“Arrica is amazing! Hands down one of the best walkers we’ve had. She’s professional, flexible, highly responsive, thorough and patient! She does great with my dog Mello, who warmed up to her quickly. He loves seeing her come through the door and we could not ask for better!”
“Amber has been great with walking our dog over lunch while we are at work! It’s been a couple weeks, and Amber has been great with communication, timing, and overall care for our dog.”
About: **PET SITTING UPDATE - My husband will start traveling for work sometime this fall. His company has not given him travel dates yet. This will affect my ability to pet sit as I will need to be home when he is gone. Currently, I am only able to accept sitting requests within 1-2 weeks. If this doesn't work for your current situation, please reach out in the future for your fur baby needs.** I volunteer for an animal rescue. I have fostered puppies and participated in their adoption process - I have also foster failed once. I have cared for babies all the way up to seniors. Both dogs and cats. While I do have fur babies of my own, I will not bring them around yours unless they have already been introduced. This is my full-time job so I'm available to take care of your fur baby whenever you need me. I would love to meet them and play! I will meet with you and your pet ahead of time to learn about your pet and what they need from me when I visit with them.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my experience with dogs. I worked at a wonderful dog shelter called KC Paws that taught me about dog handling, body language, and temperament. I was a shift lead so I have experience administering medications - liquid and pills. I am also a foster for T.A.R.A, another wonderful shelter, so I have TONS of experience with puppies as young as 5 weeks old. While I have not worked in a professional setting with cats, I have 3 of my own and I have fostered two sweet cats. I’m finishing up school with one class left so at the moment, Rover is my full time job! I’m available unless otherwise stated on my schedule for whatever care your pet needs - day and night. Feel free to send me a message about scheduling questions to see if we can work something out! :) I only offer dog sitting in your home because I’ve got too many animals at my house and your dog or cat’s safety is my biggest priority. I am diligent when it comes to following instructions (with medications, food allergies, special needs) as well as with making sure your home is all locked up when I leave.
“Cheyenne has been great with my doggy and is so dependable with my crazy work schedule. I love the detailed reports she gives, and goes above and beyond by cleaning up messes that my doggy might make when I’m away. She’s the best person I have found do care for my dog in a long time!”
“Wendy was FABULOUS! She was very kind and responsive, and was happy to modify the schedule when our needs changed. I would absolutely work with her again!”
“Lulu has been wonderful! She has been walking my 10 month old puppy who was not great on a leash but seems to be doing well! My puppy cries for her when she drops her off! Lulu is very punctual and professional and has answered any questions I have. She also leaves a detailed report after each walk. I would highly recommend her!”
About: In a professional capacity, I’ve been off and on Rover for a few years, and I love it! My clients have loved the customer service level I bring to each interaction. From my communication style and pictures to my ability to be flexible in scheduling. In my personal life, I’ve taken care of dogs, fish, cats, turtles/tortoises, rats and guinea pigs. I’ve administered medication to pets in the past and I’ve done enrichment training as well. Schedule varies. I work in the Plaza and Partner Joel works from home and is available to care for pets all day. We live in downtown Kansas City MO. With my dog walks, I’ll typically take a 20 minute walk with 10 minutes allowed for enrichment/playtime. With any drop-ins, I’m happy to refill food/water and/or take care of any plants babies that you may have as I have a pretty good green thumb.
About: I have a big fenced in yard. All dogs will be allowed anywhere in the home, plus on all furniture ! I will love your pup as my own. Belly rubs, walks, cuddles and playtime will be what your pup will experience when I sit for them. I currently have 2 dogs of my own. 1 male who is 5 and a Pitt mix. 1 female who is an Aussie mix who is also 5. Both are rescues and get along very well with all dogs. Of course we can do a meet and greet. Several blankets and dog beds for your dog to lay on!! I am currently employed as a certified medical assistant. I would be available Monday through Sunday. I work Monday through Friday from 7:30 am to 4pm. I am active so walks will be a must, weather permitting. Big yard to play in or chill on the couch/bed watching movies and cuddling ❤️ I do have a fenced in yard and a crate if needed. If at your place, I will take them out, crate if needed, and walk with them.

“Anna walked our older pug while we were in Europe for two weeks (he was staying with my mom, but needed more consistent activity than my mom was able to provide with her schedule). Anna was very communicative and provided pictures and updates for each walk. Would definitely recommend Anna!”
“Michaela is so good with my rambunctious boys! I don't trust many people can handle them and she has my absolute trust. She's very friendly, responsive -and most of all - a kennel break savior! I absolutely recommend her...as long as you don't take her away from us!”
“Andrea is amazing! She is very punctual, professional, and accommodating. Very easy to work with and always very responsive. My dog loves her and can’t wait to go on walks with her. I very much recommend her to anyone who needs a great dog walker.”
About: I have been walking dogs and pet sitting for 13 years continuously. I very much enjoy being around animals and have animals of my own. I have rescued and taken care of cats for the last 30 years. I do not have a preference on breed, I will take any kind. I am very dependable and on time. I am willing to dedicate my time on the weekends as well as on the weekdays to taking care, feeding, and walking the animals. I have been very successful in building relationships with animals as well as their owners. I have current clients that I walk and dog sit for, however I am looking to expand my clientele and add to my list of dogs and cats.
“Charniece was the absolute best! Even though our dog wasn't cooperative, she really tried to make things work with him. She was kind and patient with him. She was willing to keep working with him until he was comfortable.”
About: Hey there! I’ve taken care of pets of all kinds my whole life. I currently have 2 cats, but of course I love dogs of all sizes, and I have experience with some farm animals too. Whether you need senior animal care, dog walking, cat sitting, etc - I’m your girl I work from home full time, so I have the flexibility to drop by in between meetings as needed. Just message me with details of what you’re looking for and I’m sure we can work something out :) I have plenty of grass and a dog park close by! I have two cats at home, but they are very chill and can get along with anybody
About: I grew up around animals of all shapes and sizes. From a Newfoundland and German Shepard to a tiny terrier and everything in between! Also had lots of small animals, even pet ducks! Mom worked in animal care and we’d follow her around learning all the breeds and their needs! My afternoons and early mornings are typically the most free. I miss growing up in a zoo, and love helping out my community where I can. My current home does not support boarding animals as it is too small, but I am happy to take care of your pets in the comfort of their own home!

Ronnie R.
“I have known Ronnie for over eight years and he has always shown great love and compassion towards all animals including dogs. Out of all pets that a person could have, I would say that Ronnie's favorite would have to be dogs. We use to be roommates and he watched other peoples dogs on numerous occasions and was very great at it. I could tell that he really enjoyed being around dogs. We also owned a cat together and he was such a great caregiver to our cat. Ronnie is a very responsible and caring man, he takes great pride in his work and has an enormous love for dogs. If there was one job that I know Ronnie would be excellent at, it would be a caregiver for dogs.”
Crystal C.
“Crystal has dog sat our pup in our home while we were on vacation multiple times over the last year. Our dog is not the easiest dog to take care of and Crystal made every effort to let Joni warm up to her. She was willing to come meet her before actually sitting for us. She is responsible, caring, and punctual. She loves dogs and will take great care of your home, pup. I'd highly recommend her.”

Carol J.
“Carol J. has been a dog walker for my sweet dog, Sullivan, since I got him four years ago! Carol has a key to my home, comes in three to five times a week at noon, gets Sullivan leashed up and takes him out for a walk. Rain, shine, snow, hot or cold, Carol ALWAYS shows up, loves my dog like he's her own and takes great care of him. I try not to be jealous, but I swear my Sullivan loves Carol as much as he loves me :) She always leaves a note before she goes home, with a short recap of their walking adventures. When you meet Carol, you will realize almost immediately that she is a true animal lover. She treats cats and dogs like they are her family. She has integrity and there is no one else I would want in my home, taking care of Sullivan, than Carol J. Give her a call...you'll be so glad you did!!”
