About: I am a third year veterinary student in KC for the summer at an internship! I have worked as a Veterinary Assistant for 6 years now and have gained experience in handling and working with all breeds and sizes of dogs, as well as cats. I have also been petsitting for family friends for 5 years and have plenty of experience making pets feels comfortable while their owner is away. I am comfortable handling any dog or cat, with anything from giving medications to your senior pup to walks and exercise for the more energetic ones! I’m currently working full-time during the week with some evening hours available. I am also typically available all day during the weekend and on most holidays. As I am currently renting, I am not able to care for pets in my own home. However, I am more than willing to travel and take care of your fur-baby in the comfort of their own home! I have been trained on how to handle all types of animals with care and respect towards them, and would feel comfortable assisting with any training you are working with them on. Most of all, I absolutely love to hang out with any animal and would be honored to care for your fur baby!

About: Hi, we are Scott and Jenn. We are experienced dog people, but we don't have a dog right now, so we are available to give your pup(s) our undivided attention. Dogs have been a central part of both our lives from growing up with dog "siblings" to fostering and adopting dogs of various breeds, ages and temperaments. Big and small, from high-energy young pups to sweet old seniors. After our Doberman passed in 2022, we made the difficult decision not to get another dog right away. Since Scott retired, we spend about six months a year traveling in our RV to visit family across the country. It has been a truly wonderful experience; however, life without dogs isn't right! Rover offers the perfect opportunity for us to enjoy spending time with dogs, while providing you peace of mind and your pets all the love and attention they deserve! My work is flexible and often portable, so I can be available just about any time. If I get your request before I go to bed, I can be at your home by 10am the next day. We treat dogs like family. A friend once told us “If reincarnation is real, I want to come back as one of your dogs”. We spend lots of time doing enrichment activities with the dog we sit for. We also really enjoy walking, so we would absolutely love to take your dog for long walks!

“Ava was flexible, punctual, and thorough. She was polite and helpful! Would request her help again.”


“Olesya did such a wonderful job with my kit cat Jackie while I was on a week long vacation! Jackie is usually pretty skittish around new people but took to Olesya right away! I would definitely recommend her to care for your pets!”


“Ella dropped in on my two cats for a week while I was out of town. She sent lots of photos and updates at the same time each day, just like we had discussed during our meet & greet. One of my cats is hesitant with strangers, but Ella was able to bond with him and get him to come out of his hiding spot. She was even kind enough to put a scoop of kibble outside each day for a stray cat who has been hanging around my house. It’s pretty obvious that Ella is an animal lover, and I’ll be happy to hire her again in the future.”

“Great communication and Cassandra was great with our cats.”


About: Hello! We’re Denise and Jeff. Lifelong dog lovers, we’ve shared our home with three wonderful dachshunds over the years, raising them from playful puppies to their golden years. After saying goodbye to our third pup due to old age, we found ourselves as pet “empty-nesters” — and that’s when we decided to become Rover sitters. We know firsthand how tough it can be to find a trustworthy pet sitter — someone who truly understands how important it is to feel confident and at ease while you’re away Let your dog stay in a calm, cozy and loving home located in Brookside. We offer personalized care with plenty of playtime, snuggles and attention. Let your dog stay in a place that feels like home We are retired; therefore, am home all the time. I am early riser, love to take walks and miss having a dog to tag along on those walks We have a fenced yard. We spend a lot of time on the back patio. We will love your fur baby like they are our own. I had 3 dachshunds 2 of which had special needs. I am adaptable to your pet's needs.

“Kadyn was amazing, she had very detailed reports and lots of photos. I can tell that my pup enjoyed her visits. I will hire her again if I need more pet sitting.”

Taryn did a great job! She was very responsive and kept us informed about our dog and cat during our vacation. She even added additional visits last minute when our son's work schedule changed and he would not be able to take care of our pets in the evening.

I cannot say enough good things, she really came through in a pinch due to my work hours and takes such good care of my guys!

Michaela was great! One of our kitties can be a bit wary and antisocial, and the other can be ultra needy, but both seem to love Michaela! Thankful that there's someone so nice and knowledgeable available to keep our guys happy and fed

Chandler was so awesome and phenomenally sweet! she was attentive and communicative and on top of daily updates and pictures! we will for sure be using Chandler in the future to watch our 2 cats. this is the happiest and most stress free we’ve ever seen our cats after a trip away. We’re pretty sure the cats were disappointed to see it was us walking through the door and not Chandler :)

Nicole is so patient with my fur monsters. They like her so much. I love our pre-trip meets she's such a sweetheart. She also sends the best pictures.

Caitlin was a wonderful pet-sitter and I would use her again for sure. She was lovely with my cat, gave him lots of attention and made sure he had what he needed, and I loved the picture updates. Great communication and response times, and very accommodating regarding key exchange.

Vanessa was wonderful with our cat. We haven't felt comfortable leaving him in a while but we felt comfortable with Vanessa and we were able to take a short trip, knowing he was in good hands. Her communication was great and I would definitely use her again. 🐾

Sophie was wonderful! This was my first time leaving my two cats alone while I went on a family vacation and she made me feel so comfortable leaving them in her care. She played with them, made sure to follow feeding and care instructions and sent plenty of updates and photos. I came home to a clean place and two happy kitties. Can’t compliment her enough!

We love Jordan! She’s great with our boxers - I always have peace of mind when I know she’s caring for Millie and Milo!

Jill did so wonderful taking care of our sweet boy Tom!! Tom loved the attention and the love. Jill was consistent and super reliable and kind. Thank you for everything Jill!

Erin was great with our pets! Very professional and personable. The animals clearly liked her and she followed all instructions perfectly. Great communication too.. ! Thanks so much Erin.

I’m so grateful for how reliable and flexible Allison is! Even after a few communication SNAFUs on my end, she takes great care of Bernard

Carmen and Katie were amazing! They were always on time and sent us lots of (happy) pictures of our furbaby. Ping-Pong is elderly and needs meds twice a day. All meds were dispensed as directed and cuddles were given liberally. We will use them again and I highly recommend them! I guarantee you and your furbabies will not be disappointed!
