“Meghan was very accommodating with my senior special needs dog. He needed the comfort of someone's home. Her children were an added bonus because he loves kids. We don't travel often so being able to find a place Woody felt comfortable as well as myself helped relieve the anxiety of traveling. Our drop off and pick up time needed to be flexible and Meghan was very available via text to and work with those times on the fly. If we have to travel again I will feel comfortable leaving Woody with her.”
“Jolene and Sean were life savers. Nyla had a great time. I loved getting all of the pictures and the communications from them. I definitely look to having Nyla stay with them again.”
“Candice was great! We got photos at least twice/ day; we got videos, and we got multiple updates. I think our dog was sad to leave her family and come home with us. I would absolutely bring Meatball back to her. It is very clear that she loves dogs and takes great care of them. I can’t recommend her enough!”
“Caroline and her husband Brian are wonderful people and dog lovers. Our golden doodle stayed the night at their lovely home and was treated as their own while we went fishing. We are so happy to make new friends and have such a wonderful option for our doodle when fishing at Truman Lake! Highly recommend!!”
About: I've had pets my whole life, large and small dogs, and cats. I also have 100+ hrs walking dogs at the local shelter. Making sure they're happy and well taken care of genuinely makes me happy. I do have a full time job at a daycare center, but I'm free after 3pm on weekdays and any time on weekends. I can do overnights at my house any day of the week. I have a large field behind my house, my yard is not fenced. I always have my dog on a leash when outside and do not kennel her when I'm gone. I do have a kennel if it's needed.

“Dalane was amazing! She sent me photos daily and we chatted about how he was doing. I loved that Louie and her dog got along so well. I highly recommend Dalane! I will for sure be a returning customer!”
“Rebecca P. did a great job watching Dasha (9 week old puppy) for 4 days and 3 nights. She was very attentive and caring for the needs of a young puppy, and was great about sharing lots of updates and photos daily., which provided an appreciated peace of mind. Also was great in accommodating a late pickup when I had a change in my plans. Would definitely recommend and will definitely plan on using this option again.”
“Kylie was a true lifesaver when I couldn’t figure out who to watch over Peaches last minute. She was so understanding and communicative! She kept me updated on how Peaches was. I would highly recommend her to anyone!”
“Shaye was absolutely wonderful! Super responsive and gave us updates throughout the entire stay. My dog got along super well with her sweet pups. They had an absolute blast! I highly recommend Shaye :)”
“Kaitie and Evan did a great job keeping my dogs who suffer from separation anxiety relaxed and assured they were safe while we were away for seven days. Thank you Kaitie and Evan. - Cindy”
“Absolutely amazing, Kristen and her husband went above and beyond looking after my dog scooter, walking, playing, yard time, etc. They gave me constant updates everyday with pictures. Their home is warm and welcoming and I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with them. Highly recommend 11/10 experience!”
“I literally cannot say enough about how fantastic Lisa is. I am so thankful that we found her -- she is now our dog-sitter for life! Lisa is one of those people that just loves and understands dogs, and they respond accordingly. Our two labs have stayed with a few different boarders over the years, and I always felt that they were safe and cared for, but I have NEVER seen them as happy and comfortable away from home as they were with Lisa. She played with them, snuggled them, gave them their doggie supplements, and took them out for adventures on her huge piece of property (8 fenced acres). My dogs loved having so much space to roam and play. Her house is also very dog friendly -- Lisa sent me pictures and updates throughout our trip, and my dogs looked incredibly comfortable napping on her soft red chair. When my 8-year-old saw the pictures, he said, "our dogs are having the best vacation ever!" I am so thankful that we now have a place to take our dogs where they will be not only cared for, but loved and spoiled. Thanks Lisa for such an amazing experience!!”
“So Kassidy/ Dog set for me and I’m a say she sent me pictures and updates and videos I was so impressed with her home and her ability to give affection to my pup. We’re definitely going to use her as our go to and she has a real love for animals and that’s what’s key here. We are so glad to have found you in stark loves major as well.”
About: My husband and I currently live in Olathe and I work in the Overland Park area. We are huge animal lovers and have more than 6 years of Extra-large breed dog ownership and care. We have had (2) St. Bernard’s and a Labrador. So it is safe to say that I am a confident large-dog walker/caretaker. I also spent my high school and college years farm sitting, which consisted of caring for multiple types of animals at one time, most very large! It is my goal to make you feel confident that not only is your pet given adequate exercise and care, but that they are cared for safely and with the same standards that I have for my own animals. Cats are also more than welcome! Pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily routine, as I work from home and am present all day. This flexibility allows me to provide continuous attention and care to your pets, ensuring they receive the companionship and supervision they need. I can easily accommodate feeding schedules, regular walks, playtime, and any special care instructions throughout the day. This constant presence helps maintain a stable environment for your pets, contributing to their well-being and happiness. Caring for pets in my home or my clients’ homes involves maintaining their routines, providing regular meals, administering medications if needed, and ensuring they receive plenty of exercise and affection. I also keep their living spaces clean and safe, engage them with stimulating activities, and monitor their health and behavior closely. Consistent communication with pet owners ensures I meet all specific needs and preferences, providing peace of mind and excellent care for their beloved pets.
