I am a very anxious dog mom and I felt at ease knowing that my babies were in great hands. If I could leave more than 5 stars, I would!”

It was obvious that Stormi was getting plenty of attention, care, and affection. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Leslie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy sitter. Thank you for taking such great care of Stormi!”

“This was the first time we've used Laurie to visit our cat, Ramsey, when we were away on vacation. She did an excellent job communicating with us, providing photos/videos, and getting to know Ramsey. We will definitely request Laurie in the future. It's always a relief to find someone dependable! Thank you, Laurie!”
“Paola was wonderful to my babies and always made the extra effort. She was on time and spent the entire hour with my babies and I truly appreciate that.

Thanks so much Paola and if I go out of town again im going to be hoping to have you watch them! 🫶🏼”

“Riley is the sweetest! Great at communicating and very thorough and sweet. Provided great updates for our sweet cat throughout the weekend. Will definitely reach out again for cat sitting!”
“Misti took care of my two cats twice a day for two weeks. She did everything I asked and sent extra notes and pics at each visit. She is a great communicator! Misti even got my shy cat, Paris, into a great routine early on and was able to pet her by the end of the two weeks. I called Misti the cat whisperer for her ability to win Paris over. The house was perfect and cats were happy when we returned home. I will definitely call upon Misti for pet care in the future!”
“We always try to book Billie Jo first anytime we’re out of town! She’s so sweet to our kitties. Thanks for always taking such great care of Artichoke and now Betty, too! ☺️”

“Laura was fantastic. She provided daily updates with notes and pictures of our furbabies, which kept us well-informed. While she stayed with our pets, the house was also well-maintained, tidy, and clean. We would definitely book Laura again for future stays with our furbabies.”
“I appreciated Dennis looking after my cat while I was away for a week. He came over for a meet and great before I went out of town and communicated very well. I would recommend Dennis and will hire him again if I can.”

“Lori was great! It was the first time leaving my puppy and she was patient, answered all of my questions and made me feel comfortable. She sent and couple of pictures and updates during the day which really helped. I would recommend!”
“Sarah was amazing. This was our first time with a Rover and Lexi felt comfortable and apparently did well. I appreciate Sarah being patient with Lexi as she navigates our new schedule and doggy daycare.”
About: I’ve had dogs from a young age. Staying with me, they will get attention, love, play time and cuddles. They will also get to play with my dog Lexi. I work from home full time so I’m always here. I’m able to go outside and play with your pups or give them extra attention. I have a fenced in yard with locks on my gates. I have a doggie door and the back door is always open. I have a 5 year old pup that is very calming and caring. She has been great with other dogs. She is very nurturing and always makes sure those in her space are safe. I have a couple of stories I can provide about her. I am very hands on and constantly checking on my girl and will do the same for your furbaby. Safety is very important to me, not only for your furbaby but for myself and my furbaby as well.
“Here's a review you can use: Brent did an excellent job taking care of my dog, Winnie, while I was on vacation. Knowing that Winnie was in good hands allowed me to fully enjoy my time away. Brent provided regular updates throughout the week, which gave me great peace of mind. It was like a home away from home for Winnie. I will definitely be using Brent again in the future!”
“Our puppy had a great time. He came home tired and just laid around the whole night. He acted just as tired as he does coming home from doggy daycare. Huge plus when you have a puppy. They took them on several walks during the day too! would definitely recommend and we hope Dennis gets to go back soon!”
About: I have had pets all my life from dogs and cats to gerbils, hamsters and fish. Even as a young child I was primarily responsible for most of the routine daily pet care. I'm a trained CNA with applicable caregiving skills. I also have extensive experience as a shelter volunteer having walked the dog and played with them as well as socializing the cats. I'm currently self employed as a home care aide and wish to take care of animals in between assignments or during days off. I do not have any responsibilities that would interfere with me taking care of your fur babies. I do not have a fenced in yard but I do have a yard stake. I live in a townhouse with an open grass backyard. I regularly take my dog to The Liberty, MO Stockdale dog park and can take yours there too if that's your preference. If you wish I can walk your dog as many times per day as you prefer. My neighborhood has paved sidewalks and walking paths that I routinely use to walk my dog daily. I have one cat and one dog and each get along with other cats and dogs very well but should there be any unforeseen issue, I can put your pet in my spare bedroom. I also own a wire dog crate for large dogs. I can crate your pet in your home or my home if you wish me to. I will take care of him or her in whichever way you prefer. I do not crate my dog but I did as a puppy to facilitate his potty training. My dog sleeps with me at night as does my cat sometimes. Both are friendly and well socialized but again, I can put either in a spare room or your pet if necessary. Both my pets are up to date on their vaccinations and they get a monthly pill for flea and tick prevention. I can do everything from long or short walks, taking them outside for potty breaks, administering food or medicine, playtime, etc.
About: I work from home so I have lots of time to dedicate to the pets I care for. I have three dogs all of which are friendly and used to having new friends come to stay as we have done rescue, foster, pet sitting for years. I love to meet new furry kids. I know how important it is to me that my fur babies are taken care of and are happy and comfortable when I have to travel. I want to be able to make other pet lovers feel comfortable to travel and know their pets are getting the same fantastic care as when they are home. I was a vet tech for 15 years so am qualified to make sure fur babies are healthy and happy while they are with me. As an added bonus I live 5 minutes from the airport so easy access for drop off and pick up on your way in and out of town
“Lauren was so wonderful to my baby Astro! He came home super tired. I don’t think he even missed me because of how much fun he had with her and her dog! Overall a great experience we will definitely be back!”
About: *I’m returning to Rover after a long break* Accepting New Clients My love for animals began early and my desire to have them as a part of my family was natural. I learned quickly that my pets preferred to be in the comfort of a home when I was away, where they could enjoy the luxuries of their favorite beds, outside backyard play and one on one attention. This is what lead to the development of The KC Pet Nanny. I found in 2004, when I was traveling, there were few acceptable options for my beloved furry kids aside from an expensive, cold kennels that were far from the home environment they appreciated & came to expect. How could I travel knowing my pets were not the happiest they could be? I couldn't. I set out to make dog sitting an option for everyone, even those within the animal rescue community which I am a proud part of. Each pet parent gets "Nanny Notes" detailing their dogs stay along with photos. *Subscriber to RelaxMyDog . com* I’m a retired Social Worker and I’m home most days. I also have a collage age daughter. I offer time outside to exercise and potty. We have socialization time inside. Most days, weather permitting, they are have the option of outside time every 2-3 hours, Our home environment is stable and harmonious. We have fun, we relax, we thrive. Whether it’s backyard play in a secured fence or indoor recess, safety is a priority.
“Our first experience using the Rover app and Laney were exceptional. We felt very comfortable with leaving our dog and he seemed very relaxed and at home with her! I would recommend using her again!!”
About: I’ve kept and rescued animals since a young age, which included tending to any wounds or injuries. My own pets were fosters, and most recently I fostered a lovely pittie who was then adopted. I’m very good with skittish cats, and I have a good understanding of basic dog training techniques. Lastly, I live a street away from a nice park which is good for dog walks. I love all animals, and spending time with them and caring for them is just as good for me as it is for them. I am currently self employed and jobs are few, so I have a very flexible schedule. Most, if not all my time would be dedicated to any pets in my care. I do have two of my own cats, so any dogs would have to be okay with cats in the house. All pets are different, with their own personalities, routines and likes/dislikes. Therefore, I plan to ask for detailed instructions regarding pet care. This can include things like a preference to crate the dog at night, dietary restrictions, favorite activities etc. I am detail oriented and appreciate any information or details owners can provide about their pets so that I may provide the best care possible.
“We were in Kansas City for the weekend for a game and had Cindy watch our dog, Opie. She was so wonderful. He was well taken care of and completely spoiled with her. He was a very happy boy when we picked him up.”
About: I’ve had yorkie’s, dobie’s, lab’s, shepherd’s and schnauzer’s. My little Stevie passed away in April after 13 years together. She can’t be replaced so I’m looking to fill the void by caring for others while my heart mends. I have a lot of free time without a set schedule so there is always time to snuggle and play and go for walks together. I have a 4’ tall fenced yard with neighbors that have dogs too. I stay outside with the dogs and do not leave them alone. Dogs will have the run of my house and are allowed on the furniture and the beds too.

About: Hello! I have been a dog walker/sitter for 8 years and have taken care of several clients and their dogs, including relatives and neighbors. I am 18 years old, with a dog of my own and a huge passion for dogs, who is currently studying to be a veterinarian. Additionally, I take pride and excellence in letting dogs outside, cleaning up their messes, having high patience and tolerance, ability to withstand dog barking/scratching/biting etc, bathing, feeding, watering, and dog walking. I also give special attention to any additional needs a dog may have At this time, I am not working any part time or full time jobs. I am willing to support you and your pet family at any time and during any day. Based on your preferences, I can walk and sit your dogs at any frequency. Just let me know what works best for them and I will be willing to accommodate you When it comes to my neighbor’s, relative’s, and my own dog, I take care of them by putting food and water in their bowls once they run empty, taking them outside when they line up at the door or every 0-2 hours, giving them lots of pets, separating any dog that gets in a fight with their sibling using calm/safe measures, plenty of walks and a kind demeanor. Any dog that is in my care will be in good hands
“Mikayla and Curtis go above and beyond with our new pup! Having their help every day to walk Behr and spend some time with our pup has been amazing! We will continue their service!”
“Kate was awesome and kept me up to date on everything as she took my Siberian Husky for a walk. He tends to pull on a leash and even saw some deer while Kate was walking him and she kept control and had a nice walk with him. I will be using Kate plenty of times for walks in the future. You should to!”
“Michaela has been walking my dogs twice a week since November. She is always on time, my dogs wait for her every day! Every day! They love Michaela, returning home exhausted and happy. She even cleans their muddy paws when they come home! Perfect dog walker.”
“Heather is a great dog walker. My Morkie loved going on walks with her. Due to the cold weather, Heather might not be able to walk Rascal and he misses her that day real bad. Heather shows him so much love!”
About: I have loved and owned animals as long as I can remember. I was raised with dogs, and other small animals! My daughter and I lost our Ollie in August 2022 at 4 years old to lung cancer and would love to care for your pet until we are ready for our next family member. I am comfortable taking care of pets of any age. I can provide food and water bowls, blankets, dog beds, stuffed toys, and I have a medium size kennel. All you need to bring is food, treats, leash/harness and any special comfort items. My daughter loves to go outside every chance she gets so they will have a lot of outside time when the weather permits. They will be allowed to roam the house as they want and are allowed on furniture – like I said- spoiled. I love to send pictures while you are gone to share their adventures while they are here. I work from home so I will be around a majority of the time to play and take care of your family member while they are here. I have a fenced in yard – it is a short fence so fence jumpers are probably not the best fit for me. We can crate them when we are gone if needed and will do our best to stick to their regular routine.
About: Hi there! I'm a lifelong animal lover, outdoor enthusiast, and firm believer that every walk should be the highlight of your dog's day. With over 20 years of experience walking dogs, I've met just about every personality - from energetic puppies to wise senior pups and even a few delightfully stubborn leash-pullers! I also spent time as a school farm tour guide, working with a variety of animals and learning how to confidently handle all kinds of temperaments. Whether your dog loves to power walk, stop and sniff every flower, or is still learning good leash manners, I'm happy to meet them where they are. I have experience leash training puppies and helping even the most determined dogs become more enjoyable walking companions using patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement. You can count on me for safe, reliable care, plenty of exercise, lots of encouragement, and, of course, adorable photo updates along the way. My goal is simple: send your pup home happy, tired, and already looking forward to our next adventure together. I can't wait to become your dog's new favorite walking buddy! I work part-time and am also a stay-at-home wife and mom, giving me a flexible schedule that's perfect for dog walking. I love being active and outdoors, so I'm available for dependable walks and plenty of one-on-one attention for your pup! Your dog's safety is always my top priority. I'll use secure leashing practices, stay alert to our surroundings, avoid unsafe situations, and tailor each walk to your dog's comfort and energy level. You can trust that your pup will be treated with the same care and attention I'd give my own.

About: I’ve had dogs all my life and it seemed the family dogs always gravitated toward me. I can’t imagine life without them! I’ve been caring for other’s dogs ever since I got my drivers license. The first dog I watched for a family (a beautiful Alaskan husky) had diabetes and required diabetic shots twice a day. Even though it hurt to have to give him shots, I loved having the opportunity to care for dogs other than my own. Since then I’ve had the opportunity of being the go-to dog watcher for several families with several different dog (and cat) breeds. I will make every effort to give your dog the same care that I was able to give Skyler and the rest of the dogs I’ve had the great fortune of watching and taking care of. There’s not many things that give me more joy than spending time with dogs. Now that I have more time on my hands in my 30’s I have recently gotten connected with volunteering with KC Pet Project. Dogs deserve all the love in the world. I currently work from home Monday and Friday so in addition to the weekend, it opens up availability to be present for the doggie. I’m in the office Tuesday - Thursday but available for morning/evening and quick bathroom breaks over lunch. I have a fenced in backyard and ample space inside the house to make your dog comfortable. I can crate if needed, but also have rooms that can function as “dog” rooms for the periods when I need to leave the house. I have my own Belgian Malinois, who mostly does her own thing. :)
“Dependable, knowledgable and kind are the key words I would use to describe Jennifer's service. She has cared for our puppy twice, both times she walked him with her own dog, fed him and played with him. I came home to find a happy content puppy. Thanks Jennifer!”
“Kyle has been great! He has great energy and our pups love him. He has great communication. He's punctual, he's flexible, and he has pockets full of treats. He has even been working with our baby to stop her from pulling on walks. I am so happy to have found him.”
