About: I have 25 years experience taking care of dogs. From in home care to animal shelters & with all type, temperament, and size of dog! I own my own company and am a contractor for a auto company. I am kind of a Jack of all trades type of person. I will follow all instructions and requests to provide the absolute best care for your furry four legged family members! I look forward to meeting your pup!!
“Michael was great! Super quick to respond and willing to help on extremely short notice. My boyfriend and I are super sick and he took time out of his evening to come help our puppy get rid of some energy on a long walk. Much appreciated!”
“Arrica is amazing! Hands down one of the best walkers we’ve had. She’s professional, flexible, highly responsive, thorough and patient! She does great with my dog Mello, who warmed up to her quickly. He loves seeing her come through the door and we could not ask for better!”
“Amber has been great with walking our dog over lunch while we are at work! It’s been a couple weeks, and Amber has been great with communication, timing, and overall care for our dog.”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my experience with dogs. I worked at a wonderful dog shelter called KC Paws that taught me about dog handling, body language, and temperament. I was a shift lead so I have experience administering medications - liquid and pills. I am also a foster for T.A.R.A, another wonderful shelter, so I have TONS of experience with puppies as young as 5 weeks old. While I have not worked in a professional setting with cats, I have 3 of my own and I have fostered two sweet cats. I’m finishing up school with one class left so at the moment, Rover is my full time job! I’m available unless otherwise stated on my schedule for whatever care your pet needs - day and night. Feel free to send me a message about scheduling questions to see if we can work something out! :) I only offer dog sitting in your home because I’ve got too many animals at my house and your dog or cat’s safety is my biggest priority. I am diligent when it comes to following instructions (with medications, food allergies, special needs) as well as with making sure your home is all locked up when I leave.
“Wendy was FABULOUS! She was very kind and responsive, and was happy to modify the schedule when our needs changed. I would absolutely work with her again!”
“Professional, accommodating, and reliable. Ashley did a wonderful job looking after my senior dog whilst I was out of town. I wouldn't hesitate to utilize her services again in the future!”
About: In a professional capacity, I’ve been off and on Rover for a few years, and I love it! My clients have loved the customer service level I bring to each interaction. From my communication style and pictures to my ability to be flexible in scheduling. In my personal life, I’ve taken care of dogs, fish, cats, turtles/tortoises, rats and guinea pigs. I’ve administered medication to pets in the past and I’ve done enrichment training as well. Schedule varies. I work in the Plaza and Partner Joel works from home and is available to care for pets all day. We live in downtown Kansas City MO. With my dog walks, I’ll typically take a 20 minute walk with 10 minutes allowed for enrichment/playtime. With any drop-ins, I’m happy to refill food/water and/or take care of any plants babies that you may have as I have a pretty good green thumb.
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!
“Patricia did a wonderful job walking our pup! She was very communicative and I loved the updates she gave us! She went above and beyond. I highly recommend!”
“Ron was amazing! Not only did he always arrive when he said he would to walk Ziggy, he helped with 2 other animals at our house also. I would highly recommend Ron!”
“They are so awesome and helped me out on super short notice for a dog walk. I also invited them to bring their dog over to play with my dog in the backyard and my dog was SO happy! Really appreciate how great and responsive they are.”
About: Hi, I’m Mandy! I’ve owned animals my whole life and have always had dogs and cats of my own. I offer dog walks and drop-in visits to make sure your pets get the care, attention, and exercise they need while you’re away. I’m reliable, flexible, and always happy to follow your pet’s routine. You can count on me to show up on time and send updates so you’re never left wondering how things are going. Pet care beautifully fits into my daily life, thanks to my work schedule which allows me the flexibility to be present for the animals when they need it most. I take care of pets by sticking to their routine as closely as possible. I make sure they’re fed on time, get plenty of walks or playtime, and feel safe and comfortable. I keep things clean, follow your instructions, and give them lots of attention while you’re away.
About: I grew up on a farm where I cared for animals of all kinds. I’ve trained my dogs in obedience and agility for 4-H for 9 years, we even went to the Iowa State Fair! In college I worked at a doggy daycare as a dog handler and I am currently employed as a dog groomer and trainer. I’m new to the Overland Park area and I have a flexible part time job. My schedule is open and flexible! Whatever works for you! Safety is my top priority. I treat every pet in my care like they are my baby because they’re your baby. Secure fencing, leashes, and collars are an important part of my process. I am also trained to recognize signs of stress in your pet, as well as other safety training through my job.
“Chandler does a great job with my old pup. She helps give his meds in the afternoon and lets him lead the way on how far or how long he is interested in walking. We are grateful for Chandler.”
“We are really pleased with Erin’s care of our dog. Erin has been walking her a couple of times a week for the past three months. She gives her a nice long walk and does a great job updating us about how the visit went. Erin is responsive to requests and always shows up when she says she will.”
About: I’m a lifelong dog lover excited to offer reliable, caring dog walking and pet sitting. Whether your pup needs a playful walk, a quick drop in midday, or some cuddles while you’re away, I’ll treat them like they’re my own! 💛 I have experience with dogs of all sizes, energy levels, and personalities. I no longer have a dog of my own, but I know your pet will help fill my heart with all the joy I need! I would love to help keep your pet happy, healthy, and loved while you’re out. I work three 12 hour days at the hospital - so I always have a long weekend! My days off are Saturday, Sunday, Monday & Tuesday. I am also open to doing an evening walk after I get off work on Wednesday or Thursday! I understand how important it is to feel confident your pet is in good hands — I do live in an apartment, but would be only watching them on my days off where I am home all day! If you would like to set up a meet & greet — I’d love to meet your pet! 💛

Paul R.
“Paul is so good with Rousseau! He always takes great care of him and you can tell just how much Rou loves him by his excitement as soon as he sees Paul or even hears his name. As Rou has gotten older Paul has adjusted his time from longer walks to slow down and take more breaks so he can keep up. We appreciate his attention to those important details for our fur baby! It’s so comforting to know he is in good hands!”

Ronnie R.
“I have known Ronnie for over eight years and he has always shown great love and compassion towards all animals including dogs. Out of all pets that a person could have, I would say that Ronnie's favorite would have to be dogs. We use to be roommates and he watched other peoples dogs on numerous occasions and was very great at it. I could tell that he really enjoyed being around dogs. We also owned a cat together and he was such a great caregiver to our cat. Ronnie is a very responsible and caring man, he takes great pride in his work and has an enormous love for dogs. If there was one job that I know Ronnie would be excellent at, it would be a caregiver for dogs.”
Jennifer T.
“Jenn & Scott are great Pet Parents to all pets BIG & smol. They love to have fun playtime with furry friends but also work in some Good Dog training. Fritz luvs to go to their house & play-especially in their big back yard with plenty of room for fetch or zoomies. Even my old Mastiff (who didn't play well with others) loved walks with Aunty Jenn. She has a very big heart with lots of room for your pet!”

I will definitely keep using Amanda to help with my pets and would 100% recommend!”

It gives me peace of mind knowing they’re in such good hands. And she always brings the best treats!”
