“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 🐶❤️.”
“We can’t be happier to have Luna in care of Griffin & Gloria. Luna plays all the time and they make sure I get videos updates every day to see her having fun”
“This was my husband and I's first time ever using Rover or dropping off our dog Teddy with someone else, and we were both very happy with Bridget's service! She really kept us at ease and I could tell that she is fantastic with dogs and treats them like their own. When we picked Teddy up he was super happy and even made some other friends while he was there. I would definitey recommend Bridget, and we already plan on using her again soon!”
“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! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“I appreciated the communication and photos while we were away. Our pup was calm and happy at drop off and pick up. I recommend this family and I will rebook next time we need to board our dog.”
“Lucy was awesome! Her two young daughters immediately helped Pepper feel loved and welcomed. The whole family was excited and slowly introduced Pepper to the other dogs. I got a photo update every day and Pepper was so happy at pick up :)”
“Susan and her sweet family always take such great care of Charlie! They treat him as if he were their own and I think he'd rather live there. Ha!”
“Jessica always takes such amazing care of our little Hallie! I very highly recommend her. Her family is so loving and wonderful, and makes all of the dogs in their care feel loved and welcomed. Thank you, Jessica!”
“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.”
“Nicole is the reason I was able to spend a week with my GREAT grandchild whom I’d never met! Knowing Loki wasn’t simply cared for, but loved and treated like one of the family, gave me the peace of mind I needed to do this. He always has such a good time with her kids and dogs… to the point he mopes when he has to come home. As soon as I show him a picture of where he is going he gets excited and wants to grab the leash to go. If that doesn’t say exceptional care.. nothing does! Thank you , Nicole. You will always be my first choice from now on! Y’all are amazing and a perfect fit for a high energy dog whom still thinks he’s a puppy! ❤️”
“Jillian was absolutely amazing with our baby, Scooby! She took wonderful care of him and provided updates and pictures! Scooby definitely enjoyed his "vacation" with Jillian and I will DEFINITELY book services with her again! This was the first time he has been away from us overnight and we were a little worried, but the updates she provided, we felt very reassured that he was in the best hands! Thank you Jillian!”
“Derrika was great. She took great care of our Charlie, was great with drop off and pickups, and excellent with providing updates and communication. 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.”
“Lona and Alan were amazing at watching my baby! They have wonderful ideas and games for mental stimulation. They make sure to get all the details and preferences for caring for your pet, and are on top of sending updates multiple times a day so you don’t worry. I have no doubt for any future trips I’ll take that my dog will be in great hands!”
“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.”
“Nate is the best! I’m so thankful I found him & his family. Jett loves his whole family. I always know he is well cared for while I’m on vacation! Jett is always so excited to go on “his vacation to Nate’s!””

“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!”
About: I have been a cat lover my entire life. I would go to the library as a child every few days and check out a new cat book.I am very familiar with body language, different breed temperaments, and aware every cat has their own quirks and social pace. I will do everything I can to cater to your cats specific needs and temperament. I am available in the evenings and all day on weekends!
“Crissy and her husband are excellent sitters. I typically use friends and family to watch my pets for short stays like this most recent one, but Ash (my cat) has had some recent health issues that required regular subcutaneous injections along with some other medications, that I felt he would be better left with a sitter. We used Crissy and Matt previously for an extended trip so I requested them again. They had minimal experience giving injections in the past but were very willing to learn how to do it! Everything went great (with regular photo updates), and I highly recommend them!! 😸”
“I am so lucky to have found Stephanie. The care she gave Patches/Gilbert was more than I could have hoped for. The daily pics showed me my kitties were being well cared for. She also kept my wild birds fed. I would have Stephanie back in a heart beat. Thank you Stephanie!!!”
“Shannon went above and beyond my expectations. I had a family funeral to attend on short notice, and she took care of everything so I didn't have to worry. She introduced me to some eco-friendly pet waste bags, and left a few rolls for me to try. Kind and thoughtful, she is an excellent choice of sitter for your furry friends!”
“Kadyn did a wonderful job watching our two kitties and left our apartment better than she found it. She was an excellent communicator and followed all our instructions exactly. Most importantly, our cats both seemed happy and healthy all in the pictures she sent!”
“Deidre did a great job with Noodle and Truffle! I came home after 5 days to happy, healthy cats. Deidre was attentive to their needs and contacted me with any questions about Noodle and Truffle's routines.”
“Jasmine has been a lifesaver for the 2 kitties! They were available on short notice and have gone above and beyond to help with the cats health needs. Jasmine was communicative and sent lots of photos! I would highly recommend Jasmine!!”
“Mallory was wonderful! She took exceptional care of my two kitties. She cleaned up when Brodus left presents because he was mad that I was gone. She went above and beyond.”
“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!”
“Maggie did an amazing job. We can tell the dogs are happy and have been well taken care of while we were gone. We will definitely use her in the future and would recommend her to anyone in the area looking for a great dog sitter.”

“Derrika was great with our pup! She was very professional and I had a high degree of confidence that our little guy was well cared for and loved while we were away. I loved feeling like it brought her joy to be with him too and not just a transaction. We’ll definitely be back!”
“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.”
“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 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”

“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!”

“I appreciate Alex's incredibly fast response time and acceptance of my last minute request and time changes. Midas seemed to have a fun day and I got pictures and a video!”
“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!”

“This is the 2nd time I’ve used Iryna and her and Ava are officially besties! 👯♀️ She has been so patient with my old girl and gained her trust and now she gets excited to see her. Being from out of town my girl just had a lot of change in a short period of time and Iryna took her time and worked with her to build that bond! I will be making her my regular dog sitter for sure.”

About: I’ve been the resident cat and dog sitter since I was a teen in my family and friend group. I have worked with dogs big and small, and cats of many temperaments. I have been an overnight sitter for both animals, and have experience walking, playing, following routines, and making the pets feel comfortable and loved. I have followed medication routines and given medications for both cats and dogs as well when needed, and am comfortable doing so. I am currently working part time while going to grad school, so I am back and forth from the house and able to check on any pets throughout the day. My home has plenty of space for another cat to hang out. In my home, I try to make the environment as comfortable for other pets as possible and make sure they feel safe and secure as they would in their own home. As for visiting pets at their homes, I enjoy knowing their habits and preferences, so I can cater to their needs as closely to their normal lifestyle as I can. Simply put, I want pets to feel at home and safe regardless of their location, and do my best to love them and their needs whatever they may be.
“If I could have Evey as Gus's personal nanny, I would! She is top notch from communication, to pictures, to reliability. She goes the extra mile and truly enjoys what she does and it shows!”
“Lulu has been wonderful! She has been walking my 10 month old puppy who was not great on a leash but seems to be doing well! My puppy cries for her when she drops her off! Lulu is very punctual and professional and has answered any questions I have. She also leaves a detailed report after each walk. I would highly recommend her!”
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!”

“Vanessa was wonderful to work with! She was easy to communicate with and incredibly accommodating, especially with my last-minute request. We had to make a few adjustments due to the weather, but communication was seamless and she was very flexible throughout the process. I really appreciated how easy she made everything, and I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and responsive sitter/walker. Thanks again, Vanessa! 🐾😊”
“Christina is fantastic! Our dogs boarded with her and had such a good stay, and we got plenty of updates while we were away. She also walked them on very last minute notice due to our regular walkers falling through. We highly recommend Christina and are already booked for repeat service with her in the near future!”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life and I am super passionate about animals. I have experienced both owning and sitting animals of all ages (especially puppies) and I would love to get to know your fuzzy friends!😊 I am a student, but currently on break for the summer so I am very flexible! I am a runner so long walks don’t bother me at all. Animals are one of my passions so I will be giving your fur baby as much attention as it needs. Whether that is a walk, a food and water refill, some pets or a simple potty break, I will be there!
About: I will treat your dog the way I treat my own. I know what it’s like to leave your baby with a new person. You’ll have nothing to worry about. I’ll give your dog all the love care and play they could want. I’m a travel nurse, and I am in between contracts so I am free every day! Your dog will have my full attention and all my love. I put the safety and happiness of your pet first. I pay attention to detail and cleanliness. I have a fenced in yard. My dog is a typical golden retriever, she doesn’t have an aggressive or bossy bone in her body. She loves everyone and everything. So your dog will be very comfortable.
“Michael does excellent work. He is always on time, provides excellent, thorough info on the walk and status of our pet. He is very caring, and playful with our pet. Michael is also respectful of our home, takes off his shoes when entering and always cleans our pets paws after the walk. I highly recommend Michael.”
About: Caring for animals is one of my greatest joys. I've cared for everything from energetic vizslas and sheepdogs to strong willed Akitas, so I am comfortable with all kinds of personalities and temperaments. Whether its long walks, playtime, cuddles or sticking to your pet's routine, I'll care for them with the same love and attention I would my own. You can count on me to be dependable, communicative and to send photos and updates, so you will know your pet is happy and safe while you're away. I recently retired from my full time job and have plenty of time to devote to dog walks and pet visits. My schedule is flexible and we should be able to work something out. I would follow the pets routine as instructed by the owner and be sure to keep it as stress free for the pet as possible. I make sure the pet receives plenty of attention and affection.
“In the short time we have used Abby as a Rover, she has been a great fit for our family and fur baby, Finn. She has been reliable, responsible, and caring towards her. We appreciate her flexibility with scheduling and ability to work with Finn's specific needs. We would highly recommend Abby to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter.”

About: Hello!! Just as much as I love hugging people I love snuggling with dogs! My name is Kayla and I recently moved to Brookside MO! I am just a 4 minute walk to a nearby trolley trail. I got my first whiff of being a pet sitter when I became roommates with a couple of friends and their golden poodle! From there on out I became a dog/cat sitter for Rover.! I also shared a beautiful German Shepard / black lab with my best friend! If you are looking for a flexible schedule and a caring friend for your family then you are at the right place! I look forward to meeting your furry family! I am able to work from home if needed! Depending on what your pet needs and if they are being boarded my schedule is pretty flexible. I will follow all the rules of the homeowner whom I am petsitting for. Please let me know if there are any special instructions when pet sitting or coming in for walks.

They provided updates and pictures, and I could tell my dogs had a great time during their stay, getting lots of exercise in the yard and then lounging on the family as if it were their own home. The whole was family was simply fantastic in every way, they and their kids helped me move and pack up the crates, treats, and dishes, it was like white-glove service at the doggie hotel. I will for certain be bringing my crew back to them every chance I get!!”
