“Melissa sent me loads of photos and took great care of my 2 year old dog and new, 8-week old puppy. She made me feel completely comfortable leaving them and they were happy, safe, and sound when we returned home :)”
“Kristina was great. She did a meet and greet before our trip, and gave an update with pics from her drop-in for our senior cats. They loved their playtime and attention.”
“Lindsey was wonderful! Did she take care of my sometimes ornery cat, but she even washed the food dishes each day. It's always talk to trust a stranger to watch your pet but I would have no problem with Lindsey taking care of my cat Tano!”
“Sarah has been dropping in during the work week for our older dog for several months now. Always so great with her, plays outside, and gives her a much needed break to the workday. Would 100% recommend, she's wonderful with our pup!”
About: Hi there! My name is Dawn - I've always had cats for as long as I can remember. Over the years I've had 4 cats, I've volunteered at a few cat shelters including Ferndale Catfe and Petco. I've also fostered cats for Rosie's Kitty Catfe and I'm currently fostering for Precious Pet League. As someone who loves to travel I understand how much you will miss your pet while on vacation- knowing your pet is being well cared for and getting updates puts you and your pet more at ease. I would love to provide your cat (or small dog) the same level of care I would want for my cats while away. I also had rats growing up and would love to stop in to care for your rats, ferrets or other rodent pet. I'm a stay at home wife and have plenty of time to come to your home for proper care including play time with pictures and/or videos. My phone takes some good pictures! 🤳🏼🐈 In your home I will be there to feed, check that they have enough water, treats at your discretion and I will do my best to ensure your cat is comfortable. Daily photos and videos will be provided. I understand that sometimes cats need a bit more time to be reassured you're a safe person. I like to use Churu treats and/or catnip for cats who are a bit more shy- if your cat wants space from me I will respect that and try to provide a soothing and calm presence. Please let me know if there is anything particular that will make YOUR pet feel the most comfortable and I'll be happy to accommodate their unique needs. ---- I'm currently not offering boarding due to having a foster cat. When space opens up I will be able to take your cat for long term boarding - your cat will have his or her own guest room and if boarding is long term slow introductions to my cats will be done so your cat can be socialized and given access to the rest of the house. We have experience with successful slow introductions. I want your cat to feel at ease while you're traveling.
About: I have had a 4 legged companion nearly my entire life. Dogs and I tend to have a mutual understanding and respect for each other. I have worked with teacup sized to extra large dogs with complete comfort in my ability to communicate with dogs I work from home currently with my own attention seeking dog, he would love a friend and I may as well take care of more dogs since it's second nature to me. Depends on what the client wants. I play chase, tug, fetch, "what's that" with my dog. If the weather is nice I will leave the back door open so he can come in and go out as he pleases. Water is always down, treats and food are given by me. I don't have a kennel but if you want your dog to have one I welcome them in my home.
About: I have taken care of all ages, but my specialty is seniors. I am great with furry friends that love a strict schedule as well as those that go with the flow. I am great at hiding icky medicine in their favorite foods. I am also active and would love to go on walks or play fetch with the energetic babies. I truly enjoy pet care, and at this time I am available on the weekends and an odd Friday. I am able to pop in for check-ins and potty breaks or stay full time. I am great at following instructions for your pets care. I always clean up after watching fur babies and try to leave the place better than I found it. I bring my own food most often as well.
About: I have been relied on by my friends and relatives to take care of their dogs for 15 years. They have trusted me to watch their home and their dogs when they need someone. I have some experience administering oral medicine (pills) to dogs. Currently, I am available most times and days for pet care. Tuesdays and Thursdays I am possibly not available from about 11:30am-2:30pm because I walk my sister's puppy then, but it is only when she needs me. I will happily visit or stay at your home to care for your pet. I am great at following directions and will happily do whatever you need me to do to care for your pet how you want me to or how your pet is used to being cared for.
About: I am a pre-vet student at K-State. Also, I have been working as a vet assistant for the past 3 years. I have experience handling animals of all temperament levels. I am currently a full time student but I still have plenty of time throughout the week to spend walking your dogs and forming a relationship with them so they feel comfortable with me! I have experience handling animals of all temperament levels and walking dogs around other dogs, your pet will be in very good hands with me.
“Kelly was great with the dogs - we have two bigger males (70lb husky and 100lb husky mix). It's clear that she really enjoys pets and the dogs had a great time. We will definitely be booking her again. She was very friendly and informative for the visit.”
About: While growing up on a farm, I have always loved caring for dogs, cat, and horses with various needs. Friends and family have trusted me with their four legged companions of all sizes for many years. Whether your dog needs to burn some energy on a fun walk or your cat needs a friendly drop-in visit, I can't wait to meet them! 🐾 I currently have a very sweet Australian Shepherd, an extra fluffy cat, and four gentle horses and two donkeys - all with unique personalities and needs. I work remotely from home, so my schedule is relatively flexible. I'm more than happy to spend time with your pet, ensuring they receive proper care and attention. My backyard is fenced in, with plenty of room to play ball or practice agility. I respect other pet owner's space and home, as well as rules for handling or caring for their pets, ensuring I am both assertive and friendly.
“Molly was great! My cat is very shy with newcomers. I fully expected her to not come out when Molly visited but my cat immediately warmed up to her. It felt great to know that my cat was having fun and getting her daily cuddles when I was away. I also loved how Molly would send pictures after every visit. I would definitely recommend Molly.”
About: I have taken care of all pets, big, small, and even on their way to the rainbow bridge. When it comes to a pet, they're not just a pet, they're family and should be treated as such. I have taken care of my family's pets, friends pets, and even my own for 10+ years, and have always enjoyed giving company to pets in need. They all have their own personalities that have spoken so deeply to me throughout the years, and I sincerely enjoy their love and company, and I am willing to go above and beyond for each and everyone of them, even if they're not mine! In the morning I usually check food and water, fill that based off of schedule per pet-parents request, I then proceed to play with pets, even my own for a long while, I then will either take then for a walk, do some training with treats and lots of reinforcement. I will comfort pets in need, as well as give them the proper attention and care needed. I have an open area for my pets to run freely, and have been trained for such an area. For other pets, I do understand how different that may be to some, which is completely understandable. I will care for pets in mine or their environment based off of the pet parent's needs and wants for their pet.
About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was 12, and over the years I’ve looked after everything from cats and dogs to goats, turtles, frogs, and more. Animals have always been a huge part of my life I genuinely can’t imagine life without them. Some of my earliest memories are of my first dog, who I grew up with from the time I was two years old until she passed away at 15. As she got older, I helped manage her joint pain and ear infections, so I’m very comfortable giving medication and providing special care for senior pets. For the past few years, I’ve been working through Rover, where I’ve built a reputation for delivering high quality, compassionate care. Whether it’s daily walks, overnight stays, or special medical needs, I always go the extra mile to make sure pets are happy and healthy. When it comes to cats, my experience runs just as deep. I started fostering kittens when I was 12 and have been helping rehabilitate feral cats ever since, getting them ready for their forever homes. Right now, I share my home with two amazing cats who mean the world to me. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do, it’s a huge part of who I am. I’m currently taking a break from university and plan to return next year. In the meantime, I do Rover full time, which means I’ll be with your pup throughout the day! My schedule lets me give plenty of time, attention, and care to your pet, making sure all their needs are met and they always feel safe and loved. I’m dedicated to giving your pet the best care and making sure their well being is always my top priority. I have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time, and since I work from home doing Rover full time, I’m with the pets 24/7. Your dog will never be left alone or unattended. I also have two cats, but they’ll be safely tucked away in my room with the door closed, so there won’t be any interaction unless you specifically tell me it’s okay. For dogs who are crate trained, I have both medium and large crate options available. If your pet needs medication or any special care, you can feel confident knowing I have plenty of experience and will handle everything with attention and care.
About: I come from a big family that always had animals around. Dogs, cats, horses, chickens, bunnies, etc. I grew up caring for those pets with feeding, walking, and washing responsibilities. I'm living at home now for the summer surrounded by horses, dogs, ducks, bunnies and chickens :) I currently work until 5pm. But I'm free most evenings for drop in's and walks and/ or overnights. I am usually free weekends with much more time flexibility! I'll make sure your pet is fed, safe and comfortable. I'll play with them and give them lots of love. I love long walks and I'll even run with them if you'd like!
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life! Grew up on a farm with horses, chickens, ducks and dogs! I have a golden retriever, Donnie, currently! I have had cats before as well! I am currently working tues-Friday full time as a dental assistant but am available all day Saturday and Mondays! I can do drop in visits or walks! I have a golden of my own and we love going on long walks and is well trained! I am confident in saying I can help take care of your special fur babies

Dawn M.
“Dawn loves animals and they love her. I saw her go out of her way to take care of her aging and sick cat (Tutti) for many years. She was meticulous about her medications, food, and comfort. She's also very mindful and compassionate. When she fosters new cats, for example, she gives them time and space to acclimate at their own pace before introducing them to her two cats (Mikasa and Hange). I know I felt completely at ease leaving my old dog with her whenever I had to travel, and other people feel the same way.”
