Her home is warm, loving, and the perfect environment for any pup. She sent regular updates and tons of photos, which made being away so much easier. You can tell she genuinely loves animals and treats every dog like her own. Highly, highly recommend Nicole. Your pets will be in the best possible hands! 🐾”

“We feel so fortunate that we found Sharon and her husband to take care of our baby on such short notice. We boarded her at her vet's for our last trip and she came home sick with a virus. So..needless to say we were concerned about where she could go this time. Luckily I heard about Rover through a family member. Checked it out. Found Sharon. Who will love your dog and make them feel at home. Thanks again Sharon. Karma will miss you ????”
“Gail is THE BEST!! You can tell she really loves animals, especially the dogs. She made my Fredo feel very relaxed and at home under her care. She has a lovely home and makes all of the dogs she cares for very comfortable. I would use her again to watch Fredo. Fredo can't wait to go back to play with Sky! Thanks Gail.”

“Angelica was great to work with. We had a pre-meeting at her home to introduce my dog to her pets. She made sure her pets were secure when we arrived for drop off and gave my dog time to settle in. She sent regular updates and pics. She even sent us home with a clean dog pen. Will definitely use Angelica again and recommend her highly!”

Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”

“We left our dog for a pretty long stay with Seth and she did great. We appreciated the updates and check-ins along the way. She came home healthy and appropriately tired!”

I would love to be an additional asset In providing your pet with quality care I am working part-time as a caregiver and have plenty of free time on my hands when I’m not working my 2 days a week. I do tend to work additional shifts on the same days, every Monday and some Tuesday’s.

“Gabby, thank you so much for taking such good care of our senior cat (age 18) at your house for 6 days. I know she can be high maintenance with her medications and potty issues.

About: I have three dogs, two wonderful twin golden retrievers that are 5 years old. They are my whole world and so are my sister and brother’s dogs/cats! My sister has been doing rover in KC for over 7 years so it’s been a great way to experience rover and the necessities for all kinds of pets. Additionally, I’ve been a volunteer at Unchained Melodies puppy nursery and KC Pet Project for the last few years <3 I’m currently a post-graduate student preparing for medical school here in a year so I have a lot of time for longer term pups. I’m preparing for work part-time as well in the fall but I have a very open and flexible schedule. I have helped dog sit for years now and of course I’ve taken care of my own dogs since they were just babies. Unfortunately, I’m unable, for the most part, to have animals stay at my house however, I’m open if necessary. I walk and feed my own dogs daily and they take a lot of space so I want them to feel comfortable in their own environment.

“My two small Chihuahua mixes absolutely love their time at Mike and Sharon's! We use them mainly for daycare and they usually always have a couple small puppy friends there, so they are exhausted and sleep all night when they get home! We have used them for boarding too and have nothing but praise. If you need a sitter or lower stimulation doggy daycare, Sharon's your girl!”

About: I have had dogs in my family since I was a child and have years of experience with various breeds. I work from home most days and happy to get active with the doggos. I have a loving a cuddly home and treat all my fur guests as family. As someone with a senior dog, I am very patient and know how to accommate the additional needs some pets may have. With my flexible work from home schedule, I am able to be home during the week, to take your dog out for walks, potty breaks, cuddle, and to play. I am also available on weekends. With the exclusion of running errands, while your dog is with me, they will never be left alone for more than a few hours extended amount of time. I have a fenced in back yard for your dog to run free in. I also have a senior chihuahua who is very chill and unbothered, so as long as your dog likes other dogs, they will get along just fine. I do let dogs sit on the couch and get on the bed, however, I will respect that boundary if you do not allow that for your pets. I know all families have different schedules for potty and feeding times, and my schedule is flexible so I can keep your dog on track even while you are gone.
About: I had a dog a few years ago when I was young but unfortunately we had to let him go. My love for animals has always been strong and over the years I have regularly cared for friends’ and family’s dogs during that time, including both energetic puppies and gentle senior dogs. While I have limited experience with cats, I’m open to caring for them and excited to learn more if given the opportunity. I work a part-time job and work only 2-3 days a week so I have a pretty flexible schedule. Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine, so I can accommodate a variety of needs, including extended stays or last-minute bookings. I live in a pet-friendly neighborhood with a big fenced yard. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I absolutely love animals and will make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and has a sweet, stress-free time while in my care.

She sent us several pictures and two of her sons helped watch the girlz and walked them out to us when we picked up. The boys were very polite and the girlz seemed to like them a lot.”
About: Hi, I am Tricia and i have had dogs all my life. I love pets very much and have worked at local animal shelters. Working in animal welfare has graced me with all sorts of experience with all types of animal behaviors and personalities. I also have lots of animal medical experience. I have worked with animals with aggression, separation anxiety, seizures, deaf, shy and fearful and much more. I can also medicate animals in any way needed. I am experienced in giving shots and pilling animals. Basic training is something I like to work on with all animals as I believe it helps them not only build their confidence but also keeps their mind busy and wears them out! Please let me know if I can help you out! I am currently working from home meaning I can spend tons of time with your pups staying at my home! We also love to go get pup cups often! I have a fenced yard and dogs that also love other dogs. My house is centered around dogs with lots of comfy beds, toys and other fun stuff!
“Erin was fantastic with my dog! He loves being outside and Erin has a ton of property for Ollie (my dog) to explore and a pond that he loves to swim in. She’s always watching the dogs so I know he’s safe and in good hands. If you have a dog that likes to be outside or just wants to be loved on then I highly recommend Erin. My dog is very particular about who he trusts and has some separation anxiety but he is so comfortable with her. Erin treats my dog as if he were her own and I couldn’t ask for a better sitter for him.”
“This is like a second home for Zion. He's receiving the attention from Kathleen, her dogs and the freedom to run and play in her home, as well as her fenced in back yard which we don't have at our home. We're hoping to extend Zion's one-day stay to many overnight stays that will help fit our traveling and working schedule.”

About: I am blessed with a sweet boy of my own and have had dogs in the house growing up. I have always had a natural touch with animals. For instance, my neighbor has a Saint Bernard who is not sure of humans in general but especially human males, however this dog becomes a giant puppy when I come around. I am a full time student doing school online so pet care can be done anytime in the mornings and afternoons and on any day except for Sundays. I have a fenced in yard at home, though I keep a watchful eye on my dog when he is outside. While inside, I keep anything that might catch his eye out of reach, and make sure he is always properly entertained. This happens to be easy for my dog since he loves antlers to chew on.

About: I am a caring, easy going, and loving individual who loves to spend his days hanging out with animals! I have two pups of my own, and several niece and nephew cats/dogs. Theater is a hobby, but animals are my passion! I am a theater/history major and am home during the day Monday-Friday. I spend around 3-4 hours a evening working on plays. However, do take note Saturdays I am typically gone for a few hours in the afternoon-evening. I have enough time to love, care for, and play with your babies! I specialize in caring for elderly and high energy dogs. I have worked with multiple Belgian Malinois and dog sit for a family that has two Belgian Malinois, and a Great Pyrenees. Both of which have drastically different lifestyles. I play with, care for, and love on each animal differently depending on its needs! I had a dog with diabetes who got three injections a day. This required a schedule that was easy for me to pick up on!

She has a lovely home and makes all of the dogs she cares for very comfortable. I would use her again to watch Fredo. Fredo can't wait to go back to play with Sky! Thanks Gail.”
“A fantastic experience with Stevie watching my Darlin'. First time I've left her and she was very happy and well cared for when I picked her up. Much better experience than with previous pet. Would feel very comfortable leaving her with Stevie in future! Thanks!”
“Sarah was wonderful with all three of my dachshunds. She kept in contact with me and sent me pictures! This was the first time I left the two youngest with anyone and the continously worked with them to gain their trust. I would definitely ask her to watch our girls again. Thank you Sarah!”
“Coney was fantastic and so easy to work with! This was our first time leaving our dog with a Rover sitter, and we were super nervous, but Coney made the experience stress-free. She was great at communicating, sent us daily photos, and made sure our pup was well cared for. We truly appreciated her updates and the peace of mind she provided. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
“Our pup seemed to have an amazing time staying with April and her family! I got frequent updates with pics and was so happy Tucker was able to spend the weekend in a home with another dog and kiddos so he wasn’t too bummed to be away from home. Highly recommend! ?”
“This was our first time boarding our pup, so I was nervous. Mackenzie was great, providing pics and updates through the week! She has an obvious love for all dogs! Our pup had so much fun... and she's exhausted from all the playing. Thanks for easing this nervous pup mama's mind while on vacay!”
“We left our dog for a pretty long stay with Seth and she did great. We appreciated the updates and check-ins along the way. She came home healthy and appropriately tired!”
“Noreen & family work very hard to make my dog comfortable when he stays there. Though he is always nervous when I leave him the pictures she sends assure me that he settles down and is comfortable. Always gets walks even though they also have fenced yard.”
“Awesome boarding family. Anne went above and beyond for my untamed puppy. She had all types of activities for him and a family of fur babies that welcomed my little one with opened arms. Highly recommend!”
“I was so anxious about leaving my girls for a week but Kristina was great! She send me pictures and gave me updates to let me know my girls were ok & they took to her quickly. I would highly recommend her.”
“We were happy to have found Shawn. He made sure that we and our dog were comfortable before the stay. He was proactive in asking about our preferences to take care of our dog, as well as her likes/dislikes. Throughout the stay he provided updates, was responsive, and was flexible for drop off and pickup. Our dog was at ease with him when she hasn’t been with other caretakers. We would happily choose him again.”
About: I have taken care of pets since I was 10 years old, including family pet care, professional pet care and personal pet care. I am experienced in dog walking, dog boarding, in home pet sitting and diabetic pets/sick pets. I have reliable transportation and am available at all times to give your pet the care they need! I am committed to being available at all times including weekends and evenings. Caring for animals is something I genuinely love, so it doesn’t feel like a task, it’s something I intentionally build into my schedule to make sure pets are happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I care for pets as if they were my own. I pay close attention to their individual routines, personalities, and needs, whether they’re in my home or a client’s home. This includes making sure they’re fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of exercise, and receive lots of affection and attention. I love animals, so I genuinely enjoy spending time with them, playing, going for walks, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I also keep a close eye on their behavior and health, and I follow any specific instructions the owner provides to ensure their pet feels happy and well cared for while they’re away. As a diabetic dog owner myself I am committed to giving your pet the best care I can!
