About: I have always loved being around animals, but due to my living circumstances and travel activities, owning a pet has become complicated. After retiring in 2022, I stumbled upon pet/house sitting as a means to satisfy my travel urge and my desire to be around animals. In the three years I have been house sitting, I have cared for dozens of family pets in cities all around the US. I have a part time job working a few hours just a couple of mornings a week at a YMCA. However, I have plenty of room in my schedule when I am not traveling. Rover makes it possible for me to satisfy the urge for animal companionship when I am in KC. I do not have the space or circumstances to allow me to care for other people's pets in my home. However, I am willing to travel to your home to care for your pet when you cannot do so yourself. If you need to be gone overnight, I am willing to come and offer your pet the companionship they need to feel comfortable and safe. Similarly, I am happy to do drop-ins to let them out, feed them, take them for walks, clean their litter boxes, etc. As mentioned, I have been actively involved in pet sitting on TrustedHouseSitters for the past three years and have many 5-star reviews for my efforts.
“Michaela boarded my brand new little kitten and was able to make sure kitty got all the care and attention she needed. She sent plenty of updates and had great communication. Will definitely reach out again when I need a sitter.”
“Alexandra was very kind and caring for our beloved cat. She seems to have a deep understanding of felines and was able to meet our cat's needs while keeping us updated on a daily basis with beautiful photos and a comment or two about how she was doing. It was such a relief to know our kitty was in such capable and caring hands.”
“Oh my goodness simply the best!!!! Hands down!!! Her and her partner are so loving and caring. They went above and beyond to make my cats feel like at home. Totally recommend ?”

His attention to detail, calm demeanor, and strong work ethic make him stand out in any role. While Pete hasn’t watched my own pets, I would absolutely trust him to do so. He approaches every responsibility with care and dedication, and I’ve seen firsthand how seriously he takes the wellbeing of those he’s entrusted with—qualities that translate perfectly to pet sitting. If you're looking for someone reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring, I highly recommend Pete for your pet-sitting needs.”
