“Katie always gives the best care to our cats, including giving medicine to our two special needs cats. She is highly recommended by us for her promptness, dependability and care.”


“This was my first time using Rover and Mya made the experience amazing! I will definitely be using her again. My dog is very shy and not good with strangers but Mya took her time to be patient and calming. My dog started warming up to her very fast and I belive dogs have a good judge of character ;)”


“Kat is amazing! She took such great care of our 3 dogs, taking the time to get to know each of them and making relaxing on our vacation easy. We will definitely use her again!”


“Olivia is a wonderful sitter. She sent us detailed messages with pictures each day. We booked her to stay for an hour every time and she successfully brought our shy kitty out of his shell for some cuddling. She's reliable, on time and pays attention to detail. You can't go wrong with Olivia.”

About: If you need a pet sitter, you can contact me. I am very responsible and have time available. I am a nurse and have a lot of experience in pet care, medication administration, and CPR. I currently work from home and have plenty of time to take care your pet, I have a large yard so you can walk and play with your dog I live in a house in the Independence City area, a quiet place where your pet can rest without stress or noise from the city.

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 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.

About: I love animals. I grew up with cats and dogs. I sing. I believe life is an adventure, and I'm ready to try something fresh and new. Our furry family need special love and attention, and I am always happy and willing to provide that to them. This is just a stepping stone. I grew up with a number of family pets around, making an otherwise chaotic world seem more serene and peaceful. Magical even. This opportunity seems to fit into my current lifestyle perfectly. I am trustworthy, dependable, and kind. I listen more than I speak. I love to watch movies and TV. Pet care is not work, for me. I consider it play time. I perform off of pure instincts. To be quite frank, I enjoy animals. I like to spend a lot of time outdoors. But, while indoors, pets will have their own area to lounge in. Your pets will almost consider me a friend, if not family.

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.

About: I'm not in school and I have a part time job so I'm pretty available anytime to check on your doggie's. I work nights so if you pet stays with me my mom also does rover and she would be able to help out if needed! i don’t work that long only like 5 hours a couple nights a week. I'm very responsible and reliable for dog sitting. Also I have good experience with dogs, I have been around dogs for my whole life. I could do anything you want me to do for you dogs. I would treat them just like they were my own. I could even stay a little and play with them on my visits to make sure they are happy and have everything that they need while their loved ones are away from home for a little. I could always take them on walks too around your neighborhood. I love being around animals so I'm sure they will be happy to have someone there. Also I will always send you pics of your babies!!! ❤️ I would also love to have your pet at my house if needed. My pets always need someone to play with. I have lots of toys for cats or dogs, a fenced in yard. I also love taking dogs with me on rides in the car! I hope this helps you out a little to get to know me! Look forward to meeting you and your fur babies!

About: I have a stubborn Pitbull that I've trained for service animal work. I'm not scared of any specific breeds! I also have had cats my entire life! I love giving cuddles. My baby is allergic to everything so I am also very familiar with allergies. Walking isn't a problem. I prefer pups that are gentle on leashes but am willing to work with the most advanced pullers! I am willing to stay over night if needed. I also prefer people on the night shift as I dont sleep well at night. I follow directions well and I also have to give my boy allergy medication so if that is needed I am not afraid to give them but would prefer a written document stating it is okay for me to give and written directions on how you give the medication *example 1 apoquel tab at what time* I work until 5 but am available after that. I am available on holidays and weekends as well. I work with all breeds. Pitties of course are my favorite Currently my house isn't big enough to have animals stay with me. I prefer coming out to your house where the dog or cat is familiar.

“We need a drop-in ASAP, same day and a short notice. Someone was supposed to let our dogs out and canceled last minute! We were soooo lucky and blessed to have such a reliable person to go check our babies! They made sure to let us know if something seemed off about one of our babies and made sure to ask if it was normal! I couldn’t recommend them more!”


About: Hello! My name is Jennifer! I used to go to animal shelters and volunteer in the cat houses and then switch off to walk dogs to help them get the exercise they need. Having used to work at a Petsmart and a doggy daycare, I have experience with dog handling from the trainers and lots of experience keeping dogs entertained while their parents looked around for their next squeaky toy and treats! I have house sat many times for people with cats and dogs for either days or weeks at a time. I would be a fun and bubbly personality to hang out with your animals for a little bit to take them on walks around the block, the park, or wherever you want your pets to see! I have several years of reliable pet care experience. I work full time but am able to take animals out with me while I am at work! My wife and I have our evenings free to take care of and love your animals! I am very flexible and trustworthy in the pet parent’s homes. I do have other animals, so it’s important that if I care in home, that they are okay with other animals!. Other than that, I have a dog who LOVES to play with other dogs!
