About: In addition to caring for my own dogs, I've fostered over 40 dogs including puppies, senior dogs, dogs recovering from surgery, and dogs requiring special behavioral and/or medical assistance. I've recently been approved as a puppy raiser for Canine Companions. I am retired and available during the work day. I know what it's like to worry about your dog getting the exercise and attention they need, my flexibility can work for you. I will have your dog on-leash for any walks or outside time at my home. As the pawrent, I want to follow any directions or suggestions that you have for making your dog comfortable and happy.

About: Loving and responsible dog sitter with a passion for caring for furry friends. Experienced in handling dogs of all sizes and breeds, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and well-exercised. Reliable, attentive, and ready to provide your pet with the best care while you're away! Pet care is an amazing outlet to help clear your mind while also contributing to the health for both the pup and I in an enjoyable manor!! :)) When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I make sure to follow their specific routines for feeding, walking, and playtime to keep everything familiar and comfortable for the pet. I provide lots of attention, love, and exercise to keep them happy and healthy. I also keep a close eye on their behavior and health, making sure they’re safe and relaxed at all times. Cleanliness and a calm environment are priorities, and I communicate regularly with the pet owner to update them on how their pet is doing!!

About: I've been a dog owner and animal lover my entire life, giving me firsthand experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. As a current pug and cat parent, I understand the importance of providing pets with a safe, loving, and reliable environment. I treat every pet as if they were my own and am committed to ensuring they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you're away. Pet care fits well into my current schedule. I work a fulltime professional position during the weekdays, which allows me to provide pet care services during evenings, weekends, and select weekdays depending on the pet's needs. I'm organized, reliable, and committed to ensuring pets receive the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. We live in a community with walking paths and a couple of ponds that we enjoy walking to with our pups. I will be happy to walk yours through the neighborhood as well. As a lifelong dog owner and current pug and cat parent, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every animal as a member of my own family.

About: I work at The Wag Dog Bar in Grandview! If your pups like other ones, let’s talk about the possibility of me bringing them for a few hours! If that makes you uncomfortable, no worries! I will still enjoy doing all other services to provide for your pup :) This position put me through a lot of training about dog behavior! I recently rescued my very own bully mix from the shelter. I am very comfortable with any and all pups! I am currently working two part time jobs so my schedules often changes! If you want to ask, please reach out and I will provide you my schedule for the whole week! My pup is like my child. I treat her with gentleness, just like I would your pup. I always have treats on hand (please let me know if your pup has any allergies!) I always go by the policy that the pup’s comfort and experience comes first!!

About: Being around dogs is something that comes naturally, and making them feel comfortable is always the priority. Time is taken to understand each dog’s personality, whether that means helping a puppy learn or giving a senior dog a slower relaxed walk. Every walk is filled with patience, attention, and a little extra love (and probably a few happy tail wags along the way). The goal is always a safe, fun, and stress free experience for every pup 🐾 I’m in my second year of college and working part time job on weekends, so afternoons on weekdays are when I’m most free. Every pet is cared for based on what they’re used to and what makes them feel most comfortable. In a client’s home, routines are followed closely to keep things familiar like feeding times, walks, or play. At home, pets are in a safe calm environment with lots of attention and care. Whether they’re energetic or more relaxed, they’re always treated with patience and love.

“Taylor has been very helpful. She has come and walked our very energetic dog on a weekly basis and I have had 0 difficulties getting ahold of her or getting feedback about how everything went. She is very sweet and a great choice for your pet!”

About: I've been a dog owner for many years and love animals of all kinds. I have two dogs of my own who are my babies. I'm happy to help with walks, feeding, play time etc. I work in childcare and am looking to fill in some days off. Animals are my favorite so I thought this would be a great fit! I will only be caring for pets in your home and am happy to follow all instructions to keep your animals happy and safe at all times.

About: Animals bring so much joy to me and help my mental health in so many ways!. i have one dog and two cats, they are my entire world! i’m available mostly on the weekends but some weekdays! i am such a lover for dogs and cats and just being around them makes me happy. My cousin has a dog sitting business and I grew up taking care of animals of all sizes and ages with her! i loved every second of it. being able to come home to some of the cutest dogs or cats would put the biggest smile of my face. Animals are a happy place for me because they always know how to make you smile through the rough days! I’m currently working part time at one job as well as college but my school schedule is mostly two days a week, so i am able to fit pet care into my schedule daily! My schedule varies per day but ask away! I want the pet to be comfortable with me, so i will do what you recommend me to do with your pet and how to make sure it is happy while i’m watching them!

“Always helpful and goes above and beyond for Mochi.”

About: I’ve always loved being around animals and have years of experience caring for dogs and cats for family and friends. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, bathroom breaks, playtime, and following each pet’s individual routine. I know every pet has their own personality, so I take the time to learn what makes them comfortable — whether that means lots of play and attention or giving a shy pet time to warm up to me. I’m very attentive to instructions and will treat your pet and home with the same care and respect I would want someone to give my own. I’m also happy to send plenty of pictures and updates during visits so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing! I have a flexible weekly schedule that gives me plenty of time for pet care! I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week, including evenings and weekends. I keep my Rover calendar updated regularly so my availability is always as accurate as possible. I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine whenever I can, and I’ll always communicate clearly about scheduling. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always come first. I’ll follow their normal routine and your care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any household rules. I’m careful about keeping doors, gates, and leashes secure, and I’ll always supervise your pet appropriately. I also understand how important it is to trust someone in your home. I’ll treat your space with respect, clean up after your pet, and make sure everything is left the way I found it. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, comfortable, and getting plenty of attention while you’re away.

About: What sets me apart is how much I genuinely love animals. I’m patient, caring, and attentive, and I’ll treat every pet like they’re my own. 🐾❤️ I work from home Monday through Thursday, so I have plenty of time and flexibility to give your pets attention, care, playtime, and lots of love. We have a spacious townhouse with a large, open living room where your pet can comfortably relax, play, and have fun. We also live in a walkable community, making it easy to take your dog outside for walks, fresh air, and exercise. I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and at home while they’re with me. 🐾💕

About: From a young age, I have always babysat pets for family and family friends! I expanded this experience in college to babysitting pets on a more professional level. I currently have three dogs of my own who I love and adore. I understand not being able to trust just anyone with your babies so please rest assured, I will adhere to every wish you make.
