“Kylee was amazing!! We have 2 high energy dogs and she handled them beautifully, lots of attention and activity. She was communicative and very easy to work with. Definitely recommend!!”


“We had a last minute sports trip come up and was worried trying to find a place for our dogs. Alyssa was very quick to respond and let us know all that we needed to do to get booked with her. She was so kind and sent photos of our dogs having the best time. We will be using her anytime we need in the future!”

“He can be trusted in dog sitting in case you need one. This is my first time booking for a sitter for my 8 month old humungous puppy Smitty. He assured me that everything’s okay when feel like my dog was giving him a hard time and I will just pick him up instead if I need to-but he did his job well. Smitty got attached to him in just a short period of time. Definitely recommended and yes, I will book again if I had the need to.”

“Jenny was wonderful!! This was my first time leaving my fur babies and she took very good care of them, and kept me well informed with photos and updates. I will definitely use her again!”

“Kylie was great with our dog who was a little nervous at first being left in a different environment and meeting new doggie friends and a cat. Kylie took the time to let her get comfortable. Will definitely use her again”

“Amy was amazing with my dog, Brownie. He can definitely be a barker, but he’s a sweet, lovable boy, and she was so patient and understanding with him. She really treated him like he was part of her own family. She kept me updated the whole time with messages and photos, which meant so much to me. I never had to worry about how he was doing. She even asked about his preferences and routines to make sure he felt comfortable and at home. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the dogs she watches. Brownie looked happy and relaxed, and that says everything. He totally didn’t miss me when I picked him up lol. You won’t find anyone like her. I’d trust her again in a heartbeat.”

“Cheryl was very accommodating to our senior 16 yr old beagle and her special needs (meds and soiling pads) while we were away for 2 nights. She sent us updates and pictures daily which was appreciated. If you want someone who really cares about animals, she is highly recommended by us. We will definitely be using her again in the future.”
“Lily was GREAT with my 2 dogs, one of which is a puppy and requires more attention. She gave me updates on how they were doing along with pictures. Really put my mind at ease to see how well they were doing. Anyone would be happy to have her watch their animals.”

“Samantha was so wonderful! She was able to take my two dogs Remy and Piper on short notice I was in town for my son’s wedding and Samantha came to my hotel to meet us and then was able to care for them during all the festivities. She picked them up and also brought them back. She was so loving and kind to them. I just fell in love with her. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Thank you, Samantha, from the bottom of my heart!”

“Sasha does a great job watching Peggy for me when I need to go out of town! Peggy loves Sasha and was very excited for her to pick her up for this visit. Sasha makes sure to take good care of Peggy and to give her lots of love ❤️.”

“Charity did an amazing job keeping my Denver over the holidays. She sent photos everyday and messages when needed. I will definitely book with her again soon. Thank you so much Charity.”

“My sweet, adorable dog, Zeke, was lovingly cared for by sweet, Paige, and her husband. Paige sent photos often of Zeke with edifying progress reports. It was clear Zeke was being loved 🥰 and appreciated. He quickly became a member of their family. That speaks to their hearts and how welcoming they were to him.”

“Keitel was very welcoming. Our dog had been with the same sitter for almost 2 1/2 years and I was worried how she would do with a new family. Keitel and family were very good with her and the pictures sent showed us that she was very happy with them.”

About: I have cared for my friends and families pets while they were away for multiple years. I have experience with grooming, feeding and walking multiple breeds of dogs. I will spend plenty of quality time with your fur baby to help keep them both mentally and physically healthy while you are away. I have a special place in my heart for cats. So if you have a kitten or adult cat that needs someone to check in on them and a little play time then I would love the opportunity to get to know them. I currently work a full time job with day shift hours. I would be able to care for your fur baby on evenings or weekends. Occasionally a couple days during the week. I have a large fenced in back yard with plenty of room for my pup to run. My daughter and I enjoy evening walks with our pup and bathing her weekly.
“Emily is a great host. She has a great personality and communicates very well. We received notifications of how our dogs were doing during the stay. We will definitely be choosing Emily for our next stay.”

About: I have years of experience caring for animals of all kinds—from dogs and cats to livestock and small pets. My passion for animals started at a young age, and I’ve dedicated my education and career to understanding their needs. I hold both a bachelor’s and a master’s degree in Animal Science, which gives me a strong foundation in animal health, behavior, and nutrition. We live on a beautiful 6-acre farm that offers plenty of space for dogs to explore and play. While our yard is not fully fenced yet, we ensure safety with multiple supervised outdoor trips on a leash. Our home is pet-friendly, and our own Corgis love meeting new friends! High-energy dogs are no problem—we provide daily exercise and enrichment to keep them happy and healthy. When your pet stays with us, they’ll receive top-notch care, attention, and love as if they were part of our family. My goal is to make sure every pet feels comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away. I currently work during the day, but I often work from home as my schedule allows. I’m very transparent about my availability so we can make sure it works for both of us. Caring for animals is something I truly enjoy, so I make time for multiple walks, play sessions, and enrichment activities throughout the day. Your pet will be included in my routine alongside my own dogs, ensuring they get plenty of attention, exercise, and love. Safety is always a priority—outdoor time will be supervised and on-leash until our yard fencing is complete. Our dogs are part of our family, and yours will be treated the same. Every dog will enjoy supervised outdoor time on a leash for safety, and we’re in the process of installing a secure fence to provide even more freedom for play. We strive to create a loving, safe environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for.

About: I have had cats since I could walk. I have 9 years of experience in veterinary medicine and can medicate your kitties as well if needed. Litter boxes are scooped daily, fresh water given, and food on the schedule of your choice. Drop in visits, overnights and boarding at my home are available where your cat will have their own room away from other pets to be kept safely. Cats are not kept in kennels here unless medically necessary. Daily photos will be provided to the owner!

“We are really happy with her services, we requested last minute services and she acommodated us in her schedule. No problems at all, even having a hudge difficult to handle dog. Thanks!”

“Lideah did a fantastic job with my cat, Sophie Marie. I can't tell you how pleased I am with all she did. She housesat for me and my house was spotless and, more importantly, I could tell Sophie was well cared for while I was away. I hope to ask Lideah in the future to take care of Sophie Marie.”

About: I have been taking care of dogs other than my own since I was about 8. Family, friends and neighbors have always relied on me to care for their pets whenever they need. I am comfortable with any size, age, or breed of dog there is! I have went through training with my dog, so I know what its like to take care of any dog from highly energized to very lazy, untrained or highly trained. I have taken care of two litters of puppies at the same time - 16 total puppies! - so I can handle whatever is thrown my way. I am currently taking online college classes full-time and working part-time, so I have plenty of extra time to spend with your pets, whether that is going on walks or just hanging out while I do my schoolwork! I have a fenced in yard and a 3 year old doggo at home if needed to keep your pet entertained. I also have a dog park and plenty of room to go on walks or runs with your pet. I like to stay active so I try to take my dog out on 1-2 walks a day since he needs his exercise!
About: For over 10 years, I loved and cared for my own beloved dogs before they passed away a few years ago, and for the past 4 years, I have been occasionally sitting for my neighbor's dog. I have a 6-year-old daughter and a 7-year-old son who share my deep love for animals, so your pup will get plenty of gentle affection and enthusiastic playtime from our family! In our home, your fur baby will have a secure, fenced yard to explore. Whether they prefer high-energy fun or just lounging around and getting belly rubs, we adapt to whatever makes your dog feel safest and most comfortable. I am a Special Education teacher currently on summer break, which means I have a highly flexible schedule and open availability! My own children are in summer camp Monday through Friday during the day, giving me plenty of dedicated, uninterrupted time to focus entirely on your pet's routine, walks, and care. I am available for boarding and daytime companionship, ensuring your fur baby gets plenty of attention and love. As a SPED teacher, I bring patience, structure, and deep reliability into my pet care. I offer a very secure environment with a fully fenced yard for safe playtime. Because my husband works night shifts and sleeps during the day, our home maintains a wonderfully calm, quiet, and peaceful atmosphere during the daytime hours—perfect for dogs who get stressed by loud noises. In the evenings and weekends, my 6 and 7-year-old children join the fun, and they are incredibly gentle and respectful animal lovers. Your pet will receive 100% of our family's care and focus!
About: I grew up on a farm with pretty much every animal you can think of, including some exotics. I’ve spent many years raising my own animals (cats, dogs,rabbits, snakes, horses, etc) and have also done the same helping out with our friends and family’s pets. I love animals and honestly wish I could bring them all home but I can’t, so this is the next best thing! I can walk your pet on a leash and crate them when needed. I also have 1 friendly dog and 4 friendly kids to keep your fur baby company! If they need a bath I can also do that too! They will be fed, watered and spoiled rotten! I currently work for a job that I can work both in office and remote so my schedule is pretty flexible and can be open to accommodate anyone’s needs. We always maintain water, keep on their feed schedule as well as any grooming schedules they may have. Lots of play time inside and outside.
About: I grew up on a farm in Kansas, have a degree in Biology and have been around animals my entire life. Anyone who knows me, will attest that I pay lots of attention to their pets. I have been asked to watch houses and pets for years by family and friends who don't trust anyone else. I have kept dogs, cats, sheep, cows, ducks, fish, reptiles, spiders, insects, birds and lizards as pets. I normally work a 9-5 schedule Monday through Friday and live alone in Rose Hill, KS. Most evenings I go for a walk when it cools down because I love being outdoors. On my walks, I usually end up petting several neighborhood dogs and cats that eagerly await my attention. In general, I try to observe and match the energy level and interests of a particular pet. My day job involves going into lots of homes with pets. I get plenty of practice meeting new pets and needing to win them over fast.

“Taylor was very good with my fur baby! She gave specific updates on her health issues and let me know everything I wanted/needed to know! Will definitely use her for future trips out of town!”
About: I’ve volunteered at various Vet Clinics with over 2 years experience. I'm currently attending Prairie View A&M University in pursuit of research in Animal Psychology I’m currently just in school so have a lot of extra time to spend with my new furry friends, available most days early mornings & afternoons. I prefer to care for your furry friend in clients home but can provide mine if needed. I have plenty of walkways near my home to walk and 2 munchkins of my own that can play with your friend as well!
About: I was raised on a farm my whole life taking care of animals! I have a huge heart for any animal and always enjoy getting to know their different personalities! I have experience with diabetic and senior dogs :) I work full time in healthcare but luckily, I have weekends off! I have lots of time to play with and get to know your pup! I have a pretty big fenced in yard along with free rome in the home! I have 2 friendly dogs for your babies to play with while they stay!

About: I’ve been caring for pets for years and have experience with cats of all personalities, from playful kittens to more independent or shy cats. I’m patient, attentive, and make sure each cat feels comfortable in their own environment. I can handle feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime, and giving them the attention they need while you’re away. I also have experience working with pet owners through Rover, so I understand the importance of communication, updates, and making sure you feel at ease while your pet is in my care.
About: Well rounded pet care taker/sitter. Experience caring for animals such as dogs to horses. Many years of house, pet, and property sitting. More than willing to work requests or specific tasks that your companion may need or is a part of their schedule. I am available to care for your pet(s) anytime between 6:00 am - 11:00 pm any day of the week that are available on my Rover Schedule. Please let me know if there is anything more I could do for you and your companion(s). Allowing your pet(s) to adjust to a new environment (or person) is very important. At this time I am not providing daycare or boarding. As a standard, I expect to be able to walk your companion(s) around their own neighborhood or environment that they are comfortable with. If I were to pet sit in a client’s home the utmost respect for property and privacy would be carried out. I would request specific instructions to where I am to be in the home at all times. All services would still be carried out to the same standards. Currently, I do not stay overnight while house or dog sitting.
About: I've been an animal lover since I was four when my first dog came into my life :) I started pet sitting for family and friends when I was around ten, and it's been something I've loved doing ever since. I've cared for all types of pets - from puppies to senior dogs, cats of all personalities, turtles, fish, and even some farm animals! I have no problem giving medications - I've given insulin injections to diabetic dogs many times and understand how important it is to stick to medication schedules. I understand how pets thrive on their familiar routines and environment. I'll make sure to maintain their schedule and send you updates with plenty of photos while you're away :) I know firsthand that there’s nothing better than seeing your pets happy and relaxed when you can't be with them! I work remotely and choose my own hours, so my schedule is quite flexible! I’m a bit of a night owl naturally, so I especially love taking fur babies for evening walks, but any time I get to care for an animal is a great time :) I’ve been taking care of dogs, cats, turtles, chickens, and everything in between for over ten years now, so I have experience handling almost every situation that could come about :) I’ve administered insulin via injection to dogs, fed both cats and dogs pills, cleaned up after them if there are any accidents, placed them in (and taken them out of) crates gently and calmly, and generally whatever was necessary to ensure that every pet in my care is happy and well taken care of.

“Alyssa’s care is exceptional. We hired her to care for our 10 month old Lab who has a broken leg. Unfortunately her cast fell off the same morning we dropped her off for the first time. Alyssa was understanding and accommodating and went above and beyond to still help us as we scheduled a recasting. She was responsive & even sent pictures of our girl being loved on during the day. We would recommend Alyssa’s care to anyone!”

“Jamie and her family love our fur baby (Toby) as much as we do. Jamie made sure he was a happy boy while in her care with plenty of love, attention, walks, and a bike ride. Jamie sent pictures, videos, and updates on all of his adventures. Toby gets excited when I tell him we are going to go and visit Jamie. It’s his home away from home!”

“Tonya and Aaron were great watching my 2 dogs for a few hours while we were in town for an event! They dogs played outside the whole time and were happy campers when we picked them up!”

“We love Kylee! My Yorkies enjoy going to her house! She is always thoughtful and keeps us informed on how the girls are doing! This is our third time and we will book either her again! 5 stars ⭐️”

About: To me pets are family and that’s How I will always treat them.

“Jordan and Cody did a terrific job caring for our Bella Peach! There was another dog there and I’m sure Bella loved running and playing! Jordan sent an update with photos and it looked like Bella was enjoying her day! They have a lovely home with a nice sized fenced yard. Bella was happy and tired when we picked her up and slept like a log. We couldn’t have been happier. Our fur baby was in excellent, loving hands! Thank you Jordan & Cody!”

“Cheryl is responsive, dependable, & actively engaged our dog in her care. We appreciated the meet & greet prior to our dog’s daycare & the report following our dog’s stay. We’ll be contacting Cheryl again!”

“With Siahara I have peace of mind knowing that Gracie is in a safe and comfortable place like she is accustomed to at home. That’s is exactly what I needed when seeking an alternative to a boarding kennel operation.”

About: I’ve always had cats and dogs and I can’t live without them! I also have 15+ years of equine care experience. If your animal is a mammal, I can handle it! I can make daily visits while you’re out of town and can offer daycare to cat-friendly dogs. We have two cats and one dog who get along great with other animals! Our home offers an open layout where indoor activities and games can be played during especially hot or cold weather and when it’s nice out, we have a fully fenced and grass covered yard perfect for dogs to romp.
“Halie was amazing! She accepted a same-day doggie day care request because we were in the middle of moving, and she took such great care of Chestnut. Chestnut was very happy and when we picked him up. We really appreciate her help and would definitely book with her again!”

“Chloe is Awesome!!!! It was our first time using the app and first time leaving our 8month old great dane anywhere and she made it so easy for a last minute drop for doggy care for the day. She responded quickly and after leaving her she sent us a video of our pup having a great time. Really put our hearts at ease. Highly recommend her to everyone!!!!!”

“Roselyn did a great job watching my energetic pup and keeping everyone safe and happy when playing. She sent me pictures to let me know how he was doing and hopefully he can visit her pups again someday! You won’t be anxious leaving your pup with her! Thank you!! :)”

“We are so thankful that Sara has been available to watch our pup Luna while we’re in town visiting family. Sara is such a genuinely nice person, and Luna loves making herself at home with Sara and her boys. We never worry about her while we are away, because we know she’s in great hands.”

I currently work for a job that I can work both in office and remote so my schedule is pretty flexible and can be open to accommodate anyone’s needs. We always maintain water, keep on their feed schedule as well as any grooming schedules they may have. Lots of play time inside and outside.
About: For over 10 years, I loved and cared for my own beloved dogs before they passed away a few years ago, and for the past 4 years, I have been occasionally sitting for my neighbor's dog. I have a 6-year-old daughter and a 7-year-old son who share my deep love for animals, so your pup will get plenty of gentle affection and enthusiastic playtime from our family! In our home, your fur baby will have a secure, fenced yard to explore. Whether they prefer high-energy fun or just lounging around and getting belly rubs, we adapt to whatever makes your dog feel safest and most comfortable. I am a Special Education teacher currently on summer break, which means I have a highly flexible schedule and open availability! My own children are in summer camp Monday through Friday during the day, giving me plenty of dedicated, uninterrupted time to focus entirely on your pet's routine, walks, and care. I am available for boarding and daytime companionship, ensuring your fur baby gets plenty of attention and love. As a SPED teacher, I bring patience, structure, and deep reliability into my pet care. I offer a very secure environment with a fully fenced yard for safe playtime. Because my husband works night shifts and sleeps during the day, our home maintains a wonderfully calm, quiet, and peaceful atmosphere during the daytime hours—perfect for dogs who get stressed by loud noises. In the evenings and weekends, my 6 and 7-year-old children join the fun, and they are incredibly gentle and respectful animal lovers. Your pet will receive 100% of our family's care and focus!

“Taylor is the best!! Has taken care of our pup multiple times and always goes above and beyond. Great with communication. Always leaves pics and an update, she’s so good”

About: I grew up taking care of dogs and have two of my own. Looking for opportunities to help others care for their animals as I have benefitted from this service in the past. I’m available on weekends to help with check ins, dog walking, or overnight stays. I’m happy to come to your home if it is more convenient for your pet. I have a fenced yard and a downstairs area for dogs to play. Also, two kiddos who love animals and always enjoy making new animal friends.
About: I was raised on a farm my whole life taking care of animals! I have a huge heart for any animal and always enjoy getting to know their different personalities! I have experience with diabetic and senior dogs :) I work full time in healthcare but luckily, I have weekends off! I have lots of time to play with and get to know your pup! I have a pretty big fenced in yard along with free rome in the home! I have 2 friendly dogs for your babies to play with while they stay!
About: I fell in love with dogs at 6 years old when we adopted a Cocker Spaniel, Heidi. After graduating from KU I was finally able to adopt my own, Lola. Since our German Shepherd Kylee passed in 2020 we have especially enjoyed caring for fur babies in our home. My sons are 8 and 10 and are, of course, also huge animal lovers. I’d love to adopt again, but right now we are soaking up all the cuddles from new and returning furry friends. Caring for pups brings us so much joy. Our family loves playing indoors or out in our fenced in yard and will easily adapt to your pet’s needs. *Large fenced in yard *I love going on walks/runs *Plenty of space in my home to play *Lots of love to give to your fur baby
About: Well rounded pet care taker/sitter. Experience caring for animals such as dogs to horses. Many years of house, pet, and property sitting. More than willing to work requests or specific tasks that your companion may need or is a part of their schedule. I am available to care for your pet(s) anytime between 6:00 am - 11:00 pm any day of the week that are available on my Rover Schedule. Please let me know if there is anything more I could do for you and your companion(s). Allowing your pet(s) to adjust to a new environment (or person) is very important. At this time I am not providing daycare or boarding. As a standard, I expect to be able to walk your companion(s) around their own neighborhood or environment that they are comfortable with. If I were to pet sit in a client’s home the utmost respect for property and privacy would be carried out. I would request specific instructions to where I am to be in the home at all times. All services would still be carried out to the same standards. Currently, I do not stay overnight while house or dog sitting.
About: I’ve had a dog all growing up and want to take care of yours as if they’re my own. No matter the size, I want to be the best sitter I can be for them and for you! I’m available mornings, lunch and evenings to make sure your dog is well taken care of while you’re gone. I have lots of free time to make sure they are loved and taken care of! I’m used to making sure that your dog enjoys their walk, bathroom break or anything else while making sure they are safe from running away, other people or other dogs! You can sleep peacefully knowing they’re in good hands!
“With my schedule being busy my foster pup needed someone to take him out in some adventures. He loves walks so wanted to try a dog walker. Bruce did great with Essence and really enjoyed going for a walk with her. Definitely going to continue booking Bruce to help get his exercise. Recommend Essence for sure! She did amazing with Bruce! She kept us updated and she took pictures of him! Thank you so much!!!”

“Kylee was amazing!! We have 2 high energy dogs and she handled them beautifully, lots of attention and activity. She was communicative and very easy to work with. Definitely recommend!!”


“We had a last minute sports trip come up and was worried trying to find a place for our dogs. Alyssa was very quick to respond and let us know all that we needed to do to get booked with her. She was so kind and sent photos of our dogs having the best time. We will be using her anytime we need in the future!”

“He can be trusted in dog sitting in case you need one. This is my first time booking for a sitter for my 8 month old humungous puppy Smitty. He assured me that everything’s okay when feel like my dog was giving him a hard time and I will just pick him up instead if I need to-but he did his job well. Smitty got attached to him in just a short period of time. Definitely recommended and yes, I will book again if I had the need to.”

“Kylie was great with our dog who was a little nervous at first being left in a different environment and meeting new doggie friends and a cat. Kylie took the time to let her get comfortable. Will definitely use her again”

“Amy was amazing with my dog, Brownie. He can definitely be a barker, but he’s a sweet, lovable boy, and she was so patient and understanding with him. She really treated him like he was part of her own family. She kept me updated the whole time with messages and photos, which meant so much to me. I never had to worry about how he was doing. She even asked about his preferences and routines to make sure he felt comfortable and at home. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the dogs she watches. Brownie looked happy and relaxed, and that says everything. He totally didn’t miss me when I picked him up lol. You won’t find anyone like her. I’d trust her again in a heartbeat.”

“Lily was GREAT with my 2 dogs, one of which is a puppy and requires more attention. She gave me updates on how they were doing along with pictures. Really put my mind at ease to see how well they were doing. Anyone would be happy to have her watch their animals.”

“Sasha does a great job watching Peggy for me when I need to go out of town! Peggy loves Sasha and was very excited for her to pick her up for this visit. Sasha makes sure to take good care of Peggy and to give her lots of love ❤️.”

“Charity did an amazing job keeping my Denver over the holidays. She sent photos everyday and messages when needed. I will definitely book with her again soon. Thank you so much Charity.”

“My sweet, adorable dog, Zeke, was lovingly cared for by sweet, Paige, and her husband. Paige sent photos often of Zeke with edifying progress reports. It was clear Zeke was being loved 🥰 and appreciated. He quickly became a member of their family. That speaks to their hearts and how welcoming they were to him.”

About: I have cared for my friends and families pets while they were away for multiple years. I have experience with grooming, feeding and walking multiple breeds of dogs. I will spend plenty of quality time with your fur baby to help keep them both mentally and physically healthy while you are away. I have a special place in my heart for cats. So if you have a kitten or adult cat that needs someone to check in on them and a little play time then I would love the opportunity to get to know them. I currently work a full time job with day shift hours. I would be able to care for your fur baby on evenings or weekends. Occasionally a couple days during the week. I have a large fenced in back yard with plenty of room for my pup to run. My daughter and I enjoy evening walks with our pup and bathing her weekly.
“Emily is a great host. She has a great personality and communicates very well. We received notifications of how our dogs were doing during the stay. We will definitely be choosing Emily for our next stay.”

“We highly recommend Sara! It was incredibly easy to schedule with her. Her home was very welcoming. We know our dog was in excellent care during his stay. She was willing to be flexible with extending the dates when our travel plans were delayed. She frequently sent great pictures and updates. We are so thankful that we found Sara! You won’t regret booking with her!”
“Kate is awesome! Can tell from her dogs’ behavior that she really loves e-mails. Also think she may have a future as an animal photographer cause she took the best shots of my dog!”

“Was our first time having Anubis boarded and he seemed to have really enjoyed his stay. Eric and Hailey are very sweet people. Feel bad our dog kept peeing on their Christmas tree but over all was a great experience. He gave us daily updates and photos which helped with his daddy's anxiety. :)”

“Our dog only stayed a night but Ron was very accommodating to meeting us beforehand to introduce ourselves and our dog. He was also very flexible with drop-off/pick-up times and provided a lot of feedback throughout our dog’s stay. We’ll definitely be looking at using him again.”
