Laurie was communicative, punctual, and sent updates and photos for each drop-in visit. This is my first time using her, but excited to establish an ongoing relationship and use her again for future needs.

Misti is the BEST sitter I we’ve ever had. Our pets love her! We were gone for two weeks and she took great care of them. Attentive to their needs, took them on long walks, and even updated us on some eating habit changes. Our little void wasn’t eating as much as he usually does, she immediately let us know and we figured it out together. She is a GEM!!!

I couldn’t have asked for a better, Pet Sitter! Leaving my cat while I was on vacation is never easy but from the moment I met Theresa, I knew they were in excellent hands. She is attentive, reliable, and genuinely caring. She really took the time to get to know my cats, so they were comfortable around her. And I was so thankful she was able and willing to give insulin injections to my diabetic cat. I especially appreciated the regular updates, photos, and little notes about how each visit went. It gave me so much peace of mind. It’s such a relief to find someone who treats your pets like their own. I would absolutely trust Theresa again without hesitation and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible, compassionate, and top-notch Pet Sitter!

About: I have had many animals over the years. As I child, we had so many breeds of dogs. From Saint Bernard, Great Dane, and Bull Mastiff. To sheep dogs and small mixed breed dogs. We currently bace 1 cat, who is the chillest, sweetest cat I’ve ever known. We have 5 kids, who LOVE animals. Your sweet fur baby won’t even know you are gone, with all the love they would get at our house. I was laid off in 2024, so I am currently home with our toddler, while the big kids are at school. So your fur baby would have someone with them all day! We have a big fenced in yard, and a great neighborhood for walks! Your fur baby would be well loved in our care. I am currently home with our 1 year old daughter. My oldest are in school. We go to the gym a few times a week, and do some reselling on the side. But we are never gone for very long and can give your fur baby lots of love and attention. I have a fenced yard, with a 6 foot fence. So your fur baby will be safe! We have plenty of space to crate if needed. We also have a cat tree and lots of good hiding spots for more timid kitties.

About: I have always had a love for all kinds of animals. Ive enjoyed watching family and friends pets as well as caring for my own pets in my apartment. I'd love to get to know you and your unique pet and make them feel even more loved and appreciated. I have past background knowledge on pet nutrition,hygiene and behavior traits. I am currently starting school in March to gain my pharmacy technician certification, I would have open availability to provide assistance for you and your pets. I do have a dog with me, her name is Maze. Maze is a rescue, she stays in my room and going on walks multiple times a day as well as dog parks, she would love to have a friend. Maze eats 2 times a day once in the morning and once in the evening with a snack (can of tuna/shredded chicken) in the afternoon. Maze talks walks in a harness to provide safely,we do have an extra! I have cats as well, the are allowed to freely roam around with little latches that keep bedroom doors open just enough for them to go in and out, they are also fed twice a day with wet food and have dry kibble out for free feeding through the day, since they have smaller stomachs they eat more frequently, howver the dry food is only filled once it runs out completely, the cats also have a running water fountain as well as other water bowls on elevated surfaces. Their are plenty of pet beds,toys and treats, if their are any allergies please let me know!

Paola has been such a wonderful life saver! She was able to help me last minute, adapt to an off-time schedule, and made sure my pup was taken care of so I had one less thing to worry about while I was at work. I’ve utilized her services multiple times and will definitely continue to ask for her help.

Erin takes great care of my dog Buddy, she sends me a lot of good pictures of my dog when she visits. In all the pictures she sends, you can just see in his face how much joy he has being around her and I think that’s a pretty good indicator of the quality pet sitter she is!

About: I treat every pet like they’re my own, taking the time to learn their little quirks, routines, and what makes them happiest. Whether your pet loves nonstop play or just wants a cozy place to relax, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for the whole time you’re away. I have experience with both energetic puppies and sweet senior pets. I can help reinforce basic training for puppies—like potty habits and leash manners—and I’m patient and gentle with older pets who may need a slower pace, extra attention, or medication support. I’ll also keep you in the loop with regular updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, loved, and in good hands. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy, so I naturally build it into my day rather than trying to squeeze it in. I like having a flexible routine that lets me give each pet real attention instead of rushing in and out. Most days, I plan around morning and evening visits when pets are usually most active or need their routine care. That might mean feeding, fresh water, litter box cleanup, potty breaks, or just spending a little time playing or keeping them company so they don’t feel lonely. I also like checking in with owners so they feel connected and reassured while they’re away. On a weekly basis, I organize my schedule so I can be consistent and dependable for each pet I’m caring for. I make sure there’s enough space in my routine to show up on time, follow instructions closely, and give every animal the same level of care and attention. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all instructions closely—feeding schedules, walk routines, medication needs, and any specific house rules—so your pet feels secure in their familiar environment. I also make sure doors, gates, and any escape risks are always checked and secured before and after each visit. I take time to build trust with each pet at their own pace, especially shy or anxious animals. I approach calmly, respect their boundaries, and let them come to me when they’re ready. For more energetic pets, I make sure they get safe, positive outlets for play and exercise.

About: I’ve had dogs all my life and it seemed the family dogs always gravitated toward me. I can’t imagine life without them! I’ve been caring for other’s dogs ever since I got my drivers license. The first dog I watched for a family (a beautiful Alaskan husky) had diabetes and required diabetic shots twice a day. Even though it hurt to have to give him shots, I loved having the opportunity to care for dogs other than my own. Since then I’ve had the opportunity of being the go-to dog watcher for several families with several different dog (and cat) breeds. I will make every effort to give your dog the same care that I was able to give Skyler and the rest of the dogs I’ve had the great fortune of watching and taking care of. There’s not many things that give me more joy than spending time with dogs. Now that I have more time on my hands in my 30’s I have recently gotten connected with volunteering with KC Pet Project. Dogs deserve all the love in the world. I currently work from home Monday and Friday so in addition to the weekend, it opens up availability to be present for the doggie. I’m in the office Tuesday - Thursday but available for morning/evening and quick bathroom breaks over lunch. I have a fenced in backyard and ample space inside the house to make your dog comfortable. I can crate if needed, but also have rooms that can function as “dog” rooms for the periods when I need to leave the house. I have my own Belgian Malinois, who mostly does her own thing. :)

Laurie was so good with my kitties! She came through at all the appropriate times, took GORGEOUS photos of them, and gave me an update with how they were doing at every visit! It made me feel very secure, and coming back to a house of cats that didn’t seem overly stressed or relieved upon my return confirmed the rest. She did a great job looking after my cats and keeping me posted!

It took Sebastian barely a moment to get comfortable with Samantha! From the meet and greet, immediately demonstrated confidence and competence in knowing how to approach and interact with him, and watching him warm up to her more and more with each visit reaffirmed that I made the right choice as a first-timer to Rover! I will be requesting her services again without a doubt.
