About: I had a cat growing up but the last 5 years I have had two large, fluffy mainecoon cats that’s are my whole word but at every high maintenance! I would be able to check on dogs and cats after early in the morning it or after work ends for me around 4:00. I have most Friday’s off so I have flexible, long weekends! My own animals are not outdoor cats but we have collars with trackers in case they ever run outside! But luckily they never have 😄 We are very careful about not leaving food out that’s toxic for them to eat like chocolate 🍫

About: Healthcare provider and lover of dogs with over 5 years of experience with dog sitting and dog walking for friends and family at the University of Michigan (go blue)! Excited to bring my services to my hometown. I currently work full-time but am available on early mornings or after 5p on weekdays and most weekends!

About: Hello everyone, I recently graduated from the University of Michigan school of Dentistry and just began my residency here in Kansas City. As a double Wolverine, Go Blue!! Growing up I had a German Shephard and have two Yorkies although they currently live with my parents. I miss them every day so I am looking to direct my love and care towards your lucky dog(s)! I have dog sat for friends and family before and work regularly for Wag maintaining a 5-star rating. I have had plenty of people tell me I am very good with dogs, which inspired me to get involved with providing these sort of services for local dog owners. I am a fairly athletic individual so I enjoy playful dogs and am willing to put in the work to make sure they get the exercise they need. Additionally, I love making sure all dogs receive sufficient affection to aid their emotional development. Our furry friends positively contribute to uplifting our mental health, so I believe they deserve to be held in such importance and treated with respect. Sincerely, Torrey My residency will keep me busy 9-5 every day. I have no problem staying at your residence, having done many house sittings throughout my care career. I typically let my pupper visitors sleep or hang out wherever I am as long as they do no shed profusely and it aligns with their home experience.
