About: I’ve taken care of all types of dogs both big and small. I have watched animals that pull on walks, need medicine, or any other special treatment. I’ve been taking care of animals since I was 14 and absolutely love animals of all kind. I am 16 years old and am an incoming Junior at Blue Valley High School. I am currently working a part-time job so I have plenty of time to watch your animals! Currently, I am working 3 days a week (Monday, 12-4; Wednesday, 2-6; and Saturday, 8:30-3). I have a german shepherd who isn’t very social, so we don’t have dogs over at my house. When I watch clients animals, I make sure the animals get a lot of play time including a walk if client is comfortable with it. I will do anything the client wants and is comfortable with!
“Jodi was wonderful with my animals, especially my dog who needed multiple medications and extra care while I was away. She is professional, patient, dedicated and communicative. I would recommend her to anyone in need of pet/house sitting. Truly blessed to have had her as a sitter!”
“Kelly was amazing!! She was left with a less than ideal situation, and she handled it beautifully!”
“Torie took great care of my doggies and my home! She is always so sweet and attentive with my pups, and she did a great job of checking in and giving me updates while I was out of town.”
About: As an experienced pet sitter at a reputable boarding facility, I am dedicated to providing the highest level of care for your furry friends. With years of hands-on experience, I understand the unique needs of each pet and strive to create a comfortable and safe environment during their stay. My passion for animals drives me to ensure that every pet receives personalized attention, regular exercise, and plenty of affection, making their time away as enjoyable as possible. Trust me to treat your pets like family while you’re away! I work at a boarding/daycare facility and have my own pups at home, so pet care is an everyday thing for me. If i’m not taking care of my own, i’m taking care of someone else’s pet! I like to go over everything I would need to know about your pup and your home. It’s important I get a complete understanding of their needs and your expectations so we don’t have any issues!
“Thank you so much for being here for our fur babies while we were out of town. They weren’t even anxious when we got home which let me know that they were cared for with so much love.”
“Brittany was a wonderful friend and caretaker to our dog, Buster while we were out of town. She sent plenty of updates and Buster had a wonderful time hanging out and cuddling with her. She went above and beyond to make sure both our pet and home were taken care of. Will definitely use her again.”
“Emma was great! She took care of our boys while we were out of town and they were super happy when we came back! I loved that she sent photos of our doggos frequently when we were gone and she gave us daily updates as well. We will for sure be using her again!”
“Whitney took great care of my two older pugs. She communicated well and sent regular pupdates. My house was clean when I returned and the pups were happy. I would definitely book Whitney again.”
About: While I don't have formal experience, I've spent my whole life taking care of pets at home. I've even raised our current pups from puppies to adulthood, handling everything from feeding to playtime. My goal is to treat every pet like part of the family. As we head past graduation and into the summer, I will have a very flexible schedule! I'm available on the weekends, evenings, and soon to be during the weekdays as well! Every pet deserves the family treatment! I'm careful to follow their set routines and rules - whether it's playtime, feeding, or crate time. Your pet's safety always comes first!
“Greta was so well taken care of with Kamen! A great walker and even better sitter. She was so happy when we got home and can tell she was loved and cared for! Will absolutely book Kamen again for walks and out of town trips!”
“I needed to find a pet sitter quickly, and she willingly agreed. She took amazing care of my dogs. She sent updates and asked concerning questions that showed me she was not only watching them but really caring for them. So happy to have her watch my dogs.”
About: I am a dog lover who has a passion for providing personalized care! Whether that be offering extra TLC for senior dogs, walking your energetic pup, or giving your pet a fun and safe experience while you are away! I have had years of dog experience, from the puppy phase to end of life, and in between. I can assure you I will provide your pup with the attention and care they deserve! My schedule fluctuates day to day, but is consistent each week. It allows me for free time in the mornings on T/Th and free time in the evenings on MWF. I am rarely gone on the weekends, so I would be available Sat/Sun. When caring for your pet in your home, I will prioritize consistency, comfort, and safety! I want to ensure the pup’s routine has minimal disruption and make them feel at ease. I will make sure to provide updates accordingly and leave your pup’s space the way it was prior to arriving!
About: I have had dogs all my life and always thought of them as family! I have worked with Great Danes, labs, pitbulls, dachshunds, and Yorkies. I currently have a 2 year old black bully mix named Patrick, he's my best friend and shotgun rider! I have trained him in: stay, leave it, here/come, spin, between (going between legs), leg weaving, giving kisses and of course high five! I am a professional weightlifter and don't mind handling big dogs. I am available after 3:00PM on Wednesdays and Thursdays and free anytime on weekends! I can cover most holidays too! I will always do my best to accommodate emergency situations as well. In my home, Patrick is part of the family and is treated as such. He gets spoiled with treats and love. Inform me of any food allergies or food preferences of your dog as I love to make lick bowls / lick mats! I also have experience with cats and would love to provide the same care and mental stimulation to them as well! I have also owned reptiles and learned how to build a relationship with them by respecting boundaries in learning their body language.
“Draven was fantastic. There was work being done outside the house that couldn’t be rescheduled and she was ok with taking the dog out front for a bit instead. She even kept me updated when there was a power outage after a storm ❤️”
