Pet Sitting in Maize

About: Hi, I’m Abby! Animals have always been a significant part of my life. I started – MyPetFriendsICT – as my very own local pet-sitting and homemade treat company in 2023 to help raise money for my competition dance team and colorguard activities, in addition to allowing me to pay my way for a nine-day educational trip to London & Paris, during my Senior year at Maize South High School. I am on my summer break after finishing my Freshman year at ESU before returning to Emporia for Sophomore year in mid-August, and I am doing all my dog-sitting back in the Wichita area. I am excited to offer my pet care services that ensure your furry friends are well cared for while you are away. My affordable rates already include Rover’s fees, so you know exactly what you’ll pay before you book—making it a win-win for both of us! No care is too short, and no vacation is too long! Whether you need a quick 15-minute drop-in for a potty break, a longer 30-45-minute visit for exercise and companionship, or overnight stays, I’m here to help. With seven+ years of pet-sitting experience across Wichita and Sedgwick County, I look forward to assisting you with your pet-sitting service needs this Summer! Growing up with multiple dogs instilled a deep love for canine companionship. I also have a strong affection for other animals, including cats, birds, hamsters, guinea pigs, fish, and reptiles. Currently, I have three dogs aged 6 to 13, all requiring daily medications, so I understand the importance of providing extra care. I am responsible and detail-oriented. I am experienced in caring for dogs of all ages—from playful puppies to senior dogs who need a bit of special attention. I will provide a loving and nurturing environment for your pets, whether for a day or an extended period. Your furry friends will feel right at home with me, allowing them to stay in the comfort of their own space—there is no need for a kennel! Most importantly, I love animals and can’t wait to meet yours! It's essential to maintain your pets' personalized schedules to help reduce stress and keep them safe, happy, and ready to cuddle when you return home. As a full-time student, I prioritize keeping my class and practice schedule up-to-date alongside my pet-sitting availability, ensuring you know when I’m available well in advance. I strive to be as flexible as your schedule requires. Living on campus, I genuinely enjoy taking quick breaks from my studies to care for your furry family members. Not only is it beneficial for their mental health, but it also brings me joy and relaxation! Your pet's care will always adhere to your requests and instructions! As a full-time college-aged student, I can only care for your pets in your home, but I promise to leave it just as I found it. I have experience staying in clients’ homes overnight for periods of up to several weeks, always ensuring I clean up after myself and your pets. I will care for your pet and keep them as safe as you would. I’ll love them as if they were my own, providing plenty of affection and attention. Additionally, I will follow any training, diet, or other instructions you leave for me. My goal is to make your life easier while prioritizing normalcy and maintaining your pets' routines.

“Rachel was great! She made leaving our cat, Rory, much easier. Knowing Rory was getting attention and care allowed us to enjoy ourselves while we were away. Rachel is kind, caring, and understanding. Appreciated the photos she sent of Rory, too. Would use her again! 😻”

About: I have had experience with every age of both dogs and cats from newborn to senior. I've bottle fed puppies and kittens, potty trained them, adopted them out, kept some, raised them through their adult life, and cared for them as seniors. I've also taken in many strays and fosters and nursed them back to health, whether it was some scratches or they just weren't doing good, and found good homes for them. I know how to bottle feed, ween, potty train, groom, give medication, clean/sanitize injuries, and much more. I also volunteer in humane societies so that has given me advice and techniques for helping earn animals trust, especially when they are being boarded in an unknown house. I work from home so I am almost always there, unless I have to run to the store or do some quick errands. If I happen to visit friends or family, go to a sit down restraunt, or do anything else that might take longer, it will never be for more than 2-3 hours. I do not kennel unless necessary or if requested (during feedings, if I have to run somewhere, in emergencies, ect.), so they will have free reign otherwise. If they have a feeding schedule, great, if not, I'll make sure the bowls always full. Fresh water is always available in multiple locations. I don't have a fence so dogs will always be leashed going outside and will be taken whenever they want to or every couple hours. Cats litter boxes are spot cleaned once a day, and switched once a week or when needed if they will be staying for longer. My golden rule is treat others how you want to be treated, and that extends to animals aswell. I don't yell, ignore, or force anything to do something that isn't necessary. Obviously no one wants to take medication, but if they have to, I'll be as quick and careful giving it as I can.

“I cannot say enough great things about Hali. Even though she was only with us for a short time, she gave my pup so much love and attention. Roman loved her and wanted all the pets from her. I would recommend her to all of my family and friends.”

“Jennifer did an awesome job! She made sure our dog was fed, walked & got a bunch of cuddles. She even went above & beyond in cleaning an accident on the carpet & brought out trash can in from the end of the driveway. Oreo gives her four paws up!”

About: I’ve taken care of reptiles, rats, dogs and cats for many years. I always spend extra time with all the animals in my care and love them as my own. I know how to groom dogs and train them as I have spent a lot of time raising and training puppies. And I’m excellent in watching after cats and making them feel comfortable. I love playing and providing physical and mental stimulation to all pets. And a low stress environment. I know how to train basic obedience commands and manners for puppies and adult dogs as I have with dogs I have watched as well as my own even advanced commands. I work 12 hour shifts 15 days out of the month so for 15 days I am completely free and I only work 2 days in a row. but on the days I work I am still available for drop-ins, dog walks or boarding and I am able to come home at the 6 hour mark to let the dog out and play for a 20ish minutes. My schedule is a little abnormal. Since I’m free for half of the weekdays of the month I have a lot of time on my hands and am more then happy to drop in,walk or board your pup or cat. During house sitting, I make sure to keep their routine as consistent as possible, offering plenty of love, playtime, and attention so they feel at ease while their owners are away. For drop-in visits, I focus on giving them quality one-on-one time, whether that means feeding, refreshing water, play, or cuddles, whatever they need most in that moment.

About: I’ve worked in a vet hospital for over 9 years in a wide range of positions/duties. Working with dogs is a pleasure of mine and I know how much more comfortable they can be at home! I work full-time but can make visits at least 3x/day during the week! Of course over the weekends, your babies will get much more attention!! I am open to whatever your pet needs in order to keep them comfortable! This can be discussed as needed. Safety of everyone involved is an utmost priority!

About: I have 4 doggies at the present time. I'm retired military and businessman in wichita for many years. I love all dogs but have a special connection with my doodles they are great companionship for me. I have a 50 x 40 turf area for play time or just chilling summer time is our pool time relaxing by the pool or playing some catch. My training skills are limited but you can teach an ole dog new tricks speaking of myself LOL. No really why I want to help is I have had to board my doggies 1 time and will not traumatize them again like that. I am available to pickup and drop off for convenient worry free trouble about your furry family member. Retired, my schedule is mostly free. 35 year military veteran 13 grandchildren typical day dog park and a walk and I have started grooming my doodles which has been a rewarding experience daily routines are dog park and a hardy 3 mile walk Fenced and turfed back yard. I have 2 3 doodles and a mix poodle we walk the lake area across street for a nice 1.25 mile walk.

About: For the last 15 years I've been the go to sitter for family, friends, and friend's friends! I love meeting new pets and getting to give them a little vacation of their own. I'm no stranger to medicating animals, and love a good training or play session. So far, I've taken care of geckos, cockatiels, hamsters, various fish, English bulldogs, German Shepards, maltases, golden doodles, pitties, various labs, and more! I am available for over nights with advance notice, but am presently accepting swing-by cares. I am currently working a flexible part-time schedule. Luckily, I live near the highway and have easy access to most of Wichita and surrounding areas! Due to a few fur babies of my own - I am unable to provide care in MY home. However, when in client's home I happily take care of minor chores while providing playtime, walks (when the lovey is a dog of course), and company. With kitties I will always spend a few extra hours company with them. All drop ins are a guaranteed 1 hour visit.

“We have never left our old girl alone before and were nervous about it, but Carolyn updated ands sent us pictures, which made it much easier! Our lady was very happy and well taken care of :)”

About: I’ve worked at a doggy daycare and volunteered at the humane society- I have also had dogs and cats for 17 years of my life! Currently, I have purposely left my schedule completely open for pet care during the week. I am available day or night, 7 days a week. I have a fenced in yard and a friendly dog in my home. I am very good at reading dog body language and knowing their limits while caring for them.

About: I have had dogs my whole life. I currently have 2 dogs of my own. Zoey is 10 (that’s where I started counting my experience) and Griffin is 6. I love all kinds of dogs. In college, I did some dog sitting for relatives. I do not own any cats but do not mind looking out for cats as well! I work full time on the week days but available in the evenings to stop in for a walk or to play. I am available on the weekends any time to stop in and love on your furry family member! For boarding, I have a small yard but is fenced in by decorative panels. I am always outside when my dogs are out and I monitor them closely! My dogs enjoy playing with other dogs and your pets would feel right at home for the weekend! At your home, I will follow your guidelines in regards to feeding, walking, medicine, and any other routines you have set for your pets. I want your pet to feel safe and comfortable and you know their routine best. For boarding, I will follow any specific guidelines and your pups routine!
