I have nothing but good things to say about Kendra! She’s friendly, dependable, and is very patient with both our sweet pit/mix and our heathen chihuahua. I highly recommend her.

About: I’ve taken care of a German Shepherd named Kylo for the past 2 years. I recently stopped due to the owner being able to stay home with him full time.

So I will be available between noon-6:00 PM on those days. I am available between 9AM-5PM on Saturday’s and 9AM-2:00PM on Sundays. I will care in anyway needed. I can provide companion, physical and mental stimulation to your dog, make sure they are fed and hydrated, walked and taken to go potty, along with any other basic task you may want complete.

Dasha was awesome! She texted me updates throughout Wilma's walk/visit and even brought in our packages from our front porch. She followed all of the directions we left to a T, but most importantly she took great care of our dog and made her long day alone less lonely. We will definitely use her again. Wilma had a great time with Dasha!

The absolute best. Reliable, communicative, empathic, trustworthy—I could go on and on! My dog is leash reactive and it’s such a relief knowing he has someone who understands him and is willing to work with his individual needs. And his little tail doesn’t stop wagging from the moment he sees her car pull up!

About: Hi! My name is Evin Bromberg and I have lots of animal sitting experience. I’ve been animal/house sitting for many years! Even throughout college, I’d often spend my breaks animal sitting during the holidays. Having recently moved back home for the foreseeable future, I am eager and excited to care for your dogs (and cats!). I've cared for as many as 5 animals at once, as well as dogs up to 90+ pounds! I have a fairly flexible schedule and am always willing to move things around to help you out! While I have a lot of sitting experience, I’m very new to Rover. But, I'm super excited to see what it has in store for me! I can't wait to meet your animals! I'm currently living at home and taking on dog sitting jobs as often as I can! My schedule is extremely flexible, and I am more than willing to move things around in order to help out you and your family as much as possible! I always ensure the safety and comfort of the animals I care for. As a very cautious person, especially when considering another person's pet, I am constantly considering the rules and interests given to me by the owner. Additionally, I love playing with animals, laying around with them, and making their tails wag as much as possible!

About: I’ve grown up with family dogs and have been a trusted dog sitter for close friends and family for nearly 10 years, caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I also have 5 years of hands-on experience with my own Portuguese Water Dog, who is healthy, happy, and well-trained. He’s part of our family and gets two walks a day, lots of playful activity, and special care. He truly is our little boy! I love puppy playdates and socializing dogs safely. My dog enjoys the company of other dogs, children, and adults of all ages, so I’m comfortable caring for pets in multi-dog households or busy family environments. I treat every dog like part of the family, ensuring they get exercise, attention, and love every day. Additionally, I have experience raising baby chickens and cared for my very own hens for three years! I truly love pets of all kinds and can’t wait to help take care of yours! I work part-time so I have plenty of time to play with your pups! I am available 3 days a week, Monday, Tuesday and Thursday, from 6 AM to 10PM for drop-ins and walks. I focus on providing reliable, flexible, and loving care, and I’m happy to help with feeding, potty breaks, playtime and general house sitting while I drop in. I live in Independence and am excited to help neighbors and the local community when you need an extra hand. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I provide a secure, loving environment whether we’re walking, playing, or checking in at home. I build trust with every dog, making sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and part of the family. From supervised puppy playdates and sleepovers to daily walks, I focus on exercise, mental stimulation, and affection — so your furry friend thrives while you’re away.
