House Sitting North Hyde Park

“Kayma was an excellent communicator and took great care of both the dog and our home while we were away. She provided us comfort and knowing she was there made it bearable for us to be away from our girl!”

“Maryn did a great job watching our kitties. She stuck to our routine with their feeding schedules and left our home exactly as we left it. She even went above and beyond with leaving food and water out for the neighborhood cats who were not included in the booking but who my husband and I look after. We will definitely be booking with Maryn again!”

“Erin checks on my dogs during the week while I’m at work and has spent the weekend at my house while I was out of town. I trust her completely with my dogs and my home. She’s easy to communicate and work with.”

About: I am a very passionate and driven person when it comes to any and all animals! I currently am the owner of a 10 year old Belgian Malinois, but for many years I have taken sole care of both dogs and cats of all different breeds, and am well experienced in all general pet care. All of the dogs I ever had as a kid were trained as puppies almost solely by myself and my brothers. My mom used to make me read books and do online research about the breed of dog we had, different training techniques, K9 first-aid, and so much more. Being as passionate as I am about animals, those studies were well retained, and while I don't have professional experience, the knowledge gained from doing it on my own with 9 different dogs over my lifetime have graced me with at the very least, an in depth knowledge of all different stages of dog ownership. In regards to puppies: I have experience potty training, leash training, crate training, and what I would call experienced but moderate obedience training skills. I know how to deal with things like food aggression, how to properly establish the "hierarchy" or "pack mentality" and other conditioning behaviors. As well as handling young puppies, I've even assisted a momma in giving birth to a new litter, and taking special care of a brand new litter of 7 pups! So my experience with all dogs truly does begin at birth and goes all the way to end of life care. For the old timers: The couch potatoes in our lives need just as much, and sometimes even more care than their energetic and young counterparts. I have experience with things like giving medication and shots, managing specialty diets, and a number of other age specific needs. I'm very patient and am willing to take the time to get to know your pet and what they need. Every animal has a different personality and needs attention in different ways, and I'm very attentive to that! I will always treat your pet as if they were my own, and will to the best of my ability make sure that your pet is well taken care of at all times. I’m almost always available. My location says WA, but that was just my last permanent address before taking the leap of full time van life. I travel for a living, and that allows me to accept side jobs and pet care at a moments notice. I have lived with my own dog in a variety of different conditions. From being on our own in both houses and apartments, to having a full house of dogs and cats. I am well versed in any additional responsibilities and special care based on living situations, and have no trouble go up and down a few flights of stairs for potty breaks/walks, etc.

About: I’ve loved animals of all kinds since I was a kid! For the last 8 years I have worked as a veterinary assistant working hands on with pets of all kinds including anxious pets, special needs pets, and geriatric pets. I’m comfortable giving medications or following specific directions for pets that need just a little more attention. I of course love pets of all ages whether that’s playing with young pets or giving older pets more accommodations. I’m currently working part-time at an animal clinic, so I’ll have plenty of time to care for your pet! I go for walks twice daily already and your pet would make a perfect addition! I live in an apartment with my 13 year old cat, Juliet. Juliet is a very sweet cat but will typically hide when other pets are boarded in the home. My apartment is located in the Volker neighborhood with parks and plenty of walking trails nearby. For in home boarding, pets are welcome on my furniture including the bed. I am happy to follow any and all requests for boarding / caretaking inside your home, including giving medications either orally or injectables.

“Ell was awesome with my (2) dogs. Very responsive and always kept me updated with photos and how they were getting along. Excellent Job and will be using her in the future.”

“Mya took amazing care of my husky & greyhound! She kept us updated with photos and left us a very clean house to come home to. I would not hesitate to book her again! Thanks Mya”

“This was our first time having Lulu as a Rover and she was great! She was very communicative, shared tons of photos, and took wonderful care of Patty. We would love to have her rover again and would recommend her to anyone.”

Sarah S.

“Jennifer took care of our 2 dogs and home for a few days - she did a fantastic job! She communicates regularly with pictures and information which is super helpful and comforting while being away. We highly recommend Jennifer!”

Kim B.

“Julia took excellent care of our girl. We made a last minute request for Julia to extend her stay and she was kind enough to accommodate. I would definitely recommend Julia for your pet sitting needs.”

Pushkarw & Anjali M.

“Was timely and present with the doggos! They’re like children so all you can hope is someone will show up and love them while you’re away like you would! Will definitely use her again :)”

About: In a dog eat dog world, I have helped family and friends with their dogs and cats. Along with that I grew up in cat household throughout my childhood. I have experience with playing with and loving dogs, especially my grandmother's dog during my middle school and high school years. I've had to pet sit for friends for their cat within the last year. That responsibility included feeding the cat since he was an outside cat. But as a previous cat owner I know how to change a litter box and not let the cat think it is the god of the house. In addition to that, I've gone to a relative's house to let her dog out to the use the bathroom and fed him. As a full time preschool instructional assistant, I have early evening availability during Wed through Friday and weekend availability to come look after and play with your furry friends.

About: Hello! I am a pet lover with years of experience in caring for pets young and old. I am based in downtown KC but have reliable transportation. If I am out of your range, message me anyway and we might be able to work something out :) In my life I have owned 1 dog of each size (small, medium, and large of course), two parakeets, a guinea pig, several goldfish, and a leopard gecko. I currently live downtown with my two kitties, Josie and Jade. I have several years of both catsitting and dogsitting experience with close friends and family members, and it has always been the most fun side job so I thought I'd give Rover a shot. I also have housesitting and plant care experience. I am a full time actor, so regularly I work from home and will spend certain full days on set, not usually consecutively & with minimum 1 week’s notice. Additionally, in June I have evening rehearsals on weeknights and weekend rehearsals 11a-5p here in town. I am communicative with clients & I like to send photos at client request. In situations of senior care or medication, I will always opt to message with a question rather than make an unsafe assumption. Additionally, I am a very clean person and prioritize leaving things how I found them.

About: I’ve been owned by several (rescue) dogs and a few cats. Am capable a caring for multiple pets in household. Have lived with 3 dogs for several years. I’m good with all animals and have a tendency to make a critter calm. Senior dogs are a specialty and regular medications are no problem. Done a lot of house sitting for pets and home security. Day care and overnights easy as I am retired with only a few obligations with my time. I am retired so an abundance of time is available. I do have a commitment to sit with a dog and two cats every Wednesday. I feed/walk/play with two dogs every evening and a long walk on Saturday afternoon. I clean a home once a month on my schedule. I am involved in my church (Sunday worship and once a month vestry meetings). If you desire overnight stays or extended visits I’m able to do that as long as leaving for above mentioned obligations works with your pet. My specialty is senior dogs. I prefer smaller dogs as I am older fella and wouldn’t want to lose grip walking or caring for large dogs. Feeding/walks/medications not a problem If doing check ins I am punctual and trustworthy in your home.

“Jonathan was wonderful & kept us updated with pics & notes on Denali while we were on our vacation. We came home to a happy, well cared for dog & I would definitely hire him again!”

Michelle T.

“Pamela was the best! Our toy poodle takes a while to warm up to someone new, and she snuggled up to Pamela pretty quick! Pamela was very punctual (early actually!), she followed all the feeding rules (one of our dogs has renal dysplasia), took them out for potty, and she sent us adorable photo updates. Would totally recommend her, and 100% will work with her again when we’re in KC!”

Jojo C.

“Emma stayed with my cat Patrick for a week while I was in another state for work. Patrick needs some special attention and takes daily medication. She did a great job making sure he was taking care of and comfortable! Additionally, she communicated with me well and made sure to send me some pictures every day!”

Nicholas E.

“As always Lori did a great job taking care of our dog. We got lots of pictures and he even went looking for her in our guest room the morning after we got home so I know he misses her!”

Sara L.

“Freddy was so happy with Abby. While we were away Abby sent pictures of Freddy and we was definitely enjoying his time with Abby. We will be requesting Abby with our next need for Freddy to have a friend stay with him.”

Kim S.

“Wonderful sitter! She was warm, detail-oriented, and immediately became best friends with our dog. She kept me updated with photos throughout the visit, which I really appreciated. Her experience caring for dogs needing extra care gave me great peace of mind, and I would absolutely trust her with dog again!”
