House Sitting in Lawrence

“Traisaun is great. We have 4 active cuddly animals and even when we come home they will go and see if Traisaun is still here! He clearly treats your pets the way you would treat them (and sometimes even better because he puts up with more antics than I do!)”

“Rachel is a wonderful dog sitter. She is so good with our goofy pups and we feel so comfortable leaving them when we know she is taking care of them.”

“Markie took excellent care of our dog, two cats, and four ducks while we were on vacation. We especially appreciated the photos during her stay.”

“Katelyn did a great job as always. Maggie always enjoys her visits and Katelyn was a neat and considerate guest in our home. We will definitely use her again!”

“Kristie was so wonderful. She was extremely attentive to my dog's needs, gave him a lot of attention, and he very clearly loved her from the pictures she sent. She consistently sent photos of the routes they walked on Google maps to show that she'd made sure Franklin was given enough exercise and stimulation, which I really appreciated. I would absolutely book her again!”

“Alicia did an excellent job taking care of our dog, two cats, and four ducks. She was quick to respond if we had questions and sent us updates and photos throughout the visit. Our house was as tidy as we left it. We would trust her to watch our pets again!”

“Dylan was very nice and following my instructions took snowball out and she was very calm and relaxed when i came home,I will definitely get him again...he was a real gem!!”

“Cassie was awesome! We needed a last minute sitter, and she was super flexible with our short notice. Our pup immediately loved her too, and she was great about keeping in touch with us throughout her visit. I highly recommend!”

“Emily did a great job house and dogsitting for my family. She stayed at my house for a full week which was perfect for my over-anxious chihuahua and elderly beagle. Kennels and "pop in" dog sitters don't work for us, and I was so happy to have this option! I was able to enjoy my vacation because I knew my dogs had a human with them for company and were being well cared for. Emily was professional, took good care of the dogs, and left my house in great condition. I would use her again in a heartbeat. Thanks, Emily, for all of your help!”

“Mikayla is absolutely amazing with every animal I’ve seen her with. She is very dedicated to making sure her pets, as well as any pets under her care, are treated with respect and live a healthy lifestyle.”

“She was great”

About: I have a lifetime of experience with pets and pet care taking, and beyond that I have always loved each and every animal in my life to the utmost extent (to my detriment sometimes, I just get so attached). Over the years, I have cared for dogs, cats, birds, hamsters, guinea pigs, fish, amphibians, snakes, chickens, goats, ducks, and more! I am experienced with administering insulin and other medicines, and I am strict about not allowing them to eat any foods that aren't approved by their parent(s). I do not use harsh chemicals or fragrances on myself or in the home. I also have experience with the rare yet significant situation of coordinating veterinary euthanasia with the pets' parents in the event of major life illness/crisis. I have provided elder pet hospice care twice while pet sitting and innumerable times in my own life with pets I've owned over the years. While never pleasant by any means, know that your elder pets are in deeply loving, caring hands should something like this crisis arise. I provide video chat, trips to any vet of your choice (or an at-home vet I've worked with for years) to help us diagnose what your furry baby might be experiencing, and after you've talked with the vet yourself, watched over video chat, and decided to take the hard yet best decision for your pet, I am ready to help manage the process for a smooth, comfortable experience for everyone. I have had a family (my best friends and their children) on video chat while I cradled their cat through this transitional moment, at their vet's office with 3 nurses there to help us. Probably the hardest thing I've done in this line of work, but an important factor for anyone with elder pets who may experience their last moments while you are away and need somebody experienced and able to manage such a situation. Something we never, ever hope to occur, but if an animal is suffering, the kindest thing we can do for them sometimes. Just know they would be treated with the same care you would want to treat them during such an experience, and I would be in touch along every step of the way. And otherwise, I am happy to help and care for your pets at any age! And puppies at least over a year old I work part time from home, mostly from my phone, and am able to be present with your critters pretty much 24/7 save for the occasional errands! I am always happy to discuss the type of schedule your baby(/ies) might need! I still wear a high quality mask into people's homes during drop in visits (April 2024 and beyond!), I'm a covid safe sitter. I am always happy to take over a pet's routine in their home and adapt to things such as where they like to sleep, where they like to walk, and what their little quirks in the space might be. I make sure to keep items like foods, cleaning supplies, and vitamins well out of their reach, and I do a thorough cleaning of the space before you return as well!

“Lucas has been pet sitting since 2016. He is now 18 and able to have his own Rover account. We call Lucas the "dog whisperer"; he is so good with all dogs...big and small, young and older. He gives the pups lots of care, attention and love. We have had numerous families have our family watch their dogs, and Lucas has always been involved. He has his own vehicle and can drive for dog walking. He's an excellent student, kind young man and a HUGE DOG LOVER! Also, he loves taking care of cats too. He has taken care of our neighbors cats many times, as well as another family member. He knows the type of care the cats need to be taken care of. Highly Recommended!”

“The best you can ask for your pets! She goes above and beyond to get sure they are comfortable and she is so communicative which I love that about her!”

“If I could give Skyler more than 5 stars, I would. If I had a million dollars to give to Skyler, I would. Skyler absolutely SLAYED when she stayed with our babies. This was our first time ever leaving our 3 seniors, one of which is very anxious/has a hard time eating and going outside, and Skyler was able to get her to do it all! I was blown away. Skyler is super knowledgeable about animals and was very communicative! She sent lots of updates with the cutest photos, and left our house in perfect condition after staying the night. 1000/10 would hire Skyler again! She is amazing!!!”

“Elaine was awesome with our puppy Sunday and our 2 cats! She sent us daily “pupdates” that made us feel like every aspect of animals needs were covered. She also took care of cleanup and the house for the whole week we were gone. We highly recommend Elaine and we will be using her again in the future!”

“Meghan has been caring for our 2 Labradors for two years, and I can’t say enough kind things about her. Meghan truly loves our dogs - she throws our training bumpers for them so they get plenty of exercise, she feeds them, gives them treats, supplements, meds, and follows diet restrictions when they are feeling ill. Meghan gives our girls lots of pets, and texts us when she notices a change in their health or has a question. Meghan is very responsible and would recommend her to anyone!”

“Not only is she’s great with my dogs, but was also so helpful when I got in a pinch and my flight was postponed for another day. Great to work with and communicates often! 5 Stars! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟”

“took great care of our babies while we had to go out of town...such a relief to know they are being cared for..”

“Taylor is such a sweetheart! It’s hard to find young people nowadays that are responsible, kind and caring. She’s a natural caretaker and immediately connected with my 3 “rowdy” fur babies. Thank you Taylor for ensuring that we could be at ease while on vacation.”
