“This was there first time we have booked Sky and we are very pleased! We felt comfortable with her from the first meeting. She was great not only with our old and very spoiled dog but also with our cockatiel. We will definitely book with her again”

“Raelee was incredible with Ollie. Early the first day he was cuddled up next to her and he normally doesn't like other people in his house. I got lots of pictures that showed how happy he was. When we got back, you couldn't even tell someone else had been here. I will definitely use her again!”

“Olivia was absolutely fantastic while we were on a family vacation! She took care of Stevie and loved her as her own while we were gone. She also took great care of our house and left it cleaner than when we left for vacation. We will absolutely book services again with Olivia and highly recommend her.”

“Abby was fabulous she gave our dogs extra special care and she did a wonderful job taking care of them. We look forward to having Abby watch our furry friends again almost as much as they do. 10 stars”

About: Since I was born I have been involved with animals. We’ve had birds, dogs, cats, reptiles, fish, and wildlife. I’ve taken care of some of the coolest animals and it’s a huge passion of mine! I’m currently working as a vet tech at a non profit vet clinic/animal rescue so working with animals is a huge passion of mine. I’m starting school in the fall to get my prerequisites done and then hopefully onto vet school! I love my pets so I will love yours just as much and treat them as my own. I’ve been around animals since I was born and am always trying to rescue/help some kind of animal!
“Lilia was amazing with our rescue pup, Berkley! She is super calm and kind - we could tell our Berkley already felt comfortable around her the first time she met her! She sent us many photos throughout the weekend. She was very communicative and professional. We would recommend her to any friend or family member!”

About: Highly experienced in puppy and dog training including potty training, leash walking, recall, and other basic commands. Also experienced in cat and bird care. I have a 3 year old high energy dog that I love taking for hikes and bike rides. I’ve completed multiple series of puppy and dog training courses. This is my full-time passion! I have a ton of flexibility to attend to your furry (and non-furry) friends! If you’d like to request times outside of my typical days/hours, please message me. I will gladly rearrange my schedule if possible. I have a fully fenced yard as well as a loving and friendly dog to keep your pets company. I’m happy to crate your pets if you’d like. I stay updated on the location of local pet hospitals and have a very safe ranch style home with no stairs.
About: I treat every dog like family—not just a job. I learn their quirks, their favorite toys, and what makes their tail wag. I build trust with both dogs and their humans, creating a calm, loving environment that feels like home. I will ALWAYS send updated pictures a videos! Even with a full-time job, pet care is a priority I plan around, not squeeze in. I only accept clients I can fully commit to—meaning your pet gets the time, energy, and attention they deserve. I offer early morning, evening, and weekend care, and I’m highly organized to keep everything running smoothly. Pet care isn’t a side hustle for me—it’s a passion I build into my daily life. When pets stay with me, they become part of the family. I provide a safe, clean, and cozy environment with plenty of playtime, cuddles, and structure. I stick closely to their home routines—feeding, walks, medications, and bedtime habits—so they feel secure and comfortable. I make sure they get mental stimulation, physical activity, and lots of love throughout the day. In-home care means your pet stays in their familiar space, which helps reduce stress. I keep everything consistent with your instructions—from feeding and potty breaks to walks, play, and downtime. I respect your home like it’s my own and always send updates, photos, and quick check-ins to keep you at ease while you’re away.
“Jasmine is absolutely amazing!!! One of the best dog sitters I’ve ever had ☺️ I loved the consistent updates and pictures & videos of my Zoey while I was gone. And she also took such good care of the house. We will definitely be repeat customers and Zoey already cant wait to see Jasmine!! 🥰”


About: I have always had a love for all kinds of animals. Ive enjoyed watching family and friends pets as well as caring for my own pets in my apartment. I'd love to get to know you and your unique pet and make them feel even more loved and appreciated. I have past background knowledge on pet nutrition,hygiene and behavior traits. I am currently starting school in March to gain my pharmacy technician certification, I would have open availability to provide assistance for you and your pets. I do have a dog with me, her name is Maze. Maze is a rescue, she stays in my room and going on walks multiple times a day as well as dog parks, she would love to have a friend. Maze eats 2 times a day once in the morning and once in the evening with a snack (can of tuna/shredded chicken) in the afternoon. Maze talks walks in a harness to provide safely,we do have an extra! I have cats as well, the are allowed to freely roam around with little latches that keep bedroom doors open just enough for them to go in and out, they are also fed twice a day with wet food and have dry kibble out for free feeding through the day, since they have smaller stomachs they eat more frequently, howver the dry food is only filled once it runs out completely, the cats also have a running water fountain as well as other water bowls on elevated surfaces. Their are plenty of pet beds,toys and treats, if their are any allergies please let me know!
“Hannah took very good care of our pets! Our senior dog had some last minute health concerns that she was able to take on and handle through her stay. She managed all of our care requests and left our house in very clean condition. We will definitely book her again in the future!!”

About: I love cats and dogs!! I would love to hang out with your animals and care for them like they were my own while you’re away! :) I have some classes during the day so I will have all night and most afternoons to hang with your furry one! Lots of walking time! I have had dogs and cats my whole life so I know how to play with them and keep it safe and efficient! I love a good walk and fetch session
“Ali was great! Very attentive and follows instructions. Most of all she was able to work with our very timid dog. Good communication throughout. Will be using here again for sure! She's a sweetheart.”

About: I love all animals equally (don't tell my cats) and would love to get to know your pets! I have 2 years of experience taking care of dogs. I am familiar with clean up, basic training methods (e.x. clicker training) and high energy playtime. I can lounge around with older puppers or run up and down the yard with high energy doggos! I am currently working on personal business ventures so I have plenty of availability when it comes to your pets! I am available all 7 days of the week and can happily service on weekends! I also can do stays up to or longer than a week! Communication and honesty are some of my biggest values. I can provide plenty of checkin with photos as well as timely cleanups of any accidents or spills. In my home I make sure to have any medications locked away and I always check what type of plants I'm bringing in for my cats!
About: I have three dogs, two wonderful twin golden retrievers that are 5 years old. They are my whole world and so are my sister and brother’s dogs/cats! My sister has been doing rover in KC for over 7 years so it’s been a great way to experience rover and the necessities for all kinds of pets. Additionally, I’ve been a volunteer at Unchained Melodies puppy nursery and KC Pet Project for the last few years <3 I’m currently a post-graduate student preparing for medical school here in a year so I have a lot of time for longer term pups. I’m preparing for work part-time as well in the fall but I have a very open and flexible schedule. I have helped dog sit for years now and of course I’ve taken care of my own dogs since they were just babies. Unfortunately, I’m unable, for the most part, to have animals stay at my house however, I’m open if necessary. I walk and feed my own dogs daily and they take a lot of space so I want them to feel comfortable in their own environment.
About: I am a dog owner myself and have a lot of prior experience with pet sitting dogs, cats, birds, fish, etc. I am extremely reliable and responsible. I follow directions and know how important it is to communicate with you - regarding all of your pets needs. I find joy in spending time and taking exceptional care of animals. I currently work remotely, so I have a flexible schedule during the week to stop by and care for your pet(s)/house (if needed). This goes for weekends, as well. An animals safety is my number one priority. If I'm taking them in a public setting ie park/walk, my attention will be on them and the surrounding areas. If something seems abnormal about your animal, I will immediately contact you to figure out next steps. I am trustworthy and care about all animals.
About: I have hands on, everyday experience caring for four Golden Retrievers of my own. Managing a multi dog household has given me skills in canine schedule structure, supervision, and understanding of different personalities and energy levels. I also have experience caring for infant puppies, including feeding schedules, potty training foundations, crate introduction, and the patience that can sometimes be needed during those important early development stages. I’m comfortable maintaining routines, reinforcing basic training, and providing both high-energy play and calm, attentive care. Your pet will be treated like part of my family: safe, loved, and well cared for! I work remotely full time, so I am very flexible and am able to meet you and your schedule requests, whether it be for in-home visits, walk outing, or overnight stays. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I follow all feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise routines, and any specific instructions closely to make sure your pet feels comfortable and secure in their familiar environment. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, and affection while also reinforcing any training or household rules you have in place. I’m respectful of your home, keep everything clean and organized, and always send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.

“Just relocated to KC and needed a sitter on short notice. Elyssia was amazing with my 4 pups. I was very excited to find a vet tech available as 1 of my pups needed an injection while i was out of town. My pups loved her and were so tired from play when i got home. I would definitely use her again in the future.”

About: I am a college student trying to make a little extra money by taking care of some awesome dogs. I helped take care of two dogs growing up. I had an English bulldog for 11 years and I had another dog that is a mix of a lot of breeds that is now 7. I now have my own dog named Obi who is a poodle and is 9 months old. I have enjoyed helping train and care for all of them. I currently work part time doing odd jobs so I have a flexible schedule and am available for drop in visits plus do house sittings. Morning and late afternoon drop in visits would be the best. I keep my dog Obi well cared for and make sure to give him exercise and plenty of love. I am willing to feed them, give them water, play with them, and take them for walks just like I do my own dogs.
