“Nadia was friendly, responsive and very helpful. She loves animals and goes out of her way to make your pets happy and comfortable during visits. Her communication when setting up visits and after each visit was great!”



“Hi guys. I feel like you all did a great job. You took O' Malley for 10 days and let him do his thing and be comfortable in his own way. Thank you! The only thing I would have liked more of is communication. Both times I had to reach out to you for check ins. Good luck with your pet sitting!!!”


About: I’ve had cats and dogs while growing up and always had to take care of them! My neighbors always could count on me to help take care of their pets! I am able to walk, feed, bathe and with direction of course I can give your pets medicine if needed! I am in Manhattan/Topeka and I am available! I’m flexible with hours and besides working out every other day for an hour I will be available at any time! At my clients home I will not only be taking care of your pets and giving them love I can also keep the place clean and keep plants watered. At my last pet sitting job I took the dog (115 pounds) on daily walks and was able to cuddle and play with both the dog and the cat! I also stayed the night at the last gig because the dog had separation anxiety. I work well with any animals!

About: I have been a professional trainer, handler and groomer for over a decade, providing excellent care for dogs, cats and other pets of all ages, sizes and care needs. I am also available for livestock care, with over two decades of experience with horses, cattle and most other hoofstock and flocks. I offer these services full time, so no need to worry about another job conflicting with your pet’s needs while in my care. I am able to devote my schedule to them. For my in home services, I have a yard that is set up with individual fenced areas, as well as having 4.5 acres that will soon be fully fenced in! For those bigger dogs who want to be able to run and stretch their legs more.I have two of my own dogs as well, as company for those who would enjoy a playmate. We do crate all guests for bedtime and meals. This ensures everyone can eat at their own pace, and in a safe environment. Same for bedtime. While we understand that your pet may sleep loose at home, we typically have guests from multiple households. Safety is our #1 priority and we don’t want to risk an issue overnight.

About: I’ve spent the past year and a half immersed in the world of dog training, where I gained hands-on experience and a deep appreciation for the power of positive reinforcement.

About: I've been blessed to help care for pets of all kinds since I was little moving around and many relatives work in pet care so I've learned there is no animal too difficult.

I volunteer at the Topeka Rescue Mission and Loud Light's community action team in my free time. I can ensure availability on Tuesday, Thur-Sun, but it never hurts to reach out for help on Wed and Mon because I can often make it work. With my experience in house sitting I have never had a negative encounter. Not only have my clients been incredibly kind, they have also been very helpful and communicated perfectly what I need to do to care best. I am a very tidy individual but my best quality that my compassion is boundless. I am happy to take on any responsibility while an individual's pet is under my care.

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
