“5 stars! Kyra was incredibly responsive & easy to work with. She took great care of my two cats and went above and beyond to make sure my plants were taken care of as well. By the pictures she was able to get with my cats, you can tell animals get a great vibe and feel safe/comfortable with her. Thank you, Kyra!”

“Iryna was absolutely amazing! She was incredibly responsive and communicative, always keeping me updated and thinking ahead about my cat’s needs. She noticed small issues with my cat right away and made sure to flag them so I could address them quickly, which gave me so much peace of mind. I could tell she genuinely cared and went above and beyond. I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful, reliable, and caring sitter!”


“Steve was absolutely exceptional. After each visit we received a very detailed summary and some of the best photos of our dogs and cats! Throughout the entire process he was prompt and kept great communication with us. We will definitely be using him again!”

“Terra was amazing! We found her on Rover somewhat last minute after some issues with our other sitter, and I am so glad we did! Terra was so flexible when we had to make some last minute changes to her care schedule due to our kitty, Nickel, coming down with a UTI the morning we were leaving for vacation. Terra proceeded to take such great care of Nickel. She kept us regularly updated about how Nickel was doing, and sent pictures, which were so comforting to see. Nickel was not so sure about taking his meds from a new person, but Terra did a great job working with him and trying different strategies to help him. All-in-all, Terra went above and beyond in so many ways, and we feel so fortunate that our little guy was in her care. We definitely highly recommend, Terra!”

“Being new to the area, finding a reliable cat sitter was one of my biggest stresses before traveling, so I’m especially grateful to have found Eva to watch Mugi. She was easy to work with, and her communication was always prompt and clear. Eva fully respected my home, followed all the instructions carefully, and sent thorough notes and photos that gave me peace of mind while I was away. She also went the extra mile by brushing Mugi and spending time to keep him company, and it looked to me Mugi enjoyed her visits as well. I’d definitely recommend Eva to other pet parents who are looking for a caring and dependable sitter!”

“Sierra has been an excellent dog sitter. She is so communicative and positive interactions with our dog mean a lot to us. We will definitely be using her in the future for our dog sitting needs.”


About: I have had pets since I was 6 years old. What started out as a single toy poodle when I was six has blossomed into a total of 3 dogs, 2 cats, 4 birds, and numerous fish across my 31 years on this earth. I have loved every single one of my pets and wouldn't know what a world without pets would be like. I currently have a Maltipoo named Addi and a Siberian Forest Cat named Mia. These two rascals are my world and I love every second spent with them. I currently work full time, so I am not able to provide services on weekdays until after 5 pm. On weekends I am available any time after 8 am. I do spend one week a month out of town for work. I also spend some weekends out of town back in my hometown. Otherwise I am very flexible to working with you! I absolutely love my pets! I take my dog, and even my cat for walks around my yard. I also have a fenced in balcony that I let my dog and cat out on multiple times a day. Quality of life for my animals is one of the highest priorities in my life. I provide a loving home for my cat and dog and that shows through their personalities. My dog is always happy! She loves life and it shows. My cat is extremely laid back and trusts me with everything. She lets me do whatever I want with her. She's like a limp doll when I pick her up, without a care in the world. Making sure every pet is taken care of, feels safe, and at peace is my highest priority. I treat every animal as if it is my own. I know how hard it is to leave your babies behind in someone else's care. However, know that your animals will receive the best care in the world under my supervision. I will provide routine updates along with photos and videos, if requested.

About: I have extensive experience caring for animals, as I’ve had pets in my home since I was a baby. Growing up around pets taught me responsibility at a young age, including feeding, grooming, cleaning, and making sure animals feel safe and comfortable. Over the years, I’ve cared for a variety of pets and have become very attentive to their needs, behaviors, and routines. I understand how important it is to provide not just basic care, but also companionship, patience, and love. My lifelong experience has made me confident in handling different personalities and ensuring pets are well cared for while their owners are away. I am a full time college student and work a part time job as a server. Most of my availability is in the mornings on weekdays and weekends as needed. I am a reliable and caring pet sitter with extensive experience providing private pet care for families. Over time, I’ve built trust with pet owners by consistently showing up on time, following specific care instructions, and treating every pet as if they were my own. I’ve cared for pets with different routines, temperaments, and needs, which has made me adaptable and attentive in any situation. Whether it’s feeding, walking, administering basic care, or simply spending quality time with pets, I always prioritize their comfort, safety, and happiness while their owners are away.
“Elyea was fantastic! I have two cats (10 and 8 y/o) that warmed up to her immediately (and that rarely happens). They came out of their hiding spots during the meet & greet, and my shy older cat was rolling over and showing her belly on the first drop-in visit (which almost NEVER happens). She played with them, loved on them, and treated them like her own pets. She was so proactive in communication, and I so appreciated how many photos she took. She is a tried and true cat whisperer, and after the first day, all of the nerve I had about leaving the cats melted away. I cannot recommend her enough! Will be forwarding her profile to any/all friends, coworkers, on social media, and to anyone who mentions their pets in passing.”


“Absolutely 100% recommend Lakyn & Alex! It's difficult to leave your pet behind, but with these two you will have nothing to worry about. I could tell my cat was much more relaxed than usual and even opened up to them (which is rare). I feel very lucky to have had them taken care of Syl, and I know she feels the same way. Thank you so much, Lakyn and Alex!!”

About: I've been lucky enough to take care of homes and pets in lots of different places, like California, Oregon, and even other countries. All that experience has helped me become really good at providing reliable and loving care for both pets and their people. I’m really good at going with the flow and can easily change my schedule to fit what a pet needs. Whether it’s walking the dog early in the morning, playing with them in the afternoon, or feeding them at night, I’m always flexible and ready to adjust. I always do exactly what my clients ask me to do, whether it’s about feeding their pet on time, giving them medicine, or teaching them good behavior. I know how important it is to keep things consistent for pets, so I try to make their routine as comfortable and familiar as possible.
“We've booked with Karen several times now, and she consistently does a fantastic job! She's incredibly patient with our picky eater pup and attentive to the special needs of our senior dog. Karen provides thoughtful, detailed updates with photos and always plans ahead to ensure our dogs receive the best possible care. We highly recommend her!”


About: Hi, I’m Sarah! I’m 18 years old and have loved animals for as long as I can remember. I grew up with both dogs and cats and currently have four dogs of my own, so caring for pets has always been a huge part of my life. I currently work at a dog daycare in Lawrence, where I care for dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities. My job includes supervising playgroups, feeding, giving medications, monitoring behavior, and making sure every dog is safe and happy. Working with so many different dogs has taught me how important it is to treat every pet as an individual. I’m also very comfortable caring for cats. Whether your cat is outgoing and social or prefers their own space, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and stress free while you’re away. I recently graduated high school and will be attending JCCC this fall to start my pre-veterinary studies. My goal is to become a veterinarian, so caring for animals isn’t just a job for me it’s something I’m truly passionate about! My boyfriend, Cameron, accompanies me on pet sitting visits. If you’d prefer I come alone, that’s absolutely fine! I’m always happy to do whatever makes you most comfortable. When we do meet in greets- I can bring him along! I work Tuesday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM, but I’m available before work, during my breaks, and after work. I also have full availability on weekends and Mondays. Pet care fits naturally into my schedule, and I do my best to be flexible to meet your pet’s needs. When I’m caring for your pet in their own home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. Whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, medications, or plenty of cuddles, I’ll make sure they get the attention and care they deserve. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I’d love the chance to meet you and your pets! Feel free to reach out with any questions or to set up a meet and greet.
“I cannot say enough good things about Kyra. She provides the absolute best care for our pup & kitties. She’s incredibly attentive, responsive, and ALWAYS goes the extra mile to support our needs.”

“My original sitter canceled the day of and I was rushing to contact a new one - I came across Elena‘s profile and messaged her around 2 pm for a 5 pm sitting and she made it 🤗 I am SUPER thankful and hate to do last minute bookings but I really appreciate that she was able to make it and feed my cat in time.”

Bailee was fantastic to work with, and took great care of our needy cat. She was reliable, warm, and professional. She kept us updated, dealt with our cat’s quirks without complaint, and left the house in impeccable condition. I would book her again with zero reservations.

Hailie is such an incredible sitter! She’s amazing with my cat, Max, and she’s great at giving constant updates and going out of her way to make sure Max is well taken care of. She’s also been available every time I’ve booked with her. So I highly recommend booking her; she’s the best!
