“We had a very last minute need for someone to help with our dogs. Carly responded to me within minutes! This was our first time using Rover and we will definitely book with Carly again!”

“Marlee is the best! This is my 5th or 6th time using her to cat sit and her attention to detail is amazing! She’s always so loving and truly cares for your pets.”

“It was really great to work with Savannah. She was easy to contact, schedule and did a great job taking care of my cats when I was away. I will definitely use her again.”

“Absolutely amazing!! I can always trust them to take great care of my 2 old kitties while I'm away. I know that they are getting plenty of love and attention. So thankful for them!!”

About: I've had pets for ages, cats & dogs. Right now I don't have any, home is lacking! I have a special heart for smaller dogs! Right now, I'm working from home part time. So am pretty flexible watching your pet. My preference is to have your pet here in my home. I have a large fenced in back yard, dogs seem to love roaming in it! I prefer to crate at night and have always crated my dog when leaving home. I find dogs seem more secure when crated.
“It was a delight to meet Rachael for a drop in visit. My pup took to her immediately. Looking forward to her taking care of Pippa while we're away. She asked good questions, she had good responses to my questions, and she left me feeling much more comfortable about having someone stay in my home.”

“Maddie checked on my cat and took care of my plants when I was gone for 2 weeks. I couldn’t be happier, my cat is doing great and the plants look better than when I left. Thanks Maddie!”

“Alex was great! I felt completely comfortable leaving my dogs with him. Knowing he had dog training experience gave me peace of mind while I was out of town. And he was great with both of them - even my high energy pup that doesn't always take to strangers. He took to Alex right away!”

About: I've worked at a few different clinics and shelters throughout the years. I foster for the local shelter and help friends with their fur babies! I work full time during the day, but work 5 min away from my home and I can go check on things throughout the day. I have a house with a fenced yard. I have a cat that sticks to herself mostly. I have foster dogs coming and going. I use gates to separate if needed
About: I grew up in a mini zoo caring for dogs, cats, fish, rodents, and even farm animals! I’ve always had a natural connection with pets of all kinds, and I love getting to know each animal’s unique personality. Whether your furry friend is shy, energetic, cuddly, or has special needs, I provide personalized, attentive care to make them feel safe and loved while you’re away. My full time work week still leaves plenty of time for early morning and evening visits, plus full availability on weekends. I’m great at keeping a consistent routine, so your pet will always know when to expect their walks, meals, and playtime. Whether it’s a weekday drop in or a weekend stay, I’ll make sure your pet gets dependable, loving care. I care for pets in the comfort of their own home so they can stay relaxed and happy in their familiar space. I follow your routines for feeding, walks, and playtime, whatever keeps your pet feeling their best! I love taking dogs to the park, going on walks, or playing fetch in the yard, and I’m always attentive to their safety and comfort while you’re away.
“Quick response for a late request. Let me know when she was headed over and checked if there was anything else to get taken care of. I appreciate the comms and tryin to play with Tanqueray. Def will use again.”

About: I’m an avid dog lover and have been taking care of family and friend’s pets since I was 10 years old. I currently have a Golden Retriever and Pitbull, both of which I got at 12 weeks, so I’m very familiar with puppies and older dogs alike! Although I love my big dogs, I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and types. Whether your dog is perfect on the leash or needs a little more focus, I’m excited to help! I currently work full time between Kansas City, MO and Overland Park, KS, so I am able to drop in before work, during my lunch, and after work. Need an overnight stay? I’d be happy to help! Building trust with your pet is my highest priority! I love to give treats (after a good sit!) and positive reinforcement to ensure that your fur baby knows they are in safe hands. One of my dogs has taken time to learn leash etiquette and reactivity, so I’m familiar with redirecting, creating stimulating treats, and crating if necessary. All dogs are different, so I’d love to have the chance to meet your pup!
About: I have taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember. Family, friends and neighbors have trusted me to take great care of their fur babies and I have always loved doing so! I have taken care of dogs from all ages such as puppies to senior dogs and I also don’t mind on the size of your dog as I have cared for dogs of all sizes. I currently work full time mostly night shifts so my obscure schedule will allow to me to do late night or early morning pet sitting ! I can always try to accommodate to some day sitting. I can easily learn feeding and walking schedules. I have experience giving vitamins/medications. If your fur baby needs any special care I am happy to help.
