Dog Sitting in Independence

“Katie always gives the best care to our cats, including giving medicine to our two special needs cats. She is highly recommended by us for her promptness, dependability and care.”

About: Raised with dogs and always been around them for the past 29 years of my life. I've also pet-sat for cats since 2012 and have lived with them since 2020. I currently have 4 cats, and a dog I share custody of with my parents. I love parks, going on walks or hikes, and always follow hygiene procedures. Cleaning litter is no problem. I have minor dog training experience and will always ask what commands you want me to remain consistent on. I have experience giving cats and dogs oral medication via syringe and pill, and am familiar with specific dietary and medical needs. If your pet needs extra mobility help I am here for them, too. What sets me apart is that I am reliable, calm, and enthusiastic about all animals. I have recently returned to university, so my schedule is very flexible. Most of my classes are online. Every week I check what needs to be done for the next week so that I can plan the best patterns for work, study, and life. Staying up late or Waking up early is no problem. The first thing I do in respect to any client is get to know what expectations are and a brief history of the pet and their needs. Setting firm boundaries while expressing deep compassion and care is my go-to. I adore playing with active pets and giving them plenty of cuddles and attention - but if a pet is skittish of strangers or doesn't like being touched I will always give them the space they need to be themselves. Trust is a two-way street and as a human it is my responsibility to bridge the language gap with patience, love, and consistency. Making sure pets are safe and accommodated for in weather is a priority, whether that is in the form of hydration, giving them a coat, or assuaging their fears.

“Alex was amazing and sent pics of my baby to make sure I felt so secure that he was in good hands…..10 out of 10 would reach out to her again to take care of my baby.”

“We’re so grateful to have found Tiffany to care for Hank while we were away. She’s an excellent communicator, and we truly appreciated the detailed updates and photos she sent throughout our trip. Hank looked happy and well cared for in every picture, which gave us tremendous peace of mind. We will absolutely be booking with Tiffany again and can’t recommend her highly enough!”

About: I’ve had dogs since I was young. As well as taking care of many of my neighbors/ relatives animals. I have also taken care of dogs and cats young and old and I am volunteering at KC Pet Project. I’m currently a college student home for the summer and will have a part time job. I would be excited to take care of your pets in between! I feed, bathe, brush, and exercise my own dog and have since I was young. For the neighbors pets I have cleaned up and ensured they had the proper amount of food and water and giving them enrichment.

“Autumn has watched our dog over a long weekend at her home and dropped in to let our dog out while we were out of town for the day. She always sends us pictures and keeps us updated on how she’s doing. She does a great job!”

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 5 years old. Always had a dog in the house growing up till I moved out. I used to dog/house sit for family friends who had really big dogs and small dogs. I’ve handled big dogs like Newfoundlands and St. Bernard’s as well as other dogs like boarder collies and golden retrievers. I’m currently off for the summer due to being a High School teacher. I coach in the mornings and evenings but my middle day and weekends are really open. Would be available anytime from 11am to 4pm regularly I live in an apartment that is right next to a dog park/fenced area. It is also near the little blue trail way which is great for walking and exploring.

About: I’m a responsible elementary teacher with a strong background in pet and home care, offering dependable Rover house and pet sitting services with excellent availability during the summer months. I’ve been dog sitting, cat sitting, and house sitting since I was 14 years old, giving me years of hands-on experience with animals of all ages and breeds. As a pet owner myself, I have cared for our family dog, a 10-year-old German Shepherd, so I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and attentive care. I bring the same level of responsibility, organization, and trustworthiness from my teaching career into every home and pet I care for, ensuring both pets and owners feel comfortable and confident. I am a elementary school teacher, so my summers are free! I have pretty open availibilty every day, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pet, take them for walks, and house sit. During the school year, I work 8am-4pm. I would be able to stop by after 4pm on week days, and open availibilty on weekends. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I create a calm, clean, and structured environment where pets feel secure and cared for in their home. I closely follow all routines, feeding schedules, and any special instructions to keep things consistent and stress-free. I’m attentive to behavior and health, ensuring pets are supervised, taken on walks, and never put in unsafe situations. As a responsible and dependable caregiver, I treat every home with respect and every pet like family. I also love sending photo updates for pet parents who enjoy regular check-ins, so you can feel confident, connected, and at ease while you’re away.

“Caitlin was wonderful at taking care of my two spoiled enormous dogs! This is the first time we've used a pet sitter and we will be using Caitlin's services in the future. The dogs were more relaxed being at home and frankly I was relaxed on vacation. She gave them medicine they needed and kept us updated with lots of pics and it was truly a great experience.”

About: I've worked in the field of caring for others for a long time..babies, children and/ or adults with special needs, elderly, dogs, cats, you name it! I have fostered several dogs and even a cat! I have had cats in the past. I have owned and helped care for friends and families’ dogs, cats, lizards, snakes, guinea pigs, etc. I'll be devoted to providing the best care and fun for your fur-babies as I can! I'm reliable and responsible and I love animals. I have 2 dogs and I have consistently been a hand in helping friends and family with their animals in a pinch because I love spending time with animals. I have a big heart and I love to have fun and play sessions with almost all animals. I'm very attentive of dogs' needs and care for their happiness a great deal. I love give them hugs and kisses (if they allow it)..I promise to follow all instructions as best as I can and give the best care to every animal I meet! My full time schedule is 9am to 6pm. I do house sitting, which means I will stay with your pets at night. I also do drop in visits and dog walking so my schedule books up quick, but that’s the way I like it! I also have 2 dogs that I make sure to see every day as well, and my Great Dane goes to training classes for obedience (now) and later will go for therapy. I don’t live alone so they have someone else to help me care for them so that I can Rover as much as possible :) I am flexible when caring for dogs in your home and can meet you where you’re at. I 100% know that every dog is different just like every person is different. I celebrate difference and strive to help where I can. I work with integrity and, of course, respect.

About: I have 8 plus years of dog/house sitting experience and have found a love for taking care of other's fur babies. Over my years of experience, I have loved to see the love families have for their doggies. You can trust that while you are away, I will send you pictures and updates on how your fur baby is doing! I also believe that one should always leave a space better than they found it. I will take care of your space and treat it respectfully. I am currently in college finishing it fully online. This gives me the flexibility to do it anywhere, like the comfort of a home while I am taking care of one's pup. I also have a part-time job that varies in days and times. I can provide you with that schedule upon request that lets you know the times I would be away from your pet:) Growing up we always had dogs in our home, from two chocolate Labrador retrievers to now a little Chorkie named Lilly. Living here I am away from her, by providing this service I get to love on other's dogs! I love to be outside such as taking walks around town or going on a beautiful Colorado hike. I am very flexible and realize every fur baby might need something different. I am happy to accommodate to whatever your pup enjoys. From cuddles and watching movies to playing fetch - we can do it all. For any overnight pet/house sitting, I will always spend the night so your dog will never be left alone for the night. I will also provide my schedule to you upon request so you know the time I will be spending with your pet/ at your home.

About: Hi! I’ve been dog sitting for family and friends for over 8 years, and what started as helping loved ones has grown into a passion for pet care. I’m currently a student at KU Med and work part-time at a local daycare and boarding facility. Here I get hands on experience with dogs of all breeds and sizes. With my background, I’m confident caring for pups of all types and their needs. I offer overnight stays, drop-in visits, playtime, and walks! With plenty of extra love and snuggles:) I’m currently looking to take on a few extra furry clients while I’m in school, and I’d love to meet your pet! I serve the Independence, Blue Springs, and Lee’s Summit areas. I’m currently a student at KU Med and work part-time alongside my studies. I have a flexible schedule that allows for drop-in visits during the week, as well as overnight care on weekends! I’m happy to come to your home for playtime or overnight stays so your pup can remain in their most comfortable environment. I make it a priority to review and fully understand all care instructions beforehand, and I’m flexible in following any routines or methods that best suit your dog—because every pup has their own unique quirks! I’d also be glad to meet in advance to get to know you, your pup, and their specific needs.

About: I’ve been around pets of all kinds my whole life from cats and dogs to chickens and horses. I’ve also always helped my grandparents to feed and bath their babes I work full time but am available on weekdays or the weekends. My schedule with work is very flexible if it is needed. We go on nightly walks and frequent park visits. My three kids and I love animals, we have plenty of space to roam in the house or I also have a large fenced yard.

About: I have two fur babies of my own so I relate to the stress of finding the perfect sitter. I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life and caring for them has become a true passion of mine. Ace is a rescue who taught me the importance of trust and patience. Maple I have raised since she was 3 months old. Through my experience I’ve learned how to help a timid rescue dog feel safe, or keeping an energetic pup happily engaged. From daily walks, training, cuddles, and maintaining a routine I understand every dog has their own personality/needs and I love getting to know what makes each one special! At the moment I am only a part time student, so I have plenty of time to care for your fur baby and/or babies! Rest assured! When caring for a pet in your home my goal is to keep them comfortable, safe and happy! I’ll learn your routines including feeding times, walks, any medications or special instructions. I’ll take time to build trust so your pet will feel relaxed. You can count on regular updates and photos. I love getting to know your dogs personality and what makes them unique. I will treat your babies like family making sure they feel loved while also respecting the space of your home.

I also have beds and treats :)
