“Alyssa is the absolute best! She was very communicative, kind, and treated our dog like one of her own. She made sure he was comfortable and well adjusted while we were gone. I especially loved all the pictures and notes she sent of how our dog was doing throughout his stay. We would absolutely book with Alyssa again!!”
“Brittany was absolutely great for us. She provided daily updates and was very flexible with drop off and pick up. Russell loved playing with their dog and kids. Would highly recommend”
“We had such a great experience with Deanna! Louie typically stays with family when we travel, so we were a bit nervous using a sitter. Deanna was so great- she sent text updates and pics, was sweet with Louie and let him be comfortable (as a spoiled dog who is used to laying on the couch with us and sleeping in bed, that’s saying something!) and he was his typically self when we picked him up. So grateful to Deanna for taking such great care of him”
“We always have peace of mind whenever Moose stays with Stephanie. All those random photos that we received while we were away reassured us that he is happy a great time. I can’t count how many times moose stayed with her, but she’s definitely our go-to gal.”
“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! :)”
“Erin was very responsive and kept me in the loop on my puppy’s daily goings on. I appreciated all of the photos she shared. My furry dude was having the time of his life and had a big grin on his face in pretty much all of the pictures. We would love to use her again.”
“I was so very happy with Angie and her family. Taking care of our little chihuahua couldn’t have gotten a better fit. She kept updated you sent photos and she was so well taken care of. I highly recommend her to anyone that wants the best dog sitter available I will definitely use her again if ever needed, highly recommend her”
“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! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Lucy was awesome! Her two young daughters immediately helped Pepper feel loved and welcomed. The whole family was excited and slowly introduced Pepper to the other dogs. I got a photo update every day and Pepper was so happy at pick up :)”
“A genuine sweetheart! If you seek tender care for your fur babies then I’d suggest Miriam, Everytime! In what seemed to be the most difficult time facing home instability she was understanding, patient and responsive before service and beyond with urgency! My Best first experience with Rover.”
“Ali was great! She was super nice and friendly and very easy to communicate with. She is also very accommodating when we had to extend our pets stay for an extra night. She would definitely be our first choice next time we need a sitter for our pets again.”
“Evelyn was so friendly and communicative during the time leading up to our visit that we were already completely at ease before dropping our dog off. During the time away, Evelyn sent photos and kept up to date with how our girl was doing. Would absolutely book with Evelyn again and recommend to all my friends and family.”
“It was my first time ever leaving Bud with a sitter and I was nervous to say the least. Kristy made it feel so organic with his stay and she was very accommodating with the times if my flight. I will be using her again, if not most of the times when I travel. I highly recommend!”
“Jessica and her girls were great to my Lucy and Otis. Jessica sent daily update photos twice a day, morning and evening. She was just the right amount of communicative and provided a great sense of safety while we were away on a trip for five days. Her doggy Rain seemed like a great companion to also get some needed socialization for our Lucy who just loves being around other younger pups. Overall, I would recommend Jessica and her girls to anyone needing a safe place to keep their pups in the KC metro area.”
“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!”
About: I believe pets are family, and I care for every animal as if they were my own. Over the years, I’ve had the pleasure of caring for the pets of family, friends, and neighbors, earning their trust through dependable and compassionate care. Whether it’s sticking to feeding schedules, administering medications, taking walks, or providing overnight care, I’m committed to keeping pets happy, comfortable, and well cared for while their families are away. I love sharing little moments from your pet’s day through photos and updates, so you can feel connected and have peace of mind knowing they’re safe, happy, and receiving plenty of love and attention. I am off work for the summer and my husband works from home 100% of the time so there is always someone home to care for and love on your pet. We go on walks every day and spend a good chunk of the day frolicking in and out and hanging in the backyard. I have a fenced in yard and no stairs to worry about to keep your pet safe or for older pets who have a hard time with climbing stairs. I have two very friendly basset hounds to give your pet additional company😊
“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.”
“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!”
About: I am a dog-loving person who said goodbye to my beloved puggle after 15 wonderful years together. After caring for friends' dogs, I realized how much I missed having furry companions around the house and decided to open my home to Rover guests! I provide a calm, loving environment and are best suited for small to medium-sized, family-friendly dogs of all ages. Whether your pup is playful or prefers a cozy nap on the couch, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. My home has a large, unfenced yard, so all outdoor time is supervised and on a leash. I also live on a quiet dead-end street with very little traffic, making it a great place for safe walks and fresh air. Because I primarily work from home, your dog will have plenty of companionship and won't be left alone for long periods. I treat every Rover guest like they're part of the family and look forward to giving your pup a happy, stress-free stay! I work remote with a flexible schedule, so dogs are rarely left alone. If I do need to step out briefly, I'll follow your dog's normal routine—whether that's being crated, staying in a gated area, or another arrangement you're comfortable with. My home sits on a large lot at the end of a peaceful dead-end street with very little traffic. Although the yard is unfenced, I've always used leashes for potty breaks and walks with my own dog in the past, so supervised outdoor time is simply part of the daily routine. Your pup will receive one-on-one attention every time they go outside, and safety is always my highest priority.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 8. I’ve taken care of a wide range of dog breeds, from pit bulls to winner dogs. I’ve taken care of my own, family members, and neighbors pets as well.

My early mornings and evenings are free. My weekends are also free all day, so if your dog needed more attention on those days I’ll have more than enough time! I do NOT offer care in my home! my housing doesn’t allow pets and rent is too expensive to move. I’ll happily accommodate any other need you have though.

Because I dedicate myself to pet care full-time, my schedule is completely open and flexible. I am fully available for overnight boarding, weekend stays, and daytime visits, ensuring I can perfectly match your pet's normal daily schedule.

I have a secure fenced yard for outdoor playtime and can easily take your pet on long walks if needed. For pets who aren't well with other pets, I will make sure to reserve those days for ONLY that pet. Every animal deserves to be comfortable. I only accept pets that are friendly and comfortable around other dogs during bookings that require more than one pet. NOTE: For safety reasons, I cannot accept pets that are aggressive or lash out at people. Safety is my top priority, and I reserve the right to decline bookings if a pet is not a good fit.

About: My family has had dogs and cats since I was little and they currently have three dogs at home.

I work right down the street from my apartment and will be home for lunch every day. My hours are 8-2 so your animal would not go longer than 4 hours alone each day.

About: Hi! I’m an experienced pet sitter based in the Kansas City area with a background working at two prominent dog daycares. I’m comfortable with bathing and basic grooming like nail trims, ensuring your pet looks and feels their best. In my home, I care for multiple pets from different families at the same time, so please know your furry friend will be part of a friendly, supervised group. We have a spacious house with two living rooms, an extra unused room, and a fully fenced yard, providing plenty of room for play and relaxation. As a pet parent to two senior dogs and a parent to two young children, I understand the importance of safety and comfort.

I currently work full-time as a HR Generalist for a local Industrial Sales company. I work a hybrid schedule so Monday and Tuesdays are in office and Wednesday-Friday are from home. I already try to manage my schedule in sections and like to take a break in the middle of most days to recharge and get outside when it is nice. I could use this time to travel to your locations and offer potty breaks for the animals. I'm pretty open on the weekends without commitments so putting your animal first will always be important. When caring for pets in your home, I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and familiar environment for them. I stick to their usual routine, from feeding times to playtime and walks, ensuring they feel secure and at ease. I maintain open communication, providing regular updates and photos so you can see how your pet is doing. I also make sure to keep your home tidy, following any specific instructions you provide regarding your pet's needs or preferences. Whether it's cuddling on the couch or going for a walk in the neighborhood, I treat your pet like my own, offering love and attention every step of the way.

“We had such a great experience with Deanna! Louie typically stays with family when we travel, so we were a bit nervous using a sitter. Deanna was so great- she sent text updates and pics, was sweet with Louie and let him be comfortable (as a spoiled dog who is used to laying on the couch with us and sleeping in bed, that’s saying something!) and he was his typically self when we picked him up. So grateful to Deanna for taking such great care of him”

“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.

Over the years, I’ve had the pleasure of caring for the pets of family, friends, and neighbors, earning their trust through dependable and compassionate care. Whether it’s sticking to feeding schedules, administering medications, taking walks, or providing overnight care, I’m committed to keeping pets happy, comfortable, and well cared for while their families are away. I love sharing little moments from your pet’s day through photos and updates, so you can feel connected and have peace of mind knowing they’re safe, happy, and receiving plenty of love and attention. I am off work for the summer and my husband works from home 100% of the time so there is always someone home to care for and love on your pet. We go on walks every day and spend a good chunk of the day frolicking in and out and hanging in the backyard. I have a fenced in yard and no stairs to worry about to keep your pet safe or for older pets who have a hard time with climbing stairs. I have two very friendly basset hounds to give your pet additional company😊
“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.”
“Jessica was great! She took such good care of our dog and sent us regular updates. He seemed to enjoy time with other dogs and with the family and she was quick to respond to any communication.”
“So grateful to have found Julia and Rue!! Mia had the best time. I got plenty of updates and felt at ease knowing she was in a safe and loving home! Will 100% be booking again!”
“Second time Louie has stayed with Michelle and Bradley. He loves being there, is well cared for and enjoys their dog, Joni. Michelle and Bradley are clear communicators and great representatives of Rover.”
“Cassie and Ben take such good care of our dog. It's obvious he is well cared for, given lots of attention and love. We highly recommend them.”
“Daniel did an absolutely fantastic job watching my two dogs Quinn (a senior dog) and Phineas (a puppy). He provided the perfect amount of communication and sent some really great pictures while we were away. I was thoroughly impressed by his level of care and would love to book with him again. Highly recommend!”
