“Having you for an hour a day has been a godsend and let me get so much work done!!! The pups love you- god forbid anything happen to me parental rights go to you they don’t love anyone but me as much as they love you ! I kid. Or do I … 🤣”

About: I offer a fun but structured environment where your pet can feel like part of the family. I have lifelong experience with taking care of and training dogs of all different breeds and backgrounds. As a stay-at-home mom of two young kids and a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I am home mostly all day, and ready to cater to whatever schedule your pup might already be used to. When your pup is here, they will become part of the furry family. I will keep feeding, walks, and playtime consistent with their normal schedule so they feel comfortable and settled. Since I’m home most of the day, they get plenty of attention and play. Most importantly they aren’t left alone for long periods. We also have a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely run and play.
“I would definitely recommend Kirby to anyone to care for their fur babies! I have an anxious dog who tends to scare people and rarely likes anyone. Kirby definitely has a way with dogs. Milo warmed up to her faster than I’ve seen him warm up to anyone. Literally within minutes he was relaxed when she came for the meet and greet. She kindly took on sitting for my dogs last minute and gave me consistent updates with photos! It was wonderful to find someone I can trust to sit with my dogs and love on them just as much as I do. For once, I didn’t worry one bit while I was out.”
“Lindsey was so great! This was our first time booking Lindsey and she was so professional, caring towards our dog, and so patient with her puppy tendencies. Look forward to working with Lindsey again soon!”
“Emily went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable since we are new to having a dog walker. Emily’s updates and pictures were fantastic. Cyrus loved her snuggles and pets! He was nice and tired after a 2 mile walk.”
About: I have had a cats, dogs, bunnies, Ginny pigs most of my life. I also foster kittens, puppies and geriatric pets. I can provide meds and light grooming. I am working part time for temporary postings so working for Rover allows me the freedom to make money doing something I love, cherishing your pet. I am able to watch your beloved fur baby in its home environment or take them for walks/play time. All on your terms, and rules.
About: I have taken care of dogs since i was in high school and have a passion for animals. I have had dogs stay with me and also have just walked dogs when needed. I am open to helping in anyway i can! Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, active, and loved. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide regular walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I also make time for updates and communication with pet parents so they feel comfortable while they’re away. Caring for pets is something I enjoy as part of my everyday life, not just a side task. I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where pets can feel relaxed and at home. I follow each pet’s regular routine for feeding, walks, playtime, medication, and rest so they stay comfortable while away from their owners. Pets receive plenty of attention, affection, and supervision throughout the day, and I make sure they get regular potty breaks and exercise. I also keep pet parents updated with photos and messages so they know their pets are happy and well cared for.
About: I've had a dog ever since I was a child and I married into a cat-loving family so I have experience and love for both pets! I love being outdoors and active as I'm an avid runner in my free time. Walking pets outside is the best of both worlds! Midwest weather also makes chilling with them inside just as fun from time to time haha. I'm a flexible caregiver and my main goal is customer satisfaction. Reach out with any questions you may have for me before booking! I work full-time in a hybrid role from 8-5 and can take an hour lunch at any time. I'm consistently free mornings, evenings, and weekends. I'll always do my best to find a time that works for you! Respecting your home and leaving it just as good as you left it is something I pride myself in. Don't be afraid to ask me to complete any duties to clean up after your pet in addition to taking care of it.

“Lilli absolutely wonderful! I book with her pretty much weekly and she is very flexible and communicative when days do/ don’t work! I can tell Archie is well taken care of when she comes to walk him!”
About: Hi, I’m Victoria! Dogs are my passion. I have worked at two prominent doggy daycares in the Kansas City area and I have a background in rescue and fostering! I am experienced with wide variety of dogs and situations, including dogs with aggression! While your pet is my care, safety will be my top priority.

“Sarah is always so great with my dog and he loves going on walks with her! She is so quick to respond to messages and really flexible with my hectic schedule! Would definitely recommend her working with any and all dogs :)”
About: I grew up with all different sizes of dogs with different needs. I loved getting to know the pups and seeing what made each one unique. Im currently working part-time so my schedule is very open currently. The pet care would be the main priority of my days scheduled. The schedule would include feedings, walks, bathroom breaks, play time, and relaxing. I have a patio area connected to my home. I also have ample space to take long walks, as well as a park close by. I also am able to handle walking any size dog as I have experience walking all different shapes and sizes!

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking 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 Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Shawnee Mission. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Shawnee Mission.

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 walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Shawnee Mission. On Rover:
- 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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 walker.
