“Phoebe came home was happy and very content. Linda and Michael were very friendly and pleasant to work with. Sent photos and kept in contact. Will love to use them again.”


“Meghan was very accommodating with my senior special needs dog. He needed the comfort of someone's home. Her children were an added bonus because he loves kids. We don't travel often so being able to find a place Woody felt comfortable as well as myself helped relieve the anxiety of traveling. Our drop off and pick up time needed to be flexible and Meghan was very available via text to and work with those times on the fly. If we have to travel again I will feel comfortable leaving Woody with her.”


“Allen and his wife watched our Husky, Max, while we were in Europe for 10 days. We loved getting the pictures and videos seeing how much he was enjoying playing with their other pups! He came home tired and happy! Will definitely book with them again and pass their info on to our friends!”


“Stephen and his wife and daughter made Bandit feel right at home. I loved all of the pictures and text to show me what she was doing. I’m sure she loved the walks to the lake. I would definitely recommend Stephen and I am positive I will use him again. Thank you for making Bandit feel a part of the family.”

About: I've had pets my whole life, large and small dogs, and cats. I also have 100+ hrs walking dogs at the local shelter. Making sure they're happy and well taken care of genuinely makes me happy. I do have a full time job at a daycare center, but I'm free after 3pm on weekdays and any time on weekends. I can do overnights at my house any day of the week. I have a large field behind my house, my yard is not fenced. I always have my dog on a leash when outside and do not kennel her when I'm gone. I do have a kennel if it's needed.

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly Recommend! I recently left my 13-year-old dog, Ginger, with Wanjia for three days, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the start, Wanjia was incredibly professional, communicative, and accommodating to my drop-off and pick-up schedule. Throughout Ginger’s stay, Wanjia provided regular updates and sent multiple photos each day, which gave me peace of mind knowing my pup was in great hands. When I picked Ginger up, she was happy, energetic, and clearly well cared for. What really stood out was Wanjia’s thoughtful approach to Ginger’s comfort. At her age, Ginger has her preferences, and Wanjia made sure she could sleep where she felt most comfortable—on the couch, with cozy blankets and pillows. It’s clear that Wanjia genuinely cares for the pets she looks after. I highly recommend Wanjia to anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”


“So Kassidy/ Dog set for me and I’m a say she sent me pictures and updates and videos I was so impressed with her home and her ability to give affection to my pup. We’re definitely going to use her as our go to and she has a real love for animals and that’s what’s key here. We are so glad to have found you in stark loves major as well.”


About: My husband and I currently live in Olathe and I work in the Overland Park area. We are huge animal lovers and have more than 6 years of Extra-large breed dog ownership and care. We have had (2) St. Bernard’s and a Labrador. So it is safe to say that I am a confident large-dog walker/caretaker. I also spent my high school and college years farm sitting, which consisted of caring for multiple types of animals at one time, most very large! It is my goal to make you feel confident that not only is your pet given adequate exercise and care, but that they are cared for safely and with the same standards that I have for my own animals. Cats are also more than welcome! Pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily routine, as I work from home and am present all day. This flexibility allows me to provide continuous attention and care to your pets, ensuring they receive the companionship and supervision they need. I can easily accommodate feeding schedules, regular walks, playtime, and any special care instructions throughout the day. This constant presence helps maintain a stable environment for your pets, contributing to their well-being and happiness. Caring for pets in my home or my clients’ homes involves maintaining their routines, providing regular meals, administering medications if needed, and ensuring they receive plenty of exercise and affection. I also keep their living spaces clean and safe, engage them with stimulating activities, and monitor their health and behavior closely. Consistent communication with pet owners ensures I meet all specific needs and preferences, providing peace of mind and excellent care for their beloved pets.

“She did such a great job that I’m pretty sure he wants to go back already and is pouting because he misses his new furry pals he made there!!! I got photos and updates daily and loved knowing he was in a home with a family and not being boarded at a kennel, he is far too bougie for that!!! I totally recommend her for your fur babies! 👌👍”


“Jessica did a great job with Bentley. She was very attentive to Bentleys needs and went above and beyond during the time she had him. You can tell she really cares about the animals she cares for.”

About: I grew up on a farm with, cats, dogs, chickens, goats, ducks, geese. rabbits, horses, cattle, and a variety of household pets. I was a veterinary technician for 20 years. Being in the veterinary field, I saw many household pets suffer separation anxiety being left at the clinic to board and also saw pets get sick after boarding due to being out of their home environment, which is how TLC Equine & Pet Care got started. I am currently 100% self-employed and can fit any schedule to work with the needs of your pet's health and safety. I also provide mail and package pickup, set trash out to the curb, water plants. Make your home look lived in while you are away. I do care for dogs in my home, it is a very relaxed environment. I live in the country and do not have a fenced in yard. They are walked on leashes and completely safe. Playpens also provided upon request for playtime outside.
