About: I’ve been around pets ever since I can remember and have always had at least 1 dog if not 2. I find genuine joy in spending time with animals and would love nothing more than to spoil your babies like my own! I work your normal M-F 8-5 so through the week I could do early morning and evening visits. On the weekends I can do sporadic visits through the day. I haven’t met a dog I don’t love. I will treat them as if they’re my own and make sure they get plenty of loves and mental stimulation!

About: ​Hi, I’m Danielle! Whether your pet is a high-energy athlete or a professional couch potato, they’ll find a perfect match in me. With experience ranging from the playfulness of kittens and puppies to the gentle, specific needs of senior pets, I pride myself on providing nurturing care tailored to your pet's unique personality. I’m highly organized and detail-oriented, ensuring that feeding schedules, medications, and house rules are followed to the letter. Most importantly, I treat every pet with integrity and love, giving you total peace of mind while you're away. I have a very flexible job, so pet care is easily worked into my schedule. I enjoy staying busy and spending time with pets, so its a win-win situation! I put a huge emphasis on making sure that pets are comfortable with me. I get to know their unique personalities and individually care for them based on their needs. As a pet parent myself, safety is my top priority, and I pay great attention to detail specifically in that matter.

About: I truly believe pets become very lonely when left at home. Animals need fresh air and lots of love and play time. I currently have two very loving, playful 2 year old Bichons, and I love them dearly. I would be overjoyed to get paid for playing/walking/tending to your pet while you are away (: thank you so much for considering me! I’m currently working part-time on, but I have a free and flexible schedule for your pet needs on Thursdays and Fridays, along with the weekends. I can be as flexible as needed because I know every pet differs. I have two fur babies at home and will soon have a fence. I am able to crate your animal at night if I’m providing pet sitter services, and I’m also able to provide updates as frequently as you would like. I love to be active and be outside, so walks are no problem either.

About: I have had pets my whole life up! I'm a full time stay at home mom with 3 kiddos (2 in school and 1 not in school cause shes a baby!) I am looking to earn a little pocket change while hopefully helping someone out with their fur babies. Most times I will have to come with my baby in her carrier for now, but certain times I may be able to work around that, so please dont hesitate to ask! I am willing to travel as far as Kansas City/Overland Park, Pittsburg, and Joplin/Springfield, or basically within an hour and half for house sitting. As a mom I am not able to stay in your home for house sitting, I could consider pet care inside my home on a case-by-case basis. For daily walks, we will have to agree on a price if its farther than Nevada, El Dorado Springs. I live on a few acres with cats, a dog, chickens, and ducks. I have experience with a lot of different types of animals as well including fish and smaller caged critters. I have experience working with service dogs as well. If you have any questions, please reach out! Im super flexible and would love to be able to help you any way that I can. I am a stay at home mom with 2 of 3 kiddos in school. My schedule is very open. Whatever work you're needing with your animals, please reach out. Animal care in my home will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Animal care in your home will be as requested by you. I typically could not do overnight care as I've got kiddos in school and will most likely have to travel a bit to help you with your animals, but on weekends or breaks I can consider it.

“We ALWAYS use Elizabeth to watch our animals and we are always impressed! She does a great job.”

About: Hi! I’m Mikaila, and animals have always been a huge part of my life. I have over 10 years of hands-on experience working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments, including reactive, anxious, and high-energy dogs. In addition to pet sitting, I am also a professional dog trainer, so I bring a deeper understanding of behavior, structure, and safety into every visit. Whether your dog needs a simple potty break, a walk, or just some extra attention while you’re away, I make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and secure. I have experience with feeding routines, administering medications, handling multiple dogs, and maintaining a calm, structured environment. I’m also very comfortable with dogs that may be nervous, excitable, or require a little extra patience. You can expect clear communication, updates, and photos during every visit so you always know how your pet is doing. I treat every pet like my own and always prioritize their safety, well-being, and happiness. I have a flexible schedule Tuesday through Saturday and am available for morning, afternoon, and some evening visits. I do work with private dog training clients, but my schedule is adjustable and I’m able to plan visits around them. I’m unavailable Sundays and Mondays, but I’m reliable and consistent during my available days. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. With my background in dog training, I’m very aware of body language, behavior, and how to handle dogs safely in different situations. I follow all instructions closely, maintain routines, and create a calm, structured environment during visits. I’m experienced with dogs of all temperaments, including nervous, reactive, or high-energy dogs, and I always prioritize safe handling, secure leashing, and awareness of surroundings.
