“Mallory was great! She was kind and professional and gave great updates and you could tell she cared for my dogs - I would definitely use her again.”

“Deidre was our first Rover sitter and we couldn’t have been more pleased. She provided excellent care to our senior dog and wonderful updates after each visit. I highly recommend her!”
“Alexandra is wonderful!! She’s the perfect person to take care of my pup, from snuggles to playing to knowing dog first aid and how to handle reactive dogs like mine. Thank you so so much Alexandra! We will def be using you again. Phoebe loves you ?✨”
“Marlee was very accommodating and took great care of my cat. She sent updates each visit as well as some adorable pictures. I would recommend and will contact again in the future. Thank you! ?”

About: I've had pets for ages, cats & dogs. Right now I don't have any, home is lacking! I have a special heart for smaller dogs! Right now, I'm working from home part time. So am pretty flexible watching your pet. My preference is to have your pet here in my home. I have a large fenced in back yard, dogs seem to love roaming in it! I prefer to crate at night and have always crated my dog when leaving home. I find dogs seem more secure when crated.
“Thank you so much she kept me updated while my pup had stomach issues over the weekend. I appreciated the peace of mind while I was away from my boy for the first time ever!”

“Megan did great with checking in with my dogs. She was also very punctual even with her working another job. I did not need punctuality, but if that something you’re looking for she shows up when she says she will. Thank you for checking in with my dogs!”
“Katy is wonderful with our senior cat, Fredo, who has special medical needs and likes a lot of attention. We always come home to a happy and content cat, so we know that Katy has taken great care of him while we were gone! We highly recommend her to anyone needing a pet sitter in the KC area.”

“Absolutely amazing!! I can always trust them to take great care of my 2 old kitties while I'm away. I know that they are getting plenty of love and attention. So thankful for them!!”


About: I’ve cared for dogs my entire life and have experience with dogs at every stage of life, from newborn puppies to senior dogs requiring extra care. I’m comfortable administering medications and following detailed care instructions when needed. I also have experience working with dogs that have behavioral challenges such as separation anxiety, resource guarding, and reactivity. While I’m not a certified trainer, I’m very familiar with canine body language and believe strongly in calm, consistent handling. I’ve helped puppies learn leash walking, basic obedience commands (sit, stay, down, etc.), and have supported owners during early potty-training stages. For boarding, I do require that dogs are already potty trained so they can comfortably integrate into the household routine. Exceptions may be made on a case-by-case basis for an additional cost. My goal is always to create a calm, safe environment where each dog feels comfortable and well cared for. I care for pets full-time, which allows me to maintain a flexible schedule for walks, drop-ins, and boarding. Dogs staying in my home receive regular potty breaks, exercise, and supervision throughout the day. Because my schedule is flexible, I can accommodate morning, midday, and evening needs and will adapt to your dog’s routine so their schedule stays as consistent as possible. I prioritize a calm, safe environment for every dog in my care. I intentionally board dogs from only one household so each dog receives individual attention and a lower-stress environment compared to high-volume boarding homes. I have my own friendly dog, and I always ensure dogs are a good temperament match before confirming a stay. Meet-and-greets are encouraged so both dogs can become comfortable before the booking. I carefully follow each dog’s feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any medications or special instructions provided by the owner. Safety and consistency are always my top priorities.
“Olga is amazing with my boys!! She’s very sweet with them and always makes sure they have plenty of love!! My biggest dog can be jumpy and demanding. She is amazing with him!!”

About: My mother has been a veterinarian for almost 30 years now, and we always had dogs in the home I grew up in, so I have learned a great deal about caring for them. Recently, I got to dog-sit my Aunt's two dogs while she was out of the country for several weeks, and I realized how much enjoyment it brings me. She knew me well enough to know that I only use positive reinforcement training. I am also experienced with dogs that are shy, aggressive, and in training. Contact me now to see if I am the perfect fit for your dog! Currently, I have a flexible schedule each week and can stop by your house for 30-60 minutes each morning, afternoon, and/or evening. Let me know the times you're considering at least a week in advance, if you can. I can come to your home to feed and medicate your dogs if needed. I enjoy playing and giving walks as well. Please let me know which are their favorite toys.
About: I've grown up with dogs my whole life and had a mini dachshund for 15 years. Over the last decade I've been called on numerous times to watch and board dogs for friends, family and neighbors. I am a single dad who has custody of my kids 50/50 so when I don't have them I could give a dog my undivided attention and be its best friend! On weekends we could hit a trail or go for a long walk at a park. Monday through Friday I usually leave for work around 6:45 or 7, and will return home around 4 pm. And in the evening we'll hang out and have fun! I live within walking distances to a few parks for walks. The Trolley Trail is nearby too if your pet likes a bit of a longer walk.
“It was a delight to meet Rachael for a drop in visit. My pup took to her immediately. Looking forward to her taking care of Pippa while we're away. She asked good questions, she had good responses to my questions, and she left me feeling much more comfortable about having someone stay in my home.”

About: I personally trained our two family dogs, Edward & Bella (shelties). We sadly lost them both the last 3 years, however. I love dogs/cars and still trying to convince my fiancé to get one of our own. I would show anyone’s pet with the same respect I’d give to my own. I enjoy helping others and their pets even more. I’m very patient and love to play with dogs. I am very friendly and would love to meet your fur baby. I am between careers currently and pursuing my dream job of becoming a firefighter. My fiancé is an ER Doctor and is supporting my career path so I am very available until my courses start in July. I have one trip at the end of April for about 8 days and another in May for only two days. I will be available Monday-Friday (some Saturdays or Sundays if necessary) until that July start time. I have helped multiple friends out with their animals before. I specifically have watched two Golden Retrievers for some friends and my future mother-in-law’s Miniature Schnauzer, multiple times. I love them all like they’re my own and have done everything from feeding them, walking them, playing with them and even staying the night/having them over.
