Pet Sitting & Drop Ins in Ivanhoe Southeast, Kansas City, MO

“Taryn was wonderful! She was kind, respectful, and made me feel like taking care of my kitty wasn’t just a job. She made him feel really at home and he can be pretty shy. I loved seeing the daily pictures. She was very flexible with my schedule as well which I so appreciate!! Would definitely recommend to anyone and would book again for sure. This was my first time using Rover and it was a lovely experience with her.”

“Noelle was great! Ellie took to her right away and I had zero issues or concerns while I was gone. Noelle even came over just to spend time with Ellie on her own. I am happy Ellie has another person and will be using Noelle again! Thank you!”

“Taylor took care of Charly very well, even being able to send me photos of my very shy cat. She also handled a difficult situation with tenacity and determination while I was away, for which I am very grateful. Taylor did an excellent job.”

About: With over 50 years of hands-on experience in pet care. I've dedicated my life to understanding and supporting the well-being of animals, especially dogs. For 8 years, I have worked as a veterinary technician, where i gained in-depth medical knowledge and practical skills in animal heath, emergency care and preventative treatment. My background also includes extensive experience in both basic and advanced dog training focusing on obedience, behavior modification and building strong bods between pets and their owners. Over the decades I've cared for animals of all ages, breeds and temperaments - from raising litters of puppies and kittens to providing compassionate support for senior pets. My approach combines patience, consistency and a deep respect and love for every animal's unique personality and needs. Things to consider prior to booking: • Are they friendly with other pets? I have one dog and 3 cats in our home. • Are they able to jump a 5ft fence? • Are they protected against Heartworm, Fleas and Ticks? • Potty Trained? I am happy to help train but just need to know ahead of time. • Up to date on all vaccines? • Big chewers? • Let us know if your pet has any special need or accommodation we should account for! I can accommodate a variety of needs! I am happy to provide whatever care your pet needs & make sure they are happy & comfortable in our home. A few things to know about what I offer: 100% Love and Care I take photos of your pet (I am not a professional photographer) – I will try not to overwhelm you! I do not require a meet and greet but am happy to do so. My preference is to introduce your pet(s) to mine slowly and very controlled environment. SAFETY is my #1 Concern for your pets and for mine. What to bring for your stay: Collar with a tag & leash Food (Label with the amount per meal) - Slow feeder if needed Medications, if needed Kennel (for boarding stays) - Anything to make them comfortable in their kennel (blanket, toys, bed) I generally don’t use a kennel if they are good house guests (no destruction or accidents) they can have house privileges. I will provide: Water Bowls (I have many throughout the house and outside) Foods Bowls Toys - Treats - Chew bones & treats Dog beds around the house (I have many) A Typical Day can be: Wake up and take them out to potty (I have a big, fenced back yard). Feed them breakfast Out for potty about 2 hours (or sooner) after breakfast. Relax, play and/or snooze as they want. Potty breaks are directed by their needs, they let me know they need to potty, and we go outside (I am their servant, and I stay with them while they are outside). They potty and play and then we come in. This goes on all day as needed. Cuddles on command and if they just want to lay around, I’m ok with that as well. I have taken all my dogs (past and present) through many different levels of training session – Puppy, Basic and Advanced. Let me know what you need, and I am happy to help. SPECIAL NOTE with Regard to Cats Cats do their own things and totally dictate their day to day and I respect and honor their wishes! I do have a room set up that they can call their own (if needed) and I have a secure Catio they can hang out in and enjoy fresh air. I am retired and love to help people and their pets. I have lots of free time and want to offer my knowledge and experience to people who have busy lives but want the best for their furbabies. I live on 3/4 acre and I have a large fenced in back yard. I do have a dog and 3 cats at home so any pets that need to be watched at my home need to be able to get along with them. I am dependable, trustworthy and honest and can also take care of your pets in your home. If you need to know anything else, please ask.

About: Hi there! My name is Taylor and I would love to assist you and your fur baby's needs. I understand that pets are family and I will treat them with the same love, attention and respect they deserve. What sets me apart is my commitment to making each visit meaningful - engaging pets in ways that enrich their day...not just to fill time. I will provide efficient and attentive services that prioritize your pet's emotional and physical well-being because who doesn't love a smiling, happy pet at the end of the day! Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize. While I do work full time, I have reliable availability in the mornings and evenings to provide consistent care. Whether it's an early morning walk, dinner time check-in, or some evening playtime, I will make sure each visit is meaningful and fits smoothly into your pet's schedule as well as mine. I will ensure I create a safe, comfortable and engaging environment for your pet. I live in a very dog-friendly apartment complex with plenty of green space including a secure dog run for play and potty breaks. I also enjoy taking walks so your pet will get plenty of fresh air and exercise. Whether it is playtime, relaxing indoors or neighborhood strolls, I will make sure your pet feels right at home.

“We had Vanessa watch our two young cats over Thanksgiving week. Vanessa was great with them and with us - attentive to their needs and very responsive to us. Our favorite was the pictures she shared in the after-visit reports, and our cats’ favorite was seeing their new buddy. Vanessa was very respectful, professional, and kind. Would definitely ask Vanessa to come back in the future!”

“Caitlin was awesome with our giant lap dogs! We typically book drop in visits and have had others just let them outside by themselves, but she took the time to sit and play fetch with them during her visit. She even brought our packages in if we had any. We would highly highly recommend!”

Sarah R.

“Carmen and Katie were amazing! They were always on time and sent us lots of (happy) pictures of our furbaby. Ping-Pong is elderly and needs meds twice a day. All meds were dispensed as directed and cuddles were given liberally. We will use them again and I highly recommend them! I guarantee you and your furbabies will not be disappointed!”

About: I am a third year veterinary student in KC for the summer at an internship! I have worked as a Veterinary Assistant for 6 years now and have gained experience in handling and working with all breeds and sizes of dogs, as well as cats. I have also been petsitting for family friends for 5 years and have plenty of experience making pets feels comfortable while their owner is away. I am comfortable handling any dog or cat, with anything from giving medications to your senior pup to walks and exercise for the more energetic ones! I’m currently working full-time during the week with some evening hours available. I am also typically available all day during the weekend and on most holidays. As I am currently renting, I am not able to care for pets in my own home. However, I am more than willing to travel and take care of your fur-baby in the comfort of their own home! I have been trained on how to handle all types of animals with care and respect towards them, and would feel comfortable assisting with any training you are working with them on. Most of all, I absolutely love to hang out with any animal and would be honored to care for your fur baby!

“Tara was wonderful and very communicative. I knew the cats were in good hands!”

About: I’ve always loved animals especially cats. I first started pet sitting at age 12 and have tons of experience sitting for cats, dogs, Guinea pigs, and homes (including overnight). I’m working part time, so I have flexibility with your schedule and pets needs with food or walks starting in May through around mid July. I can tailor care to your pets and home’s unique needs. This includes feeding, playing and petting cats/dogs, walking dogs, watering plants, taking in mail, etc.

About: What sets me apart is that i catch on very fast I’m outgoing and pets love being around me I love playing going for walks and cuddles playing games or just sitting with them they will feel the love and wanna come back I’m free anytime and can make my own schedule rather it’s morning afternoon or over night I can figure it out and put it in my schedule Both it depends on the situation. But mainly in home at my place I have the space and room to do so it would be easy

“Ashley is great! She has done drop-in visits for my cat on two occasions when I was out of town. I will continue to ask for her help in the future - so glad I found Ashley!”
