About: We’re a pet-loving home with 3 cats and 2 sweet senior dogs—all friendly, spayed/neutered, and great with guests! Your pet will feel right at home with plenty of love, snuggles, and playtime. I am available everyday, if I am boarding in my home I am available to come and go a lot. If boarding in your home I am available to stop by multiple times during the day/night. I have a fenced yard & two senior dogs who enjoy company. They’re still young at heart! 3 cats who are very social and enjoy new faces.

“Jenny is a great sitter! She took such good care of our 4 pets - 2 dogs, 2 cats - sending us pic and video updates and generally being communicative, We felt very at ease leaving our babies in her care!”


About: I have been boarding pets and dog sitting for family and friends for over twenty years. We are all pet lovers here, so our home was quite literally designed with pets in mind. I have a big fenced in backyard, tons of dog and cat toys and tennis balls, and of course washable couch cushions and rugs everywhere because we know accidents happen 😂 My golden loves all dogs, and there’s nothing my kids like better than coming home to see a different pup or cat here. I previously worked at and volunteered at several shelters, and now just work remotely part time from home, after resigning as a Claims Specialist for the Social Security Administration HQ here in KCMO. I can administer medication, and my speciality is elderly dogs that need extra attention and/or dogs that don’t do well in typical boarding situation due to anxiety and/or destructive behaviors because here, they can have as much attention as they do (or don’t!) want. Neutering also is not as issue as mine all are. I currently work from home 20 hours a week medical billing and coding, my schedule is flexible and my children are both in daycare/elementary school and gone from approx 8-4. I have a fenced in large yard in a quiet neighborhood, so I walk dogs I watch/my dogs 1-2 times a day and let out any elderly dogs I am currently watching through the front door to avoid the deck steps. I feed my dogs twice a day, they drink filtered water and get denta sticks each day. I always bring dog treats on walks so reinforce good behavior. We consider our pets people here, so getting on furniture is allowed as well.

About: Hi! I’m Ashley, I'm a lifelong dog lover who’s excited to help care for your pup. I work from home two days a week and offer loving, dependable care whether your dog needs companionship, walks, or just someone to check in while you’re away. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities — from high-energy puppies to chill senior dogs — and I always take time to learn what makes each one happiest. Whether it’s belly rubs, structured walks, or cozy couch naps, I’ll match your dog’s vibe. I pride myself on keeping a calm, safe space with plenty of attention when I’m home. When I’m out, I make sure they’re secure, comfortable, and on their routine. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos so you always know how your pup is doing! Let’s schedule a meet-and-greet — I’d love to connect and learn about your dog’s unique needs. I currently work from home two days a week, which allows for extra attention, potty breaks, and companionship during the day. On the other three in-office days, I’m available for early morning, evening, and overnight care depending on your needs. I’m also fully available on weekends, making me a great option for weekend getaways, dog walking, or extended care. No matter the schedule, I’ll always keep your pet's routine in mind and provide updates to give you peace of mind. Your pet’s safety is my top priority. I take every precaution to ensure they are secure, comfortable, and well cared for at all times. I never leave pets unattended in unsecured spaces — whether indoors, in a yard, or during walks. I always use leashes, double-check gates and doors, and follow any safety instructions or routines you provide. I treat every pet like they’re my own and respect the trust you place in me to care for them. You can count on me for reliable, attentive care and regular updates, so you always know your pet is in safe hands.

About: I’ve taken care of puppies and other small dogs since I was 15. Neighbors and friends and family have relied on me to watch, walk and feed their fur babies. I’m currently a stay at home mom so I’ll be able to walk anytime. I try to get out in the fresh air daily as needed. So excited! I have a friendly, lovable dog that will keep you fur baby company. I also will make sure the pet is well feed. I can easily crate if needed.

“Kristen watched our 2 corgis for nearly a week. She was super responsive, professional, sent us daily updates, and was very reliable. She took great care of our house and plants while we were away, too. We plan on using her services in the future for other house sitting and highly recommend her!”


About: I have a wide range of experience with pet care, from pet sitting since I was a teenager to working in veterinary clinics and emergency care hospitals throughout high school and college. I am confident with dogs and cats of any size, breed, and age. Thanks to my experience in vet clinics, I am familiar with providing medication topically, orally, and nasally with both dogs and cats. On a personal note, I have cared for my own geriatric pets - my childhood golden retriever and several senior kitties. Pets that require dedicated care and frequent medical attention hold a special place in my heart. I have raised puppies and kittens and am happy to supplement training and treat distribution/reward systems as directed by the pet owner. I believe that pet owners deserve peace of mind because there is nothing more stressful than leaving a beloved pet in the care of another - especially if that person is not a familiar. As a pet sitter, I strive to earn the respect of not only my client but their pet(s) as well. It is a privilege and an honor to be entrusted with your fur babies. If you have special requirements or behavioral notes for your pet(s), I am happy to discuss them with you and ensure that you're selecting the best individual for their care! *My husband, Brandon, may join me for walks that are early or late in the day for safety’s sake. If that is anticipated, I will communicate with my clients ahead of time and confirm that they are comfortable with the circumstance. If pets are uncomfortable with a male, I am happy to adjust! I am available most weekends, weekdays after 6pm, and occasional weekdays during work hours (see below for more info). I am not available on Mondays. I work full time Monday-Friday; however, I do WFH one day a week, which affords me additional flexibility for care requests during work hours. For any weekday requests I would like a weeks notice so that I can schedule that WFH day in advanced notice. Thank you! When caring for pets in another's home, I follow the house rules, respect property, and aim to sustain schedules. For example, removing shoes while in the home, keeping pet care items in designated spots, staying with the pet if they go out into the yard for play or potty, following a training regimen, kenneling before leaving, etc. If you have specific requests for me, I am happy to discuss them with you in advance!

About: I’ve been around pets of all kinds my whole life from cats and dogs to chickens and horses. I’ve also always helped my grandparents to feed and bath their babes I work full time but am available on weekdays or the weekends. My schedule with work is very flexible if it is needed. We go on nightly walks and frequent park visits. My three kids and I love animals, we have plenty of space to roam in the house or I also have a large fenced yard.

“Skylar was so perfect watching my fur babies! She stayed overnight and made them feel safe and was so good at communicating with me! She also came over an extra time with no questions when I was worried about my doggie door! 10/10!”
