“Savannah is the best!! From walking an extra dog I was unexpectedly dog sitting for to bringing her dog over for a play date, she always goes above and beyond!! My pup loves her and seeing the pictures of the fun they have always lifts my spirits at work knowing she’s in good hands!”

5. Lauryn B.
“Our family has been using Lauryn’s pet sitting services for close to 4 years now. We wouldn’t be able to leave town as often without her because she’s the only dog sitter we trust hands down! We have a 4 year-old Border Collie and if anyone knows about this breed they are super sweet but can be challenging. Border collies have a distinct ability to herd and our Kobalt likes to herd anything from strollers to bikes and even cars! Fortunately, Lauryn can easily handle our pup, and we are so appreciative. She actually started sitting for him when he was younger and even wilder! The best part about her is that she has great communication and will even send us pictures while we are gone. She takes care of our pup as if he were her own. We can’t thank her enough for allowing our dog to stay comfortable in his own home then having to rely on a noisy, sterile kennel environment.”


6. Sati L.

“I feel very grateful for Sati’s help while I was in Lawrence over the last 4 weeks. Sati had fantastic communication skills. And was incredibly flexible with walk times! And most importantly, she took great care of our beautiful pup. At the start he was a little nervous, and Sati was great at listening to him, and what he was comfortable with. And eventually she was taking him on big, long walks! Thank you again Sati, for all of your care with precious little Elton!”


7. Hannah D.
“Hannah is an amazing pet caregiver! She has taken amazing care of my cat before and she is my number one choice for the next time I need a pet sitter. She’s responsible, attentive, and caring. Just what my needy & fiesty cat needed!”


8. Abbigail L.
“I've known Abby for several years, and she is very responsible. She loves all animals and enjoys taking care of others. I trust her to watch my house and my cats! She is very sweet and will give your fur babies lots of attention.”


9. Melissa L.
“You won’t find a more loving animal sitter than Melissa. She is the epitome of an animal lover. Melissa has shown nothing but warmth and attentiveness to my two dogs and understands exactly what my expectations are for taking care of them the way that I do and applies it whenever she’s around my pups. I highly recommend Melissa if you’re looking for that person who cares deeply for animals and shows that care 100% when she is responsible for them.”


10. Hailie R.

“Hailie was AMAZING! She sent so many pictures and walked Jojo a good distance! Will definitely be using again!”


11. Grace R.

“Grace was wonderful with my dog Teddy. He is nervous around new people, but warmed up to her very quickly. Grace did a great job walking him while I was gone, and everything was left just as she found it. I will definitely be using her again!”


12. Morgan N.
“My dogs LOVE Morgan! She is so sweet and caring towards our babies, she treats them like her own. She spends time playing with them, they get so excited when she walks through the door and can’t wait for her next visit!”


13. Eva C.

“Eva is amazing...and has been so good for our dog and our family. We can count on her and she is very thorough when talking about our dog. She is a treasure!”

About: I enjoy spending my free time caring for animals! I have had many pets and have a Giant Schnauzer at this time. . I am responsible and will take my time with your fur baby! I have experience, caring for big and small animals, as well as challenging animals. I would absolutely love to help you! I feel our fur babies are our family and I know how important it is to be genuine and caring to yours. I'm currently working a schedule that I have some flexibility with.

I provide my pets and your pets, safety and love. I have experience in training dogs. I have found Positivity and reinforcement often works best!


15. Gwendolyn N.
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life, always having two or more in my home. Growing up, if I wasn’t caring for my own dogs, I was helping friends or neighbors with theirs. My family also fostered/adopted some of the shelters most challenging and overlooked dogs, providing them with the love, attention, and specialized care they needed. Caring for dogs isn’t just a responsibility for me- it’s a passion. I even stole a dog from home to bring to colleges with me because I couldn’t imagine life without one. My friends and family often joke about how much I adore and prioritize my pets, but it’s true - I’m always thinking about their well-being. I’ll bring the same level of care, dedication, and compassion to your furry family members, treating them like my own. As a college student, my schedule is flexible, with only one to 2 classes per day and Fridays completely free. Most afternoons and weekends are open, making it easy for me to accommodate pet care needs. I am on the cheerleading team, with practices on Tuesday and Thursday evenings, as well as Sunday mornings through mid-afternoon. Depending on my cheer schedule, some afternoons may vary in availability, but am committed to finding time to provide your pets with the care they deserve! Safety, trust, and a positive environment are my top priorities when caring for your pets. I understand that every dog had unique needs. I know how stressful it can be for a pet owner to entrust someone with their pets routine, and I am committed to doing my absolute best to follow your instructions and ensure your pet feels at ease. If a pet needs to be crated, I make sure they’re not left alone for extended periods. I’ll take them out frequently for breaks and spend quality time with them to ensure they feel cared for. I am diligent about making sure pets are let outside regularly to go potty or enjoy fresh air, and I make it a priority to give them plenty of time for walks and exercise. I’m also available to spend the night at your home, providing your dog consistent care and companionship overnight.


16. Evelyn F.
“I am a friend of Evelyn’s and these are the reasons I’d recommend her for the job. Evelyn is a wonderful person, who is very compassionate and empathetic. She recently took my dog on an adventure at the dog park and they had a wonderful time. She even took the extra step of giving him a bath after his long afternoon. Overall she is one of the best people that a person could have a relationship with.”


17. Andrew K.
“Drew has been my dog sitter for years. He is very caring and caters to each personality of my 3 dogs. He makes sure they get let out and fed at the correct times. He is also good at making sure they get medications. He is very responsible and leaves the house picked up and clean.”


18. Angela P.
“Angela has a decade plus of pet care for me that has always been above and beyond expectations. A true animal lover, she is responsible, caring, and reliable. She is also very diligent when it comes to special needs of a pet, like administering medications. I highly recommend her!”


19. Ty K.
“Ty is reliable, attentive, and thoughtful. I’ve felt like my doggies were in great hands every time I’ve called on Ty’s services to care for them! She gets a 10/10 in my book!”


20. Tessa G.
“Tessa did 3 drop in visits a day for a whole week last summer for my 3 bulldogs. She did a great job and although my dogs are very easy to please, she did a great job and they loved her! I would highly recommend her for your pets.”
