“My dog loves Katharine, and my daughter's shy dog also loves her. She did a great job walking my dog: she was very reliable and responsive and made my dog happy. I highly recommend her.”

About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was little and have always been obsessed with them! I will treat your pup like my own and give them all of the love and care they deserve. I raised and trained my 1.5 year old pup and can carry on any training with your pup when they are here. I work a full-time remote job so I will be home all day to tend to your dogs needs. I have a 2 year old dog named Finley that I regularly walk before and after work, care for and make treat puzzles for during the day, and I have a very pet friendly home. I am flexible to carry out your dogs routine to make sure they feel right at home! I have a large fenced yard and my own dog to keep your pup company. I can crate your dog when needed or let them roam the house and make themselves comfortable. I always have all food and any hazards out of reach so the pups can’t get into any trouble!
About: Hi everyone! I'm Regan and I am currently a senior at KSU studying pre-veterinary medicine. I have 8 years experience pet sitting for family and friends of pets of all shapes and sizes! I have 3 summers experience working in Veterinary hospitals and am confident in any type of medication administration or with pets with special needs. I am a full-time student and athlete on the rowing team at KSU. This summer, I am starting my Master's program! I am unavailable Mondays 10:30-12, Tuesdays and Thursdays 10:30-4, Wednesdays 7:30-12, and Fridays 7:30-11. I am available on Saturdays and Sundays for most weekends this summer. I do my best to keep my calendar updated, but please message me with any questions or requests, and I will try to make accommodations for different requirements! Currently I am not offering services in my own home due to renting. I am happy to spend time at your house and even stay the nights on weekends if required. I do my best to stick closely to their normal routine, including feeding times, walks, play, and any medication schedules. I make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection so they feel comfortable and safe while you’re away. I also keep the home tidy, bring in mail if needed, and send regular updates with photos so you always know how your pets are doing.
About: I grew up with dogs and cats. I currently own 2 dogs, a pit bull and husky. I also have 1 cat. Over the years I have fostered for the shelter and anytime I find a lost animal, I do everything I can to get them home. I really enjoy being around animals and I love to help people anyway I can so it makes it fun. I am not currently working so free most of the time. I have a medium fenced yard and my husband and daughter love all animals. Although we have a newborn, we keep up work with child/pet safety.

About: I have pet‑sat for friends and have owned animals since childhood. I currently have two cats of my own, and I’m in veterinary school with hands‑on experience working with both dogs and cats in a clinic setting at school and in a veterinary clinic. I’m comfortable administering medications, including oral and injectable treatments. I’ve also worked with multiple cat rescues and have experience fostering. I would love the opportunity to do dog walks — staying active and walking dogs is one of my favorite ways to connect with pets. I’m available for early‑morning visits and walks before my classes begin at 8 AM. I also have a lunch break from 12–1 PM and I can do walks or drop‑ins during that time. After 5 PM, I’m fully available for evening care. I’m also free most weekends and have open availability over the summer. I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and predictable environment for every pet. In a client’s home, I follow your routines closely — feeding schedules, walking routes, medication instructions, and any household rules your pet is used to. I always double‑check doors, gates, and leashes to make sure pets stay secure, and I take time to help them feel comfortable with me before we head out for a walk or settle in for a visit. With my veterinary background, I’m attentive to behavior, stress signals, and overall well‑being. I keep a close eye on how pets are feeling, and I’m comfortable handling medications, special needs, and shy or nervous animals. My goal is to maintain a safe, clean, and low‑stress environment so your pet feels cared for and you feel confident while you’re away.
About: I am a current vet student and was a vet tech for 4 years. I have a lot of house/pet sitting and farm sitting experiences! During the week, I am able to pet sit in the early mornings, during my lunch break, and in the evenings. On the weekends, I am free! In a clients home, I spend the time that they want with me. Whether it is just hanging out or playing ball. I feel it all depends on their own needs and what the owners want.
“Faith was amazing! She agreed to walk my dog last minute while I was going to be out of town for the whole day. She also was very communicative and followed my instructions perfectly. I would totally have her again! :)”
“Jessi does an awesome job walking my pups while I’m at work. She is very dependable and goes above and beyond her normal duties. My pups look forward to seeing her each day!”

“Oh my gosh, Nick is so GOOD with our Abi girl!!! There is a lot of ability difference between our two pups, but Nick keeps it in Abi's best interest because she's our "girl" and Boo loves her too!”

About: Hi! My name is Bentley and I am a Pre-Vet/ Animal Science Major at Kansas State University. This means I will be doing dog sitting in your home. Some qualities that set me apart from other sitters is my level of expertise. I have had dogs and cats my whole life and have always been the one to take care of them. However, I also have spent 3 years growing my experience around animals at multiple jobs. I have worked at a doggy daycare, service dog school, and a vet clinic. All of these jobs have allowed me to learn more about the animals and how to properly take care of them regardless or age, size, or breed. I would love to spend time with your pet and give you the comfort you deserve from a pet sitter! Since I am going into my freshman year at K-State my class schedule varies. However, I will always be flexible with hours needed and what works for me. I plan on getting a part time job as well while also ensuring time for your pets! I am very flexible with how I take care of your pets depending on what they are used to with you! However, all pets will be treated with love just like they are my own!
About: I’ve been around and taken care of dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I managed my own pet sitting business in NC and HI with clients so satisfied they planned their vacations around my availability. Here in Manhattan, I live with my husband and our Aussie-German shepherd mix, Nova. I work remotely as a graphic designer and schedule my own hours for the most part, so I’m super available and flexible when it comes to pet care. I’ve never met a dog I didn’t like ( or that didn’t like me )! I like to spend time making sure dogs and owners feel safe and comfortable with my caretaking abilities.

About: I have been pet sitting for many years and I have lots of pets of my own! I have been working in veterinary medicine since 2019 and I am currently a veterinary student at K-State! I am a veterinary student at K-State so I have class Monday through Friday. While in school I do have breaks throughout the day and I am done before 5 most days, which leaves plenty of time for fetch, snuggles, and walks! I have a fenced in yard and 2 friendly dogs of my own who love to play. I also have 3 cats at my home.
About: I’m a loving pet parent to a 3-year-old dog and a cat, so I truly understand what pets need to feel safe and happy. I’m patient, attentive, and great with daily routines, walks, playtime, and lots of affection. I care for every pet like they’re my own! Hi! I’m a young, reliable pet lover enrolled in online school, which allows me to be home most of the day. My flexible schedule means I’m available nearly 24/7 to provide attentive care, playtime, and companionship. I treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away 🐾 I care for pets by following their usual routines as closely as possible. This includes feeding on schedule, walks or potty breaks, playtime, enrichment, and lots of affection. I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well supervised at all times. I’m attentive to individual needs, medications, and special instructions, and I always keep owners updated with lots and lots photos!
About: I have always had pets growing up, so I learned at a young age how to care for dogs, cats, fish, and Guinea pigs. I have my own pet currently! I have a cat and her name is Willow. I take care of my cat every day, I check her food and water bowls twice a day and make time to play with her to give her a workout. I do have a cat, so if I end up taking car of your dog for the day I will most likely avoid bringing them to my home unless you tell me that they get along well with cats. I can take them for walks and to the park or for rides if they enjoy that too!
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: I grew up with dogs and cats, both owned and fostered and all different sizes! We also have 2 large pups who love to play with other dogs. I am comfortable and familiar with administering medication or whatever your animal may need with clear instructions. I work remote several days a week so I have flexibility to check in on or walk your animals! I am also available on weekends for check ins if planned in advance. I have a fenced in yard and 2 active pups. I will typically not offer in-home care unless there are meet and greets first, as we have a little one in the home.

Third time walking my dogs while I’m away and she was great as always. One of my dogs is old and moody so she wasn’t too excited about a walk, but Cacy adjusted accordingly and was patient with her. She took my other dog for a good long walk and she also adjusted the time of the walk to prevent rain, since my dog has terrible storm anxiety. Thank you Cacy!!

sue is such a gem. my pup immediately was immediately so excited to meet her, and looked so happy in all the photos and updates that i (loved to) receive while i was away. she ensured that my pup and i felt comfortable throughout the time she was caring for her. she went above and beyond to provide such sweet, attentive, considerate care to my pup. i (and bean) highly recommend her 🤍🐾
