About: I have a love for all animals and I’ve had dogs and cats all my life. I’ve also had fish and hamsters. I’m open to learning more. I’m interested in pet care full-time or part-time. I would love to care for pets from a nice, COVID-safe and comfortable household. I’m able to take on more than one job without conflicting schedules. In my home, I have 4 cats of varying ages. They are 7 and up, all the way to 14. The older cats do not require medicine but do not have bladder control. I have one dog that I take for walks and let out in my backyard.

Kathleen did an amazing job! She jumped in with last second notice without hesitation and helped our boy who has limited mobility after a surgery. She was prompt and very communicative with a summary of each visit, photos, and videos. Will definitely contact Kathleen again.

Jessica was great. Our cat gets lonely while we are away. Jessica plays with our active 2 year old and gives him lots of love. She does what you ask her to do. Definitely will use her again. Getting the pictures helps you know that everything is ok.

We booked Rachel pretty last minute to do a drop in visit this week and were very happy with her service. She was extremely responsive to messages, stopped by to meet us beforehand and kept us updated during and after the visit. Our dogs were happy when we got home. Would definitely recommend and book her again. :)

About: After over 25 years working in education, I took the leap and followed my passion to animal rescue. After volunteering for over 15 years in rescue, I've worked full time in the field. While most of my work is with cats, I do help with dogs as well. I love all cats (even the spicy ones) and have experience distributing meds, nail trims, etc. I also have a flexible schedule and can work with you to meet your floof's needs!! While I work full-time, I do set my own hours for the most part. So I am available to stop in both during the day and evenings. I live in Independence, but travel to Olathe for work and various locations around KC, so I can be flexible on locations as well! As the mom to 3 cats (Chunk, Pam, & Wink) and a foster mama to many more, I understand that the safety of your fu babies is the top priority. I promise to treat them like my own. I am very picky about who cat sits for me, so I understand the additional stress leaving town comes with. So rest assured they will be spoiled rotten!!

Katie did a great job with our two cats. She was on time, provided outstanding care & feeding, & gave us daily pictures of them. We couldn’t be happier. Definitely recommend her for drop-in care of pets.

About: Experience caring for all creatures from livestock to small animals. I love all animals, and I am happy to make their routine as normal as possible while you are away. I love to walk and play outside as well as stay in and snuggle on the couch. What ever your pets need, we can make it work! I am used to following detailed plans, routines and instructions to make sure your absence is as easy as possible for your fur kids! I am more than happy to send updates and photos as often as you would like, I know how great it can be to see them when you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your companions! I am currently working remote Tuesday through Friday and have the ability to complete dog-walks or drop in visits for all species during those days. I always strive to make pets feel as comfortable as possible during our interactions, and stick to their routines as much as possible. From crate training to play time my goal is to have pets enjoy their time spent with me.

Anthony provided detailed excellent care of our three cats. When we walked into the house they greeted us and wanted to play -- as they had with Anthony. We highly recommend Anthony for any animal care. He is compassionate, detailed and is a welcome change to the care standard of most caregivers. If we have future needs, we will seek Anthony again!! Thank you so much~!!

About: I have had dogs my whole life and would constantly take them for walks and care for them. I love animals they make me feel happy! I'm currently a college athlete with a part-time job. I am comfortable around any dog and willing to work when I have the openings. I am excited to learn about your dog and what needs to be learned when becoming buddies with your furry friend :) We have a fenced yard, keep eyes on the pets, and make sure they are comfortable and happy with the environments they are in and safe.

Absolutely wonderful!! We were very nervous about leaving our 11yo golden at home while we vacationed because his health is declining. She listened to all my instructions, texted me every day along with pictures, and eased my mind about leaving him. She did drop in visits and walked him around outside each day. We definitely found our sitter!

About: Hello pet parents! I have always had pets around me or in my home. I am the go to sitter for friends and family. I have cared for small, large, elderly, shy and super energetic animals. I have also had a spotted leopard gecko. He lived to be about 10 or so, the previous owner didn’t know his age but I figured has was about that old or older. My cousins always had lizards. Now some of them do rescues for lizards. So if you have an exotic pet, they will receive the same quality care as your furry ones. Medications I can do no problem. You just leave me the meds, instructions, and your vets number in case I need to call them. Your pet has weird quirks, like they need to think their meal is chief quality? I can pretend to whip up their kibble like it’s a 5 star dish. They need to be wrapped like a burrito before they can sleep? Or need me to sing a random song before they can poop? I got it, it’s their world and I’m lucky to be in it. Whatever you or your pet needs I’m up to the task. I can’t wait to meet you and your animal friends! I do have 4 cats of my own so morning and evening I feed, clean litter boxes, and entertain them. I would love for animal care to be my full time job. Right now I will be available evenings and weekends until I can make this more permanent. Your animal/furry babies comfort and safety is my top priority. I will not take any pet outside unless they are leashed, contained, or within my site in a fenced in backyard. Before I leave I will make sure that I have laid my eyes on them and all exits are closed/locked. I will not be offering boarding at my place at this time, in the future I would love to. 3 out of the four cats are dog friendly. The one that isn’t has a room they can go in (which they prefer), I have a large fenced in backyard that they will be 100% supervised. No one is escaping on my watch!

About: I've been pet sitting for about three years now, petsitting many different breeds such as Danes, Australian Shepards, Labs, Golden Retrievers, Huskies, and German Shepards. I love big dogs and grew up constantly around Great Danes and Mastiffs. I've also raised three puppies over the years and been involved in basic care, walking, playing, and potty training. Animals are my whole life and I'm getting certified in dog grooming starting in August, so I'm available for a large amount of time over the summer! Currently, I'm looking to pet sit full time! I am available on almost any day of the week (and weekend!) and can come at any time needed during this summer. I will always make sure your fur babies are fed, have water at all times, get any specific meds (if needed), are played with as much as possible, and are plenty loved! I will treat your animals as if they were my own, making sure they are consistently happy and healthy. I also strive to make your return back home as stress-free as possible and often vacuum, wipe down surfaces, and tidy up before leaving!

About: I have taken care of animals by volunteering at the Kansas City pet project as well as fostering animals. I love being around animals and making sure they are well taken care of. Starting January 6th, 2026, I will be starting my student teaching semester, where I am at school from 7:40-3:30 Monday through Friday. Other than that, I can be with the pets as much as you need! I care for pets by making sure they are let out when they need to be, making sure they are fed, and by giving them plenty of love!
