“Sara is very organized, professional and thoughtful! She sent updates and pictures while Dexter was staying at her house. Made me feel at ease and knew he was being well taken care off while we were out of town. Will be reaching out again, thanks Sara!”
“Susan and her family took great care of my dog while we were out of town. She sent photos and updates every day and I know he had a blast! She was easy to communicate with and responded quickly. We will definitely reach out again next time we need to board Teddy :)”
“Crissy was very flexible with us! She has great communication and great prices. My dog got along just fine with her animals. We will definitely be using her again!”
“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.”
“This was our first time using Rover and I’m so happy we found Griffin! He watched our chihuahua for a week and I think she had a better time on vacation than we did! The kids (and adults) absolutely loved getting the picture/video updates and we so appreciated how they let Tallulah make herself feel right at home. We will definitely be asking for Griffin again next time we travel.”
“We were a little worried about how Bentley would get along with the other dogs Ramon had since our dog is an only dog. Everything seemed to go well. We were very pleased!”
“Katie and Carmen took such great care of Remy and we were confident to leave him and not worry. I will use them again in the very near future.”
“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!!”
“Her family and her took care of our dogs while we were away on vacation. She sent us a lot of pictures, kept us updated with anything that was going on, and would ask questions if she ever had anything that she wasn’t sure of. Highly recommend!”
“Taylor was great! Extremely happy with our experience with her. Sent frequent updates/photos and our dog seemed to really enjoy his time at her house. 10 out of 10 would recommend”
“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!”
“Can’t speak highly enough about this sitter! Ruby was in heaven playing ball and part of the whole family’s activities. Lots of communication and very flexible with my schedule. Definitely will be using again when I’m back in town!”
“Savannah was a lifesaver for a last-minute booking! I’d never used boarding before and was really nervous, but she made me feel at ease pretty quickly. I even forgot a few things for my dog, and she had everything covered. She sent updates with photos and always responded quickly when I texted. If you’re nervous about boarding like I was, I can’t recommend Savannah enough!”
“I have and will continue to keep sending my pup to stay with brittany. She is great at communicating, quick to reply, and always sends several pictures during the stay. My dog gets lots of play time in her large backyard and is always well taken care of!”
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.
“A great, extended stay for my pup! Always the best experience with Jessica and her family. My dog has friends to play with and gets lots of love and attention. So thankful to have found Jessica, she’s the best!”

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!
“Jasmine was great! Communicated well and took great care of our cat while we were gone. She went above and beyond and sent tons of pics! Will book again!”
“Nicole was amazing and so communicative! I trusted her with my kitty for 4 days and I would rebook her again in a heartbeat. She took lots of pics and kept me updated on how my cat was doing. I recommend her!!”
“Definitely a preferred sitter, you can really tell she cares about animals and their well being. Took so many photos and left little stories that make such a difference when you’re missing your fur babies.”
“Arabella was super responsive and communicative while checking on my kitties. She sent lots of videos and pictures that helped ease my traveling anxiety and let me know they were in good hands. Would absolutely recommend her services to anyone looking for a great sitter!”
“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.”
“So great. This was the first pet sitter I’d hired and she did amazing with our older cat. She gave her pills and so many cuddles while we were out of town. I also appreciated all the Rover cards, updates, and great communication. When we go out of town again, Maddie will be the first person I contact.”
“Monica provided great care for my cat like she always does. she provided pictures and videos of him and also gave updates as she did the drop ins. Monica administered his insulin well and with care! My cat loves her!”
About: As a cat parent to three distinct felines ranging from ages 3 to 10, I know that cats are not just "low-maintenance dogs." They have complex emotional lives, strict boundaries, and unique routines. My current cat family includes a social butterfly, an aloof kitty who prefers her space, and a sweet disabled cat who requires extra patience and physical care. I also lovingly cared for a senior rescue cat who became disabled with age. Because of this, I provide customized, fear-free drop-in visits tailored entirely to your cat’s specific personality: The Shy or Aloof Cat: I never force interaction. I am perfectly content to quietly scoop the litter box, refresh the water, and sit across the room reading a book so your cat feels safe and undisturbed. The Social Butterfly: I come ready for intense laser pointer sessions, wand toy playtime, or extended grooming and chin-scratch sessions. The Special Needs or Senior Kitty: I am fully competent in administering oral pills, handling specialized diets, and managing advanced medical needs like injectables or Sub-Q fluids without causing unnecessary stress. Every visit includes thorough litter box maintenance, fresh food and water, and—of course—plenty of high-quality photo and video updates so you know your favorite feline is thriving while you are away.
About: Donut (my dog) and I would love to meet your kitty! We love cats of all sizes and temperaments! Since the passing of our family cat we have yearned to bond with new kittens and cats. Let us watch your cat for you!
About: I’ve grown up having dogs and taking care of them my whole life, became a part time dog sitter out of college and was booked almost every week of 2022 when I was living in St. Louis. Recently moved to Kansas City and would love some more regular clients! In St. Louis, I had a regular that was an elderly dog that required pills twice a day, so I have dealt with older dogs. I also got a puppy with my parents during that time, so I have recent experience with raising a puppy and keep up with her training (she was trained professionally, I just kept it up at home- I am not a professional trainer). Overall, I miss being around dogs and will make sure your pet is well taken care of and loved while you’re away! I work full time with the ability to work from home. I prefer to go into office for at least part of the day, but am flexible based on your pet’s needs. I typically stay overnight with my clients’ pets. I will base a typical day based on your normal schedule- if you work during the day but come home for lunch to walk the dog, I will do that. If you normally work from home with them all day, that can normally be arranged. I want to make sure to keep to your pet’s routine to make sure they’re as comfortable as possible while you’re away.
About: *Please make sure your profile is accurate. I cannot accommodate pets that don’t get along with other animals.** I’ve had dogs my entire life and until recently was working at a vet clinic. I love animals and look forward to being able to help you with your fur babies! I have a very flexible schedule. I am available early mornings, mid-day/afternoon and late. I am open to long term or short term needs. Please make sure that your pet is dog friendly. Thanks!! ❤️ I do have a dog, Lola, who is very social and has yet to meet a dog she doesn’t want to play! I live in a townhome and do have a small fenced in outdoor area. I work remotely and can accommodate most schedules. I am able to walk early mornings, mid day and any time in the evenings as needed. I am able to walk as often as needed. Pets are treated like family and allowed on furniture as long as they aren’t chewers and pretty much have free range.

“Christine was kind to care for my pup, Phoebe, on short notice when my regular sitter couldn’t come last minute. She and her kiddos kept Phoebe safe and comfortable!”
“I booked with Taylor to watch my dog for a couple hours one morning. He has separation anxiety. She understands the needs for a dog with SA and was able to help manage his nerves while we were gone for some errands.”
“Stephanie is a great communicator and very patient with all of our concerns for her first visit with her. Frankie had a great day and came home happy and tired from the day of play (that she loves). We are so glad to have found Stephanie and appreciate her beautiful attitude!”

We have a rescue Shih Tzu who is 9 years old and loves the company of other dogs, she’s not big on playing but she’s all about the snuggles and naps. I cater my care to each individual dog and am happy to discuss your pets needs. If you board with me your dog will get frequent walks and as much exercise as you request, we live in an apartment so I would be taking them out on a leash to walk around the neighborhood; we also have a fenced area specifically for letting dogs run around and play if that’s what you prefer. I am happy to crate them if you’d like or let them sleep in one of my dogs many beds, she sleeps in bed with us so she won’t mind! If I’m coming to your house I can follow any instructions you have for walking/ feeding/ administering medication I’ve done many walks and home visits for pet owners over the years, and my experience in animal shelters and dog training facilities had given me a lot of knowledge about dog behavior and needs.
“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!”
“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!”
About: I grew up raising and caring for dogs, gaining hands on experience with feeding,grooming, and understanding different behaviors, needs, and personalities in a loving, responsible environment. I am available during the day but I work from 1a-11a . Please note that my children may also be present at my home during the stay. I will get the extra accessories I need , due to me not having a fenced in yard,such as a leash, a harness, and toys if not provided ! I will ensure to keep your fur babies entertained!
About: As a young child I begged my parents to get a dog. I took the “D” encyclopedia into my room every night to study dog breeds. I spent years consuming every dog book I could get my hands on. I even created a dog walking business, made fliers, and handed them out to all of my neighbors. I finally got a puppy in 1st grade. She was my best friend. She went along with all of my crazy antics as I tried to make her a sled dog, a hunting dog, and even an agility dog. I also had fish, lizards, and a rabbit. I now live in KC with my husband and our baby! We recently lost both of our senior dogs. I wish I could adopt all of the dogs in need! In the meantime, I would love to help take care of yours. I work from home! That means I’ll have plenty of time to spend with your precious dog. I only ask that your dog gets along with babies/kids. I am used to taking care of dogs of all sizes, ages, and energy levels. I’m confident I can take care of yours too.
About: I have had dogs in my family since I was a child and have years of experience with various breeds. I work from home most days and happy to get active with the doggos. I have a loving a cuddly home and treat all my fur guests as family. As someone with a senior dog, I am very patient and know how to accommate the additional needs some pets may have. With my flexible work from home schedule, I am able to be home during the week, to take your dog out for walks, potty breaks, cuddle, and to play. I am also available on weekends. With the exclusion of running errands, while your dog is with me, they will never be left alone for more than a few hours extended amount of time. I have a fenced in back yard for your dog to run free in. I also have a senior chihuahua who is very chill and unbothered, so as long as your dog likes other dogs, they will get along just fine. I do let dogs sit on the couch and get on the bed, however, I will respect that boundary if you do not allow that for your pets. I know all families have different schedules for potty and feeding times, and my schedule is flexible so I can keep your dog on track even while you are gone.
About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was about 10 years old. I am very good with following schedules, walks, food times, going out, administering meds, giving pets and hugs, etc. I have fostered dogs, owned and raised dogs, and love working with dogs of all ages and groups. I have extensive experience in working with senior dogs who may need a little extra time and attention. I’d be happy to take care of your pet while you’re away and you can be reassured he/she is in caring hands. Daily walks and dog parks? Not a problem! I work from home; so, while you’re away, I can be available in attending to your pet’s activities. I have a senior dog who is very dog friendly. We live in an apartment downtown and go on several leashed walks throughout the day and night.
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.

About: Lifelong Animal Lover with Advanced Care Experience I grew up surrounded by both dogs and cats, and my life has always revolved around animal companionship. I don't just love pets; I understand them deeply. Because I specialize in dog walking and drop-in visits (up to 3 times a day), my focus is entirely on providing structured, safe, and attentive care right in your pet's familiar environment. Expert Medical & Senior Pet Care I have extensive, hands-on experience managing complex care for pets of all life stages, including disabled senior animals. If your pet has specialized needs, they are in highly capable hands. I am fully confident and experienced with: Administering oral medications, pill hiding, and precise schedules. Managing advanced medical treatments, including injectables and subcutaneous (Sub-Q) fluids. Assisting pets with mobility aids, harnesses, and specialized diets. Managing senior pet hygiene, including diaper changes and cleanup. Understanding Behavioral Quirks & Big Personalities As a proud owner of two large bully breeds—one who manages severe anxiety and reactivity, and another a rescue recovering from past neglect—I understand that not every dog is a textbook "easy" walker. I am trained in patience, hyper-vigilant environmental awareness, and reading subtle animal body language to keep your reactive, fearful, or strong pup safe on walks. My home is also run by three incredible cats ranging from 3 to 10 years old (including an aloof kitty, a social butterfly, and a sweet disabled cat requiring extra patience). Having previously rehabilitated a rescue cat who became disabled with age, I know exactly how to respect a feline's boundaries while ensuring their needs are met. Whether your cat wants a high-energy play session, gentle grooming, or just a quiet human presence to keep them company, I adapt entirely to their mood. Because I work from home full-time, my schedule is highly flexible and reliable. I am available throughout the day to accommodate your pet's specific routine, offering dog walking and drop-in visits anywhere from 1 to 3 times a day. Here is how my lifestyle benefits you and your pet: Punctual & Consistent Timing: Since I am not tied to a rigid office commute, I can visit your pet at their preferred times for meals, medication, or potty breaks. Mid-Day Break Specialists: I am readily available for lunch-time walks to break up the day for high-energy dogs, puppies, or senior pets who cannot hold it for long. Rapid Emergency Response: Working locally from home means I am never far away. If your pet has a sudden change in schedule or an urgent need, I can adapt quickly. Your peace of mind is my top priority. I treat every animal with the same meticulous care, patience, and fierce love that I give to my own unique fur family. Here is what I bring to every walk or drop-in visit: Frequent Photo & Video Updates: My camera roll is already completely full of my own pets. You can expect detailed, visual updates during every single visit so you know your pet is thriving. Proactive Dog Safety: I bring hyper-vigilant environmental awareness, patience, and deep knowledge of subtle animal body language to every walk. This ensures your reactive, fearful, or strong pup stays completely safe. Customized Cat Care: I know exactly how to respect a feline's boundaries while ensuring their needs are met. Whether your cat wants a high-energy play session, gentle grooming, or just a quiet human presence, I adapt entirely to their mood.
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.
“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! 🐾😊”
“Ron has walked our dog several times during the day. We appreciate his punctuality and ability to help on short notice. He came to meet our dog before the scheduled walk and we really appreciated it. Good communication as well.”

“Savannah was a lifesaver for a last-minute booking! I’d never used boarding before and was really nervous, but she made me feel at ease pretty quickly. I even forgot a few things for my dog, and she had everything covered. She sent updates with photos and always responded quickly when I texted. If you’re nervous about boarding like I was, I can’t recommend Savannah enough!”

About: I have raised dogs and cats through out my life, I currently have a rescue Shih Tzu named Gizmo who is nine years old and is great with other dogs. I currently work at a dog training kennel and I’ve worked in an animal shelter previously so I have experience with all breeds and temperaments as well as years of professional dog walking and pet sitting. I’m getting ready to go to school full time for dog grooming and would love to take care of your pets to help make money for school! I will give your fur babies the love, care and attention they deserve. I also have experience administering medications including pills and insulin shots. I work short days outside my home starting early in the morning, but my partner works from home so your dog wouldn’t be left alone if you board with me! I’m available for in home visits or walks as well. We have a rescue Shih Tzu who is 9 years old and loves the company of other dogs, she’s not big on playing but she’s all about the snuggles and naps. I cater my care to each individual dog and am happy to discuss your pets needs. If you board with me your dog will get frequent walks and as much exercise as you request, we live in an apartment so I would be taking them out on a leash to walk around the neighborhood; we also have a fenced area specifically for letting dogs run around and play if that’s what you prefer. I am happy to crate them if you’d like or let them sleep in one of my dogs many beds, she sleeps in bed with us so she won’t mind! If I’m coming to your house I can follow any instructions you have for walking/ feeding/ administering medication I’ve done many walks and home visits for pet owners over the years, and my experience in animal shelters and dog training facilities had given me a lot of knowledge about dog behavior and needs.
“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!”
“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!!! 💛”
“Our Remi had the best time with Sylveena and her family. We received so many pictures, updates and notes throughout the days we were gone, it was so appreciated. She even kept a mindful watch over her time outside due to the intense heat we’re experiencing. It’s obvious that Sylveena loves animals and we are so happy to have found her!”
“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!”
About: I’ve had animals in my life for as long as I can remember, so caring for them has always been second nature to me. I grew up with both cats and dogs, and for some reason in my teens, our household animals started latching onto me one at a time, over anyone else in the house. My childhood cat, Bernice, was actually the same age as me! She essentially became “my” cat when we were 15 and shared a converted attic space attached to my bedroom. I was put in charge of all things Bernice, including making sure she had her own comfortable space where she could admire our dogs from a distance, as she mostly preferred. Around the same age, I also started helping care for my “god dog,” and my mom started regularly dog-sitting for friends and family. Having different dogs in our home taught me early on that every animal comes with their own personality, routine, boundaries, and comfort level. After college, our family dog, Marmalade, decided I was her new human and that my dad was now chump change. Between my own pets and the animals I’ve helped care for over the years, I have experience with both cats and dogs at different ages, energy levels, and temperaments. I really love learning about our furry friends and all their little quirks. Whether your pet wants long walks and playtime, constant affection, or would prefer that I simply respect their personal bubble and provide snacks, I’m happy to meet them where they are and keep their routine feeling as normal and comfortable as possible while you’re away. I’ve always had animals in my life, so building my schedule around their needs feels natural. Whether it’s morning walks, afternoon check-ins for playtime or company, making sure they get the time and attention they’re used to. My goal is to keep life feeling as normal and comfortable as possible while you’re away. I know every pet has their own routine, and I do my best to stick to it. I’m happy to play with them or just be a friendly companion if that’s what they need. I give lots of good lovins and am happy to send all the photo updates you want or need!
