House Sitting in Garden City

“This is the 2nd time I have used Patty to care for my fur babies. Once again they were well taken care of and didn’t have to worry! Will continue to use her for future needs.”

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life, and animals hold a special place in my heart . I’m currently a Pre-Veterinary student at the University of Central Missouri, and for the past five years, I’ve worked as a veterinary assistant at Pleasant Hill Animal Clinic, where my dad is a veterinarian. I’ve also been pet sitting for the past two years, caring for pets of all ages—from playful 10-month-old to sweet 12-year-old seniors. I have experience administering medications, including insulin injections for diabetic dogs, and I always make sure each pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for. I truly consider the dogs I care for as part of my extended family, and I can’t wait to meet your furry best friend and give them the same love and attention I’d give my own. I currently work part-time as a veterinary assistant, and I’m typically available every day except Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday. On those days, I occasionally have morning or afternoon availability, and I’m always available after 6 PM. I offer in-home care, boarding, and drop-in visits. Even on my busiest days, I always have a lunch break, so I’m never away from pets in my care for more than six hours at a time. Your pet’s comfort and well-being are my top priority, and I strive to provide dependable, loving care at all times. I have a fully fenced yard and one friendly Great Dane who can be easily kenneled or separated as needed. My home also features a dedicated, dog-proofed room that’s perfect for free roaming and playtime. Whether your pup prefers quiet relaxation or active engagement, I’m able to provide a safe, comfortable, and enriching environment tailored to their needs.

“Ronnie was great! Checked in frequently with pictures and was there at the times we asked for. Highly recommend!”

“Sydney is the best! She’s so sweet and has been so easy to work with. My dog has anxiety around new people, so Sydney went out of her way to do multiple meets/ drop ins to let her get use to her before staying over night. She did everything we asked and made sure our dog was comfortable. We can’t wait to use her in the future!!”

About: I’m just an army soldier very passionate about animals and taking care of them. I have taken animal health science classes and volunteered at Wayside Waifs a no kill animal shelter. I’m going to college to become an small animal veterinarian. I have worked with dogs of all sizes and breeds. I have taken animal behavior classes and have worked with dogs that are more difficult, but we’re just misunderstood. They just needed that extra love and attention. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

About: I have had two dogs my whole life and love animals. I’ve always watched over my friends and family’s loved pets for them, while they were away. They have always loved my services. I take feedback (good and bad) as well so if there is something you want exactly your way, I will try my best to accommodate it! I have a very flexible schedule and would love to meet your pets! I have references, and ratings to go with, as well! I take last minute bookings and if you prefer your animal stay at your house, I do make common visits when you prefer. I take lots of pictures to keep you updated and I’m very communicative. Your loved one is my loved one, and will be treated as if it were my own. I have a completely free schedule. I am home all day and have 100% attention to your loved one. I am consistent with any schedule you already have just let me know! I have a 10 acre yard so they will have lots of room to play and have the most fun they ever could! I’ll be your best pet sitter.

“We absolutely love Holly! Grizzly can be unsure around new people, but Holly was incredibly patient and let him warm up at his own pace. She provided thorough updates with great photos and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind. Holly is reliable, caring, and truly understands how to work with dogs who need a little extra time. We will definitely be booking with her again—1000% recommend!”

About: I’ve known I would work with animals my whole life. I started dog sitting as a young teen and have continued to care for pets throughout my life. I’ve also spent over six years working in grooming shops, gaining hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. My animal experience goes far beyond dogs — I’ve spent time around cats, horses, small barn animals, reptiles, fish, and more. I personally own a high-energy husky, and in the past, I’ve owned fish, a leopard gecko, and even ducks — so I’m comfortable with a wide range of care routines and species! I also have specific experience working with fearful and reactive dogs. I understand the patience and awareness it takes to help them feel safe and supported. I always move at the animal’s pace, using calm energy and positive reinforcement to build trust. While house sitting, I’m happy to attempt basic grooming tasks like nail trims or possibly haircuts, depending on the pet’s comfort level. My grooming background gives me the skills to approach these tasks gently and safely. I offer drop-ins, walks, and overnight stays in your home (I’m not able to host pets at mine). While I do work during the day, I make sure every pet gets plenty of love, attention, and care when I’m there. If you’re looking for someone dependable, experienced, and genuinely passionate about animals — I’d love to connect and meet your crew! I currently work as a groomer’s assistant in the mornings and typically finish by 5 p.m., which gives me early mornings and plenty of time in the afternoons and evenings to care for your pets I am unable to care for your pet at my home, but am happy to come to yours! As noted before, I have lots of experience caring for both cats and dogs, and know how to keep them safe. If you do not have a fenced in yard, I will be sure to let your dog out on a leash.

“Stephany was absolutely amazing with our dogs. I found her two days before we left for vacation. She came and met our dogs before the house sitting started. I was a little worried because I’ve never left our dogs to be cared for by someone else and we have a king Shepherd who is pretty territorial and not always friendly to unknown people. He took right to her along with our other two dogs. She sent text messages and pictures/videos daily with updates on how the dogs were. She even brushed them out for us, vacuumed the living room and cleaned up. Super happy with how well she took care of our fur babies while we were gone. Would absolutely recommend her and use her again when we leave town!”

Nicole B.

“Kelly was fantastic! She stayed with our dog at our house for three nights. Our dog was so well taken care of, happy, and enjoyed his time with her. She kept us updated each day with messages and photos. We will use her again when we need someone. Thank you!!”

About: Hi! I am a college student. I grew up with three dogs, seven horses, two cats, and chickens at my house. My parents are wanting me to wait until I graduate to get a pet of my own. So in the mean time, I would love to help you guys out. I love animals and can ensure you that I will take care of and love on your pets just like you would. I do not have a job, just classes. This means I will be available to play, feed, walk and more! I have been pet sitting regularly for about a year now and really enjoy it. I hope you will let me help you out! You can message me with any questions you may have!

“Bridget was very friendly and made sure to send us so many picture updates of her time spent with our pup! She gave him lots of outdoor time and play time, I would highly recommend her!”

Emily S.

“Julia is amazing! She was so sweet and caring when meeting our pups. When staying at our house she sent us picture updates each day and the dogs always looked spoiled. You can tell she is an animal lover. She communicates great. Julia gets extra points for having to chase after one of our dogs right when she arrived. Will definitely use her again in the future.”

About: I've been around dogs, and animals my whole life! I grew up caring for my family's dogs, and often watch friend's pets! I currently live with a roommate who has 2 dogs - I often feed them, walk them, and play with them a lot! I'm a pretty affectionate person - especially to animals! I currently have a full time job, working mainly in the afternoons, sometimes evenings. But my schedule is also pretty flexible! If I'm working I can take breaks about every 2-3 hours to check on the animals I won't be able to host your dog at my home. But I can come to yours! I am pretty flexible - I'm used to animals that will slept in the room with you, but I can crate them during the night or when I leave! I believe some animals need a lot of love and attention and I can give that while I am at the home
