About: Hi, I'm Cassie! I grew up with cats, but became a dog person the day I unexpectedly met my pup Rebel 12 years ago! I wasn't planning on getting a dog that day, but I fell in love the moment I saw him, and the rest is history! Our girl, Kimmy (10), joined us in 2020 when a friend needed to rehome her. She's a social butterfly. They love making new friends, so we'd love to host your little one(s), and welcome them into our home. We have a fully-fenced back yard to run and play in. Dogs are allowed on the furniture here, but I'm happy to follow any rules you may have for your dogs if you prefer they not get on furniture. I currently work full-time outside of the house, but can come home over lunch to offer potty breaks if needed. When dog sitting, I try to limit my nighttime plans, so I'll have lots of time to play with your pup(s) after work! Your dog will be safe at my house. I have a 6ft privacy fence around most of the backyard, and a 4ft picket fence along one edge. I never leave the dogs unattended in the yard. I have a large dog crate if needed.

About: What sets me apart is that I truly care for every pet as if they were my own. Shy, anxious, or even grumpy pets don’t intimidate me—I take the time to earn their trust and help them feel safe and comfortable. I’m also experienced and comfortable caring for pets with medical needs, including administering medications and following special care instructions. Whether your pet is a playful puppy, a curious adult, or a sweet senior who needs extra patience and attention, I’ll provide the same love, care, and compassion they deserve. My goal is to make sure your pet feels happy, secure, and well cared for while you’re away, giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in loving hands. I work full time but have Wednesdays off and almost every weekend off. I also like to visit twice a day so I can check on any animal and make sure they are okay! If I am able I can always try to visit more! I treat any animal like my own but also respect whatever the owner wants. I will love them like they are my own! I can fit whatever they need into my schedule also!

About: I love dogs. I have always rented and never had an opportunity to own my own pets. Rover will give me a chance to get my pet fix in. I am available mornings, during my hour lunch break (12-1), and after work during the week. I get off at 5 pm daily. I have flexible availability on the weekends. I treat clients homes how I would want my own home to be treated. I will always leave a home better than I found it. I pay close attention to detail and will go above and beyond for your pet.

About: Since childhood, I have enjoyed the companionship of dogs. The first family pet I knew for nearly its entire lifetime was our rescue beagle my family adopted when I was about 8 years old. I have pet sat in the past, both overnight/in-home sitting, in addition to drop in visits to feed and let dogs outside for potty time. I have experience caring for senior pets, adults and puppies. I am available to care for your pets during weekday late mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends, and for overnight stays with your pet(s) as well. I am comfortable crating dogs if necessary and I have some experience caring for dogs with special needs, more specifically senior dogs that have mobility challenges.

About: My son and I regularly help friends and neighbors by walking their dogs, cats and caring for pets while they are away. We provide reliable, family-based care and treat every pet like our own. We follow routines closely, give pets plenty of attention and exercise, and keep owners updated for peace of mind. We’re comfortable with both energetic dogs and calmer pets, and always focus on safety, consistency, and genuine care. We’re primarily available on weekends when my son and I can fully focus on pet care. Weekday availability is limited due to school and work. Safety and trust are our top priorities. We follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, exercise, and any specific instructions, to keep them comfortable and stress-free. In our home, pets are supervised at all times and introduced carefully since we have a pet. In clients’ homes, we respect their space and ensure pets are secure, safe, and well cared for.

About: I come from a farm happy family and managed a doggy daycare, with extensive work in animal rescue. I have dealt with just about any animal you can imagine. Dogs, cats, horses, goats, guinea pigs, fish, snakes, birds, etc. Both of my pets have passed away but I have more love to give. I love animals and am just looking to fill some of my free time and earn a little extra cash. My lab has since passed due to old age in 2019 and I said goodbye to my golden in July 2025. I do work M-F and would be out of the home from roughly 7:15-5:00pm depending on your location, my office is near the state capitol. I work full time for a nonprofit in Topeka, so I am out of the house from 715am-5pm. I love going on walks and being outside before and after work! On the weekends aside from some errands I would be around. I do have the ability to work remotely as needed, so this is an option if your pet(s) need more time and attention. I take animal safety very seriously, especially after managing a doggy daycare, things can be unpredictable. I take extreme caution, and pay attention to all the signs your pet is giving me along with your requests to ensure they have a fun, safe time while in my care.

About: I have done drop in visits, farm sitting, dog grooming, equine care, and taken care of many animals. I have at least 10 references. Love all the animals and will treat them with love and respect. I own a mobile dog grooming business so can make my own schedule. I have my farm animals but I have help from family to care for mine when I’m needed elsewhere. I prefer to let the animals be in their own home as they seem less stressed knowing they will be where there family will be coming back to. They have their comfortable spots and smells and doesn’t disrupt their routine but if necessary I could care for them at my home. Would walk smaller dogs on leash outside or have outdoor pens for larger dogs to get to run.

About: Hey, I’m Alexis! I’m rather active and would love bringing your fur baby on walks/runs!! I don’t mind coming to check-in to play with, and provide your fur baby with food & water when you need the extra help! I don’t mind housesitting your pet(s) while you’re away. I do not provide doggy daycare, however I do allow you pet (singular) to stay the night at my place for x amt. of nights when you need it. You should be aware if your pet is coming over to my home, that I have an 8mo. old puppy named Lilo (American Eskimo) who loves to hang out and socialize with other animals (I do not allow animals over 15lbs to stay in my home due to my own puppy who is rather small). Thank you for taking your time to read this, and I hope to be of best help to you! If not, I wish you luck in finding a sitter that can! ~ Alexis

About: Hello! Fun Fact: If given the choice, I’d probably spend time with animals over people. 😊 I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life and caring for them is something I genuinely love. As a pet owner myself, I know every pet has their own personality and routine and I treat each one like family. I’m experienced in administering medications, including injections and diabetic care, and I’ve completed obedience training with my own dog, so I’m happy to reinforce good habits using positive encouragement. Since I own my own business, my schedule is flexible, allowing me to work around your pet’s routine. Whether they need playtime, walks, cuddles, or a little extra patience, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Structure and consistency are important! And because of that I strive to stick to your pet’s normal routine as much as possible. Whether that means feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, cuddles, administering medications, or simply providing companionship, I tailor my care to each pet’s individual needs. I also respect your home, keep everything clean and secure, so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Topeka

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Topeka on Rover is $16.65 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 302 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Topeka. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Topeka stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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 Topeka 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!

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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .

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 Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Topeka with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Topeka. On Rover:

  • 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 91% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
