Oliver looked like he had a great time with Chris and Dolly (his pup). He went straight to sleep when I brought him home!”
“We always have peace of mind whenever Moose stays with Stephanie. All those random photos that we received while we were away reassured us that he is happy a great time. I can’t count how many times moose stayed with her, but she’s definitely our go-to gal.”
“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! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Briah did a great job with my dog. She took him on many walks, showered him with love and kept me updated with pictures and messages. My dog looked happy and well taken care of when I picked him up, and now every time we walk by Briah’s place he wants to go in. It was also very easy to communicate with Briah, I certainly would recommend her to anyone and I am going to book her again.”
“Crissy’s place was perfect for Eugene! She had small older pups with their own ramp to get on the couch! She sent a couple pics and it was a smooth overnight!”
“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!”
“Alyssa is the absolute best! She was very communicative, kind, and treated our dog like one of her own. She made sure he was comfortable and well adjusted while we were gone. I especially loved all the pictures and notes she sent of how our dog was doing throughout his stay. We would absolutely book with Alyssa again!!”

We got plenty of updates over the weekend so we knew exactly how he was doing. We will definitely be using Jessica again in the future!”

“Linda was so kind and took such great care of our pup while we were out of town. She sent daily updates and pictures to help keep us updated. We felt at ease leaving our pup in her care. She is great!”
“This was my first experience with Rover.com and Tasha P. It was a great experience. We communicated daily and I received pics of my babies. Namee generally won't eat in a consistent basis when I'm not around but Tasha, without being asked, hand feed her. I did not expect that, but I so appreciated it. I will definitely use Rover.com again, most particularly Tasha P. It is plain to see she really loves animals.”
“Katelynn was awesome! She was incredibly attentive to details in my dogs’ profiles and I was pleasantly surprised when she just started rattling off information about the meds they take and their different needs I had written out. My dogs were clearly happy and well cared for when I picked them up and we have already rebooked with her for next week!”
“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!”

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've had a dog of my own all my life who recently passed, and I've had a bearded dragon, fish, and other animals as well! I've been working with pets for a while now (walking/sitting pretty much everyday) in college and it's one of my favorite jobs I've ever had. I am just starting out on Rover, but I have a High Demand profile on Wag!, with 15+ five star reviews and 13 badges earned through customer satisfaction. I tend to be pretty chill and amicable for new pets, and I work well with seniors and youngsters alike. I just really enjoy meeting new animals and getting to hang out/run around! I'd love to answer any questions you may have for me, I'd even be happy to set up a call to chat face to face if it would make you feel more comfortable! I am on summer break from college right now, so I can make myself available for whatever time you need assistance! I am particularly available for long daytime hours and overnights for those who need a housesitter! I am great at de-stressing pets and am very flexible when working with new challenges. I also am completely able to keep up with pets that like to play and get out and about! I can even bring my own treats if you want!
“Vanessa was wonderful with both of our cats. I worry a lot about leaving them when we go out of town, but I felt so comfortable leaving them under Vanessa’s care. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone.”
About: I grew up not being able to have any cats or dogs so I was always watching my friends/family's pets every chance I got. My intuition with most pets really helps me be able to get along with them and keep them happy in any way I can! I am a financial account representative for Shamrock Trading Corporation/RTS Financial in Overland Park. I work 8-5 Monday through Friday so weekends work best for me. On the weekends I can essentially surround my plans around how much time the pet needs and be pretty flexible in regards to what has to get done. In most circumstances I only take care of pets at the clients home. I feed the pets, walk them, play with them, spend time with them or do anything I can to go above and beyond in order to please my client.

I have a back yard and a smoke free home to keep your furry friend company whenever needs be. I can adapt to your needs as long as we communicate and work through it!

I'm very clean, it's safe where I live and it's running water, air conditioning, WiFi, food, I provide as much care as possible for guests and animals.
About: I have had dogs almost all my life. From as early as I can remember I have enjoyed the character of dogs and how they interact with the world around them. Curious, loving, direct, playful, and led by natural instincts. I am a certified professional dog groomer that also offers these additional services to include well rounded pet care. I currently do work at home and can be pretty flexible with scheduling. I can take new appointments within a day or two. I prefer three days notice to cancel but handle all situations case by case. When caring for a beloved four-legged fur baby I treat them with the love I show my own pet companion with kindness, love, compassion, and comfort. I typically allow pets on my furniture and interact with them throughout the day. I enjoy walking with and having playtime in the yard or at a nearby dog park. If there is a more structured environment that you prefer with your dog that can almost always be accommodated.
About: I have taken care of friends and neighbors animals since a young age. I have grown up around animals because of living on a farm. I only work 3 days a week, so have availability on my off days. I would love to fill those off days with caring for your animal. I am experienced with dog walking with dogs either knowing how to heel or those that pull. I am comfortable with keeping animals safe on walks and during play.

About: I strive to care for all animals with the utmost respect and kindness! I am very patient and will always interact with your pets as if they were my own. I have 4+ years of experience caring for my own cats, cat sitting for friends, and volunteering through KC Pet Project. I currently work a regular 8-5 M-F. I'm available most evenings and weekends to care for your pets. I am also usually free and in town during holidays. I am happy to accommodate your busy schedule! I take a calm and gentle approach and will respect and accommodate any needs of the pets I care for. I understand that all animals are unique and am excited to cater my services to your pet's personality.
About: I have cared for my friend’s dogs while they are away many times. I enjoy providing animals with enrichment and making sure they get ample exercise. I am careful around new dogs to let them show me what kind of care they prefer, and strive to make my time with them as enjoyable as possible for both of us. I have full time evening employment. I am available to care for pets Sunday-Thursday 9am to 2pm (meaning my latest available visit would start at 1:30pm for an 30 min visit), and All day Fridays and Saturdays! I have lots of experience with sneaky animals who love eating things they are not supposed to eat or hiding in places they should not be. I am diligent with putting away foodstuffs and making sure doors/ screens are shut. Please let me know if your pet has these behaviors so I can be prepared before the visit.
About: I’ve spent 7+ years caring for pets of all kinds, taking the time to learn each one’s routine, quirks, and comfort level so they feel safe and relaxed while you’re away. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to help with puppies, seniors, and pets who need a little extra care. I work a full-time job from 10–5 on weekdays, so I schedule pet care around my work hours. I’m available early mornings, evenings, and weekends for walks, playtime, or visits. When I’m with pets, I give them my full attention and make sure they’re happy, comfortable, and well-cared-for, even with my regular work schedule. I provide attentive, patient care whether I’m at your home or mine. In your home, I follow your pet’s routine closely—feeding, playtime, walks, litter box care, and any special instructions—to keep them comfortable and stress-free. If pets are in my home, I make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and part of the family, giving plenty of attention, cuddles, and play. I always prioritize their happiness, health, and comfort.
“Arrica is amazing! Hands down one of the best walkers we’ve had. She’s professional, flexible, highly responsive, thorough and patient! She does great with my dog Mello, who warmed up to her quickly. He loves seeing her come through the door and we could not ask for better!”
“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!”

I appreciate that she could come and help out very last minute! Would highly recommend booking with her as she knows what she’s doing and really loves the fur babies!”
About: Hi, I’m Chris! Dogs have always been a huge part of my life—I’ve spent 30+ years caring for pets for friends and family and I volunteer at a local shelter as a dog walker. I work from home and now have the flexibility to spend more time doing what I love: keeping good dogs (and cats) company. Your dog will get plenty of attention, care, and a walk they’ll look forward to. With a work-from-home schedule, I’m able to offer flexible, attentive care for your pup. We regularly walk around Loose Park and the Plaza and would love to include your dog. When visiting your home, I make sure each walk is tailored to your neighborhood and your dog’s routine. I provide a safe, structured, and attentive environment tailored to each dog’s needs. I take the time to understand your pet’s routine—feeding, exercise, and any specific preferences—so they feel comfortable and cared for from the start. In your home, I’m respectful and detail-oriented, ensuring doors, gates, and leashes are handled carefully at all times. Walks are attentive and controlled, with a focus on safety, awareness, and your dog’s comfort level. With my background in shelter volunteering, I’m experienced with a range of temperaments and prioritize calm, positive interactions. I also provide regular updates, so you can feel confident your dog is in good hands while you’re away.

About: Ever since I was a child, I’ve been surrounded by animals—dogs, cats, even hamsters, rabbits, and fish! Now, being a full time student at Rockhurst University here in KC, having an animal of my own, Lemmy (a sweet Ragdoll cat), has been an ultimate highlight in my daily routine. I love taking care of my own animal, and having such a strong passion for it would allow me to give the same, special care for your own furry friend! I’m used to all animals of all ages and sizes, and am eager to help in any way possible! I’m currently a college student at Rockhurst University in Kansas City, and have a very flexible schedule! I’m willing to accommodate most days/times to help with your needs! I will make sure all food is given out properly and water is freshly filled. I’ll ensure that the doors remain locked when I’m there and when I leave, and that your animals are safe and calm!

I’m very patient and will do everything to gain your pets trust and make sure that they’re very comfortable around me.

When in your home I will respect any and all rules you have for your pet and make sure any messes are cleaned up and organized once I leave.
About: I’m an animal lover, and have had pets throughout my entire life, primarily dogs and cats but also small animals. I have house sat and pet sat for friends and co-workers on occasion if they leave to go on vacation. I would help feed, walk, clean up after, and play with dogs and cats.

When I get home from work, I will make sure I clean up any messes and do a manual cycle on the Litter Robot.

About: Hi! I’m Olivia, a lifelong dog lover with years of experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I currently work from home, which allows me to give pets lots of attention, playtime, walks, and companionship throughout the day. I’m very active and love making sure dogs get the exercise and stimulation they need. I also have an English Cream Golden Retriever named Sully who is extremely playful, friendly, and loves having dog buddies around. Because of that, I’m looking for dogs that enjoy playing and socializing! Creating a safe, loving, and fun environment for pets is something I truly enjoy, and I’ll care for your dog like they’re my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I’m home throughout the day for walks, potty breaks, playtime, feeding, and lots of attention and companionship. I typically do a 30-minute morning walk, a lunchtime walk, and an evening walk to help dogs stay active, stimulated, and on a consistent routine. I’m also very active myself and love spending time outdoors with dogs. Since I already care for my own playful Golden Retriever, Sully, having dogs in the home is already a big part of my everyday lifestyle. Sully loves having dog buddies around, so I’m looking for dogs that enjoy playing and socializing as well! I provide a safe, loving, and active environment for pets in my home. I have a fenced-in backyard for supervised outdoor play and potty breaks, along with a large finished basement where dogs can run around, play, and burn off energy indoors. Since I work from home, pets receive plenty of attention, supervision, companionship, and exercise throughout the day. I follow each dog’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions from owners. My goal is to make every dog feel comfortable, cared for, and right at home while they’re with me.
“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.”
“She was WONDERFUL. So so so sweet! I was probably more anxious than Bleu, but she made me feel so comfortable. You can just tell she is a wonderful soul right off the bat, and she took care of Bleu on the 4th of July when he is INSANELY terrified, so she went above and beyond. So happy to have found Patricia. I know Bleu found his new best friend, and I found peace of mind!”
About: I grew up on a family farm in Iowa, raising beef cattle, chickens, dogs, cats, horses and the occasional raccoon! I have experience from bottlefeeding newborn baby animals up to senior pets. My schedule varies weekly. I am a professional photographer that works on site and from home. My “home work” location is flexible as long as I have Wi-Fi! I can be fairly flexible with times as well as staying with your pet. For pets in my home, I live in an apartment with my boyfriend and there’s a river trail nearby for longer walks along with a pet area at my complex. I have previously stayed at and checked daily friends, family, and clients homes while they’re out of town/at work to care for their pets as well as farm animals. I have a wide array of experience working with different animals from regular in-home pets to many farm animals with feeding, walking, and giving medication if needed.
“Shannon is awesome. She took great care of my older goldendoodle, and he was able to use her doggie door which was a huge plus. She walked him every morning and sent regular updates. I hope to use her next time I’m out of town if she’s available.”
