“In the short time we have used Abby as a Rover, she has been a great fit for our family and fur baby, Finn. She has been reliable, responsible, and caring towards her. We appreciate her flexibility with scheduling and ability to work with Finn's specific needs. We would highly recommend Abby to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter.”

About: I have 25 years experience taking care of dogs. From in home care to animal shelters & with all type, temperament, and size of dog! I own my own company and am a contractor for a auto company. I am kind of a Jack of all trades type of person. I will follow all instructions and requests to provide the absolute best care for your furry four legged family members! I look forward to meeting your pup!!
About: We like to walk our dogs a few miles a day. Also, lots of sleeping. The only time our dogs are alone is when we go to the grocery store Im retired, so im home all the time. Plenty of time for long walks or just hanging around. I wouldn't want to think about life without my dogs I own my house. Have lived here 34 years. Got a fenced in backyard. There's a doggy door for my 2 dogs. Dogs are welcome on the couch or bed, but they usually lay on the floor or in their kennels. One of our neighbors has a dog we take with us on our daily walks. When another neighbor is unable to get off work, we go into her house and let her dog out of her kennel and walk him or just spend time with him. I'm wiling to walk your dogs, but of course, we will adhere to any rules and instructions. We always carry extra poop bags.
About: In a professional capacity, I’ve been off and on Rover for a few years, and I love it! My clients have loved the customer service level I bring to each interaction. From my communication style and pictures to my ability to be flexible in scheduling. In my personal life, I’ve taken care of dogs, fish, cats, turtles/tortoises, rats and guinea pigs. I’ve administered medication to pets in the past and I’ve done enrichment training as well. Schedule varies. I work in the Plaza and Partner Joel works from home and is available to care for pets all day. We live in downtown Kansas City MO. With my dog walks, I’ll typically take a 20 minute walk with 10 minutes allowed for enrichment/playtime. With any drop-ins, I’m happy to refill food/water and/or take care of any plants babies that you may have as I have a pretty good green thumb.
“Kathryn has been a tremendous help with taking care of my dog Topo while Im out of state. She is very sweet, caring, and has a genuine love for dogs. She is very good with specific instructions and will treat your dog as her own. She has proven herself time and time again and I would highly recommend her for any of your pet needs. She is very responsive and will more than likely respond to any inquiry you have quickly. Thanks Kathryn!”
“They are so awesome and helped me out on super short notice for a dog walk. I also invited them to bring their dog over to play with my dog in the backyard and my dog was SO happy! Really appreciate how great and responsive they are.”
“Jessica was wonderful with our Irish Setter, Brody! She is incredibly professional, compassionate, and patient. She is very knowledgeable having cared for a variety of breeds and having had her own active dogs in the past. She was timely and creative at ensuring he got exercised properly even on days where the weather wasn't cooperative. When we arrived home, he was excited yet calm and happy. Clearly, he was well cared for each day. Thank you, Jessica!”
“Maureen is the best! She is wonderful with my pups, reliable, and treats them with all the love and care! We appreciate her so so much! Our go to dog walker!”
“Magy has been walking my excitable younger dog and visiting with my older dog daily for several weeks now. When she met the two dogs, she was calm and sweet and they both reacted positively to her immediately. Magy is reliable, good with two dogs with very different personalities, and even taught the old dog some new tricks! Every day I come home to a message about her visit with the dogs. I highly recommend Magy.”
“Dalton was the best dog walker while my husband and I were away. He sent detailed explanations of their walks and great pictures. I will definitely hire him again if he's available the next time we need him.”
About: I volunteer for an animal rescue. I have fostered puppies and participated in their adoption process. I have cared for babies all the way up to seniors. Both dogs and cats. I do not work so I'm available to take care of your fur baby whenever you need me. I would love to meet them and play! My yard is fenced in and almost half an acre so there is plenty of room for dogs to run around. I also have a side-by-side doggy duplex if your dog wants to have some "me time" and still be outside.
“Shayne is fantastic! My dog, Zeba, can be somewhat difficult at times, so I'm really picky about who walks her, but Shayne has done a great job with her. One of Z's favorite parts of the day is when Shayne comes by for her walk. I love getting the picture updates and little walk report cards, too. I will definitely continue to use Shayne as much as she is available.”
“Mia was very punctual, trustworthy, and a great playmate & walker for our Ralph. She communicated throughout the day and I really appreciated her attention to his needs. I would highly recommend her services to anyone!”
“We love Lauren and have quickly come to rely on him to take care of our fur baby. He leaves very detailed daily reports and shows that he really is dedicated to animals and their well being.”

7. Paul R.
“Paul is so good with Rousseau! He always takes great care of him and you can tell just how much Rou loves him by his excitement as soon as he sees Paul or even hears his name. As Rou has gotten older Paul has adjusted his time from longer walks to slow down and take more breaks so he can keep up. We appreciate his attention to those important details for our fur baby! It’s so comforting to know he is in good hands!”
8. Larry S.
“Larry is our next-door neighbor and we have watched him walk his, and our neighbors, dogs for many years through rain, sleet, and snow! He has a special place in his heart for all four-legged fur friends. Larry knows the neighborhood dogs names more so than their pet-parent's names! He is known to pass out dog treats at Halloween for every pup passing by - there are many, many regulars and grow in numbers each year. Your fur baby will be friends with Larry before he has an opportunity to chat with you! Rest assured your best friend(s) will be in the very best of care when they are with Larry!”
9. Ronnie R.
“I have known Ronnie for over eight years and he has always shown great love and compassion towards all animals including dogs. Out of all pets that a person could have, I would say that Ronnie's favorite would have to be dogs. We use to be roommates and he watched other peoples dogs on numerous occasions and was very great at it. I could tell that he really enjoyed being around dogs. We also owned a cat together and he was such a great caregiver to our cat. Ronnie is a very responsible and caring man, he takes great pride in his work and has an enormous love for dogs. If there was one job that I know Ronnie would be excellent at, it would be a caregiver for dogs.”
