About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life, from tiny Rat Terriers to energetic bird dogs and large breeds like Huskies and German Shepherds. Growing up, my family always had dogs in the home, and each one had a unique personality. I especially have a soft spot for German Shepherds thanks to my grandma’s sweet pup who I used to explore the woods with, always making me feel safe and protected. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, including friends’ pets while they were away. I understand that every dog has their own unique personality and needs, and I always make sure to provide a safe, respectful environment and keep dogs separated if needed to ensure everyone stays comfortable and happy. When caring for others’ pets I treat them like my own. I can cuddle on the couch with them or take them on a run(or maybe a light jog lol). While you’re away my goal is to make them comfortable enough that they forget you’re not there and for you to feel relaxed knowing they’re being well taken care of. I am a stay at home mom so my schedule is pretty open and flexible. During the school year I typically have open availability from 8:30-2:30, and with advanced notice I can be available after 4pm. I always open/close the doors carefully to avoid any escapees, and leash any pups that go outside in an unfenced area. Typically I will also remove collars and toys before crating to avoid a choking hazard unless otherwise requested. When feeding dogs with food aggression I either feed them at separate times/areas. If you have waste bags or a scooper I will also help keep your yard clean while you’re away. Before booking a service with me, I am also available for meet and greets to make sure your friend is comfortable

About: I have loved and enjoyed taking care of animals since I was a little girl, that’s why I decided to become a vet! Yes, I’m an experienced veterinarian who is completing a year of training at K-State💜 and I’m thrilled to offer my expertise in animal care in the Little Apple 🍎 I’ll be more than happy to provide company and the best care to your furry babies, so they feel loved, safe and happy while you’re away. Besides my professional experience, many friends and family members trust me with the care of their pets because they know that to me, this is not just a job, it’s a lifestyle 💖 I also have my own dear babies who I take care of everyday, can you ask for anything more in a pet sitter? I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to provide pet sitting support short-notice. Some weeks I work from home so that leaves me plenty of time to go walk, see and keep company to your dog/cat whenever, from the comfort of their own home! We can work with your schedule too and I’ll be happy to adjust according to your and your pets needs. I live with my 2 senior dogs, they’re both rescued and lovely to humans but one of them can be reactive to other animals, that’s why I only offer pet sitting services in your own home. Safety is a top priority for me. I have experience handling all sizes of dogs and cats. I can walk 2-3 dogs at a time and can take care of multiple animals at a time because that’s what I do everyday and I’m so happy and grateful for that. I have experience feeding, administering medications, and of course, even cleaning after pets. I love to take them on walks, play with them, just make them feel loved, safe and happy.


About: Dogs are a constant source of surprise and reward, I will never grow tired of a dog. I have never been without a dog in my life. Even though I used to work crazy long shifts in a hospital, I always put my dog first and made sure someone else was there to take her on a playdate when I couldn't. Being busy doesn't mean one shouldn't have a dog, a companion, someone who gets you out the door, someone to cuddle with, someone who is always there when you need him. To make sure your fury friend isn't suffering under your crazy schedule, you need a caring dog sitter. Someone who plays with your dog, someone you can trust. I have not only walked my own dogs but also other's and I would like to think that I understand the basic signals of a dog, the language, so to say. No dog was ever unsatisfied in my care. After all, I chose to live with one of the most energetic dog breeds there is, my two Boxer girls Bonnie and Emma, 3 and 10 years old. I would walk the extra Mile to make your dog happy! The routine will be as close to the one they know. Add ons will only be provided if it benefits the pet’s well being. My routine will be adjusted to your pet’s routine. I care for your pet inside my house or in the garden. While outside, they will never be unsupervised. No walking off leash outside the garden. Visits to the dog parks can be arranged if the dog is well socialized with other dogs.

About: I’ve grown up with cats and dogs my entire life. My two elderly dogs recently crossed over the rainbow bridge. While I am not ready to jump into full time pet ownership at this time, I am ready to care for, love on and spoil your fur-babies. I have a large fenced in yard that is good for exploring. I love to go out and experience trails/parks/lakes. If allowed by the owner, I would love to take your pet on outings! Pets must be child friendly. I have an 9 year old daughter who would love to play with your pet. Please let me know if your pet does not do well with children. Children and your pet will be kept separate if your pet is not child friendly. I work 8 hours per day Monday-Friday. I am able come home on breaks, and for lunch to allow for bathroom breaks and play time! Weekends are spent mainly at home. I have a large fenced in back yard. I do not own any personal pets at this time. If pets will be left alone (for running errands etc..) they will be crated. When pet sitting I will be home and available to the pet as much as possible so that crate time will always be short and only used as needed. I have one XL crate and one medium crate available. Please bring any comfort items your pet may want/need. If multiple pets are being watched, pets will be fed at separate times or in their crates to limit any possible food aggression issues.

“Masie is a fantastic communicator. She responds quickly to text messages and is helping me figure out what is in the best interest of Molly for future walks. Molly thinks she is great!”


About: I’ve grown up and taken care of dogs since I was a child. This includes caring for my Labrador after she was hit by a vehicle and helping nurse her back to health. If you and your pet have a routine I’ll try my best to stick to it so they can keep enjoying their happy life while you’re away. If you need assistance in helping train your dog to be better on walks I can offer that as well. I would be more than happy to send photos and updates about your dog too so you have nothing to worry about while away. Our pets deserve the best and I’m here to help with that. My daily schedule it fairly flexible as I create my own weekly schedule with my current full time job. Aside from that work and being a full time graduate student I have spare time that I’d prefer using for good like walking pets and getting moving. As long as instructions are given it’s my goal to follow those as best as I can. Before leaving I like to make sure the dogs are well taken care of and hopefully have

About: Years of experience caring for foster puppies and cats and kittens up for adoption. Amateur vaccination and grooming experience for dogs. House sitting experience for 2+ weeks for both dogs and cats in multiple households. I am a college students, so stopping in or spending the night to care for someone’s pet is perfect for my schedule. I have lots of experience with this as a pet sitter, so I am happy to accommodate flexible schedules. I love lists that pet owners provide with do’s and dont’s, including feeding, walking, and cleaning times. I am a very affectionate person; however I give animals the space they need because I am a new person to get used to.

“Ash has been an amazing help with my two pups. They love when she comes to walk them and haven’t had any issues with her meeting our requested times or with their walks.”


About: I grew up with pets, and have cared for my friends and neighbors pets over the years! I have the most experience with cats and dogs, however I have also cared for other pets like hedgehogs, chickens and snakes! I recently moved to the area and I'm currently taking a sabbatical from my full time job. I have lots of availability! I am available for drop ins and mid day potty/play breaks. I care for pets as if they were my own! I always send pictures to update you throughout my time with your pets. You can trust that they will receive plenty of playtime, affection and cuddles while you are away! Comfortable and familiar with dietary needs, medical needs such as medication administration, or special training you prefer to use.

About: I got my first dog when I was 6 years old. He lived until he was 15 years old. He had a hard time in the end and I had to learn how to care for a senior dog who was partially blind and deaf. I also gained valuable experience working on a farm with 6 dogs who consistently followed me around. I have a heart for dogs of all age, especially senior dogs! I am currently not working as I have healthcare licenses being processed to Kansas. I am a student who is fully online so I have more than enough free time and flexibility. Right now I am taking care of my cat and kitten! I am all about cleanliness. I believe that having a clean pet environment can make the biggest difference for not only the owner, but the pet! I will work hard to keep your pet happy, healthy, and clean! I also believe that no pet ever gets enough playtime. My kitten is a ball of energy so I am a pro at playtime. My cats sleep through the night every night because they play practically all day!

“I needed someone I could trust after having a bad experience with another dog walker (not from Rover) lying to me about taking my dog out on time or at all. Jessi was super helpful and jumped in as quickly as I needed her. It's so great to see that he's getting the exercise he needs even when I'm not there. She took him out twice for a mile each time! I look forward to having her help me out regularly from here on out! Thanks Jessi!”


About: I have been independently caring for dogs of all sizes for years! Mostly for family friends! I absolutely love animals and would love to get the opportunity to take care of yours! I have experience with cats as well! It’s my priority to make sure your pets (let’s be real they’re family) feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away!! I would prefer to watch your animals in your home so I can best follow your animals’ routine! I am currently a nanny so I have lots of time during the day where I can stop by to let animals outside, play with them, and do whatever else you need! BONUS: if you are comfortable- my nanny kids LOVE animals so extra playmates for your furry friends! I work from 8-3:30 so I could spend the majority of the evening with your animals as well! I am a very thorough sitter, so I will be sure to follow all instructions to a T! Your home will be left in the exact state I found it and your animals are sure to be happy and probably tired!

About: I’ve had a dog my whole life and take great care of them. Also have dog/animal sat for many friends and family, always so fun! I am currently am a student at Kansas State, but most days my classes are over by 2 pm and I also have breaks before that. I am very good at following directions so I will follow those that you give me to a tee. I treat everyone’s house with respect and care.

About: Animals are my whole life and enriching theirs is my passion! Aside from owning my own pets (currently two dogs, three cats, and a handful of ducks) I have extensive experience with all walks of animals. As a kid I watched neighbors' pets (including horses), worked in a boarding kennel and veterinary clinic through highschool (which often invovled medicine administration, shots and pills), fostered dogs through college (that's how I ended up meeting my big dog Gunner!), and now working as a wildlife biologist where I need to safely handle all kinds of animals. All of my experiences (including my own dogs' quirks) have also taught me how to keep pets safe and happy the best we can with the predispositions they come with (escape artists, postal man haters, aggression towards other dogs, nerves during storms...). I want to help your pet have a full and healthy life and will treat them just as I do my own. I currently take my younger dog for long runs and fast walks to keep him calm and fulfilled. I do multiple sloooooww, gentle walks with my older dog for him to just enjoy being outside for a bit and sniff things. For both of them, I do short training sessions each day with the basics (sit, stay, come, heel, laydown) to keep them enriched and structured. All of these things take time during the day and I am here to help you with whatever your pets need! I'm currently back to school at K-State for graduate studies, so aside from my main meetings and classes that are on mid-day Mondays and the bulk of Tuesdays and Thursdays during the day, I can be flexible with any timing you need. I am not currently offering boarding services in my house for the safety and sanity of my own many pets. However, if you would like for me to check on and exercise your pet multiple times throughout the day in your home while you are away I am available to do so! I care for my own pets with a lot of patience and understanding but can be firm with them if they are doing something that puts their safety at risk (i.e. eating an unknown item, trying to escape, leashing pulling towards a dangerous situation). I will ask questions and listen to what your pet needs to make the experience be exactly what they need.

About: I have taken care of family pets such as dogs, cats, hamsters, flying squirrels and chameleons. I have 2 spare rooms just for boarding animals. I am currently working a part time job, so the pets would have my full attention for the majority of the day and night times. The pets will have their own room to occupy while they are in my care. They will be able to sleep in that room and they will have ample opportunity to walk around outside on a leash. They will get plenty of exercise and food and water regularly. I will only be away from them for a few hours a day while I’m at my part time job in the evenings.
