“Taryn was fantastic with our two dogs! Very appreciative she was available last minute to care for them! Will be reaching out to her for future needs!!!”


“Sarah is so easy to work with and my two golden girls love her! I've used her for drop-in visits a few times now and she's been great. Would definitely recommend! :)”


“Noelle was great! Ellie took to her right away and I had zero issues or concerns while I was gone. Noelle even came over just to spend time with Ellie on her own. I am happy Ellie has another person and will be using Noelle again! Thank you!”


“We expected an experienced pet caretaker like Ruslan to bring a high level of professionalism. He handled out grumpy old cat's needs and provided timely communications.”


“My cat had a wonderful time from Erin's visits while I was on a trip. Erin made sure all of his needs were met each day, and treated him to great play and birdwatching sessions!”


“Nicole was fantastic dropping in our puppy while we out of town. She took her for walks, took many pictures and gave detailed reports each time. We’ll definitely be using Nicole again!”


“This was my first time to use Rover and I had such a great experience with Marinda! She watched my cat while I was away for a few days and she kept me updated with photos and videos on each visit. I recently changed my cats food and he has been iffy with it, but Marinda gave me peace of mind letting me know how he was eating with each drop-in visit. She kept the litter box clean, vacuumed up messy litter, and even washed a few dishes! I could tell my cat Buzz loved playing with her based on the videos she sent. She was always quick to respond and thorough in her updates. I will definitely use her services again and I highly recommend her for your pet!”


“Vanessa was wonderful with our 2 frenchies! She sent updates on their bathroom schedule and photos and even cleaned up our puppy's crate and play area! She was very reliable, respectful and responsible!”


“First time doing this and she is the best person! Im glad that I trusted the right person to look after my dog. She’s sweet and caring!”


“Rachel is awesome! Great at communication, taking cat pictures, and being dependable. I will definitely have her watch my cat in the future. ?”


About: With over 50 years of hands-on experience in pet care. I've dedicated my life to understanding and supporting the well-being of animals, especially dogs. For 8 years, I have worked as a veterinary technician, where i gained in-depth medical knowledge and practical skills in animal heath, emergency care and preventative treatment. My background also includes extensive experience in both basic and advanced dog training focusing on obedience, behavior modification and building strong bods between pets and their owners. Over the decades I've cared for animals of all ages, breeds and temperaments - from raising litters of puppies and kittens to providing compassionate support for senior pets. My approach combines patience, consistency and a deep respect and love for every animal's unique personality and needs. Things to consider prior to booking: • Are they friendly with other pets? I have one dog and 3 cats in our home. • Are they able to jump a 5ft fence? • Are they protected against Heartworm, Fleas and Ticks? • Potty Trained? I am happy to help train but just need to know ahead of time. • Up to date on all vaccines? • Big chewers? • Let us know if your pet has any special need or accommodation we should account for! I can accommodate a variety of needs! I am happy to provide whatever care your pet needs & make sure they are happy & comfortable in our home. A few things to know about what I offer: 100% Love and Care I take photos of your pet (I am not a professional photographer) – I will try not to overwhelm you! I do not require a meet and greet but am happy to do so. My preference is to introduce your pet(s) to mine slowly and very controlled environment. SAFETY is my #1 Concern for your pets and for mine. What to bring for your stay: Collar with a tag & leash Food (Label with the amount per meal) - Slow feeder if needed Medications, if needed Kennel (for boarding stays) - Anything to make them comfortable in their kennel (blanket, toys, bed) I generally don’t use a kennel if they are good house guests (no destruction or accidents) they can have house privileges. I will provide: Water Bowls (I have many throughout the house and outside) Foods Bowls Toys - Treats - Chew bones & treats Dog beds around the house (I have many) A Typical Day can be: Wake up and take them out to potty (I have a big, fenced back yard). Feed them breakfast Out for potty about 2 hours (or sooner) after breakfast. Relax, play and/or snooze as they want. Potty breaks are directed by their needs, they let me know they need to potty, and we go outside (I am their servant, and I stay with them while they are outside). They potty and play and then we come in. This goes on all day as needed. Cuddles on command and if they just want to lay around, I’m ok with that as well. I have taken all my dogs (past and present) through many different levels of training session – Puppy, Basic and Advanced. Let me know what you need, and I am happy to help. SPECIAL NOTE with Regard to Cats Cats do their own things and totally dictate their day to day and I respect and honor their wishes! I do have a room set up that they can call their own (if needed) and I have a secure Catio they can hang out in and enjoy fresh air. I am retired and love to help people and their pets. I have lots of free time and want to offer my knowledge and experience to people who have busy lives but want the best for their furbabies. I live on 3/4 acre and I have a large fenced in back yard. I do have a dog and 3 cats at home so any pets that need to be watched at my home need to be able to get along with them. I am dependable and honest and can also take care of your pets in your home. If you need to know anything else, please ask.

About: I am a third year veterinary student in KC for the summer at an internship! I have worked as a Veterinary Assistant for 6 years now and have gained experience in handling and working with all breeds and sizes of dogs, as well as cats. I have also been petsitting for family friends for 5 years and have plenty of experience making pets feels comfortable while their owner is away. I am comfortable handling any dog or cat, with anything from giving medications to your senior pup to walks and exercise for the more energetic ones! I’m currently working full-time during the week with some evening hours available. I am also typically available all day during the weekend and on most holidays. As I am currently renting, I am not able to care for pets in my own home. However, I am more than willing to travel and take care of your fur-baby in the comfort of their own home! I have been trained on how to handle all types of animals with care and respect towards them, and would feel comfortable assisting with any training you are working with them on. Most of all, I absolutely love to hang out with any animal and would be honored to care for your fur baby!

“She did so great with our 2 dogs! Was very flexible on what they needed each visit, sent awesome photos and updated us throughout the day! Highly recommend Caitlin”



“Susan is hands down the BEST pet setter we’ve ever had!!! We had a bit of an ant problem while we were out of town for the weekend—Susan offered to pick us up some ant baits from Home Depot since she was planning on going the next day anyways (this was on my to-do list, but I didn’t have time to get them before we left for our trip, so I was so stoked to see her kind offer in my messages!) Not only did she buy us ant baits, but she carefully + creatively placed them around our kitchen, making sure our cat wouldn’t be able to reach them. Thank you, Susan!”


“Clove is great! Mo is pretty shy and usually doesn’t let people pet her, but she loved Clove and was very comfortable! Will definitely book Clove for future drop-ins.”


“Olesya did such a wonderful job with my kit cat Jackie while I was on a week long vacation! Jackie is usually pretty skittish around new people but took to Olesya right away! I would definitely recommend her to care for your pets!”


“Jacob did an excellent job. I made a last minute request for someone to drop-in on my dog, Blue. He always responded to my messages promptly. He followed all of my instructions and provided updates with each vist. While Jacob was caring for Blue, I didn't have to worry about anything which is exactly what I needed. My experience was 10/10. I would recommend Jacob for any Rover service you need. In return you will get peace of mind and a happy pet.”


“Thanks so much for taking such good care of everybody! All three pets were very comfortable with her, I loved getting photos while I was gone, and I so appreciate the attention to detail.”


“This is the 2nd time Alissa watched after our kittens. She’s done a stellar job both times for us now and we absolutely trust her with our fur babies! Can’t wait to use her services again and again. We’ll definitely be checking with her first!”



“Kara has cared for our dog and cat multiple times over the past year. She's responsive, reliable, we never have to worry about whether she'll show up when we're away. She's great with the pets and even convinces Lily the cat to pose for an occasional photo!”
