“Raelee was incredible with Ollie. Early the first day he was cuddled up next to her and he normally doesn't like other people in his house. I got lots of pictures that showed how happy he was. When we got back, you couldn't even tell someone else had been here. I will definitely use her again!”


“Another fantastic pet sitting by Abby!!! Clear and timely communications before and during the sitting. Always prompt in arriving. Took excellent care of our two boys, which includes long walks for our golden retriever. House was immaculate when we returned— she even washed the sheets and towels and remade the bed! We are worry free when Abby is here. Thank you Abby!”


“Daniel was fantastic! He took amazing care of both our dogs, cats, and house. It was the most stress free experience I’ve ever had on vacation. He sent daily updates and photos, tidied up the home, and followed our dog’s routine making it a seamless transition. Our rescue who struggles to be around new people warmed up to him quickly. I highly recommend Daniel! We will definitely be using him again for any future trips.”


“Jenny is a great sitter! She took such good care of our 4 pets - 2 dogs, 2 cats - sending us pic and video updates and generally being communicative, We felt very at ease leaving our babies in her care!”


“Jessica was so kind and took great care of our anxious pup! She updated everyday with pictures and how things were going. She stayed in our home and left it in great condition as well. We will definitely use her again and would recommend her to anyone!”


About: I have 10 years of experience doing pet care and house sitting since college. What I like most about pets is how they can communicate. I like to visit parks around the metro so I am always close by and ready to take care of your pet. I like going to the trail with them or just customizing care for what is best for them. I am available to take care of your pet at your home. I should be able to host pets soon when my fence is completed.

“I cannot say enough good things about Alecia! One of our dogs is not always friendly to strangers and Alecia was so kind and understanding of the situation. She kept me updated on them while we were away and did everything she could to put my mind at ease. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing a pet sitter…. She will give your fur babies l the love and attention they want!”

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.

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 have 3 years of experience working at a doggy daycare in their boarding department, and 3 years of vet experience. I’ve also rescued several dogs over the years and have volunteered for several shelters around KC. I’m an avid dog lover who will spoil your babies just like you do! I currently have an open schedule due to being recently laid off. Your pup will get full attention! I can also travel outside of the city to meet your needs. Extremely attentive and loving and will treat your dog like my own. Due to my doggy daycare and boarding experience, I also know the importance of following the owners directions on how they want their pets cared for.

About: I've grown up around dogs and have experience caring for a wide range of breeds, sizes, and energy levels. I've helped with everything from daily walks and feeding to playtime, bathing, and basic commands. I'm comfortable with both high-energy pups and older dogs who need a gentler touch. What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals, my patience, and the time I take to make sure each dog feels safe, happy, and loved-whether they're staying at my home or just out for a walk. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I already spend a lot of time around animals. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide consistent care throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, and weekends. Whether it’s a walk, drop-in visit, or overnight stay, I make sure each pet gets my full attention and care as if they were my own. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or visiting a client’s, safety and trust are my top priorities. I always take time to understand each dog’s needs, routines, and personality. In my home, I create a calm, clean, and pet-friendly space where dogs can feel comfortable and secure. I supervise all play and rest time, make sure they have fresh water, and stick closely to the owner’s instructions. When visiting a client’s home, I respect their space, follow feeding and walk schedules carefully, and keep everything as close to normal as possible for the pet’s comfort.

“Ali was great! Very attentive and follows instructions. Most of all she was able to work with our very timid dog. Good communication throughout. Will be using here again for sure! She's a sweetheart.”


About: I have about 10 years of experience pet/house/babysitting around my neighborhood and local community. I am known as very reasonable and reliable. My kind gentle demeanor and love for activity and adventure combined with my years of experience make me the ideal pal for any furry friend! I do have a bit of medical/first aid experience in my background. While mainly trained for human medical care I am confident in my ability to correctly administer necessary medication to your pet. I am 20 years old and advancing my education while also working part time as a server. My classes are all online and serving job is very flexible and I’m able to be scheduled around pet sitting commitments. I would like to start expanding my network of clients and am currently looking forward to building long term partnerships and am completely open date/frequency-wise at the moment. I live at home with my parents and want to pet/house sit in home for clients. This provides me with freedom away from home while still being close. Since my classes are all online I am able to be physically present at all times and give your pet my consistent attention and affection. I value cleanliness, communication and respect. It is always my goal to leave your home better than I entered.

“Kylee responded to our last minute request to look after Ru, our 14 year old chihuahua. She did a wonderful job and left our house spotless. We highly recommend her and hope she can house sit Ru again in the future.”


About: I am a college student trying to make a little extra money by taking care of some awesome dogs. I helped take care of two dogs growing up. I had an English bulldog for 11 years and I had another dog that is a mix of a lot of breeds that is now 7. I now have my own dog named Obi who is a poodle and is 9 months old. I have enjoyed helping train and care for all of them. I currently work part time doing odd jobs so I have a flexible schedule and am available for drop in visits plus do house sittings. Morning and late afternoon drop in visits would be the best. I keep my dog Obi well cared for and make sure to give him exercise and plenty of love. I am willing to feed them, give them water, play with them, and take them for walks just like I do my own dogs.
