“Kyra is such a great find on Rover! She is 100% reliable and takes such good care of Rocko. He is excited to see her every time she arrives. She does a wonderful job with notes and photos as well. Kyra previously stayed with him and I was excited to find her available again. I highly recommend her.”
About: I grew up on a farm taking care of a wide variety of animals, and have a senior husky of my own who is my family. Compassionate care and enrichment is my specialty - exploring sniff spots, play time, having a calm demeanor, and understanding animal behavior is essential to ensure they are happy and healthy! I have logged over 500+ hours as a wildlife rehabber, which includes caring for a variety of animals with different needs and diets, administering medication, and even tube feeding the young so they can eventually be placed back into their natural habitat. Originally from Topeka, I've volunteered extensively at Helping Hands Humane Society and now at the Lawrence Humane Society, spending time in the cat and dog socialization areas. Pets are our family. Whether your dog loves long adventures, leisurely walks, or simply relaxing at home, I'll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you're away. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your pet is being treated with the same care and attention I'd give my own. I work a remote job which means I have flexibility to take care of your pet(s) throughout the day, and of course flexibility in the evenings and weekends. I am highly active and take advantage of getting steps in, and what better way to do that than with a furry friend (or two)! I currently do not offer in-home care at this time due to limited space. However, I am available to visit your home for check-ins and walks.
“I was a brand new customer for Rover, not knowing exactly what I was doing, and Petra responded before I booked and answered all my questions and made me feel very comfortable for having someone I’ve never met. Take care of these dogs twice a day. I met her the evening before and then she consistently showed up on time modified her schedule as needed, and the dogs were well taken care of and loved going on the walks. If you’re new to river, Petra is an excellent choice !!”
About: Hello my name is Quincie! I am an animal lover and I provide excellent care to cats and dogs. I’ve grown up with dogs and cats never not having at least one around. I have always taken care of my own pets but as far as other people’s pets I’ve been pet sitting and dog walking for friends and family since I was about 10 years old. I also have experience with animals that have very high needs. I’ve had insane puppies that need lots of guidance and training, senior cats and dogs that need patience, pets with important medical needs, and I’ve even owned a cat with diabetes who needed insulin injections twice daily with strict eating schedules. Currently I am working at a doggy daycare and boarding facility in Lawrence Kansas. I recently moved here and am wanting to start pet sitting again! I currently am working about 35 hours a week, typically early mornings. I am happy to care for your pets as long as our schedules align. Please reach out with any questions! In clients home I will follow their exact instructions and use my best judgment. I understand that all pets and pet parents operate differently so I think it is best to do what your pet is used to while you are away especially with nervous pets.

About: I have taken care of my family's own dogs and neighbors' dogs since I was 14. I have experience training obedience and I raised and trained my own puppy at 17. I have experience with various training methods including R+, and I have extensive experience with high energy dogs.

About: I’ve lived with animals my entire life and absolutely love getting to spend time with them. Since moving away for college, I especially miss having furry companions around, so I’m excited to give your pets the same care and attention I would give my own. I have experience caring for cats and small dogs, as well as larger dogs. I have experience with pet sitting, since I have been doing it on and off for the past couple of years. I’ve been responsible for feeding, playing with, supervising, and generally keeping pets happy and comfortable. Before I became the primary caregiver for the dog in my household, I also had a guinea pig who managed to learn even more tricks than our dog! I’m patient, attentive, and happy to work with each pet’s individual personality and routine. Whether your pet wants an energetic walk, some playtime, or simply a calm companion while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel safe, cared for, and loved. As a part-time worker and student, I have a flexible schedule with plenty of gaps throughout the day that I can dedicate to pet care. This allows me to work around your pet’s usual routine and provide care, walks, playtime, or check-ins at a variety of times. While pets are not allowed to stay overnight in my apartment, I’m happy to care for them in your home and make sure they receive plenty of attention while you’re away. I provide pet care in my client’s home, allowing pets to stay in a familiar and comfortable environment while their owners are away. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, and giving them plenty of attention and companionship. I understand that every pet has different needs and personalities, so I’m happy to follow specific instructions from their owners. I’ll also make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and cared for throughout each visit. Since pets are not allowed to stay in my apartment, I do not offer boarding in my home, but I’m happy to provide drop-in visits and walks at your home.
About: I’ve cared for animals my whole life and grew up helping raise my three dogs and two cats, so caring for pets comes naturally to me. I personally helped potty train my dogs and understand the patience, consistency, and attention pets need to feel comfortable and cared for. What sets me apart is how genuinely invested I am in every pet I watch. I treat every animal like my own by giving them lots of love, attention, playtime, and cuddles while also making sure they feel safe and comfortable when their owners are away. I’m dependable, attentive to routines, and happy to adapt to each pet’s unique personality and needs. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I currently have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the week. I love spending time outside, going on walks, and staying active, so I’m always happy to bring your furry friend along for exercise and fresh air. I also enjoy quiet nights in, giving pets lots of attention, cuddles, and companionship so they feel comfortable and loved while you’re away. I truly enjoy being around animals, so caring for pets never feels like a job to me. I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for whether they are staying in my home or I am caring for them in a client’s home. In one of my homes we have a fenced yard where dogs can safely play and run around, and in the other I take pets on walks and stay outside with them to make sure they get exercise and attention safely. I’m very flexible and always try to follow each owner’s normal routine so their pet feels as comfortable as possible. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or a calmer environment, I’m happy to adapt to their needs and give them lots of love and attention while you’re away.
“Zoe was great with my dog, Birdie Girl. Birdie is a 50lb ball of chaotic excitement t with no manners. Zoe walked her. Birdie came back tired and happy!! Next walk, Birdie was so excited to see Zoe. She knew it was going to be a good walk! Thanks Zoe!”
About: I’ve been taking care of animals for years! I have lots of experience with different breeds and many different types of caregiving. Some of my experience includes watching two very active pit bull mix siblings. I would check in on the dogs 4+ times per day, take each one on a 2+ mile walk every day, and spend at least 1-2 hours of sit down time so they weren’t lonely. I watched those lovely dogs for 2-3 weeks at a time for numerous years! My most recent experience was taking care of Two english pointers, a rottweiler, and smaller mutt dog for 3 nights! Each dog had a separate feeding space and interactive form of eating. I made sure to follow their owners specific instructions and give the dogs lots of walks, outside time, and sit down time for 5+ hours a day! As well as the dogs I took care of two goats at that home as well! I am very capable of walking and pet sitting many different dogs. I have experience with smaller dogs like Mini poodles, to high energy large dogs like weimaraners. I will do my best to give your animals the love and care they deserve. I will make sure that they are healthy, safe, and most importantly happy! I pet sit in STL over the summer and Lawrence KS from August-May Between May-August I work part time at the Sunset Country club. Even with my work I should and will be able to schedule and give your pets the best of care that includes at least 3 or more check ins per day and walks twice or more a day, depending on their needs and your request. I do not work Mondays, which makes me more free! From August-May I am a full time student with a lot of free time to walk pets, stop in, watch them, and more! I care for pets to the best of my ability and give them the most love and care I am capable of! Between my two households, I have 2 dogs and recently one that passed. I take care of my pets and others pets to the best of my ability and want to ensure that your pets are cared for and you trust and are confident that they are healthy, safe, and most importantly, happy! I will always adjust to you and your pets needs, so please communicate openly and fully so I can do my best to give your pets the best!

About: I have taken care of my own dogs and cats since I was 11, including during their illnesses and senior years. Friends and family often ask me to house-sit, feed, entertain, and care for their pets while they are out of town for any amount of time. I have a wide range of experience including kittens, birds, rodents, and large dogs. I currently work part-time/seasonal on a flexible schedule. I am available for all kinds of care outside these hours, including walks, drop-ins, and home sitting. I live in a home with a fenced yard with my three pets, which does not make it ideal for hosting. I do live in a fairly quiet neighborhood where I am able to walk dogs for a long distance without much strain.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and caring for them has always been second nature to me. I often watch my friends’ pets when they travel, and I really enjoy walks, playtime, and making sure dogs feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I already have a pretty consistent routine with work and daily life, so I plan pet care around that. I’m flexible with mornings, evenings, and weekends, and I make sure I always have enough time to properly care for each pet. In a client’s home, I follow their instructions closely to keep pets comfortable in their familiar environment. I handle feeding, fresh water, walks or litter box cleaning, playtime, and any special care needs, while also keeping the home tidy and secure

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Lawrence. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
