Dog Sitting in Oak Grove

“Abygail did great with our 2 old boys. Thanks for loving on them and coming on short notice”

About: Hello there! I'm so glad you found my profile! I am a life-long animal lover who has been drawing horses since I could hold a crayon, and I've been caring for all kinds of animals since I was a child. We had rabbits, guinea pigs, mice, cats, dogs, and horses at various times while I was growing up, and my childhood dream was to have lots of cats and lots of horses some day. Well I currently have 3 cats and 1 horse, so that's something! Haha. We also have two ducks and are planning to get more shortly. We've had as many as 5 at a time in the past. I've had pets of my own since my college days, and not surprisingly after having so many animals in my life, I ended up getting my degree in Animal Science! I also volunteered at the local Humane Society walking dogs while in college, and cared for pigs, poultry, horses, cows, and more rodents throughout my education. I also worked at a doggy daycare and boarding kennel for a time after college. These days my animal care is mostly directed at my own pets, but you can never have enough animals in your life in my opinion, and so here I am, ready to spoil your fur babies for you if you need! I currently work from home 3 days a week and am lucky enough to have a pretty flexible schedule during those days as well. That means I can take the time now and then to drop in and check on your pets for you if you need some extra help while you're away! Whenever I drop-in on your pets, I will stick to the routines you already have established for them at home to minimize any stress, so your pet will hardly be able to tell you're gone! But I will also definitely take the time to give them plenty of pets and play-time too, if that's something they would love! ^_^

About: After over 25 years working in education, I took the leap and followed my passion to animal rescue. After volunteering for over 15 years in rescue, I've worked full time in the field. While most of my work is with cats, I do help with dogs as well. I love all cats (even the spicy ones) and have experience distributing meds, nail trims, etc. I also have a flexible schedule and can work with you to meet your floof's needs!! While I work full-time, I do set my own hours for the most part. So I am available to stop in both during the day and evenings. I live in Independence, but travel to Olathe for work and various locations around KC, so I can be flexible on locations as well! As the mom to 3 cats (Chunk, Pam, & Wink) and a foster mama to many more, I understand that the safety of your fu babies is the top priority. I promise to treat them like my own. I am very picky about who cat sits for me, so I understand the additional stress leaving town comes with. So rest assured they will be spoiled rotten!!

“Madison did great with my dog! She’s super responsive and my dog loved her. She sent multiple photos during the check-in and let me know of a minor concern she had!”

“Mya was fantastic. She stepped in at the drop of a hat to help us out after our previous sitter had gone MIA while we were out of town. Her communication was FANTASTIC - she was prompt, attentive, left detailed notes of her visits and sent so many photos! We were so grateful to her for not only her great care of our two pups, but also the level of responsiveness and care that we received from her. If we ever go out of town again, I will certainly contact Mya and would recommend her to anyone!!”

About: I've had pets from all walks of life since I can remember. Everyone of them has been a cherished family member, friend, and confidant. I'm experienced with every stage of life from puppy potty training to the senior medication needed stage. I love them all! As a work from home pet parent and sitter, I'll have all the maximum personal time and attention you expect for your four legged loved one. I have two friendly dogs to keep your loved one company and a five year old to wear them out! I have plenty of space to keep all pets separated if need to be.

About: While I don't have formal experience, I've spent my whole life taking care of pets at home. I've even raised our current pups from puppies to adulthood, handling everything from feeding to playtime. My goal is to treat every pet like part of the family. I'm currently a college student down in Springfield, but whenever I'm back in town for breaks or summer, I will have a fairly flexible schedule! I'm available on the weekends, evenings, and soon to be during the weekdays as well! Every pet deserves the family treatment! I'm careful to follow their set routines and rules - whether it's playtime, feeding, or crate time. Your pet's safety always comes first!

About: What sets me apart from others is I will try to go that extra mile for your babies. I know how difficult it is to leave them at home. 📣📣*PLEASE INCLUDE KENNEL IN BOARDING PROCESS!* 📣📣 🚨FIRST COME FIRST SERVE🚨 If you request a booking and choose to wait to book I may book someone else for your dates if requested and ready to book. If your dog is intact please bring diapers/let me know so I can set up accordingly. I request if you are needing services it be two weeks in advance. I’m very flexible as long as you bend with me. I do have a full-time job so your pet may be left alone while I’m at work. Please do not hesitate to send me a message if you have any questions! 🙃 Boarding: Your animals may be left in a kennel alone on Tuesday-Thursday while I am at work. I do come home on lunch to let dogs out whenever possible. Drop off and pickups may be done with my husband if needed (if I’m working at drop off or pick up time), he takes care of my boarders just as much as I do! House sitting: Your animal may be left alone when I am working. There also may be times I can’t show up at start time of the house sitting request. Please schedule a time to meet to distribute keys/door codes. Depending on distance from my job to the sitting, I can come back during lunch to let your animal outside to potty. I am offering House Sitting & Boarding. House Sitting: I request everything I need to care for your pet at meet&greet or start of booking depending on if I’m available. Boarding: Your pet will be crated in my living room while we are gone, or while I’m at work on Tuesday- Thursday as my husband is home Friday- Monday. Your animal must be okay with being around other dogs while eating or they may be crated during that time. All animals are allowed on the couch and when outside will be tethered for their safety. I request your pet is crate and potty trained.

“Gabrielle went above and beyond to make sure that my three cats were happy and comfortable while I was gone. I will definitely call on her again to care for my furry family.”

Donna W.

“Haley was absolutely amazing! She took such great care of our animals while we were away and was very responsive and extremely helpful. Titus and Turbo were both very well cared for and it gave us great comfort and peace of mind knowing that they were in good hands :)”

About: I’ve also had guinea pigs and rabbits and birds and goats. I love all animals and am happy to care for them no matter what shape or size. They all deserve love and attention and as long as I have solid instructions then I got it covered and they’ll feel like they’re my own babies. I’m currently unemployed. I’m getting certified to sell insurance and am home. I have two children in pre school and elementary school and the extra money would help a lot in this transitional period. I can happily come to your home and give your animals all the love they need. I’m in an apartment so coming to my home isn’t available currently but I can do check-ins or extended stays at your home depending on what you need.

About: My love for pets started to grow almost 15 years ago when I met my best friend! My pet had diet issues so I am very familiar with Prescriptions, and diet restrictions or prescribed diets. I love exploring the outdoors as much as your pets do! My weekly schedule is open, I am taking college courses for Veterinary Medicine! I am doing pet care as a job while I am in school, I base my schedule around what You and Your Pet need! I love to visit my clients, they make everyday so much better! I talk with the pet as I would anyone while we do whatever task we have scheduled! (playing, walking, running, sitting)

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs my entire life. My family frequently took in rescue pitbulls, so from a young age I learned how to train even the most stubborn animals. I began pet sitting for family/friends as a teenager. Many of the animals I took care of during this time were seniors, so I got quite a bit of experience in senior dog care. During college, I brought home a very energetic and very stubborn Cane Corso. I hired a professional trainer and learned many important tips on top of my already existing knowledge about dog training, which came in handy when I got a second corso. Throughout my life I’ve gained experience training puppies, taking care of senior pets, and caring for pets with diabetes and other chronic conditions. I’m currently PRN at my other job, so I can work my other job completely around the needs of your pet and what they’ll need while in my care. I have a fenced in yard and two bigger pups that are incredibly friendly and love having new dogs to play with. I also have a two year old daughter who is obsessed with animals, so needless to say your pet will not be spared any attention while in our home. Even if you’re not looking to board your pup, I have full availability to take care of your pet in the comfort of their own environment, and am willing to stop by as often as needed to make sure your pup gets all the care and attention needed while you’re away.

About: I’ve grown up with always having a pack of all different size dogs all ages my whole life I have a strong love for animals I love being around animals, I’m a daycare teacher normally but animals always have my heart. I never don’t have time for my furry four legged friends I love giving pups the attention they need and want. One of my pups with play fetch all day long if I let her. As well as the walks food and water they need. I’ve never met a four legged friend that I didn’t like

About: I have worked as a dog trainer in the past and can work with your dog while they are with us on basic skills. I can train them to sit, stay, and come the basic 3. I also love working with dogs and love their unique personality. I do dog sitting full time so when you pet is with me they are my number one priority. I will keep them happy by being able to make sure they are always attended to. I have a fenced in yard that they can run in. We keep water available 24/7 and check it 3 times a day to make sure it is full. We also have 2 dogs of our own that will love to have your dog over to play.

About: I grew up with three dogs. Their sizes ranged from small to big so I have experience with all. Three years ago, I made the decision to get my own dog and it has been the best decision!!! I grew up dog sitting my parents dogs, our neighbors dogs, my aunts, and sisters dogs. I am the known dog sitter to many people in my life and am ready to share that with other families looking for a reliable person to love their fur babies! My Husky is people reactive so I have experience walking/being around certain levels of reactivity. I am a teacher that is on summer break. I have a very flexible schedule and look forward to having the time to walk your pups! I am available to come to your home, but my house is unavailable due to my dog, not being friendly with others. I would love to walk your dog around your neighborhood and check in on them at your house!

About: Gone on a business trip? Family emergency on the other side of town? Just want a night out without thinking “did I let the dog out?” Never fear leaving your pet again! My name is Kayla, I’m 27 years old and I’ve been involved with animals all my life. Dogs, cats, hamsters, hedgehogs, goats, horses, cows, you name it! I pride myself in a crazy dog lady, and take care of every animal like they’re my own. Every animal is different and has specific quirks and needs that I’ll quickly pick up and adapt to. Your pet and I will without a doubt become best pals by the time you return, and you’ll never want another pet sitter again. Book me and find out! :) I currently work full time on the weekends, with occasional days during the week, but am able to be flexible with scheduling with advanced notice. Care would be best in your home, but we could possibly arrange care in my home with proper introduction to my animals and children first.

About: I currently work at a boarding facility and get to work with dogs of all sizes and temperaments! I especially do well with the pups that are a little more nervous or fearful as I’ve been working with dogs and have learned how to read them well! I love to see nervous pups flourish into who they truly are once they get warmed up! I am a lead at PetSuites so I do administer medication daily to pups aswell so don’t be shy about boarding your dog who needs medication! My work schedule: sun. 8-8 Mon, OFF tues 8-5:30 wed 8-5:30 thurs 8-8 fri 8-5:30 sat 8-5:30 IF YOU ARE UNCOMFORTABLE WITH YOUR DOG BEING LEFT ALONE FOR 10+ HOURS I CAN CHANGE MY 12 HOUR DAYS TO 9. You just have to book a few weeks in advance I currently work full time and depending on how close the dogs are to my work could swing by before and after work as well as on my break for potties and meals! On my days off I can spend much more time if not the whole day those days! My dogs at home are friendly but one is getting old and a little cranky so in home boarding/visits wouldn’t work best for me as it would likely make your dog more comfortable to be at their own home!

About: I love animals - cats, dogs, and more! I've taken care of them all my life. Some call me a "cat whisperer" and dogs love me too. 🐾 I am energetic and fun, love going for walks and hikes and playing fetch. We have a dog at home - Jack, a pit-lab mix, who gets along with other dogs and 3 children ages 3-13, so friendly and social dogs only please. I'm a stay at home mom with plenty of time for walks and playdates. Most days work just fine for me for walks and boarding. I have a fenced in yard with ample space to play. I have 1 dog and 3 animal-loving children, so your doggo won't ever feel lonely. I love to give treats, go on walks and play. Comfortable crating.

About: I am a lifelong animal lover and rescuer of dogs. Life is not complete without a dog to snuggle up with at the end of the day. I’m a retired public school teacher so my schedule is pretty open on weekends as well as week days right now. I’m ready to walk and care for your pet. I have a large fenced yard and 3 of my own rescue fur babies that get along with other dogs fabulously. I can do drop in visits at your home also. I love walking and staying active so walking your dogs will be a treat for me.
