About: While I don't have formal experience, I've spent my whole life taking care of pets at home. I've even raised our current pups from puppies to adulthood, handling everything from feeding to playtime. My goal is to treat every pet like part of the family. As we head past graduation and into the summer, I will have a very flexible schedule! I'm available on the weekends, evenings, and soon to be during the weekdays as well! Every pet deserves the family treatment! I'm careful to follow their set routines and rules - whether it's playtime, feeding, or crate time. Your pet's safety always comes first!

About: I have taken care of animals by volunteering at the Kansas City pet project as well as fostering animals. I love being around animals and making sure they are well taken care of. I am taking two summer classes, Tuesday and Thursdays 9:15 am- 11:15 am. Other than that, I am available all days other than the dates marked off on the calendar. I care for pets by making sure they are let out when they need to be, making sure they are fed, and by giving them plenty of love!

About: Hi! My name is Madison and I am a healthcare worker looking for animals to care for! I have a pup of my own (a bull terrier named Duke), that I just adore, and would love to care for your pet just the same. I will come with lots of cuddles for your lazy doggos, or lots of energy for the playful ones! I also grew up with cats, so I have experience with caring for them as well. If you have a reptile (snake, gecko, etc.) I also have experience feeding with crickets, frozen thawed mice, and live pinkies! I also keep freshwater fish, so I am available for feedings/water changes. Since there is not an option for other animals, please just book for a cat service, and let me know what kind of animal you have! I am currently only available on the weekends for walking and drop-in visits. Occasionally I am available during the week, so please reach out if you have any questions! I am no stranger to picking up messes, and would take great care of your pet as well as keeping your home clean in the process.

“Stacy was wonderful with communication and taking care of our doggie that has a little anxiety! Will definitely book again when I go out of town!”

“This was my first weekend with Deret, and she couldn't have been better!! She communicated everything and I'm excited to have her on board!! Thank you Deret! I will continue to book her for all of my needs!!”

About: I have genuine hand on experience with a multitude of animals and their needs. I feel comfortable giving medication as needed, taking an animal out on walks or to a pet store. I keep the pet on routine with what they normally know, trying to cause as little disruptions as possible. I make sure to give the dog space at their home so they know they are safe with someone new while they warm up to me. Because I’m already tuned into the needs of animals 24/7, adding another pet to the mix feels natural and exciting—not like extra work. Whether it's sticking to a specific feeding schedule, administering medication, or just giving lots of love and attention, I'm already doing those things daily, and I genuinely enjoy it. I offer overnight pet care, weekend or extended stay care, and per request care. I get a good pet profile from the owner so I know about the animal before meeting them and know what to do to make them comfortable or what to look for if needed. I offer day before meets so the pet can get comfortable meeting me before pet care starts. If I do single services, I will make sure the pet has their basic needs met before leaving, as well as any additional requests that might be needed. All owners also get updates on their pet, as well as when pet care is over for the day/ booking if I leave before they arrive.

About: Ive owned dogs my entire life up until my last dog passed, since then I have decided to take care of dogs when people need someone they can trust. I love all dogs and have experience with senior dogs as well as dogs who have seizures and/or have to take medication. I work in the healthcare field, I only work 3 days a week (Monday, Wednesday, and Friday) I do work 12-14 hour shifts but if I have enough time I can request to leave early to be able to go home on breaks to care for your babies. I work from 4am- around 3pm, I am available to drop in to check on your pet after work and/or take your pet on a walk and give them some exercise. I do not offer in home sitting due to having two cats of my own, I do not want the chance of any animal getting stressed out. I like to come by before you leave to get a layout of everything and learn your pets routine so that they can still have a sense of normalcy while you are gone.

About: I have been boarding pets and dog sitting for family and friends for over twenty years, and previously worked as a vet tech and shelter volunteer. Boarding rates are so high, just for the pup to sit in a kennel most of the day, so we are kennel free (unless the owner requests I use theirs) and no extra charge for playtime or extra treats! My family are all pet lovers here as well, so my husband and kids love having extra dogs around to spoil with treats, snuggles, and endless playtime in the backyard. We never watch more than three pets at a time, to make sure every one of them gets plenty of attention. I know a lot of sitters watch up to 8, but we like controlled chaos! I have a big fenced in backyard, tons of dog and cat toys and tennis balls, and of course washable couch cushions and rugs everywhere because we know accidents happen 😂 My golden loves having new playmates, and is passive to a fault. I work remotely part time from home while working on my Masters, previously I worked at the Social Security Administration HQ here in KCMO. I can administer medication, and my speciality is elderly dogs that need extra attention and/or dogs that don’t do well in typical boarding situation due to anxiety and/or destructive behaviors because here, they can have as much attention as they do (or don’t!) want! I currently work from home 20 hours a week medical billing and coding, my schedule is flexible and my children are both in daycare/elementary school and gone from approx 8-4. I have a fenced in large yard in a quiet neighborhood, so I walk dogs I watch/my dogs 1-2 times a day and let out any elderly dogs I am currently watching through the front door to avoid the deck steps. I feed my dogs twice a day, they drink filtered water and get denta sticks each day. I always bring dog treats on walks so reinforce good behavior. We consider our pets people here, so getting on furniture is allowed as well, unless the owner says no discourage.

About: I have had a dog in my life since I was born so I know how to take care and prioritize their needs. I love getting to know each dog and make sure they are most comfortable and that I can do what I need to for them. I also watch out for dogs a lot I’m very reliable I have done it for family and friends. I am currently not working. I wanted to do this job because it would be something I really can enjoy and look forward to since I do love being around dogs. And my schedule will be very flexible since I do have a lot of free time! I live in an apartment complex that has a dog park and lots of walking trails for the dogs. And I also have a nice and coast house that would be a good scenery and comfortable place for the dogs to be in.

About: I run a 24/7 animal hospital and have 2 senior dogs of my own. This service provided me top notch care for my dogs when I needed it and now I would like to do the same for other owners. I've had dogs my whole life and got into veterinary medicine due to my love of helping people and their pets when they need it most. I work remotely from home most days and can be flexible with your needs. Even in the event I must go into my hospital your animals are absolutely welcome to come with me and hang out with my team of Veterinarians and Vet techs. I have a fully fenced yard for my 2 senior dogs that get along with everyone. If you have dog reactive pets I have a plenty of space in my home to keep them separated and safe.

About: **NOTE: If you are outside of my normal service preferences, please still request, particularly if you have a pet that has medical or behavioral concerns. I am extremely comfortable with unique behavioral/medical needs and I find great joy in working with these animals. I have always loved animals. This was amplified when I completed an internship at an exotic animal sanctuary on their animal care team. After this, I trained as a veterinary technician at a senior dog sanctuary specializing in hospice care. When I moved to KC, I worked as a vet tech under a renowned veterinary orthopedic surgeon. I was the lead vet tech for a high-volume clinic where I was the lead surgery and dental tech, emergency tech, and euthanasia tech, and I oversaw the vet tech schedule and controlled substance logs. I am comfortable administering injections (insulin, for example), administering subcutaneous fluids, delivering triage care in an emergency with your animal, and monitoring heart rates, respiratory rates, and capillary refill times. On a personal level, I am the proud mom of a one-eyed French Bulldog, a senior Chihuahua, a ball python, a milk snake, and an eyelash-crested gecko. In the past, I have been a parent to hamsters, rats, a guinea pig, a corn snake, and multiple fish species. I currently work as a Behavioral Interventionist for a district that participates in four-day weeks. For the summer, I have open availability. The school year will begin again 8/11/25 for me which will leave me with full availability for Saturdays, Sundays, and Mondays and availability from 5 am to 8 am and after 5 pm on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays until the end of May, holiday breaks being the exception. When you request a time for a visit, I will care for your pets within one hour before or one hour after the requested time unless there is a special circumstance such as medication administration needed at exact times. For example, if you request a drop-in visit at 12pm, the visit may start anywhere from 11am to 1pm in order to accommodate unexpected situations where I need to spend more time with an animal. An animal's safety is my highest priority. I am trained in safe dog introductions and reading animal body language. Additionally, I am trained to safely intervene if an interaction between animals becomes aggressive to minimize injury to the animals and myself. I am well versed in identifying potential emergency medical situations and will respond quickly to reduce stress on your beloved pet. I would like to know immediately if something is wrong with one of my babies, and it is essential to show you the same respect.

About: Hello! I’ve taken care of family and friend’s dogs for about 8 years now and I have a dog of my own! Her name is Wednesday and she’s a German Shepherd Mix that I’ve had for 2.5 years. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and breeds and treat them all like the little fur babies they are! I work from home and I have a very flexible schedule so I will be available to drop in and take your dog(s) as many times as needed throughout the day. I will make sure to follow their normal routine as much as possible. Such as feeding times, frequency in walks/potty time, play time, etc. Additionally, I am a huge dog lover and I have no problem cuddling, petting, and playing with your fur-baby while I care for them.

About: First and foremost, whoever said that money doesn’t buy happiness never had a dog. I am the proud fur-parent of two English Bulldogs. They are the most happy, loving dogs ever. I love any and all animals but dogs and cats are where most of my knowledge lies. I used to work for a pet supply store. With that job I became very knowledgeable about various pet concerns as well as nutrition and care for animals. I also volunteer for a local rescue in Kansas City. My dogs aren’t the most active breed but we still love our walks, dog parks and play dates. My availability is fairly standard unless I am out of town myself. My work schedule varies frequently but almost always I am able to make early morning and evening visits work with the occasional availability for lunch-time drop-ins Pets in my home are welcome to any space my own dogs are allowed and I have a privacy fenced in backyard for them to play. At your home, I will follow any instructions you have on what is on/off limits for your pup/animal.

“Very friendly and professional”

About: Hi, my name is Autumn and i have worked with dogs and other animals for over 15 years. My experience comes from working in animal hospitals, pet stores, daycare, boarding, and rescue facilities. I've also been a dog walker for about 3 years. I worked for a dog walking company for 2 years and then started my own pet care/dog walking business called Road Dogs Pet Care and Transportation. I am a single mother of two daughters (5 & 11) and dog mom of 3 older (13,13, &15), very sweet dogs. They are all very social and well behaved. I have a large fenced in yard. I also have experience doing nail trims and offer in-home nail trims. i also have experience bathing and administering medications. I take care, safety, and love very seriously and will always do my best to make sure your babe feels as comfortable and happy as possible! Profile update: Hi, a lot has changed since I first joined Rover so I wanted to inform everyone of those changes so you are aware of our new kids. :) I no longer have my three elderly babies as they have all passed away due to old age. We now have two new babies Six and Pepper. Six is my 2 year old Border Collie/Heeler mix. She's very spunky, sweet, and playful! Pepper is our 2 1/2 yr old 7 lb. poodle. She is basically my daughters little sidekick and spends almost all of her time with her. She sometimes thinks she's a Doberman, but she's harmless and warms up quick. Once she warms up she's ready to run with the big (and little) dogs! They're both very sweet and playful girls and are used to lots of new visitors all the time. :) I'm home full-time and take care of my two kids, two dogs, and our aquatic turtle. Aside from running occasional errands or appointments, I'm able to give your dog or dogs all the love, attention, and playtime that they need. I'm also available for daily dog walks if needed. I have a large fully fenced yard for them to run and play in. They are all inside and outside frequently throughout the day as needed or as they please.

I can also kennel if need be or I only kennel if need be or at night or if I leave the house for any reason.

About: I’ve had a lifetime of pet care experience that began in my childhood. Over the years, I’ve cared for a wide variety of pets—from cats and dogs to birds, fish, reptiles, and even horses. I offer a full range of services including walking, administering medications through any route, nail trims, bathing, and plenty of pets and belly rubs. My experience extends to working with senior pets as well as those recovering from abuse or neglect. I understand that every pet is unique, and I take pride in providing care that mirrors the love and attention they receive from their own families. Since relocating back to my home state, pet care has become the cornerstone of my daily and weekly schedule. Every morning, I start by visiting clients’ homes to ensure each pet is fed, medicated, and ready for the day with a brisk walk or playful session. I meticulously plan time slots for essential services like bathing, nail trims, and special attention for senior or recuperating pets, ensuring each one receives personalized care. Afternoons are dedicated to scheduled visits and longer sessions for more intensive care, while my evenings allow for follow-up calls and planning for the next day’s appointments. This structured yet flexible routine lets me deliver full-time, compassionate pet care that meets the unique needs of every animal in my care. When you invite me into your home, you’re not just hiring a pet care service—you’re welcoming someone who treats your space and your pet as if they were my own. I bring a lifetime of experience and a compassionate, full-time commitment to ensure that every visit maintains the safety and comfort of your pets environment. I carefully adhere to your routines and preferences, providing everything from gentle walks and precise medication administration to personalized grooming and plenty of love. Whether caring for senior pets or those recovering from challenging circumstances, I ensure that every service is executed with trust, respect, and meticulous attention to your pet’s well-being. This approach guarantees that your pet remains in a familiar, secure setting while receiving top-tier care that mirrors your own high standards.
