“Second time booking with Jenna and she did great with Louie! Will continue to use her when I need someone to check on my Louie, as she keeps me updated and lets me know how her overall visit with Louie was :)”
About: I have been entrusted with the care of many friends and neighbors pets since I was 10 years old. I have my own cat, Pidge, who I trained to go on walks and do tricks. He’s very friendly and people oriented. I just adopted an Aussie puppy and have been adapting her to the world and keeping her mentally stimulated. I am a detail oriented and thorough sitter. If your pet has special quirks or needs I am more than willing to abide! I can go over their training, take them on a walk and prepare special treats or meals. Anything to ensure my visit is as close to their usual routine as possible. Your pets comfort and care is my top priority. My schedule works perfectly for date nights, concerts, and any special events you may have in the evening during the week. Weekends I’m fully available. If you want your dog to get some socialization I’m also willing to orchestrate a play date with my dog (after an initial meet with you present). I would love to check in on your pet or take your dogs (or cats) for a walk! I work full time so I am available on weekdays in the morning, evening and overnight. Weekends all day. I can visit after work and take them on a walk, feed them, let them out to potty, check their food/water, do some training, etc. I am detail oriented and will make sure I follow the specific routine and guidelines you require for your pet. In my own home I have a daily schedule for my puppy’s training in 10min increments to maximize her training and behavioral development, as well as give her my undivided attention in the hours she’s awake. I wouldn’t hesitate to go above and beyond for your pets as well. I care about the well being and safety of all animals and will make sure every pet in your home is treated with respect.
“Stephanie was so helpful and kind with our two dogs! This was a first time using Rover and Stephanie exceeded all needs and eased our worry. With a senior dog who needs extra care and a younger dog who has much more energy, she was able to accommodate both of our boys to keep them happy and safe!”
About: I have dog sat and cared for many other dogs and animals before. I will always make sure the animals are well treated for and the house is taken care of. I am very friendly and strive to make sure every experience is friendly. I have two dogs of my own. I am excited to be able to take care of your dogs and make sure they get what they need while you are away from home. Something that sets me apart from other sitters and walkers is that I am very client forward and will work to meet your needs. I am currently working part time, so I will have plenty of time to play with your pups, I am available for walks and check ins Monday/wednesday/ thursday and house sitting Monday- Sunday! I follow all directions owners leave for me to care for their dog and home.I also help run errands while owners are away, and in warmer months I take care of indoor and outdoor plants
“Nicole was amazing! She always sent many photos of both my cats and loved on themand played with both while we were gone. Above and beyond. Would definitely rebook her”
“Arabella was awesome! Our pets can be shy and they warmed right up to her. We asked her to do stop in visits a few times a day. Arabella's communication was great, giving updates on each animal when she stopped by. We would definitely have her take care of our pets again and definitely recommend her!”
“Sarah was absolutely wonderful with our 10-month-old dog, Carl! He had to wear a cone during his stay, and she took the best care of him. She was incredibly responsive, kept us updated, and made us feel so comfortable the entire time. We also really appreciated that she took the time to meet us before the actual visit—it gave us so much confidence leaving Carl in her care. She truly gave us peace of mind, and we couldn't recommend her more highly!”
“Sophie watched our dog again, and she was fantastic as always. Our dog absolutely loves her and is always so happy to see her. Sophie is reliable, caring, and treats our dog like she’s her own. We feel lucky to have someone we can trust with our sweet girl.”
“Ron took great care of our dogs over a five day period during a busy holiday season. His drop-in visits occurred in the schedule we had requested, and he managed the daily walks we had asked for in addition to the regular feeding, watering, and backyard visits. With all the real-time notices of his visits, and we were able to relax and enjoy our trip. Great experience!”
“Jasmine has been a lifesaver for the 2 kitties! They were available on short notice and have gone above and beyond to help with the cats health needs. Jasmine was communicative and sent lots of photos! I would highly recommend Jasmine!!”
About: I’m a PA at local clinic and when I’m not busy taking care of people and their health, I love spending time with my 3 “nuggets.” I trained & cared for dogs growing up, and have volunteered w/ local humane societies (usually as a dog-walker) throughout my life. As a dog parent, I understand wanting someone trustworthy and dependable to help care for your precious pets! I have lived in Mission/Roeland Park for 11 years with my partner & pups. Not currently available for booking, I will keep typing to satisfy the 25 words. I am only looking for a sitter. Dog sitter sitter sitter. Not currently available to watch pets, typing in here to satisfy the twenty five words, I am only looking for a sitter for my dogs.
About: Caring for animals is one of my greatest joys. I've cared for everything from energetic vizslas and sheepdogs to strong willed Akitas, so I am comfortable with all kinds of personalities and temperaments. Whether its long walks, playtime, cuddles or sticking to your pet's routine, I'll care for them with the same love and attention I would my own. You can count on me to be dependable, communicative and to send photos and updates, so you will know your pet is happy and safe while you're away. I recently retired from my full time job and have plenty of time to devote to dog walks and pet visits. My schedule is flexible and we should be able to work something out. I would follow the pets routine as instructed by the owner and be sure to keep it as stress free for the pet as possible. I make sure the pet receives plenty of attention and affection.
“If I could give Kadyn 10 out of 5 stars, I would. Not only did she come to our rescue when our other sitter unexpectedly (and quite unceremoniously, I should add) canceled our pet-sitting while my husband and I were across the ocean, but she also consistently went above and beyond. I sent her all the materials I had sent the other sitter and tried to be as available as possible, but she honestly didn't really need me. She took such amazing care of our two kitties and sent even better pictures and updates. If you're able to book her, absolutely do. Impeccable isn't praise enough.”
“Jill and her daughter took such good care of our two cats! She left detailed notes about their check in, including lots of pictures. It made me feel assured that our kitties were safe and happy while we were gone.”
“I highly recommend Bailey B. She provides drop-in services for my cat, Lucy, when I travel. On very short notice, I needed to change the planned dates and Bailey was very accommodating. She makes sure Lucy is well fed, the litter box is always clean, she plays with Lucy or lets her out side on the secure deck. It's been a blessing having Bailey look after Lucy when I need to leave town.”

Lizzy was awesome! Gave us such peace of mind by popping in to feed and walk our lab. And she was very communicative, knowledgeable and kind! I also asked my pup what he thought and he said 10/10 would recommend for good pats and cuddles! Looking forward to booking with her again :)
Michelle was so amazing, it warmed my heart to know someone was actually giving my cat love and attention as much as I would because that’s usually a pet owners biggest fear. I was out of the country for around two weeks and worried about my cat because she tends to be a little shy and scared of new people and typically i only know how to deal with her. Michelle was perfect !! letting my cat slowly warm up to her presence visit by visit. She would send photos every visit and that was very reassuring, she would play with my cat and feed her and cuddle with gigi. I would get photos of gigi playing, running, and cuddling which is not her norm for when she meets new people so i was very happy with that.There wasn’t a moment where I was worried about my gigi. Michelle is so nice and compassionate and sweet and it shows because my gigi warmed up to her, she responds to messages and updates me where i felt reassured and comfortable, I could not be happier that i found her to take care of my cat and i was honestly lucky to have her as my pet sitter.I would definitely choose her again over anyone if I ever had to leave my cat again but in general with any animal because she actually cares.
Sarah was absolutely wonderful with our 10-month-old dog, Carl! He had to wear a cone during his stay, and she took the best care of him. She was incredibly responsive, kept us updated, and made us feel so comfortable the entire time. We also really appreciated that she took the time to meet us before the actual visit—it gave us so much confidence leaving Carl in her care. She truly gave us peace of mind, and we couldn't recommend her more highly!
So great. This was the first pet sitter I’d hired and she did amazing with our older cat. She gave her pills and so many cuddles while we were out of town. I also appreciated all the Rover cards, updates, and great communication. When we go out of town again, Maddie will be the first person I contact.
Vanessa has a way of putting animals at ease that is so impressive! She is a very thoughtful caretaker who asks great questions and shares fun things she notices about our boys. As a reactive dog mom, I felt comfortable leaving our dog in her care and she went above and beyond to show them extra care and communicated well with us!
Erika has been amazing with Tonka! She’s reliable, caring, and I can tell she genuinely enjoys spending time with him. Tonka absolutely loves her and is always happy to see her. It gives me peace of mind knowing he’s in great hands. Highly recommend Erika to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their pup!

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Westwood stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Westwood. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
