“We have never left Walter with anyone and Tanya and her family took care of him like he was their own. She kept in contact with me to let me know how he doing which I greatly appreciated! He has lots of energy and he is a tired pup after his doggy vacation! We will be using Tanya again!”
“As first‑time Rover users, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Sasha was honest, communicative, and treated our puppy like her own. We loved the photos and videos, and our pup came home even better behaved. We’ll definitely book again.”
“Lilly was GREAT with my little fur baby while I was gone. She kept me up to date with everything that was going on, and my baby looked like she had a blast! Lilly was also so kind to accommodate last minute.”

“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 is AWESOME!!! She sent great updates and pictures of my dog everyday. Super communication and accommodating for my crazy schedule. It looked like my dog had more fun with Kylie’s pack than she does at home. Definitely will book again.”
“As soon as we were going out of town we knew right away we wanted our Honey girl to stay with Aurora and her sweet family! Aurora is quick to send updates with pictures and quick to respond. When we go pick up honey from her stay, she is so well taken care of and tired out from a good time. ☺️”
“Great dog lover! I boarded my dog With Alyssa for almost 3 weeks and she was very flexible with me and sent me pictures while I was away. She really cared for my dog and I would definitely choose her again.”
“Debbie and her husband were very good sitters for our Pomeroy McDoogle. They are well trained in dog care and training. McDoogle seemed happy to be there and was healthy and excited when we picked him up! Nice people. Nice house. Nice knowledge. Nice overall experience!”
“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!”
“A+++ Meghan, Kenny and their family are the best!!!!! We have a 2 yr old golden that is neurotic and hates going anywhere, EXCEPT their place! Our 10 month old sheltie is a spoiled baby and we are so blessed they love and care for her like we would. We get pics daily and sweet updates. I wish there were more than five stars. ????????”

“My dog was very well cared for and came home from his 4 day stay happy and tired! Halie sent pics and videos everyday. It was obvious he was very comfortable and felt right at home. He can be anxious especially when away from home so I am super happy with Halie!”
“My sweet baby Princess was with Chloe and her family for a month due to a sudden family situation. I was given consistent updates with pictures and she was taken care of very well. I'm so happy everything went well and I will be sure to use Chloe again in the future.”
“I cannot say this from the rooftops loud enough, but Kate was amazing! From the moment she got our dog Abbey, I received photos and updates throughout our trip. She was able to spot check a few things at our house when she picked up our dog and even checked on the cat without us asking. We could tell Kate cared a lot about our dog and was very considerate with the time to pick up our dog. We are grateful that our dog loved her and her pets so much, she slept like a rock after their visit! This makes our next stay out of town a breeze, because we know who we are going back to!”

“Leslie took amazing care of James!!! She provided a nice place for him to stay and bring all his belongings ☺️. She had snuggle time with him and introduced him to one of her cats of a similar age and they played well together. James also enjoyed the country view from a large window. We will be going out of town again in the Fall and I have already asked Leslie to care for James again then.”
About: I've been a volunteer at Caring Hands Humane Society for 4+ years, and in January of 2022 I raised a litter of 6 Pomsky puppies! I have a 4+ year old orange Siberian Husky, and I've grown up with a couple family dogs, so I've always been around animals and want to pursue an animal related career! I'm currently working a part time job, and I would love to take your dog for a walk, play with them, or simply keep them company while you're away! I'm available 9am - 9pm Mon, Wed, Thu, but am somewhat flexible on weekends for house sitting. I have a fenced backyard and 2 energetic Siberian Huskies that are very friendly and play well with new dogs; I take them to the Newton dog park often and they absolutely love it! I can provide a crate for a medium - large dog if needed/requested. My dog sleeps in my room with an open crate so she can sleep in her crate or just on the floor. I have plenty chew toys, everything from tennis balls to rope toys to an assortment of squeakers!
About: I’ve had a dog most of my life, but I’ve owned Cavaliers for 15 years. I’ve cared for multiple dogs (and cats) at one time. I prefer to care for dogs in your home. I can also care for fish, chickens and do general housekeeping. I reside in El Dorado, but for the last year, I have been substitute teaching in the Wichita metro area. Therefore, I do have some flexibility in my schedule at this point. I’m able to do potty runs during the day provided the distance allows it. I prefer to care for pets in my client’s home so that the dogs are used to their normal environment and routine. If needed, I can care for a single small-medium sized dog in my home, although the dog must be comfortable being on a leash as I do not have a fenced yard. Also, I am not a smoker or drinker.
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 always had a passion and a big heart for animals. Growing up I lived on a farm, we always had lots of animals around! I’ve taken care of multiple different breeds of dogs. I know what it takes to keep any fur baby happy 😊 simply with lots of love, lots of play time, attention, treats, and of course walks😉 Im currently working part time with a flexible schedule so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups! Im available most days to go on a walk or whatever your needs may be! I currently have one dog of my own who is spoiled with toys and loves to CONSTANTLY play so I can definitely keep up if they are high energy. I love going on walks or simply playing catch in the backyard. You will never have to worry about your animal not getting enough attention, if anything they might get to much! :)
About: I’ve had cats my entire life and have 10 at home now. They are my favorite animal in the world! I will take care of any and all of your kitties needs while you are gone, including giving medications and injections. I will also bring in your mail, put your trash and recycling at the curb, water, plants, fill birdbaths and feeders, and anything else you need while you are gone.
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.

“Meghan & Kenny were wonderful! Yoda, our Bichon Frise was happy and content everyday we picked him up, he went willingly with them each day and that's saying a lot! They are flexible and when I said I was running late they said it was okay, they were warm and friendly and when I am in Wichita, KS I will definitely be looking them up again, highly recommend!”

Our dogs are usually inside hanging out with us and only have to go outside if they want to!
“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!”

“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!”
“My family and I are very glad that we found Keitel to care for Goldendoodle (Meelo). As dog lovers, we always wants to ensure that our fur buddy is taken care off in our absence. Keitel check all the blocks and exceed our expectations. Keitel is not only great with dogs but also very knowledgeable with them. Keitel afford my wife and I the opportunity to meet him in advance for us to ensure that the environment was suitable for our Goldendoodle. Throughout the stay, Keitel and his family treated Meelo as if he was his own. We received regular updates and pictures of Meelo and his new favorite family. Meelo was pampered and well taken care of and our mind was at ease. We can’t wait to rebook you again. I highly recommend Keitel to anyone looking for a doggie day care.”
About: Hi, I’m Michaela, a devoted dog mom to my 5-year-old Cavapoo, Pico, and an experienced pet care professional with 4+ years of dog grooming expertise. Your pet’s happiness and safety are my top priorities, whether it’s dog walking, boarding, or in-home care. I treat every furry friend as if they’re my own, ensuring personalized attention and love. Pico and I enjoy outdoor adventures, and I’d love to include your pup for a tail-wagging good time! Trust me to provide care that feels like home. Let’s make your pet’s day extra special! 🐾❤️ During the school year, I work full-time and have limited time at home during the day. Dogs must be able to go 8 hours without potty breaks. However, they do receive ample time in the evenings to play and exercise. Weekends are spent adventuring with pups! During the summer (May-August), I am home most days and have lots of time to care for all pets! Frequent potty breaks or walks are doable. I have a 5 year old Cavapoo named Pico who will keep all dogs company. He enjoys taking friends along with him on walks, runs, and trail adventures. He is treated as a child in our home, and your pet(s) will be as well! Dogs are allowed on all furniture and beds. Crating is available if necessary.
“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: To me pets are family and that’s How I will always treat them. Im great with puppies and training them, also with seniors, comfy setting I’m currently self-employed employed and your fur babies will have my full attention 24/7. I’m very flexible and willing to work with you, and I will do my very best to make you and your fur babies comfortable. I have a shared yard that is a decent size for your fur babies to go potty, I also live down the street from a park. As long as your babies are with me I will treat them as if they are my own. If you have a list or schedule or anything I have a printer we can print it out or I can write it all down for you, I do whatever you want.
About: I have 30+years of experience with many kinds of animals. I have personally owned: dogs, cats, chickens, ducks, geese, turkeys, guineas, horses and a goat, pig and miniature donkey!

About: I lost my girl in late 2024. Pet sitting for others has really helped my heart to heal. I have always had a dog in my life but I am not yet ready to commit to my next soulmate. I work from home full-time and miss having a shadow with me. Comfortable with meds and needles, as needed. Comfortable with elderly dogs. I work full time from home, so rarely would your pet be alone. I treat your dog like I treated my own. If I run an errand, your dog runs an errand with me (as long as you approve). We might take a walk, we might Netflix and chill, we might swim in the summer, it just depends what your dog “tells” me they wanna do! We have two guinea pigs (who can be separated from other animals if needed). It’s just my husband and I and our teen daughter, who is generally the one our guest dogs sleep with! Fully fenced yard available to use with few steps. Upstairs and downstairs of house but not required to go downstairs if they don’t want to. Crate available, if they are trained or need it. I rarely see the need to use it but require crate trained dogs in case I need it. Common reasons would be during grocery delivery (to prevent escapes while door maybe open), unexpected visitors (if your dog would be uncomfortable, etc.), and such.
“Debbie was thankfully able to watch archie when our sitter couldn’t and had no problems. she understood that i was stuck in traffic and was able to give me all my stuff back the way it was. would've loved a pic of him playing with the other pups but that’s okay not everyone thinks of that in the moment! hopefully can use her again 🥰”
“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!! :)”
“I was really impressed with Halie , she was the first sitter I chose with Rover in Wichita . I always used Rover when i lived in Florida and always had a good experience , I could find someone last minute and the app is very user friendly .I am a nurse and due to the pandemic I work long hours and weekends . Halie was very accommodating and my fur baby Gizmo really liked her . I am always nervous when I have to leave Gizmo , Halie was very reassuring and I felt comfortable with her . She sent me updates and pics while I was at work to keep me informed . I will definitely be using Halle again to watch Gizmo , she is awesome !”

While I may be new to professional dog sitting, I have two wonderful dogs of my own, Rocky (4+ years) and Odie (2 years), who have taught me a lot about pet care. I have had them both since they were 3 months old and I trained them both. I'm passionate about providing a loving and safe environment for all dogs. I look forward to meeting your furry friend and giving them the attention and care they deserve! During December and May, I am available Mondays-Saturday's for dog walking and sitting.

I am available to dog sitting and walking anytime before or after. Keep in mind my hours can change unfortunately, but I indeed will communicate with all my clients. My dogs are the happiest dogs, and they get so excited when I come home. They are very spoiled with many toys, playtime, and walks. We have a big backyard so they go inside and outside whenever they want. They are both potty trained, and Rocky is trained with basic commands such as sit, stay, wait, high five, and lay down.

About: Hi! I’m Camille, a certified vet assistant since May 2023, currently at Wichita State University majoring in Chemistry (Pre-med). I split my time between Wichita and my hometown, Norman, Oklahoma, where I work as a Veterinary Assistant during breaks. I also volunteer on weekends (usually from 11 am to 2 pm, but I’m flexible!). I’m Fear Free certified, which means I use gentle techniques to reduce pets’ anxiety and stress during care. I have personal experience with anxious pets—my own dog, Basco, is a great example, and you can see his cute face on my profile! I also have experience with ferrets, cockatiels, and guinea pigs, having grown up with two as pets and from boarding at Boomer on the weekends. I generally have classes from 9 am to 3 pm, but I’m happy to clarify availability when you contact me. I always leave homes clean and follow instructions, no matter how specific. Whether it’s cats, dogs, or even more exotic pets, I’m here to care for your furry friends, including those with more anxious personalities that may take a little more time and patience. I generally have class from 9 am-3 pm during the week, as mentioned in my profile, and I volunteer from 11 am-2 pm on weekends, though I’m flexible with these times. I’m happy to work with the owner’s schedule as much as I can, whenever needed, to ensure the best care for your pets. When checking on pets, I always announce my presence and greet the animals warmly. I prioritize following owners’ directions and ensure to leave the space better than I found it.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for my own dogs and pets. I’m responsible, reliable, and treat every animal I care for like part of the family. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I’ll make sure your pets feel safe and loved while you’re away. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and overnight stays, and I’m attentive to your specific routines and instructions to ensure your pets get exactly what they need. I’m flexible and available throughout the summer as a way to earn a little extra doing something I genuinely enjoy — spending time with animals! Pet care fits well into my schedule, especially during the summer months when I’m off work. I have a flexible routine and am generally available on both weekdays and weekends. I care for pets like they’re my own—loving, patient, and always sticking to their routines. Whether it’s feeding, walks, meds, or playtime, I follow their schedule closely so they feel safe and at home. You know, the goal is to keep them happy and stress-free while you’re away
About: I have taken care of dogs and cat of every kind since I was 6! All my friends and family have always reached out to me when they need a pet sitter! I am reliable and caring to all fury friends! I am currently in the process of starting my own business! I am responsible for my own time therefore making my schedule very flexible to accommodate any special needs to time frames! I make sure that your pet gets both physical and mental stimulation! I would take the owners directions as to how they want their pets cared for! Other than that I absolutely love playing with all types of dogs as well as taking long walks with them!
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: 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 have spent my whole life surrounded by cats and dogs, both my own and others and have an intense passion for caring for animals the right way! I have basic care skills, but can ensure diligence, active and engaging time spent with your animals, timely care, and commitment to following care guidelines to a T. I know what it’s like to leave your animals in the care of someone else. My personal pet sitters are accustomed to abnormally and intensely detailed printed guidelines with care instructions for my animals, so regardless of how detailed your care instructions are, I have the aptitude to follow them in their entirety plus more to the best of my abilities! I am a medical student in my first year, so I do have the ability to have more control of my schedule. I will continually update my time availability to be accurate weekly. I will not commit something that I cannot guarantee availability for! I will only be able to give care in your home due to living in an apartment complex and having animals of my own. But in caring for my own animals, I am quite neurotic in how detailed and specifically I care for them. I make sure my animals have daily mental and exercise stimulation through playing with toys, walking, and engagement with me and each other. I am adamant about giving my animals affection, and provide them meals in a timely and measured way. I brush all of my animals teeth daily, walk my dogs daily, and clean my cats litter box at least twice a day. I am very attuned to subtleties and changes in my animals behavior to ensure that they are in good health! I want to give my animals the best life and care possible just as I will do for your animals!
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: By age six I was helping care for my family's animals both on the farm and in the home. It was instilled in me that pets and farm animals were to be fed and cared for before anyone else. From tending to horses, poneys, pigs, goats, chickens, ducks, and geese to more domesticated animals such a dogs of all sizes, cats, reptiles, and rodents - I have never lived one day without an animal by my side. I have passed down a love and respect for all wildlife and nature to my children. I would be honored to care for your pet and treat it as if it were my own. I'm currently the pet parent to a 15-pound cat and two dogs - a pit / lab mix that I rescued and a miniature aussie. I'm a widow who, until recently, cared for my late mother who suffered from Dementia. As such, I know first hand how therapeutic animals can be. I'm retired with two adult children and no grandchildren yet - so I can't think of a better way to fill my day than to care for your pet while you're away! I live in a rural setting in Butler County, KS. My animals are fed well and provided fresh water daily. I do not shy away from litter maintenance and am comfortable administering medications or following any health or safety protocols set by the pet owners. I have a degree in education and used to operate my own in-home childcare business. As such, I have a long history of families trusting with both their children and their fur babies!

“We have never left Walter with anyone and Tanya and her family took care of him like he was their own. She kept in contact with me to let me know how he doing which I greatly appreciated! He has lots of energy and he is a tired pup after his doggy vacation! We will be using Tanya again!”

“A+++ Meghan, Kenny and their family are the best!!!!! We have a 2 yr old golden that is neurotic and hates going anywhere, EXCEPT their place! Our 10 month old sheltie is a spoiled baby and we are so blessed they love and care for her like we would. We get pics daily and sweet updates. I wish there were more than five stars. ????????”

“I cannot say this from the rooftops loud enough, but Kate was amazing! From the moment she got our dog Abbey, I received photos and updates throughout our trip. She was able to spot check a few things at our house when she picked up our dog and even checked on the cat without us asking. We could tell Kate cared a lot about our dog and was very considerate with the time to pick up our dog. We are grateful that our dog loved her and her pets so much, she slept like a rock after their visit! This makes our next stay out of town a breeze, because we know who we are going back to!”
“It was such a wonderful experience for our family. From the time we dropped Sunny we experienced the warmth of the friendly dog environment. Sunny enjoyed every bit of her sleep over! I am sure she felt the love and was well taken care from day one! Rover is the place for your family.”
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!
“My dog was very well taken care of at Eric's. I received pictures throughout my trip which was very reassuring. Eric is pleasant, helpful and easy to work with. He was a very good sitter for my precious dog! I'll use him again.”
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.
