HUGE thanks to Michele for being able to come over on such short notice to let my pup out during the day!! I have used Michele a handful of times, and I can't say enough wonderful things about her and her family. Thanks again, Michele! :)

Shanelle was great! She sent me pictures of my dog and kept me updated on how my dog was doing. I will definitely use her next time we go out of town.

About: I am an insured pet sitter and also a teacher! I have watched several people's fur babies. I have lots of experience with animals and even own 5 of my own. I am trustworthy and reliable and you never will have to worry about your 4 legged family. Please message me regarding pricing. I work full time during the school year as a teacher and pet sitting works perfectly with that schedule as I am able to be available for all your pet needs and this is the only thing I do throughout the summer. I look forward to meeting your fur babies. I do my best to keep your pets in routine and follow directions very closely as to what my clients want done and make sure and send them updates throughout their vacation as well.

About: I have owned pets all my life from dogs and cats to ferrets and lizards. I am currently studying animal science in pursue of a degree in veterinary medicine. I have trained puppies and volunteered at shelters so I have been exposed to lots of different dog breeds. Last summer I worked side by side with a Vet and gained lots of experience with many animals. My schedule is very flexible considering I am a college student and only work when I am home on breaks. I am working at a vet clinic and getting experience in that field. I am also available on weekends and capable of working with you to put the needs of your pet first. My dogs have a fenced in yard so during this time of year they spend a lot of time outside and playing fetch. We have crate trained them as puppies so I can accommodate to any means necessary.

About: Growing up I was never without a pet. We always had cats and dogs. I have helped care for pets since I was a little girl and often watched animals for family friends. I had my very first dog at 18 who turned out to be deaf. Taking care of him was not easy but so worth all the love we shared. Sadly he passed away from Cancer in 2013. I live a few blocks from the Eudora Elementary school and love walking the trail that goes behind it. I find joy in watching my own animals run and play. I treat all animals as if they were my own children. I currently work through the week but I am looking to grow my clients through Rover so I may watch animals full time as I absolutely love them! Right now I am available in the early afternoon/evening and most weekends to do check-ins. I currently work from home and can do doggy day care or boarding through the week and your pet will not be left alone. I hope to be able to watch animals full time eventually. I am married and have a 7 year old son. My husband and son share in my love for animals. We have 2 cats and 2 dogs who are super spoiled just like our son. We love to play and cuddle as a family. Our favorite is to cuddle up on the couch with our fur babies and watch a movie. In the client's home I will respect specific requests and respect your home as if it were my own. I can assure a safe, loving, and loyal friend to walk/care your animal. I will gladly take and send picture updates while with your pet to help ensure your pets safety. I'm also happy to help with an special accommodations your pet needs.

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!

About: I have been taking care of animals since I was a very little girl. I love all types of animals and my children and I would do anything to provide for any animal. I am a busy mom with a full time job, that being said us moms have super powers so I can make pretty much anything fit into my schedule. The workweek I would be available for early mornings and evenings but the weekends are open and flexible. I have a big backyard and a lovable shitzu and lab to keep your animal company. I enjoy taking walks and getting exercise and playing inside or outside.

Michelle exceeded all of our expectations and we HIGHLY RECOMMEND her! Michelle genuinely loves pet sitting - and it shows! She immediately bonded with our stubborn, energetic, eccentric 13 year old dog and she was very warm and understanding of all of our dog's strange habits - of which there are many!! Michelle is reliable, trustworthy, detailed, incredibly caring and is a great communicator - she kept us updated throughout the day. Not only was our dog given excellent care, but our house was PRISTINE when we returned home - she even washed our dog's food paraphernalia!! She's amazing!!

About: Hello, I have 4 children, as well as a 2 cute mini golden-doodles. Our female golden doodle recently had 4 puppies that I took care of for the two months we had them. I also grew up with a boxer in my family that I love and adore. After growing up with a dog, I knew I needed one of my own one day. With having 4 kids, a mom needs sometime to herself. And the best way I thought I would enjoy my time alone is taking/caring for pets. I love walks and can come and let them out to play and feed them As well. Message me for any additional questions. My husband has weird hours, but has a consistent schedule. We can set up a schedule that works best for both of us. I look forward to taking care of your pets! I’m a stay at home mom, with two kids in preschool, 1 in elementary, and a 10mo old at home with me. I can do morning visits, afternoon visits, or evening visits. I am happy to do drop in visits that include feeding them, letting them out to potty/play, and taking them on a walk if needed.

I have experience with basic training and behavior modification, so I’m confident handling everything from energetic puppies to dogs who need a little extra patience. I’m all about enriching adventures—whether it’s a hike, a neighborhood stroll, or a game of fetch in the yard. As a bonus, I’m happy to give your dog a bath before heading home so they’re clean and cozy when they return to you! I have a flexible schedule and often work from home, which means your pup will have plenty of company and attention throughout the day. On the rare occasion I need to step into the office, I’m never gone long—I make sure to return within a couple of hours to check in, play, and care for your dog. Your pup’s comfort and routine are always my top priority! Your dog’s safety and comfort come first in my care. I provide a secure, loving environment with a large, fully fenced-in yard for safe outdoor play and plenty of room to relax inside.

I’m committed to creating a calm, consistent, and safe experience—because peace of mind matters for both you and your pup.

I don’t have the most user friendly dog. She is scared of strangers and slow to warm. She is a boxer pit and can be intimidating. I am always nervous about her with strangers. She was rescued from a bad bad situation and has come so far from when we got her. Amelia was amazingly patient and genuine with her. She sent me a picture and Annie looked so relaxed with her! I am definitely rebooking with them because they are so great with my big little scaredy-cat dog!

I’ve had both dogs and cats growing up, and I currently have four dogs of my own, so I’m very used to different personalities and routines. I work at a local dog daycare in Lawrence where I handle dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I have a lot of hands on experience with feeding, supervising play, and giving medications. I’m comfortable with pretty much any type of dog high energy, shy, older dogs, or ones that need a little extra care. I’m also a huge cat person and have plenty of experience caring for cats too!

On workdays, I’m available for care after 6pm plus I can check your pet before work + on my breaks! . Pet care fits easily into my routine, and I’m happy to be flexible when needed! when I’m in a client’s home I just try to keep everything as normal as possible for the pet.

I’m also used to giving meds if needed. I treat their home with respect and their pets like my own.

About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, horses, pot belly pigs, and rabbits professionally over the summers during undergrad. I have walked, played, fed, medicated, cleaned up after, and cared for in whatever way owners have needed and preferred. I am very flexible to your specific requests and understand that pets are family. Currently, I am working part-time with a very flexible schedule. I can make any day or night of the week work with notice, and I usually can make it work without warning. I won't watch pets in my home as I do not currently have a fenced-in yard, however, I am happy to take them on walks and watch them from their homes. I respect your privacy and prioritize the comfort of your pet.
