“Kristy, was awesome she truly loved her work with my dogs. She communicates through out her visits with texts and lots of pics. She is the best sitter I have had and gained my insulin dependent dogs trust quickly. I would highly recommend her to anyone. She is a true dog lover and all animals in general.”

About: I have had pets my whole life up! I'm a full time stay at home mom with 3 kiddos (2 in school and 1 not in school cause shes a baby!) I am looking to earn a little pocket change while hopefully helping someone out with their fur babies. Most times I will have to come with my baby in her carrier for now, but certain times I may be able to work around that, so please dont hesitate to ask! I am willing to travel as far as Kansas City/Overland Park, Pittsburg, and Joplin/Springfield, or basically within an hour and half for house sitting. As a mom I am not able to stay in your home for house sitting, I could consider pet care inside my home on a case-by-case basis. For daily walks, we will have to agree on a price if its farther than Nevada, El Dorado Springs. I live on a few acres with cats, a dog, chickens, and ducks. I have experience with a lot of different types of animals as well including fish and smaller caged critters. I have experience working with service dogs as well. If you have any questions, please reach out! Im super flexible and would love to be able to help you any way that I can. I am a stay at home mom with 2 of 3 kiddos in school. My schedule is very open. Whatever work you're needing with your animals, please reach out. Animal care in my home will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Animal care in your home will be as requested by you. I typically could not do overnight care as I've got kiddos in school and will most likely have to travel a bit to help you with your animals, but on weekends or breaks I can consider it.
About: I currently work at a Vet Clinic, I have had animal shelter experience since I was little because of my mom, she was an Owner/Manager for Second Chance Pet Rescue in Grove Oklahoma. 💞 For jobs I have had a year of vet care experience, working in Animal Shelters, and I always make tons of trips to go down to Grove Oklahoma to donate and volunteer. 🐾 My life runs off of being surrounded by animals. ✨ When I watch your fur-baby(s) I make sure I send daily photos and information so everything runs smoothly. 🎉 I’m currently trying to start doing Rover for Full time, 🐾pets have a special place in my heart and my heart always comes back to spending time with them. 💓 In my free time I’m watching clients dogs or I am at home with my own 3 dogs, walking, playing, training the new puppy or cleaning. How I care for my pets in my home🐶, I am walking them in the mornings & at night time. I take them to the Lake in my town to swim, hike, walk, and play. We are always doing something with the pups, I believe they deserve to see the world like we do. I also just got a new puppy so I am working on training her myself.
“Stephanie did an excellent job of taking care of my cat while I went on vacation. She sent updates and pictures to me while I was gone. She completely won over my cat. I highly recommend Stephanie and will definitely book her again for my next trip.”

About: Ask me how to get $20 off your first booking!! Hi, I’m Gabby! I’m a dog momma to my Luna girl, a 9 year old Lab/Australian Shepherd Mix and Leala a 8 year old mixed breed. My girls are sassy & full of personality and I’ve had them since they were puppies. I’ve always loved animals, especially dogs & cats and have been the go to person for pet sitting for the folks in my life. I have about 20 years of experience when it comes to dogs & cats from no medical to high medical needs. We promise to give lots of love to your fur baby. I know every animal is unique and assure patience and a willingness to take the time to get to know your pets! Please note that my dogs would be with me for house/pet sitting & walking which would provide fun & socialization for your dogs as well. I have a flexible schedule. My pups eat twice daily, but we can incorporate whatever feeding style your fur baby needs. Most of my life revolves around my pups so that means it will around your animals as well! I know it takes a couple days for us and animals to learn each other and will be understanding of that while meeting your fur baby where and how they need. Please just let me know what your pets needs to be cared for and to feel loved and we will go from there!
About: Hi, I’m Danielle! Whether your pet is a high-energy athlete or a professional couch potato, they’ll find a perfect match in me. With experience ranging from the playfulness of kittens and puppies to the gentle, specific needs of senior pets, I pride myself on providing nurturing care tailored to your pet's unique personality. I’m highly organized and detail-oriented, ensuring that feeding schedules, medications, and house rules are followed to the letter. Most importantly, I treat every pet with integrity and love, giving you total peace of mind while you're away. I have a very flexible job, so pet care is easily worked into my schedule. I enjoy staying busy and spending time with pets, so its a win-win situation! I put a huge emphasis on making sure that pets are comfortable with me. I get to know their unique personalities and individually care for them based on their needs. As a pet parent myself, safety is my top priority, and I pay great attention to detail specifically in that matter.

“This was our first time working with Erkia and she did an awesome job. She gave us daily pictures and was very kind and communicative. We tend to "over inform" our dog-sitters so they know all the quirks of the home. Erika breezed in, did a great job walking and caring for our dog and left our home in great shape. Grateful!”

About: I’ve taken care of numerous pets for my family before. I’ve house sat and taken care of my dog since I was 14 and I’ve got training experience from when my dog was a puppy. I currently work part time doordashing, and babysitting so I can take care of your pets whenever you need a sitter. Additionally I have grown up in Overland Park so I would love to take your pets to parks and other places for walks. I have a golden doodle and we have had many play times in our backyard that has a fence. I free fed my dog but I’ve worked with family members who have a feeding schedule! My dog has a crate that we sometimes use depending on how long we are away from the house.
About: Hi! I’ve been around animals my entire life and grew up on a farm caring for many different animals. I currently foster dogs and provide them with a safe, loving home. I have a fenced backyard and a well-trained guide dog, Daisy, who helps new dogs feel calm and assists with potty training. I work part-time with a flexible schedule, allowing me to be home often and respond quickly to any needs or emergencies. I’m a Rover sitter offering doggy daycare with weekday and weekend availability. Please feel free to message me if you’re interested! I'm working part time right now, so my animals learned to be crate trained and potty trained very quickly. I always make time for my babies. My job is very laid back so i can come home for any emergencys. I provide attentive, personalized care based on each pet’s routine, age, and energy level. In my home, pets are cared for in a safe, structured, and loving environment with supervised playtime, regular potty breaks, enrichment activities, and plenty of rest. I follow all feeding schedules and instructions provided by the owner and reinforce positive behaviors such as potty training and crate comfort when appropriate. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their established routines to maintain consistency. This includes feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medication administration if needed, and providing updates and photos to keep owners informed and reassured.
About: I have worked with dogs and cats my whole life and love every minute of it! Aside from pet sitting for various friends and neighbors, I have worked at the vet for 3 years and have experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments. I am also comfortable giving any prescribed medications, insulin injections, or supplements they might require. I have moved to Kansas city temporarily and am giving veterinary clinic work a break for a bit so I have open availability during the week! Between volunteering at shelters and working at the vet I have been well trained in pet safety and precautions to take to ensure that no pet gets loose or harmed. While walking your fur baby they will always be on a double leash with me to ensure their safety in any event and precautions will be taken during any interaction with other dogs (if that is something you would like to allow).
About: I truly believe pets become very lonely when left at home. Animals need fresh air and lots of love and play time. I currently have two very loving, playful 2 year old Bichons, and I love them dearly. I would be overjoyed to get paid for playing/walking/tending to your pet while you are away (: thank you so much for considering me! I’m currently working part-time on, but I have a free and flexible schedule for your pet needs on Thursdays and Fridays, along with the weekends. I can be as flexible as needed because I know every pet differs. I have two fur babies at home and will soon have a fence. I am able to crate your animal at night if I’m providing pet sitter services, and I’m also able to provide updates as frequently as you would like. I love to be active and be outside, so walks are no problem either.
“Abby is the most wonderful sitter ever. Our dogs love her. When we get home they act like they didn’t miss us at all. The outstanding care and love that they receive while we are gone is obvious. Abby leaves the house cleaner than when she found it. I thought we were neat. We totally trust Abby and look forward to many more stays. 10 stars. She is the best”
About: I love all animals equally (don't tell my cats) and would love to get to know your pets! I have 2 years of experience taking care of dogs. I am familiar with clean up, basic training methods (e.x. clicker training) and high energy playtime. I can lounge around with older puppers or run up and down the yard with high energy doggos! I am currently working on personal business ventures so I have plenty of availability when it comes to your pets! I am available all 7 days of the week and can happily service on weekends! I also can do stays up to or longer than a week! Communication and honesty are some of my biggest values. I can provide plenty of checkin with photos as well as timely cleanups of any accidents or spills. In my home I make sure to have any medications locked away and I always check what type of plants I'm bringing in for my cats!
About: Highly experienced in puppy and dog training including potty training, leash walking, recall, and other basic commands. Also experienced in cat and bird care. I have a 3 year old high energy dog that I love taking for hikes and bike rides. I’ve completed multiple series of puppy and dog training courses. This is my full-time passion! I have a ton of flexibility to attend to your furry (and non-furry) friends! If you’d like to request times outside of my typical days/hours, please message me. I will gladly rearrange my schedule if possible. I have a fully fenced yard as well as a loving and friendly dog to keep your pets company. I’m happy to crate your pets if you’d like. I stay updated on the location of local pet hospitals and have a very safe ranch style home with no stairs.
“Meagan is the best- I am SO lucky we found her to watch our dogs while on vacation. She did such a great job taking care of our high energy dogs and they loved her. It was a relief to know they were in her hands! Meagan is responsible, clean, communicative, and so so kind!!!! 10000/10 will book with her again.”

About: I have been sitting since I was 11, which was nine years ago. I was raised with all kinds of animals, including dogs, cats, birds, and aquatic creatures, as well as reptiles. I am currently in a gap year before post-secondary education, and have near endless time on my hands to dedicate to your cute and smart critters! I am comfortable coming over to care for your animals at any time. I can feed, water, let out, and/or walk or play with your animal(s).
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 10 years old. I helped a breeder take care of her puppies by feeding and administering medicines. I have pet sitted for multiple family members and friends. I have taken care of dogs of all ages from puppies to seniors. I can't wait to help take care of your pet/pets! I am available Friday, Saturday, and Sunday mornings to pet sit in your home. I am flexible during holidays or for longer trips as well.

So your house will be in good hands as well as your pet!
