“This was our first experience using Rover. Our dog is reactive and didn’t do well at your traditional boarding facilities. That being said, Sara is absolutely amazing. She loved and cared for Jules like she would her own dog. She sent us photos while we were away and even continued Jules’s training for us. We will definitely book with her again.”
“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! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Susan and her family were great sitters! My pup seemed so happy to stay with them, and the photos Susan shared during my trip left me feeling at ease about being away for a weekend.”
“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”
“Since Griffin works from home he was able to provide our pup with the human company he is used to at home. This was important for me. Griffin’s little dog was happy to share space with ours. Easy access to play in the fenced in backyard was especially nice on sunny days. Willy was well-cared for during his stay in Griffin’s home.”
“Chris was able to take Oliver at short notice for a trip I went on. We had a prior meet and greet so I felt comfortable with what to expect. Chris updated me on Oliver and sent pictures. Oliver looked like he had a great time with Chris and Dolly (his pup). He went straight to sleep when I brought him home!”
“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!!”
“She always takes great care of my fur baby! Her and her family are wonderful. She keeps me updated, and I know my pup feels right at home with her and her family! Ms. Derrika is the best!”
“Dana was excellent! She understood the needs of our Labrador dog, and met them perfectly. Her house and yard were tidy. Her dog is friendly and a great playmate for our dog. All communication with Dana was clear, concise, and prompt, and we received updates and photos throughout his stay. We came back to a very happy pup and would gladly use Dana's services again.”
“Brandi and her husband were wonderful to interact with. She did her best to assuage my guilt for leaving my beloved dogs for a week, sent a lot of photos about their fun experiences and even provides some much needed training (to the dogs and me). Because Brandi had known Feliz when he was at KCPP, she was able to fill in his back story for me. That is priceless. She's wonderful to work with, cares passionately about the care she provides and does a stellar job. I hope that if I need to board my babies again, she'd be willing to work with us.”
“Jessica and her family were great and treated our dog just like their own. We will definitely be booking with her again. Thank you for giving us updates throughout her visit! We so appreciated it.”
“Loving caring home. I am a Tiger fur baby mom and I felt completely comfortable leaving Daisy with Linda. She was very flexible and Daisy was happy and well taken care of. Linda’s home is very pet friendly and it was obvious she loves dogs!”
“Crissy’s place was perfect for Eugene! She had small older pups with their own ramp to get on the couch! She sent a couple pics and it was a smooth overnight!”
“Rhiannon was absolutely wonderful with Eloise, especially given it was a long stay on short notice. We so appreciated her care so we could travel knowing our sweet, high-energy girl was in great hands.”
“Cassie and Ben and their kids are the best! I know Berkley is loved and well cared for while I'm away, and I can't say enough good things about them!!!”
“We loved Stephanie! All correspondence, meet & greet, drop off and pick up were all positive experiences. She even sent a photo of our dog each day of our trip. I felt 100% comfortable having our fur baby in Stephanie's care. Highly recommend.”
“Angie exceeded our high expectations. She's very detail oriented and took the care of our dog very seriously. We got daily updates which put our mind at ease. A truly loving home for your pup!”
“Erin and her family were absolutely wonderful with our Frenchie, Roxy. Erin kept us updated with sweet photos and messages, and it was clear that Roxy felt right at home. She came home happy, relaxed and clearly cared for. We’re so grateful to have found such a kind and responsible sitter, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book with Erin again. Highly recommend!”

“Sharon did a great job. My kitties were happy when I returned home. In the past one of them would have behavior issues, not using box, when we were out of town. Having Sharon spend an hour a day with them solved this problem.”
“Rachel was the perfect fit for my cat Ruthie! She connected right away with her. I love the report card details of observations Rachel made as well as the photos or Ruthie I received from her while I was away. I would highly recommend Rachel and Rover in general. What a wonderful service they provide with wonderful caregivers!”
“Bones and Margie absolutely love Christina! Shes always on time and with me working over an hour a way shes someone i can trust. Highly recommend her for your fur babies!”
“Melissa is exactly the sitter every pet owner hopes to find. From the moment I reached out, Melissa set the tone for what turned out to be a genuinely stress-free experience. She responded quickly to my initial message and stayed communicative throughout — consistently sending updates with her photos. What really impressed me was how adaptable she was. When an unexpected schedule change came up on my end, she handled it gracefully and found a solution right away — truly resourceful in the best way. Reliability matters most when you’re trusting someone with your pet, and Melissa delivered on every front. She showed up when she said she would, followed care instructions carefully, and went above and beyond to make sure my cats felt comfortable and loved. If you’re looking for someone dependable who actually communicates and genuinely cares — look no further. Melissa has a returning client in me. 🐾”
“Kaci-Thank you for taking care of our 2 kitties while we were gone! They seemed happy and content when we returned. We loved all the cute photos! Great communication from the start, meet and greet and making sure the "girls" were loved. We would hire again for sure!”
“Ella did a great job with our kitties. She was consistent and reliable, and she always sent the cutest pictures of our very shy cat, which made me laugh and was so appreciated. I would definitely recommend her to anyone needing someone to stop in and care for their cats! We also had a lot of unexpected packages (registry gifts we weren’t expecting) and she brought them inside for us which was very kind.”
“Chandler was great! She responded quickly and left detailed notes every day on my cat. She also drove to check in on her during a really bad snowstorm so she’s awesome and I will be using her in the future! ?”
“Monica provided great care for my cat like she always does. she provided pictures and videos of him and also gave updates as she did the drop ins. Monica administered his insulin well and with care! My cat loves her!”
“This was our first time using Nicole and we loved her! Gave great updates, sent pics and even checked on our basement to make sure it was dry after a storm/power outage. We will definitely use Nicole again!”

“Lori was fantastic with our kitties and on short notice was able to accommodate our travel times. She was able to get our very shy cat to come out and even pet her...this happens with almost no one so she has a special touch! We will definitely being contacting Lori again.”
“Rachel did a great job watching out for my cat when I was out of town on a business trip. She lives near by so it was easy for her to drop in. She played with my cat, feed him, scooped his litter, & petted him. I'm planning to use her services again the next time I have to go out of town.”
“This was our first time ever hiring a pet sitter so we didn’t quite know what to expect. We picked Lindsay based on her profile and reviews and we liked that she lived really close. We met her and immediately knew that she would be great with our two cats and dog. They all immediately took to her as well which was a great sign! We only did a two day one night trip but we will definitely look forward to having Lindsay watch our pets again! She communicated how they were doing and sent lots of great pictures. Thank you so much for taking such good care of our pets while we were able to go on a quick trip. Looking forward to longer trips in the future and I’ll know that our pets are in great hands!”

“This was the first time I had used Kaitlin for a doggy daycare visit for my pup Addie. Kaitlin took great care to re-introduce Addie to her puppy and I really appreciated that. Kaitlin kept me updated during the day. And Addie settled right in and seemed right at home. Will definitely use Kaitlin again. Mary Ann Anderson”
“Christine and family were great with my Beagle mix Waylon for a quick weekend boarding. Timely updates and plenty of pictures. Thank you so much!”
“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!”
“Stephanie is absolutely wonderful!! She and her sweet family went above and beyond to accommodate our very playful puppy and was sending updates frequently which I really appreciated. Our doggy is a very happy and tired boy after a full day of fun with them! Would absolutely recommend her for any dog owner looking for a sitter to look after them as if they were her own!”
“Stephanie is a great communicator and very patient with all of our concerns for her first visit with her. Frankie had a great day and came home happy and tired from the day of play (that she loves). We are so glad to have found Stephanie and appreciate her beautiful attitude!”
“Ron did a great job accommodating my 10 month old standard poodle who can have a lot of energy at times. The other two dogs that we're also staying for day care on this day were a great match for Link. It is obvious that Ron loves the company of dogs and I plan on having Link visit him for daycare each week! Link came home happy, well cared for, and calm.”
“Jennifer did a wonderful job caring for our bulldog. He loved her so much and her space was just the right size with a fenced in yard. Highly recommend her and will 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!”
“Clementine loves staying with Melissa and her family. They do such a great job with her and are great communicators. They are my first choice for doggie daycare!”
“Thank you so much for taking such great care of him. He loves hanging out with you. It's funny because we will tell him where he's going in the morning and he gets so excited!”
“So glad to have met Ramon, and his dog, Dante. He took fantastic care of my dog, and even took him for a walk! After work, I brought a happy and tired dog home! I already have other dates booked. Thanks again, Ramon.”
“Allison was fantastic! Ozzie adored her and her dog, and by the third day when I told him he was going to see her he got excited. She kept me updated with lots of photos and was also very understanding of my shifting drop-off and pick-up hours due to the nature of the daytime event I was working. I will definitely be sending Ozzie to stay with her again in the future, and would recommend her to anyone.”
“Rachel was awesome! She answered my request fast, and accommodated watching my dog on very short notice. She sent me pictures right away, was communicative and super sweet. Will definitely be using her again!”

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life, but what really sets me apart is hands-on experience actually raising and training one myself. I grew up training my German Shepherd from a young age, which taught me patience, consistency, and how to understand dog behavior, not just watch them. As a student athlete, I’m very active, so I naturally bring a lot of energy to walks, playtime, and keeping dogs engaged. At the same time, I understand that every dog is different, some need structure and training, while others need calm, gentle care, especially seniors. I’m comfortable reinforcing basic training, handling larger or high-energy breeds, and making sure pets feel safe and understood while their owners are away. I don’t just “watch” dogs, I genuinely enjoy spending time with them and building trust. As a college student athlete, I keep a very structured schedule, which actually makes me reliable and consistent when it comes to pet care. I plan my days around responsibilities, so I make sure pets are fed, walked, and given attention on time. I also work part-time at a golf course, but I’m looking to spend more of my free time doing something I enjoy, being around dogs. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because it gives me a break from school and sports while still staying active. Whether it’s morning walks, afternoon check-ins, or evening care, I’m used to balancing multiple commitments and staying dependable. I focus on keeping pets comfortable by sticking as closely as possible to their normal routine, feeding times, walks, play, and any training habits they’re used to. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of both the space and the pet’s environment, making sure everything stays clean, safe, and stress-free. I give dogs plenty of attention, exercise, and supervision, and I always keep owners updated so they feel confident their pet is in good hands. I’m especially attentive to energy levels and behavior, whether that means getting a high-energy dog out for a long walk or just spending calm time with a more relaxed or older dog.
“Ron has walked our dog several times during the day. We appreciate his punctuality and ability to help on short notice. He came to meet our dog before the scheduled walk and we really appreciated it. Good communication as well.”
“Melissa went above and beyond!! When our little dog needed to get to the vet unexpectedly, Melissa got him there! Kind heart, great care and very conscientious!! Thank you Melissa!!”
About: I have cared for my friend’s dogs while they are away many times. I enjoy providing animals with enrichment and making sure they get ample exercise. I am careful around new dogs to let them show me what kind of care they prefer, and strive to make my time with them as enjoyable as possible for both of us. I have full time evening employment. I am available to care for pets Sunday-Thursday 9am to 2pm (meaning my latest available visit would start at 1:30pm for an 30 min visit), and All day Fridays and Saturdays! I have lots of experience with sneaky animals who love eating things they are not supposed to eat or hiding in places they should not be. I am diligent with putting away foodstuffs and making sure doors/ screens are shut. Please let me know if your pet has these behaviors so I can be prepared before the visit.
“Emily went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable since we are new to having a dog walker. Emily’s updates and pictures were fantastic. Cyrus loved her snuggles and pets! He was nice and tired after a 2 mile walk.”
About: I take my dog (Louie) on walks daily, so I would love to add your dog to our routine! I’ve been dog sitting for 20+ years, in addition to my family always having at least one dog. I personally love smaller dogs. I have experience with rat terriers, cavapoo, yorkies and cavalier king charles breeds. I love pets and think they’re so important to a family! Let me help you keep your pet happy and healthy 😁 I live on the Plaza so I’m in a very walkable part of town, near many parks. I walk my dog in the evenings after work - a quick workout for both of us. We love to walk around Kansas City together! When I’m home, Louie is always right by my side - on the couch, in bed or even while I’m cooking. I crate him most nights and while I’m at work. I live in an apartment so walks are very necessary - we go on at least one a day or we run in my apartment’s dog park. Would love to add your dog to the mix!
“Came over the day before to meet Sawyer. Went for walk on trail near my house even though I said they could just walk the neighborhood. Went above and beyond, would book again!”
“Ava does a wonderful job with Truly. She's been walking her daily for the past weeks, and is always punctual and professional. Comnunivation has been clear and easy, and Truly seems to love her walks!”
“Having you for an hour a day has been a godsend and let me get so much work done!!! The pups love you- god forbid anything happen to me parental rights go to you they don’t love anyone but me as much as they love you ! I kid. Or do I … 🤣”
“Amber has been absolutely wonderful with my dog! She is communicative, shows good judgment and is excellent to work with. We are very thankful for her walks and attentiveness.”
“Kimball is wonderful! She happily met our pup beforehand and was very professional and attentive to her needs. She did a great job of walking her and loving on her, making sure she got a good walk in while we are at work.”
“Chandler was wonderful. Alton loved her right away, and he’s usually a good judge of character. Not only was she fantastic with Alton, she was easy to work with and sent so many great pictures! Highly recommend.”
“Sarah has been a staple in our house for almost a year now! She’s so great with Milo and he loves his walks with her. She is so responsive to every message and always sends cute pictures at the end of every visit :). Couldn’t recommend her enough.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, from high energy German Short Hairs to 100 pound labs, I’ve cuddled and handled them all! I’m also a huge cat lover and have cared for pals cats as well as my own. I care for any animal how I care for my own, with patience, love, and attention to the ways they work to speak to us! I’m flexibly available, with proper notice through the summer I can make full time care work. Come the Fall I will have classes but beyond that I can work both weekends and week days! I always care for animals with attention to details. Every animal is different and I would look for guidelines from owners! I believe in leashes outside of the home all the time, including harnesses or muzzles depending on what the animal may require. Checking for potential hazards such as fencing, other animals, plants, poisons, sharps is equally important to me. Ultimately animals throw us curve balls, I feel very comfortable transporting animals for emergency care as well.
About: I've had dogs and cats my whole life. My husband and I currently have 3 cats and 2 dogs of our own - all rescues! We tend to gravitate towards the more challenging types, (older, behaviorally "challenged", or generally the "once you get to know them, they're really sweet" type). I've managed two different Doggy Day Care facilities: one here in KC, and another in White Plains, NY. I've also got years of experience working with dog rescue groups here in KC. Because of all this experience, there's no pet I can't handle. I'm comfortable with dogs and cats of all shapes, sizes and attitudes! My current full time job is 100% remote, so I'm very flexible when it comes to your pet care needs, (pop-ins or longer stays. As long as you have wifi, I'm good). From my time working in professional pet care, I'm very used to all types of situations. I free-feed my own pets, but I have no problem following your feeding/care schedules, or maintaining a medication regimen.

About: Animal lover with a racing addiction. If you would like me to give your pet an all-out exercise (while keeping them happy and safe of course) I am a great escort. I have always had dogs and an very comfortable making friends quick with dog speak through chase-and-run-away games, gentle mannerisms, and the best pets. I work best with high-energy animals but can always take any of your furry friends on a nice walk too I usually do 7-12 mile runs for my latest race training 2x a week. A mile or two with your furry friend is an easy pit stop for me. Anything shorter or slower is just as fine. I have 3 years of experience caring for patients in hospitals, so I am very equipped to help your dog in any situation. I have only been dogless for maybe 2-3 years in my life. I currently live without pets so I’m just looking for someone to let me borrow theirs!
“Mary was amazing! I have two big dogs that have completely different needs and she catered to both! I highly recommend Mary for your dog needs, regardless of what the needs are! She sent many pictures and the dogs truly had a wonderful time. Thank you so much for your individual care and attention to my pups!”
“Jessie was great! She treats your dogs like family and gives daily updates on how your pups are doing. It brings such comfort knowing your dogs are being taken care of and loved.”
“Laura was the absolute best! Took in my anxious big baby pittie and loved him from the first second. My boy seemed so comfortable and Laura provided pictures, videos and updates during my 24 hours away from Blue. I couldn't be happier or have asked for a better person to care for my boy 💙🩵”
“Erin and her family were absolutely wonderful with our Frenchie, Roxy. Erin kept us updated with sweet photos and messages, and it was clear that Roxy felt right at home. She came home happy, relaxed and clearly cared for. We’re so grateful to have found such a kind and responsible sitter, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book with Erin again. Highly recommend!”
“We had such a wonderful experience sending our pup over to Jill's. They are a family of dog lovers and have obvious enthusiasm in caring for all dogs! Jill sent me regular updates and pictures while we were away, and was overall a great communicator. Her two dogs are very sweet and we so were glad that Rocky had playmates, both dog and human, during her stay.”
