“Valerie was great with Decker while we were away on vacation. I appreciated her daily updates and pics. It was clear from the meet & greet that Decker liked Valerie and her pics confirmed he was more than comfortable with her and appreciated her belly rubs. Would definitely recommend Valerie!!”
“Amelia is great. I trust her with my kitties and home. I would have her back next! She made time to come meet the cats and see the home which made the process even smoother.”
“This is the second time Jeffrey has done drop-ins for our cat Pickles. He is an amazing sitter, provides lots of feedback, photos and was even thoughtful enough to consider whether the cat's dispenser was working correctly when she was meow-crying a lot. Great experience! 10/5!”
“Joann has checked on my kitties multiple times now and I highly recommend her care! She is patient, attentive, and flexible—I never worry how things are going when we are away.”
“Lori did a great job watching our cat for an extended stay! She's very shy but Lori was able to get her to warm up to her after a few days. The apartment was in great condition as well.”
“Marlee is AMAZING! This was my first time using Rover and she eased my mind completely while being out of the country. She sent me adorable photos every day and let me know how much Mittens enjoyed her company!! She went above and behind and I am so grateful for her!”
About: I have grown up with many animals such as dogs, cats, and horses. Taking care of these pets has led to my passion and love of all animals. As a student who now lives in an apartment, I want to be able to share my love for animals while helping others out, exercising, clearing my mind from my studies, and loving on pets. I am in occupational therapy school throughout the week. So I have a lot of free time when I am not in class, and my schedule may vary. I love exercising and want to be able to give your pet more exercise as well. I have a lot of experience walking and running throughout Kansas City and am well aware of the environment and safety. I want to be able to incorporate this while helping you care for your animal.
“Did a great job! Delaney made sure to find my elderly cat when he would come over, as she isn’t as social as my younger cat. He did a good job of coming over and feeding them both and cleaning up after them. Even played with them! Overall a success!”
About: I have watched over dogs for the past few years for friends and family as well as my own pup who is 5 years old! I am currently searching for work in the Merriam area and looking for extra income. I work from home a few days a week and I am available most weekends. I treat animals like my own. I like to make sure they get enough water and exercise just as I would do for my own dog.
“Finding Rover and trusting Hannah was easy. We booked last night. Hannah met us here promptly at 7am, provided pics and videos throughout the day, kept me posted and returned our cats this evening. 10/10 I'll book with Hannah again. She provided exactly everything we needed without fail and made it such a smooth process. 5 stars.”
