Dog Sitting in Independence

“Amy has been a great help to us! As a nurse my schedule can be unpredictable - but she is always reliable, kind and nurturing towards our dogs! I’m so grateful to have her around to help us with our two large and hyper dogs!”

About: I’ve had cats and dogs my whole life, and caring for pets has always been a joy, not a chore. I’ve loved checking in on my friends' pets while they’re away and have experience training my own dogs, volunteering at animal shelters, and providing attentive care to my senior pets. My pets are my family, so I understand how nerve-wracking it can be to leave them in someone else’s care. My goal is to give you peace of mind through reliable, trustworthy service and genuine love for animals. I look forward to meeting and caring for your furry family members! I work full-time, available after 5 PM on weekdays and all day on weekends. On Tuesdays and Fridays, I work from home and can do quick afternoon visits. I have a high-energy dog, so I understand the importance of daily walks! I'll ensure your pup gets plenty of sniffs and steps. My dog dislikes walking in the heat, and I always watch for her cues to let me know it's time to head home. I'll do the same for your dog, keeping them comfortable and safe.

“Octavia saved us with a no-notice booking after one of our boys decided he would rather chase snowflakes instead of going "potty' before we had to leave for work lol. She was prompt with her response and was incredibly flexible. The boys also love her!”

“Paige was excellent with our kitties. They warmed up to her pretty quickly. The care was excellent, she was so sweet with them, played with them, took care of their special needs and medications. The daily reports and pictures were delightful and thorough. She was everything we hoped for in a pet sitter. She's also very warm and friendly to us humans, too. Very respectful of our home, she even offered to handle a house-related issue for us that arose while we were away. We will definitely hire her again next time we need a sitter.”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for a year! Walking, feeding, and playing with family members dogs! I really enjoy spending time with all pets! I have a flexible weekly schedule in the summer. And when I’m back at school, I can do weekends only! Just depends when I’m home from school! I will walk, feed, and play with my client’s pets. If medicine is needed to be given, I can do that as well. Along with anything else that is necessary!

“I needed someone to let my dogs out in the mornings and Daisy was awesome! She was very consistent and always punctual, plus the dogs really loved her! She was also very patient when my key code system wouldn’t let her in. Overall, I highly recommend Daisy and will definitely hire her again in the future:)”

About: I am a dog trainer with moderate experience. I have pet-sat for many animals and have even trained a bird. I am gentle and loving, so any pet that approaches me is treated with care. I work full-time from Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 6 PM. I will be available after 6 PM on weekdays and from 9 AM to 6 PM on weekends. I will provide training, groom the animals, and feed them. I will give them exercise by taking them for walks and, if the dog is social, to a dog park.

About: Animals have always been my world. After losing my beloved dog, I want to spend my time doing what I love, bathing, feeding, training puppies, caring for seniors, and providing loving, dependable care for every pet I offer love, puppy training, senior care, and all-around pet pampering to keep tails wagging and whiskers happy. I’m an open book! With more free time in my schedule, I want to dedicate my days to something that truly brings me joy—caring for animals. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, bathing, puppy training, or senior pet care, I give every furry friend the same love and attention I would my own. Being able to fill my time surrounded by happy tails and purrs is exactly where I want to be. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I provide personalized, loving care based on each pet’s routine and personality. I make sure they have fresh food and water, daily walks or playtime, and plenty of affection. I can also handle bathing, feeding, administering basic medications, puppy training, and senior pet assistance. My goal is to keep pets comfortable, happy, and stress-free by maintaining familiar routines and giving them the same love and attention they’d get from their family.

“Brittany has done visits while I was out of town as well as walks for my golden retriever. She took great care of my baby while I was away. Even cuddled with my 70+pound baby who thinks he's a lap dog! Appreciated all the pictures and knowing he was with someone who loves animals as much as me! Thank you😀”

About: From backyard zoomies to bedtime snuggles, I’m here to make sure your pet feels right at home while you’re away. I’ve been in the pet-sitting world for 6+ years with overnight stays, in-home sitting, and even kennel boarding experience—so whether your pup’s a party animal or a cuddle bug, I’ve got them covered. At my house, it’s basically a doggy sleepover camp: 🎾 Fetch? Yes. 🐕 Runs and walks? You bet. 🧠 Practicing commands? Absolutely. 💊 Meds? I’ve got that handled too. Whether it’s snuggles on the couch, playful training sessions, or peaceful walks, I do it all—and I love every second of it. If your pet needs TLC, exercise, structure, or just a buddy to nap with, I’m your gal. Can’t wait to meet your furry family! I am in the pet care business right now, so I have a very flexible schedule! I have weekends off, and when I am working, I am only away from home for about four hours. I live with my boyfriend who will also have a different schedule than myself, so the house is never left empty for more than two hours! I live in a house, with a dog, who is very friendly and loves to play with other dogs! We have a fenced in backyard, so access to the potty all the time!

About: I provide attentive, compassionate care tailored to each pet’s unique needs. I have experience with everything from playful puppies to senior pets who need a little extra love and patience. I work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility — especially in the afternoons, evenings, and on weekends. This schedule allows me to be consistent and present for the pets I care for, whether that means drop-in visits, evening walks, or weekend stays At home, I treat my pets like family — they get lots of love, attention, and care tailored to their needs. I make sure they stay on a routine with regular meals, walks, playtime, and plenty of snuggles. I’m big on keeping their environment clean, safe, and calm. I bring that same level of care to every pet I look after in a client’s home, making sure they feel secure and loved, even when their people are away.

“Johnny was amazing! He took the time to give me a detailed message after every visit. 100% recommend!”

About: Offering walks around the neighborhood, potty breaks and hikes! Can also help lunch time potty breaks. Have been training, competing, exercising and hiking my pups for 20+ years. Both my pups are avid hikers and would you love to offer other pups the experience. All local trails - on leash - will send pics of your pups big day out! Is a hike on your pups bucketlist? We can make that happen. Hike length can be varied based on pup age and their fitness level. Can take well behaved pups siblings together. I can walk dogs early in the morning and in the evenings during the week. I am flexible with schedules and walks/hikes on the weekends. I can care for your pet based on your specific needs and instructions. We can tailor services to the personality and needs of your pets

“Krista was an absolute life saver! Very attentive to our babies. This was our first time using Rover and we’re a lil nervous but had no other choices for our kitty bc she has a back injury and can’t be boarded. We are very pleased with Krista and will continue to utilize her expertise for any future trips! A+++++ she sent a very detailed report each day with wonderful pictures. It made us feel like a family member was watching them.”

About: Hi my name is Ava! I am a dog owner and looking to care for other dogs as well. I have two Akitas at home so I sure know how to handle big dogs. I have had dogs my whole life. I also care for family pets often!!! I am planning on working in the veterinary field after college, so I want to get as much experience as I can!!!! Pet care is a necessity 24/7 for me! It includes taking out my dogs 4 times a day, feeding them twice a day, taking them to the vet, and groomer. Although I am unable to provide boarding for your pets, I have an acre long backyard that would certainly be enjoyed by your furry friends :)

About: I am currently the director of a local nonprofit cat rescue. We care for community cats. Many with special needs. Through this I have gained knowledge and experience with many medical situations. I can give sub-q fluids, injections and oral meds. I have the experience in handling animals that may need so extra time and care to trust. ​ I have experience caring for and walking dogs of all temperament and sizes. I have found that a good harness/lead that is tailored to fit your dog’s size and walking style is very helpful! Whether they want a quick walk around the block, or a hike on a trail, their adventure awaits with me! If you are looking for someone that you can trust to care for your pets. Look no further. Pet care is my full-time profession, and I’m available 7 days a week to ensure your pet receives personalized, loving attention. Whether you need 1-3 visits a day, a 30-minute walk, or a 1.5-hour adventure hike, I tailor my services to fit your pet’s unique needs. I also offer regular scheduling or house sitting for those times when you’re away. Message me today to secure your spot on my schedule and give your pet the care they deserve. Each care plan is uniquely tailored to both your needs and your pet’s personality. I ensure that all basic necessities are met while incorporating enrichment activities during every visit. I take the time to learn about your pet to create a plan that sets us up for success. For example, if your dog is leash or dog reactive, we will carefully avoid situations that might trigger them, while also working on desensitization and coping strategies to make your walks more enjoyable. For cats, my drop-in visits are similarly customized—not only do I address their fundamental care needs, but I also enrich their day by balancing cuddle time with playful interaction. I understand that while your pets are most comfortable at home, they miss you when you’re away, and I strive to fill that gap with as much love and attention as possible. I will make sure that your home is secure and your pets are safely tucked away when I leave. Dogs will stay in your fenced yard, or safely on a leash for walks.

About: I was raised with dogs, training them, loving them, caring for them. Recently our newest addiction to our household is Leo, our new Beagle pup. I train and walk him daily and give him all the joy and love all dogs deserve. I will treat your dog the same! I work part time at home and would love to walk your dog whenever you can't. I will treat them the same as my own - with love and respect. Many owners have different styles they use to train and discipline. I will respect your style and never stray from how you treat your own dog. I follow all your request.
