About: Hey there! I've been volunteering at animal shelters since I was 10 years old and have therefore trained and taken care of every kind of dog and cat you can think of. I stopped volunteering because I would get so attached to all the animals I raised and then they would get adopted - great for them, hard for my heart. I have a deep love for animals & for exercise but a limited amount of house 😂 so I thought helping others take care of their animals would scratch my itch. And I'm trying to find ways to pay down the debt quickly younger me created when I was "finding myself"🙄 so this seemed like a fun way to do it. Choose me if you want someone who will ~Love your pet as hard as you ~Provide a little training while they're with me. Even on small things like how to walk better on a leash. ~Give you updates like pics and videos so you can see what they're up to and be at ease. ~Upon request make them some homemade treats which my 2 doggos love dearly. I am currently a full time stay at home mom and small business owner so my schedule is very flexible. I need a short notice I just fit into whatever your routine is and add in extra belly rubs and toys to make it a chill experience for your pets.
“Maggie has been walking my dog for a couple months now and she does a great job. She is flexible with my schedule and good with changing times based on weather also. Lenny enjoys his walks with Maggie!”
“Tyler was reliable & so kind. My husband broke his wrist and I'm working over time.. so our poor boy Teddy hasn't been out much. Thank you so much for coming this morning!!! We appreciate it so much!”
“Alyssa was the first person I contacted when I came to Kansas City. She was immediately available and arranged to meet my dog Two Bit, who loved her. She took great care of him and kept me notified of what was happening. I have already arranged a second session and will continue to use her services.”

I have a very flexible schedule ready to fit your needs! Experience with puppies and daily medication needs. I am a full time online student at Oregon State University.

About: I grew up with dogs and cats, have fostered in the past, and continue to care for my friend’s pets while they are away. I am open to house-sit, drop in, or go on however long of a walk your best friend needs. I have a lot of experience taking care of pets in their own homes, making sure they are safe and comfortable. I have experience with different breeds and temperaments - cuddlers, partiers, grouches, and loungers all deserve love! I can’t wait to spend time with your best friend and give you peace of mind. I work full time, but work from home Mondays and Fridays. Currently I could do drop-ins and walks anytime Fridays through Mondays. For Tuesday through Thursday, I would only be available early morning and evening.

We can discuss if midday drop-in or walk are needed on the days i’m in the office. Drop-ins include feeding, water refresh, play/potty time, and quick updates. Walks include a 30-minute walk at your dog’s usual pace, leash handling, water refill if needed, and notes to the owner. If your dog needs longer than 30 minutes, Incan also do a longer walk for an hour. I make a point to ensure pets are following their schedules and any training they are working on. I always make sure to double check any needs/wants with the owner, to make sure pets are at their most comfortable. Let me know how your pet thrives in their environment, the more details the better! I will keep you updated on anything you specifically ask, or of any questions I might have that will help me get to know your pet better.

It’s so comforting to know he is in good hands!”

I highly recommend her to anyone who is seeking a caring and attentive dog caregiver.”

“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.”
Kate H.
“I have known Kate for literally 20 years and she has always shared my love of dogs. We both had Boston Terriers growing up and recently have traded taking care of each others dogs while we are away. Dave and Toby, her dogs, are amazing and she has given them both an amazing home in KC. Dave was a rescue and did take a while to get used to things, but now in his old age he is as comfortable as could be. Toby is the new puppy, helping Dave in cope with is later years, and really invigorates him again. Kate is supper supportive of not only her dogs, but the dog community. She encourages responsible ownership, is very down to earth, loves nature, activity, and being with our doggy buddies. She would make a great team member for the the Rover Team.”

Luz is great with my dog Frida. She is a great communicator and trustworthy. She sends me regular updates and cute photos of Frida having a great time getting her exercise and playtime. I will book with Luz again, everytime.
My dog is still raving about his time with Madeleine. She took him for a long walk and I’d highly recommend her services!
Quinlin did a great job with my dogs! Just got a new puppy a few weeks ago. Normally work from home but had a last minute thing come up where I had to be at the office all day and he was super flexible about the last minute request. Did a great job communicating and sent photos of them playing outside. Would definitely recommend!
