“Lindsay is wonderful with my big guy. Sends me updates and pictures while I’m away so that I know how he is doing. It’s so nice having someone that I can trust to take care of my pup when I’m out of town. Thank you!!”
“Patty is wonderful with our Baybee. It was the first time apart and for us pretty nerve wreaking, but every day I received pictures and updates that warmed my heart to see our little girl so happy.”
“Ashley is the best! She was so sweet and patient with our pup. Really made her apart of the family and showed her the best time while we were traveling for the holidays.”
“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!”
“Eric and Kristy took great care of Koka. We appreciated the personal care she recieved. The photos and updates were great. She seemed comfortable. They even helped her through her first night when she was feeling some anxiety sleeping at a new house.”
“My fur baby had an extended stay, and by extended I mean 6weeks that turned into 7weeks that turned into almost 8weeks (due to circumstances not in my control); but Mackenzie was very flexible and accommodating, allowing me to pick up and spend time with my pup when I was in town. He always had lots of other doggy friends to play with or given space if he needed it. He has anxiety and I was so worried about him coping with being away from me but Mackenzie handle all his strange quirks well.”
“Jack is always welcomed by Laura and any other pets staying at her house! She is so sweet to send pictures and updates of the days activities! She is our first choice!”
“This is our dogs 3rd stay with Catherine. I have only felt comfortable leaving them with family before I met Catherine. She is truly an animal lover and you can enjoy your time away from them without worry. Our terrier mix has always been skittish with people and after his 1st stay with her ran right up to her door ahead of us. I highly recommend her to anyone so you can enjoy a stress free vacation.”
“Samantha provided a safe, clean and extra loving home to our dog while we were away! She was communicative, and sent updates and photos throughout the week. I can tell our pup was so loved and well cared for!! Thank you to you and your family!!”
“The best dog sitter in KC! My dog Coco has the best time with Angelica and her dogs. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a great dog sitter who's friendly, accommodating, and an overall great experience. You can tell she really cares about you and your dog”
“Sharon & Glen both took great care of my 2 dogs while I was out of town. One of my dogs has a hard time getting around and they were accommodating and so gentle. They also have the perfect back yard to let the other run off energy. Will absolutely book again for future travel needs. Thank you!!”
“This was our first time using this service, and I am so glad I found Taylor! We were very hesitant with the idea of leaving our dog with a stranger, but Taylor's reviews and her prompt answers to my numerous questions, we were quickly put us at ease. We received daily updates and pictures, and it was obvious to us that Moose was having the best time and was well cared for. Before we picked him up, I had already reached out to Taylor to rebook with her for an upcoming trip!”
“Robin was very understanding with our dog, Tabitha's needs - with her in mourning after the recent passing of our other dog, her closest companion and with us needing to be away from home for 8 days. Robin listened to all of the details of feeding and meds. Then she stayed in contact with us, updating us on Tabitha's adjustment to her new surroundings, sending great pics and playing the games she likes to play (FRISBE!) Robin was also VERY accomodating with our crazy flight schedules on drop off & pick up. Tabitha had such a good time she has returned to her joyful self! I highly reccomend Robin and she will be the first person we will reach out to the next time we need a dog sitter!”

“Robin is a gem. I'm pretty sure our cat, toby, was sorry to see us come home because Robin spoiled him. Seriously, she took the extra steps to ensure that Toby was safe and comfortable while we were away. She played with him and brought special treats from home. She made sure his litter box was cleaned daily and his water was fresh. She updated us daily with photos. I highly recommend Robin and I know we will be using her again.”

“Anabeth was great! Kept me updated about my cat when I was gone for an extended weekend. She sent me pictures and videos. Tux loves new company because he enjoys the pets! I'll definitely use her again.”
“She went above and beyond to secure my cat. We had to leave for the airport and cat would not come home. Victoria came by two extra times to look for her. Third time was the charm. Cat spent the rest out the time safely in the house.”
About: I’ve been the go to pet sitter for family members and friends. Whether it’s keeping them company for a couple hours to just stopping by to let them out and check their food/water to watching them for multiple days. I work full time and don’t have the ability to work from home. On weekdays after 5pm I’m free to hang out with your pups! During the weekend I have more flexibility to watch or check on your pets. I don’t have any pets and currently live in an apartment complex. There is a lot of open grass space around my apartment complex and is in a good area to walk in. If you prefer your pup be in a crate if I have to leave that will need to be provided, but as long as they are house trained I have no problem with your dog free-roaming my apartment.

I love all breeds and will do my very best to provide trustworthy care for your loving pet! I will treat and love your dog just as if it were my own! I have a toy Australian Shepherd named, Wren who is 8 years old and since I didn’t think 1 dog was enough, I got another Australian Shepherd who’s name is Piper and she is 6.

“Robin was a fabulous host that was able to accommodate Lucy last minute. Lucy looked like she had an amazing time at Robin's house! Thank you Robin for providing Lucy a fun day!!!”
“I was visiting the area to attend a course and found this resource on Rover. Lindsey (and her family) is absolutely wonderful! She accepted my fur baby as one of her own. Noodle loved being there which was a great relief to me so I could attend my courses without additional pet caregiving stresses. I can’t say enough good things about this experience and will definitely use the service (especially with Lindsey) any time I am in the area. I hope that if I have to travel elsewhere that I find someone as great as Lindsay to care for my baby Noodle.”

About: Dogs must be ok in a kennel. 😊 I have worked on some level in animal welfare my entire life. Since 2013, I own & operate a licensed rescue for dogs.

If not, your pooch can do solo play time.

“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our fur baby. This was our first time leaving our girl with someone we didn’t know but Alex answered all our questions and we felt more than comfortable leaving her for the day.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my unwavering dedication to the well-being of each pet. I have experience in providing compassionate care for senior dogs, making sure they are comfortable and happy. My love and respect for animals drive me to go above and beyond to meet their needs. Pet care is an integral part of my daily routine. Every morning, I start by feeding them followed by a walk or playtime to ensure they get exercise. Throughout the day, I make sure they have fresh water and check on them regularly to ensure they are comfortable and happy. In the evenings, I spend quality time with them, reinforcing training and providing affection. On weekends, I often take them on longer walks and outing. When caring for pets in my clients' homes, I stick to their usual routines to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I ensure they are fed on time, have fresh water, and get plenty of exercise through walks and playtime. I also provide lots of affection and attention, and I am diligent about cleaning up after them to keep the home tidy. Additionally, I keep an eye out for any signs of health issues and provide any necessary medications or special care as instructed by the owner.
“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.”

About: I always insure that pets are comfortable! I’ve taken care of old cats and dogs, and I when they are old like that it’s important to meet their needs first, as most of the time they need a lot of guidance and help. I am currently going into online college, so most of my day is free! I often sit down and watch TV or play video games, but I mostly enjoy writing and drawing in my free time I personally like to ask owners how there pets are in the company of others, as well as if any weather bugs them! The comfort of my pets, and owners is always my number 1 priority! I want to make sure that they are comfortable around me, and I never approach any animal until I’ve let them sniff me, it’s important that they trust me to be around them.
About: I’ve taken care of others pets or my own most of my life. I have had my current dog for seven years. He just turned 12 so I also have experience with geriatric animals as well I am a single father so my availability can fluctuate depending on if you are okay having a a 3 year old come and help (fully supervised) . Want to be able to best meet everyone’s unique needs! I will follow any and all instructions left for me. I’ll make sure your pet feels like you never left the house and that every need is met.
About: I put 12 years as my experience with taking care of animals because that is how long I have had my own animals but I have been around animals my whole 32 years of life. My household consists of my husband and two daughters plus our 6 dogs, 2 cat, 1 bearded dragon, 1 snake, and 11 chickens. My husband and I pride ourselves on making sure our animals are well cared for, trained and loved! I am a teacher in Plattsburg. We have school 4 days a week, Tuesday-Friday. During the school year I am very limited on availability due to school, planning, and my kids activities. I am available for most breaks and during the summer. I am not easily scared or timid of any animal. My husband and I pride ourselves on giving our animals the best care possible. Unfortunately due to the amount of animals we have and my daughters, I am not able to offer in home care or able to stay at your home overnight. I would love to be the reliable pet lover you are needing for dog walks, daytime drop ins for potty breaks and socialization and care.
“Brandi came and walked my dog every day for several weeks while I was waiting for hip replacement. A definite plus for me. She varied her times around weather and the fact that my doggy gets hot if the sun is too much (she came in the evening).”
About: I rescued my first pet (cat) and spoiled my second (dog). Have fun playing fetch and taking long walks, and love to hang out with cats too. I have just recently moved back to Missouri from Bozeman, Montana and am always looking to stay busy with side jobs on my time off. I can easily crate dogs (only if asked or necessary) in a client’s home. I can recognize different techniques to use on differently trained animals.
About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was 12 years old, and my love for them is at the heart of everything I do. As an aspiring animal rights attorney beginning my law school journey, advocating for the well-being of animals is something I’m passionate about both personally and professionally. I believe every pet has a unique personality, so I take the time to get to know both you and your pet to provide care that’s tailored to their individual needs. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while treating both you and your home with the utmost respect. I’m proud to have built lasting relationships with my clients. I’ve had 2–3 regular semiannual clients who have trusted me with their pets for over three years, as well as a monthly client who has relied on my care for the past year. I have experience caring for a wide variety of animals, including: Dogs: Shih Tzus, Shipoos, Goldendoodles, English Mastiffs, Great Pyrenees, Pit Bulls, mixed breeds, and French Bulldogs. Cats: Himalayans, Persians, and Tabbies. In addition to pet sitting, I worked as a dog bather at a professional grooming salon, where I safely handled dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments. That experience strengthened my confidence in reading canine behavior and providing calm, patient care, even in unfamiliar situations. For me, pet care is about more than meeting basic needs—it’s about building trust, understanding each pet’s unique personality, and giving owners peace of mind knowing their companions are in caring, capable hands. I’m a student and a part time employee so I ask that you schedule 3 weeks prior to needing my services to allow me time to request time off from my other job. I can easily walk your dog for up to an hour and a half or take them to a dog park outside to play if you have a fenced in yard as I have a car and I’m a pretty active person.
About: I have tons of pet care experience. I used to work in a daycare/ boarding facility. I have also cared for dogs in my home before. I am available every day of the week with flexible hours. I am also a certified pet trainer and your dog may come home with new skills or improved manners just for fun. I will make sure your pet gets plenty of exercise and socializing. I will love your dog as much as you do and will treat them like my own. I am respectful and responsible with any of your personal needs or wants when it comes you and your four legged friends. Please let me care for your pet while you are gone and trust that I will take good care of them. I am home full time with the exception of personal outings and running errands. I will be able to let your pups out for potty breaks, go for walks and have plenty of time to play. I make sure that a leash is always attached before opening a door to take your dog for a walk unless fenced in. We currently don’t have a fence, but will hopefully soon. We have two friendly dogs.
About: I’ve taken care of pets for as long as I can remember. I’ve taken care of friends, family, and neighbors’ pets since I was about 15 doing drop in visits, going on walks and much more! I currently have a dog, two cats and 4 fish. I love taking care of animals! I work at my family’s business and have pretty flexible work hours. I can leave if needed to take care of pets during the day. With a schedule there should be no problem any day of the week. I take great pride in making sure each pet is loved, safe, and well taken care of. Cats and dogs are safe under my watch and will be well loved.
About: Hi, my name is Kelly and I have grown up with dogs since I was born and couldn't imagine life without them. As a teenager, I took care of our family dog and also was a dog sitter for friends. For the past 5 yrs, I have been mom to a wonderful german shepherd. She is my child and is treated as such, as all pets should be! We love to go on adventures and spend as much time outdoors as we can. As a sitter, I will treat your pet as my own and can send pictures to keep you updated. I have been a sitter for dogs, cats, and hamsters. We also had rabbits growing up. I have also been a dog walker for the ASPCA. I currently am teleworking full time so I flexibility for day time walks/visits around my meeting schedule. I am also available most weekends that I am in town. Having had lots of experience working with different doggy personalities and breeds, I’m confident and comfortable watching all dogs. Safety is obviously of the utmost importance and so I would like to know about habits and things to look for before watching your pup (i.e is your dog a door dasher or a counter surfer).
About: My dog is my best friend; we do everything together. If you choose me to be responsible for your pet, that pet will get the love and attention it deserves as YOUR best friend. During walks with your furry friend I can keep gentle control of a troublemaker and keep a good pace with any dog, fast or slow. If you choose me to drop in and visit your pet, I will make that visit the best part of mine and your animal’s day. If you need a house-sitter while you’re away - don’t worry at all, your pet(s) and home are in good hands. I house-sat for my neighbor with four cats on and off for three years. I would love to get to know your pets!
About: I like dogs because they encourage me to be active. Keeping pups clean and pretty is fun for me because my dog doesn't like water. I treat all dogs like children. I walk 2 Rottweilers everyday Monday thru Friday. Also, I walk and play with a Golden retriever named Hershey Monday thru Friday. I have stayed at my sister's house, she has a pitbull, blue heeler and lab mix. I have kept my parents Japanese Chin and Pekingese. So I have lots of experience with many different breeds of pups. I have never met a dog that I didn't get along with or that didn't like me. Dogs are like people and should be treated that way. I enjoy spending time with cats too. I am not a reptile person.

“This is our dogs 3rd stay with Catherine. I have only felt comfortable leaving them with family before I met Catherine. She is truly an animal lover and you can enjoy your time away from them without worry. Our terrier mix has always been skittish with people and after his 1st stay with her ran right up to her door ahead of us. I highly recommend her to anyone so you can enjoy a stress free vacation.”
“Samantha provided a safe, clean and extra loving home to our dog while we were away! She was communicative, and sent updates and photos throughout the week. I can tell our pup was so loved and well cared for!! Thank you to you and your family!!”
“Sharon & Glen both took great care of my 2 dogs while I was out of town. One of my dogs has a hard time getting around and they were accommodating and so gentle. They also have the perfect back yard to let the other run off energy. Will absolutely book again for future travel needs. Thank you!!”
“This was our first time using this service, and I am so glad I found Taylor! We were very hesitant with the idea of leaving our dog with a stranger, but Taylor's reviews and her prompt answers to my numerous questions, we were quickly put us at ease. We received daily updates and pictures, and it was obvious to us that Moose was having the best time and was well cared for. Before we picked him up, I had already reached out to Taylor to rebook with her for an upcoming trip!”
“Robin was very understanding with our dog, Tabitha's needs - with her in mourning after the recent passing of our other dog, her closest companion and with us needing to be away from home for 8 days. Robin listened to all of the details of feeding and meds. Then she stayed in contact with us, updating us on Tabitha's adjustment to her new surroundings, sending great pics and playing the games she likes to play (FRISBE!) Robin was also VERY accomodating with our crazy flight schedules on drop off & pick up. Tabitha had such a good time she has returned to her joyful self! I highly reccomend Robin and she will be the first person we will reach out to the next time we need a dog sitter!”
“Amanda and her family took great care of my Remi. She sent pictures and updates twice a day and Remi always looked happy and having fun. I would definitely recommend her for anyone looking for great care of their dogs. We will be definitely using her again!”
“This is my second booking with Laurie and am extremely happy with how she takes care of my dog, Addie. Addie is initially anxious yet Laurie redirects Addie, engaging her in play, taking good care of her; sending pictures and updates throughout the day. I can truly relax when Addie is with Laurie, which is a blessing 😋.”
“Lona and Alan were fantastic! They were very thorough in getting to know the details about caring for Skipper, and communication was excellent. They gave my high-energy pup lots of playtime, walks, and attention. They also sent lots of photos throughout his stay - I could tell he was having a great time!”
“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!”
“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!”
