“We are so grateful for John, Rachel and the kids for taking such great our Zeke! There is nothing like the peace of mind knowing our pup is well taken care of and in a less disruptive home environment when we have to leave him!! They communicate well and we love getting photos with updates! Very highly recommended!!”
“Thank you for taking great care of our dogs! Kathleen is organized and is very responsive to messages. She is conscientious and sends updates daily with pictures. She takes a genuine interest in caring for dogs and ensuring they are comfortable. Would recommend highly.”
“After recently moving to the KC area, we didn’t have any good experiences with dog boarders. Finally someone mentioned Rover and we chose Bridget because of all the ratings/reviews! She was just as good as everyone said: although our dogs were weary/anxious to have us leave, Bridget made them feel at home and we got plenty of pictures to reassure us as well. Thanks!”
“Catherine was amazing! This was our first time leaving Dixie with a sitter so of course I was worried about our gIrl. Catherine was great she eased those fears and welcomed Dixie right in! We received many pictures throughout the week showing her having so much fun! We would definitely use and recommend Catherine do all dog parents!!”
About: I’ve been caring for and working with dogs for over 6 years, from puppies and high-energy dogs to large breeds and dogs with very different personalities and needs. My professional experience in dog training has given me the opportunity to work with dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments, and I’m comfortable handling everything from an energetic walk to a dog who simply wants to relax and have some company. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each dog as an individual and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m attentive to routines, boundaries, and the little details that help dogs feel at ease in a new environment. Whether your dog loves a long walk, needs some extra patience, or is happiest curled up beside someone, I’m happy to meet them where they are. I work from home every day, so pet care fits naturally into my routine. Dogs staying with me will have someone around throughout the day, with plenty of opportunities for potty breaks, walks, playtime, and attention. I’m also able to keep a consistent routine and give each dog the individual care they’re used to. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely get outside for potty breaks and supervised playtime. I prioritize a calm, secure environment and follow each pet’s individual routine, feeding instructions, and house rules. My experience working with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments also means I’m comfortable recognizing when a dog needs space, extra supervision, or a little time to settle in. I’m happy to use crates or separate spaces when needed and will always prioritize your dog’s safety and comfort.
“Gail is THE BEST!! You can tell she really loves animals, especially the dogs. She made my Fredo feel very relaxed and at home under her care. She has a lovely home and makes all of the dogs she cares for very comfortable. I would use her again to watch Fredo. Fredo can't wait to go back to play with Sky! Thanks Gail.”
“Taylor was super great! She gave regular updates with great pictures and videos for our pups stay. We were so much happier with this than boarding our dogs. Thanks Taylor!”
“The best dog sitter in KC! My dog Coco has the best time with Angelica and her dogs. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a great dog sitter who's friendly, accommodating, and an overall great experience. You can tell she really cares about you and your dog”
“Nicole & Gary were wonderful!!!! Our pets hadn't been boarded in several years and are now seniors. We wanted them to be boarded together. Nicole went out of her way to alleviate our pets anxiousness. She sent pics several times per day and kept us updated with anything out of the ordinary. I would recommend them highly, especially if you are unsure about leaving your animals. We will definitely book with them in the future if we need to.”
“Amanda did an excellent job! She sent updates twice a day with pictures and was very understanding with how dogs are in new environments. Nice big fenced in backyard and a very dog friendly environment.”
“Olga did a fantastic job taking care of our dogs! She kept us updated regularly throughout their stay, which gave us great peace of mind. It was clear she was a wonderful host who genuinely cared about our pups. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and attentive sitter!”
“This was our fist time boarding our dogs. They did great and loved Joseph. He made them feel comfortable right away. They came back happy and tired. Would definitely recommend Joseph.”
“Laurie was great. Flexible and kind. Drop off and pick up went smooth and the communication during the sit, was great. I would use Laurie’s services every time to watch Bella. In the future. Thank you Laurie. Thank’s for taking care of my Girl!!!”
“Mackenzie was absolutely fantastic especially being patient with me while figuring out the app will definitely use again pups had an amazing time with her and her family.”
“Nicole was wonderful! She provided excellent communication throughout our trip and sent photos, which gave me great peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our dog was well cared for, and having fun. In fact, when he came home, he cried because he missed his new friends and the environment he had grown so attached to. We couldn’t ask for a better indication of how happy and comfortable he was in her care. Highly recommend!”

“Kaylese took fantastic care of my animal crew! She responded quickly to my last minute request, and the dogs and Kitty instantly loved her. They were relaxed and happy when we returned from our trip.”
“Sierra did a wonderful job of taking care of our kitties while we were out of town! She also went above and beyond by offering to bring mail & packages inside. She is very sweet and communicative, and our cats (the ones who didn’t hide) loved her. 😊 100% recommend.”
“If I could leave Marianna a 500 star review, that still wouldn’t be enough. I needed last minute care due to a medical emergency, and she not only accommodated my need with less than 18 hours notice, but she did so with a level of care for my kitties that I have never experienced before. Within 15 minutes of her arrival, I had photos and videos of all of my babies (which is no small feat in itself), and she continued to provide multiple updates, photos, and videos. She was so so so loving and gentle with my kitties, stayed with them all day and overnight, and gave me the comfort and reassurance I was desperately needing. I will absolutely be hiring her every time I need a sitter moving forward (hopefully sans the hospital stay and ideally for a fun getaway instead). Thank you so much, Marianna. There are not enough ways to express my gratitude!”
About: I have experience working at a doggy daycare that also boarded cats, where caring for the feline guests quickly became my favorite part of the job. I enjoyed engaging cats through play, enrichment, and individualized attention while ensuring they felt comfortable and secure during their stay. I am confident in reading feline body language and understand the importance of respecting each cat's unique personality and boundaries. As a cat owner myself, I am passionate about providing reliable, attentive care and treating every cat as if they were my own.
About: I will make sure that your pet is cared for and properly cared for as well. You can trust that your pet is in good hands when it is with me. I am a very outgoing person and love working with animals. I have cared for pets of my own for years, I have walked them, played with them and fed them up to standards. I will be willing to work with any type of dog or pet. I will make sure that your pet will get the most out of this experience but that you as their owner also get the most out of this experience. I am doing rover because I love animals and love caring for my dog as well. You can trust me with you little babies l!

I have always been an animal lover!
About: If I had to describe myself, I'd say I'm a bit of a Disney princess—animals just seem to warm up to me. 😊 While I've never personally owned a cat, I've cared for cats from 20+ different families over the past 10 years, so I'm comfortable with all kinds of personalities, from the social "pet me immediately" type to the shy "I'll watch you from across the room for three days" type. I believe every cat deserves to be cared for on their terms. Whether that means sitting quietly while they decide if I'm trustworthy, playing with their favorite toy, sticking to a strict feeding routine, or simply making sure they have a calm, clean, stress-free environment while you're away, I'm happy to adapt to what makes them most comfortable. I know how important updates are when you're missing your pets, so I make it a point to send plenty of photos and messages so you can relax knowing they're happy, healthy, and well cared for. My goal isn't just to stop by and refill a food bowl—it's to make your cat feel as safe and comfortable as possible until you're home.
“Cheyenne was so great!! Our cat was so comfy here and got lots of love and attention! Cheyenne is a super kind human and sent us regular updates, including videos and pictures, which really made us feel so much better about leaving our sweet boy for a couple weeks! He was well taken care of and got all the scratchies and cuddles he wanted!”
“Gabby, thank you so much for taking such good care of our senior cat (age 18) at your house for 6 days. I know she can be high maintenance with her medications and potty issues. We enjoyed our vacation knowing she was in such good hands. I'm sure she also loved having your dogs around. Also thank you making sure she drank enough water.”
About: I’ve had a cat since I can remember. My first cat Christopher looked like a Halloween cat all sleek black and skinny. I remember begging my parents to keep him. Since him I’ve had and fostered several over the years. I used to take care of my friends mean old Russian blue whenever her family went out of town and he never bothered me. Just had to know him and what he would do. I’m not scared of any of them and love hearing their happy purrs.

I have cared for young, old, sick, and healthy. I have had 8 cats of my own, three which were rescues that have since found their permanent homes. I have raised one of my kittens who was a bottle fed kitten.
About: I have always been an animal lover. I grew up in a home that always had a fur baby and as I grew up I have always had a fur baby of my own. I personally believe owning a pet makes a house a home. Aside from my personal experience with pets, I also was an assistant at an in-home pet sitting business for 4+ years. I currently work full-time as a nurse practitioner. My weekly schedule consists of 4 10 hour shifts 6:00am-4:30pm. I have all evenings available during the week for pet sitting. I have 1 weekday per week available and do not work at the hospital on weekends, which make them perfect for pet sitting! I will make sure to discuss your pets routine with you in detail to ensure their schedule is not disrupted when you are away. Consistency is important to not only us, but also our fur babies. Keeping things consistent and providing quality 1:1 time are a priority of mine.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was just 7 years old. My passion is caring for others. I know how to work with dogs with emotional and behavioral issues. I know how to handle dogs even big dogs that pull on the leash. I can help keep training consistent. I run a home daycare and help care for my mom and homeschool my autistic 16 yo son. So I have a lot of time, room and love to give your doggies.

I am able to care for 3 more dogs at a time. I have a large basement with an unfinished room that I put a baby gate up for the door and I have 2 kennels. If I have 3 dogs at once I will rotate the dogs out to make sure that one does not have to stay in a kennel too long. I will ensure your doggy always has food and water available and frequent bathroom breaks with plenty of love and social time.

I also have a small plastic kiddie pool I fill up for the doggies to get in and enjoy!

About: Moonbabies Little Lodge offers boutique home boarding designed especially for small dogs who enjoy a calm household environment. Your dog will stay in a cozy home setting with a small resident pack of friendly toy-breed dogs and plenty of supervised outdoor playtime in our secure backyard play yard. Our yard features enrichment areas just for small dogs, including ramps, tunnels, lounging spots, and shaded cabana areas where pups can relax between play sessions. In warm weather we even bring out a splash pad for dogs who enjoy cooling off. Inside the home, dogs are part of the family during the day and sleep comfortably in their own individual night pens with beds and toys for a peaceful evening routine. Because this is a small home environment, we typically host only 2–3 guest dogs at a time, allowing us to give each dog plenty of attention and supervision. This setup works best for dogs who: • are under about 20 lbs • are comfortable around other small dogs • are house trained • can relax calmly in a pen or crate if needed A meet-and-greet is required before first bookings to ensure everyone is a good fit. We look forward to welcoming your pup to Moonbabies Little Lodge — where little dogs have big fun. Caring for dogs is already part of my everyday life! Guest dogs join our calm daily small-dog household routine with supervised backyard playtime, indoor relaxation, naps, cuddles, and social interaction throughout the day. I keep my guest list intentionally small so each dog receives close supervision and personal attention in a comfortable home environment. Moonbabies Little Lodge is designed specifically for friendly small dogs. Dogs enjoy supervised play in a secure fenced backyard and are introduced gradually to maintain a calm group dynamic. Guest dogs are monitored closely and separated if needed for rest, meals, or quiet time. Overnight, dogs sleep safely in cozy individual pens with their own bedding, food, and water.

“Erika was able to meet with me on a moment's notice and was very reliable. She even worked it out to drive a little farther than she would have liked. Thank you Erika!”
About: I have a genuine love for animals and take great pride in providing reliable, caring pet-sitting services. Having grown up on a farm, I gained hands-on experience with a wide range of animals, from household pets to livestock. This background has taught me responsibility, patience, and how to care for animals of all kinds. I treat every pet as if it were my own, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I attend school online, which gives me a very flexible schedule. This allows me to travel for pet-sitting jobs and even stay overnight when needed, as long as there’s Wi-Fi so I can keep up with my classes. Since I’m currently applying for more jobs, my availability is open and adaptable, making it easy for me to provide consistent, reliable care for pets whenever I’m needed. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I make sure to follow their usual routines as closely as possible so the pets feel comfortable and secure. I provide regular feeding, fresh water, playtime, and plenty of affection. I also take time to clean up after them, whether that’s refreshing litter boxes, wiping paws, or tidying up their spaces. If I’m staying overnight, I make sure the home stays neat and the pets get extra attention and companionship. My goal is always to create a safe, calm, and loving environment while keeping the owner’s home just as they left it.

I am a natural care giver and would love to meet your little (or big) one! I work a hybrid in the field/remote job so my schedule is super flexible. I have to already incorporate my schedule around my rightfully spoiled only child (Lincoln, my 8-year old Husky mix). I also combine pet care time with my self-care routine for exercise/physical activity. (Work smarter not harder). I have a fenced yard/porch, as well as a doggy door built into the door that leads to said yard/porch and security cameras that cover the yard so we can always see what's going on. As well as various toys, treats, and walking equipment always available to all our furry friends.

If you need care for other species aside from dogs and cats I can care for them as well! I work 4 days a week at around 30ish hours, my significant other is home during the day as he works nights. So he is able to let animals out at our home during the day. I care for all different kinds of pets, however it is needed and requested. If something happens I will know exactly what to do.

I’ve been dog sitting and helping take care of dogs since I was 10 years old and have gained several skills in responsibility and care from this. I am available at most times of the day to care for and walk your dog. I work a part time job that makes my schedule very flexible. I can offer several services of walking your dog and/or dog-sitting your dog. This includes feeding them, letting them out, and providing physical activity for them such as playing or walking.
About: Our family has been taking in foster dogs for the past six months. Before that, we watched dogs for friends and family on an as needed basis. I have 3 children in the house age 13, 9 and 7. Sometimes they are with their dad, so if your dog doesn't do well with children we can still possibly work something out depending on dates. Just let me know. When they are here, they absolutely love to dote on our furry visitors both big and small and are always careful to respect the dog's space if they need alone time. I grew up with dogs in my family as well and my best friend is a vet tech, she's always giving me helpful doggie tips! After fostering for others, we now have our own dog named Taylor Swift who would love some friends to visit! We are very responsible and have experience with a variety of dog breeds and ages. We will also make sure to follow any special instructions necessary for your pet. For overnights we can do crates, dog beds, or let the dog stay in the bedroom depending on your preference. We love to play and always give our furry friends lots of attention and love when they visit. If you have any other questions just let us know. We are a great family with lots of dog experience and references! I'm home full-time save occasional errands. Pets are fed according to any schedule provided but generally our day starts around 9 AM. The kids love to spoil our visitors with play and cuddles. We will follow any instructions left. Pets are fed separately for safety. If your pet does not eat at scheduled times, then a space they can eat will be provided separate from the other dogs and food offered throughout the day. We like to hang out with our visitors just as we do our own dog. They'll come with us on any dog-friendly outings, play outside, and get lots of cuddles! The downstairs and living room area is the most dog friendly with a dog door to the backyard. This is our main hangout spot but the older dogs often opt to lay out on the deck which gets lots of sun, or with the grown ups upstairs.

Routine is important to limit stress of our beloved pets. I will stick to their routine and ensure they are comfortable and relaxed. I respect your home and will clean up any messes made. I will make the bed if I stay overnight, keep dishes clean, pick up toys, and sweep/vacuum. I make sure your pets environment is comfortable for them.
About: I grew up with three dogs and trained them to do the basics. I love animals of all sizes, not just dogs. I don’t have much experience with other animals but would love to learn and be as much help as possible! I currently work a full time job however my hours have been cut to part time hours so my availability is pretty open. Unfortunately my job is not a set 9-5 Mon. through Fri. There is a mid sized dog park at my apartment complex however I cannot bring my animal inside my apartment. I can definitely travel to your home and take care of your animal is one long stay or visits. And I also love taking dogs on walks so that is no problem as well.

“We are so grateful for John, Rachel and the kids for taking such great our Zeke! There is nothing like the peace of mind knowing our pup is well taken care of and in a less disruptive home environment when we have to leave him!! They communicate well and we love getting photos with updates! Very highly recommended!!”
“Catherine was amazing! This was our first time leaving Dixie with a sitter so of course I was worried about our gIrl. Catherine was great she eased those fears and welcomed Dixie right in! We received many pictures throughout the week showing her having so much fun! We would definitely use and recommend Catherine do all dog parents!!”
About: I’ve been caring for and working with dogs for over 6 years, from puppies and high-energy dogs to large breeds and dogs with very different personalities and needs. My professional experience in dog training has given me the opportunity to work with dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments, and I’m comfortable handling everything from an energetic walk to a dog who simply wants to relax and have some company. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each dog as an individual and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m attentive to routines, boundaries, and the little details that help dogs feel at ease in a new environment. Whether your dog loves a long walk, needs some extra patience, or is happiest curled up beside someone, I’m happy to meet them where they are. I work from home every day, so pet care fits naturally into my routine. Dogs staying with me will have someone around throughout the day, with plenty of opportunities for potty breaks, walks, playtime, and attention. I’m also able to keep a consistent routine and give each dog the individual care they’re used to. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely get outside for potty breaks and supervised playtime. I prioritize a calm, secure environment and follow each pet’s individual routine, feeding instructions, and house rules. My experience working with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments also means I’m comfortable recognizing when a dog needs space, extra supervision, or a little time to settle in. I’m happy to use crates or separate spaces when needed and will always prioritize your dog’s safety and comfort.
“Taylor was super great! She gave regular updates with great pictures and videos for our pups stay. We were so much happier with this than boarding our dogs. Thanks Taylor!”
“Nicole & Gary were wonderful!!!! Our pets hadn't been boarded in several years and are now seniors. We wanted them to be boarded together. Nicole went out of her way to alleviate our pets anxiousness. She sent pics several times per day and kept us updated with anything out of the ordinary. I would recommend them highly, especially if you are unsure about leaving your animals. We will definitely book with them in the future if we need to.”
“Amanda did an excellent job! She sent updates twice a day with pictures and was very understanding with how dogs are in new environments. Nice big fenced in backyard and a very dog friendly environment.”

About: I’ve been taking care of pets my entire life. From my own dogs as a child to helping friends and neighbors take care of theirs, I have over 40 years of experience, taking care for babies. Currently, I have a bernadoodle, a boxer, and a pug. We’ve had many boxers over the years. I’ve taken care of puppies all the way through senior dogs. i’m comfortable giving medication’s and taking care of your fur babies as if they were my own. I am a teacher. The dogs are alone between 6 and 7 hours on a weekday. I typically leave food down, but this can be modified if need be. I have an acre fenced in backyard so there is room for them to run and play. The dogs are never outside unattended. Our dogs sleep with us. Taking care of an extra pet or a few extras is no problem at all! I have an acre yard that can be gated off into 2 separate yards. If your baby is nervous we can five them their own space to play and run.I love dogs of all sizes and breeds. Our dogs are very gentle and different sizes. When your dog is on our care we will make sure it is safe and feels comfortable. I have space to keep dogs separate if needed. My goal is to welcome your pet into our pack and treat them like family!
“Lona and Alan were fantastic! They were very thorough in getting to know the details about caring for Skipper, and communication was excellent. They gave my high-energy pup lots of playtime, walks, and attention. They also sent lots of photos throughout his stay - I could tell he was having a great time!”
“Wonderful pet sitting from Noreen and her family. They picked up my doggy and dropped him off as well as sent me many photos and updates. I would definitely book with them again. My doggy was well kept, clean and happy upon return. Thank You!”
“Daisy seemed to have a great time with Mackenzie! Very well at communicating and sending photos! When I picked her up she was bathed and even had a bandana on her! Mackenzie took very well of my doggie. Will book with her again!”
“Sylveena was remarkable! Communication was daily, quick to provide feedback and answer questions. Look forward to having her watch our dogs whenever we have to travel. 10/10!”
