“Susan went above and beyond in every way to care for our little guy. She was incredibly responsible, detail-oriented and loving to our little guy. We are very grateful!”
“Lindsay was very quick to respond to any communication I sent. She also left our house clean, even after several rainy days which I knew the dogs would have tracked in dirty paws. I’ll definitely use her again.”
“Erin was wonderful. She went above and beyond in every way, kept us informed, and took great care of the house. Our puppy was 6 months at the time of the vacation, and Erin did great with all of them. I am sure they will all be so happy to see her again!”
“Matti was great with both our dogs who are complete opposites. We have a high energy young 65 lb lab mix and a timid 13 yr old 8 lb chihuahua. They both got the specific attention they need and we got cute updates. We'll be rebooking with her!”
“Samantha was the ideal pet sitter for our 2 dogs! Great communication from start and finish and kept us in the loop about the dogs while we were gone. Would highly recommend for anyone needing reliable pet support”
About: Hi, my name is Kathleen, and I am an experienced pet care handler. I have cared for dogs and cats of all various sizes and behaviors. A few examples of dogs I've worked with are corgis, pitbulls, and great pyrenees. I can handle most breeds and have worked with shy dogs, protective dogs, and highly energetic dogs. For the last 3 years, I have also volunteered as a dog walker for an animal shelter. I feel comfortable around most types of dogs and cats, and I would love to give them the best care possible while you’re away! I currently have 2 cats of my own while living in KC for Grad school. I am mature, energetic, reliable, dependable, and, most importantly, sensitive to the unique needs of our furry babies. I'm currently in grad school and looking to fit this into my schedule. I'm available most mornings, 6 am to 8 am, and in the afternoon, after 4:30 pm for dog walking. I do have lunch breaks where I can do a drop-in and check on your furry baby. I am available weekends for walking, drop-in, or house sitting. I want to assure animals in my care will feel comfortable, loved, and safe. During visits and/or walks, I will always have my attention focused on your pet and will immediately remove them from any dangerous situation right away. I want them to be happy going on walks and getting to spend time out in nature.
“This is our first time having Amina stay with our dog and two cats. She came over to meet all of us and learn a bit about the pets and our house weeks before our five day trip. Amina was calm, patient and sweet with our pets. We had great communication before, during and after our trip with pictures and updates. All the pets were happy and healthy upon our return and I swear our house was cleaner than when we left! We will definitely reach out the next time we need a sitter!”
“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!”
“Lauren was amazing. Our sweet kitty wasn’t well and stressed about us leaving and Lauren did everything possible to make sure she was ok. She demonstrated care and concern at every step. She kept us in the loop through detailed updates and pics. Our dog had a little issue just hours before she was to leave and she stayed and made sure he was ok before leaving. Besides the pets, Lauren took care of our plants and packages delivered. She took out the trash without us asking and offered to check the mailbox. She went above and beyond and we are so grateful. We hope to have her take care of our fur babes in the near future.”
“We have had Randy watch our puppy a few times now and we love him! He met her before their first sleepover and was very thorough with her intake so he knows all about her needs and our home. He also recommended we make a sitter cheat sheet which we have done and love, especially since she's a growing puppy and things are often changing. He always brings her a new little toy which she will proudly carry around and speak for days. He plays with her, walks her, loves on her, and let's her bask in the sunshine as much as her heart desires. He also fills out our dog log so we can keep track of all her activites and sends lots of photos so we don't miss her too much. We highly recommend Randy!”
“Once again, Lilli was amazing! We had a family emergency and Lilli went above and beyond to help us out. Our pups are always taken care of and we never have to worry when Lilli is with them. I cannot sing her praises enough.”
“Tabitha was really good with Ace, and was reliable. It was raining a lot so she had her work cut out with timing potty breaks, but I know Ace enjoyed having her here at night. I would definitively use Tabitha again!”
“Jenni was outstanding! She was great to communicate with, went above and beyond in taking care of the house, and most importantly, the animals really felt safe with her. We will absolutely be requesting her services again.”
“Shanna was wonderful! Kelce was in such good hands. I received daily text messages and pictures to keep us updated. I loved her energy and care with our dog while we were out of town! Highly recommend!”
“Haley is so great with our dogs and treats them like family! She was super responsive and provided pictures throughout her stay in our home. Haley is my #1 choice when choosing someone to watch our dogs. She attends to all of our crazy pups needs by taking them on walks, to our dog park or snuggling on a calm day!”
“Jenna was great. Super communicative, very attentive during the meet and greet, and sent regular updates for both my pets. I would definitely have her house sit again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Shawnee
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!
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 :)
Casey was fantastic! He took care of our two dogs for an extended period of time and was very communicative. One of our dogs can be very anxious while our other dog is high energy and relatively new to our household so we didn't know how they'd do. Before our trip, he took the time to meet us and our dogs so he could learn more about them and become a familiar face. From the beginning, it was clear that Casey's kind and inquisitive demeanor was exactly what our dogs would need while we were away. During our travel, Casey was quick to reach out with any questions and even sent photos of the dogs each day! When our return home was unfortunately delayed for another night, Casey didn't hesitate to extend our booking. Highly recommend!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Shawnee on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 1,653 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Shawnee. 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 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.
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 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 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.

- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
