“So good with our cat!! Aaryn provided great updates and so many pictures of our kitty each day, and our cat looked very well cared for and happy!! She was lucky to have Aaryn stopping in to spend some time with her!”
“Yvette was AWESOME with my two cats. She was thorough and did great giving my senior cat his medication even when he was being stubborn and spent the remaining time playing with the kitten and wearing her out.”
“Kaitie took great care with our very shy cat. While our cat Veronica hid during Kaitie's visits, we can tell Kaitie took care of her. Staying at home was a lot less stressful for Veronica. She was in her own environment. Thanks Kaitie for everything! I recommend Kaitie if you are looking for a pet sitter!”
“Gracie has done a great job, she even made a friend of Linus our scaredy cat. He would run when people would come over and she got him to let her pet him. We will use her again!”
“Holly was exceptional while watching our dogs when we were on vacation. You could tell she really cared for the dogs and gave them a lot of attention. I know they will miss her again until the next time she watches them! I highly recommend Holly!”
“So grateful for Jennipher for looking after our cats! We have a 5 month old kitten we were nervous to leave alone for the weekend, but Jennipher eased our nerves. We appreciated her punctuality, updates, and even getting our mail for us!”
About: I grew up on a farm with many pets, have worked in a dog training center, worked in a pet boarding hotel and I have been an animal care specialist animal for the past few years at the Kansas City Zoo! I have worked with a very wide variety of pets & animals of all different ages. I currently am a full time animal care specialist at the KC zoo! In my free time I love meeting new pets, training animals and spending time with my corgi! I have a flexible schedule during my weekends as well as most early mornings or evenings. I am primarily looking for dogs to take on walks and pet check ins, will consider house sitting/boarding once familiar with the pet & family! I have been working with a wide variety of animals for many years & have studied animal behavior at the college level! I am a very outgoing and loving person towards all pets. My whole life revolves around my corgi and I’d love for part of my life to revolve around your pets as well!
About: I have over 15 years hands on experience with dogs. I currently have 6 larger dogs, 4 small, and 4 cats. I work at a vet a few days a week. I have successfully ran my own boarding business and may end up doing that again in the future. I pay close attention to my pets to make sure they get the best care possible. I am very proactive and involved with them 24/7. My pets are my babies!! They are spoiled, just as they should be. My dogs age in range from 1-16. I hope I get the chance to love on your furbabies real soon!! I am available on my days off from the vet, but am open to long term stays as long as I can separate accordingly when I am away!! My dogs and I live on 4 acres. About half of that is fenced off for them!! We walk, we play, they wrestle and chase each other. All 10 of them love each other so much!!
“Thank you, Kassidy for taking such good care of my scared cat. My 5 day get away was much better knowing Bodhi was in good hands. I received daily updates from Kassidy and she promptly replied to any messages I sent her. I will definitely get ahold of Kassidy if I am needing a place for my cat.”
“Alexandra was great! This was a bit of a last-minute booking, but she responded quickly and the visits were set up in no time. My cat's food, water, and litter box were all taken care of as I had requested. Most importantly, my kitty was relaxed and happy when I got home, because he had been properly cared for in my absence. Would absolutely book with Alexandra again.”
About: I currently own 1 dog, 1 cat and 1 horse. My dog is older and requires additional care. I have given IVs and oral medication as needed. I have also taken care of friends and families pets while they were away. While I currently work full time I do not work on Fridays or on the weekends making me available for all your pet needs during that time. I will pick up any mess's if necessary, let your fur friend out, or take them on a walk. Feed them and bath them is needed
About: I’ve always had pets and always took care of them. I now have my own that I personally take care of and take care of friends and families pets. I have done drop ins and overnights for family friends and I also worked at a vet walking dogs and cleaning up their living spaces. I also fed both cats and dogs and gave them daily meds. I work 6am-2:30pm Monday-Friday at the dog hotel. 3:30-7:30 Mon, Wed, Thurs and 8:30-12:30 Sat at the swim school. I will either take off days for overnight sitting or try to fit drop ins and walks with my days off or around my scheduled shifts. I have great transportation that I’m fine with taking animals in. I can take your pet to a dog park or to a trail to walk at and get them some sunshine. I have walked dogs through snow and rain so there’s no stopping me! I also am comfortable staying overnight at a clients home to take care of a pet. Also if you want your cat taken for walks I 100% can do that! I have been trying to get my cat to take walks but he’s still a little too small for his harness. I can also bring a harness for your cat to borrow if you don’t have one!
About: I’ve been around pets ever since I can remember and have always had at least 1 dog if not 2. I find genuine joy in spending time with animals and would love nothing more than to spoil your babies like my own! I work an on/off week so one week I only work Wednesday, Thursday - the next week I only have Wednesday, Thursday off. I try to update a month or two at a time but unless I have something special going on my my availability will follow that on/off schedule. I haven’t met a dog I don’t love. I will treat them as if they’re my own and make sure they get plenty of loves and mental stimulation!
About: I have taken care of a family friends 3 dogs for a few years and I have worked in a few veterinary clinics caring for dogs and cats also. I have taken care of everything young to old. I currently am home for the summer so I have plenty of time to drop in on your pups and cats! I am available during the week and on Saturdays. I have stayed at a clients home before and I make sure everything stays clean while I’m there and I do a quick clean before I leave. I make sure to go out with the pets and keep a good eye on them at all times.
About: Animals of all sorts are drawn to me and I them! I grew up with the nickname Dr. Doolittle. I not only have experience caring for domestic pets but exotic pets too! I'll always treat your little buddy with warmth and love. I like to stay active and happy, and caring for your pet would do just the trick. I'd like to make money doing something that means a lot to me. I visit them, and give them a bit of attention and love before feeding them and/or crating them. I can give them enrichment and exercise.
About: Hello! I am a Vet Technician at the Pleasant Hill Animal Clinic. I have worked there over 2 years, and have worked/had animals my entire life. I have two dogs of my own, as well as 4 horses. I am currently working part-time due to me being in college, so I have more than enough time to cater to your furry friends everyday. Upon entering my clients home, I take note of possible escape routes and hiding spots your animal may find in a new situation. I understand some pets get stressed, and watch those areas so no accidents happen. I try to make every single animal feel as comfortable with me, as they do with their own family.
