“This was my first time using Rover and Mya made the experience amazing! I will definitely be using her again. My dog is very shy and not good with strangers but Mya took her time to be patient and calming. My dog started warming up to her very fast and I belive dogs have a good judge of character ;)”

About: I'm retired, so I'm available most of the time. I have worked with two different German Shepherd Rescues as a foster mom. I also volunteer at the local regional animal shelter. I have helped train many dogs over the years. I also have quite a bit of cat experience, as well as birds, fish (both salt and freshwater tanks) and reptiles, I enjoy cats, and find that they are all very unique. I enjoy being a pet sitter, providing safety and love for them while their parents are away. I offer FREE MEET & GREETS! (A Meet & Greet is necessary for the first visit, no exceptions). Also, I need 3 days advance notice in order to consider your pet for boarding. I have many reviews in my profile from past sitting jobs. Thanks I am retired and available as noted on my calendar. I make every attempt to feed dogs and cats at the same time as the owners. I find that keeping pets on a schedule helps them to feel safe and comfortable when their owners are away. My dog, Sky, is AKC "Star Puppy" and "Advanced Obedience" trained. I have a strong skill set for helping anxious dogs. I understand how to keep a pet engaged, both in general play and affection.

“Jacki is the best cat sitter anyone can ask for. She takes very good care of cats and she always gives plenty of pictures and lets you know how everything went.”

“Maggie has been excellent with Oliver. She even checked to make sure he was up to date on his tick prevention as some of the grass is tall. One walk after it had rained she dried him off prior to the end of her visit. I would definitely recommend her for all your fur babies!!!”

Cyndi W.

“Katie did a great job with our two cats. She was on time, provided outstanding care & feeding, & gave us daily pictures of them. We couldn’t be happier. Definitely recommend her for drop-in care of pets.”

David V.

“Kat is amazing. Cares for your pets and ensures you know every little thing she notices out of the ordinary for your pet. Would definitely recommend her.”

Adam F.

“Maddie was outstanding with my two cats. In the past I have kenneled them locally, and they have not done well. They would not eat, and were very stressed out due to the change in environment. Both cats are generally introverts, but they did come out and interact with Maddie when she made her visits. She also sent pictures and reported on how they were eating Will definitely utilize Maddie again when I travel! I would highly recommend Maddie!”

About: I’ve been known through my family and friends as a “dog whisperer”, and have had dogs in my care all my life! I’ve owned and taken care of my own senior dog for years, and am currently working with my new puppy. I have detailed experience with elderly dogs and dogs with medical needs. I can administer medications involving needles, and fulfill special food requests. Currently, I am a university student and I have a small part time job. However, I miss working with animals and my class schedule tends to be very flexible! In caring for a pet at your home, I treat it as if it was my own. I always emphasize to follow directions perfectly, and to treat your things with respect.

“Amy is great.. she did everything i asked and more..”

About: Hi there! I’m Anna, a lifelong animal lover and experienced sitter who knows how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member. Whether your pup loves long walks, belly rubs, or just cozy naps, I make sure they get all the care, play, and affection they deserve. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities—from energetic puppies to senior sweethearts—and I always tailor my care to each dog’s unique needs. Safety, consistency, and communication are my top priorities, so you’ll always know how your pup is doing with plenty of photo updates and messages. Let’s make sure your dog feels right at home while you’re away! I do currently work full time but spend evenings and weekends at home. They will get plenty of love and affection while in our home. We have two huge dog toy bins for those who love toys! All animals will be treated like they are my own! We have a 6 foot wooden privacy fence with an huge back yard and an extra kennel if needed.

About: I have a wide range of experience with dogs, cats, reptiles and small animals. I have owned cats, dogs, mice, rats, geckos, birds, fish, ferrets and rabbits. I currently have several cats of my own and they are treated like they are my kids. I have alot of experience with feral cats and cats with behavioral issues. I have a cat who is diabetic so I have experience in giving insulin shots. I also have experience with and own both FIV+ and FeLV+ cats. I have experience in medicating cats as well, as I have several on medication in my home. I work overnights Sunday through Thursday. I have my own cats and a few fosters, we have a set routine with breakfast and medications when I get home. In the evenings is playtime, social and cuddle time. Then before I go to work at night, they are all tucked in with a special treat before I leave. I like to stick to routine with my cats, it helps them feel safe and makes everything run smoother in a multi pet home. I am available in the evenings to help with your pet(s) Sunday through Thursday and on Fridays and Saturdays I have a very flexible schedule and can work with almost any times of the day/evening/afternoons. I also am available during holidays. I assure you your pet is safe in my hands. I do alot of work behind the scenes with friends in rescue and have alot of hands on experience with handling and caring for animals safely. My home environment is safe and clean. I am trust-worthy and kind, and I love all living things. I have to pass background checks for the type of work I do, so I have a clean background. I may be able to board cats on occasion under certain circumstances. If it is short term boarding, I have a nice sized bathroom that they could have the freedom of staying in there with me. I have leukemia positive cats in my home so this would keep them safely in their own area without exposure to my cats. They would have their own clean litter box and food bowls and lots of toys/and amenities will staying in the "Paula's luxury bathroom suite"!

About: While I don't have formal experience, I've spent my whole life taking care of pets at home. I've even raised our current pups from puppies to adulthood, handling everything from feeding to playtime. My goal is to treat every pet like part of the family. I'm currently a college student down in Springfield, but whenever I'm back in town for breaks or summer, I will have a fairly flexible schedule! I'm available on the weekends, evenings, and soon to be during the weekdays as well! Every pet deserves the family treatment! I'm careful to follow their set routines and rules - whether it's playtime, feeding, or crate time. Your pet's safety always comes first!

About: I’ve had dogs since I was young. As well as taking care of many of my neighbors/ relatives animals. I have also taken care of dogs and cats young and old and I am volunteering at KC Pet Project. I’m currently a college student home for the summer and will have a part time job. I would be excited to take care of your pets in between! I feed, bathe, brush, and exercise my own dog and have since I was young. For the neighbors pets I have cleaned up and ensured they had the proper amount of food and water and giving them enrichment.

“Gabby did great with Tess. She arrived on time. She sent pictures and a status update of what they did. We were pleased and we'll use Gabby again.”

“Madison did great with my dog! She’s super responsive and my dog loved her. She sent multiple photos during the check-in and let me know of a minor concern she had!”

“Jessica is wonderful with our active kitty. She plays with him to get some of that energy out. She gives him the loving that he needs while we are away. She does everything you ask her to do. I definitely recommend Jessica.”

About: As a proud pet owner and animal lover of almost 20 years, I will treat and care for your pets as if they were my own. I have grown up around all different sorts of animals my entire life, and I feel as though it's time to invest all of that experience and time into other pets. I am capable of feeding, house sitting, dog and cat sitting, dog walking, and understanding pet queues. I am very enthusiastic, sensitive, calm, and reliable. I take pride in being trustworthy and loving when it comes to your four-legged family members. I am able to understand that each pet is unique. So, to compensate for that, I am able to adapt to exactly what your pets need and want. I work full time, but that doesn’t stop me from being the best that I can be for your furry friends! I get just as excited as they do to see them every day! I always strive to be loving and caring towards pets. I view them as true members to any family! In my home, our dogs are allowed on couches and to lay in the bed! I also make sure to not overstep - it’s the pets (and yours) home first!
