“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 🐶❤️.”
“Brittany was so great, fast responses every time, Norman had a great time, I was afraid he wouldn't want to come home with me, their dog was so nice, Norman had a great time playing with him. So happy that he got so much exercise and fun while I was away.”
“Angie C is the best. She gave my Bailey the best experience for her first time away from home and me. Angie and her family gave her so much love that Bailey cried when it was time to leave. Angie sent me pictures everyday, even gave her a bath and took her for walks. I recommend her 100%.She was amazing!”
“Deanna was fantastic! She was quick to respond and a excellent communicator. Our boxer girl was so happy and exhausted when we picked her up, it warmed my heart! I would highly recommend Deanna.”
“Erin was absolutely amazing at caring for our dog while we were away. She and her husband showed him so love, treated our dog just like he was part of their family. She sent multiple pictures/videos each day. We will definitely be using her again.”
“Lucy is SO wonderful! She is flexible, communicative and welcoming. She made sure our shy girlie was comfortable and well taken care of. She provided photos daily and sweet updates! Whether you’re leaving your dog with her for a day or a week, he/she will come home happy and tired!!! 💛”
“We were in town with our pup for a few days and were looking to get out for a day and were able to get a last minute booking with Griffin to dog sit and he was terrific with our Milo. He sent us frequent updates along with photos to put us at ease so we could enjoy our day in the city. Highly recommend!”
“Our puppy Louie seemed to have a fantastic time with Kristy and her family! Kristy was very responsive to questions, sent daily update photos and was flexible regarding drop off and pick up times. Will certainly use again!!”
“Stephanie is the perfect person to watch our dogs. They immediately felt comfortable with her and the pics showed how happy they were during their stay. Will certainly get in touch with Stephanie the next time we need help!”
“Evelyn was great! My two bulldogs boarded with Evelyn for one night. One of my dogs is anxious in new places and Evelyn did her best to ease his nerves. She was so successful that he barely left her side the next day when she was working from home. 😆 She had all their items ready to go at pick up & helped me get all the items loaded back into my car.”
“We had an amazing experience with Nicole and her family. She was so responsive, flexible, and communicative through the whole process. She has an amazing back yard with plenty of room for the dogs to run around. We received updates and pictures throughout our dogs’ stay, and it was clear they were completely loved on by her and her family!”
“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.”
“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! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“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.”
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😊
“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!”
“Kasey did amazing with our Scuttle and all dogs that come in her care. She is truly a dog saint and treats them all like her own. She is so passionate about taking care of your pup and all the pups are soooo happy in return!”
About: As a lifelong animal lover and experienced pet owner, I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free environment where your dog feels right at home. I have experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities, as well as cats. Beyond caring for my own pets, I've worked with rescue organizations as a foster, helping dogs transition into loving forever homes. That experience has given me patience, confidence, and the ability to care for pets with a variety of temperaments and needs. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, belly rubs, or simply relaxing on the couch, I'll tailor their care to match their routine. I'm comfortable with feeding schedules, administering basic medications if needed, maintaining exercise routines, and providing plenty of love and attention while you're away. I work with a flexible schedule, allowing me to provide attentive care throughout the day rather than leaving pets alone for extended periods. You'll also receive regular updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your furry family member is happy, safe, and well cared for. I know every pet is unique, and I look forward to getting to know yours and treating them like one of my own. Every dog's ideal day looks a little different, and I do my best to match their routine so they feel right at home. Because I work from home, your dog will have plenty of companionship throughout the day instead of being left alone for long periods. Mornings typically start with a potty break, breakfast (if that's part of their schedule), and some playtime or a walk. Throughout the day, dogs can relax inside our spacious home, enjoy supervised time in our fenced backyard, or play with my two friendly dogs if they enjoy canine companionship. My older dog, Colby, is calm and loves to lounge around, making her a great companion for senior or more relaxed dogs. Swiss is younger, playful, and always happy to have a buddy to run around with. Whether your dog prefers to play or simply nap in a sunny spot, they'll have a companion that matches their energy level. The evenings are all about more outdoor time, cuddles, dinner, and winding down before bed. My goal is for every dog to feel like they're on their own little vacation while you're away. Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priorities. My home provides a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment with plenty of room to relax and explore. We have a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely play, stretch their legs, and enjoy supervised outdoor time. Inside, there's plenty of space for dogs to spread out, nap, or simply be part of the family. I carefully introduce new dogs to my own pets to ensure everyone is comfortable. My two resident dogs are well-trained, friendly, and accustomed to sharing their home with visiting dogs through my rescue and fostering experience. Because I work from home, I'm able to provide frequent potty breaks, monitor playtime, and give each dog the attention they deserve throughout the day. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, young, or a senior, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved during their stay. I understand that every pet has unique routines and preferences, and I'm happy to accommodate feeding schedules, medications, favorite toys, and any special instructions to help them feel right at home.

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. I would take them on long walks, give them many pets, bathe them, and I know how to feed them their meds. I’m also great at cooking dog food! I’m currently working part time and going to college. 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.
“Stephanie was amazing! She was just what we needed for our buddy! Our fur-baby was in the best hands! 🐱Our baby highly recommends Stephanie to give scratches and pets to any of his friends!”
“Noelle was simply phenomenal! I really appreciate what great care she took of my kitties, including daily meds for one of them. Very responsive and professional. I highly recommend booking with her!”
“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!!”
“Grace took very good care of my cats while I was traveling. She sent pictures and a summary of activities every day. Grace also was quick to respond when I sent additional requests such as treat behavior and access to fresh air. I got home and my cats were crowded around the door, happily expecting a drop in visit. Thank you so much for hanging out with them.”
About: I've taken care of and owned cats my whole life! I have been trusted by friends, family, and neighbors to take care of their cats for more years than I can count. I'm very experienced in feeding, watering, administering medication, and cleaning litter boxes. Cats are very picky about which humans they like, and I am proud to say they've always chosen to spend time with me!
“Anna is great! She watched our cat for a week, sent us lots of pictures, and even brought some unexpected packages in for us. We will definitely use her again next time we leave town!”
“Mackenzie was so amazing! She stayed right on schedule and made sure to communicate with me each day and even helped me recognize that i incorrectly scheduled her assistance plan and got it all squared away for me. Will definitely be requesting her services again!”
About: My family has had dogs and cats since I was little and they currently have three dogs at home. Unfortunately I moved so I don’t get that animal love that I want and I don’t have a pet of my own here. I would love to take care of your animal(s) and treat it like it’s my own! 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. I live in an apartment, but it has a dog park that I have taken many dogs I’ve sat for to! I also live close to a walking trail and it’s perfect!
About: I've been around cats my entire life and have experience caring for cats of all ages, from playful kittens to senior cats. I understand feline behavior, respect each cat's individual personality, and strive to provide loving, reliable care that helps them feel comfortable and secure while you're away.
“Ryan has excellent communication and is so great with our dogs. He’s been incredibly flexible and accommodating to our ever-shifting schedule. We would highly recommend him!!”
“This was our first booking with August and it went very well! Thorough updates after every visit to include making sure to locate them in their various hiding spots for pictures of our two elusive orange bois. August made sure to spend passive time with them in the house to make them feel more comfortable as well considering they weren’t inclined to play. Our trip went so much better knowing they were well taken care of.”
“Kylee was a WONDERFUL Rover sitter! She was on time based on our agreement every day, she treated my pup like her own, and sent the best pictures! I will definitely book her again! (Once Coronavirus allows me to get back to business as usual).”
“Victoria’s help was fantastic. My younger dog had never acted out before and she did this time, unfortunately. Victoria handled everything like a champ. Victoria follows instructions exactly as needed and is great with the updates.”

About: Please claim a a spot for the holidays early :) I have 2 years of dedicated pet care experience looking after a variety of breeds. I focus on creating a safe, fun, and stress-free environment for your pets while you are away. I love providing long walks, plenty of playtime, and lots of individual attention. 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 love taking care of animals, and nothing is more important to me than making sure every single pet feels loved and safe. 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.
“Always the greatest feeling to leave Kayla or Winston with Stephanie, who absolutely loves her. When both dogs are dragging you to the front door to get inside it’s always such a good feeling.”
“Anna and her team did such an amazing job taking care of our furbaby! They were super easy to communicate with and we’re always willing to provide updates with pictures included about our pups. They provided the best of care for our pup and had an array of places for him (fenced in) for him to run like crazy! They even have a designated dog area in their home! I was so happy that my dog (who normally is never relaxed when he’s away) was actually able to lay down and sleep! Truly amazing work and I’m so excited for our next booking!”
“Victoria was absolutely incredible with my puppy. She sent me photo updates throughout the day and gave him plenty of attention. He was so worn out after his day at Victoria’s he was asleep before we got out of the neighborhood. Will definitely be booking with her again!”
About: I have always a dog of my own since I was a kid. And I am that friend/family member every one leaves their dog with when they travel. I can do doggy daycare, boarding, and drop in. For puppies under 2 years I prefer they sleep in a crate for overnight. Send me any questions you may have. I work at home, so I am always here. You can send me any questions you may have. Your fur baby will have plenty of attention! I have a fenced yard, and a friendly dog. Your fur baby will have fun, get fresh air and exercise, and indoor play as well. I really like to do a meet and greet before hand to make sure to be a good fit for your dog.
“This was our first time using Rover and Greg was awesome!! He kept us informed with texts and pictures throughout the days. My boys had a blast hanging out with him all day! Will definitely be rebooking.”
About: My name is Andia Cain. I have a degree from Kansas State University in Animal Science Production and Management! I have a black lab named Oscar that I’ve had for 12 years and a Golden named Crew that I have had for 2 years! I have worked in multiple vet clinics so I have a lot of medical experience when it comes to animals. I promise your pet will be safe with me! I work from home all week except for Tuesdays and Thursdays (half day). I have a very flexible schedule that I am able to work around to ensure all animals in my care get the attention they desire! I absolutely love going for walks with my dogs so if your dog loves exercise then we would be perfect! I am living in an apartment but I will still make sure your dogs needs are met!
“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!”
“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.”
“Griffin took fantastic care of our baby. She was so excited to hang out with them everyday and play. She has been so much more confident around other dogs and people since. Would recommend them to anyone!”
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 my dogs since I was a teenager! I usually take care of friend’s and family’s dogs as well. Dogs are usually pretty easy going to get along.

About: I've been fostering the last few years and have experience with all sizes and types of dogs. I'm great with puppies and provide a calm routine. I work from home and as a rule don't leave my dog home alone for more than 4 hours when I do go out. My partner and I have a good routine of taking our dog Charlie out to play in the morning and evening in the back yard. I'm around all day for potty breaks. I have a fenced in yard and a very calm home environment. I have a 35 lb dog, Charlie who sleeps all day while I work. We live in a quiet neighborhood that's great for walks.
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.

About: I grew up with dogs and all of my kids have dogs, so not only am I a grandpa, I was a dog grandpa first! I also sit and love cats. They always find me.

I take walks and would love to walk your pups but also can follow your guidelines doing the best to keep their routine. I work from home but occasionally have appointments outside of the home, so I am very available to work with your schedule. I will share my schedule with you when booking.

“Michael's been such an asset to our family. I have to travel for work sometimes, and can be away for months at a time. Knowing Michael will be there to walk our girl gives me such peace of mind. And getting photos from their walks really makes my day when I am feeling homesick. Thank you, Michael!”

I will keep feeding, walks, and playtime consistent with their normal schedule so they feel comfortable and settled. Since I’m home most of the day, they get plenty of attention and play. Most importantly they aren’t left alone for long periods. We also have a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely run and play.

“James was walking my dogs for almost 3 weeks. He was remarkably punctual . I have two large dogs and James was able to handle them both at once. He was great with my dogs and they loved him, they are still watching the door waiting for him to come and get them for a walk. I would certainly recommend James to anyone who is looking for a responsible and punctual dog walker. I will definitely use his services in future.”

“Evelyn was great! My two bulldogs boarded with Evelyn for one night. One of my dogs is anxious in new places and Evelyn did her best to ease his nerves. She was so successful that he barely left her side the next day when she was working from home. 😆 She had all their items ready to go at pick up & helped me get all the items loaded back into my car.”
“We had an amazing experience with Nicole and her family. She was so responsive, flexible, and communicative through the whole process. She has an amazing back yard with plenty of room for the dogs to run around. We received updates and pictures throughout our dogs’ stay, and it was clear they were completely loved on by her and her family!”
“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.”
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😊
“Kasey did amazing with our Scuttle and all dogs that come in her care. She is truly a dog saint and treats them all like her own. She is so passionate about taking care of your pup and all the pups are soooo happy in return!”
About: As a lifelong animal lover and experienced pet owner, I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free environment where your dog feels right at home. I have experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities, as well as cats. Beyond caring for my own pets, I've worked with rescue organizations as a foster, helping dogs transition into loving forever homes. That experience has given me patience, confidence, and the ability to care for pets with a variety of temperaments and needs. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, belly rubs, or simply relaxing on the couch, I'll tailor their care to match their routine. I'm comfortable with feeding schedules, administering basic medications if needed, maintaining exercise routines, and providing plenty of love and attention while you're away. I work with a flexible schedule, allowing me to provide attentive care throughout the day rather than leaving pets alone for extended periods. You'll also receive regular updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your furry family member is happy, safe, and well cared for. I know every pet is unique, and I look forward to getting to know yours and treating them like one of my own. Every dog's ideal day looks a little different, and I do my best to match their routine so they feel right at home. Because I work from home, your dog will have plenty of companionship throughout the day instead of being left alone for long periods. Mornings typically start with a potty break, breakfast (if that's part of their schedule), and some playtime or a walk. Throughout the day, dogs can relax inside our spacious home, enjoy supervised time in our fenced backyard, or play with my two friendly dogs if they enjoy canine companionship. My older dog, Colby, is calm and loves to lounge around, making her a great companion for senior or more relaxed dogs. Swiss is younger, playful, and always happy to have a buddy to run around with. Whether your dog prefers to play or simply nap in a sunny spot, they'll have a companion that matches their energy level. The evenings are all about more outdoor time, cuddles, dinner, and winding down before bed. My goal is for every dog to feel like they're on their own little vacation while you're away. Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priorities. My home provides a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment with plenty of room to relax and explore. We have a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely play, stretch their legs, and enjoy supervised outdoor time. Inside, there's plenty of space for dogs to spread out, nap, or simply be part of the family. I carefully introduce new dogs to my own pets to ensure everyone is comfortable. My two resident dogs are well-trained, friendly, and accustomed to sharing their home with visiting dogs through my rescue and fostering experience. Because I work from home, I'm able to provide frequent potty breaks, monitor playtime, and give each dog the attention they deserve throughout the day. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, young, or a senior, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved during their stay. I understand that every pet has unique routines and preferences, and I'm happy to accommodate feeding schedules, medications, favorite toys, and any special instructions to help them feel right at home.
“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!”
“Elizabeth and Chris were great! We left our 7 month old puppy for the first time for a family trip and she had a blast. Pictures from Elizabeth showed how much fun our pup had doggy ‘summer camp’”
“A first experience away from a new puppy can be stressful but Tori and her family made it much easier knowing that Sadie was in great hands. We would happily have Sadie return as we have future boarding needs. Thanks again for caring for our important companion while we were away.”
“Jessica is GREAT! We unexpectedly had to extend our time away from our pup due to cancelled flights, and she was so kind to continue to care for our girl for longer than initially planned. I know this cannot always be done, but I certainly appreciate her willingness to work with us & take great care of our pup while we were working to get home. Cannot recommend her enough 🙏🏼”
“Julia is amazing! she took care of my pup last minute and I felt so safe and comfortable with her! My fur baby was happy and didn’t seem like she missed me at all haha! I recommend using her if you want your pup to have a safe, fun and comfortable time!”
“Willow had the best weekend with Kelsey! She sent lots of photos and had great communication the entire weekend. Kelsey is so accommodating and allowed Willow to free roam and sleep on a bed. We couldn’t recommend Kelsey more and will definitely be going back :)”
