“Arrica is amazing! Hands down one of the best walkers we’ve had. She’s professional, flexible, highly responsive, thorough and patient! She does great with my dog Mello, who warmed up to her quickly. He loves seeing her come through the door and we could not ask for better!”


“Michael's been such an asset to our family. I have to travel for work sometimes, and can be away for months at a time. Knowing Michael will be there to walk our girl gives me such peace of mind. And getting photos from their walks really makes my day when I am feeling homesick. Thank you, Michael!”


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!!

“Professional, accommodating, and reliable. Ashley did a wonderful job looking after my senior dog whilst I was out of town. I wouldn't hesitate to utilize her services again in the future!”


“She did a great job with my puppy and stayed in touch with me while I was out of town. She was sweet about schedule changes due to the heat. I will definitely use her again”


“Sarah is always so great with my dog and he loves going on walks with her! She is so quick to respond to messages and really flexible with my hectic schedule! Would definitely recommend her working with any and all dogs :)”


About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my experience with dogs. I worked at a wonderful dog shelter called KC Paws that taught me about dog handling, body language, and temperament. I was a shift lead so I have experience administering medications - liquid and pills. I am also a foster for T.A.R.A, another wonderful shelter, so I have TONS of experience with puppies as young as 5 weeks old. While I have not worked in a professional setting with cats, I have 3 of my own and I have fostered two sweet cats. I’m finishing up school with one class left so at the moment, Rover is my full time job! I’m available unless otherwise stated on my schedule for whatever care your pet needs - day and night. Feel free to send me a message about scheduling questions to see if we can work something out! :) I only offer dog sitting in your home because I’ve got too many animals at my house and your dog or cat’s safety is my biggest priority. I am diligent when it comes to following instructions (with medications, food allergies, special needs) as well as with making sure your home is all locked up when I leave.

“My dog has only had 2 walks so far with Caitlin but he seems to really enjoy them. Caitlin is very kind, considerate and reliable. Blizzard is looking forward to his bi-weekly walks!”


“Wendy was FABULOUS! She was very kind and responsive, and was happy to modify the schedule when our needs changed. I would absolutely work with her again!”


About: Hi, we are Scott and Jenn. We are experienced dog people, but we don't have a dog right now, so we are available to give your pup(s) our undivided attention. Dogs have been a central part of both our lives from growing up with dog "siblings" to fostering and adopting dogs of various breeds, ages and temperaments. Big and small, from high-energy young pups to sweet old seniors. After our Doberman passed in 2022, we made the difficult decision not to get another dog right away. Since Scott retired, we spend about six months a year traveling in our RV to visit family across the country. It has been a truly wonderful experience; however, life without dogs isn't right! Rover offers the perfect opportunity for us to enjoy spending time with dogs, while providing you peace of mind and your pets all the love and attention they deserve! My work is flexible and often portable, so I can be available just about any time. If I get your request before I go to bed, I can be at your home by 10am the next day. We treat dogs like family. A friend once told us “If reincarnation is real, I want to come back as one of your dogs”. We spend lots of time doing enrichment activities with the dog we sit for. We also really enjoy walking, so we would absolutely love to take your dog for long walks!

“Patricia did a wonderful job walking our pup! She was very communicative and I loved the updates she gave us! She went above and beyond. I highly recommend!”


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!

“Absolutely amazing!!! She is great with animals which showed in the first minute of her being here. My dog has bad anxiety and has a hard time with new people and he loves her. She even cleaned up his messes so it wouldn't sit until I got home. I definitely recommend her to everyone!!”


About: I have care experience with dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, and fish. I have taught my birds to talk and whistle, mice to jump through hoops, and I have trained my dog in basic tricks. I genuinely care for and loveeeee animals and will give your pet(s) my undivided attention when caring for them!!! I am a full time college student so I won’t be available 24/7, but I will make sure to set aside time for your pet! I don’t offer services in my own home at this moment, but when caring for pets in my clients home I make sure to respect and clean up my surroundings and their animals space.

About: I’ve taken care of my own cats and dogs since I was 10 years old and have done pet sitting for friends and neighbors over the years. I’ve worked with animals of all ages and have personally owned several different senior cats so I have experience with seniors! I work from home part time and my schedule is very flexible so I have plenty of time to care for your animals whether that be feeding, walking, playing, or house sitting. I will do my best to make sure your pet has everything it needs, as well as plenty of love and affection. I also will maintain whatever current schedules/protocols you have in place for your pet’s safety and well being.

About: I am currently receiving my second Master's degree in Counseling Psychology, and I work as an intern at KC Well Co in Kansas City! I've always loved taking care of animals and find so much joy in spending time with my own dog, Milo. I enjoy being active, especially walking in nature and exploring outdoor areas. Going to the dog park, walking on trails, and playing in my apartment's dog run are some of my favorite activities to do with pets I sit! I have experience with a variety of breeds and sizes, and am excited to learn more about puppies and senior dogs. It is important to me to treat every pet with the most respect and attention. I want the transition from owner to sitter for a pet to be stress free. I give every animal my all like they are my own! My schedule is currently open to repeat and one time clients with a great amount of flexibility on days and times, especially for overnight sitting in my home. I live in Kansas City, MO around the Plaza neighborhood. I am home most days at the moment but as I gain more clients at work, this will change. I would love to take care of your home as well as you're away. I am also comfortable with doing meetings before the booking to ensure your pet is comfortable with me in their environment or in mine. I am currently working part-time so your pup will receive lots of love and attention! I have my own dog who I never leave home for more than 5 hours at a time. I have grown accustomed to scheduling my day with my pup in mind and I’ll do the same for yours. I don’t have a yard but I do have a small dog run at my apartment and live in an area where walking is a breeze. I have my own dog that will be able to keep yours company if I’m ever out and about. Dogs are like family to me which means they can have all the cuddles on the couch and my bed!

About: I genuinely love spending time with animals and getting to know each dog’s personality. I have experience with everything from playful puppies to sweet senior dogs, and I’m great at picking up on what each pup needs—whether that’s a long walk, some playtime, or just a chill hang. I’ll treat your dog like my own and make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and happy. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine this summer since I have some free time before my next clinical rotation. As a grad student, I love staying active between study sessions—going on walks, visiting parks with my own dog, and checking out new coffee spots around Kansas City. I’ve lived here for two years and love getting to know new pets (and their people!) while exploring the city. I’m very organized and attentive when it comes to caring for pets, whether in my home or yours. I love learning and sticking to a routine that supports the pup. I’ll always respect your dog’s boundaries, whether that means keeping walks short and calm, limiting interactions with other dogs or people, or sticking closely to their comfort zone. I’m quick to respond, happy to send updates and pics, and I’ll make sure your dog feels safe, supported, and pampered while you’re away.

“Christian was very responsive and helped me out with only a few days notice! We met for a meet and greet and my German shepherd mix didn’t even bark at him, which is very impressive! Then he was flexible and communicative the four days that he walked him. Balto and I really appreciate his help!”

“Kari and I met during graduate school and became fast friends, in part due to her obvious love for animals. During school we regularly spoke about and interacted with each other’s pets. Her pets were well cared for and loved. She was also capable of handling my small dog (12 lbs) and my large dog (60 lbs) during walks. On occasion she did watch my cat while I was away. I would recommend Kari for pet sitting. She is not only an animal lover, but also responsible.”

West Plaza dog parents share their Rover experiences
Megan was great with Charlie! She obviously loves dogs and was so sweet with him. Took a photo of him on the walk and I was able to see their route. My dog was happy to go with her on the walk and was sad to see her go. I highly recommend Megan and will reach out to her any time I am not able to walk my dog.
