“Natalia was very responsive and communicative. She shared pictures of our pup with us, and he always seemed to be having fun. When we picked him up, he was happy and exhausted, which is a huge bonus, as our puppy normally has an overwhelming amount of energy. We'll definitely be reaching out to Natalia again!”
“Emily was absolutely amazing! She agreed to our booking last-minute and was so friendly and welcoming when I dropped off the cats. She provided lots of pictures and videos and gave great updates of our kitties! She was definitely knowledgeable about cats and was very comfortable handling the two different personality types of our cats. She also has a beautiful home with lots of space for your pets to roam around! I HIGHLY recommend to board your pets with Emily! She is worth every penny! So much better than boarding your pets at a vets office! Thank you so much again!!”
“Mo is so great! She was very accommodating - we had some last minute medication to bring and she had no problems with it. We loved that she sent regular updates multiple times day too. Remi had so much fun, definitely recommend Mo to everyone!”
“I was so happy to have found Allen and his wife, in my search to find a great place to leave our two toy aussies, with social anxiety, and our rather large australian/catahoula! They all did so well during their 24 hour stay in their home. The two small dogs that have never been "sat" before, and usually prefer to hide from people, were immediately less apprehensive upon meeting he and his wife. They provide a very clean and welcoming environment, and all three dogs enjoyed their stay! I will surely be bringing them back here, the next time a boarding need arises”
“Elizabeth and Chris were wonderful to work with. We immediately knew that Louie was going to feel right at home with them. We felt very confident leaving Louie in their safe care. We will not hesitate to leave him with them again.”
“Angela was absolutely wonderful! She’s very easy to work with and was willing to let me extend his stay when my flight was delayed. She has a plethora of fun friends that he could play and cuddle with. I only had to bring Ham and his food as she took care of the rest; she ate even wrestled him in his carrier so all I had to do at pick up was scoop him into the car. She’s my go to now for sure!”
“This was our first time using Rover to board our dogs for a weekend at the lake. We were very pleased with Nate and his communication. Would definitely board our dogs with Nate again. Thank you!”
“Super nice and able to accommodate my dog on short notice. My dog definitely had a blast and instantly made himself at home, playing with their dogs and getting cozy.”
“I have only great things to say about my pups staying with Brittney and Adam. First, they were wonderful to coordinate with to do a meet and greet. Second, they’re super flexible and quick responders. Finally, my dogs had a blast hanging out with the crew. It was great knowing they were so well cared for while I was away. We will absolutely be coming back!”
“Gina was GREAT! This was our first time having a dog sitter and she made the experience enjoyable for us all. Honey is not used to being around dogs and she made his introduction to the other dogs very easy and low stress. We were updated frequently with texts, videos, and pictures. Honey looked very happy and entertained with indoor and outdoor activities. She was very responsive and kind. We highly recommend and will use her again. ?”
“Griffin & Gloria were easy to work with! good communication and I feel my lil fur baby was well cared for by them! It was a huge relief to have caregivers you are comfortable with and trust, to take care of your loved one! Thank you G&G! appreciate your help! :)”
“My dog loves staying at Nicole’s. We have used her numerous times and she always sends pictures, videos and updates. My dog turned six while staying with her and she made a special treat and her family sang HBD to her and she sent me a video. I absolutely loved it and highly recommend her. ❤️”
“My puppy, Fancy, was very well taken care of. I’m so happy to have found Courtney, and Rover. I will never board again. Fancy was with a family, getting 24/7 care and love. I was given updates and funny stories about my wild girl. Such a great experience!!!!”
“Lauren was fantastic with Bigs ! Bigs is a 3 year old German shorthair with tons of energy. She let him run around her backyard and he had a great time playing with her dog! She was also very accommodating during pick up and Bigs had a great time. Would definitely recommend her to anyone who is looking for a safe place to board! She also gave me updates while I was away and I really appreciated that!”
“Kristy was amazing!! She sent pictures and updates everyday and was very communicative. She took our pups on an adventure and even went the extra mile and gave one of them a bath. Ranger and Koda had a great time and will definitely be visiting again!!”
“Sarah and Cyrus did a great job taking care of our two dogs. They watched them for 10 days. They walked them and took good care of them. Both dogs seemed comfortable and relaxed in their home. They were very good at communicating and sent me updates twice a day and were quick to respond whenever I asked a question.”
“Cassie and Ben and their family are the best. Our dogs are always so content after they have been to their home. We can tell that they are loved and cared for like their own.”

“Montana did a great job of taking care of our two dogs! She sent daily photos and updates. Out of all the dog sitters we’ve had, she’s the one who provided the most updates and we really appreciate that with having senior dogs.”
“Allison was great with our cats! She communicated and had photos which was nice to see! She is very sweet and attentive! We would definitely choose her for our pets again!”
“We are happy repeat customers of Stacia, our 2 cats are always happy to see her, she takes great care of our pets and our home, couldn’t be more pleased with her work.”
“I could not have asked for a better sitter for my fur baby. Kelli was very detailed with visit information, how my kitty was getting used to them, talking to them and even choosing to get close enough for them to pet her. She even provided litter box and food bowl pictures because my cat is older, on meds and picky about eating. I couldn't ask for a better sitter and would recommend her to ANYONE looking for a pet sitter. I'd give more stars if I could!”

“We could not be more pleased with our first experience using Rover. Marla went above and beyond from the first initial meet and greet to photos and updates from each of her visits making our time away completely stress-free. We know our dog was in great care and we couldn’t ask for more. Thank you, Marla!!!!”
“Elizabeth was fantastic again! One of my cats recently had to start taking medicine twice a day. Elizabeth was so good and patient with her (my cat can be shy) and kept me updated about her taking her meds (so appreciated). It made me feel so much better knowing my cats were in good hands! I am so thankful for the updates & patience with my kitty that had to take the meds. My other cat enjoyed lots of belly rubs! Loved the pics and updates! Fantastic service and so attentive, your pet will be in great hands!”

“Laura was AWESOME! My fur baby absolutely loved her. She took great care of her while I was away. Went the extra mile for her. Couldn’t have hoped for anyone better. Laura is the best!”
About: I became a foster parent for GPSCA at the end of 2020 after adopting my bubbi with them during the summer. I took care of a mom and 3 puppies as my first assignment, all were adopted! <3 A few months after that, I fostered an older dog who had recently had surgery, who also got adopted after a couple of months with me. I love playing with dogs and getting to know all of their different personalities. My bubbi is an old man who loves to just snuggle and play catch with you. He's all about those TREATS too. Recently promoted to a hybrid job, 3 days in person, Mon-Weds. Unlike before where I was WFH. This would take me away for about 8-9 hours on those days. I know it can be scary for a pet to meet someone new. I like to make any dog I'm pet-sitting feel comfortable in its own environment. Whether that means I just sit there until they are comfy with me or abiding my their normal routine, I don't want them to feel out of place.
“Thank you for checking in with our two cats on a last minute booking. They were very happy and chill when my wife and I got back home - and were clearly well fed and content. Very much appreciated!”
“Michelle is wonderful. Besides being professional, friendly, and dependable our cats LOVE her. She took great care of them including brushing and playing. We highly recommend her and we plan to use her for our future pet care needs!”

“Luke and his family cared for my baby for 12 days during my 12 hr shifts over a 4 week period and it went well. It’s very difficult leaving your puppy with strangers and I must say I felt at ease leaving her with Luke and they kept her safe and happy and content. I would use these pet sitters again for sure and I was happy with feeling safe leaving her with them!”

I have a 1 year old golden retriever and a 6 year old beagle. We enjoy daily walks in our neighborhood or venturing out to a local dog park. We will love on your pup like it was our own! I work from home throughout the week. My schedule allows me to be available to give your pet attention and frequent potty breaks throughout the day. I have a fenced in yard and two friendly fur babies that play really well with other dogs. I have a crate available if needed and a dog bed so that your pup is comfortable.
About: I have always had a big heart for all dogs. They truly are man’s best friends! I grew up with 2 dogs of my own, Melbee and Reese. I watched and helped care for them in the crazy puppy and teething stages, the feisty teenager stage, all the way up into the little old lady stage. They were the most loving, sweet dogs and I miss them so much. I think every dog deserves all the love, head scratches, and snuggles in the world and would love to be there for your dogs when you are taking a vacation or will be away! I helped both my dogs with training for emotional therapy support and was there for both puppy potty training courses! I do work Monday - Friday from home, but I am available as early in the morning as you need and then I am avalible after work. If your dog is older and able to come stay at my apartment, I can watch them during my workday! I am also free on the weekends to stop by and care for your baby as much as you need! My apartment complex does not have a fenced yard, however, they do have tons of open space for dogs to play in, lots of walking paths, and are considered to be very pet friendly! There is more than enough space for your dog to get all the walkies and play time they need. In your own home, I will make sure to keep everything exactly the way you need, clean up after both the dogs and myself, and keep your home in top notch condition. I know dogs can get messy sometimes so If you show me where the vacuum is, I will get right to work! Nothing is better than coming home to your favorite pet and a nice clean home!
“Lauren was great! Chicago enjoyed a fun doggy care day! Her place is very clean and the perfect set up for a pup! She had great communication and even sent pictures and updates!”
“Gina is awesome. She took my dog Zeus in very short notice and made my stressful situation peaceful. She is a dog lover no doubt and has a great yard and home that is perfect . She sent me pictures and video updates daily and Zeus had the absolute time of his life playing with her 3 adorable dogs . Each time I bring him to her home he gets so exited as we pull up. He knows he’s going to have the best day with his friends! I feel so blessed to have found Gina for my baby Zeus. Only the best for him and Gina is that!”
“Pablo loves going there ! He gets so excited when we pull up and he literally plays the whole time he's there ! I feel like he's apart of the family when he goes. He always come back home so tired from all his play. Kim is wonderful ! ”
About: Hello! **Repeat Clients get specialized Discount** I am an avid animal lover. I got my first pet when I was 3 years old. It was a kitten named Nicky. He taught me a lot of responsibility and showed me a lot of love. A few years later my my mom added several dogs to the family - miniature Schnauzers, Standard Schnauzer, and a Beagle mix Having these animals in my life has given me great experience and also taught me unconditional love. My previous dog helped me get through the rough days when I lost my mom to cancer. I have learned to care for seniors, animals requiring medication (orally) and how to work with young animals especially puppies. In your employ my top priority will be your pets happiness. Working for you is my only employment and my focus will be on your dog or cat only. They will get my undivided attention and I hope to spoil them like crazy. Since I have dealt with several puppies I can even try to bring some training tips to your dog if needed. Personally, I do still have my pup Julius but he lives with family out in the country loving his best life in open fields He is 12 now, He is my furry angel in he was my little protector. It is so true that not all angels have wings. I would have kept him but I could not afford all of the vet bills when you take care of a pet properly, luckily I have a family member I love so much that was able to provide that. I love spoiling dogs of course with the doggy parental guidelines, this includes specific food regiments and pills. I hope that I will get to meet you and your fur babies soon! I have a very go with the flow attitude, I make any animal I care for #1. I dont work full time, so time for pet care is very important to me. Whatever routine the family has I stick to for consistency. I do have other activities I do but they are always scheduled around my work as a pet care provider. 🙂 In my home I create a safe environment. I'm very aware of other animals around to keep your dogs safety number one priority. Unfortunately in this world people at their dogs off leash and that can be a problem. I have no problem following any regimented food or medication delivered to the animals. Also if I'm in a client's home I would treat it with respect and basically make it look like nothing has changed except your dog has gotten top-notch care. If there's anything specific in the requiring overnight boarding I am more than happy to oblige with that.

My true passion is training though! My father has always trained his bird dogs as well as others and I've just always enjoyed seeing what different breeds can do/pick up on. I work remote and part-time at that, so I have plenty of time to tend to your fur baby. I have a fairly open schedule so I can be pretty flexible to fit your needs! I have a large yard (it's being fenced but is not currently) my 2 dogs and cat would love to play with your baby. We enjoy long walks or just snuggling on the couch. I'll treat yours as my own.

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life! I’ve cared for everything from energetic dogs and independent cats to birds and small farm animals.

About: I've been an animal lover and pet owner my entire life and have been in home pet sitting for over 20 years. I will give your pet the attention they deserve on a daily basis. I am happy to accommodate whatever requests you have in order to take care of your pet. I work in Gardner as a cook at a retirement community. I am regularly available for overnights and drop-in visits. I am typically available to make in-home visits whenever you need them. I'm also able to accept last minute reservations for care. While I do own six cats, they are able to be separated from other animals that I am boarding in my home. I have a very large backyard, it is unfenced, so I would keep your pet on a leash or lead while outside. I prefer to watch animals in their own home, for their own peace and security.

About: Ya know that child that has a heart for anything living? That child that wants to nurture even the wooly caterpillar or the slimy toad? Well, that was me and I’m still that child at heart today. If there was a stray within a 5 mile radius of my home, we’d find each other and become family. To this day, if I see an animal in need I cannot turn away. At the age of 11 I began sitting and walking my Aunt Linda’s Pekingese, Toyboy. Toy and Auntie taught me from a very young age the importance of keeping animals safe and respecting their personal boundaries as well. Animals ARE family members and should be treated as such. I’ve spent ample time as a volunteer in local rescue shelters, fostered adoptable dogs in my home and have always had at least two pets of my own consistently (the most at one time was six, and, honestly, it was a little slice of heaven to me). My personal experience as a pet mom has taught me many things. The good, the bad and the ugly. I’ve managed flight risks, diapered seniors, enforced the cone of shame, nursed wounds and stitches, cleaned up many a pet mess (from both ends) and administered medications. If a pet requires it, I’ve likely done it! One of the best and worst parts of being a pet mom is watching our babies grow older. As they age they change and need even more patience and love. There’s a special place in my heart for the older pets and I’m happy to patiently provide anything they need in your absence. A person is only as good as their word, and if you chose me to care for your babies, you’ll have my word that I will treat them as my own and give them the best of care and attention until your return. After retiring early from my career at 48 I’m finding I have more time on my hands than I can fill and I’d love to spend my extra time providing service to animals in need. Animals bring me a level of joy unsurpassed by any other activity I endeavor. Simply put, they make life worth living. They make me laugh, and laughing is truly the best medicine. I understand the importance of pet safety. I’ve had several personal pets that were lifetime “flight risks” (runners) so I know the importance of keeping a watchful eye on them every moment. Walking is a favorite past time and I’d enjoy the company of your fur babies. I’ll be happy to walk pets, check in on them throughout the day as needed, sit with them if they need more attention or administer necessary medications (I will not administer pills to cats). Having had several senior pets and a dog with cancer that I treated holistically for a year, has made me keenly familiar with senior and special needs pet care. Whatever your pet needs, I likely am able and willing to provide.
About: I grew up on a farm and fell in love with animals by being constantly surrounded by them! I started doing Rover in July, 2024 and I am loving it! I am currently living in Gardner, KS and am a physical therapy student at KU medical center. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide your pets with the care that they deserve. I am currently in school Tuesdays and Thursdays but the rest of the days I have completely free! My fairly open schedule makes it easy for me to give your pups lots of care and attention. To me, quality care for an animal means quality time spent with them! This is a skill that comes very naturally to me because I absolutely adore all animals. Making sure that dogs get proper nutrition, physical activity, and loving is very important to me.
About: I have had dogs my entire life and seriously don't know a life without them. I have two stubborn, little dachshunds who think they're in charge most of the time. They also have two human sisters who they are very overprotective of (they’re 8 years old and 1 year old). My oldest dachshund had surgery for IVDD a few years ago so I am familiar with administering oral medication and providing needed crate rest. I have experience in taking care of puppies all the way up to the more cranky and older dogs. My husband and I work opposite schedules so there will always be someone home with your pup. I'm responsible, reliable, and I promise to treat your fur babies as if they were my own! For boarding, the amount of time your dog is left alone will be very minimal since my husband and I work opposite schedules. I have my dogs to take care of too so I’m used to caring for pets. For drop in visits, I can only do so before 7:30am and after 5pm, unless it’s a weekend. My availability can vary on weekends so just reach out and I’ll see if I can help! I have a fenced in yard for your pets to play in and go potty. I’m also able to crate them if necessary. I will feed your pets separately from mine so there are no altercations.
About: I've had three family dog throughout my lifetime and have helped to take care of them. Additionally, I have dog sat for family friends on multiple different occasions. I am a senior at Pittsburg State University and would love to dog sit, dog walk, or anything else when not actively studying! I am available starting August 20, 2024! I love dogs. I love to play with them and comfort them and keep them company in any weather on any day. I also love to go on walks. I am very attentive to any dog's need and I am ready for any situation.
“Chandra is great with my crazy dog, who apparently is not crazy with Chandra. She is on time and great to work with. Even with last minute walks. The biggest thing is that my dog didn’t bark at Chandra at all when I opened the door. My dog barks at everyone but not Chandra. I think that in itself deserves an A+. We wouldn’t consider going with anyone else.”
About: I've had indoor dogs my entire life. I currently have a 13 year old Senior Beagle and his sister, 10 year old Beagle mix. I will treat your animals with the same care as I do mine. I know what's it's like to be busy and not be able to get home during the day to care for your dog. I will walk, or let your dog out to potty. I will give medication if needed along with check for food/water. I can also text, send pictures during my visit. I currently work from home, which gives me a flexibility daytime schedule to walk, let out to potty and play/interact with your dog or cat. I will show your pet love and care for your piece of mind. I have a fenced yard for my two dogs, but I also see the great benefit in walking them daily. I will gladly come to your home, let your dog(s) out and walk them if you like. I will also take great care to make sure your dog or cat stay safe and keep all doors and gates closed.

“Natalia was very responsive and communicative. She shared pictures of our pup with us, and he always seemed to be having fun. When we picked him up, he was happy and exhausted, which is a huge bonus, as our puppy normally has an overwhelming amount of energy. We'll definitely be reaching out to Natalia again!”
“I was so happy to have found Allen and his wife, in my search to find a great place to leave our two toy aussies, with social anxiety, and our rather large australian/catahoula! They all did so well during their 24 hour stay in their home. The two small dogs that have never been "sat" before, and usually prefer to hide from people, were immediately less apprehensive upon meeting he and his wife. They provide a very clean and welcoming environment, and all three dogs enjoyed their stay! I will surely be bringing them back here, the next time a boarding need arises”
“Elizabeth and Chris were wonderful to work with. We immediately knew that Louie was going to feel right at home with them. We felt very confident leaving Louie in their safe care. We will not hesitate to leave him with them again.”
“This was our first time using Rover to board our dogs for a weekend at the lake. We were very pleased with Nate and his communication. Would definitely board our dogs with Nate again. Thank you!”
“I have only great things to say about my pups staying with Brittney and Adam. First, they were wonderful to coordinate with to do a meet and greet. Second, they’re super flexible and quick responders. Finally, my dogs had a blast hanging out with the crew. It was great knowing they were so well cared for while I was away. We will absolutely be coming back!”
“Gina was GREAT! This was our first time having a dog sitter and she made the experience enjoyable for us all. Honey is not used to being around dogs and she made his introduction to the other dogs very easy and low stress. We were updated frequently with texts, videos, and pictures. Honey looked very happy and entertained with indoor and outdoor activities. She was very responsive and kind. We highly recommend and will use her again. ?”
“My dog loves staying at Nicole’s. We have used her numerous times and she always sends pictures, videos and updates. My dog turned six while staying with her and she made a special treat and her family sang HBD to her and she sent me a video. I absolutely loved it and highly recommend her. ❤️”
“Lauren was fantastic with Bigs ! Bigs is a 3 year old German shorthair with tons of energy. She let him run around her backyard and he had a great time playing with her dog! She was also very accommodating during pick up and Bigs had a great time. Would definitely recommend her to anyone who is looking for a safe place to board! She also gave me updates while I was away and I really appreciated that!”
“Kristy was amazing!! She sent pictures and updates everyday and was very communicative. She took our pups on an adventure and even went the extra mile and gave one of them a bath. Ranger and Koda had a great time and will definitely be visiting again!!”
“Sarah and Cyrus did a great job taking care of our two dogs. They watched them for 10 days. They walked them and took good care of them. Both dogs seemed comfortable and relaxed in their home. They were very good at communicating and sent me updates twice a day and were quick to respond whenever I asked a question.”
“Cassie and Ben and their family are the best. Our dogs are always so content after they have been to their home. We can tell that they are loved and cared for like their own.”
“Brittany was very friendly and allowed a 'meet and greet' before we formally agreed to boarding our dogs with her. We felt like she and her family understood golden retriever personality and activity level. She was great about sending pictures and updates. I was able to relax on vacation knowing that they were in good hands and having fun playing! Will definitely book again!”
“Our dogs spent a week with Steve and had such a lovely time! Steve was very easy to work with and took great care of our pups. Also, if you have a pet with special needs (one of our girls is partially paralyzed and the other needs eye drops twice a day) I would absolutely recommend Steve.”
“We had such a great experience with Dana! She was super dependable and easy to communicate with the whole time. We tossed a few curveballs her way, like meds and the fact that Dante is a newly adopted shelter dog with limited history, and she handled it all with total flexibility and care. Her place is such a great setup for dogs, and her two pups are so sweet and well-behaved. Dante clearly had an awesome time and came home happy. Would definitely recommend Dana to anyone looking for a great sitter!”
“First time using Rover and I felt comfortable immediately after getting to Shelly's to drop off our old guy. Picking him up, it was obvious that he was comfortable and loved while there. It was such a great experience!”
“Carissa took great care of my Nala. Nala hurt her leg a few days before we were going out of town and Carissa was very willing to give her the extra attention she needed! She will definitely be hangout out with Carissa again!!”
“I boarded both my Boys with Matthew during the Thanksgiving break. He was extremely flexible with the pickup and drop off times and communicated very well. He took excellent care of both my boys and provided me with regular updates and photos. I would definitely board my boys with Matthew again and would highly recommend him to anyone need to board their dogs.”
