“Outlaw and Lola were well taken care of and had a great staycation. They made me feel at ease and treated the pups like family. Thanks for that. It’s important to me and the only way I can enjoy my time off. We will be back.”
“We feel so fortunate that we found Sharon and her husband to take care of our baby on such short notice. We boarded her at her vet's for our last trip and she came home sick with a virus. So..needless to say we were concerned about where she could go this time. Luckily I heard about Rover through a family member. Checked it out. Found Sharon. Who will love your dog and make them feel at home. Thanks again Sharon. Karma will miss you ????”
“Stevie was EXCELLENT & we're excited about using her again. We came home from our overnight vacation feeling relaxed & inspired and our little dog Baby did too. After spending time with Stevie she was so chill, none of her usual anxiety & the socialization with other people & dogs was a real plus for our Baby. Much appreciate the info & tips Stevie shared to help improve Babys well being & health.”
“Bridget was wonderful with our Frodo & Arwen. She kept us updated and sent plenty of playtime pictures of our pups and a couple with their new friends. We will be back next time we are in need of a sitter.”
“Katie took amazing care of our girl Maisey while we were away for 2 weeks. Each day we received great photos and videos of all her puppy hangouts, walks, and cuddles. Katie was so sweet and caring it really helped us feel comfortable away from our pup for so long. We can tell she loved all her time during her stay, especially playing with Sprout! Can’t recommend Katie enough.”

“I had never boarded my dog before, and Saige made the process seamless. I had many questions and had to change a few timelines at last minute and she was very patient with me! My Great Pyrenees chewed a little sore on her paw and Saige tended to it which I very much appreciated. I enjoyed getting and reports of how Willow was doing. I will use Saige again! Thank you!”
“Hands down the best cat sitter I’ve ever used, five stars, ten out of ten. She kept my little baby happy and spoiled while I was gone, sent adorable photo updates every single day without me even asking, and everything felt so easy and stress-free. Seriously, if you’re looking for someone who actually cares about your cat like it’s her own, she’s the one. Book her now, you won’t regret it!!!”

What a blessing it is to have a safe loving home for our little guy when we’re away. Gives us great peace of mind that he’s well taken care of and loved.”

“Tiffany did a great job visiting Bootsy while we were out of town. Everything went as expected and she makes a real effort to interact with the cat. Will absolutely use again!”

“Ashley was wonderful with my cats! Even with one of them hiding the whole time, she tried her best to find him and still give him the care he needed. I will 100% recommend her to anyone who needs a pet sitter and will be using her services again when I need them!”
About: I’ve been around cats for many years and have experience caring for them through every stage of life, from young kittens to senior cats. I currently have an adult cat and a kitten, Sunnie, and I’m familiar with kitten care, feeding schedules, nail trims, litter box maintenance, playtime, and helping cats feel comfortable in their environment. I’ve also cared for cats with medical needs, including administering medications and monitoring their health, so I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and paying attention to the little details. In addition to caring for my own cats, I have taken care of many friends kitties while they’re away. I truly love getting to know each cat’s unique personality and always strive to make them feel safe, relaxed, and loved while their owners are away. I understand that every cat is different and I always respect boundaries.
“Katie did a great job with our two cats. She was on time, provided outstanding care & feeding, & gave us daily pictures of them. We couldn’t be happier. Definitely recommend her for drop-in care of pets.”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my genuine passion for animal care and attention to detail. Growing up on a farm gave me experience with animals of all temperaments and needs, including caring for cats with special diets and administering basic medications when needed. I also take pride in maintaining a clean, comfortable environment—whether that means refreshing water bowls, deep-cleaning litter boxes, or giving plenty of playtime and affection. My goal is to make every cat feel safe, happy, and cared for while their owners are away.
“Kathleen went above and beyond to make sure she gave my cat his injections. He was difficult but she was a trooper and got the job done. I very much appreciate all her hard work. I would highly recommend her.”
“Draven was fantastic with our Goldendoodle during her drop-in visits. Her communication was on point, and she even noticed that we had accidentally locked our cat in the bedroom. Thankfully, she let him out and made sure everything was okay. We’re so grateful for the care she gave our sweet boy. Highly recommend Draven to anyone needing drop-in care for their pets!”
About: I’ve done overnight pet and house sitting for several years and different clients, as well as drop/in visits to feed, care, and keep pets company while owners are away. I work a full time day job during the week and am free most evenings and weekends. I work my day job the first Saturday of every month. I have a fenced in yard and have experience with crated and non-crated situations. The physical and emotional wellbeing of your pet is of the utmost importance.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs of every shape, size, and personality since I was a child. Over the years, neighbors, friends, and family have counted on me to walk their pups, keep them fed and happy, and even tackle the occasional bath time. I love getting to know each dog’s quirks, whether they’re zoomie champions, cuddle experts, or treat connoisseurs. And it’s not just dogs, I’m a huge cat lover too! From playful kittens to laid-back loungers, I’m always excited to give them just as much care and attention. I’m currently a part-time college student, which means my schedule is super flexible and leaves me with plenty of time to give your pets the attention they deserve. I’m available every day and almost any time you might need, morning, midday, or night, except for Thursday afternoons when I’m in class. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feedings, or just keeping your pets company, I’m more than happy to work around your routine and make sure your animals feel cared for and comfortable. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I fully adapt to your pet’s usual schedule and routines so they feel comfortable and secure. My goal is to make their day feel just like it would if you were home, with plenty of attention, patience, and care.
About: I've worked in animal rescue for many years and fostered both cats and dogs for over 15. So even the spicy ones I adore and they seem to connect with me as well. I am comfortable giving meds, doing brushing/nail trims for those that will cooperate, and giving them lots of love and attention! For work, I set my schedule for the most part, so I am very flexible and can come by in the daytime and or evenings. Very adaptable and willing to work out a schedule that works for you!
“Gabby took such good care of my three cats while I was gone. They were comfortable and happy. Well, except for Boo, who is never happy. 😂 I will definitely call her again. She is a treasure!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Bates City
“This is like a second home for Zion. He's receiving the attention from Kathleen, her dogs and the freedom to run and play in her home, as well as her fenced in back yard which we don't have at our home. We're hoping to extend Zion's one-day stay to many overnight stays that will help fit our traveling and working schedule.”
“Aside from being great with our dogs, I have to compliment Grant on his communication. He responded to all of my messages promptly and professionally and kept me in the loop during my 2 dogs stay. It really helped put me at ease about their first stay. My dogs came home calm and tired which tells me they had a great fun time with him. Thanks, Grant!”
“Got it! Here's the updated version: It was our dog's first time staying in another place, and he's usually a bit anxious. But he had a really good time with Stevie and came back tired and happy. We're very grateful!”
“My babies absolutely love going to doggy daycare at Sharon and Mike's! They always come home exhausted and happy. If you have small dogs, do yourself (and your pocketbook) a favor and use Sharon for daycare and boarding instead of an expensive pet resort or vet!”
“Jacqueline was amazing! She accommodated our very last minute booking and gave great care to Bella. Jacqueline communicated well with us and made my first Rover experience awesome! We will definitely utilize Jacqueline again!”
About: I am a lifelong animal lover and rescuer of dogs. Life is not complete without a dog to snuggle up with at the end of the day.

I have a large fenced yard and 3 of my own rescue fur babies that get along with other dogs fabulously. I can do drop in visits at your home also. I love walking and staying active so walking your dogs will be a treat for me.
“Shawn is amazing with my dog Riley. Riley can be very anxious around new people, but she took to Shawn very quickly. He was helpful and patient throughout the whole process, from the meet and greet through the first daycare session. He sent me photos and updates throughout the day to let me know she was doing well. She was very happy when I picked her up! As long as Shawn is dog sitting, he will be in my go-to dog sitter!”

About: I recently retired from the Navy and now live with my wife on 9 peaceful acres, just about a mile and a half off Highway 50 near Powell Gardens. It’s just the two of us here—no kids, no pets at the moment, aside from two laid-back turtles. We’ve had dogs in the past and loved every minute, but after moving frequently, we decided to hold off for now. That said, we’d love to show care and attention to your dog as if they were our own. Since I’m fully retired, I’m home throughout the day. I usually go for a daily walk for exercise, which works perfectly if your pup enjoys a good stroll. Our ranch-style home has pet-friendly vinyl floors and tons of open space to explore. While we don’t have a fenced yard, there’s plenty of room to roam—just let me know if your dog needs to stay on a leash and I’ll make sure to accommodate that. A Quick Note About Your Dog Please feel free to share any special needs, preferences, or routines your dog might have. And of course, if you have any questions at all, don’t hesitate to reach out. I’m genuinely excited to meet your doggo! I am fully retired so I can be home all day. Typically, I exercise with a walk so that would work with the dog as well. I have a large ranch style home with pet friendly vinyl floors. In plenty of land for dogs to run around I do not have a fenced in area so if your dog needs to be on a leash that is fine I just need to know.
About: I had a dog a few years ago when I was young but unfortunately we had to let him go. My love for animals has always been strong and over the years I have regularly cared for friends’ and family’s dogs during that time, including both energetic puppies and gentle senior dogs. While I have limited experience with cats, I’m open to caring for them and excited to learn more if given the opportunity. I work a part-time job and work only 2-3 days a week so I have a pretty flexible schedule. Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine, so I can accommodate a variety of needs, including extended stays or last-minute bookings. I live in a pet-friendly neighborhood with a big fenced yard. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I absolutely love animals and will make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and has a sweet, stress-free time while in my care.

About: I've been pet sitting for about three years now and animals are my whole life. I love big dogs and grew up constantly around Great Danes and Mastiffs. I've also raised three puppies over the years and been involved in basic care, walking, playing, and potty training. I'm getting certified in dog grooming starting in August, so I'm available for a large amount of time over the summer! Currently, I'm looking to pet sit full time! I am available on almost any day of the week (and weekend!) and can come at any time needed during this summer. I will always make sure your fur babies are fed, have water at all times, get any specific meds (if needed), are played with as much as possible, and are plenty loved! I will treat your animals as if they were my own, making sure they are consistently happy and healthy. I also strive to make your return back home as stress-free as possible and often vacuum, wipe down surfaces, and tidy up before leaving!
“Ashley is great! Our dog, Arlo, is a 75lb, 8 month old puppy and while he is the goofiest, most loving guy...he can also be a pain in the butt sometimes. Ashley handled Arlo (and our home) with great care. She is reliable and has great communication. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone needing a trustworthy and loving dog walker!”
“Hailey was excellent, we booked her to walk our dog on very short notice. She was very responsive and extremely kind to our dog. I would 100% recommend Hailey to anyone looking for a pet sitter or dog walker!”
“Great communication. Today’s walk was flexible due to the weather. We communicated easily about the timeframe and updates around the weather. This was a rebooking and I plan to use this Walker again.”
About: I have a genuine love for animals and take great pride in providing reliable, caring pet-sitting services.

About: Pets have been a part of my life my whole life. I've owned everything from dogs, cats, rodents, fish, and ferrets. In high school I spent all my extra time volunteering at Kansas City Ferret Rescue. We even ran some of the shelter out of our house for a while. Currently I own 2 pit bulls and boy do I love my bully breeds. I have Marvel who is 11 and hes my gentle giant. We adopted his mother and had her her whole life and kept him from a litter of puppies she had. We've been together since birth. I also have Alice and she is getting ready to turn 5, we adopted her at 8 weeks old from a neighbor. She's super energetic. I have LOTS of training in taking care of puppies.

I will try to keep your pets schedule as close as I can to their current schedule with you.
About: Hello there! I'm so glad you found my profile! I am a life-long animal lover who has been drawing horses since I could hold a crayon, and I've been caring for all kinds of animals since I was a child. We had rabbits, guinea pigs, mice, cats, dogs, and horses at various times while I was growing up, and my childhood dream was to have lots of cats and lots of horses some day. Well I currently have 3 cats and 1 horse, so that's something! Haha. We also have two ducks and are planning to get more shortly. We've had as many as 5 at a time in the past. I've had pets of my own since my college days, and not surprisingly after having so many animals in my life, I ended up getting my degree in Animal Science! I also volunteered at the local Humane Society walking dogs while in college, and cared for pigs, poultry, horses, cows, and more rodents throughout my education. I also worked at a doggy daycare and boarding kennel for a time after college. These days my animal care is mostly directed at my own pets, but you can never have enough animals in your life in my opinion, and so here I am, ready to spoil your fur babies for you if you need! I currently work from home 3 days a week and am lucky enough to have a pretty flexible schedule during those days as well. That means I can take the time now and then to drop in and check on your pets for you if you need some extra help while you're away! Whenever I drop-in on your pets, I will stick to the routines you already have established for them at home to minimize any stress, so your pet will hardly be able to tell you're gone! But I will also definitely take the time to give them plenty of pets and play-time too, if that's something they would love! ^_^
About: I have had cats and dogs pretty much all of my life whenever my family is gone. I am the one who babysits and walks them. I can even put diapers on a dog that is going through heat if need be lol! I am working part time, but for the most part I am very flexible and will be ready if you need to reach out to me for any pet sitting or dog walking. For the pets in my home, I usually always take her on walks morning, noon and night to make sure all of their potty requirements are good making sure they have food and water through all hours of the day.
About: I love animals - cats, dogs, and more! I've taken care of them all my life. Some call me a "cat whisperer" and dogs love me too. 🐾 I am energetic and fun, love going for walks and hikes and playing fetch. We have a dog at home - Jack, a pit-lab mix, who gets along with other dogs and 3 children ages 3-13, so friendly and social dogs only please. I'm a stay at home mom with plenty of time for walks and playdates. Most days work just fine for me for walks and boarding. I have a fenced in yard with ample space to play. I have 1 dog and 3 animal-loving children, so your doggo won't ever feel lonely. I love to give treats, go on walks and play. Comfortable crating.
About: I’ve owned 3 dogs over the years. My oldest dog is 14 years old and has some health issues so I am very familiar with all the healthcare requirements. We recently got a puppy as well so I’m very familiar with young pups as well! I currently work from home so I’m very flexible in being able to do daily walks, overnight stays, and daily check ins. I regularly go for walks with my dog and would love to add to my routine! My oldest dog is a grumpy old man so he’s pretty easy to work with. I love to spoil my dogs with treats but enjoy taking them out for walks and making sure they get their daily exercise too. I’m a huge animal lover!
About: I have a love for all animals and I’ve had dogs and cats all my life. I’ve also had fish and hamsters. I’m open to learning more. I’m interested in pet care full-time or part-time. I would love to care for pets from a nice, COVID-safe and comfortable household. I’m able to take on more than one job without conflicting schedules. In my home, I have 4 cats of varying ages. They are 7 and up, all the way to 14. The older cats do not require medicine but do not have bladder control. I have one dog that I take for walks and let out in my backyard.
About: I’m extremely patient and caring with each dog or other pets I take care of. I’ve helped friends & family over the years with their own! Pets are an important part of the family and should be treated as such. I work part time currently so my schedule is very flexible and negotiable to spend time with your pets. I make sure to prioritize care so you can rest assured your pups are getting all the love and care they need! I always talk with whoever pets I’m taking care of about their routines at home and what is the environment their most comfortable with. Even with fenced in yards I’ll stand outside and make sure everything is ok while also giving dogs company.
About: I’ve grown up with always having a pack of all different size dogs all ages my whole life I have a strong love for animals I love being around animals, I’m a daycare teacher normally but animals always have my heart. I never don’t have time for my furry four legged friends I love giving pups the attention they need and want. One of my pups with play fetch all day long if I let her. As well as the walks food and water they need. I’ve never met a four legged friend that I didn’t like

“Outlaw and Lola were well taken care of and had a great staycation. They made me feel at ease and treated the pups like family. Thanks for that. It’s important to me and the only way I can enjoy my time off. We will be back.”
“Stevie was EXCELLENT & we're excited about using her again. We came home from our overnight vacation feeling relaxed & inspired and our little dog Baby did too. After spending time with Stevie she was so chill, none of her usual anxiety & the socialization with other people & dogs was a real plus for our Baby. Much appreciate the info & tips Stevie shared to help improve Babys well being & health.”

“I had never boarded my dog before, and Saige made the process seamless. I had many questions and had to change a few timelines at last minute and she was very patient with me! My Great Pyrenees chewed a little sore on her paw and Saige tended to it which I very much appreciated. I enjoyed getting and reports of how Willow was doing. I will use Saige again! Thank you!”
“Hands down the best cat sitter I’ve ever used, five stars, ten out of ten. She kept my little baby happy and spoiled while I was gone, sent adorable photo updates every single day without me even asking, and everything felt so easy and stress-free. Seriously, if you’re looking for someone who actually cares about your cat like it’s her own, she’s the one. Book her now, you won’t regret it!!!”
“Chloe was awesome with my pup Angus. She provided excellent services and communication throughout the sitting period. I will definitely be using her for future sittings! Thank you Chloe!”
“Cooper’s home away from home! Cassie is great about sending regular updates and I can tell Cooper loves it there 😊 definitely our go-to when we’re out of town and can’t take Cooper with us!”
“We were happy to have found Shawn. He made sure that we and our dog were comfortable before the stay. He was proactive in asking about our preferences to take care of our dog, as well as her likes/dislikes. Throughout the stay he provided updates, was responsive, and was flexible for drop off and pickup. Our dog was at ease with him when she hasn’t been with other caretakers. We would happily choose him again.”
“My senior dog Izzy had never stayed with a sitter before and I could see Izzy was pretty apprehensive about it. Ronel could see it to so she gave Izzy extra attention and space to feel comfortable. Ronel gave me updates and sent pictures so I could see Izzy was being well cared for. I will definitely try to get Ronel to care for Izzy the next time I need a sitter!”
“She was great with my two dogs! My dogs were very anxious at the start of their stay since it was their first time being boarded and she was very comforting to them and me! Thank you Olga!”
“Franklin loved it - so much, that he took a second to decide whether he wanted to stay or go home with me! ? Carly was responsive, sent pics & was flexible on hours, etc. Great experience!”
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 do have a dog and 2 cats of my own that don't get along so I have to switch out their living room social time and will ensure your animals has some social time as well. 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 have a semi big yard with a 20 foot tie down lead to ensure your dog has enough room to run around but won't get away. I also have a small plastic kiddie pool I fill up for the doggies to get in and enjoy!
