“Taryn is absolutely excellent! Went above and beyond to spend time with my kitty, and find ways to get him to eat and get his meds when he was being finicky. Highly recommend for a sit!”
“Nicole is so patient with my fur monsters. They like her so much. I love our pre-trip meets she's such a sweetheart. She also sends the best pictures.”
“Eva was so good with my cats! She was even able to get my shy/scared kitty to come out every day! She’s never done that for anyone else. I could see in the pictures that my cats were very comfortable with her which gave me peace of mind. I will definitely be using her again!”
“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!”
“Molly was amazing with our two kitties and taking care of our home. I was able to relax knowing that they were in good hands the whole time we were gone. She had the most patience for our grumpy kitty and will definitely be using her again!”
“Joann is absolutely amazing, truly a 5 star kitty sitter!! I appreciated her updates, photos, and quick responses so greatly, she is THE BEST!! I’m sure my cat will miss her :)”
“We had Vanessa watch our two young cats over Thanksgiving week. Vanessa was great with them and with us - attentive to their needs and very responsive to us. Our favorite was the pictures she shared in the after-visit reports, and our cats’ favorite was seeing their new buddy. Vanessa was very respectful, professional, and kind. Would definitely ask Vanessa to come back in the future!”
“Chandler has watched our cats twice now while we were on vacation for a week. She is amazing! She follows all instructions to a tee and is so great with our cats! She takes lots of pictures, and updates us on the status of the cats which makes us feel so much more at ease. So kind and trustworthy!!! 😊”
“My kitty gets extreme anxiety when we travel so i cannot leave her alone. My kitty LOVES Ella! Working with Ella is so easy and it is such a relief to know that when I get home it will be to a happy cat!”
“Fantastic! Was out of town for two weeks and relied on Rachel to drop in on our cat every two days. Got excellent, detailed updates and pictures, and my normally antisocial scardy-cat took to her immediately! Definitely someone you and your pet can trust!! Will book again in the future.”
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!

Westwood cat parents share their Rover experiences
Sarah was the best! I felt very comfortable knowing my cats were in good hands. She was very responsive and had clear communication with each visit. She went the extra mile to ensure the cats were fed, played with, taken care of, and received plenty of attention. I'd definitely recommend her to a friend and use her in the future!
Caitlin was a wonderful pet-sitter and I would use her again for sure. She was lovely with my cat, gave him lots of attention and made sure he had what he needed, and I loved the picture updates. Great communication and response times, and very accommodating regarding key exchange.
Sophie was wonderful! This was my first time leaving my two cats alone while I went on a family vacation and she made me feel so comfortable leaving them in her care. She played with them, made sure to follow feeding and care instructions and sent plenty of updates and photos. I came home to a clean place and two happy kitties. Can’t compliment her enough!
Amber did a fantastic job taking care of my kitty while I was out of the country for a few weeks! This is my first time using Rover and she walked me through what to expect. She checked in with me frequently, provided daily pictures, and did a great job administering meds. It’s easy to see that Amber truly cares about all animals and has a passion for pet setting. I would highly recommend Amber to anyone who is needing a pet sitter! She is trust worthy, prompt with her responses, and took such good care of my kitty.
Alex took amazing care of our 3 senior kitties! They all require multiple medications and special diets, but Alex handled it all with ease. The cats seemed to really like her, and she made sure each one got special attention every visit. Alex is also very communicative. Would highly recommend!
Braxton was wonderful--our anxious dog had an immediate positive response to her at the meet-and-greet. She communicated consistently and was very professional. We needed her to fill in some gaps from our regular sitter and we will DEFINITELY use her again. Loved her!!!
