About: Taken care of dogs for over five years. Watch neighbors and friends dogs routinely. Live around the corner from Grandview pet hospital for even more peace of mind. I work full time remotely so I’m always home. Bathroom breaks and walks will never be an issue. I am literally home 95% of the time. The other five percent is locally around KC to see family. Big back yard and have an extra room for pets including toys and mattress etc. My dog is my son without tax breaks so he sleeps in the bed with me mostly. I don’t mind if dogs are on furniture etc. If this is against your home rules, I have no problem keeping them off if needed. Food, walks, naps, play time and repeat.

“Ana was so understanding about us not being able to show up with our dog and communicated the whole way through! Thank you Ana, even though we couldn’t make it to have you watch our puppy!!”


“Manda was great. Peaches was a bit shy at first but she was fine. I’m very pleased with the kind care Manda provided. Definitely will book again.”


About: I have been around animals my entire life and cared for my own dogs for nearly 20 years. I often dog sit/house sit for friends and neighbors. I have two female pugs and a male terrier mix who are part of our family. While I do have kids and they may join in on a walk, I would always be the one in charge of the leash and walking your dog. We have a large fenced in yard for plenty of play time if you board or schedule doggie daycare with us. I also have experience caring for small animals like cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, lizards, chickens, and hamsters. I can board animals in cages/enclosures in an area where other animals do not have access or provide drop in visits in your home. With specific instructions, I could accommodate most types of animals. I work part time on the weekends and my husband works full time during the week, part of which is work from home. Our home is rarely without someone here. I do have two school aged children who are gentle if a dog is staying with us and also gives me an opportunity for dog walking at your location. I will provide cute pictures from drop in visits, walks, and boarding. If your dog stays overnight with us, we would require crating only during the night. Otherwise our dogs are out and about in the main part of the house and go out into our fenced backyard often. They also enjoy frequent walks in our quiet neighborhood if desired.

“Billie gives such kind, loving care to Ginger. She makes adorably decorated little jars of home made treats for special holidays and is a wonderful caregiver to our senior dog. Her own dog is an easy going older fella himself, and they ignore each other companionable. 😄”


About: I have had pets almost my whole life. Dogs, cats, bunnies, fish, reptiles and a parrot. Life stages include kitten, puppies, middle age rescues to seniors. I will care for your fur babies and home as if they were my own. Presently I am retired and available for drop in visits. You can relax knowing your home and pets are in my caring hands. Primarily, I offer kitty & small/med dog care, feeding, brushing, playing, walking, litter care. May consider larger dogs, doggie daycare and overnight stay. Depends, as I do have a very mellow happy cat and I do not want to turn her world upside down. I will want to meet your pet, listen to you, take notes on their routines and what is most important for their best care while you are away. I know from my own experience the relief I feel when I have reliable pet care. I will always be a phone call away and will text pictures of your fur baby while they are in my care.

“Our dog Rubi loved Elaine! I messaged Elaine the day before we needed care for our dog and she was so prompt to respond and ready to help us. She took great care of Rubi and sent us a picture and updates. Her backyard is perfect for dogs to run and play in and her house is calming and quiet. We will deffinetly think of Elaine again if we need care for our dog.”


“Kayah was a perfect host and we appreciate how well she communicated and spent time with Hazel.”


“April and her sweet little family were wonderful and welcoming. Jack got some outside time and seemed to enjoy his little play date. ?”


About: I have always had dogs of all shapes, sizes, and personality and I am at my most comfortable in their company! I enjoy caring for dogs, whether it is cooking them a nice homemade meal, playing in the yard, or cuddling on the couch, you can rest assured your furry loved one is getting spoiled while you are away :) I work at home with lots of flexibility to tend to the needs of any pets around, and with access to a large fenced in yard no doggie will ever go without playtime and the freedom to potty when needed :) I have 2 friendly dogs and a fenced in back yard with lots of space in a large home that gives pets the freedom to explore and get comfortable while within the safety of a loving home. There are always ample treats and toys on hand!

“Morgan is fantastic! She continuously sent me photos and updates of my pup & treated him like her own. She even put an extra snow jacket on him when he went out to play in the snow. Beau will 100% be coming back to play! 🤗”


“I appreciate how well Chantelle took care of my sweet pup Blue! She left continuous updates on him and I will be forever grateful for her service.”


About: I work at an animal shelter and have experience handling and training dogs and cats with a wide array of medical and behavioral needs. I also have extensive experience tending to a wide range of animals, from cats and dogs to small mammals to horses. I have grown up with horses and currently have two of my own, and am very familiar with their needs and behaviors. I also have hands-on experience with rats, birds, fish, and reptiles. I look forward to taking care of your beloved family member! I work full time so I offer limited scheduling options, based on your needs and your dog's. I only work 4 days a week, so have much more flexibility Sunday-Tuesday. I also have the ability to utilize my lunch break to drop by in the middle of the day to let your dog out for a midday potty break and play session! I live in a home with a yard where your dog can have space to run or play in addition to daily walks. I also have a private room where your kitty or other animals could stay comfortably when they are here. At your home, I'm happy to share my space with your animals in whatever ways you allow, be it the sofa, the bed, or simply coexisting across a room!

Hickman Mills dog parents share their Rover experiences
Morgan was great! Spaghetti and Meatball had a blast! There were a few friends for them to make while they stayed for daycare! They both slept the whole car ride home! Haha! She sent pictures, responded quickly and didn’t make me feel bad about being a helicopter mom! She even got their harnesses and coats on, so they were ready when I got there! They will be seeing her and their friends again in a couple weeks!
