“Emily took amazing care of our darling, and needy ;) cat Nikka. She went above and beyond to make sure Nikka had the necessities each day and that included serious and extended cuddles. This was our first time using Rover and I’m so glad that Emily took such great care of our girl. We highly recommend.”

I have some vet experiences with family . my own dogs love to run and play so no worries if your pet likes to play rough or tug o war . also I have birthed 4 litters of puppies and can watch and take care of pregnancies as well .also we have security cameras. We also understand that many dogs and puppies have special needs specific diets our home is not a place of stress . we understand that it can be a stressful situation leaving a family member with a person not well known . I am guilty of being afraid of even letting someone watch my own for even a few minutes. We hope to make these anxieties less promenant in pet owners daily activities. At all times we have someone on site to monitor our pets activities, and attention. By having added security to my home with cameras and comforts for each pet we have created an ideal spot throughout our home. Our environment is easily controlled by our floor plan allowing for ample space for lounging but in a secured environment. Improvements are also on the way as we are adapting our home to better suit each pets needs.


5. Nadia W.

“We asked Nadia to just come in to medicate one of our cats, and she was super thorough and communicative. We really appreciated her efforts to make the visit stress-free and bond with both of our cats, despite the unpleasantness of oral medication for our senior.”


6. Nathalia F.

“Nathalia visited Ziggy for his first ever drop-in without me home since I got him earlier this year. He loved his time with her, and she took plenty of photos. I also had some significant instructions for her first time here without me, so she was good with being communicative and asking questions where necessary.”


7. Jordyn B.
About: I got a puppy for my son back my May of this year (2023) and we have had so much fun with her! Rather than getting our puppy a puppy to play with we thought we would try out dog sitting as a way to get some more fun furry friends in the house! We take our golden doodle on a walk every day for about 20-30 minutes. She has free access to the backyard whenever she wants through the doggy door. My 5 year old plays with her both inside and outside depending on the weather. Charlee goes to the groomers about every 8 weeks for her spa day. I will treat your fur baby just as I treat mine! All the snuggles, play, and love they deserve! My son will also provide more than enough to wear them out I promise that haha


8. Megan S.

12. Brent D.
About: I've cared for my pets and those of my friends for years, and I've learned that the most important thing is always to meet our furry friends on their terms. Some pets become your friend instantly, others take some time but eventually warm up, and some remain aloof. No matter what your pet(s) are like, I provide the absolute best care I can while working with their individual personalities. I've cared for single and multiple dogs and cats and mixes of both, of all breeds, sizes, and ages. I'm experienced with feeding, walking, playing, medicating, and even a bit of canine obedience and agility training! I'm a responsible, reliable adult who will follow YOUR instructions when caring for your furry family members. I'm a self-employed retiree with a flexible schedule, and am available most days, nights, weekends, and holidays for either drop-in visits or overnight stays on a short or long-term basis. Our pets are happiest when their regular routines are kept as uninterrupted as possible. I follow the rules and schedules you set, including feeding schedules, walks,activities, play time, medications, bed times, etc. to make sure they are as happy and stress-free as possible.


13. Savannah N.
About: I have experience potty training puppies and am able of comfortable with giving any daily medications! I have 4 dogs of my own, two raised from puppies and the other two rescued so I am familiar with dogs from different backgrounds. I am a college student at Washburn University, so Mondays and Wednesdays are my busiest days because of that. I am most available during weekends and Tuesdays and Thursdays but I have no problem with Fridays if needed. I will follow all instructions provided by the client regarding feeding schedules, exercise routines, medication administration, and any special care requirements. I understand how important routine is for pets, so I stick closely to their regular schedules to minimize stress and keep them comfortable.

16. Blu H.
“Blu is kind and loving with animals. He was a wonderful help with my Max (an Australian shepherd from puppyhood to seniorhood. As a dog owner of a variety of dogs over the years, as well as being friends with many dog owners, Blu is well aware of the needs of dogs of all ages and sizes. If you are looking for someone to lovingly care for your dog, then Blu is the right guy for the job. I have no qualms whatsoever of handing over the key to my house so he can access it as needed as I know that I can trust Blu wholeheartedly.”
