Pet care experience

I recently lost my own furbaby last year so Rover has been helping me so much to cope with my loss. Your pet becomes my adopted furbaby when I take care of it! If your dog is staying with me at my apartment it can expect tons of cuddles, premium treats (including pup cup ice cream!), all of the toys to play with, an orthopedic dog bed, walks around the city and romps in the neighboring dog parks (I live close to 4 different parks!) I also allow the dogs to sleep with me in my bed! I will take all of the pup cuddles I can get! Your dog must be ok with apartment living and with being alone to for 9+ hours as I work in an office in Overland Park on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursdays. I unfortunately cannot accept dogs that bark/howl when there is no one home as I have neighbors on all sides and can be fined for dog barking that exceeds 10 minutes. I am willing to drop your dog off at a daycare if you are a boarding or house sitting client on days I work in the office or I can arrange a dog walker for potty breaks. Puppy pads or doggy diapers are also acceptable for pups that can't hold their bladder that long. HOUSE SITTING CLIENTS: I require a minimum of $50/night per stay so if you have cats the minimum is still $50/night. HOUSE SITTING and DROP-IN REQUESTS: My rates on my profile are my BASE rates for people who live within a 5 miles radius of Downtown KCMO. If you live further than 5 miles my rates go up by the following: 6-10 miles away from downtown - an additional $10/day or $5/per drop-in 11-15 miles away from downtown - an additional $15/day or $7.50 per drop-in 16-20 miles from downtown - an additional $20/day or $10 per drop-in Message me today to book a meet and greet! I am so excited to meet your furbaby!

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a very secure and dog friendly apartment building. I have 24/7 front desk concierge, security, and cameras on every floor. The building elevators are all fobbed access and I have a Yale Smart Lock on my door. In addition, I have 3 NEST security cameras in my apartment that alert me if a dog is barking. They are located in my hallway, living room and bedroom. I also have NEST fire alarms and smart lightning throughout the house so can turn lights on for dogs when it gets dark out if I am not home yet.

Information Rachel K. would like to know about your pet

I prefer to meet owners and furry family members before visits in person to get to know you both better and make sure it is a good fit for all involved. If a dog is staying with me at my apartment I prefer meetings there. If I am house sitting, I require meet and greets at the house before accepting any bookings.

A typical day

I love walking downtown! My favorite walk is a 2 mile walk to Quality Hill and thru Case Park, stopping mid-point at the West Terrace Dog Park in which I am a member of. In addition, we frequent the Walnut St. dog park, River Market dog park and One Light dog park. If your dog is a member of BarK please let me know and I am more than happy to take them to play with their friends at the bar!

Availability

I work Tuesday thru Thursday in an office from 8am to 6pm. I work from home on Monday and Friday and am off on Saturdays and Sundays. Please be mindful I do have other Rover clients that I am dropping in on also during the day. ALL CLIENTS: My rates may go up depending on the care that is needed for your dog and distance traveled. For instance, rates will go up if your dog cannot be left alone for an hour or if I am providing pick-up and drop-off services or a dog walker on days I am in the office.
