“Thank you soo much Erin for checking in on my Jenni-Girl! Erin is very flexible with time and she is very friendly. Also, she sent me pictures after each visit which made me feel soo much better.”
“Here’s a warm, Rio was absolutely wonderful! She took the time to come over and meet me and my cat before the booking. During each visit, she provided detailed notes that showed how well she cared for my kitty. It was clear she took her time and genuinely cared. I felt completely at ease knowing my cat was in great hands. I highly recommend Rio and will definitely be booking with her again!”
About: I have a 4. year old dog, Kane who doesn’t know a stranger. Human or dog alike. I spent a year assisting in the training of K9, schutzhund, and over all protection/ obedience. I’ve grown up with dogs of all sorts and absolutely love them. I spent a lot of time volunteering at the local animal shelters in Kansas City, where I am originally from, so I am good with dogs behaviors and what to do and not to do’s. I can take your dog on a run, or pop in and give him his food and play for a bit. Or even stay over night if your pup is uncomfortable in new surroundings and needs to be in his home space! I’d love to care for your dog! I work hybrid and when I am in the office I don’t have issues stepping out to take walks and when I’m working from home I take several breaks to go on walks or the park. I stay super active and make sure my dog and any dog I care for has lots of enrichment and stimulation! I make sure that I’m always in a safe environment and make the dogs feel comfortable.
“Sierra was fantastic! She provided excellent communication throughout and truly went above and beyond in caring for our dog. It was clear how much she genuinely cares, and we felt completely at ease knowing our pup was in such great hands. We’ll definitely be booking with her again in the future!”
About: As a lifelong animal lover and proud dog owner, I know just how much your furry friend means to you. With years of experience caring for my own pup, I understand the importance of exercise, attention, and love in keeping dogs happy and healthy. Whether it’s a long walk, a quick potty break, or some extra playtime, I’ll treat your dog like they’re my own—because to me, every wagging tail deserves the best care. I work from home, so I’m available 24/7, seven days a week to provide attentive and loving care for your furry friends. Whether it’s a midday walk, feeding, or just some company, I’m here whenever your pet needs me. If you choose me to pet sit in your home, I’ll treat your furry friend and your space with the utmost respect and care. I’ll follow your pet’s routine closely—feeding, walking, playtime, and any special needs—to keep them comfortable and happy while you’re away. I’m careful and responsible, making sure your home stays clean and secure, and I’ll handle your belongings as if they were my own. You can trust me to provide loving, reliable care that gives you peace of mind.
“Tristan has house/dog sat for us many times. She is amazing. She always shows up on time and does all the mouse care and pet care. Feeding , walking and medications. She sends pictures all the time and is a great communicator. Our dog Takoda loves her too. The house is always left the way we left it. We love to have her in our home.”
“Very helpful and knowledgeable. She took care of our kitties for three days while we were gone. You could tell that they were very comfortable with her and that she enjoys going what she is asked to do. My wife left a detailed list with pictures and everything on how to take care our babies and it was followed to a T. Thank you for everything.”

About: I’ve been loving and taking care of animals all my life. I’ve loved them since I was a baby. I try to save every stray! I’m retired and looking for something to do that brings me joy and this is it. I’m available anytime during the day and the evening I will be caring for pets in other peoples homes but I have a fenced yard for my babies but monitor their time in the heat and cold.
About: I've grown up with animals my whole life, so being at school and away from pets has been a struggle. Any time I get to spend with dogs makes me happy! Until May 16, 2025 I am available at all times of the day to take care of your animals. Please let me know if you need my assistance! I keep a close eye on any animal I am watching. This includes walks, sitting at homes, and any transportation you may need for your animal.
About: I have loved animals since forever. I cannot recall a time in my adult life that I did not have a furry friend. I have a long history of animal rescue transportation and some fostering in-between transportation runs. I have been house sitting and dog watching for friends and family for several years and truly enjoy it! Unfortunately, I recently lost my sweet Lucy at the age of 14. (She is the first picture with her blue stuffie ☺️) She fought the good fight! However CHF, an enlarged heart and heavy seizure activity became too much for her aging body and the good lord came calling to help her cross on over the rainbow bridge where she can roam and run pain free again. So, I decided to offer my love of animals to others' companions instead of adopting again and went to work part time for the veterinarian that walked the walk with us. The love of an animal is unconditional and healing and within that, there is peace 💛 I currently work for a vet clinic and also as a massage therapist with full control of my schedule therefore have the ability to adjust my days as needed. I pride myself in working hard to keep your pets schedule as close to their normal routine as possible. I feel consistency is important for them when their humans are absent.

I have experience with dogs of all ages and activity levels. I enjoy spending time outside going on walks, to the dog park and to the pet store! I’m currently working full time as Physical Therapy Assistant at a local nursing home, my hours are very flexible so I have plenty of extra time to love on your fur babies! I have a large fenced in yard, with 4 friendly pups that love to make friends! If your fur baby would like more privacy away from the others, I can gladly crate and separate as needed!

“Prudence has always been very kind to our pets. She takes them out on walks and feeds them. Let them outside to go potty. She gives them treats and it’s just overall very kind to them.”
Danyelle S.
“Danyelle is a very responsible individual whom I would trust with any pet! Her empathetic and selfless heart shine through especially when working with animals. Personally, seeing her with my own cats is so heartwarming. When she first met my rescue kitten, Simon, he warmed up to her immediately despite his lack of affection towards me. I’ve never seen a cat more well-loved than her cat Gunther, and the bond she’s been able to grow with her is so touching. She is so passionate about kindness towards every living being- not just animals, but in the people she interacts with day to day as well”
