“Griffin and Gloria are awesome!! They sent plenty of updates and pictures, putting us totally at ease! Our dog was very well taken care of and seemed to thrive in their care!”
“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! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Stephanie was amazing and treated our little guy like family. Every picture she sent was of him smiling, playing with his new friends or digging into the dirt. (His favorite hobby). Highly recommend Stephanie for the care of your pet!”
“Jessica and her family were ideal caretakers for my pup! It was his first time away from home, and the family made it really special - lots of love and attention, plenty of patience for Boomer's extreme-puppy behavior, plenty of activity to keep him occupied. I really liked the fact that it was a family affair. Jessica sent pics regularly too, giving me confidence that all was going well. I highly recommend!!!”
“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 🐶❤️.”
“Cassie and Ben and their kids did an amazing job keeping our dog for a week. It felt like family was keeping him. They played with him and treated him like their own. They sent us pictures and videos throughout the week. We highly recommend them.”
“Erin was great! She was incredibly responsive and made me feel at ease while I was away. I loved getting daily updates and pictures. She clearly took great care of my pet and treated them like her own. I would highly recommend Erin to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter. I’ll definitely be using her services again!”
“What wonderful caregivers. Crissy and her husband always take wonderful care of my fur babies. We received regular updates and pictures. They also were flexible when needing to add another night to our stay. I highly recommend them!”
“This was a longer trip than usual but I didn't worry at all about Beau the entire time. I know Becky takes the best care of him and he loves visiting her. I appreciate the daily pictures and videos to show that show how happy he is.”
“Rhiannon and Rachel were fantastic with Lovie, they were very responsive when checking in and made sure she was well taken care of. I would highly recommend booking with them!”
“Amazing sitter! My dog Jerri had a fantastic time and was very tired when she came home (it's really hard to tire her out). I will definitely be using Deanna again and I would encourage you to also.”
“Had great experience with Jessie! She was super patient with both of our dogs, but especially with our dog who takes a minute to warm up to new dogs. She kept me updated all weekend with videos and pictures. Couldn't recommend enough!”
“This was my first time leaving Lucy with a sitter like this, so I was definitely a little anxious. Melissa made the whole experience really easy and kept me updated while I was gone. Lucy came home happy and well taken care of, and I felt like she was in good hands the whole time. I’d definitely trust Melissa with Lucy again!”
“Tasha did a wonderful job with my Milo. He’s a nervous pup with some anxiety and she did really good with helping him to feel comfortable. She sent multiple pictures throughout the day each day and loved on him.”
“Derrika and her family are so sweet and amazing. Kiki might like them more than me! She has the best time when she says with Derrika, cannot reccomend more! Derrika will send all the cute pictures and you won't worry in the slightest. Book her immediately!”
“Chris was able to take Oliver at short notice for a trip I went on. We had a prior meet and greet so I felt comfortable with what to expect. Chris updated me on Oliver and sent pictures. Oliver looked like he had a great time with Chris and Dolly (his pup). He went straight to sleep when I brought him home!”
“Kaiya did great and loved the extra attention and buddies to play with. I also really appreciated Kelly's flexibility with our schedule. Would happily book again!”
“Christine takes great care of my 2 dogs every time. When they stay with her, they get to hang out with her kids and dogs so it's a mini vacation for them. I trust her to make sure they get fed and get to spend plenty of time outside, so it's money well spent!”

“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!!!”
“Madeline was incredible with my sweet kitty! The time she spent with her and the care provided was so comforting! I've already booked Madeline again. So happy!”
“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.

“Melissa was great with our cat! She followed instructions exactly and played with him a little bit which I’m glad for since he gets lonely when we are away.”
“Amber did a fantastic job taking care of my kitty while I was out of the country for a few weeks! This is my first time using Rover and she walked me through what to expect. She checked in with me frequently, provided daily pictures, and did a great job administering meds. It’s easy to see that Amber truly cares about all animals and has a passion for pet setting. I would highly recommend Amber to anyone who is needing a pet sitter! She is trust worthy, prompt with her responses, and took such good care of my kitty.”
About: I have dog sat and cared for many other dogs and animals before. I will always make sure the animals are well treated for and the house is taken care of. I am very friendly and strive to make sure every experience is friendly. I have two dogs of my own. I am excited to be able to take care of your dogs and make sure they get what they need while you are away from home. Something that sets me apart from other sitters and walkers is that I am very client forward and will work to meet your needs. I am currently working part time, so I will have plenty of time to play with your pups, I am available for walks and check ins Monday/wednesday/ thursday and house sitting Monday- Sunday! I follow all directions owners leave for me to care for their dog and home.I also help run errands while owners are away, and in warmer months I take care of indoor and outdoor plants
“Ella did a great job with our kitties. She was consistent and reliable, and she always sent the cutest pictures of our very shy cat, which made me laugh and was so appreciated. I would definitely recommend her to anyone needing someone to stop in and care for their cats! We also had a lot of unexpected packages (registry gifts we weren’t expecting) and she brought them inside for us which was very kind.”
“Deidre did an amazing job getting my cats to trust her! She was consistent, communicative, and professional. She went above and beyond, and made me feel confident that my cats were in good hands while I was away. Highly recommend!!”
“Thanks, Cara! We would definitely hire Cara again! She was thorough and communicated very well. She sent detailed information regarding her check-ins (w/ photos) and made sure everything was taken care of at our house. Thanks for the peace of mind, Cara!”
“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.”
“Nicole was amazing - she graciously stepped in to check in on my cat when my prior sitter canceled the day before I was supposed to leave for my trip. I’m so glad she did, because she’s truly the best sitter I’ve found on Rover. Very kind and gracious - she went above and beyond sending me 7-8 photos each time, a detailed summary, and even some videos! Will definitely be booking with Nicole again. Can’t thank you enough!”

“Ron provided a safe and comfortable setting for an anxious rescue dog who had never before been boarded. He gave Peanut the space he needed and waited for the dog to come around. Any other approach would probably have heightened Peanut's stress. Ron is patient. He also doesn't rely on a cage, another reason we picked him. Hoping for future visits. ”
“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!”
“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!”
“Couldn’t be a better first time Rover experience! Clover had a great day and Allison was awesome in communicating and 6:20 am pick up sure made my day easier. Will use again! 10/10”
“Great communications (several check ins, including picture) to let me know my mini goldendoodle Enzo was settling in with the other dogs and doing well during his first day. Enzo was calm and confident when I picked him up - indicating it was a good experience for him too :) Thanks!”
“Griffin took fantastic care of our baby. She was so excited to hang out with them everyday and play. She has been so much more confident around other dogs and people since. Would recommend them to anyone!”
About: I have been the "go-to" dog sitter for my circle of friends for years, and I’ve realized that the only thing better than having one dog in the house is having two (or three if you have a pair of pups!). I’m opening up my home to Rover guests primarily to provide some social fun for my own dog, Ripley. Ripley is a high-energy ball of joy who loves to play, so if you have a dog that never seems to tire out, they’ll find a kindred spirit here. Whether it's rounds of fetch, wrestling in the yard, or just having a buddy to nap with, your dog will be integrated into our daily routine. What to Expect: • Individualized Attention: Because I only sit 1 family’s dogs at a time, your dogs will get plenty of attention! • Active Days: We specialize in high-energy play. If your dog loves to move, they’ll come home happy and exhausted. • A Present Sitter: I work from home so your dogs will have plenty of face time with me! All dogs with an easy going temperament that are ready to play are welcome. I work from home so your dogs will get plenty of belly rubs and play time. I typically give Ripley a long walk (3 miles) after work that your pup is welcome to join or we can just stick to outdoor play time. I have a fenced in yard and a friendly dog that would love to play outside with your pup. I will send you daily updates and photos. I am happy to accommodate crate-trained dogs (bring your own crate) or dogs that roam a little bit more free (provided they don’t have destructive tendencies😂). I am a bit of a toasty sleeper so unfortunately no dogs in the bed, but they are welcome to sleep at the foot of my bed or anywhere else in the house!
“Chris was very responsive and easy to work with. He took great care of our new puppy when we needed someone to watch him during the day. We will definitely continue to use Chris in the future!”
“Jessica & Josh were amazing! They excitedly agreed to take care of my very young puppy. They sent lots of updates, responded quickly, and were flexible with pickup/dropoff. Ill definitely use them again and I highly recommend!”
“Olivia was our lifesaver! I probably got this this week and has had a really hard time with the healing process so we were looking for a babysitter at the last second and Olivia swooped in and eased all of our concerns. She was attentive and sweet and made us feel so comfortable leaving him in her care while we were at work. Her dog Sully is adorable and was a great playmate for him all day. We loved using her and cannot wait to again!”
“Jennifer did a wonderful job caring for our bulldog. He loved her so much and her space was just the right size with a fenced in yard. Highly recommend her and will be using her again.”
About: Hi! We’re Sara and Courtney 🐾—a reliable, dog-loving duo offering dog sitting, overnight care, and dog walking with lots of personalized attention. What makes us different? Your dog gets consistent, all-day care and companionship—not just quick drop-ins. Sara works from home, so your pup will have someone there throughout the day for supervision, playtime, walks, and snuggles. We offer: ✔️ Overnight stays (in our home or yours) ✔️ Full-time in-home sitting (we actually stay, not just visit) ✔️ Dog walking for exercise, enrichment, or midday breaks ✔️ Medication administration + senior dog experience ✔️ Plenty of updates, photos, and peace of mind while you’re away In our home, dogs are treated like family—couch time, cuddles, and daily walks included. In your home, we keep your dog’s routine as normal and stress-free as possible. Courtney works in healthcare and is trained in canine CPR, with experience fostering senior dogs who need extra care. Sara loves keeping dogs mentally engaged with training, play, and enrichment. Our goal is simple: a safe, loving, low-stress experience for your dog—and total peace of mind for you. Let us know how we can help—we’d love to meet you and your pup! 🐶💛 We’d be honored to care for your pup and give them all the love and attention they deserve while you’re away!! We are available to sit during the weekdays, weekends and some holidays! We have a fenced-in backyard with a doggie door, allowing your pup to come and go as they please. I also have a large metal crate for crate-trained dogs, but if your dog is used to roaming the house, that's fine too. Additionally, I have multiple dog beds, blankets, and toys available.
“Paige was amazing. She helped me out with pet care when I was in town for a conference and my dog came home happy and satisfied from a long day of play and attention. She was so communicative and helpful and my pup had a great time with her. She clearly has a love for taking care of animals and I would definitely book her again!”
“Brittany was great and Ovi had a great time staying with she and her family! Very flexible and personable and made sure every detail about his care was attended to. And their dog Franklin was a great companion for Ovi!”
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.

“Melissa went above and beyond!! When our little dog needed to get to the vet unexpectedly, Melissa got him there! Kind heart, great care and very conscientious!! Thank you Melissa!!”
“Really appreciated how Jennifer wanted to get to know our doggie better before she is boarding him in March. She genuinely was interested in what was best for him and putting him at ease. You could tell how comfortable she was with any situation and we can't wait for Zachy to spend some time with her!”
“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.”
“Cara is wonderful! Patient, caring, and great communication. Tev loved her walk! Cara asked great questions and made sure all were comfortable. Highly recommend and we will definitely book with Cara again!”
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.
“Ron was terrific! I loved that I was able to find a walker in my neighborhood. He and Kerry bonded and they both seemed to love each other’s company.”
“Having you for an hour a day has been a godsend and let me get so much work done!!! The pups love you- god forbid anything happen to me parental rights go to you they don’t love anyone but me as much as they love you ! I kid. Or do I … 🤣”
About: Hi, I’m Claire! I’m a college student who’s been around dogs my whole life. I honestly can’t imagine life without them. My family has owned puppies, big dogs, old dogs, and small dogs, so I know how different their personalities and needs can be. I have always helped out with taking care of my family's dogs by walking, running around in the backyard, cuddling, and providing food/water. Additionally, over the past several years, I have taken care of my neighbors' pets by doing drop-ins when they were out of town. So whether it’s going for a walk, playing their favorite game, or just hanging out, I love spending time with dogs and making sure they’re happy and comfortable. I’d love the chance to care for your furry friend! Hi, I’m Claire! I’m a college student home for the summer and looking for something fun and meaningful to do on the weekends. I’ll be working full-time during the week, but I have availability most weekends. I currently only list weekend availability on my page since my weekday schedule can be a bit unpredictable. However, if you have questions about specific weekday times, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I’d be happy to see if we can make something work! Note about boarding: I live at home with two dogs (a chihuahua and a Bernese Mountain Dog). Both dogs are super friendly and get along great with other dogs. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping everything consistent for them. I make sure they’re fed, walked, and cared for just like you would. I will always leave your home just as I found it and make sure all doors and dog crates are locked up when I leave. Whether your pet needs playtime, cuddles, or quiet time, I’m happy to provide whatever keeps them happy and healthy.
“Amber has been the best! Used her on a weekly-basis for walks.. reliable, flexible with my changing schedule and took great care of my dog who is pretty selective with who he trusts!”
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!
“Ava filled in for us in an emergency/last minute situation and was a life saver!! She arrived on time, took him for a great walk, and made my nervous boy feel comfy 🫶🏼 she is fantastic and so thankful for her flexibility! Would recommend any time!!”
“Lori has been wonderful with my goldendoodle! She is reliable and dedicated to her clients. She has been easy to work with and flexible with scheduling. I always know that my pup will be in good hands on his daily walk, and I receive several photo updates to prove it :D”
“Absolutely wonderful! Paloma let me know when they were on their way and was super sweet and kind. Even ran with Percy a few times at my request and he came back wiped- goal achieved! Will def be back again! Tysm!”
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.
“Mia was very punctual, trustworthy, and a great playmate & walker for our Ralph. She communicated throughout the day and I really appreciated her attention to his needs. I would highly recommend her services to anyone!”
