Anne and her family took excellent care of our cats while we were traveling. They even made friends with a very shy girl and gave her treats. I got a good update and pictures from each visit.

Sally was awesome! I booked with short notice but she still made time to come for a meet and greet and ask lots of questions. She did drop in visits for our two cats and provided play and snuggles. She even made friends with our cat that isn’t a fan of most people! We got updates with pictures and videos from each visit. She took great care of Minerva and Tonks!

About: Hi, I’m Abby! Animals have always been a significant part of my life. I started – MyPetFriendsICT – as my very own local pet-sitting and homemade treat company in 2023 to help raise money for my competition dance team and colorguard activities, in addition to allowing me to pay my way for a nine-day educational trip to London & Paris, during my Senior year at Maize South High School. I was able to I graduated from Maize South High School in May 2025, and I am now an incoming freshman member of the ESU Marching Hornets Colorguard. I am excited to offer my pet care services that ensure your furry friends are well cared for while you are away. My affordable rates already include Rover’s fees, so you know exactly what you’ll pay before you book—making it a win-win for both of us! No care is too short, and no vacation is too long! Whether you need a quick 15-minute drop-in for a potty break, a longer 30-45-minute visit for exercise and companionship, or overnight stays, I’m here to help. With six+ years of pet sitting experience in Wichita and Sedgwick County, I look forward to continuing that service in Emporia and Lyon County while attending Emporia State University these next four years. Growing up with multiple dogs instilled a deep love for canine companionship. I also have a strong affection for other animals, including cats, birds, hamsters, guinea pigs, fish, and reptiles. Currently, I have three dogs aged 5 to 13, all requiring daily medications, so I understand the importance of providing extra care. I am responsible and detail-oriented. I am experienced in caring for dogs of all ages—from playful puppies to senior dogs who need a bit of special attention. I will provide a loving and nurturing environment for your pets, whether for a day or an extended period. Your furry friends will feel right at home with me, allowing them to stay in the comfort of their own space—there is no need for a kennel! Most importantly, I love animals and can’t wait to meet yours! It's essential to maintain your pets' personalized schedules to help reduce stress and keep them safe, happy, and ready to cuddle when you return home. As a full-time student, I prioritize keeping my class and practice schedule up-to-date alongside my pet-sitting availability, ensuring you know when I’m available well in advance. I strive to be as flexible as your schedule requires. Living on campus, I genuinely enjoy taking quick breaks from my studies to care for your furry family members. Not only is it beneficial for their mental health, but it also brings me joy and relaxation! Your pet's care will always adhere to your requests and instructions! As a full-time ESU student living on campus, I can only care for your pets in your home, but I promise to leave it just as I found it. I have experience staying in clients’ homes overnight for periods of up to several weeks, always ensuring I clean up after myself and your pets. I will care for your pet and keep them as safe as you would. I’ll love them as if they were my own, providing plenty of affection and attention. Additionally, I will follow any training, diet, or other instructions you leave for me. My goal is to make your life easier while prioritizing normalcy and maintaining your pets' routines.

Madison was so sweet, she came to meet my dog before the actual visits and asked a lot of great questions to make sure she had all of the information she needed. She showed up for every check-in scheduled and even sent pictures, I could tell from the photos that my dog was so happy to spend time with her. I will definitely book with her again, she’s awesome!

About: I provide both cat and dog services. I understand what it's like to need that last minute assistance with making sure your pet friends are taken care of while you're out of town. I am more than happy to help you out! As a cat owner myself, I care for my cats daily. We have cuddles, playtime, outdoor time, feeding time, and chill time daily. I make sure to spend a bit of quality time (when they allow it) with each cat daily. For myself, I feed my cats a measured amount of food (some have a specific diet) twice daily. I administer any necessary meds, change litter boxes, clean up any cat messes (vomit/fecal mess), let the cats go outside for supervised wandering, and more. For clients, I will work with you to determine how best to tailor my services to your kitty's needs. I work full-time, so feeding times will be before and after I get off work.

About: I have taken care of both dogs and cats all of my life. I adore both of these animals and have a great bond with them. I am fresh out of college, so I'm pretty available. This is perfect for me because I can work when I can and where I can. I feed my animals of a scheduled basis and feed them portions based on the vets recommendation. I have a gated backyard where I let my dogs play and use the restroom.

About: I have taken care of dogs all my life. Growing up my grandma fostered all kinds of pups and that introduced me to the world of pet care. Later on in life I got a job working at a doggy daycare where I learned to take care of all varieties of dogs, ages, breeds, and personalities. I learned to take time and learn the individual dogs; what they need, how they play, what signals to look for, etc. There I also adopted my very own baby, Sugar. I absolutely LOVE dogs and I’ll take care of any like my own:) I’m currently in between jobs, so i’ll have plenty of time to play with your fur-babies!! I’m able to drop in for visits/walks through the week. Times between mon-fri, 8 AM- 8 PM I can easily adapt to different schedules depending on what you need. I have tons of experience with walking all sizes of dogs, taking care of pets in home, etc. Anything you may need:)

About: I've homed a wide-range of pets throughout the years but mostly dogs! From 2 large St. Bernard's to a tiny rat terroir, I'm comfortable with any breed. I currently work full time Mon-Fri but I have an hour lunch break that I would love to use to give your precious pup a walk or potty break! I'm available weekends along with Monday's and Tuesday's for boarding. I have a large, fenced in backyard with lots of space to play! I also have a doggy door that leads into the fenced in backyard. I have three dogs (mini aussie, regular aussie, and bernadoodle) but they go between staying at my house & my boyfriend's house so if you have a dog that prefers their space from other dogs that is no problem at all!

First time leaving my furr baby and Trinda was so good! She put me as ease leaving my cat and took good care of her and played and gave her all the attention she needed ? definitely would ask her to care for my pets again because she took time to brush, play and feed them.
