“We were so relieved to have Olivia take care of our cat Simon while we were gone for 8 days. She gave us reports and took pictures to let us know how he was doing. Simon really warmed up to her. We will definitely use her again.”
About: I have many years of experience with house and pet sitting while living in Colorado. Any of my past clients there would tell you they trusted me implicitly with their homes and their pets. I was given total access to their homes on a permanent basis by most to step in when my services were needed. This resulted in months at a time being booked solid for my services. I fall in love with your dogs and cats that I take care of and I treat them with kindness as if they were my own. I have handled numerous pets with special needs and medications,, etc. I live slightly north of Kansas City, but am available for anyone in the metro area and surrounding communities.
About: Howdy there & nice to meet you, I am a kindred soul who has experience working in doggy day cares/boarding camps as well as volunteering hours at various local animal shelters. I am an aspiring pet groomer and will be taking classes for that soon as well. I turned my passion to vibe with furry friends into paid play dates. I am a natural care giver and would love to meet your little (or big) one! I work a hybrid remote job so my schedule is super flexible. I have to already incorporate my schedule around my rightfully spoiled only child (Lincoln, my 8-year old Husky mix). I also combine pet care time with my self-care routine for exercise/physical activity. (Work smarter not harder). I have a fenced yard/porch, as well as a doggy door built into the door that leads to said yard/porch and security cameras that cover the yard so we can always see what's going on. As well as various toys, treats, and walking equipment always available to all our furry friends.
About: I’ve taken care of puppies and other small dogs since I was 15. Neighbors and friends and family have relied on me to watch, walk and feed their fur babies. I’m currently a stay at home mom so I’ll be able to walk anytime. I try to get out in the fresh air daily as needed. So excited! I have a friendly, lovable dog that will keep you fur baby company. I also will make sure the pet is well feed. I can easily crate if needed.
“Victoria took great care of my cat! My cat was definitely nervous when I dropped her off, but when I picked her up she looked comfortable. There are two other cats in the home, with whom my cat learned to get along. The sitter was quick to respond to all of my questions, and was ready for me when I arrived. There is plenty of room in the sitter's home for my cat to explore, including a spare room, which can be helpful for a pet when first starting out in a new environment. Overall, a fantastic stay for my cat!”
About: I treat every dog like family—not just a job. I learn their quirks, their favorite toys, and what makes their tail wag. I build trust with both dogs and their humans, creating a calm, loving environment that feels like home. I will ALWAYS send updated pictures a videos! Even with a full-time job, pet care is a priority I plan around, not squeeze in. I only accept clients I can fully commit to—meaning your pet gets the time, energy, and attention they deserve. I offer early morning, evening, and weekend care, and I’m highly organized to keep everything running smoothly. Pet care isn’t a side hustle for me—it’s a passion I build into my daily life. When pets stay with me, they become part of the family. I provide a safe, clean, and cozy environment with plenty of playtime, cuddles, and structure. I stick closely to their home routines—feeding, walks, medications, and bedtime habits—so they feel secure and comfortable. I make sure they get mental stimulation, physical activity, and lots of love throughout the day. In-home care means your pet stays in their familiar space, which helps reduce stress. I keep everything consistent with your instructions—from feeding and potty breaks to walks, play, and downtime. I respect your home like it’s my own and always send updates, photos, and quick check-ins to keep you at ease while you’re away.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life. All different breeds and all different sizes. I’ve always known the importance of keeping a good eye on them and knowing their regular attitude. I know how serious something can be even when the dogs attitude just switched a little bit. I know the importance of showing your love and care for animals as it can really help comfort them or just make them happy. I currently work part time so I do have a lot of freetime to help out and look after/ care for peoples animals who need it. I’m available anyday especially weekends to watch/walk ur pets!! In my home my dog has an open field to run in a water bowl outside inside and in my room. He also gets kenneled sometimes depending on how long im leaving for and such but at night he sleeps in bed with me or on the floor if he gets too hot.
About: I worked as a vet tech and helped administer the best care I could to dogs and cats of all breeds. If your furry friend needs anything I’m there to help! Baths and nail clippings are not a hassle for me! I’m currently not working in the pet care industry as I’ve just recently relocated to tiffin but I’ve always loved helping animals in any way I can, so I’d love to help yours! I’ve always seen safety and comfortability as the two top priorities when taking care of any animal, mine or anyone else’s. I will always make sure to keep your furry friends as safe and as comfortable as possible!
About: I am a caring, easy going, and loving individual who loves to spend his days hanging out with animals! I have two pups of my own, and several niece and nephew cats/dogs. Theater is a hobby, but animals are my passion! I am a theater/history major and am home during the day Monday-Friday. I spend around 3-4 hours a evening working on plays. However, do take note Saturdays I am typically gone for a few hours in the afternoon-evening. I have enough time to love, care for, and play with your babies! I specialize in caring for elderly and high energy dogs. I have worked with multiple Belgian Malinois and dog sit for a family that has two Belgian Malinois, and a Great Pyrenees. Both of which have drastically different lifestyles. I play with, care for, and love on each animal differently depending on its needs! I had a dog with diabetes who got three injections a day. This required a schedule that was easy for me to pick up on!
“Taylor was great. She was very caring and patient towards Jordy. It was his first time away from home. She did everything she could to make him feel comfortable and taken care of. Taylor kept me updated and made herself available. We appreciated her and recommend her. Thank you !!”
About: I have never not had a dog in my home. I have owned breeds from chihuahuas to great danes. I will take care of your pet like it is my own! I currently am open all day every day. I don't have a job as of right now, so I am looking to help anyone out. I could take your pets to parks, car rides, walks, etc. Anything they enjoy I will do! I can spend all my time with your pets without complaints!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of every kind since I was five years old. My neighbors, friends and family have relied on me for years Im currently working part time here and there. I work part time on and off and running errands for friends and family and my two sisters I have a really really big back yard that is fenced in and the grass is really plush and green. There are tunnels and mazes and toys for your dogs and cats
About: My original inspiration for becoming a sitter came from my mother, actually! I grew up with her pet sitting for her coworkers. I would come along to provide some help and love, and ended up falling in love with it! Dogs are one of my favorite animals, they have so much personality and each one is unique. I love just being able to cuddle on the couch with my pup and watch tv! I currently have a four year old Great Dane named Zero. In addition to taking care of Zero, I’ve volunteered at a dog rescue for about two years and still help by donating items like food and potty pads to them. I also work as a veterinary technician so I am always around different shapes and sizes of dogs! I’ve gained a lot of experience in my various capacities, so I’ll bring all my expertise along with me to every stay. I know how difficult it can be to be away from your best friend, so I’ll make sure to be in (at least) daily communication with my clients. I will be sure to send you daily photos and videos of how your pooch is doing and what we’ve done that day. You can be assured that I will do my best to keep your pup happy and healthy when they’re with me as well. I assess how each pet is doing each day with my knowledge as a veterinary technician and as a dog lover! I always prefer to schedule meet-and-greets when taking on new clients, since it gives me a good opportunity to learn about you and your pup before a stay begins, as well as make sure that we’re a good fit for one another. I like to make sure I go down to their level, avoid eye contact, and let the pets come to me first. It is always important for them to know that I am not there to harm them or mess with their territory, only to bring company and fun. I always make sure I get time to pet or give them a treat so they will recognize me when I come see them again. I always like to know what a pet does not like, so I make sure to avoid it as much as possible. I work at a veterinary hospital full time but have availability to stop by before or after work to care for client’s pets. I do work one weekend a month but usually have weekends available otherwise. I try to keep the pets schedule as consistent as possible to what they are used to. Separation anxiety usually is triggered by changes in environment and schedule.
“Ali was great to work with. She let us know when she was on her way and sent pictures of our fur babies every time. Process was easy. This will allow my wife and I to go on more vacations. Would highly recommend Ali I We will be using her again soon.”
