House Sitting in Burkhardt

“Charlotte took great care of our elderly cats. She provided daily updates and pictures so we knew they were doing well and were very comfortable with her. Nice to come home to happy cats! Thank you!!”

About: Hello Pet People! Pets and their people have always been happy with my patience, clear communication, and cleanliness. In the past year I have done 6 extended stay sits with 5 dogs and 4 cats, including elderly and rescue animals. I have administered medication and worked with both on-leash and off-leash or fenced-in exercise routines. I am confident that I can maintain a comfortable setting for your furry friends! I have been the grateful owner of two housecats in the past: Holly and Mr. Kitty. Holly has passed and Mr. Kitty has moved to the family farm where he can play outside more. I grew up on a Wisconsin dairy farm with two female rescue dogs, a black lab and a beagle mix. In addition, there was a large family of barn cats. We were all very close and I've always had a deep and healthy connection with animals. Since the dogs stayed primarily outside the house, I have cared for pets in typical urban/town setting to gain more experience via Trustedhousitters - please see testimonials! (My teenage son, shown in a few of my photos, accompanied me on some of the sits, but he doesn't come along anymore now that he is grown.) I work online as an English tutor with a global company called Preply. I usually have about 3 contact hours per weekday, which gives me plenty of time to enjoy and care for your pets. If the internet in your home is stable, that's all I need. As an experienced housesitter and responsible, mature adult, I will be respectful of your home and belongings and safely handle whatever may come up in addition to the usual pet care, mail and security precautions. Regarding cleanliness, I'm not squeamish and I do what needs to be done. When you return home, everything will be just as you left it or cleaner. Also, I have a green thumb, so no plant will wilt on my watch.

“Carolyn was great with our dog Georgia! She took good care of her and provided us with updates and photos! We would recommend her!”

“Olivia did a great job with our gentle giant Raven. She stayed two nights, sent photos and provided updates. House was left in great condition too!”

“Preston came over prior to dogsittting for a meet and greet with the dogs. We have 3 large dogs which can be a lot. She did great with them over the weekend! We would definitely book her again!”

About: I've had more than 2 dogs in my home my entire life, from 8 week old puppies to seniors. I have experience giving the dogs medicine when they need it. I work part time at a retail store, so I am never working more than 9 hours at a time, I usually only work 4-5 hours normally. I make the pets my priority when I am caring for them and I watch their behaviors so I can catch anything out of the ordinary. I follow feeding directions and potty schedules.

“She was prompt, so caring and provided lovely updates for our pups while caring for them in our home.”

Carissa D.

“Sophia did an amazing job taking care of our dogs, Prince and Caddis! Our house was spotless upon our return and our babies were so relaxed and well taken care of. Would love to have Sophia back again.”

Jess A.

“Amanda went beyond the call of duty caring for our two dogs, who are quite comfortable at home but had never been watched by a stranger for an extended period of time (18 days). Both dogs took right to Amanda. She supplied text and photo updates throughout our time away. She followed instructions to the letter and didn't hesitate to ask questions or suggest an idea if it came up. The house was spotless when we got back, and the dogs were happy. There's no question we'll seek out Amanda again if the need arises. We don't think you'll find a better sitter.”

About: I’ve worked with dogs and cats in many different ways. I have owned dogs my entire life, plus a few cats. I volunteer at the Humane Society in Kansas City while at school where I work directly with the shelter dogs. I have house sat for multiple family friends and am ready to take on new pups and cats! I am currently home from school for the summer so am looking to fill the time. I work part time as a server a few times a week. During the day I often just workout, read a book, or hang with my own dogs. I have fostered a dog before and can adjust well to your dogs needs. I’ve practiced crate training, furniture restrictions, and other small training tasks. My house has an open yard which my dogs are free to run around in when they are not on leash to go potty.

“Jadynn persevered when our frightened dog struggled in the beginning of our time away. She was kind, gentle, and understanding of Callie's timid nature.”

“Rory took great care of the dogs, other pets and the house. He communicated quickly with any questions or concerns. I would highly recommend Rory.”

Diane M.

“Jenny put up with our ridiculous Frenchies and even collected eggs from the chickens each day. The house was in the shape we left it and she communicated each day with updates. Would recommend!”

Natalie B.

“Natasha is the absolute best! Provided great care for my cats! She took time to play and keep them busy, followed my care instructions perfectly, and provided frequent updates so I could know they were doing well. Couldn’t ask for a better pet sitter!”

Katie K.

“Best sitter ever— we always book Michelle as soon as we know we have a trip because she is so great with our doggos! Not to mention, she gives great updates and always leaves our house in great shape. 10/10 would recommend.”

Morgan B.

“Kristin is an amazing pet sitter. She has a high attention to detail and will make sure your pets receive the best care possible. She will do “the dirty work” because let’s face it, animals are gross and make big messes sometimes but she will take care of it because she understands. We love Kristin and will use her services again!! Thank you Kristin!!”

Caitlin N.

“Chad was so amazing with our dog Penelope! I think she thoroughly enjoyed her stay. Chad often gave updates and photos, which made us feel at ease. We would 120% use him again!”

About: I’ve had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember—everything from energetic Labs to laid-back Basset Hounds, plus a rescue puppy that I personally helped train and grow into a well-behaved companion. That hands-on experience has taught me how to understand different temperaments, energy levels, and care needs. From basic training and leash manners to patience with shy or stubborn pups, I’ve learned that every dog is unique and deserves personalized attention. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I genuinely enjoy building trust and creating a positive, fun experience for them every time we’re together. Whether your dog needs a quick potty break, a long adventure walk, or just some extra love while you’re busy, I treat every walk like it matters—because it does. I tailor each visit to your dog’s personality, pace, and needs, making sure they feel safe, stimulated, and happy every step of the way. You’ll get regular updates, photos, and peace of mind knowing your furry friend is in caring, responsible hands. From playful pups to senior sweethearts, I’m experienced, attentive, and ready to keep tails wagging. Full time job but available in the evenings and weekends to take care of your furry friends, whether that’s a potty break or a walk on my way home from work, or hanging out all weekend! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all instructions closely—whether that’s feeding schedules, walk times, medication, or any specific habits your pet is used to. During visits, I make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and affection, not just the basics. I keep their environment clean, refresh water bowls, and make sure they’re safe and comfortable before I leave. I’m also mindful of your home, treating it with respect and keeping everything just as I found it.

About: I go the extra mile for the animals and the owners to make sure the pets are getting the best care possible. Respect is very important to me and showing respect to your animals and you is more than everything to me. I have taken care of (walked, home stay, drop-in) a variety of pets and will send updates and messages throughout our visits and time together. I love all animals but dogs have a special place in my heart ❤️. I am a high school student but get out at 11 everyday so I try and take advantage of that opportunity as it allows me to be flexible for your needs. I’m a very clean and organized pet owner! Their bowl of water is always filled and cleaned, I’ll clean up after your pets as needed, and the environment in which the pet is in will be tidy for you to come home to.

“Carolynn is very attentive and caring, especially in making sure our dogs felt comfortable with her. We really love her attention to all the details with our elderly and special needs dogs and definitely recommend her!”
