“Taylor was amazing and took such good care of our 2 cats while the family took off. Communication was great and she was a life saver by extending their care for an extra day. I will definetly rebook!”
2. Jessica M.
“Jessica is very nice and knowledgeable about dog behavior so I knew my boys were in good hands. It's freezing cold at home, but I knew I could still rely on her. The pictures at every visit kept my mind at ease. This was my first experience with Rover and Jessica was outstanding! So glad they got to stay home rather than some dumb kennel.”
3. Sarah W.
“Sarah is so easy to work with and my two golden girls love her! I've used her for drop-in visits a few times now and she's been great. Would definitely recommend! :)”
4. Kathryn H.
“Kathryn has dropped in to feed, play with, and check on my cat, Charlie, several times when I've been away, and I am very impressed with her. One thing I really appreciate about Kathryn is that she lets you know when she is on her way to check on your pet. This proved particularly helpful when I realized I made a booking error one evening. I noticed it was past the scheduled time, and Kathryn hadn't said she was coming over or started the check-in. I looked at the app and realized I had booked for the next week. I contacted Kathryn, and thankfully, she was available to check on my cat that evening. This instance shows how flexible and helpful she is. Even without this situation, I would only have good things to say about Kathryn. She is always on time, and if something comes up, she lets you know. Plus, Kathryn takes some really cute pictures!”
5. Samantha J.
“Samantha was wonderful with my cats! She sent great photos and gave detailed updates. She truly made me feel like she cared deeply about my cats’ wellbeing while I was away and made me less worried about being away!”
6. Taylor S.
“I’m so happy I found Taylor! She’s so great with my dog, Stella. I trust her with a key to my house and my dog. Taylor is friendly, reliable, and trustworthy! You won’t regret having her watch your fur baby!”
7. Ashlyn Z.
“Ashlyn is a great communicator and does amazing with our three legged pup Bill.”
8. Regan D.
“Regan was great! Traveling for work is taxing on both owner and pet but I felt that my pup was in great hands. All her needs were met and more.”
9. Taylor M.
“Taylor has done overnight stays and day stays with my three high maintenance dogs and she does a great job each time. One of my dogs has special needs and can be overwhelming for sitters so it also feels great to know she was able to befriend her enough to put her at ease for future stays. Highly recommend.”
10. Tyler K.
“Tyler was extremely respectful towards me and he listened to exactly what needed to be done to take care of our animals. You could tell that our dogs instantly felt comfortable with him. He took extra good care of our dog who was hurt and gave him his medication.”
11. Valerie W.
“Valerie is amazing. Our dogs love her and she always sends the cutest photos. She plays fetch with our hyper dog and cuddles with our lazy dog. She will definitely be my go to when I need a sitter”
12. Elizabeth K.
“Did a great job taking care of our pup”
13. Amanda F.
“Amanda is so responsible and always on time when she drops in to visit Luna! I only trust her with my dog, and I try to book her all the time. She was even able to watch Luna when I gave her short notice which was awesome!”
14. Wendy S.
“Wendy was amazing!! She is so communicative and great with my cats. She sent tons of pictures and made me feel much more comfortable leaving my pets.”
15. Jesse S.
About: I’ve had pets all my life. I’ve cared for my own cats for around 5 years, and I’ve have a senior chihuahua for about a year, but I’ve lived around cats and dogs since I was a baby, and I’ve always been very happy to just hang out with animals and make sure they’re having a great time. I have experience caring for senior animals and giving medication to cats and dogs. I’m very tall and able to handle rowdier dogs. I have experience caring for pit bulls and Sheppard mixes. I’m here to give all animals the best care possible! I prioritize my pets daily. Before I do anything else, I make sure the cats have food, the dog’s gone out, and the litter boxes are clean. My dog gets a pill every other day, so I make sure he’s up to date on his medication. I make sure I know what each animal needs and what has to happen to make sure they stay safe and happy. I work from home, so I usually get to spend a lot of time with my fur babies, and it’s the best. I’m careful to make sure all set boundaries are followed and kept. If I am going into someone else’s home, I make sure animals stay where they’re supposed to and I clean up any messes that may occur. I believe in keeping a clean home and making sure all animals have what they need before I move on to other things. Just tell me the house rules!
16. Rachel K.
“Rachel is the BEST. We take our dog everywhere with us unless we have to fly; so it’s extra hard to leave him behind if we have to. I never have to worry about him as long as I know he’s with Rachel. She loves him like we do. The best feeling for any pet parent.”
17. Maka M.
“Maka took amazing care of my boy typheous. She sent many pictures of my boy and sent constant check ins. I choose her each time I need a pet sitter!”
18. Jada H.
“I highly recommend Jada as a pet sitter! She has helped me care for many foster animals over the years, including senior pets and those needing special attention, such as administering medication. Her love for animals is evident in everything she does, and she has a natural ability to connect with them. She’s reliable, attentive, and genuinely cares about their well-being. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or cuddles, she ensures every pet feels loved and cared for. Your furry friends will be in great hands with her!”
19. Joshlyn G.
“Joshlyn was a great dog sitter/walker for my pitbull and labradoodle while i was on a special project last month. She was very reliable & never cancelled during my 10 & occasionally 12 hr work days. Joshlyn sent text messages & photo updates regularly plus my 2 boys loved her as much as I did.”
20. Abigail S.
About: I have over 20 years of experience caring for animal companions. While I grew up with dogs and cats, I have worked as a vet assistant and kennel technician at Kansas City area shelters. I also became a certified death doula through CareDoula School of Accompanying the Dying in 2018. I have supported many foster and hospice pets and stray and owned animal companions at the end of their life, and as they pass on. In addition, I am currently enrolled in an animal chaplaincy program and is set to finish in June 2025. As a note to potential clients, I prefer to be called AJ and my pronouns are they/them. Thank you for your time! I'm self employed and have a flexible schedule, so I'm here to help you and your pet at any time! While I tend to gravitate toward senior pet clients, I enjoy taking care of special needs pets and all others, too! I follow all rules and requests outlined by pet parents. I take your pet's health very seriously. While I don't board in my home at this time, this service may be available in the future. I also am insured through Pet Sitters Associates.
