“Miss Michelle was the most amazing sitter for our two dogs. Having never left either of them with a stranger before, we were very selective with who we considered and our choice couldn’t have ended up more perfect.

We received regular pictures along with adorable little “messages from the dogs” updating what our fur kids were up to. Michelle’s home is more of an extended stay personalized dog park than you could ever dream of with a boarding facility. We Look forward to working with Michelle for all of our future boarding needs.”

Thank you, Jeff!!”
About: Cats have always held a special place in my heart. I currently have a 13-year-old black cat named Watson, so I understand the unique care, patience, and attention cats need at every stage of life. Caring for a senior cat has given me experience with maintaining routines, recognizing changes in behavior, and creating a calm, comfortable environment. In addition to being a cat owner, I’ve been pet and house sitting for families for over 11 years and have cared for cats with a wide range of personalities—from playful and social to shy and independent. I know that every cat is different, and I take the time to earn their trust while respecting their boundaries and routines. Whether your cat needs playtime, cuddles, medication reminders, fresh food and water, litter box maintenance, or simply a caring companion while you’re away, I’ll provide attentive and reliable care. My goal is to make sure your cat feels safe, comfortable, and loved, while giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands.
“Katy is wonderful with our senior cat, Fredo, who has special medical needs and likes a lot of attention. We always come home to a happy and content cat, so we know that Katy has taken great care of him while we were gone! We highly recommend her to anyone needing a pet sitter in the KC area.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Ward Parkway Plaza
“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!”
“Juno had a great time with Ron at doggie daycare. She was very tired when we got home so I know she had a full day of playing. Ron was very responsive and even sent an update and picture during her stay.”
“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!”
“Can’t recommend enough. Stephanie was available short notice & super considerate before/during Shiloh’s stay. She kept me up updated & Shiloh seemed very comfortable.”
“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!"”
“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”
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!
“Lindsey was wonderful with our pup, Carlton! He spent several hours exploring in the amazing backyard with the sweetest dog, Stella. Love Lindsey’s care of our boy!”
“Christine is absolutely wonderful! She is always so understanding and flexible — she even watched my dog two hours past the planned time so I could take care of my niece on a school night. I never have to worry when bud is with her. He walks right in and makes himself at home, which says so much about how comfortable and cared for he feels. I’m so grateful for the peace of mind Christine gives me and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, kind, and trustworthy to care for their pet.”
“Allison was fantastic! Ozzie adored her and her dog, and by the third day when I told him he was going to see her he got excited. She kept me updated with lots of photos and was also very understanding of my shifting drop-off and pick-up hours due to the nature of the daytime event I was working. I will definitely be sending Ozzie to stay with her again in the future, and would recommend her to anyone.”
About: Hi! I'm Michelle, I've been dogsitting for friends and family since ~2016 and finally became a dog mom in 2020--it's the best! My husband, Brad, and I both love animals and are excited to join the Rover sitter community. We are comfortable with dogs of any age and any breed, and would care for your dog as if s/he were our own. We can administer medications as needed (we mostly have experience with oral and topical meds, but are willing to learn what's needed for your furry friend) and are very attentive to your dog's diet and feeding regime. We can't wait to welcome your dog into our home while you are away! Michelle works from home so your dog won't be on their own for long periods while staying at our home. We love taking our dog, Joni, on walks (& runs) everyday (we usually go several times each day) and we have a large fenced in yard for additional playtime, so your pup will get lots of outside time to burn off energy and sniff. Your dog will have full access to our home, just as our Joni does, with a variety of toys and bed options (including couches) available throughout the day. You'll get regular photo updates of your pup's adventures while you're away (unless otherwise requested). My husband and I have a large, fenced in backyard that's perfect for zoomies and playtime, and live in a quiet, safe neighborhood. Our 6 year old pup, Joni, is always looking for new friends and someone to share her toys with (she's up to date on her vaccinations and preventative meds and ask that your dog be as well). If your dog is crate trained, we'd be happy to find a space to set that up for them in our home during their stay, or they are welcome to use Joni's old crate which we can set up if needed. Additionally, feel free to bring any toys or bedding/blankets that help make your dog feel at home; we want him/her to have what they need to be comfy while you are away.
About: Hi there! I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life, and caring for animals has always just come naturally to me. I started walking my neighbor’s dog when I was 13 and have loved helping pets (and their people!) ever since. I have a flexible schedule, which means I can often accommodate last-minute bookings or changing plans. Being on a flexible routine also allows me to spend real, quality time with the pets I care for — not just quick check-ins. I love that I can give them my full attention and keep them happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. Services I Offer I offer drop-in visits, boarding, and house sitting — all with plenty of love, attention, and updates along the way! 🐾 Drop-In Visits: Perfect for quick potty breaks, meals, or a little playtime while you’re out. I make sure your pet gets care, company, and a little fun — not just a quick in-and-out visit. 🏡 Boarding: When your pet stays with me, they’ll be treated like family. We keep their routine consistent, make sure they feel comfortable, and give them all the affection they’d get at home (plus extra snuggles if they want them!). I also have two pups of my own that get along really well with other fur babies. 🛋️ House Sitting: If your pet prefers to stay in their own home, I can stay overnight or as needed to keep them happy and relaxed. I’ll take care of feeding, walks, meds, and light home care so you can travel worry-free. My goal is to give you total peace of mind and give your furry family the love and attention they deserve.
“This review is slightly overdue but Megan is amazing! She has been working with my puppy for a few months now, letting him spend the day with her. She is great with dogs, spends time teaching him commands, helped with potty training, the works! I cannot recommend her enough to someone looking for a new rover to care for your pup.”
“Joy has watched rocket a few times now but this was the longest stay yet! I am so grateful that she was able to watch rocket and show her so much love. It is a lot easier leaving her knowing she is getting so much love and attention from Joy!”

“Amber is great with my malinois Hendrix! She always leaves good notes on how he did on his walks and sends photos so I get to see my sweet boy while I’m at work! She has great communication and has been very flexible with me.”
“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: 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.
“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!”
“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.”
“Can’t imagine having a better person to walk our dog, Guinness. Clearly loves dogs, conscientious, punctual and an easy going personality. Not to mention Guinness LOVED him immediately. We are very pleased and look forward to having him back.”
“Meg was amazing and that’s is still a understatement!! My dog absolutely loved her. She messaged me the whole time to make sure I felt comfortable while on a trip. Will definitely be booking with her again and again in the future. I highly recommend. Just don’t keep her to busy I still need her lol.”
“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: What sets me apart is the genuine love and hands-on experience I bring to every dog I care for. I raised my own dog, Ivy, through every stage of life, which taught me patience, training basics, and how to truly understand a dog’s needs. I’m comfortable with puppies who need structure and positive reinforcement, as well as senior dogs who may need slower walks, medications, or extra TLC. I treat every dog like family and make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I naturally plan my days around walks, outdoor time, and being home. I enjoy starting mornings with fresh air and walks, staying active during the day, and winding down with relaxing time on the couch — perfect for giving pets plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. Caring for animals feels like a normal part of my life, not an extra task In my home, I keep a calm, clean, and safe environment where pets can relax, play, and stick to their normal routines. They get regular walks, exercise, potty breaks, and plenty of cuddle time. In a client’s home, I follow your pet’s schedule closely so they feel comfortable and secure. I’m mindful of feeding routines, medications, training consistency, and keeping your space tidy. My goal is always to make your pet feel safe, happy, and right at home while you’re away.
About: I am an animal lover with a variety of experience in caring for both dogs and cats. I grew up in a loving home with multiple dogs and cats at all times. I am comfortable with both large and small dogs. I want to make sure you don't have to worry about the care your pets are receiving. I will follow all guidelines provided and make sure to give them all the love and attention they deserve. I've also volunteered with both the Humane Society and KC Pet Project. With KC Pet Project I would visit local PetCo's and take care of the cats for adoption daily. I am an active individual who loves to go on walks! If looking for boarding, Belle & Abbey (my babies) and my cat Phoebe will be present. If concerned, please let me know and we can discuss options. Please contact me today if your furry babies need some love and attention. I would love to help. I am currently a freelance worker, working from home, with plenty of time to spend with your fur-babies! My schedule is easily adjustable to meet your needs. Available 7 days a week. I am in a 1-story home with a fenced in yard where your dogs will feel right at home. Pets are allowed on the furniture, I have doggie-steps in the living room and bedroom for small dogs or dogs with joint issues. I do have 2 small dogs and 1 cat, if you're concerned about them getting along please let me know and we can discuss options.
About: We like to walk our dogs a few miles a day. Also, lots of sleeping. The only time our dogs are alone is when we go to the grocery store Im retired, so im home all the time. Plenty of time for long walks or just hanging around. I wouldn't want to think about life without my dogs I own my house. Have lived here 34 years. Got a fenced in backyard. There's a doggy door for my 2 dogs. Dogs are welcome on the couch or bed, but they usually lay on the floor or in their kennels. One of our neighbors has a dog we take with us on our daily walks. When another neighbor is unable to get off work, we go into her house and let her dog out of her kennel and walk him or just spend time with him. I'm wiling to walk your dogs, but of course, we will adhere to any rules and instructions. We always carry extra poop bags.
About: What sets me apart is how attentive and caring I am with every dog I watch. I’ve been pet sitting for about 5 years for family, friends, and the nanny families I’ve worked with, so I’m comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities and routines. I have experience with walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and making sure pets feel safe, happy, and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m very patient, dependable, and pay close attention to a dog’s behavior and needs. I also know how important communication is, so I always keep owners updated with messages and photos. I treat every dog like family and make sure they get plenty of love and attention. As a recent college graduate, I currently have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the week for pet care. Aside from occasional job interviews or appointments, I’m available for walks, drop-ins, playtime, and overnight care on both weekdays and weekends. With my open schedule, I’m able to be very attentive and make sure pets get consistent care, plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship while their owners are away. I care for every pet like they’re my own and always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. In a client’s home, I do my best to stick closely to the pet’s normal routine with feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and any specific instructions the owner provides. I also make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and supervision throughout the day. I’m very attentive to a dog’s behavior and comfort level, and I always prioritize creating a calm, safe environment. I also know how important trust and communication are, so I keep owners updated with messages and photos so they can feel confident their pet is being well cared for.
