Personalized care for your dog or cat - Lenexa
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Lenexa
“Nate and the family were great. They made the process simple. We enjoyed receiving a couple pictures and a video over the 3-4 day stay. Once home, our pup passed out from all the excitement he had at Nate’s. Job well done.”
“Kasey was a blessing to an overprotective dog dad on short notice. Very communicative and informative throughout the boarding process and caters her service to your dog’s needs. Highly recommend her services to anyone or anyone’s dog who has seperation anxiety.”
“This was our first time using Rover and we couldn't be happier. We received daily updates and pictures. Our two dogs were happy and tired when we picked them up. Thank you Gloria and Griffin for making this such a positive experience for all of us. We truly appreciate the care and attention you gave Oliver and Bear.”
“We absolutely loved Alyssa!!! She watched our very anxious pup over an extended 4th of July weekend and she was amazing 🤩. We received regular updates and fun photos. I could tell she was getting the lovings she would normally receive at home and that it’s important for us in a sitter. We usually have to medicate our pup due to fireworks and she was able to keep her clam without the meds which was fabulous! I could tell Gigi was sad to go, but rest assured we will definitely be returning customers 🐶❤️.”
“Stephanie was quick responder and saved us from a very stressful last minute cancellation from another sitter. She sent lots of pics and updates from the weekend, putting as at ease. Would highly recommend her! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Karrie is wonderful! She takes such good care of our fur baby, Lexi. Her home is clean which is important to us. This is more than just a job for her. She really loves what she does.”
“Danielle was amazing!! She was available last minute and was just perfect my dog, Iris! Danielle even picked her up and dropped her off with my daughter as we were coordinating schedules. I highly recommend and will book again!”
“Aku had such a blast with Brittany and her family! Brittany is super sweet and put meds in his ear for me, which was a relief since we found out he had an infection right before my trip. Definitely recommend Brittany and her sweet family!”
“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!”
“Thank you again from taking such good care of Lou and Thena! They had a blast and it's so nice to know they are taken such great care of when we go out of town! ❤”
“Kaiya did great and loved the extra attention and buddies to play with. I also really appreciated Kelly's flexibility with our schedule. Would happily book again!”
“Evelyn was great! She sent pictures daily and was communicative about how our dog Jasper was doing! He was well loved and cared for during his stay which is all we could hope for!”
“This was my first time leaving Lucy with a sitter like this, so I was definitely a little anxious. Melissa made the whole experience really easy and kept me updated while I was gone. Lucy came home happy and well taken care of, and I felt like she was in good hands the whole time. I’d definitely trust Melissa with Lucy again!”
“Telicia was a great sitter for our pup. We enjoyed getting photos during the weekend stay and drop off/pick up were easy to coordinate. Our dog can't wait to spend more time with Telicia!”
“Nicole is very friendly. Her kids were very loving towards our pup. She got lots of snuggles. It was convenient and communication was great. Would definitely use again.”

“This was my first experience using Rover, and Emily was the best! She was very communicative, send updates and pictures, and helped ease any fear or anxiety surrounding leaving my little kitties alone. 10000/10 stars for Emily!!”
“Kris did a fantastic job taking care of my cat from the meet and greet to the last day of the booking. Did everything we agreed to and more; including bringing in my mail and replacing my aging litterbox scoop. Professional and caring through and through.”
“Beth has helped me multiple times. She’s always been pleasant, good to communicate with, and most importantly takes great care of my furry family member while I’m away. Thanks Beth for doing such a great job. I would undoubtedly recommend to anyone.”
“This was our first time using Rover and we couldn’t be more impressed with the care our 2 cats received. Liz was very communicative, friendly, and made sure to send a lot of pictures and updates.”
“Lindsey goes above and beyond. This is our second time we’ve had Lindsey watch our cat. Our cat loves her. She sends us detailed reports and pictures and it always makes us feel relieved she is in good hands. Thankyou so much Lindsey!”
“Alison did a great job caring for our two kitties while we were out of town. She was very responsive and followed all the instructions without any issues. I’d be happy to use her again in the future!”
“Devin took great care of our Hunter. Her pics let me know Hunter was doing well and her status reports to us helped me understand what happened at each visit. I will definitely use Devin again when we need someone to check in on our pets.”
“I am so lucky to have found Stephanie. The care she gave Patches/Gilbert was more than I could have hoped for. The daily pics showed me my kitties were being well cared for. She also kept my wild birds fed. I would have Stephanie back in a heart beat. Thank you Stephanie!!!”
“Jane was great at communicating and following the instructions we had for our furbabies! She seems very kind and did a great job. We will definitely be using her again.”
“Jennifer did a wonderful job caring for our three dogs - one of which is a senior dog. She is a great communicator and established a strong rapport quickly with our fuzzy family. We strongly recommend her to anyone needing professional, compassionate care for their pets.”
About: I wasn’t around cats much growing up, but there’s not much I love more than our two girls now. Cats get an unfair reputation, but they’re loving once you let them warm up at their own pace. I’ll feed, scoop litter, play, and brush, whatever helps them feel comfortable while you’re away. Want detailed updates or just peace of mind? Either way, I’ve got you covered. I’ve also fostered a few strays and helped them get adopted, so cats hold a special place for me.
“Thank you soo much Erin for checking in on my Jenni-Girl! Erin is very flexible with time and she is very friendly. Also, she sent me pictures after each visit which made me feel soo much better.”
“Marlee is literally the best. She’s been watching our various animals for a couple years know. She’s always thorough, responsible, and she is a great communicator. I have zero worries when she’s in charge. Couldn’t recommend her more!”
“Faith was a caring and responsive sitter. She stayed with our two cats while we were on vacation for a few days, and throughout her time in our home I felt confident that our little guys were well cared for. Faith sent us updates and pics multiple times a day, and even more when we asked. She followed all of our directions exactly. She stayed with our cats before and after work. What's more, any time she had a question she would reach out for clarification. That is great service. If you are looking for a compassionate, responsible sitter then I cannot recommend Faith enough.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Lenexa
“Our two labs had a great day with Hank and the family. They were two tired pups when they got home. Love the pictures received throughout the day. Plan on sending them back for several more day visits!”
“In very short notice, Kathleen was able to help us with a 12 hour stay for our Dog Jasmine. She was thorough and conscientious in sending me pictures as I requested and updates about Jasmine’s well-being throughout the day. Kathleen and her husband are obviously skilled in caring for dogs and an extra bonus is their experience in training dogs. We were in the city for a wedding, but if I lived there, there is no doubt I would rely on Kathleen for Dog Sitting on a regular basis. She is outstanding! So personable, professional and easy to work with. I felt peace that our Jazzy girl was good hands. Kathleen and Chris deserve five stars when it comes to Dog Care!”
“It was my first time leaving my puppy with anyone and Ashlyn sent me updates and pictures assuring me he was adjusting well. He had so much fun. I will definitely use Ashlyn again when I need a dog sitter!”
About: I am available for drop ins over the holidays! I have spent my entire life around animals! I have extensive experience with cats, dogs, and horses, as well as some experience with small pets, including rabbits, ferrets, and aquarium animals. I am certified in Cat & Dog first aid through the Red Cross, and I have previously worked full-time at a doggy daycare and boarding facility, so I have plenty of experience with all different types of dogs. I am also comfortable administering oral and topical medications, and have limited experience with injected medications. My schedule tends to be very flexible; however, I appreciate requests made well in advance. Please be aware that on a typical day I am ONLY available in the mornings and evenings, not at midday. I have experience taking care of many anxious pets, so I always work hard to make sure that each animal is as comfortable and happy as they can be! During walks, that means sniffing if they want to sniff and running if they want to run. I do not interact with other dogs or people on walks, no matter the friendliness/reactivity level of your dog, to keep yours as safe as possible.
“Nate and his family were absolutely wonderful with my poodle mix Pickles. I received lots of pictures and videos of Pickles having the time of his life. I will definitely rebook Nate to watch after my fur baby in the future.”
“I can't thank Griffin enough for taking care of my dog on such short notice. They were incredibly accommodating and provided excellent care. Highly recommended!"”
“Brittany was great and Ovi had a great time staying with she and her family! Very flexible and personable and made sure every detail about his care was attended to. And their dog Franklin was a great companion for Ovi!”
“I have been using Lindsey for a couple of months now for my two year old golden retriever and she is amazing. She has the best yard and always has friendly dogs for mine to play with. Her communication and accommodation is awesome.”
“Stephanie provided excellent care for Elvis during his daycare! She sent me pictures of him throughout the day. I will be booking with her again!”
“Amma was awesome! Her pictures were amazing and she kept me up to date on how Luna was doing with the pack during the daycare. I highly recommend Anna for anyone who is looking for someone to look after their pup!”
About: Hi there! I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life, and caring for animals has always just come naturally to me. I started walking my neighbor’s dog when I was 13 and have loved helping pets (and their people!) ever since. I have a flexible schedule, which means I can often accommodate last-minute bookings or changing plans. Being on a flexible routine also allows me to spend real, quality time with the pets I care for — not just quick check-ins. I love that I can give them my full attention and keep them happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. Services I Offer I offer drop-in visits, boarding, and house sitting — all with plenty of love, attention, and updates along the way! 🐾 Drop-In Visits: Perfect for quick potty breaks, meals, or a little playtime while you’re out. I make sure your pet gets care, company, and a little fun — not just a quick in-and-out visit. 🏡 Boarding: When your pet stays with me, they’ll be treated like family. We keep their routine consistent, make sure they feel comfortable, and give them all the affection they’d get at home (plus extra snuggles if they want them!). I also have two pups of my own that get along really well with other fur babies. 🛋️ House Sitting: If your pet prefers to stay in their own home, I can stay overnight or as needed to keep them happy and relaxed. I’ll take care of feeding, walks, meds, and light home care so you can travel worry-free. My goal is to give you total peace of mind and give your furry family the love and attention they deserve.
“Taylor is amazing, I felt 100% comfortable leaving my dog with her all day. I knew he was well taken care of, she provided lots of cute pictures. My pup loved hanging out with her dog and others during the day. Will definitely be using her again!”
“Great communications (several check ins, including picture) to let me know my mini goldendoodle Enzo was settling in with the other dogs and doing well during his first day. Enzo was calm and confident when I picked him up - indicating it was a good experience for him too :) Thanks!”
“Andrea and her family did an incredible job of taking care of our old doggie. She kept us informed, sent pictures and was all around great! I would recommend Andrea to anyone who needs a dog sitter.”
“This review is slightly overdue but Megan is amazing! She has been working with my puppy for a few months now, letting him spend the day with her. She is great with dogs, spends time teaching him commands, helped with potty training, the works! I cannot recommend her enough to someone looking for a new rover to care for your pup.”
“Excellent communication prior to the day. Extremely flexible with drop off and pickup times. I can tell our Boston had a great time. She sent pictures of our dog playing his favorite game of ball. Will definitely book again next time we are in the Kansas City metro.”
“Beth was amazing! We met beforehand to make sure our pups got along and she was so kind and accommodating! She sent pictures to keep me updated and filled out the Rover cards everyday to let me know how it went! Will definitely be using her again!”

“Griffin walked our dog Bailey while we were out of town. Bailey looked forward to it everyday!! He is kind and reliable!! We greatly appreciate him and recommend him! Thanks!”
“Jennifer is thoughtful, dedicated, and takes great care of our dog. She’s particularly good at communicating with us about questions and happenings during her visits. Our dog is triggered by other dogs and she does an awesome job managing him, calming him, and loving him. He loves when she visits!”
“Chris was absolutely a wonderful dog walker for our two dogs. He always came on time, and the dogs really looked forward to their walks with him. He is a great communicator so he and my husband were able to communicate through Rover and that was very helpful.”
“Rachael did a great job walking our German Shepherd. She is very professional and our dog loved her. We will definitely be hiring her again for our dog and also my mom’s golden retriever.”
“Gordon, he is very good with my dogs. The dogs are just getting to know him, but they love that he takes them for walks. He is on time & is great to work with. Plus he showed me how to use Rover. I would definitely recommend Gordon.”
“Lilli absolutely wonderful! I book with her pretty much weekly and she is very flexible and communicative when days do/ don’t work! I can tell Archie is well taken care of when she comes to walk him!”
About: I've always had a love for animals. Growing up on a small farm I've had the good fortune to have helped raise everything from cats and dogs to horses and chickens as well as helping my mother with her own pet sitting business for many years while in college. I also have some experience with birds like budgies and cockatiels and had 3 fancy rats. And I'm always looking to learn more about pets of all kinds. But what I have the most experience in is dogs. Growing up I had German shepherds, Australian shepherds, Maltese, Yorkies, and Havanese of all ages from newborn to senior. I've dealt with wild and high energy dogs as well as scared rescues and epileptic dogs who needed extra special love and attention. I'm hoping to be able use my experience and love for animals to help others care for their own beloved furry family members when they can't be there. I work from home so I'm able to be with your fur buddy all day, every day. Only time I might leave is if I need to run an errand but I usually wait until my husband is home so your fur buddy is never left alone. I have a large field right next to my house that's great for walking dogs plus a fenced in patio, great for lounging on nice days. I have 2 cats at home that are always shy at first but come around after a couple hours
“Amber is on time and reliable for every visit. She sends pics and is quick to respond to messages. Gus has warmed up to her and now looks forward to Amber arriving for his daily visits!”
“Iryna was amazing with my senior furbaby. We are traveling for work and staying in a hotel and she literally went above and beyond for my girl. My dog was very nervous due to being in a new town and new surroundings but Iryna really worked with her and my girl is coming around now. She even walked her in the rain. I totally recommend her and will be using her in the near future.”
“Michael was great! Super quick to respond and willing to help on extremely short notice. My boyfriend and I are super sick and he took time out of his evening to come help our puppy get rid of some energy on a long walk. Much appreciated!”
About: I’m often told I love animals more than humans and honestly, that’s pretty accurate. Caring for animals has always been a huge part of my life. I started as a dog walker and pet sitter at just 12 years old, and over time, that passion has grown into years of hands-on experience with pets of all kinds. I currently have a very loved cat of my own and spend my free time volunteering with the Lawrence Humane Society, fostering neonatal kittens, and the Kansas City Pig Rescue Network, which has given me experience with a wide range of animals, personalities, and care needs. I’m comfortable caring for everything from energetic puppies and kittens to senior pets who need extra patience and attention. Whether your pet needs playtime, structure, or just someone calm and caring to be there, I tailor my care to what makes them feel safest and happiest. My goal is simple: to make sure your pet feels loved, comfortable, and secure while you’re away, and that you feel completely confident they’re in good hands. I work in healthcare with a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate quality time and attention to your pet. On my days off, I’m fully available for visits, drop-ins, and extended care. I’m also available before or after shifts depending on the day. I’m very intentional with my bookings and will only accept requests that I’m confident align with my schedule, so your pet always receives reliable, consistent care. I’m communicative and will keep you updated with photos and check-ins. attention to detail are my top priorities. I also have hands-on experience working with dogs and cats at the Lawrence Humane Society, where I’ve cared for animals who are often timid, neglected, or previously abused. This has strengthened my patience and ability to read animal behavior, allowing me to create a calm, safe, and trusting environment. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and specific needs so they feel comfortable and secure. I’m experienced with pets of all ages, including those who need extra patience or a slower approach. In your home, I respect your space and follow all instructions closely. I provide attentive, compassionate care and always keep you updated so you feel confident while you’re away.
About: I’m the sole proprietor for my cat for 5 years, the sole proprietor for my dog for 8 years, and fostered 3 more cats for 2 years before finding loving homes for them. I love animals so much! I have a full time job Monday-Friday 7am-4pm, but I have lots of free time outside of that! My boyfriend also helps me out with checking on the animals while I’m at work! I have a cat, and live in an apartment so if I’m pet sitting it would be best to do it at your home. I love going on walks and to parks, which I do that daily so having a sweet companion to go with me would be fantastic!
About: I have three years of consistent dog-walking experience with the same family and their two dachshunds, visiting three times a week (1 hour walking) without missing a scheduled walk. That long-term commitment taught me the importance of reliability, routine, and building trust with both pets and their owners. I have also provided dog-sitting care for several families, often for about one month at a time, and have cared for dogs of different sizes and personalities. I take time to understand each pet’s normal routine, energy level, preferences, and communication style so they can feel safe and comfortable in my care. In addition to dogs, I am comfortable caring for cats and have many years of experience around horses through riding and handling. This has helped me become patient, observant, calm, and attentive to changes in an animal’s behavior. I genuinely enjoy building a bond through dependable care, play, companionship, and respect for each pet’s individual needs. I currently have a flexible weekday schedule and am usually available Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. I have plenty of time to give each pet calm, unhurried attention and am happy to follow their usual routine for walks, meals, playtime, rest, and companionship. I know how important it is for pets to feel safe and comfortable in their own routine. I take time to learn each pet’s feeding schedule, personality, favorite activities, boundaries, and any special instructions from their owner. Whether I am caring for a dog or a cat, I keep doors and gates secure, handle leashes and carriers carefully, and pay attention to their behavior and comfort level. I also respect the owner’s home, keep pet areas clean, and leave everything as I found it. I am happy to send photos and updates during each visit, so you can relax knowing your pet is being cared for with patience, attention, and kindness.
“Nadia has been an excellent help the last couple weeks since I landed on choosing her as a dog walker through Rover. I was very nervous getting on here and putting my dog in the care of another individual while away on long days working. She has allowed me to be at ease now after our meet and greet and a couple walks so far. She pays attention to my concerns, keeps me updated and informed on her walks, sends me pictures of my dog on these walks, and adores/talks about my dog like she is her own. I can tell when my dog has gotten out of the crate and on an adventure while I was away because she is chipper and happier than she was before when she did not. I can tell Nadia loves her job, is gentle and trustworthy, and I plan on continuing to book her! Thanks SO much, Nadia!!! We love you already!❤️”
