House Sitting in Lake Annette

“Rachel is the best! We just moved to our area and I was so glad that we found her to watch our 2 dogs and cat before our 4th of July trip. Our pets loved her and we will definitely ask her to dog sit again.”

Casey H.

“Nathan was great and exceeded all of our expectations! He was on time, came to meet our dogs twice before the stay, followed all of our instructions AND brushed them multiple times, took our trash out, and kept the house in great shape.”

About: I have been pet sitting since before my children were born and they are now grown. I am a young retiree with lots of time, but I am also active enough to keep up with even the most energetic babies. Most pets do better in their own environment and routine. Advanced notice is required to prior to gather all the information necessary to ensure a smooth process. Spoiling your pet with all the attention they require is my top priority. With house sitting services, you have the added bonus of having your home looked after as well. When appropriate, I also offer boarding services in my home one client at a time. ***My dog will stay with me on all house sitting bookings*** I adjust my schedule to your meet your babies needs. Your babies come first, my schedule comes second. I am retired, so I spend the vast majority of the day with them. During the meet and greet, I gather all the information needed in order to keep their routine as close as possible to their current routine.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the hands-on experience I’ve had throughout my whole life. My family breeds dogs, so I’ve grown up caring for dogs of all ages including puppies that need structure and consistency, as well as older dogs that require a gentler, more attentive approach. We currently have four dogs at home, and I’m involved in their daily care, training, and routines. I’ve also been pet-sitting in my neighborhood for many years, so I’m very comfortable adapting to different personalities, needs, and household rules. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, administering basic care, or following any specific instructions a client has, I’m confident and capable of handling it. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. I’m available every day mostly in the afternoons or mid-day so I can be flexible with visits, walks, or whatever a pet might need during those times. My schedule allows me to give consistent attention and make sure each pet gets the care and interaction they’re used to. I care for pets by following their normal routines and giving them plenty of attention, whether I’m in my home or a client’s home. I make sure they’re fed on schedule, taken out for walks or bathroom breaks, and given playtime and affection. I always keep their environment clean and comfortable and follow any specific instructions the owner provides so each pet feels safe, relaxed, and well cared for.

“Sydney did a great job with our sheltie and Collie. Our collie can be very shy but she took to Sydney. Would totally recommend her to others”

“Elizabeth and her husband did amazing, they went the extra mile to take my dogs on a walk and definitely played with my puppy. My dogs were so happy in their care and they were very well taken care of. They sent me pictures and updates throughout the day and night. I will definitely use them again to watch the pups!”

About: I have had pets my whole life up! I'm a full time stay at home mom with 3 kiddos (2 in school and 1 not in school cause shes a baby!) I am looking to earn a little pocket change while hopefully helping someone out with their fur babies. Most times I will have to come with my baby in her carrier for now, but certain times I may be able to work around that, so please dont hesitate to ask! I am willing to travel as far as Kansas City/Overland Park, Pittsburg, and Joplin/Springfield, or basically within an hour and half for house sitting. As a mom I am not able to stay in your home for house sitting, I could consider pet care inside my home on a case-by-case basis. For daily walks, we will have to agree on a price if its farther than Nevada, El Dorado Springs. I live on a few acres with cats, a dog, chickens, and ducks. I have experience with a lot of different types of animals as well including fish and smaller caged critters. I have experience working with service dogs as well. If you have any questions, please reach out! Im super flexible and would love to be able to help you any way that I can. I am a stay at home mom with 2 of 3 kiddos in school. My schedule is very open. Whatever work you're needing with your animals, please reach out. Animal care in my home will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Animal care in your home will be as requested by you. I typically could not do overnight care as I've got kiddos in school and will most likely have to travel a bit to help you with your animals, but on weekends or breaks I can consider it.

About: * Having served my local community's pet care needs in Missouri for over 3 years now, both through Rover and my private business, I've built a solid foundation of recurring clients, such that I do not have many current reviews on this page. I am quite proud of the relationships I've developed with my clients and their animals, and that we've established the trust, confidence, and history of reliability needed to have years behind our professional relationships. * After a full Marine Corps career wrapped up in North Carolina, my family and I moved to Missouri and have begun putting down our roots. I have maintained my CPR and First Aid certifications for 4 years, am privately insured and bonded. My personal pack of pups are older, so I have a significant amount of experience with seniors, to include administering medication and special physical needs, but also have cared for senior kitties, puppies, kittens, and a variety of small caged animals. In the time that we've been in Cass County, I've cared for pigs, horses, chickens, and ducks, but am willing to be taught how to care for most any animal that the owner is willing to take time to show me how to do. I am am member of the National Association of Professional Pet Sitters and Pet Sitters International. I am experienced in knowing and recognizing the signs of stress in cats and dogs, and their body language, and strive to maintain continuing education about the animals I take care of through online courses, in person courses, and personally guided studies. My pet care business, both personal and through Rover, is my full time job as clients make requests of me. I am available for regular visits in your home for potty breaks, meals, administering medication, and/or walks around your neighborhood. I am also available for house sitting in your home. My house sitting services are dedicated care from 8p to 8a, with one half-hour midday visit. Additional visits can be scheduled if needed as regular drop in visits. I am available for more constant care on a case by case basis that can be discussed at the time the dates are submitted. The more information you can give me about your pets, the better, so that I can make them as comfortable as possible with our visits. Before a booking begins, I'll set up an emergency plan with you so you can take comfort in knowing your pets are in good hands. With each visit, I send several pictures and a detailed card so you know exactly how our visit(s) went. I carry a First Aid kit with me to each visit and am able to take care of any small issues that may arise. For house sitting, I have a questionnaire that needs to be completed before our first meeting, and am always happy to answer any questions that may come from it. When you leave your pets in my care, I want you to be confident in knowing that I've done everything possible to care for them to the best of my abilities.

About: Lucky enough to be around pets all my life, the most recent one being a black lab you lived past 17. He passed away earlier this year, and I’m not quite ready to move on with a pet of my own, but caring for your pets is both therapeutic and my pleasure. I work in Lenexa, 8am to 5pm Monday through Friday. I can make lunch visits where needed, tend to your pets both before and after work, and be available on the weekends! I love going on walks with your pets, as I am health-conscious and enjoy getting the steps. I am cleanly and don’t leave things on the floor that your pets can get into. I’ll give them all the attention they can handle, and make sure they have water and food per their schedule. I’m truly here to make sure they are loved and taken care of while you are away.

“Susan was wonderful with our little guy! Lots of pictures and cuddles. It was a great feeling knowing our dog was happy and taken care of while we were on vacation.”

“Ronnie was great with my three dogs while I was gone. She constantly kept me updated and shared pictures with me. She is very trustworthy as well.”

About: I bring two years of professional experience in dog daycare and boarding management. My personal and retail background includes extensive knowledge of exotic care in addition to all breeds of cats and dogs. I am reliable to administer necessary medications, ensuring your pet’s full routine is safely maintained. My schedule is structured to maximize your convenience. As a full-time Corrections Officer, I primarily work night shifts on the weekends. This unique arrangement allows me to dedicate my entire weekday schedule to focused pet care, ensuring reliable and flexible check-ins, walks, and overnight stays when you need them most. I balance this duty with ongoing studies in online nursing, which reinforces my vigilance, organizational skills, and competency in reliable medication administration. While weekdays are my core availability, I am always open to coordinating bookings and check-ins around my weekend night shifts. Rest assured, my background ensures that when I am on duty for your pets, they receive my full, undivided, and vigilant attention. When I am caring for your pets in your environment, my goal is to maintain a zero-disruption routine and act as a reliable presence. Vigilant: I strictly adhere to all house-sitting intructions, ensuring all doors, windows, and alarm systems are secure. My security background means I notice things others miss. Routine: Your pet's established routine (feeding times, walk schedules, play, and medication) is my absolute priority. I do not deviate unless necessary for their safety. Respect: For dogs, I ensure stimulating, timely physical and mental exercise. For cats, I respect their space, read their body language, and provide attention on their terms to minimize stress. For reptiles and birds, I follow the precise environment, heat, lighting, and feeding instructions to the letter. Daily Communication: You will receive a comprehensive "Daily Report" (including photos) on time, detailing the pet's activity, demeanor, and any necessary observations.

About: Senior dog experience. Medical training including injections and infusions. Flexible schedule throughout the day and night to suit your needs. Lovely walking route around my neighborhood for daycare walks. I’m a SAHM who works PRN (once a week) at my day job. I am able to work my daily schedule around your pets needs. I have a fenced area and lovely walking route for your pets. I have one elderly (16 yo) miniature pinscher who is good company and a kiddo who loves playing with dogs. I can kennel your dog if needed and have two stories in my home in case they need their own space for a bit.

“Vlada was the best!!! My two cavaliers loved her. One is a puppy and I know prob had some issues, but Vlada made it sound like he was an angel. She made my time away from my dogs so stress free which helped me really enjoy my vacation. Will for sure use her in the future.”

Curtis L.

“We had never used Rover before as we were hesitant to leave our babies with strangers. I chose Abby from reading her great reviews. She did an amazing job with our 2 dogs and cat. We knew they’d been well taken care of by the way they acted when we got home. She communicated well and sent daily pictures. She stayed at our home and even washed and made the bed! She left our home great. I would highly recommend her!”

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and have over 5 years of experience caring for them. I’m confident with all breeds, sizes, and energy levels. Whether your pup needs walks, playtime, or just a cuddle buddy while you’re away, I’ll treat them like family. I’m also comfortable with feeding routines, crate training, and keeping them safe, happy, and loved at all times. I’m a local property manager, just minutes from home, so I can drop in during lunch breaks, after work, and on weekends. I take my own dog to the park every evening for about two hours so he can play and socialize—your pup can join the fun if you’d like! I’m fully available after noon on Fridays and completely free on weekends for boarding, walks, or drop-ins. I treat every dog like family and make sure they feel safe, loved, and entertained. I care for every dog as if they’re my own. While I don’t have a fenced yard, I always take dogs out on leash for potty breaks and walks. Inside my home, pets have a safe, clean, and calm space to relax and feel comfortable. I do have one puppy of my own—he’s super loving and playful, and I always make sure visiting dogs are comfortable and properly introduced. When caring for dogs in their own home, I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding routines, crate preferences, and walk schedules. I also send regular updates and photos so you always know how your dog is doing. Safety, trust, and comfort are always my top priorities.

About: I have extensive experience working with animals, starting from my time in school where I gained foundational knowledge about animal care. I then worked at a doggy daycare and training facility, where I handled a variety of responsibilities including grooming, giving dogs baths, physical and mental stimulation activities with the dogs, feeding, boarding and assisting with training. I’m well-educated on dog behavior and have worked with all types of dogs, managing different behaviors and health needs. This includes administering medication like insulin and responding to emergencies such as seizures. In addition to my hands-on experience, I served as a supervisor at the daycare, which helped me develop leadership skills and the ability to stay calm under pressure. I also have two dogs and a cat of my own, who are very important to me and have deepened my understanding and passion for animal care. My long-term goal is to enter wildlife rehabilitation, and I’m currently working in this field to gain experience and earn some extra income while preparing to start school for that career path. I’m committed to continuing my education and growing my skills to make a positive impact on animals’ lives. I’m currently in between work at the moment, so my schedule is very flexible right now!! I’m available for housesitting especially during this time, as well as potty let outs at anytime of the day and walks (the cold doesn’t bother me)! I’d really say, it depends on the animal, client and circumstances. But I give every animal I watch the care, attention and love I would give my own animals in addition to any other special requests!

“Holly was fabulous! She took such good care of our Jax and Bailey while we were on vacation in Mexico! They both loved her, as was evident from the photos she sent regularly. She gave them lots of love and attention and went out of her way with some extras as well! Great communication and very respectful of our home while visiting. We were able to thoroughly enjoy our vacation knowing they were in good hands. Highly recommend and I hope she will consider sitting again!”

Angie B.

“Morgan and Savannah did an awesome job with Leia and Booker. We've already got them booked for two more weekends. Highly recommend!”

Lucas C.

“Alexandria was excellent! She was very communicative during the stay and sent updates and pictures throughout. I would highly recommend using her to watch your dogs!”
