“Dependable and easy to work with! Will reach out again, thx!”

Kate W.

About: I began consistently dog sitting throughout high school starting in 2022. Since then, I’ve built strong relationships with many repeat clients who continue to trust me to care for their pets whenever they’re away. Neighbors, friends, and families rely on me to walk, feed, bathe, and provide attentive, dependable care. As an Animal Science student, I have hands-on experience working with animals, giving me a deeper understanding of animal behavior, health, and proper care. What sets me apart is my reliability, communication, and attention to detail. I treat every pet like my own and make sure their routine stays consistent and stress-free. I’m comfortable with puppies, high-energy dogs, and senior pets that need extra patience and care. I can follow feeding schedules, administer basic medications, and provide plenty of exercise, playtime, and affection. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages so you always know your pet is in good hands. I’m not working this summer, so I have a very open and flexible schedule to dedicate to pet care. I’m available Monday through Sunday for walks, drop-ins, sitting, and boarding, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. This allows me to give your pet plenty of attention, exercise, and consistent care throughout the day. I’m also flexible with last minute bookings and can easily adjust to your pet’s routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. While I don’t have a fenced yard, I make sure all outdoor time is supervised and dogs are always on a leash to ensure their safety. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and needs, and I always follow your specific instructions, including feeding schedules, medications, and routines. I provide a clean, calm, and structured environment where your pet can feel safe and relaxed. I’m experienced with dogs of different temperaments and energy levels, and I take the time to make sure they are comfortable and well cared for. Whether I’m in my home or yours, I treat every pet like my own and prioritize trust, consistency, and safety at all times.

About: I have two years of experience pet sitting small, medium and large dogs pet sitting experience with cats. During my visits, I have walked, fed, had playtime with, and have fed any medications or vitamins the owner has requested I give their pet to them. In my daily and weekly routine, I would be available for visits/walks during: Monday/Wednesday/Fri: 6-10am and/or 1-8pm Tuesday/Thursday/Saturday: available at any time Sunday: 3-8pm These times do differ for overnight stays! When caring for pets in my clients home, I always make sure to follow any instructions or specific requests the client has left for me. I also make sure the client has informed me of certain behaviors of their pet and has told me about the pets personality to ensure I watch them in a way that makes them the most comfortable to ensure a safe and fun visit!

About: Hi, I’m Hayley and I would love the opportunity to care for your pets. I’m a business student at UMKC and enjoy pet sitting/house sitting part time. I’ve always been a huge animal lover and my family and friends have relied on me to provide excellent, loving care of their pets. I have over 5 years of experience dog walking, house sitting, and pet sitting. I have experience caring for all kinds of animals including cats, all kinds of dog breeds, small animals, and reptiles. Caring for animals is my biggest passion and I can’t wait to care for your pets as my own. I work part time so I have a pretty flexible schedule and and have a lot of time to provide excellent care for your pets! Although unfortunately my landlord doesn’t allow any pets right now, I will be happy to come over and care for your pets in your home!

“I really appreciate Hannah! I needed to hire someone last minute for my 5 furbabies, and she was more than willing. I asked if she wouldn't mind if I reached out for additional days toward the end of my trip away, and though I ended up not needing to do so, she was willing to do that as well. Additionally, my senior rottweiler mix likes to "give attitude," which can be scary if you aren't familiar with it, and Hannah handled that beautifully. She was communicative when it happened, which allowed me to message her to share what to do about it (which was to let the dog throw her fit and leave her be). I'd hire her again in a heartbeat, and probably will when I take trips in the future!”

“Emily is so good with my dogs. One dog wouldn’t come out of the kennel for a couple others but loves Emily :) She helps me out when I’m at work for a long time and it brings so much peace of mind.”

About: I've been pet-sitting for neighbors for years and I love the opportunity to spend time with different pets while offering peace of mind to their owners as they travel, with the ability to stay in their own home environments and accommodate their unique needs. I have plenty of experience with both dogs and cats, and I don't have a job outside the home so I am available to provide frequent care and stay with your pets day and night. I'm currently not working outside of the house, so I have plenty of availability to provide frequent care to any pets who may benefit from it. I don't care for pets in my own home, so there's no need to worry about any outside factors or unfamiliar situations for your pets. I will carefully follow your instructions to keep your pets happy and safe and your home in good condition, while making sure to respect your privacy and property at all times.

About: We are an active family with two youth athletes that love to keep dogs active or snuggle on the couch. We have a large yard with a 5-foot privacy fence as well as plenty of room to spoil your pup indoors. We are experienced with foster and rescue dogs of all shapes and sizes. We rescued our first two fur-babies over 16 years ago. They lived long, healthy lives for 15 and 16 years, respectively. Once they crossed the rainbow bridge, we began fostering dogs in our home. We have fostered 3-week-old bottle-fed puppies, geriatric, medical cases, giant, excited, calm, small and everything in between. We now have two large breed rescues that joined our family in 2021. They are friendly, happy and kennel trained dogs that get along great with other canine friends! I work a hybrid schedule which means I work from home during the day Monday and Friday and we are both home during the weekends. During the summer, our kids (12 and 16yo) are both home (when they aren't at sports practices) and love to help! We kennel the dogs while we are away (usually attending a sport activity) but never longer than 4 hours at a time. We have a large yard that has a 5-foot privacy fence. The dogs have plenty of room to run and play! Our home has plenty of space on the main level as well as a finished basement. We kennel either in our spare bedroom or the garage, wherever the dogs are most comfortable.

About: I grew up with dogs and all of my kids have dogs, so not only am I a grandpa, I was a dog grandpa first! I also sit and love cats. They always find me. Had four dogs in my house for many times watching when my kids traveled, but now they moved so I have more time to get my fur feed. I take walks and would love to walk your pups but also can follow your guidelines doing the best to keep their routine. I work from home but occasionally have appointments outside of the home, so I am very available to work with your schedule. I will share my schedule with you when booking. I have a fenced yard and a great neighborhood for walking. Friendly home environment with access to fresh food/water and sunshine. Your dog/cat will be well-loved.

“Brittany was the best sitter we ever had , especially with our 15 year old dog!!”

About: I grew up with dogs, so once I graduated college, I started dog sitting as a way to get my fix in. In the past several years, I've worked with cocker spaniels, pugs, golden retrievers, border collies, pit bulls, Austrialian cattle dogs, and mutts :) I have experience working with multiple dogs at the same time, as well as dog and people aggressive dogs. I have a house with lots of space for playing, and a fenced in yard so friends can run around my backyard. I am currently not working, so I am very flexible on my availability! My daughter is in part-time daycare and is home on Tuesdays and Thursdays, so I am free virtually all day Monday/Wednesday/Friday! I have had Rover sitters watch my pet before, so I know how important it is to be respectful of someone else's space. I'll make it a priority to leave your home as I found it!

“Jessica was great! Upon booking she really made us feel like our pups were in great hands by communicating with us and even sending pictures. We will be booking with her again ☺️”

About: I love dogs and cats like they are my best friends because they are the most loving, loyal creatures I’ve ever met on this planet! They make me so happy always! I have an hour lunch during the week and weekends are usually free! If I commit to watching a dog/cat for several days in a row whether checking in or staying at their home, I make sure they are well taken care of cuz that’s really all that matters. They get all my love and attention! I have a pet friendly house but much rather take care of them at their own home as it’s likely more familiar/comfortable for them and convenient for the pet’s owner.

“She's been absolutely wonderful with my girls. Would recommend”

About: My extensive experience in pet care has equipped me with a diverse set of skills, and a wealth of knowledge that are essential for providing exceptional service as a pet sitter. Over the years I have successfully cared for a wide variety of animals, ranging from dogs and cats to rabbits, birds, and reptiles this experience has not only deep in my understanding of different species, but has also stretched my ability to cater to their specific needs and preferences. I prioritize the well-being of each pair in my care by ensuring they receive attentive feeding, regular exercise, and amble companionship I understand that each animal has its own personality and routine, and I take the time to learn and adapt to these individual characteristics. Whether it’s a hyper dog that requires daily walks in playtime or a shy cat that refers quiet companionship. I am committed to creating a safe and nurturing environment that fosters trust and comfort. My dedication to understanding each pet unique needs extends beyond their daily routines. I actively engage with them, observing their behavior, and mood to ensure that they are happy and healthy. This personalized approach not only enhances their overall experience, but also helps alleviate any anxiety that they may feel in the absence of their owners. In addition to my hands on experience, I am well prepared to handle emergencies that may arise during my time as a pet sitter I have undergone training and basic pet first aid, and CPR, which enables me to respond to actively to any unexpected situation whether it’s a minor injury or sudden illness, my ability to administer the basic medical care, and make informed decision under pressure further, demonstrates my reliability and dedication to the pets that I care for.
