About: With over 50 years of hands-on experience in pet care. I've dedicated my life to understanding and supporting the well-being of animals, especially dogs. For 8 years, I have worked as a veterinary technician, where i gained in-depth medical knowledge and practical skills in animal heath, emergency care and preventative treatment. My background also includes extensive experience in both basic and advanced dog training focusing on obedience, behavior modification and building strong bods between pets and their owners. Over the decades I've cared for animals of all ages, breeds and temperaments - from raising litters of puppies and kittens to providing compassionate support for senior pets. My approach combines patience, consistency and a deep respect and love for every animal's unique personality and needs. Things to consider prior to booking: • Are they friendly with other pets? I have one dog and 3 cats in our home. • Are they able to jump a 5ft fence? • Are they protected against Heartworm, Fleas and Ticks? • Potty Trained? I am happy to help train but just need to know ahead of time. • Up to date on all vaccines? • Big chewers? • Let us know if your pet has any special need or accommodation we should account for! I can accommodate a variety of needs! I am happy to provide whatever care your pet needs & make sure they are happy & comfortable in our home. A few things to know about what I offer: 100% Love and Care I take photos of your pet (I am not a professional photographer) – I will try not to overwhelm you! I do not require a meet and greet but am happy to do so. My preference is to introduce your pet(s) to mine slowly and very controlled environment. SAFETY is my #1 Concern for your pets and for mine. What to bring for your stay: Collar with a tag & leash Food (Label with the amount per meal) - Slow feeder if needed Medications, if needed Kennel (for boarding stays) - Anything to make them comfortable in their kennel (blanket, toys, bed) I generally don’t use a kennel if they are good house guests (no destruction or accidents) they can have house privileges. I will provide: Water Bowls (I have many throughout the house and outside) Foods Bowls Toys - Treats - Chew bones & treats Dog beds around the house (I have many) A Typical Day can be: Wake up and take them out to potty (I have a big, fenced back yard). Feed them breakfast Out for potty about 2 hours (or sooner) after breakfast. Relax, play and/or snooze as they want. Potty breaks are directed by their needs, they let me know they need to potty, and we go outside (I am their servant, and I stay with them while they are outside). They potty and play and then we come in. This goes on all day as needed. Cuddles on command and if they just want to lay around, I’m ok with that as well. I have taken all my dogs (past and present) through many different levels of training session – Puppy, Basic and Advanced. Let me know what you need, and I am happy to help. SPECIAL NOTE with Regard to Cats Cats do their own things and totally dictate their day to day and I respect and honor their wishes! I do have a room set up that they can call their own (if needed) and I have a secure Catio they can hang out in and enjoy fresh air. I am retired and love to help people and their pets. I have lots of free time and want to offer my knowledge and experience to people who have busy lives but want the best for their furbabies. I live on 3/4 acre and I have a large fenced in back yard. I do have a dog and 3 cats at home so any pets that need to be watched at my home need to be able to get along with them. I am dependable, trustworthy and honest and can also take care of your pets in your home. If you need to know anything else, please ask.

About: I've cared for my own and other people's dogs for about 13 years. I've completed a year of dog training at an apprenticeship program and cared for dogs of all ages and sizes! Along with that, I also worked at a doggy daycare where multiple dogs would play together. I've cared for dogs as small as a 5-pound chihuahua to as large as an 85-pound German Shepherd. I can handle different energy levels, whether that's lazing around and short walks, or as long as 2-hour walks! Let me care for your dog and go on mini adventures! I am currently looking for a full-time dog-training apprenticeship, and I think this is the perfect opportunity to continue interacting with animals! I love being able to enjoy a pet's goofy side and seeing their different personalities. In your home, I will follow your instructions exactly. I can be flexible and am a great communicator. If I ever have any questions or concerns about your pet's safety or care, I will message or call you immediately. As for walks, if there is a specific park or place you would like your dog to walk around within a reasonable distance, I will go to it! If there are also special instructions for walks, such as not letting other people pet your dog, if your dog has certain ways to greet people, etc, I will follow those as well!
“This is the third time I have used Derek's cat sitting service, and the interaction and drop-in visits were at the same high caliber as the first two. Derek is friendly, professional, prompt in communication and appointments, trustworthy, and has easily bonded with my cat. Arbus and I were glad you were available again!”
“We had Vanessa watch our two young cats over Thanksgiving week. Vanessa was great with them and with us - attentive to their needs and very responsive to us. Our favorite was the pictures she shared in the after-visit reports, and our cats’ favorite was seeing their new buddy. Vanessa was very respectful, professional, and kind. Would definitely ask Vanessa to come back in the future!”
“Ashley is great! She has done drop-in visits for my cat on two occasions when I was out of town. I will continue to ask for her help in the future - so glad I found Ashley!”
About: I am a third year veterinary student in KC for the summer at an internship! I have worked as a Veterinary Assistant for 6 years now and have gained experience in handling and working with all breeds and sizes of dogs, as well as cats. I have also been petsitting for family friends for 5 years and have plenty of experience making pets feels comfortable while their owner is away. I am comfortable handling any dog or cat, with anything from giving medications to your senior pup to walks and exercise for the more energetic ones! I’m currently working full-time during the week with some evening hours available. I am also typically available all day during the weekend and on most holidays. As I am currently renting, I am not able to care for pets in my own home. However, I am more than willing to travel and take care of your fur-baby in the comfort of their own home! I have been trained on how to handle all types of animals with care and respect towards them, and would feel comfortable assisting with any training you are working with them on. Most of all, I absolutely love to hang out with any animal and would be honored to care for your fur baby!

But mainly in home at my place I have the space and room to do so it would be easy

Ann J.
“I am pleased to write this reference for Ann, she has provided exceptional pet sitting services for my dog and cats on numerous occasions over the past 8 years. From the moment we met, Ann demonstrated a natural ability to connect with animals. My dog, who can be a bit shy around new people, immediately warmed up to them, and my cat—typically aloof—also responded positively. Ann is reliable, attentive, and has a genuine love for animals that is evident in everything they do. During my time away, I was always confident that my pets were in excellent hands. Ann provided regular updates, including photos and notes about their behavior and activities, which gave me great peace of mind. They followed feeding and medication instructions meticulously and ensured both pets received the attention and affection they needed. Beyond their experience with dogs, Ann is equally skilled at caring for cats, understanding their different needs and personalities. Whether it was taking my dog for long walks or spending quiet time with my cat, she showed patience, kindness, and professionalism at all times. I highly recommend Ann to anyone looking for a responsible and caring dog sitter, especially if you have multiple pets. They have always gone above and beyond, and I wouldn’t hesitate to trust them with my pets again.”

Mount Hope pet parents share their Rover experiences
Caitlin was a wonderful pet-sitter and I would use her again for sure. She was lovely with my cat, gave him lots of attention and made sure he had what he needed, and I loved the picture updates. Great communication and response times, and very accommodating regarding key exchange.
Sophie was wonderful! This was my first time leaving my two cats alone while I went on a family vacation and she made me feel so comfortable leaving them in her care. She played with them, made sure to follow feeding and care instructions and sent plenty of updates and photos. I came home to a clean place and two happy kitties. Can’t compliment her enough!
Brianna was great, she came over last minute when we were in a pinch and hung out with the dogs. We asked for a quick potty break and she stayed around longer so they can have more time out in the yard, which is very nice of her to do. Would recommend her for anyone looking for a sitter!
