“Super sweet to help out super last minute as we got stuck 10 hours away. Our poor babies had pooped inside and she picked it all up so we wouldn’t come back to a total mess. She was also amazing with our GSD who can be shy/timid. We will definitely use her again!!”

“Nicole was fantastic dropping in our puppy while we out of town. She took her for walks, took many pictures and gave detailed reports each time. We’ll definitely be using Nicole again!”

“I needed recurring visits & Arrica was more than helpful with my dog! She truly saw my dog as her own & took wonderful care of him. Will be booking with her again if I need someone to drop in on him!”

“Vanessa was awesome! We only booked a drop in, but she helped us out a lot when we needed our girls to be taken potty while we were out of town for the day. Thank you again! We’ll definitely rebook in the future.”

“My cat had a wonderful time from Erin's visits while I was on a trip. Erin made sure all of his needs were met each day, and treated him to great play and birdwatching sessions!”

“This was our first time ever hiring a pet sitter so we didn’t quite know what to expect. We picked Lindsay based on her profile and reviews and we liked that she lived really close. We met her and immediately knew that she would be great with our two cats and dog. They all immediately took to her as well which was a great sign! We only did a two day one night trip but we will definitely look forward to having Lindsay watch our pets again! She communicated how they were doing and sent lots of great pictures. Thank you so much for taking such good care of our pets while we were able to go on a quick trip. Looking forward to longer trips in the future and I’ll know that our pets are in great hands!”


“Ron is great and SO reliable. I never wonder for even a moment whether he’ll show up as scheduled or care for our dogs as we request. I can see in the photos he takes that the dogs greet him at the door with toys to show off to him — an unmistakable sign that they are happy to see him!”

“Taylor came twice a day for a week. She was great, on time and communicative - I loved getting the pictures! I will definitely use Taylor again the next time I travel.”

About: Hi, I’m Chris! Dogs have always been a huge part of my life—I’ve spent 30+ years caring for pets for friends and family and I volunteer at a local shelter as a dog walker. I work from home and now have the flexibility to spend more time doing what I love: keeping good dogs (and cats) company. Your dog will get plenty of attention, care, and a walk they’ll look forward to. With a work-from-home schedule, I’m able to offer flexible, attentive care for your pup. We regularly walk around Loose Park and the Plaza and would love to include your dog. When visiting your home, I make sure each walk is tailored to your neighborhood and your dog’s routine. I provide a safe, structured, and attentive environment tailored to each dog’s needs. I take the time to understand your pet’s routine—feeding, exercise, and any specific preferences—so they feel comfortable and cared for from the start. In your home, I’m respectful and detail-oriented, ensuring doors, gates, and leashes are handled carefully at all times. Walks are attentive and controlled, with a focus on safety, awareness, and your dog’s comfort level. With my background in shelter volunteering, I’m experienced with a range of temperaments and prioritize calm, positive interactions. I also provide regular updates, so you can feel confident your dog is in good hands while you’re away.
“Jasmine has been a lifesaver for the 2 kitties! They were available on short notice and have gone above and beyond to help with the cats health needs. Jasmine was communicative and sent lots of photos! I would highly recommend Jasmine!!”

“This was the second time that Rachel took care of my boy while I was away, and this time it was a longer trip! She was wonderful, in playing with him, petting him, & responding promptly to my messages about him. She also threw out a dirty cat water filter for me & checked the auto feeder for me when I had some concerns about it. The other great thing was she sent through some great photos of my little boy.”

About: My husband, Noah, and I love animals of all shapes and sizes. We work together to give your pet the attention, care, and love that they deserve. We are avid walkers and love to play, so we can’t wait to walk and play with your pet. My goal is a happy, healthy, and safe pet all while having fun and spending quality time together. We are happy to take dogs for hikes and extra long walks. Just send me a message! I work Monday through Friday from 8am until 4pm. I am available for drop ins and walks before and after work and anytime on weekends. My husband Noah has a more flexible schedule. I take care of client’s home as if it were my home. It is important for me to feel at home and safe, so that in turn the dog(s) feel more at home and safe with me.

About: Hi, I’m Sandy! 🐾 I have over 8 years of experience caring for dogs for friends, family, and clients. As a lifelong dog lover and dog owner myself, I understand that pets are family and deserve to be treated with love, patience, and attention. In addition to raising and caring for my own dogs, I worked at a doggy daycare in Los Angeles for a year and a half after COVID, where I gained hands-on experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. Before moving to Kansas City, I also provided in-home care for an Celebrity’s Pomeranian, staying at the owner’s home to ensure their pet felt safe, comfortable, and well cared for while they were away. Since relocating to Kansas City, I’ve cared for two Afghan Hounds through overnight house sitting, including a senior dog that required extra attention and care. Whether your pet is young and energetic or older and needs a gentler approach, I am committed to providing reliable, loving care tailored to their needs. I’m also a proud first-time cat owner and have experience cat sitting for friends in Los Angeles. I understand that cats need patience, comfort, and personalized care to feel safe and happy while you’re away. 🐾 My goal is to make both pets and owners feel comfortable, confident, and stress-free while they’re apart. I treat every dog as if they were my own and look forward to meeting your furry family member! Pet care is a natural part of my daily life. As a pet owner myself, I understand the importance of maintaining routines, providing exercise, playtime, companionship, and lots of love. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets the attention they deserve, whether it's daily visits, walks, overnight stays, or extended care. I make it a priority to keep owners updated and ensure their pets feel safe, comfortable, and happy while they're away. My top priority is making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their familiar environment. I follow each pet's routine closely, including feeding schedules, exercise, medications, and any special instructions provided by the owner. With experience caring for puppies, senior dogs, cats, and multiple breeds, I understand that every pet has unique needs. When house sitting, I treat both your pet and your home with the utmost respect, providing attentive care, companionship, and regular updates for your peace of mind.
“Ella was SO great!! Helped me out with our dog rather last minute, and was very accommodating when we needed to add extra drop ins. She communicated well and was able to do a few quick things for us at the house too. My dog is not the biggest fan of people she doesn’t know so it was a relief to find someone that was so accommodating. Highly recommend! .”

“Caitlin is the absolute best! I continue to rebook her because she really goes above and She's very responsible and punctual! Most importantly my pup loves her!”

About: I have been entrusted with the care of many friends and neighbors pets since I was 10 years old. I have my own cat, Pidge, who I trained to go on walks and do tricks. He’s very friendly and people oriented. I just adopted an Aussie puppy and have been adapting her to the world and keeping her mentally stimulated. I am a detail oriented and thorough sitter. If your pet has special quirks or needs I am more than willing to abide! I can go over their training, take them on a walk and prepare special treats or meals. Anything to ensure my visit is as close to their usual routine as possible. Your pets comfort and care is my top priority. My schedule works perfectly for date nights, concerts, and any special events you may have in the evening during the week. Weekends I’m fully available. If you want your dog to get some socialization I’m also willing to orchestrate a play date with my dog (after an initial meet with you present). I would love to check in on your pet or take your dogs (or cats) for a walk! I work full time so I am available on weekdays in the morning, evening and overnight. Weekends all day. I can visit after work and take them on a walk, feed them, let them out to potty, check their food/water, do some training, etc. I am detail oriented and will make sure I follow the specific routine and guidelines you require for your pet. In my own home I have a daily schedule for my puppy’s training in 10min increments to maximize her training and behavioral development, as well as give her my undivided attention in the hours she’s awake. I wouldn’t hesitate to go above and beyond for your pets as well. I care about the well being and safety of all animals and will make sure every pet in your home is treated with respect.

Melissa was outstanding with Luna!! We had a meet-and-greet before our first day to make sure Luna was comfortable. She immediately gravitated to Melissa, who was diligent in asking questions and making sure she would be as prepared as possible. Melissa was a fantastic communicator, quick to respond and provided amazing updates with lots of great pictures! We will absolutely be working with Melissa again and have already requested her for another visit for Luna!

Cara was wonderful to our kitties while we were out of town! She took exceptional care of them and gave us thorough updates. She was very accommodating to one of our cats being a bit finicky, too. We’re so thankful to have worked with her and spill definitely hire her again.

Lizzy was amazing for our dog and cat! She went above and beyond to care for both of them, wrote detailed updates on each visit, and provided great company to them both. We've never felt better heading out of town knowing that they were so cared for. Definitely recommend Lizzy, she's awesome!

Whitney is an absolute lifesaver! She was incredibly flexible with my last-minute request and took such great care of Loko while I was away. She sent constant photo updates, communicated perfectly, and I came home to a very happy, well-cared-for pup. Highly recommend!

Noelle is fantastic! She's very nice and took great care of my cats while we were gone. She sent me wonderful pics of them playing so I had total peace of mind while she was looking after them. I'll be booking her to drop in on my pets for as long as she's available to do it!

Sharon was the best pet sitter! When our litter box had some issues & our cats had a couple of accidents, she was so understanding & patient. She seriously went above & beyond with caring for our cats. I would recommend Sharon to anyone looking for a pet sitter. 10/10
