“Joel was fantastic! He loved on our dogs and took care of them just as we do. We have one dog who did not handle us leaving well and tore some things up. Joel cleaned up the messes and was so very gracious through all of her difficulties until we returned. We will DEFINITELY hire Joel again, if he’s willing to put up with us again. Lol. Thank you, Joel!!!!”

“Jessica was so kind and took great care of our anxious pup! She updated everyday with pictures and how things were going. She stayed in our home and left it in great condition as well. We will definitely use her again and would recommend her to anyone!”

“Sean was incredible!! He kept me up to date every step of the way and sent lots of great pictures. He left the house in tiptop shape and my boys enjoyed playing with him all week long.”


“Susan was a great sitter for my dog! She found time to drop in a couple days before her weeks long visit so that Finley could get reacquainted with her. I received updates and pictures daily which was great!! My dog and I felt at ease with Susan helping out! She and our bearded dragon even seemed to take well to one another. I am so grateful to have found such good help and will not hesitate to use Susan again❤️🐕🦺❤️”

“We were very impressed with Gabby from the moment we met her. She’s shy but very kind and took wonderful care of our dogs. She sends lots of updates which we appreciated and reassured us that they were doing fine and having fun along the way ❤️We will definitely be booking Gabby again!”

About: I have been taking care of my dog and family and friend’s dogs since I was a teenager. Until I am in a position to have my own dog again, I would love to help take care of yours. I’m currently a senior in college as well as a soccer player. I am available in the mornings until 12:30 on weekdays. Weekends may vary. I am available on weeknights after 7:00. I live in a large house with many roommates that also love dogs. There would be a lot of attention and playing with your pup.
About: I have taken care of pets since I was 13 and house sat since I was 15!! I was also a kennel tech for a year! This included giving medication, bathing, feeding, and just plain old watching the pets! I know CPR for our fury friends too! I have two dogs of my own as well as four cats so I am completely comfortable with a variety. I am a college student working on my masters online while working another job as well. My schedule is pretty straight forward for me so pet care will fit well as long as I keep my calendar balanced. I am comfortable house sitting for both dogs and cats. I am more than capable of crating or letting pets out to potty. I usually keep treats on me anytime I care for a furry friend. When I walk animals, I usually go for 30 minutes to an hour so that they get the excercise needed. I also have bags for when they do their business on a walk.
About: My goal is to joyfully take pride in pet care by providing personalized attention and genuine affection to every animal I meet as well as build trust with every owner. I’m actively a college student at KU. Providing this service is a helpful and therapeutic. I ensure my pet care will involve daily activities like feeding, exercise, and companionship. I ensure my pet care will involve daily activities like feeding, exercise, and companionship. I also provide a safe environment both indoor and outdoor protecting each pet from any hazards.
“My dogs were relaxed and happy when we came home after they spent 7 hours with Matthew—they even sat near him and interacted with him after we returned instead of clinging to us because we were gone for the day. He sent us a picture of a fetch game with my dogs. My cat liked him too. We have already booked Matthew for additional petsitting dates—win!”

About: Hi! I’m Sarah, an experienced, reliable pet caregiver and lifelong animal lover. My son and I recently said goodbye to our beloved dog of 12 years, and while we aren’t quite ready to welcome a new pet of our own, we deeply enjoy caring for animals and making them feel safe, loved, and at home. I have over 15 years of experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I take a thoughtful, individualized approach—meeting each dog where they are and offering just-right levels of activity, enrichment, and rest based on their needs, age, and energy. Our home is calm, clean, and well-supervised. We live near the levee and regularly walk the nearby forested river trails, which many dogs love for gentle exercise, fresh air, and enrichment. I prioritize safety, routines, clear communication, and plenty of affection, including snuggles and relaxed indoor downtime. My 9-year-old son is kind, gentle, and very respectful with animals, and he especially loves quiet companionship and playtime (always supervised). Your pet will be treated like a valued family member, and you can expect dependable care, thoughtful attention, and regular updates while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule that allows plenty of time for walks, play, and check-ins, including afternoons, evenings, and weekends, to match your pet’s routine. Pets are always supervised in a calm, clean home. I follow routines, respect boundaries, involve my gentle, animal-savvy child appropriately, and communicate clearly with owners.
About: I have had dogs in my life for more than 25 years. I have adopted and fostered a variety of pets, including a couple with trauma in their past. All of our experiences have been positive and we have forged great bonds. I have been through dog training and have experience with administering medications. We have a roomy home and a nice backyard for play etc. Our household is low key and we are very flexible. I am happy yo come to your home as well, I understand that can be more comfortable for your pets. I have experience working with pets that are not my own, you can be confident that I have seen it all, nothing upsets me! I work a part time job, and also have a home-based business, with lots of flexibility in my schedule. My husband is retired, he is my backup so coverage is not an issue. In your home, I follow the guidelines you establish. If something unexpected comes up, I get in touch with you or use my discretion (depending on urgency and situation). Since I have raised my own children, owned multiple dogs, have worked in Elder Care, and now work as a Nanny, handling crazy things and responding to true emergencies is part of my skill set. In my own home, we have a relaxed routine, and we have time to spend with our doggie guests. We have created a calming environment to help manage any separate anxiety or stress. (We do not currently have our own pets, sadly)
About: I have had dogs my entire life and pet sit other people's dogs many times. I have also volunteered at the humane society and have lots of experience with pets. I am a college student currently home for break so I am very available to care for your pets and walk or play with them! I will care for your pets however you request, to me this means cleaning up after them, walking them, playing with them, and feeding them.
“Elizabeth and her husband did amazing, they went the extra mile to take my dogs on a walk and definitely played with my puppy. My dogs were so happy in their care and they were very well taken care of. They sent me pictures and updates throughout the day and night. I will definitely use them again to watch the pups!”

About: I treat other’s dogs as if they are my own! I love dogs so much! If they wanna play, walk, or just snuggle I would be open to anything! I feel that dogs should be given as much love as humans! I currently am working part-time. So I have plenty of free time! If you just need a drop in to let out, feed, walk, or play I would love to help! Communication is key to a happy animal schedule!! I will supervise the animals when goin to the bathroom!! I treat other’s animals as my own and give them unlimited lovings!! Also if wanted I can take photos of their animals for a keepsake if wanted!!! (There will be an added cost)
