About: I've been surrounded by the loving presence of dogs and cats my entire life. This lifelong experience has given me a deep understanding of their needs and behaviors. I'm comfortable with all stages of pet life, from playful puppies to gentle seniors. I work from 6pm to 2 am so my days and afternoons are very flexible and free, perfect if you need me to take care of your pet while you are working. I taker care of them, play with them, make sure they eat and drink water when they need to, and make sure they are having a good time, always.

We were so happy with Maddie! She took amazing care of Onyx our black lab and Nia our cat while we were away, sending daily updates with pictures and letting us know how they were doing. Onyx and Nia seemed completely relaxed and happy when we got back, which is the best indication of how well they were treated. Maddie is clearly passionate about animals and we felt completely confident leaving our furry family member in her hands. We will definitely be booking them again for our next trip!

Madeline came to my rescue when I urgently needed a sitter for the weekend. She was incredibly kind, flexible, communicative and regularly sent pics to demonstrate the happiness and well-being of my dog. I wouldn’t hesitate to hire her again!

About: I am a former veterinary assistant who has 20 years of experience caring for animals of every kind: from large and small dogs, cats, and exotics. I am an expert in rodent care, specifically mice and rats, but also have lots of experience with dogs and cats of all ages. I have cared for young puppies and kittens as well as senior animals, and am proficient with administering oral and injectable medications, as well as doing glucose monitoring for diabetic animals. I work full time during the week, but I am typically free in the mornings from 8 am to 11 am. I work the evening shift at Methodist Health Fremont and am typically done by 8:30pm. Weekend work days are rare as our weekend coverage works on a rotating basis, I will inform clients if weekend work is expected during a booking. I will always change clothes before visiting client pets in order to do as much as possible to prevent communicable diseases due to the volume of animals I work with. I am also trained in dog and cat pet CPR.

About: I have cared for many kinds of animals over the last 30 years. I would treat them as if they were my own with love. I would like to negotiate your needs, my shifts right now, are 8am-4pm in Lawrence Kansas. Depending on services being requested, I may be able to adjust my scedule. I live with my brother and sister in law, we are a 3 dog home. Dogs are very friendly with all types of other dogs. Lots of land for dogs to run. They must be well trained to be here and or walk well on a leash, there is No fenced in areas. I love to go for walks and play. Also I will research your animal and provide appropriate cares and love.

About: Having a dog of my own since I was 7 years old, I have a lot of experience potty training puppies, clean up after them, and overall taking care of them to make sure their needs are adequately met. Similarly, I have also had a pet cat in the past and am well-versed in taking care of the litter box and potty training. Not only that, but I’ve taken care of friends and family’s pets, both cats and dogs, for a total of 2 years in the past. I love animals and would be honored to have the chance to hang out with your fur baby and spoil it with love and affection! I currently work an 8-5 job from Monday-Friday during weekdays. However, I have open availability on the weekends (Saturday and Sunday) where I can devote all my time and energy to properly caring for your pet and give them the care they deserve! I care for pets by addressing all their needs and being consistent and attentive. I check to see if they need go potty every hour-2 hours, make sure their water containers are always filled in case they are thirsty at any time of the day/night, and make sure to closely follow their specific feeding schedule and routines. Similarly, I ensure to give them undivided attention while they are in my care, so they don’t feel like they need to do anything to gain my attention. I build rapport with pets by engaging in their favorite activities with their preferred toys and provide consistent positive reinforcement.

About: Growing up on a farm I always had outside dogs like German shepherds and huskies until I convinced my parents to let me have an indoor one. That first little buddy is a morkie poo and at 8 years old is a whopping 6 pounds and a grumpy little guy. He got a friend 7 years ago, a maltipoo, who is extremely anxious and scared of most things. They both got a big sister, a mini Goldendoodle, who was trained as a service animal for deep pressure therapy. All their personalities couldn't be different from one another. I'm an aunt to a Maltipoo poo and 2 Morkies. I recently became a true dog mom this summer by my sweet mini bernedoodle, Olive. My experiences range from grumpy and smaller than a shoe, to big wild, and free. I am a full-time graduate student in a fully online master's program. I would love the opportunity to not only get out of the house and have my dog socialize with others when appropriate but to also see all the good boys and girls and take them for a stroll. I treat all puppers and doggos with the same love and care that I do my own. I do cater my behavior to complement that of a dog's personality. Giving extra love and time to anxious or senior dogs while offering energy and playfulness to the more confident ones.

Sara is great with animals and is super attentive and caring towards them. My dog Gypsy is a super sensitive and easily offended lab but that didn't stop Sara from friending her when we became friends in 2017. She would calmly call to her earning her trust and when my dog let her guard down they became best friends. I trust Sara with my dogs needs when I have to be out of town for a few days. She is a perfect fit to have your animal in her care!
