“This is my first time booking Christina and everything was great. She's a clear communicator and my very emotionally sensitive dog really seemed to like her. Christina will be the first person I go to the next time I need a pet sitter!”
“We had Andie house sit for us while we were out of town for a few days and I would highly recommend booking with her! She was very nice and easy to work with and our animals were well taken care of. The house was left in perfect shape and with happy animals!”
“OMG Tony is amazing! I wanted to leave a one star only so he's always available for us! He took on our 3 dogs like a champ. One puppy and one senior with mobility issues and meds. He ran in the back yard with the puppy and treated our senior like an absolute queen by catering to all her special needs. ! Not only were our dogs treated like royalty but our home was clean and he washed the bedding from his stay. He sent me so many pictures during our short time away. I could not recommend him more.”
“We couldn’t be happier with our experience! Abigail was dependable and timely, kept in great communication the entire time, and sent lots of sweet photos of our dog. It made being away so much easier. She also left our home incredibly tidy, which we truly appreciated. We will absolutely be booking her again!”
“Lindsey was absolutely fantastic! She stayed at our home while caring for our special needs dog and cat, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She was incredibly attentive, patient, and compassionate, giving us complete peace of mind while we were away. She sent thoughtful daily updates with photos, which made it so much easier being away from our pup. It was clear she genuinely cared and took the time to understand our dog’s unique needs and routine. When we returned, our house was spotless and exactly as we left it. Lindsey went above and beyond in every way, and we truly appreciated her professionalism, communication, and kindness. We have already booked Lindsey again without hesitation and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, reliable, and caring to watch their pets!”
“Elena was great with our Rosie. We felt safe the whole trip away and she communicated with us frequently. She fed her on time, walked her, and gave her treats on schedule. And she genuinely enjoyed the experience. Thank you!”
“Reese is great with our pup! She’s communicative and you can tell she has a genuine love and affection for animals. Our dog always looks very happy and well taken care of in her many and thorough updates. Highly recommend her for your pet needs!”
“Shiva was absolutely amazing!! He communicated everyday with pics and videos. He was so accommodating and pleasant. I’d definitely recommend him. Looking forward to future bookings!!”
“Chelsea was absolutely fantastic with our two pups! She was so sweet and attentive, always making sure to send us daily updates while we were away on vacation. Our dogs absolutely loved her, and it gave us such peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. I highly recommend her for any type of pet care!”
“Isabel is amazing! She was very communicative and loving with our pup! So very thankful that we have someone we can trust to stay in our home with our pup when we’re away! Thank you, Isabel! Can’t wait to have you over again!”
“Morgan was absolutely FANTASTIC! She kept us aware of how things were going and left our house exactly as it was when we left! I’d recommend her to anyone and will be using her again.”
About: I am currently providing primarily providing dog walking services. I intend to walk every dog at least 3 miles. With the exceptions for older dogs I will walk slower and for younger dogs I will walk more brisk so that when I bring your fur baby home they are thoroughly excercised and they will be well rested. Furthermore I will always bring my dog water bottle so that you all of your dogs needs are met while they are in my care. I am currently in school so I am mostly unavailable Tuesday-Friday but if you reach out to me most Mondays I have an idea of how my schedule is looking for the week and would be more then happy to make arrangements. I look forward to making new furry friends in the Overland Park are and the surrounding areas. I currently go to school Tuesday-Friday, but im available most evenings during those days and I am available every other day of the week I do not have a place to care for dogs, but if at a client's home I will follow your instructions to the letter and ensure your dog is kept on any schedule you would like them kept on.
“We were thrilled with Phillip's care of our two large dogs (90 and 94 pounds). One was a foster dog who had only been in our care a short while. We were unsure how he would react ... but he loved his overnight playmate :) Phillip sent lots of photos, which helped put my mind at ease. He took the dogs for a walk and attended to their every need. I would not hesitate to use Phillip again or to recommend him to anyone looking for a fellow dog-lover to take for their furry family member(s).”
“Jay went above and beyond caring for our pup while we were on vacation for a week. We’ve never left her in the care of someone that wasn’t friends or family before, but he made us feel so comfortable and our dog was so happy to be with him, which eased our minds greatly! I have previously worked at dog daycare/boarding facilities, on Wag!, on Rover and other pet care companies for the past decade, so I do have knowledge and high expectations when it comes to pet care and Jay exceeded them all. We have Furbo dog camera and it alerts me every time someone is in our home, our dog is playing, etc and he was always very timely and so very caring regarding our home and our dog. He also left the sweetest notes about what they did every morning and evening and sent us pictures of her every day. We will definitely look to Jay for every time we need someone to watch our dog moving forward! Thank you again so much!!!”
“5 stars! Danielle was very responsive and flexible from the first contact all the way through her time with my pups. The dogs warmed up to her instantly, which usually not the case with one. She sent me the best updates. I was so grateful. I knew my babies were in good hands. Will definitely hire Danielle again. 🫶”
About: I've trained service dogs and puppies. I've also cared for multi-animal (species and number) households and I've been doing so my whole life. Whether the dog is big or small, I'd love to help! Pet care is an integral part of my daily or weekly routine. I have ADHD that leans towards forgetting to do stuff for myself. To counter that, I connect my human activities with my pet activities. Like "I fed the dogs and cats" and then the next sentence is "Oh! I will feed myself too!" I have crate trained dogs before and can reinforce that training to ensure that dogs feel safe and secure in their resting area. I like to familiarize myself with their habits. For instance, where does your dog like to go for a walk? How do they exercise? What's their favorite treat and when do they usually get them? Do they like doing a particular activity? This is my client's home and with that it is my client's pet's home. I take that to heart and try to embed these habits into their daily routine so that they can be cared for well and in the way that they know.
“Erika is awesome with our puppy Lola. She has been timely, reliable and trustworthy. We feel comfortable and happy knowing our puppy is in safe hands! We have enjoyed getting to know and working with Erika and we would recommend her to other pet owners!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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 Stilwell 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 Stilwell 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Stilwell 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 , 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 .
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
