“Marissa did an outstanding job caring for my two cats over my wedding weekend. Her thoughtful updates and adorable photo check-ins gave me so much peace of mind during such a hectic time. She followed every instruction to the letter, and I could tell my cats felt safe and comfortable, their usual post-trip skittishness was completely gone. I’m so grateful for her care and can’t wait to book her again!”


“Carmen and Katie were amazing! They were always on time and sent us lots of (happy) pictures of our furbaby. Ping-Pong is elderly and needs meds twice a day. All meds were dispensed as directed and cuddles were given liberally. We will use them again and I highly recommend them! I guarantee you and your furbabies will not be disappointed!”


“Eva was just great! The Girls were simply in love with her! The photos showed them happy as could be, dancing and grinning from ear to ear! We will definitely have Eva again!l”


“Emily is so good with my dogs. One dog wouldn’t come out of the kennel for a couple others but loves Emily :) She helps me out when I’m at work for a long time and it brings so much peace of mind.”


“Great communication and flexibility when my booking was last minute! Phoebe is fearful of meeting new people but Katie gave her space and let her get comfortable with her during her drop in. Katie even took her out in the pouring rain!”


“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.”


“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!”


“Alissa did an excellent job! Took care of my cats by stopping by once daily for a week while I was on vacation. She was reliable, friendly and kind. My cats were well cared for and she provided good daily updates. Would definitely recommend her and will plan to hire her 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!

“Rachel did a great job watching out for my cat when I was out of town on a business trip. She lives near by so it was easy for her to drop in. She played with my cat, feed him, scooped his litter, & petted him. I'm planning to use her services again the next time I have to go out of town.”



About: Hi there. My name is Robyn and I am an animal loving, responsible sitter who would love to help you out with your pets! I have been a dog owner for 18 years as well as a dog foster Mom and a cat owner in the past. I even had a chicken for a couple of years whom I loved dearly and was the neighborhood mascot.:) I know what it is like to have to find loving, responsible caregivers for your pets, as I have used this service for years for my pups. I can come to your house for drop-in visits, walks or overnight stays. I’m happy to help you out with your fur babies wherever I can! Please ask me any questions you might have. I am currently working a job where I make my own schedule, so that makes it very easy to fit pet care into my schedule. I have a 4 yr old boxer and she usually comes along with me for in home stays. She gets along well with all other animals and has made lots of furry friends along the way. I’ve been very lucky to have some wonderful repeat customers and I love seeing the dogs reunite (with the ones who have stayed with myself and my dogs) as they are always fast friends again. I look forward to meeting all the new dogs…and other animals!

About: I’ve never lived without a dog and never will! I’ve taken care of Boston Terriers, Staffordshire Terriers, Australian Shepards, and just about everything in between. No dog is too big, too crazy, or too sweet for me! I currently work from home and make my own hours on a weekly basis. I will do whatever I can to make my schedule work for you! I unfortunately cannot bring your pet back to my home as I have limited space in my one bedroom apartment. I am more than happy to have long visits/play dates to give your fur babies something to be excited about while you’re away!

“Chris was amazing with Winslow. He can be a pain since he’s only four months old however he came back home tired and happy which is rare. We’re so excited to find someone who can handle his energy and get a walk in on short notice. You won’t be sorry”



“We had Michael provide drop in services while we were away. Michael is very professional, thorough, and very good about posting updates while we were away. Our little Boston terrier was very much at ease when we arrived home; everything was in order. We would definitely recommend Michael to others.”


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.

“Jill always does a fantastic job of taking care of our sweet cats. She posts lots of pictures and gives us important updates on what’s been going on with them. Definitely will be hiring Jill again!”

Stock C.
“I travel a lot for work and unfortunately my dog isn’t allowed to go with me, so I use Rover.com to find dog sitters. Stock has been my favorite so far! I’ve used him for many months now since I found him. He’s great with my dog, Pebbles and she’s now used to him and greets him like a friend. I am so glad to have found Stock cause it’s hard to find someone you truly trust to dog sit. He’s great with dogs, is punctual, and is very reliable with communication. 100% recommend!”
