“This was my first time to use Rover and I had such a great experience with Marinda! She watched my cat while I was away for a few days and she kept me updated with photos and videos on each visit. I recently changed my cats food and he has been iffy with it, but Marinda gave me peace of mind letting me know how he was eating with each drop-in visit. She kept the litter box clean, vacuumed up messy litter, and even washed a few dishes! I could tell my cat Buzz loved playing with her based on the videos she sent. She was always quick to respond and thorough in her updates. I will definitely use her services again and I highly recommend her for your pet!”
14. Derek M.
“Derek provided excellent service and cat care during my absence! From the initial inquiry to the final day, communication was friendly, prompt and clear. My cat was relaxed and comfortable with Derek, evident from the initial meet and greet, as well as the pictures he sent while I was gone. Upon return, my cat seemed content, and all her tasks and needs fulfilled. Derek's skill and experience with cats and cat sitting were apparent and appreciated in my experience!”
15. Jackson O.
“I've known Jackson for over 10 years and he is a very responsible and trustworthy person. Having spent time with him recently, it is very obvious that he loves and takes great care of his two cats. While visiting, my wife and I brought our dog (very large, energetic, shepherd/lab mix) and Jackson was able to play and walk him really easily. I think Jackson would do a amazing job and take great care of any dog that is entrusted to him!”
16. Kelsi S.
“Kelsi was great with my Great Dane puppy Pepper. She was on time, kind and clearly loving towards Pepper. We would absolutely hire her again!”
17. Shannon A.
“Shannon went above and beyond for our baby while we were out of town with limited cell service. It was obvious she showed him so much attention during her drop ins and even went out of her way to take care of a sore spot that showed up while we were gone. I truly appreciate you allowing us to enjoy our trip and hope to have you watch him again in the future!”
18. Arrica W.
About: Ive gained my experience working with dogs of all size from my previous jobs, I've worked for Dog pawz(westport) and Noah's ark animal clinic as kennel attendants, as well as Woof's Stay and Play as a bath tech and pack leader The Pack leaders and Kennel Attendant's duty is to walk the pets,feed and clean up their kennel area as well as giving medication when required. I've also taken care of other pets outside of work when mom/dad are away or when they are just too busy to take their dogs for walks.Also I am interested in becoming a groomer and what better way to expand my knowledge on dogs than to work with them! The more experience the better! Currently, I am working at a new doggy daycare in Leawood and I'm usually surrounded by in average 60-100+dogs. A typical day for you pet will look like a whole lot of loving and play time with toys and long walks if the weather permits. I really love animals and just being around them brings me such joy and excitement. Im self employed so I'm pretty flexilbe for drop-ins and daily walks. Im avaible for drop-ins and walks from 8a.m.-4p.m and 7:30p.m-10p.m, but again I'm flexible. Whatever the client needs for their pet to be comfortable and whatever makes them comfortable having me in their home. I will clean up messes, take pet for daily walks, provide playtime, feed, medicate etc.
