“Annicka was a pleasure to work with! She was incredibly kind, communicative, and easy to talk to. During our initial meeting, she asked thoughtful, detailed questions about our puppy’s care, which immediately put us at ease. Throughout her time with him, she was reliable and kept us well-informed with great updates. We felt completely confident leaving our pup in her care and would absolutely utilize her again, as well as recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive sitter.”



“Susan was amazing! We couldn't have asked for a better house sitter for our young , crazy lab pups. Susan definitely went above and beyond. We hope Susan will be available for all our future trips.”


“Michaela was awesome!! Took great care of Coco and it was so nice to have someone at the house to watch over everything. She even watered our plants. Excellent communication before, during and after our trip and we loved getting all of the photos while we were on vacation so we didn't have to worry. This was not our first Rover experience, but the first house sitting one and it gave us peace-of-mind for sure. Thanks again, Michaela.”


“I have used Amber a few times now, and I can't say enough good things. The way she takes care of our home and our puppy is unmatched. The peace of mind we have when we leave is priceless.”


“Leslie did an outstanding job in communicating with us throughout the week. Her stay coincided with a severe winter storm and heavy snowfall. She shoveled the sidewalk and driveway repeatedly. Will definitely use her again!”


About: I have always loved being around animals, but due to my living circumstances and travel activities, owning a pet has become complicated. After retiring in 2022, I stumbled upon pet/house sitting as a means to satisfy my travel urge and my desire to be around animals. In the three years I have been house sitting, I have cared for dozens of family pets in cities all around the US. I have a part time job working a few hours just a couple of mornings a week at a YMCA. However, I have plenty of room in my schedule when I am not traveling. Rover makes it possible for me to satisfy the urge for animal companionship when I am in KC. I do not have the space or circumstances to allow me to care for other people's pets in my home. However, I am willing to travel to your home to care for your pet when you cannot do so yourself. If you need to be gone overnight, I am willing to come and offer your pet the companionship they need to feel comfortable and safe. Similarly, I am happy to do drop-ins to let them out, feed them, take them for walks, clean their litter boxes, etc. As mentioned, I have been actively involved in pet sitting on TrustedHouseSitters for the past three years and have many 5-star reviews for my efforts.

“Kali was great! She focused on the dogs and gave them lots of attention during her stay. She recorded feeding times and times when Kali administered our cat his insulin shots. She was respectful to our home and washed bedding, cleaned floors, bathroom and did her own dishes. Thank you again, Kali!”



“We were pretty nervous about having someone in our home to take care of our pets, and have always relied on boarding with out vet, in the past. Shanelle is the first person who we have ever had housesit with our pets. We have 2 dogs and 2 cats. We have had her stay 2 or 3 times, and one time for over a week. She is wonderful! She is the sweetest, kindest person, and really seems to care about our home and our pets. Her fiance helps her from time to time and he is also very nice and reliable. Besides doing everything that was expected, she also made sure our newly planted grass was watered every day, and took our 9 month old puppy to her own home for a playdate with her own dogs. Our house was clean and in perfect order when we got home. We can't thank Shanelle enough for such a great experience, and we highly recommend her! We will have her stay again, for sure!”


“Hailie is a true animal lover with tons of experience. She did an awesome job taking care of our large dog and three cats. Plus, she's super professional, responsive, and easy to work with. Highly recommend!”


“Laura is wonderful. My pups are spoiled and she sends multiple pictures and updates when I am gone. I have used her several times and will use her as much as she is available in the future.”


“Ashlyn did a wonderful job of caring for our boxer pup Laney. She was very responsive & punctual and Laney was happy & well cared for when our son got home from work. We will be lucky to have Ashlyn come again!”


About: I grew up on the family farm surrounded by dogs and cats and all kinds of animals - caring for them was part of my life. That lifelong connection led me to volunteer at a local dog and cat shelter where I've gained even more experience with pets of all temperaments and needs. I treat every animal like family and I willl give your pet loving care whether it's for a quick walk or an overnight stay. I have a very flexible schedule so I can fully prioritize pet care. My days naturally revolve around the animals I am caring for and I enjoy creating routine that suits their needs. My home, farm in the woods, is calm and pet friendly space where animals can relax, go for walks or play. In client's home, I'm respectful of their space and routines, I communicate with the owner, send updates and make sure the pet has all my attention.

“Emily is all around awesome! We have two large puppies with a lot of energy, they can be a handful sometimes. She was very communicative and sent great updates with pictures. She also took care of my plants! I would definitely recommend her and use her in the future!”


“Bella loved Allison. She stayed 2 nights house sitting and caring for Bella. Everything was perfect. I’d highly recommend Allison for your pet or home needs.”


About: 🐾 About Me: Hi there! I’m passionate about pets and have been taking care of dogs since I was just 7 years old. Throughout my life, I’ve had the joy of sharing my home with various breeds, including Cairn Terriers, Beagles, Dachshunds, German Shepherds, and a Pit Bull. Each dog has taught me something unique, and I cherish the bond we have/created. ❤️ Fostering Experience: I’ve also had the rewarding experience of being a foster mom for a dog rescue. Caring for these wonderful animals has been immensely fulfilling, and I loved being able to help them transition to their forever homes. My heart is always open to providing a safe and loving environment. 🐶 What I Offer: Playtime & Exercise:** I believe every dog deserves to have fun! Whether it’s a walk, a game of fetch, or just some cuddle time, I’m here to keep your pup engaged and happy. Personalized Care:** I understand that every dog has its own personality and needs. I’m committed to providing tailored care that suits your furry friend perfectly. Safe Environment:** Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I maintain a clean, secure space where they can feel at home. 🌟 Let’s Connect! If you’re looking for a dedicated and experienced dog caregiver, I’d love to meet your pup! Together, we can ensure they have a fantastic time while you’re away. Feel free to reach out—let’s chat about how I can help! I work a full-time job remotely four days a week, which gives me flexibility during the weekdays. My schedule allows me to be available for dog sitting in the evenings after work and throughout the day on my days off. Additionally, I’m free on weekends, making it easy to provide care for your furry friend when you need it most. •Secure Space: My home is pet-proofed, with all hazardous materials (like cleaning supplies and small objects) stored out of reach. I ensure that windows and doors are secure to prevent any escapes. •Emergency Preparedness: I have a first aid kit specifically for pets and know basic first aid procedures. I am also familiar with the nearest veterinary clinics and emergency animal hospitals in case of any urgent situations. •Supervised Play: When dogs are playing, I supervise them closely to prevent any roughhousing that could lead to injury. I also monitor their interactions to ensure they are comfortable and safe. •Open Communication: I believe in building trust with both you and your dog. I encourage you to share any specific needs, preferences, or concerns regarding your pet's care. Regular updates and photos can help you feel connected while you’re away. •Consistency: I maintain a consistent routine for feeding, walks, and playtime to help your dog feel secure and comfortable in my home. Familiarity fosters trust, and I aim to create a stable environment for your pet. •Positive Reinforcement: I use positive reinforcement techniques to build a rapport with your dog. This helps them feel more at ease and creates a trusting relationship. •Comfortable Space: Your dog will have access to a cozy area where they can relax. I provide bedding, toys, and a quiet place for them to unwind. I also ensure that the environment is clean and free from any hazards.

“Angela is really knowledgeable about both cats and dogs. She’s calm and observant, and even my most skittish cat warmed to her right away. I will absolutely ask Angela to care for my fur babies again!”


About: Animals have always had an extremely special place in my heart. Ever since I was a kid I’ve helped care for my family’s own pets: feeding them, caring for their health, giving baths, taking them outside and on walks, and pretty much anything else having a pet entails. I also am in the process of beginning volunteering with the cats and dogs at Lawrence Humane Society! I am a full-time student, but I am available whenever I am not busy with classes. I also have a few volunteering shifts throughout each week that I need to work around, and a job (that I will be done with next month). I provide them with food and water, clean up their litter, play with them, take the dogs on walks, and show all the animals lots of love! I am also flexible and open to doing whatever I am able to.

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs. Whether your pet loves cuddles, playtime, or peaceful walks, I adjust to their needs with patience and genuine care. I’ll always treat your furry friend like family and keep you updated every step of the way. Pet care is a part of my everyday life—I care for my two cats daily, so feeding, cleaning, playtime, and attention are already built into my routine. I work on a flexible schedule, which allows me to plan visits and drop-ins throughout the day without rushing. Whether it’s a quick litter check or a longer visit with cuddles and enrichment, I enjoy making time for animals and giving them the care they deserve. I provide care in my client’s home to make sure pets stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow any specific instructions you provide—whether that’s feeding, playtime, litter box cleaning, or administering medications. I always approach pets calmly and respectfully, especially if they’re shy or need time to warm up. I’m happy to send regular updates and photos so you feel reassured while you’re away.

“No issues at all”


About: I have been taking care of animals since I was a very little girl. I love all types of animals and my children and I would do anything to provide for any animal. I am a busy mom with a full time job, that being said us moms have super powers so I can make pretty much anything fit into my schedule. The workweek I would be available for early mornings and evenings but the weekends are open and flexible. I have a big backyard and a lovable shitzu and lab to keep your animal company. I enjoy taking walks and getting exercise and playing inside or outside.
