“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!!!!”

About: Loving and caring for animals is truly what I enjoy and love. I am very comfortable around all animals considering I grew up around dogs, cats, cows, horses my entire life while currently owning three dogs, three cats, and a horse. I have been pet sitting for people in my home town for many years. *This is my full time job while being here at KSU for college so other than classes here and there I am free during the day and almost always at night so animals will rarely ever be left alone. I am almost always available and am always around Manhattan. Feel free to message me for last minute bookings if during the week days only! My name is Addy and I am from the Lawrence KS area. I am currently attending KSU as a freshman. I have worked at multiple horse boarding facilities and almost on all holidays have taking care of pets for people in my hometown, which I am now wanting to continue doing here during the school year. I am also currently majoring in animal science production management side. Loving and caring for animals is truly my life and I do not take anything about it lightly the trust that somebody puts into me to provide a safe and loving enviorment for there pets is super important to me because I myself have fur babies that I am very particular with and always want to make sure they will be taken care of correctly when I am away. I am a freshman in college this year at ksu and have plenty of free time during the day and night to come over and watch your animals! I have two classes sometimes three during the day but all of my days are pretty flexible except Monday when I have two classes and a lab. While being up here at KSU and not being able to see all of my fur babies I would love to come and see yours and provide all the care they need to them! I have two puppies, one old dog, three cats, and a horse back at home. I am very good with animals. I would love to come hangout with your fur babies while you are gone or busy at work! I have worked at three horse boarding facilities so I know what it is like to make sure the care is perfect for peoples animals. I enjoy taking care of animals and making them feel loved and safe, I would love to provide that for your pet.
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: I have extensive experience caring for animals, as I’ve had pets in my home since I was a baby. Growing up around pets taught me responsibility at a young age, including feeding, grooming, cleaning, and making sure animals feel safe and comfortable. Over the years, I’ve cared for a variety of pets and have become very attentive to their needs, behaviors, and routines. I understand how important it is to provide not just basic care, but also companionship, patience, and love. My lifelong experience has made me confident in handling different personalities and ensuring pets are well cared for while their owners are away. I am a full time college student and work a part time job as a server. Most of my availability is in the mornings on weekdays and weekends as needed. I am a reliable and caring pet sitter with extensive experience providing private pet care for families. Over time, I’ve built trust with pet owners by consistently showing up on time, following specific care instructions, and treating every pet as if they were my own. I’ve cared for pets with different routines, temperaments, and needs, which has made me adaptable and attentive in any situation. Whether it’s feeding, walking, administering basic care, or simply spending quality time with pets, I always prioritize their comfort, safety, and happiness while their owners are away.

About: I’ve cared for dogs my whole life, starting with fostering puppies through senior dogs. I’m experienced with different temperaments, routines, and basic care like feeding, walks, and medications. My neighbors trust me to watch their pets when they’re away, and I always make sure each dog feels safe, comfortable, and cherished. I treat every dog like my own and prioritize their happiness and well-being. My schedule is pretty flexible, and I do my best to accommodate last-minute bookings when possible! I’m available most weekdays and weekends, especially mornings and evenings. I treat every pet like they’re my own. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I understand every pet has different needs and responsibilities, so I focus on patience and making them feel safe.
“Leo was thoughtful, proactive and communicative. He regularly checked in, was patient and kind, and even got good feedback from the neighbors. When the dog was sick he took time to pick up meds for her and to share how she was doing throughout his stay. Thanks for caring for Mabel, Leo!”

“Annicka was a pleasure to work with! She was incredibly kind, communicative, and easy to talk to. During our initial meeting, she asked thoughtful, detailed questions about our puppy’s care, which immediately put us at ease. Throughout her time with him, she was reliable and kept us well-informed with great updates. We felt completely confident leaving our pup in her care and would absolutely utilize her again, as well as recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive sitter.”

“Jessica stayed with our pups over the weekend. She sent updates and reached out if she had any questions. We returned home and I couldn't even tell she had been here because the house was just as we left it. We are already booked for Christmas.”

“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!”

“Stephanie did an excellent job of taking care of my cat while I went on vacation. She sent updates and pictures to me while I was gone. She completely won over my cat. I highly recommend Stephanie and will definitely book her again for my next trip.”

About: I've been lucky enough to take care of homes and pets in lots of different places, like California, Oregon, and even other countries. All that experience has helped me become really good at providing reliable and loving care for both pets and their people. I’m really good at going with the flow and can easily change my schedule to fit what a pet needs. Whether it’s walking the dog early in the morning, playing with them in the afternoon, or feeding them at night, I’m always flexible and ready to adjust. I always do exactly what my clients ask me to do, whether it’s about feeding their pet on time, giving them medicine, or teaching them good behavior. I know how important it is to keep things consistent for pets, so I try to make their routine as comfortable and familiar as possible.
About: I have taken care of pets since I was 8 for neighbors families and friends. I do walks, baths and general care for dogs and other pets. I’m currently working part-time PM shifts so I have full day availability to care for your pets! I’m a recent grad looking for some help making some extra cash. I am very adaptable to each pets needs and have dealt with various different types of animals. I am very respectful and neat when entering other people’s homes
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for neighbors since I have been a child, and when I was a teenager I would dog-sit for family friends and people in the community. I love doing this, and I always make sure to leave things better than I’ve found them! I’m currently working, so mornings, evenings, nights, and weekends would work best for me!! I occasionally get Wednesdays off as well, so I could work some Wednesdays!! My home has a large backyard with plenty of space for pets to play and use the bathroom! My home is one story, with toys and bowls! In your home, I would make sure toys/things are organized how they were, the home is clean, and work to clean up after the pet as well!

About: I have always had a big heart for all dogs. They truly are man’s best friends! I grew up with 2 dogs of my own, Melbee and Reese. I watched and helped care for them in the crazy puppy and teething stages, the feisty teenager stage, all the way up into the little old lady stage. They were the most loving, sweet dogs and I miss them so much. I think every dog deserves all the love, head scratches, and snuggles in the world and would love to be there for your dogs when you are taking a vacation or will be away! I helped both my dogs with training for emotional therapy support and was there for both puppy potty training courses! I do work Monday - Friday from home, but I am available as early in the morning as you need and then I am avalible after work. If your dog is older and able to come stay at my apartment, I can watch them during my workday! I am also free on the weekends to stop by and care for your baby as much as you need! My apartment complex does not have a fenced yard, however, they do have tons of open space for dogs to play in, lots of walking paths, and are considered to be very pet friendly! There is more than enough space for your dog to get all the walkies and play time they need. In your own home, I will make sure to keep everything exactly the way you need, clean up after both the dogs and myself, and keep your home in top notch condition. I know dogs can get messy sometimes so If you show me where the vacuum is, I will get right to work! Nothing is better than coming home to your favorite pet and a nice clean home!

“Our tried and true! We appreciate how well Susan cares for our pup like he is her own. You can tell she truly loves her time with him. And she is excellent at caring for our home while we are away too. Can’t recommend her enough!”

What can I say. Joel was fantastic! I visited friends in Florida and was gone for two weeks. When I returned the house was in great order and Tuck was a happy camper. Joel did a number of other things around my house such as filling my bird feeders, feeding my fish and watering my plants. All done very successfully. Joel is a very responsible sitter who obviously loves animals and he his dog sitter went extremely well. I would definitely use his services again.

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!!!!

I received every other day reports from Joel, tho I did miss pictures that other sitters sent. Bailey was in a good mood when I got home. No limping, has had knee surgery, so I knew Joel monitored her activity. The house was in good shape and he had started the sheets in the washing machine. I would call him again.
