Ron took great care of our dogs over a five day period during a busy holiday season. His drop-in visits occurred in the schedule we had requested, and he managed the daily walks we had asked for in addition to the regular feeding, watering, and backyard visits. With all the real-time notices of his visits, and we were able to relax and enjoy our trip. Great experience!

About: I’ve cared for dogs my entire life and have experience with dogs at every stage of life, from newborn puppies to senior dogs requiring extra care. I’m comfortable administering medications and following detailed care instructions when needed. I also have experience working with dogs that have behavioral challenges such as separation anxiety, resource guarding, and reactivity. While I’m not a certified trainer, I’m very familiar with canine body language and believe strongly in calm, consistent handling. I’ve helped puppies learn leash walking, basic obedience commands (sit, stay, down, etc.), and have supported owners during early potty-training stages. For boarding, I do require that dogs are already potty trained so they can comfortably integrate into the household routine. Exceptions may be made on a case-by-case basis for an additional cost. My goal is always to create a calm, safe environment where each dog feels comfortable and well cared for. I care for pets full-time, which allows me to maintain a flexible schedule for walks, drop-ins, and boarding. Dogs staying in my home receive regular potty breaks, exercise, and supervision throughout the day. Because my schedule is flexible, I can accommodate morning, midday, and evening needs and will adapt to your dog’s routine so their schedule stays as consistent as possible. I prioritize a calm, safe environment for every dog in my care. I intentionally board dogs from only one household so each dog receives individual attention and a lower-stress environment compared to high-volume boarding homes. I have my own friendly dog, and I always ensure dogs are a good temperament match before confirming a stay. Meet-and-greets are encouraged so both dogs can become comfortable before the booking. I carefully follow each dog’s feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any medications or special instructions provided by the owner. Safety and consistency are always my top priorities.

Katy is wonderful with our senior cat, Fredo, who has special medical needs and likes a lot of attention. We always come home to a happy and content cat, so we know that Katy has taken great care of him while we were gone! We highly recommend her to anyone needing a pet sitter in the KC area.

Monet was great with our puppy! Hazel is a shy girl but she warmed up to Monet really quickly. One of the days she dropped in on Hazel it was storming so she took the extra effort to turn the TV on so Hazel had some noise to distract her from the storm. We look forward to continuing to work with Monet!

Cheyenne did an outstanding job making sure each of my cats were taken care of with care. She was particularly careful with the one very shy cat making sure she did not stress her, and made her as comfortable as possible. The kitties were very happy when I came home loving the attention, play time and care from Cheyenne. I highly recommend her!

About: Hi my name is Sanaa and I am currently on a path to care for animals and tend to their needs. Getting to know and understand your furry friends is what I am best at; things like what they need from attention to simple care. I myself have pets of my own that are in very good condition. I have 2 dogs. As a pet owner myself, I understand the great depths it takes to provide the best care. Being able to care for your pets is a one in a lifetime moment I wouldn’t want to miss. The thought and opportunity of being able to provide care to your furry friend makes my day light up and yours become relaxing. Pet care fits well into my schedule because I have flexible availability. I’m fully available on weekends and mostly available on Tuesdays and Thursdays, which allows me to provide consistent, unrushed care while sticking closely to your cat’s routine. 🐾 I care for pets in their own home whenever possible to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I follow all instructions closely, maintain clean litter boxes and feeding areas, respect routines, and provide calm companionship and updates so owners feel confident while away.

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.

About: I've grown up with dogs my whole life and had a mini dachshund for 15 years. Over the last decade I've been called on numerous times to watch and board dogs for friends, family and neighbors. I am a single dad who has custody of my kids 50/50 so when I don't have them I could give a dog my full attention and be its buddy! On weekends we could hit a trail or go for a long walk at a park. Monday through Friday I usually leave for work around 6:45 or 7, and will return home around 4 pm. And in the evening we'll hang out and have fun! I live within walking distances to a few parks for walks. The Trolley Trail is nearby too if your pet likes a bit of a longer walk.
