“My dog Maggie loves Noelle. Noelle is friendly and spends a lot of time with Maggie and my cat. She sends good photos & I feel that my pets and my property are safe with her.”
“Taryn was fantastic! She showed up right on time, let our dogs out, and spent a full half-hour playing with them. Communication was quick and easy, and I really appreciated the picture updates—it gave me peace of mind knowing my pups were happy and well cared for. I would absolutely book her again!”
“Nicole was great with our pets! We have two cats and she consistently updated us with thorough notes and plenty of pictures :) we look forward to having her cat sit again!”
“This was my first time to use Rover and I had such a great experience with Marinda! She watched my cat while I was away for a few days and she kept me updated with photos and videos on each visit. I recently changed my cats food and he has been iffy with it, but Marinda gave me peace of mind letting me know how he was eating with each drop-in visit. She kept the litter box clean, vacuumed up messy litter, and even washed a few dishes! I could tell my cat Buzz loved playing with her based on the videos she sent. She was always quick to respond and thorough in her updates. I will definitely use her services again and I highly recommend her for your pet!”
“Ron took great care of our dogs over a five day period during a busy holiday season. His drop-in visits occurred in the schedule we had requested, and he managed the daily walks we had asked for in addition to the regular feeding, watering, and backyard visits. With all the real-time notices of his visits, and we were able to relax and enjoy our trip. Great experience!”

About: I’ve taken care of big/ small dogs since I was about 10 years old! I’ve been able to help out lots of friends, family, and mutual friends throughout the years to feed, watch, take care of, and play with their pets! I’m currently a student-athlete at UMKC, I love to stay active and would love to help out in any way I can! I will be moving out of state at the end of my semester in the second week of May. I’d be glad to help your pets up until then :) I’ve got an acre yard to make sure your pet has lots of room to play! I can easily kennel your pet if needed. I also have a very friendly dog to keep your pets company!
“Anna was great! She communicated consistently with any scheduling troubles she ran into, and offered to add on extra visits in case our neighbor was unable to help. We felt our cats were in very good hands. Will definitely book 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!”

About: I have cared for dogs since I was 7 years old. I have experience caring for pets in all stages of life, from new puppies to senior dogs with unique medical needs. I have experience administering medications and tube feeding, as well as other specialties. For the past 10 years, I have had 3 dogs of my own. Unfortunately 2 of my babies passed away last year, both of which I provided unique medical care for. In college, my house was nicknamed The Kennel, as I would dog sit at least one pet a week while their owners were out of town. I truly love animals more than anything in the world, and would be honored with the responsibility of caring for your loved one. I am currently transitioning careers, taking some time to complete job advancement training. I am available throughout the workday, as well as evenings and weekends as well. I have flexibility with my time and am happy to adjust my schedule to best fit your needs! I have a fenced in backyard, and 3 small playful dogs in my home to keep your best friend company. I am comfortable and have experience crating while pet sitting as well
About: We have had pets all of our life. From dogs to cats, bunnies, hamsters, and mice! We love going on walks, playing in the house or snuggling up on the couch. Special diets are no problem. I have taken care of geriatric pets and tummy sensitive pets before. I work 3 days a week. Katie is home all the time and is able to tend to your baby all day so your fur baby won't be lonely! We have a fenced in back yard and a cozy living room with plenty of dog beds to go around. I live right by a park with a walking trail for potty breaks. We do have 4 dogs and 3 cats of our own that are very friendly and love to play.
“My cat had a wonderful time from Erin's visits while I was on a trip. Erin made sure all of his needs were met each day, and treated him to great play and birdwatching sessions!”
“Thanks so much for taking such good care of everybody! All three pets were very comfortable with her, I loved getting photos while I was gone, and I so appreciate the attention to detail.”
