I'm impressed with Dana's attention to my pet's needs and will certainly rely on her again in the future. Looking forward to more playdates with Herbie!”

Cat caregivers near you - Stanford Gardens
“Cara did a great job with a last minute drop in visit to check on our cats. She communicated well and gave our boys what they needed. I would definitely book her again!”
“Don't hesitate to book Melissa if you're lucky enough! I enjoyed my vacation so much more knowing she was givng my animals the gold-star treatment. Melissa followed every detail of my way-too-long instruction list for my 2 cats (despite my handwriting). She somehow seemed to remember everything we chatted about during our meet-and-greet the week prior anyway, and probably didn't need a list. Her daily updates were thorough and cute (she took lot's of good photos). She was very accommodating of some slightly unusual requests too. My cats warmed right up to her. I'll definitely ask her to sit again in the future if lucky enough!”
“I always have personal issues leaving my cats because I worry about them a lot and I’m just so annoyingly specific about how I do everything for my cats but Sharon is an angel and took the best care of them. I can’t thank her enough for all the pictures and how sweet she speaks to and treats my cats. Thank you Sharon”
“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!”
“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!”
“Kaci-Thank you for taking care of our 2 kitties while we were gone! They seemed happy and content when we returned. We loved all the cute photos! Great communication from the start, meet and greet and making sure the "girls" were loved. We would hire again for sure!”
“This was the second time that Rachel took care of my boy while I was away, and this time it was a longer trip! She was wonderful, in playing with him, petting him, & responding promptly to my messages about him. She also threw out a dirty cat water filter for me & checked the auto feeder for me when I had some concerns about it. The other great thing was she sent through some great photos of my little boy.”
“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.”
About: I’m a PA at local clinic and when I’m not busy taking care of people and their health, I love spending time with my 3 “nuggets.” I trained & cared for dogs growing up, and have volunteered w/ local humane societies (usually as a dog-walker) throughout my life. As a dog parent, I understand wanting someone trustworthy and dependable to help care for your precious pets! I have lived in Mission/Roeland Park for 11 years with my partner & pups.

“Chandler is easily the best pet sitter I have found. She always takes great care of Caesar & goes above and beyond with her drop in visits. I cannot recommend her highly enough.”
“Deidre was amazing with our cat. Made sure to have plenty of play time. This was our first time leaving our cat home alone and wouldn’t hesitate to have Deidre take care of her again.”
“Lori is great! She took wonderful care of my kitty, and went above and beyond to take care of things I’d forgotten to tell her about. I came home to a happy cat, and healthy plants. We’re looking forward to working with her again soon!”
“Marissa is fantastic!!! She took into great consideration of my cat’s boundaries while providing quality care when I am away. Will provide pictures and follows through with the schedule. Super sweet and handles last minute changes well. Highly recommended her services for anyone looking.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Stanford Gardens
“Ron did a great job accommodating my 10 month old standard poodle who can have a lot of energy at times. The other two dogs that we're also staying for day care on this day were a great match for Link. It is obvious that Ron loves the company of dogs and I plan on having Link visit him for daycare each week! Link came home happy, well cared for, and calm.”
“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!”
“Christine and family were great with my Beagle mix Waylon for a quick weekend boarding. Timely updates and plenty of pictures. Thank you so much!”
“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”
“We had a great experience with Stephanie, she took great care of our dog, Maggie! She was very communicative and shared pics and timely updates! We will definitely be reaching out to her for our next need!”
“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!”
“We feel like we won the lottery with Stephanie and Willow. Odin is so so so happy to visit and they take such great care of him and he has friends to play with. We are so GRATEFUL!”
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!
“So glad to have met Ramon, and his dog, Dante. He took fantastic care of my dog, and even took him for a walk! After work, I brought a happy and tired dog home! I already have other dates booked. Thanks again, Ramon.”
“I can't thank Griffin enough for taking care of my dog on such short notice. They were incredibly accommodating and provided excellent care. Highly recommended!"”
“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.”
“Melissa and her kids are so great, and really hit it off with Poppy! You can tell they have a lot of love for doggies ?. Great communication and lovely home (in a perfect location for us). We will definitely be booking 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”
“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: I LOVE pets — whether it’s having a pup stay with my dog and me, popping in to feed a cat, or walk a dog in the middle of the day, I’m happy to help out. I have a consulting business, and just wanting to add this stuff to make some supplemental money for trips and other expenses. I work full time from home and own my own business, so my schedule is very flexible! I can bop over to walk your dog, feed your cat, and water your plants if you’re out of town! I have a fenced in yard and have a crate for my dog or yours if necessary. I work from home, so I’m here most of the time and can give your pup lots of love and affection!

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Stanford Gardens
“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.”
“Michael has been a wonderful addition to our girl’s daily routine. She is so excited to see him in the morning, and comes back from her walks so relaxed and calm. I cannot thank Michael enough for his care.”
“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.”
“Amber has been absolutely wonderful with my dog! She is communicative, shows good judgment and is excellent to work with. We are very thankful for her walks and attentiveness.”
“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!”
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life and can’t imagine a home without them. Growing up with dogs taught me not only how to care for them, but also how to understand their unique personalities, needs, and routines. For the past 13 years, I’ve provided trusted pet and house sitting services for families, caring for pets as if they were my own. I have experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, and I understand how important it is to maintain their routine, provide plenty of exercise and attention, and create a safe, comfortable environment while you’re away. I pride myself on being reliable, responsible, and communicative. Whether your pet needs long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply a familiar and caring presence, I’m committed to making sure they feel happy, loved, and well cared for. My goal is to give pet parents peace of mind knowing their furry family members are in good hands. As a full-time artist, I have a flexible schedule and don’t work a traditional 9-to-5 job, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, whether that means drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, walks, administering medications, or simply providing companionship and comfort. Because I work independently, I can be flexible with scheduling and am often available throughout the day for check-ins and updates. I understand how important consistency is for pets, and I make it a priority to maintain their routines so they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I care for every pet as if they were my own, and I always prioritize their comfort, safety, and routine. In a client’s home, I make sure to follow all instructions closely so pets can stay in a familiar environment with minimal disruption. This includes feeding schedules, walks or litter box care, playtime, medication if needed, and any specific routines or preferences your pet is used to. I also focus on giving pets plenty of attention and companionship so they feel calm and secure while their owner is away. I’m very mindful of keeping the home clean and respecting the space, and I always provide updates so you know how your pet is doing. Whether it’s dogs or cats, my goal is to create a stress-free experience where your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for until you return.
“Kimball is wonderful! She happily met our pup beforehand and was very professional and attentive to her needs. She did a great job of walking her and loving on her, making sure she got a good walk in while we are at work.”
“Ava does a wonderful job with Truly. She's been walking her daily for the past weeks, and is always punctual and professional. Comnunivation has been clear and easy, and Truly seems to love her walks!”
“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: 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!
“Michaela is so good with my rambunctious boys! I don't trust many people can handle them and she has my absolute trust. She's very friendly, responsive -and most of all - a kennel break savior! I absolutely recommend her...as long as you don't take her away from us!”
“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!”
