-stress environment. I only host or sit for one family's pet(s) at a time. Your dog will never have to compete with unfamiliar dogs for attention, and you don't have to worry about the unpredictable behavior of other people's pets. They get my full focus. I am incredibly mindful of open doors, gates, and secure leash attachments. I keep a tidy, dog-friendly space so your pup can lounge, explore, and enjoy a truly relaxed environment. Trust starts before the stay even begins. I never skip a Meet-and-Greet because I want to learn your dog's unique quirks, what makes them nervous, and exactly how they behave in different situations. If anything ever seems off—whether it's a change in their usual energy, appetite, or bathroom habits—you will be notified immediately. I treat your pup with the same watchful eye and care I gave my own.

“This review is slightly overdue but Megan is amazing! She has been working with my puppy for a few months now, letting him spend the day with her. She is great with dogs, spends time teaching him commands, helped with potty training, the works! I cannot recommend her enough to someone looking for a new rover to care for your pup.”

About: Hi! I’ve been a dog sitter since 2009, and I truly love what I do. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and personalities — including seniors, diabetics, and blind pups who need a little extra attention. Every dog has their own unique needs, and I take pride in making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. Back to business! I work remotely, so my schedule is nice and flexible. I always enjoy having a part-time job caring for dogs — it’s something I truly love! I take care of each pet as if they were my own. At my home, I offer a warm and safe place with lots of love and playtime. In the client’s home, I keep their pets’ routine the same, making sure they are fed, walked, and cared for just the way the owner prefers.
“This is the 2nd time I’ve used Iryna and her and Ava are officially besties! 👯♀️ She has been so patient with my old girl and gained her trust and now she gets excited to see her. Being from out of town my girl just had a lot of change in a short period of time and Iryna took her time and worked with her to build that bond! I will be making her my regular dog sitter for sure.”

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Shawnee commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in KS ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 751 sitters in Shawnee, 86% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
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.
