Top rated Oak Park Southeast house sitters

“Erin was so excellent with our two doodles! She sent us plenty of updates to give us peace of mind, and although we did not ask her to clean, I’m pretty sure she did. Our home did not look like somebody had been here dog sitting/house sitting while we were gone. We will definitely check to see if Erin is available again if we need future dog care. 10/10 highly recommend!”


“Taryn is wonderful. We will definitely hire her again. She’s very pleasant and great with our pets. They warmed to her immediately. She’s a problem solver (we had a minor plumbing issue which she solved on her own but contacted us). She stays in touch just enough so we know all is well but not so much that we can’t enjoy our time away. She went above and beyond. Excellent pet and house sitter!”


“Lulu was amazing! She sent lots of pictures and updates and was wonderful with our pups! We will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”


“Rachel is amazing! She was excellent with our high-needs pup and house-sitting. She was careful to look out for new behaviors from our dog and contact us about how to address them. We highly recommend her, she is trustworthy and great with animals!”


“Went on a weekend getaway and Kami was so great with our girl. We have a newish adopted doggy who is reactive and Kami was so kind and patient with her. We will definitely rebook!”


“Ava stayed with my pup and was fabulous. I received picture updates, great communication, and could tell he was a happy boy and well taken care of. I look forward to their next stay together!! Thank you so much, Ava!!”



“Lori is so great with our pets. They love her and she is very conscientious and thorough. We also appreciated the extra steps she took when in our home to give us peace of mind regarding COVID-19. Thank you Lori!”


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!

“Kadyn did an incredible job not only watching my dog, but updating me frequently and setting my mind at ease for the first trip I've ever had to hire a sitter for. Exceptional service!”


“Abby took time to get to know my pack before we left. It was apparent she has a big heart for animals. My pets were well taken care of as evidenced by the pictures she sent. We have a skiddish kitty who was not only seen, but comfortable in all the pictures! I will use Abby again.”


“This is the second time Vanessa has watched my greyhound mix, and it was just as good as the first time. She's responsive and sends daily updates. I would recommend Vanessa to others.”


“Kayla always takes such great care of our fur babies. She’s great with communication and genuinely loves animals. Our place is always spotless after our stay and she’s willing to go above and beyond. Thanks again for taking such great care of our home and fur babies!”


“So thankful to have found Ellie to house sit with our cat! It was the happiest she's even been while we're away. Ellie is so responsive and thoughtful -- it was like having a friend over to care for our Lily :)”


“Charlett was great and trustworthy! She showed up on time, was quick to communicate, spent time hanging out with our dog, even texted pictures of him throughout our vacation. Charlett even drew us a picture of our dog. We will use her again!”


“Noelle was an amazing sitter for our 5th month old puppy and cat! She sent us regular updates/pictures and made sure our babies were well taken care of for the night we were gone. Would definitely recommend her if you need someone to stop by and check on your pet or if you need someone to stay the night at your place!”


“Took great care of pongo and Bork chop, and sent lots of daily updates with photos making my first time leaving both of them while out of town much more relaxing, knowing they were in great hands!”


About: Hi! My name is Lyric, and I’m super eager to start caring for your pets. I have years of experience, from working as a dog walker and sitter, for a company in my home town in Overland Park! I also have my own person experience having grown up with two German Shepherds and a senior teacup Yorkie! My job introduced me to so many different breads and personalities, giving me the knowledge to be able to customize my care around each dog based on their on their specific needs and what’s most beneficial and enjoyable for them! I’m super comfortable with all kinds of dogs—from big and energetic to small and cuddly. I personally trained all three of my dogs to shake and roll over, and I also helped care for my Yorkie during his senior years before he passed. My main goal is to make sure each dog feels loved and appreciated! Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, or just some company while you’re away, I bring patience, love, and genuine care to every visit. I’ll treat your dog like they’re part of my family. I’m currently in nursing school and looking for a flexible job that fits around my classes and study time. Pet care is the perfect fit—not only does it work with my schedule, but spending time with dogs brings me a calming sense of comfort that helps balance the stress of school. I’ve always found that being around animals is healing, and I love how caring for them benefits both of us. Plus, I enjoy staying active, so daily walks and playtime are a bonus I genuinely look forward to. Whether I’m in my home or yours, I always aim to make pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I follow any routines or instructions closely—whether it’s feeding schedules, preferred walking routes, or special care needs. I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and potty breaks, and I keep things clean and calm. I’m respectful of each home I visit and treat it with care, just like I do with your pets.

About: from cats, dogs, bunnies, bearded dragons, etc. i’ve both owned and taken care of all types of pets whether they were my own or i was watching them for somebody else! attentive, great communicator, pays attention to detail, current cat owner, and more; are all reasons i’m qualified to care for your fur babies! i’m a waitress so i can build my schedule week by week and its no problem taking days off! even if i work it’s usually a 4-6 hour shift so i have plenty of time to be at home with your pet! my days off depend by week! my cat at home gets her litter box cleaned daily and deep cleaned twice a month! i’m the sole person responsible for her and she has never had any serious health issues nor any accidents happen to her! She’s my pride and joy! I just dog sat this weekend for an old coworker where I watched their 2 dogs all weekend! the owners were worried that the dogs weren’t gonna eat cuz they get home sick from them, but i got them comfortable with me enough where they ate normally!
