“Taryn was fantastic! She showed up right on time, let our dogs out, and spent a full half-hour playing with them. Communication was quick and easy, and I really appreciated the picture updates—it gave me peace of mind knowing my pups were happy and well cared for. I would absolutely book her again!”
“What a fantastic experience! Marissa looked over my two cats during our extended honeymoon stay. Marissa was so easy to work with and allowed us to add four additional days onto our honeymoon thanks to her flexibility and professionalism. I truly cannot give a high enough rating for the experience and piece of mind she provided.”
“Alexandra was great! She really cared about my cat and gave me daily info and pictures that helped me feel more comfortable. She goes above and beyond. :)”

This was our first time using Rover and entrusting our kitties to someone and you made it a great, worry-free experience.”
“Absolutely amazing! I couldn’t recommend Cheyenne more. She’s caring thoughtful and has amazing attention to detail. My one baby cat was more social with her than I’m used to seeing with others! I absolutely plan on booking with her again! Thank you again Cheyenne!!”

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!

I do own cats and dogs, they are all friendly and used to other dogs! I will also respect your space and follow instructions for visits, dog or cat.
“First time using rover, Michaela was great and I felt like my kitties enjoyed their time while she visited them! Michaela really listened to what I usually do for the cats and learned their personalities. Plus she was very patient with me and when the schedule needed to change after booking, she ensured I got the proper refund without me even asking. 10/10 recommend”
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.
“Shannon was very professional and did all the visits in a timely manner. I am so grateful she was able to help me out while I was out of town for work. She is a life saver!! Highly recommend!!”
About: I have had a dog ever since I was 10 years old. I got another dog shortly after and would take care of them both when my parents were away. I watch my neighbors two large dogs for weeks at a time. I enjoy taking dogs on walks outside and playing with them- I treat them as my own. I work another job part time, I go to work early and am usually done around 3 or 4. I am available most weekends all day and am available for overnight care. I am normally off Friday-Sunday. I have a big field in my backyard and am comfortable if you do not live in a fenced in area. I am comfortable putting pets in a crate as well.
“Amber was great! When I asked her to swing by and get a walk-through of my apartment beforehand, she took the time to do so, which I appreciate. My cat was happy and healthy when I returned, so I'm grateful that Amber took great care of her while I was away!”
About: I have experience in clinic and shelter environments, especially with fearful or reactive pets. I also have experience with exotic animals and have taken care of personal pets my entire life! I’m reliable for feeding, walking, medicating, providing enrichment, and more. I’m currently available mornings, evenings, and overnight. With notice, I can invite animal-friendly small/medium pets into my home. For larger pets or those who don’t enjoy animal company, I can do drop-ins or walks at your home! I have my own friendly dogs and cats in my home. The small animals in my home are kept in a separate room. I have a long leash to give your pup some playtime outside, or we can take good walks on a regular leash. I can crate, medicate, or provide enrichment for your pets as needed (with instructions), always with compassionate care.

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.”

She handles my dog with kindness, patience, and confidence. For anyone looking for a caring and responsible helper, Celia is an easy choice.”

Rachel P.
“Rachel is amazing! Before we left for vacation she came over to meet our animals and familiarize herself with our routine. It made us feel so much better that our 2 dogs and cat were comfortable with who was watching them before we left. While we were gone Rachel sent us multiple photos and kept us up to date on how our animals were doing! Each of our dogs and our cat have to take medicine each day and Rachel was able to get everyone their medicine everyday. Truly a lifesaver!”
