“Avery was very sweet and gave us daily updates and pics of our Nala. Having kitties of her own, she knew how to get our cat to warm up to her and was patient with her! We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing she was in good hands!”
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.”
“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!”
“This was our first time ever hiring a pet sitter so we didn’t quite know what to expect. We picked Lindsay based on her profile and reviews and we liked that she lived really close. We met her and immediately knew that she would be great with our two cats and dog. They all immediately took to her as well which was a great sign! We only did a two day one night trip but we will definitely look forward to having Lindsay watch our pets again! She communicated how they were doing and sent lots of great pictures. Thank you so much for taking such good care of our pets while we were able to go on a quick trip. Looking forward to longer trips in the future and I’ll know that our pets are in great hands!”

“Prior to meeting Ron, I was very nervous about leaving Mina at a sitters or dog daycare. But after meeting Ron, all of those reservations and nervousness completely disappeared. He provides an excellent dog care service. I would highly recommend him to anyone who needed a highly qualified, capable and caring dog sitter. If Mina could speak I'm sure she would say the same! ”

“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.”
“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!”
“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!”
“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!”
“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!”
“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!”
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.
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.
“Absolute wonderful rovers, will definitely be rebooking in the future!! Thank you so much Ramon and Nicole for taking such good care of our boys!! They loved their stay 🥰🥰”
“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!"”
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!
“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’ve been watching pets for about 9 years now. I am very active so I will play with them and walk them as much as needed. I have two dogs of my own who are my favorite things in the world! I am working part time right now as a kids soccer coach so I have lots of time on my hands to watch your pets! Weekdays and weekends I am free :) I live in an apartment so no fence but there’s lots of sidewalks around me to walk the dogs on. Also, I own a pretty good sized kennel if needed. I love to walk so can walk your dogs as much as they need!
“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!”

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.
“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!!”
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.
“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!”
“Michael does excellent work. He is always on time, provides excellent, thorough info on the walk and status of our pet. He is very caring, and playful with our pet. Michael is also respectful of our home, takes off his shoes when entering and always cleans our pets paws after the walk. I highly recommend Michael.”
“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.”
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!
About: Hi, I'm Sophie! I grew up surrounded by animals and have been pet sitting for over 12 years. I also volunteer at a local animal shelter, where I regularly walk dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I provide dependable, loving care so your pet will be in good hands. I work 3 days a week so I have lots of time to keep your pets happy! My schedule varies weekly and can be flexible. I follow your pet's normal routine to help them feel comfortable and happy. I'll make sure they have fresh food and water, potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and plenty of affection
About: I am a huge animal person and love to take care and play with your pets of any kind! I have been cat sitting and dog walking for years for family and neighbors, and have always been there for even a short pop-in visit. Working in my local animal shelter I specialized in both feline and canine care, and know everything about keeping your pet happy and healthy. I have two cats of my own that I treat like my babies and grew up with dogs all my life, and I hope I can treat your pets as good as my own! I am currently working part time with a varying schedule, but will typically have the same days off every week which will allow me to have a more consistent schedule when caring for your pet. I will always approach a new dog or cat with caution and assess their behavior before jumping right in, not only for my well-being but also theirs to avoid any extra stress.

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.
