About: I’ve worked in the veterinary fields for a couple of years as a veterinary technician, I have gotten a lot of experience about animal behavior and will advocate for them. I am currently going back to continue my education, my school is based online which will give me the opportunity to be more open with my schedules. Throughout the years I’ve worked with dogs, aggressive dogs and cats I have focused on learning the body language and behaviors of our pet. Which I implemented my learning to any animal I see by not pushing their boundaries or making them uncomfortable, making sure pets feel safe around me. With my veterinary education I have been able to help clients who need to provide insulin injections to their pets as well as nail trims and anal gland issues.

“Most importantly, Michelle cares for my puppy, Ollie, as if he were her own and I feel fortunate to have her taking care of him! She is reliable, trustworthy, and lets me know how he’s doing during her visits. Ollie thinks he has two dog moms and that’s wonderful!”

About: I’ve been apart of rover for 5 years now, and my experience in pet sitting proceeds that for 10+. I love pets and have a very flexible schedule. I am freshly back to the area after college graduation so I will be around for the near future with lots of free time. My work schedule is 8-4:30pm M-F so I will be out of the home during those times, with availability to stop in for a visit around lunch time. I am energetic and willing to work with you to give you the most peace of mind as possible as you go on your trips! I work full time 8-4:30 Monday-Friday with special cases on holidays. I am available any time outside of those hours and short period in the middle of the day to drop in during my lunch hour. I am not able to house pets in my house but I am more than comfortable to watch them in your house. I have practice and experience with all safety measures that are needed with pet and home care.

About: Us as humans don’t deserves animals sometimes I don’t think! The love and loyalty that they give us is unremarkable!! The way they look at us, cuddle us, kiss us…they are just such amazing creatures! I was raised on a farm with cats and big dogs so I never knew any different but to love animals my entire life! My parents always had St Bernard’s growing up so that was always so much fun! We would always find kittens dumped in a ditch somewhere so they would become part of our farm family or maybe even talked into having one coming inside!! Now that I have had my own family I have also raised my kids with cats and big dogs of course. We have had Rottweilers and let me tell you…they are such amazingly loyal, loving, smart and strong dogs! As for cats we have had tabby's, domestic shorthair and tom cats! My experience comes from being raised around animals and owning them myself! My heart loves animals naturally. When you are around animals how can you at least not smile several times because of how happy they make you?! Currently I’m on summer break so I’m available anytime until the middle of August. After school starts I work part time from 10-2 so I would not be available during those times. I have a 6 year old orange tabby named Twigg! He is definitely my shadow and follows me around everywhere I go! He is very much spoiled and my little guy and he sure does love his mom!

“I left my dog named Persy for the first time with a stranger and Sarah and Elijah made her so happy that she didn’t even miss me. I really appreciate the love that you guys show to Persy. I’m really grateful with you. Thank you”

“Monica did a great job and made me deal super secure while I was away from my babies I truly dread taking vacation just because I hate to leave them. She stayed in touch with me ever step of the way and sent me fun pics to show me how much fun they were having. The only bad news is now my kitty thinks I am going to play all these fun games- lol. Thank you, Monica!”

About: I’ve have taken care of animals my whole life. Both of my parents are veterinarians! I’m able to give medications & care for many animals! I also recently worked as an apprentice at a dog training facility & can help with basic obedience. I am currently working in the Kansas City area with plenty of free time to visit or stay with your pets! I will be available most weekends & weekdays. I recently lost my 11-year-old french bulldog, Scout. She meant the world to me & showed me how to be the best owner/friend I can be. I will treat your animals with the same love & respect.

About: I became a foster parent for GPSCA at the end of 2020 after adopting my bubbi with them during the summer. I took care of a mom and 3 puppies as my first assignment, all were adopted! <3 A few months after that, I fostered an older dog who had recently had surgery, who also got adopted after a couple of months with me. I love playing with dogs and getting to know all of their different personalities. My bubbi is an old man who loves to just snuggle and play catch with you. He's all about those TREATS too. Recently promoted to a hybrid job, 3 days in person, Mon-Weds. Unlike before where I was WFH. This would take me away for about 8-9 hours on those days. I know it can be scary for a pet to meet someone new. I like to make any dog I'm pet-sitting feel comfortable in its own environment. Whether that means I just sit there until they are comfy with me or abiding my their normal routine, I don't want them to feel out of place.

“Laura was AWESOME! My fur baby absolutely loved her. She took great care of her while I was away. Went the extra mile for her. Couldn’t have hoped for anyone better. Laura is the best!”

“Reliable and trustworthy, we were extremely happy with her daily drop in visits and pictures that she sent.”

About: I grew up with dogs. I have one dog of my own. I have assisted in potty training and basic commands (sitting, laying, etc.) I have a twin sister I live with that can and will assist in animal care. I am in nursing school full-time. The classes are hybrid. I will have extra time to be able to care for your animal. My school schedule will be different every week. I live in an apartment complex that has a large dog park to allow your dog to run around and play. I can let your dog outside as frequent as needed and will play with them.

About: I've had pets my whole life, and that is not limited to just cats and dogs. A guinea pig I was gifted as a young child ignited my love and passion for living creatures. Since then I've loved animals of all shapes and sizes. I’ve worked at a pet store as their go-to animal care woman. I’ve cared for small mammals and reptiles and LOTS of fish. I've always, always had cats and dogs at home, including now. I've worked for other dog walking and daycare companies, and I have experience with dogs of all shapes and sizes, from an 80-pound dane mix to a 15-pound French bulldog. I haven't met an animal yet that I didn't learn to love. I'm not a squeamish person, so whatever you need me to do for your pet, I will do my absolute best. Thank you for considering me to take care of your best friend - whatever form they may take. Although I’d love to be able to do this full time, I do have to work around my day job. That leaves me available Tuesday, Friday, and Saturday most weeks. I will update my schedule if I get a day off. I will always be fully alert to your pets needs. Food, water, potty, bath. You name it, I can do it. I have years of experience with all types of animals under my belt.

“I can't RAVE enough about these sweet people! They met us before a family trip, and my three dogs immediately warmed up to them. That's rare! They were consistent, on time and went above and beyond. They cleaned up accidents, took tons of photos, and even took time to love on our dogs each time. I'm beyond thrilled. We came back to happy dogs and a clean home, showing that even if the accident did occur they cleaned it up properly. I'll 100% be booking with them again!”

About: I have taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember. I grew up with lots of dogs and I was always responsible for feeding them, bathing them and making sure they had enough exercise. I have been around all ages of dogs from puppies to seniors. On top of taking care of my own pets I have been a pet sitter for multiple friends and family for years. I currently work part time, mostly in the afternoon therefore my schedule is pretty flexible each day. Mornings are ideal times for me to provide care for your pets but like I said, I can be flexible. I am also available most weekends for walks or boarding. I currently live in apartment and have 2 cats so I would not be able to have your pet stay in my home. However I am more than willing to provide care in the clients home in whatever way they need.
