“Just got back from my trip yesterday and Monet did a wonderful job with my Greta. She was patient and professional. She takes pet care very seriously and I’ve already booked her for my next trip.”
“Lulu has been wonderful! She has been walking my 10 month old puppy who was not great on a leash but seems to be doing well! My puppy cries for her when she drops her off! Lulu is very punctual and professional and has answered any questions I have. She also leaves a detailed report after each walk. I would highly recommend her!”
“Amber has been absolutely wonderful with my dog! She is communicative, shows good judgment and is excellent to work with. We are very thankful for her walks and attentiveness.”
“Katie was AMAZING! There was great communication and she always showed up on time with a smile on her face. Our dog absolutely loved her. He would wait at the window for her when I would tell him that she was coming. I felt very comfortable in having her walk him and had absolutely zero worries. I will definitely be using her again in the future for all my dog walking needs.”
About: I’ve been taking care of my own pets as well as pet sitting for friends and family for more than 20 years. I have two dogs and two cats. One of my dogs is disabled and requires a lot of care. I’m well trained to take care of any of your pets who require special care. I spent three years as a pet store manager and I can care for birds, reptiles, small animals, fish, dogs, and cats. I’m a high school teacher and so I’m up by 5am and off work by 3pm. I can come before school, as well as any time after 4:00. I can easily care for your pet in your home. Keeping them in a familiar place and on their normal routine. This allows their familiar sights and sound while you are away.
About: Hello! I have been taking care of animals since I could remember! I grew up with a Bichon for 17 years. In between, I have had Guinea pigs for 8 years. I have a 5 yr old Havanese named Blanche and she is my life! I am currently a zookeeper at the Kansas City Zoo and Aquarium and work with a variety of species everyday. Whether it's birds, reptiles, or mammals, I always strive to give every animal the best care possible! I also have vet care experience, and specialize in animal training:) I currently work full-time Wednesday-Sunday with Mondays and Tuesdays off. I am currently available for drop-ins before and after work, and anytime during my weekend. I ALWAYS want your pet to be the top priority. I always strive to provide the best care to your furry friend and treat them like my own.
“Hanna goes above and beyond to treat my dog the best he can be. She is super reliable and will always take great care of your animal. I appreciate all she does for my dog, and highly recommended for anyone needing great care.”
About: Hi! My name is Megan and I currently have three cats and a rat terrier puppy who 5 years old! Unfortunately in 2018 I lost my 14 year old Jack Russell Terrier. I love animals and have always had at least one pet in my life, usually cats and dogs at the same time so if you have cats too I'm good to go. I love hanging out with animals and would be thrilled to sit your whenever you need :) Since I have so many pets at my house at the moment, I cannot board dogs, but I can do anything else! I'm always ready to welcome new furry friends into my life, even temporarily. Please let me know if you have any more questions! I work full time in OP so I am able to drop in on pets before or after my 8-5 shifts and anytime over the weekends. I like to make sure pets are comfortable with me and with each other, so I don't have pets stay in my own home. This is because I have many of my own pets. I only watch pets in their own homes.
About: I have had dogs since I was young and I learned how to train puppies/dogs from my father. I am very friendly and loving with dogs, but authoritative as well when needed. I can trim your dogs nails as well as bathe/groom them. I communicate well about concerns and updates regarding an owners pet. Daily activities with your animal is what I love; whether that’s walking, going to the park, or playing in the yard. I have had to take out puppies throughout the night to potty train as well. I am able to take care of your animals anytime for general activities or pet care. I am available to house sit your dog while you are away. It’s possible to board a dog at my house during the day or even overnight, but only small/medium dogs because I own so many animals already and there’s not a lot of space for large dogs. I can come to your home and do anything you would like for your doggo; whether that’s playing in the yard, going for a walk, feeding, going out to go potty, or even light grooming. I can clean after your animal to ensure there’s no messes in your home. At my house I have a fenced in yard in a safe neighborhood with two friendly dogs of my own to play and keep each other occupied. There is a sidewalk all throughout my neighborhood perfect for daily walks.
“Olga always does a great job with my four dogs. Ivy has been even walking just with a collar and leash. Olga works on some of their training while she has them and my dogs have fun every week.”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and absolutely love animals. My family currently has dogs, and I’ve spent years helping care for pets for friends and family through dog sitting, cat sitting, walking, feeding, playtime, and overnight house sitting. I’m very attentive, responsible, and great at following detailed care instructions so your pets stay happy, comfortable, and on their routine while you’re away. I work a flexible schedule, which makes pet care a perfect fit for me. I enjoy spending my free time around animals and love helping families when they need someone reliable to care for their pets and home. I’m available for dog walking, drop-in visits, house sitting, and pet sitting depending on scheduling and availability. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets and home. I’m extremely responsible, clean, communicative, and detail-oriented. I always follow written instructions carefully, whether that includes feeding schedules, medications, walks, crate routines, or home care requests. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, loved, and stress-free while you’re away.
About: Been taking care of a doggo since I was six... From bathing them after a nice roll in some poop to giving them all the snuggles in the world, I have done it all. I know the true responsibility of owning and caring for a dog, as I would tend to all the needs of my lovely golden retriever. They are pure joy & love, and I know they mean the world to us owners, but they also require lots of work! So I'm here to help. With a flexible schedule and a passion for pups, let me be the one to make sure your special k9 is living their best life. Whether it's a brisk walk or a weekend of fetch, it's a happy doggy. I am working from home with a flexible schedule! Eager for a morning and evening walks and afternoon strolls around the block! Always room for pets during the day. No dogs or kids in this apartment. Safe environment for dogs with parks locally to run around or lakes to walk to. Home does have stairs.
“Caty took the time to come meet me and Rookie. She walks Rookie during the time frame that I asked and I get wonderful pictures and updates. Caty even made sure that Rookie was cared for when the weather was too precarious to allow travel. We're thankful for her time and care!”
