“Jeffrey was great. He left very thorough notes every day that he was here and sent lots of good pictures of our cats every day, too. We'd definitely have him back again.”
“Alison was wonderful with our two kitties! She took great care of them and clearly enjoyed giving them lots of attention, pets, and snuggles. Graham, who usually hides from new people, warmed up to her very quickly. Loved getting her updates and pictures. Knowing they were in such great hands allowed us to really enjoy our trip. Highly recommend Alison as your go-to pet sitter!”
“August dropped in on our cats while we were away and we are so thankful for their help! They did an excellent job making sure our cats were well taken care of and got the meds they needed. We will definitely be using August in the future!”
About: “I have cared for dogs and cats of all kinds since I was 10 years old. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, and care for their pets, including puppies, seniors, and special needs animals I have a flexible schedule and am available every day, including weekends. I can adapt to morning, afternoon, or evening routines, depending on your needs. I will care for the pet in my home, take them on responsible walks, with respect, and always make sure they are safe and well cared for
“Debbie offered a meet and greet and prompt every visit to check in on my kitten. She took pictures and updated me, following every direction (mostly just play play play). Would have her back again!”
“Lindsey did a great job with my kitties! She always sent pictures and provided an update on how they were doing, as well as what she was doing during her visits. Will definitely use her again next time I need a sitter!”
“Valerie took great care of my kitties while out of town! She was very responsive and communicative. She made sure to keep them comfortable and feeling loved. She was able to administer medication for one of my cats as well.”
“As always Beth is a trusted professional. My cat is always well cared for while I’m away. We both appreciate the updates and companionship Beth brings to the table! She’s a rockstar!!”
“Lisa took great care of my dog during drop-ins and was so easy to work with throughout the process. I feel better leaving knowing my dog is in good hands and would book again!”
About: I grew up with dogs and all of my kids have dogs, so not only am I a grandpa, I was a dog grandpa first! I also sit and love cats. They always find me. Had four dogs in my house for many times watching when my kids traveled, but now they moved so I have more time to get my fur feed. I take walks and would love to walk your pups but also can follow your guidelines doing the best to keep their routine. I work from home but occasionally have appointments outside of the home, so I am very available to work with your schedule. I will share my schedule with you when booking. I have a fenced yard and a great neighborhood for walking. Friendly home environment with access to fresh food/water and sunshine. Your dog/cat will be well-loved.
About: I’ve experience with dogs of all ages and sizes!!!! I’ll love them like my own!!!! Whether energetic or lazy, I am happy to take excellent care of them. I do have a full time job Monday thru Friday but am available almost every single weekend. If you need a weekend away I am happy to take care of your pooch! I love taking walks and playtime inside or outside with your 4 legged loved one! I am experienced in giving medicine for pets that need it too.
“I have used Jennifer before any every time she is so great! She snuggles and plays with Poppy and even wipes down her paws when they are dirty! She takes lots of pictures and provides updates and has great communication. Thank you for being so great Jennifer!”
Shawnee Mission cat parents share their Rover experiences
Valerie was a caring and conscientious sitter for our two cats, one of which needed insulin shots twice a day. We appreciated her prompt communication and there were no issues or problems while my family and I were away on an extended vacation. If you want somebody reliable and responsible, I highly recommend Valerie.
Hannah did an excellent job in caring for my cat & the outside ferals that show up @ feeding time. Hannah communicated & kept things seamlessly going while I was away. She is a wonderful, caring person that I am fortunate to have taking care of the kitties and have already booked her for another visit!
