“Madeline took great care of our 2 cats while we were away. She responded quickly and was very friendly and eager to get to know them. We received detailed reports and photos at each of her check-ins, including of our shy girl who usually takes quite awhile to feel safe enough to come out of hiding with someone new. Maddy was caring. thorough and reliable. She clearly loves cats and we would definitely feel confident leaving ours in her care in the future!”



“Amber did a fantastic job with my two pups. My puppies were very relaxed and happy when I returned home. She went out her way and even played with them to keep them occupied during her drop-in visits. I Would highly recommend her to anyone.”

“Fantastic dog sitter! Knowledgeable and very responsive. Handles my VERY excitable dogs easily. Asked questions I hadn't even thought of, which goes to show her professionalism. Will definitely rebook her in the future.”


“Randi was wonderful and made me feel a lot better about leaving my cat while I go on vacation. My cat loved her and the updates were great! Will be rebooking Randi in the future!”


About: As a dog owner myself, I’ve had experience with dogs all my life. I currently have a german shepherd of my own that I’ve trained and took care of since he was a puppy. In the past, I’ve been a sitter for all sizes of dogs, and have grown the knowledge of understanding when dogs need to go outside, be fed, etc. I am currently babysitting once-2x a week for a family and looking to fill my week days. I am available Mondays, Tuesday afternoons, Wednesdays, and Thursday mornings. Things may change, so feel free to ask if I’m available! I usually know my schedule a week in advance. When it comes to dog sitting, I usually go outside and play with the dog(s) and let them run around as much as possible. I also don’t know if the dog(s) tend to escape or run away so it’s always good to keep an eye on them. When it comes to walking the dog, I like to keep them on a leash and have them close to me. I try not to let them pull me, and stay alert to other people or animals around who may be on a walk as well.

About: I have owned dogs practically my entire life. I believe dogs are some of the best friends someone could ask for! I have taken care of dogs ranging from puppy age all the way to senior dogs. I currently attend Kansas State University pursuing a degree in Architecture. I am picking up this side hustle to hopefully ease the pain of missing my dogs at home! I believe the animal should always be put first and have whatever they need. Enrichment, play time, walks, are all vital to your animals health and I am here to help with that. I will give you and your animal whatever you need to thrive!

“Isabel was so wonderful with my two cats! She was very communicative and took such good care of them. It was so nice to have peace of mind about who was watching them while I was out of town!”


“My dog absolutely loves Emma. I had no worries at all while leaving him in her care. It seems like he had the best time with her while we were away and she sent us so many great pictures of him! We will be hiring her again for any other vacation we go on. It is so nice to have someone we trust in the neighborhood!”


About: With over a decade of experience caring for and training dogs of all sizes and ages since I was 13, I bring a lifetime of passion to pet care. As a biology and pre-vet student at K-State, I combine academic knowledge with hands-on expertise to ensure your pets receive the best care possible. Pet care is an integral part of my daily routine. I own two dogs, two lizards, and three cats, ensuring each of them receives personalized attention and care. My day begins with feeding, exercise, and playtime for my pets, followed by specific care routines for each species. I am passionate about my love for science and pets. I work hard to make sure I provide a loving and nurturing environment for all my pets. Your pets safety is my top priority. Whether it’s on walks or pet sitting. I will make sure to monitor pets closely and follow directions precisely. I’ve studied animal behavior so I have a good grasp on stress levels. Your pets will be cared for in a secure, loving environment where they can thrive.

About: I’ve been around dogs, my entire life! As a kid, we always had a family dog, and my parents often Fostered. This allowed me to become comfortable with a large range of dogs, regardless of age, energy levels, or size. When I was 12 I adopted a dog of my own, Gypsy, who is now 10. I crate trained and agility trained her, learning much about pet care along the way. Adopting her has allowed me to gain experience caring for dogs from a puppy to a senior. With these experiences, I’m confident in my ability to care for your dog, regardless of his or her needs. I’m a student so I’m available to spend time with your pets outside of classes! This typically involves times before noon and after 5, but I can be pretty flexible! I have a home with a generous yard and no roommates! My yard is not fenced in but I also live near a park where we can play!

“Ash is reliable, conscientious, and a good person. HiShawn feels safe and secure with Ash when we are gone. I highly recommend her even though I’d like to keep her a secret. 😊”

About: I have taken care of dogs and house sat for friends and family for over 20 years. I am new to the area and I look forward to meeting new doggo friends! I’d love to arrange a meet and greet with you and your pups to discuss your needs more in-depth! I’ve just gotten done thru-hiking the Appalachian Trail and my availability is very open! I have a schedule of flexibility that would allow me to focus on a more rigorous feeding/potty schedule. I like to talk softly to dogs to develop a level of friendship and trust. I’m happy to accompany and play with dogs in a fenced in backyard or dog park. Sitting on a couch (if allowed) is nice too! I’d follow your regular feeding and potty schedules to maintain consistency as well.
