Highly-rated overnight sitters - Platte Woods
“This was my first time using Rover and had a great experience with Sharon and Glen. They took good care of Razzy, provided regular photos and updates and responded quickly to all of my questions. Will book with them again in the future.”
“Samantha was amazing and watched my cat for a few hours before a flight while I was home for the holidays. It was a last minute request and she answered and coordinated with me quickly and efficiently. She’s friendly, professional and close to the airport. Would definitely recommend boarding with Samantha!”
“Yuki, my Frenchie, played hard with Ashley’s dog and other big dogs. He loved pool time and determined he would sleep in Ashley’s bed. He had such a good time that I don’t think he wants to come home! I rebooked with Ashley a couple weeks from now. She sent me pictures several times. I highly recommend her!”
“Ellie was BEYOND AMAZING. I've never left my dog (baby) with ANYONE other than close friends or family, and i'm very anxiously attached to her. I was very very nervous leading up to my trip, but the second my boyfriend and I met Ellie, we felt 10000 times better. She sent me so many photos, and kept me up to date on everything. The photos really made me feel more comfortable during the trip, I could tell she was very happy and comfortable. Also, anytime we leave Baby she almost always skips her lunch. Baby was eating both meals every single day which was a huge sign to me that Ellie made her comfortable and at home. I would recommend Ellie to everyone!! If you have any hesitations, set up a meet and greet and you will feel at ease the second you meet her. I can't thank Ellie enough, I was worried I wasn't going to be able to enjoy my vacation due to my worries but I wasn't worried for one second while I was away. 1,000/10, will be using Ellie in the future <3”
“Best family out there to watch your puppers. Harley had a great time and always made me feel safe knowing she was in good hands. Communication and photos were 10/10. Definitely looking forward to letting them watch Harley again! Highly recommended sitters!”
“Very pleased with the service provided. Received updated about Mack and he was treated very good. Also received a couple videos and photos that I appreciated. Alex and Jacquelynne are very nice and would use them again.”
“Taylor was great! She made her home super comfy for our two dogs; one of which tends to be very anxious. Taylor put her at ease, which allowed us to enjoy our vacation, knowing our pups were being well loved.”
“Stephanie was fantastic! She was super communicative about Ruger and sent amazing pictures and videos along with the updates. He was so happy and came home zonked! She made the overnight process much easier and brought me ease while I had a long shift. I will be booking again!”
“Laurie was so welcoming to our Jojo, and although this first visit was somewhat stressful to our girl, Laurie continued to yry to make her comfortable. We're so appreciative of all the communication and helpful ideas for future visits. The pictures helped ease our stress as well. Definitely will be seeing Laurie again!”
“Bandit was so happy and calm when I picked him up. It was very clear he was comfortable and well taken care of! She took him on several walks and sent many pictures. He was a HAPPY BOY!!”
“Isha and Great took great care of our little dog recently. She came back happy and tired, which means they gave her a lot of love and attention. They also provided updates daily with photos. Highly recommend!”
“Rebecca was responsive and easy to communicate with. We got lots of updates and pictures which was amazing. Our dog came home exhausted. She must’ve played all week. Great experience.”
“After kenneling Max at the vet multiple times, he always seemed to come home stressed, anxious and out of sorts. After coming home from Sarah’s after 4 days there, it was the same old Max. No anxiety, no stress! Sarah was awesome! Texted pictures and kept us updated on how Max was doing. We are so happy we found a great home away from home for Max when we can’t take him with us!”
“Rachel was great! She clearly cares about and has the ability to put our dog at ease throughout the stay. We appreciated her flexibility and detailed updates. Would highly recommend! We hope to have her care for our dog again!”
“Michelle has a big heart for the dogs and spoils them with lots of love and toys. She has 2 adorable dogs of her own. We were happy to know she has a 6ft fence to keep my fence jumper in and safe. Both my dogs seemed happier and more at ease when we picked them up opposed to boarding. We would love for Michelle to watch our kids again sometime. Thanks!”
“Lori was awesome! She was on time for the meet & greet and for pickup. She promptly returned my texts both before and during my dog’s stay. Prim enjoyed her stay so much that she jumped back into Lori’s car at pickup. Highly recommend!”
“So impressed with Laura and I didn’t have any worries at all. She was attentive to his needs and administering eye drops. I was grateful to see numerous pics and I could tell he was having a good time! Will definitely book again!”

She was punctional, brought toys for him to play with, and cared about his overall well-being. I will definitely use her again. She also brought the mail in, too.”
“Fantastic job, she kept me updated on my cats while I was away. Also when the power went out, she went right over to make sure they were safe and put my mind at ease! Thank you”
“Liz is an absolutely amazing sitter. She takes really good care of our 2 cats and house while we’re away (mail, packages, plants). She even came in and saved the day when we were away. We are so grateful for you, Liz and we will use you every time as long as you’re still doing Rover!”
“Natalie was perfect for stopping in on our cat Maeve! She gave us a good update with each visit, sent pictures and was very attentive to our sweet girl! She had to clean up a few cat messes and we are so thankful she did. We will definitely use her again in the future.”
“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!”

About: I've owned dogs, fish, a bird, and a turtle and am eager to assist with your pets! I've also sat for cats and dogs, in the past. I'm currently working part-time so my schedule allows for plenty of time to spend with your pets! I have weekends available for walks and drop-ins. I am reliable and pay great attention to detail. I have a natural rapport with animals and am looking forward to meeting and spending time with your pet(s)!
“Kate was a pleasure to work with! She was easy to contact, extremely responsive, and sent multiple pictures during each visit. Our cat Daisy was well taken care of and looked to enjoy her time with her new friend. Would definitely recommend Kate's services!”
About: Hi, I’m Allie — a lifelong animal lover with a soft spot for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Whether your furry friend is energetic and playful or needs a calm, patient presence, I adapt to their needs like they’re my own. What sets me apart? I go beyond the basics: I provide personalized care, constant communication (yes, expect lots of cute photo updates!), and a safe, loving environment where your pet can truly relax. I treat every animal with the same love and respect I’d give my own. From cuddles to long walks, I make sure your pet feels at home — even when you’re away. Let’s meet and see if it’s a paw-fect fit! I work Monday through Friday from 7:30 to 4:30, with two of those days remote. I also get an hour-long lunch break, which gives me time to check in or let your babe out mid-day if needed. I always do my best to keep your pet’s routine consistent and stress-free, even with my work schedule! Whether in your home or mine, I stick to your pet’s routine, give them lots of love, playtime, and care, and make sure they feel safe and happy while you’re away.
“Kellie has been excellent for Walter. We used her for drop-in visits and she really went above and beyond what she was hired to do more than once. Our work schedules changed so we haven’t needed visits lately, but I wouldn’t hesitate to use her again in the future. I would highly recommend Kellie!”
About: I grew up on a farm, so I’ve always had animals/pets in my life. I’ve owned everything from small dogs to big dogs and cats. I’m a teacher so all pet care will have to be in the evening after school. I typically will finish the school day at 3:30. I own two cats and provide them with safe home environment with plenty of enrichment. I will make sure that your pet is well taken care of and they’ll have a fun time too.
About: Recently graduated from Mizzou, I have spent the last 2 years helping to care for our house pets, including two cats and one dog. I worked to feed, walk, and engage with my pets during this period. Prior to this, I lived and cared for many animals back in my hometown: 3 dogs, 2 guinea pigs, 2 parrots, and a turtle. Because of this, I deliver versatile care, and understand that every pet has its own unique needs! I work 2 part time jobs, both in healthcare, where my hours are stacked on certain days of the week. This gives me flexibility to help care for your pets! Though each week can be a little different, I have my schedule set throughout the summer and can plan far ahead! I have such a big heart for animals! I love giving them attention and care above and beyond what's expected. I prefer to do this in a house sitting situation due to having 5 other roomates with animals here, but I have a car and am willing to do overnights!

Perfect for high energy dogs - Platte Woods
“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've taken care of cats and dogs since I was 13. I'm 35. There's plenty of space in the house and a fenced in yard. I am currently staying home for the summer with my 4 year old son. We will be home full time! Let us help with your fur baby! I have a fenced in yard and a basement if the animal needs space. We will take the dogs out regularly. They will be safe and loved here.
“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 have many years of experience working with animals. I also have a BS in Rehabilitation Services Education. I am a foster for several rescues in the KC and Springfield area. I love all animals and will take great care of yours! I am available any time. Set up your date and times at least three days in advance, cancellations three days in advance as well. Thanks. I am able to provide care in your home overnight or during the day. Whatever your pet needs are, I will be there for them.
“Nathan was great! Quick to respond and took our little guy for daycare on VERY short notice. No communication issues and we would definitely trust him to pet sit for us again.”
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
“Valeshia is amazing! My dog gets super excited to stay with her for daycare and boarding and I know he’s being well taken care of. I highly recommend letting Valeshia care for your fur baby.”
About: Dogs have been a part of my life since I was a child. Ive seen it all. And many times I’ve taken care of friends and family’s pets and cared for them just like my own. I’m currently working from home so I have plenty of time through the week to care for your pet. My weekends can also be flexible! We have a spacious 2 bedroom apartment with plenty of room to roam. It also includes a dog park so they can roam freely. There’s also plenty of neighborhoods surrounding us to offer long dog walks. We also have a little dog of our own, so you’re dog will have a companion
“Thank you for being so flexible with my crazy schedule. Tango, 6 pound Teacup Morkie, and Sasha, adult Miniature Schnauzer had a great time. Your children made me feel very comfortable”
About: Experienced dog caregiver! I have cared for all sizes and temperaments from the chillest big guys to the craziest small ones (and vice versa of course) Extremely organized and attentive. I will execute all your needs as desired. My goal is to make you feel assured that you left your best friend with someone who you can trust, appreciate and communicate easily with. Please reach out with ANY and ALL questions - thanks!! I work from home 3 days out of the week, with no time restrictions. So plenty of time to walk or drop in on your besties! I am also available most weekends! I have no problem packing my things and coming to you so your fur babies can feel comfortable. At the same time, I understand the uneasy feeling of having a stranger in your home, so dropping off your fur baby to me is always another option!
“Murphy has been going to daycare with Rebecca for a couple of months and has had a great time. Rebecca is a great host and Murphy always comes home happy and tired. She’s the best!!”
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.
“My dog absolutely loves coming to this doggy daycare! He gets so excited every time we pull up to the building. It's clear he has a blast playing with the other dogs and getting attention from the staff. Knowing he's in such a caring and fun environment makes my day so much easier. We've returning, and it's the best decision we've made for his socialization and happiness!”
“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.”

“Kamila has been taking my Goldendoodle on walks while I am at work and has been so amazing! She communicates very well with me and has been so flexible with my nursing schedule. I highly recommend her if you are looking for someone!!”
About: I have taken care of all sorts of dogs through the years and find joy in going for walks around the neighborhood and playing and meeting every single dog I see. I work full time, 3 12 hour shifts a week and my other 4 days I love having something to do whether that is going on walks, popping in to make sure dogs have everything they need and having potty breaks. During drop ins or walks I like to follow the owners instructions carefully so that each pet can maintain their normal routines and reduce stress. I make sure each pet has water, any food they need, toys if able, exercise, and attention. With walks I stay very mindful of potential dangers or triggers to avoid any unwanted situations and pay attention to any sins of overheating, exhaustion or discomfort. During drop ins if a pet uses a crate I always make sure it’s locked and checked before leaving as well as leaving the surrounding how I arrived and with locked doors. It’s always fun to send the owner updates and pictures of their pet while away to ensure they are safe and getting the care they need.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats for quite sometime and even have experience with giving dogs pills as well. I’m willing to not only stay and house sit but ensure the animals have a good time. I work part time and have a lot of gaps in my day for side jobs. I live an active lifestyle so there’s no such thing as too many walks or too much playing! I make sure water is full all the time and food arrives on time with no fuss. I can easily pick up after any animals ensuring a clean lawn as well as a clean home. No pet goes unloved!
“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!”
“I am so grateful for Carolyn! She answered me so fast with a last minute booking and was here in less than 20 minutes! She was so accommodating and sweet! I would highly recommend!”
About: I just moved to the Kansas City area and would like to starting working as a dog sitter again. I have been dog sitting for friends and family for over a decade and I was a dog walker in Chicago for 4 years. I'm single, so I don't have any personal obligations that will prevent me from spending all my time with your pup. I work 8-5 so I have plenty of time in the mornings and evenings to devote to playing and walking. I'm also available for lunch time walks! I'm big on communication. I always text/call when I arrive, I check-in throughout the day, and I love to send photos of us having a great time! Please consider me from all your pup related needs I work 8-5 but have an extra long lunch to provide an afternoon walk. I don't work any weekends so I available for long holiday weekends to spend extra time playing and getting your pup some extra exercise. I believe pets feel more comfortable staying in their own homes while their humans are away. It helps them stick to their familiar routines and reduces stress
About: Howdy there & nice to meet you, I am a kindred soul who has experience working in doggy day cares/boarding camps as well as volunteering hours at various local animal shelters. I am an aspiring pet groomer and will be taking classes for that soon as well. I turned my passion to vibe with furry friends into paid play dates. I am a natural care giver and would love to meet your little (or big) one! I work a hybrid remote job so my schedule is super flexible. I have to already incorporate my schedule around my rightfully spoiled only child (Lincoln, my 8-year old Husky mix). I also combine pet care time with my self-care routine for exercise/physical activity. (Work smarter not harder). I have a fenced yard/porch, as well as a doggy door built into the door that leads to said yard/porch and security cameras that cover the yard so we can always see what's going on. As well as various toys, treats, and walking equipment always available to all our furry friends.
About: I have been in the animal field since I was 16, completing a veterinary assistant program during high school. During Covid, I helped my aunt foster 3 rescue beagles as well as caring for her other two dogs. Since then, I have worked at multiple doggy daycare and boarding facilities and have pets of my own! I work 6am to 6pm every Tuesday-Friday so ideally, I’d need flexibility on drop-in visits for those days, but I have open availability on the weekends + Monday I am currently only providing drop-in visits which means your pet/s will stay in the comfort and safety of their own home. I always do meet n greets where the pet will be staying.
About: I’ve cared for and loved dogs and cats since I was young. From puppies to seniors, I’ve had the pleasure of loving them all. I currently have my own big dog who I absolutely adore. He has given me plenty of experience with being able to handle strong and energetic dogs. I work for myself from home so my schedule is incredibly flexible. I will always try to be as accommodating as I possibly can. Happy to care for your fur babies whenever you need. I am very conscientious about the safety of both your pet and home. When welcoming me into your space to care for your pet, I make it a priority to be mindful of these things to give you peace of mind.
About: I've taken care of cats and dogs since I was young. In middle school my mom started my cat obsession (bathe, feed, cuddles of course, changing litter box, administer medicine) and although I still love them, dogs definitely tend to be more theatrical. : ) I have lots of patience for pups and stubborn older dogs (let's be honest, we can all be a little stubborn) (feeding, walks, baths, administering medicine, belly rubs) I have a theatrical dog named Owen (sometimes I think he was an actor in his past life) to keep your pups company throughout the day. I currently work from home full-time and have a flexible schedule. I'm able to take dog park/walking breaks, or check-in on your pets when needed. My apartment has a long walking trail (we walk in the morning and evening) and a dog park that we go to twice a day as well. *My apartment does not have any breed restrictions, I understand that some breeds get bad reps, but I was raised with a pitbull that is truly a teddy bear.* When dropping in on pets I like to ask lots of questions at first, because I want to make sure the care is consistent to their daily routine.
