“Erin stayed with our two cats would could not be around each other. She kept them separate, happy and safe! Our house was spotless and I had great peace of mind knowing she was keeping an eye on things! Highly recommend! We will be using her again!”
“Bridget was very communicative the whole time we were gone and gave updates and sent pictures. She worked great with both dogs and their specific needs throughout the weekend. She gave our older dog all the meds she needed and worked with our other anxious dog to make sure he was calm and relaxed. She’s very knowledgeable about dogs.”
“Casey did a wonderful job watching Bella and Brutus. He had great communication and when we got back home the dogs were so happy. He also stayed at our house and it looked great when we got home. I would recommend him for your dog/house sitting needs.”
“Maryn provided exceptional dog/house sitting services. She made sure my dog was attended to as requested, provided walks, kept the house tidy, and provided me with regular updates on my dog. This was my first time using Rover and she made the process seamless and worry free.”
“Katie is our number one, go-to dog sitter. She sends pic updates while we’re away, is very responsive to messages, and our pup loves hanging out with her. Highly recommend!”
“Chris was fantastic and highly recomend her! Our 6 month old pup scratched her eye the day before we left for vacation and we originally planned to board her, so we scrambled and found Chris the day before we left. She took excellent care of her, administered meds 3x per day, kept her in her cone, etc. Also was fantastic with communication too. We will absolutely use her in the future.”
“Sharon was absolutely phenomenal! She took such good care of our dog and paid close attention to his needs with medication and food. I loved getting all of the pictures showing how comfortable he was when we weren't there! We will definitely be using Sharon again!”
“Susan house sat our Labradors, Maddie and Piper for the first time. We are beyond pleased with the exceptional quality of attention and care she provided. Susan was always on-time, professional, friendly, and showed she cared about our dogs. She didn’t hesitate to ask questions or provide updates. Both dogs took to her immediately and she treated them like her own. The house was absolutely spotless when we returned. We will definitely be asking her to house sit again in the future!!”
About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was about 10. Through family, friends, neighbors, and coworkers. All pets I’ve had had been extremely well trained and behaved. I take care of them as if they’re my kids I’m currently working full time but get off early in evenings. I am available all day during the weekends so spending time with your fur baby(ies) won’t be a problem I can crate your dog if trained. My yard is not fenced but I do have a ton of trails near my house and am close to Shawnee mission park. Would likely keep your dog at your home so it’s more comfortable and come take care of it there!
“Kayla was a phenomena sitter!! We needed a sitter for our dog a little last minute and I am thrilled we found Kayla. Kayla was very responsive and communicated well. She sent us updates on our dog throughout the weekend and our home was exactly as we had left it. Even our next door neighbor complimented on her friendliness! I would highly recommend Kayla as a sitter and will definitely reach out to her for our future sitting needs.”
“Katy was exceptional with our anxious boys. It's such a relief to know we have a fantastic person to watch our dogs and house! The pics showed they were happy and having a blast. It means the world to us to know they are in such great hands with Katy. Thank you so very much!!!”
“Angela was amazing! She took great care of our dog, three cats and chickens. We are always nervous to leave our little family behind when we travel, but Angela was very responsive and we knew they were safe and in good hands. We'll be going to Angela for help whenever we can. We cannot recommend her enough!”
“Susan was great!! This was our first time going out of town and leaving our 8 month old puppy at home. I think our pup had the time of his life, she spoiled him! Lots of play time, treats, and snuggles. Susan sent me lots of pictures daily and kept us updated. We came home to a happy puppy and clean house. Perfect!”
“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.”
“Linda is the best. She was great with Biggie. She kept up his routine and allowed all of us to rest easy. We received daily updates and pictures and he was mostly snoozing - so we know he was resting easy.”
“Reece watched Finn while we were on our honeymoon and was amazing with him! She sent updates with photos twice a day like we had asked and he always looked so happy! He is on crate rest for a leg injury and she took extra care of him!”

Erin took such great care of our home and family. She sent us regular updates and photos of our three pugs and cat, as well as gave great feedback on their activities while we were away. We are so grateful to Erin and her willingness to stay at our home and take care of our family while we were away and we sure hope we can count on her again in the future!
This is the first time I’ve needed someone to stay with my two goofball dogs for an extended time. In short, Kelly did a great job and I needn’t have worried in the slightest! Clearly a lover of dogs, her regular text updates and photos further reassured me that all was well at home. So yes, I highly recommend Kelly!
Hayley was great, she did everything we asked for. We left a lot of instructions and she followed them very well, left the house super clean, and most importantly took great care of our dogs and kept us up-to-date. I would recommend her and plan on having her house sit and dog sit again.
Mikayla was very sweet and seemed very happy to watch Charlie! She only watched Charlie this time but got to meet Zeus and Zeus absolutely LOVED her. I always say a dog can tell when someone is a good person and she was very kind. I will be booking with her again.
I really can’t say enough great things about Maddie. She’s the first pet sitter we’ve ever hired and I immediately felt good vibes from her and felt I could trust her with my babies. She sent me pictures and updates and even drew a beautiful pictures of my Birdie Girl 🩷 My house was clean when we came home and nothing was out of place. I recommend her 100% and I hope to have her watch my babies again!
Sarah was AMAZING! She took excellent care of the dogs and loved them and was in contact with us daily with pictures and videos. She also left the house looking great, had food made for when we got home, and even had the dogs do an art project for us! We will be using her again!

The average cost of House Sitting in Shawnee is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $53 per night.

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 Shawnee 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 Shawnee 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Shawnee 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 , 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 .
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 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
