“Miranda was great! We were in Wichita for a wedding and needed someone to drop in to let Olly out and feed him. Miranda to the rescue! She stopped by the day before for a meet and greet, then came back when scheduled. She sent detailed reports with photos and we were so happy that she took such great care of Olly.”
About: I’ve taken care of pets, especially dogs since my parents brought home my first dog when I was a little kid. I’m used to the responsibility of taking care of animals and making sure they are fed, walked and happy. I’ve also walked looked after dogs for relatives and neighbors who were away since I was a kid. I work from home on the weekdays. I work for myself as well and like to take breaks by walking around my neighborhood so it’s easy for me to find time for your pet. I’m available most the weekend as well unless something unexpected comes up. I have a one room apartment near college hill park, it’s an ideal location for dog walking, as it’s a very safe and walkable neighborhood. Being in a small space makes boarding a little difficult (which is why I charge more for it) but it is doable.
About: Hi, I'm Stacie! I’ve had dogs off and on for most of my life. We are a dog-loving family (mom, dad, and three teens) and currently have one little guy named Smalls and one slightly bigger guy named Max. I would love to help out with your dog, whether it’s a long walk around the neighborhood, a check-in and playtime, or giving him/her a comfortable place to call home for a few nights. I currently work from home and have a very flexible schedule. When I am away from home it’s usually for no more than a few hours, and usually two or three of us are at the house most of the time (my husband also works from home...and we have two daughters doing virtual school and college classes). If you choose the daycare option, this includes up to 9 hours of care. Please contact me if you need more or have a schedule question. Boarding overnight includes 24 hours of care. I have a large open fenced yard to play with your dog, as well as a nice neighborhood for long walks. I do prefer for dogs to be crate-trained for their safety if I need to leave the house and no one is currently home. My little dog can be slightly anxious about new friends at first but usually warms up quickly since I've been doing this for a while now! Also, we do have several different areas in the house if we needed to separate dogs for any reason. Safety is our number one priority. Your dog will have someone around to give him/her lots of attention and care. Our goal is to meet the needs of your dog to assure they are safe, comfortable, and having fun during their stay!
“Taylor was phenomenal with our cats. She was super responsive and loved on them the same way we would have. We will definitely be booking her again!”
About: I have a lot of exposure to taking care of dogs. I've been around and taken care of animals since a very young age. It's one of my passions, aside from taking care of people at my first job! I work Mon-Fri 8am to 5pm. However weekends I am the most free and have a availability for many drop-ins, walks, and any pet care you need. I follow all instructions to the T, am not afraid to ask questions if I need to, and I will make sure the FurBabies stay safe and cared for at all times.
“Our puppy had a great time with Diana! She came over the day before our appointment to meet her and get instructions. We got updates and photos of our puppy during our time away which made us feel assured that we left her in great hands. We will definitely use Diana again the next time we need a dog sitter.”
“Chloe was great with our cat, Satchmo. She did drop-in visits for his meals and a little bit of socializing. She sent pics every day and updated us. We feel like we can trust her coming in and out of our house. Great experience.”
About: I’ve had animals in my home since I was born, so I’ve gotten to learn a lot about taking care of them! Over the years friends and family have allowed me to take care of their fur babies and have never been disappointed. I don’t mind giving baths, and I will do most everything else you need me to do! I’m currently working remotely, so I am available to play, walk, and feed your pups at anytime you may need me! I can board your pups anytime after 12pm! I have a fenced in yard with a COVERED pool that dogs and people can walk on! I also have three other small dogs to keep your animal company during their time here! If needed, I can put your pups in a crate, take them on long walks/runs, and anything else. I can also travel to your pups home if needed!
“Camille was awesome! She took great care of my babies! I definitely recommend her!”
About: I am at college currently but grew up on a farm with inside and outside dogs! I have potty trained and crate trained as well! I am happy to help keep your babies safe! I am currently a college student but do not live on campus so I have lots of time in the morning and evening I always have an hour break before my next class or practice! I have lived with dogs my whole life! I will care for your pets based on their routine and needs! I have a huge fenced in yard as well!
About: I have always enjoyed taking care of pets. Small to large I love them all! I will make sure your pet feels at home and loved:) I have a lot of free time, as I work just as a part time waitress so taking care of pets fits my life schedule. I love playing with pets so they get some energy out, and I make sure they are well fed and hydrated, also make sure their favorite toy is around so everyone is happy.
About: I am a registered veterinary technician/nurse (RVT). I have worked on my families farm and in our own dog kennel nearly my whole life. I worked as a VA at a GP clinic for 3 years in Arkansas. Next, I worked at the KSU VHC for 1 year in the small animal ICU. Now I work in a GP clinic in Wichita. I work Monday-Friday 8 to 5. I can do drop in visits before and after work as well as walks. I am available to house sit through the week as well. I work on Saturday a month but other than that my weekends are very open. My dogs get a daily trip to the dog park. One of mine is more active than the other so she also gets a mile walk. When I’m home my dogs and cat are my shadows. They’re everywhere I go. When we’re not being active we are definitely snuggling on the couch. Your pet would receive the same exercise, enrichment, and love (unless they’re lazy bones that’s fine too!!).
“Very reliable and caring. Sent me 4+ pictures for each visit. She played with both dogs every visit and I could see exactly how much they loved it.”
About: I have taken care of dogs for the past 15 years. I have had my own dog for 5 1/2 years, and have regularly taken care of animals for friends over the past two years. I have very flexible availability currently. I am mostly looking for drop-in visits during the day, but I am open to almost anytime during the week. Limited weekend availability. I only enter parts of your home that are necessary to take care of your animal. I can crate your animal if needed. I pick up after an animal as soon as it goes to the bathroom or makes a mess.
About: I’ve taken care of my family and friends fur babies for a while, i’ve also baby sat kids as well as house sit and took care of animals while doing so! My goal is to make sure your fur-babies are happy, healthy and well taken care of while you’re at work or out of town! whatever the case may be I just want to make sure they’re loved! Due to not being able to have kids my pets are like kids to me and I treat everyone’s ’kids’ the same way i do mine, with lots of love!! I’ve done a lot of rescue work in the past with animals aswell as fostered several dogs! I also run my own business making dog and cat bandanas were i donate 10% of all profits to a pet rescue organization 🤎 I’m currently a stay at home dog mom, making taking care of everyone else’s pets extremely easy and very doable! I’m extremely flexible with my time and want to make sure your pets are well taken care of! I care for pets in my home or outside of my home the same way i do mine! Lots of love is given if they allow it, frequent updates will be given even if not asked. I want to make sure everyone can see how their fur-babies are doing and receive as many updates as possible as if it were me this is what i would want!
About: My family have had both dogs and cats since I was 14. I’ve been responsible for feeding, exercising and cleaning up after our beloved pets for years! I am working full-time, I have time to care for animals on weekends and occasional Wednesday’s and thursdays! I prefer mid-afternoons but feel free to send me a message and let’s see if we can work something out! I take my own dogs on 40 minute walks 2-3x a week. I prefer to walk smaller to medium size dogs because of my own small frame.
About: I grew up on a farm with pretty much every animal you can think of, including some exotics. I’ve spent many years raising my own animals (cats, dogs,rabbits, snakes, horses, etc) and have also done the same helping out with our friends and family’s pets. I love animals and honestly wish I could bring them all home but I can’t, so this is the next best thing! I can walk your pet on a leash and crate them when needed. I also have 1 friendly dog and 4 friendly kids to keep your fur baby company! If they need a bath I can also do that too! They will be fed, watered and spoiled rotten! I currently work for a job that I can work both in office and remote so my schedule is pretty flexible and can be open to accommodate anyone’s needs. We always maintain water, keep on their feed schedule as well as any grooming schedules they may have. Lots of play time inside and outside.

11. Shannon B.
“Shannon has been a fabulous pet sitter for our family. She is timely and reliable. She has watched our dogs, cat, and has also cared for our chickens. She sends photo updates daily and responds quickly. Our pets are more relaxed staying home and having Shannon care for them, versus when we used to use a kennel. She will take our energetic one on walks and even a ride to Starbucks! She locks up our home carefully and brings in our mail as a bonus. Definitely recommend her as a pet sitter!”
