“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! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Susan was terrific. She sent us pictures and we could see just how happy our little Benton was at her home. Our flight home was delayed and she was so understanding about us picking him up late. We will definitely trust Susan with our little guy again.”
“Derrika was absolutely phenomenal with Baker!!! She went above and beyond, truly treating him like family. She’s so genuine, caring, and attentive. It gave me such peace of mind knowing he was not only safe but truly LOVED. I can’t recommend her enough!!!”
“Alyssa and her furry fam were wonderful! We received lots of photos and updates regarding our pup's activities. He had so much fun romping with his two new friends. Alyssa will definitely be at the top of our list next time we need a doggy sitter. Thanks Alyssa!”
“Brittany was so great, fast responses every time, Norman had a great time, I was afraid he wouldn't want to come home with me, their dog was so nice, Norman had a great time playing with him. So happy that he got so much exercise and fun while I was away.”
“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!”
“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!”
“I was nervous leaving Tommy at first with someone I had not met but Tommy was in excellent hands. Brandi sent me some pictures which my kids loved seeing.”
“Dana, along with her son and Herbie, her dog, provided exceptional care for my little girl. I entrusted them with my highly energetic puppy and was pleasantly surprised to pick up a tired but content pup the next day. 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!”
“Becky is absolutely wonderful. We always know he is in good hands with her. She sends photos and videos every day to show us how happy he is to be hanging out with her.”
“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!”
“Linda was amazing! She was an absolute lifesaver and did great with my little dog (who can be a bit energetic and needy at times). Linda never missed a beat, and even sent little updates on how she was doing. Highly recommend, and your dogs are in EXCELLENT hands with her!”
“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!”
“Cassie and Ben and their kids are the best! I know Berkley is loved and well cared for while I'm away, and I can't say enough good things about them!!!”
“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!”
“Mary did great taking care of our spoiled dogs. She communicated well and was quick to respond to my questions. The dogs came home happy and tired...a good combination!”
“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.”
“Stephanie was amazing with our dog. She showed so much care and kindness - it helped relieve my anxiety about leaving him. I loved receiving pictures and hearing how he was doing- I could see that he was happy with Stephanie!”
“Laura was the absolute best! Took in my anxious big baby pittie and loved him from the first second. My boy seemed so comfortable and Laura provided pictures, videos and updates during my 24 hours away from Blue. I couldn't be happier or have asked for a better person to care for my boy 💙🩵”

“Sharon was the best pet sitter! When our litter box had some issues & our cats had a couple of accidents, she was so understanding & patient. She seriously went above & beyond with caring for our cats. I would recommend Sharon to anyone looking for a pet sitter. 10/10”
“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. What a wonderful service they provide with wonderful caregivers!”
“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!”
“Vanessa was wonderful with our cat. We haven't felt comfortable leaving him in a while but we felt comfortable with Vanessa and we were able to take a short trip, knowing he was in good hands. Her communication was great and I would definitely use her again. 🐾”
“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.”
“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!”
“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.”
“Rachel did a great job watching out for my cat when I was out of town on a business trip. She lives near by so it was easy for her to drop in. She played with my cat, feed him, scooped his litter, & petted him. I'm planning to use her services again the next time I have to go out of town.”

“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!”
“Nicole was amazing! Very friendly very personable. Took great care of our cat while we were away. Gave detailed reports of how he was doing. Kept track of some of his behaviors we’ve been monitoring. And sent some of the CUTEST photos. 10 out of 10. Will definitely book with her again in the future.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Westwood
Prices are estimates per day. Pricing may vary based on your search. A booking fee of 11% and taxes will apply.
“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!
“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!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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!”
“Paige was amazing! She made sure to keep us up to date while we were gone with messages and pictures. We felt completely comfortable with birdie staying there and knew she was in good hands. We will be using Paige again!!”
“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!”
“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.”
About: I grew up raising and caring for dogs, gaining hands-on experience with feeding, training, grooming, and understanding different breeds’ 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!
“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!”
“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!”
“Rachel was awesome! She answered my request fast, and accommodated watching my dog on very short notice. She sent me pictures right away, was communicative and super sweet. Will definitely be using her again!”

“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.”
“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!!”

“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.”
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.
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 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!”
“Chris was awesome for the week he came over and walked my large dog. I totally trusted him taking good care of her. I will definitely be booking with him again and would recommend to anyone else.”
“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.”
“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.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, from high energy German Short Hairs to 100 pound labs, I’ve cuddled and handled them all! I’m also a huge cat lover and have cared for pals cats as well as my own. I care for any animal how I care for my own, with patience, love, and attention to the ways they work to speak to us! I’m flexibly available, with proper notice through the summer I can make full time care work. Come the Fall I will have classes but beyond that I can work both weekends and week days! I always care for animals with attention to details. Every animal is different and I would look for guidelines from owners! I believe in leashes outside of the home all the time, including harnesses or muzzles depending on what the animal may require. Checking for potential hazards such as fencing, other animals, plants, poisons, sharps is equally important to me. Ultimately animals throw us curve balls, I feel very comfortable transporting animals for emergency care as well.
“Chandler did so great with our newly adopted dog. She was patient with him and I felt very comfortable having her in our home and taking my dog out for walks. Would highly recommend her to anyone.”
About: I've had dogs and cats my whole life. My husband and I currently have 3 cats and 2 dogs of our own - all rescues! We tend to gravitate towards the more challenging types, (older, behaviorally "challenged", or generally the "once you get to know them, they're really sweet" type). I've managed two different Doggy Day Care facilities: one here in KC, and another in White Plains, NY. I've also got years of experience working with dog rescue groups here in KC. Because of all this experience, there's no pet I can't handle. I'm comfortable with dogs and cats of all shapes, sizes and attitudes! My current full time job is 100% remote, so I'm very flexible when it comes to your pet care needs, (pop-ins or longer stays. As long as you have wifi, I'm good). From my time working in professional pet care, I'm very used to all types of situations. I free-feed my own pets, but I have no problem following your feeding/care schedules, or maintaining a medication regimen.

“We had such a wonderful experience sending our pup over to Jill's. They are a family of dog lovers and have obvious enthusiasm in caring for all dogs! Jill sent me regular updates and pictures while we were away, and was overall a great communicator. Her two dogs are very sweet and we so were glad that Rocky had playmates, both dog and human, during her stay.”
About: Animal lover with a racing addiction. If you would like me to give your pet an all-out exercise (while keeping them happy and safe of course) I am a great escort. I have always had dogs and an very comfortable making friends quick with dog speak through chase-and-run-away games, gentle mannerisms, and the best pets. I work best with high-energy animals but can always take any of your furry friends on a nice walk too I usually do 7-12 mile runs for my latest race training 2x a week. A mile or two with your furry friend is an easy pit stop for me. Anything shorter or slower is just as fine. I have 3 years of experience caring for patients in hospitals, so I am very equipped to help your dog in any situation. I have only been dogless for maybe 2-3 years in my life. I currently live without pets so I’m just looking for someone to let me borrow theirs!
“Erin was incredible! She messaged me throughout my trip and made my dog feel SO loved. I could that my dog was well taken care of because of the pictures of messages I received throughout her stay. I will definitely be using Erin again the next time I need to board my dog!”
