Very straightforward, responsible, and sweet sitter and the best pick!”

She met us and our dogs beforehand which put us at ease. When stopping by for the drop in she provided us with pictures and updates letting us know how everything was going. If we are in need of a sitter again, we hope to use Arianna. We definitely recommend her!”
About: I have over a decade of dog care experience. I have worked with senior dogs, physically disabled dogs, and all kinds of dog behavior. I have the ability to go on multi-mile walks or just snuggle for hours. Your dog is boss when they’re in my care, and I’ll do anything in my power to make them more comfortable. If you have a very specific schedule or your dog needs medicine at a specific time, I’m your sitter. My work allows me to have very flexible time, and I am never late. Please allow me the opportunity to make your pet parent life a little easier! I work from home full-time, and I have tons of flexibility in my schedule. I can board animals 24/7, and I’m available for at home check-ins whenever your schedule requires. If your dog boards with me, they will have access to my couch/bed, my apartment’s dog park, and miles of local trails. If your cat boards with me, they will have access to my cat tree, scratching posts, and all the hiding holes they could wish for. Your animal will be safe in my controlled environment, they will always be within eye sight, and they will have all the attention they could want. I pride myself on safety, and your animal will have the best care when they’re with me!
“Laela P. is a blessing to have as a doggie caregiver. My Cane Corso Jollene is a big girl and Laela handles her with ease. Jollene is very happy to have Laela drop-in on her two times a day. I feel relaxed knowing Jollene is being cared for by a professional.”
About: I had a dog for 10 years, helping with training like sit and shake, all the way to helping my dog as a senior. I frequently volunteer on KC Pet Project animal shelter where I have given dogs of all sizes dog day outs! I know how to handle a very excited pup all the way to a mellowed out dog! I am very patient with all animals and love giving them the attention that they need. While my own dog was going through cancer in his final months I took him to all his vet appointments, kept on top of all his medicine and physical care. I am currently a college student at the University of Kansas. My class schedule allows me to visit/walk your furry friends starting at 10:30 in the morning all the way to the late hours of the night! Helping your pet will allow me and your pup to get the exercise and fresh air that we both need. With my class schedule I can ensure your pet will walk in the morning before it becomes too hot and drop in any time of the day. I will make it a priority to visit your pet 3-5 times a day. Providing them with walks, playtime, snuggles and food. I will ensure safety for your pet by taking them out regularly, making sure their water bowl is replenished and hopefully keeping them a happy dog while the client is away! If your pet is a senior dog I have experience with administering oral pills for your pup, applying cream, eye drops, or any other kind of medication. If you pet is a pup I can provide safety from other dogs to reduce the risk of harm to your pup and the other pooch.
“Karen was absolutely wonderful with our pup! She went above and beyond what we expected, showing such thoughtfulness in every detail of her care. Not only did she make sure our dogs where happy and well-fed, but she also stayed longer than anticipated during her visits, giving us such peace of mind. It’s clear she genuinely loves what she does, and we couldn’t be happier with her attentive, caring approach. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a rover sitter who truly goes the extra mile!”
“Elyea was wonderful with our three dogs! We have an old grumpy dog, and a dog with a bit of anxiety - she handled it all with ease. We got an update and pics with each visit which was reassuring for us while we were away. We will definitely be using Elyea again and would HIGHLY recommend her to care for your pets!”
