“Anabeth is always on time and very respectful of our property. We hired her for weekly dog walks and our pup seems to love her! She’s very communicative and timely when answering messages. Would definitely recommend booking with her!”
“Laura does a wonderful job watching and walking our puppies and kitties. Our dogs take a little bit to warm up to others and she got them to open up quickly. We definitely plan on using Laura’s services for walks and housesitting in the future.”
“Chad is great with our large Chesapeake Bay Retriever. He did a great job, was attentive to her, and bonded well with her. She was excited to see him for every walk. I will definitely rehure Chad again.”
“Alyssa was the first person I contacted when I came to Kansas City. She was immediately available and arranged to meet my dog Two Bit, who loved her. She took great care of him and kept me notified of what was happening. I have already arranged a second session and will continue to use her services.”
About: I have had pets since the day I was born. I’ve cared for dogs since I was around 8 years old, so I know dog behavior pretty well. I also currently work at a doggy daycare/boarding facility, giving me lots of daily experience with lots of different temperament and attitudes. I love any kind of animal: cats, dogs, rabbits, birds, you name it, I’ll probably fall in love. I’m currently in online school and work, I am extremely flexible with availability. I work locally so even work days, I’ll have time for your pets. I follow all rules and guidelines set by the owners. I will put all my focus on the animals and can do some light housekeeping if needed.
About: I offer experienced and compassionate care for small breed dogs, specializing in those with medical needs and senior requirements. With a history of fostering and rescuing Chihuahuas and mixes, including ongoing work with Great Plains SPCA, I understand the unique needs of small dogs. I provide medication administration and attentive care in a loving home environment. Having recently lost our elderly dog, I recognize the stress of finding reliable care, and am dedicated to providing you with complete peace of mind. As I work from home, your cherished pet will receive constant supervision and affection, ensuring a comfortable and secure stay. Our two resident rescued Chihuahuas are well-socialized and welcoming to new furry friends. I love animals of all sizes and will happily come to your home to spoil your big babies! I am currently working from home most of the time with occasional work travel needed. I am open to any schedule you and your pets may need! Let's discuss. My home features a securely fenced, small-dog-friendly backyard, providing a safe and comfortable outdoor space. My two resident Chihuahuas are well-socialized and enjoy the company of other small dogs. I will prioritize personalized care, and request detailed information regarding your pet's preferences and routines to ensure their happiness and well-being. Whether your pet enjoys gentle serenades, comforting cuddles, or quiet relaxation, I am committed to fulfilling their individual needs.
About: I have loved and owned animals as long as I can remember. I was raised with dogs, and other small animals! My daughter and I lost our Ollie in August 2022 at 4 years old to lung cancer and would love to care for your pet until we are ready for our next family member. I am comfortable taking care of pets of any age. I can provide food and water bowls, blankets, dog beds, stuffed toys, and I have a medium size kennel. All you need to bring is food, treats, leash/harness and any special comfort items. My daughter loves to go outside every chance she gets so they will have a lot of outside time when the weather permits. They will be allowed to roam the house as they want and are allowed on furniture – like I said- spoiled. I love to send pictures while you are gone to share their adventures while they are here. I work from home so I will be around a majority of the time to play and take care of your family member while they are here. I have a fenced in yard – it is a short fence so fence jumpers are probably not the best fit for me. We can crate them when we are gone if needed and will do our best to stick to their regular routine.
“Suzanne did an AMAZING job accommodating my last-minute request for a dog walker. And on a Saturday to boot! She was very polite and professional, and my boy warmed up to her immediately! She's very confident and arrived promptly as scheduled. I will definitely be using her again!”
About: Love training, exercising, and playing with pets. I’ve had the responsibility of caring for all types of pets since a young girl. I’m definitely an animal lover. I’m retired but have a part-time job. I’m available 7 days a week unless I’m booked or out of town. I would love to care for your fur baby/babies. I will care for your pet/pets like they’re my own. I’ve always loved animals ever since I was a kid. Pets are very good company and they can relax your mind and soul.
“Kellie was awesome! The pictures were great and completely brightened our day. Based on the descriptions she sent in her messages and updates, it was clear to us that she took the time to get to know the individual personalities of our two pups. It’s so comforting to know that our dogs are in such good hands with her. We are so very happy that we found her, and can’t wait to have her back!”
“Jennifer was awesome! She responded quickly to a late request and was very flexible. She communicated well and with detail and I felt very comfortable with her right away.”
“Cass walked Pippi every day for us while we were out of town. It looked to be a wet, rainy 5 days in KC, and she still got our young energetic dog out and about! We loved getting our "Rover Card" each day with a good message and a few photos of Pippi, made us feel at ease and we could really enjoy our vacation. We know Pippi isn't all rainbows and lollipops, she is a strong 55lb girl that can pull when triggered, but we got no complaints or negative comments from Cass! I really appreciated Cass looking after our girl and doing such a good job. We will definitely be reaching out to her again for our next trip!”
About: I was raised with cats and dogs until I was 24 years old. During that time I also worked at a pet food supply store for two years and worked with and for all types of dogs. Since those days I have been teaching my way around the world, so haven't had any pets, but have been participating in Trusted Sitters pet sits for about 7 years, and I also have fostered cats in the past and have helped sick cats get nursed back to health. I am a teacher and get out of school usually between 2:30 or 3:30 so I have time in the afternoons to take care of pets, and the weekends. I also have summers off and am looking to perhaps do some pet sitting at people's homes either in the KC area, or as I travel to California to visit friends and family. I am very responsible, and organized, so any needs you have, I will abide by. In regards to my own home, if I were to house your pets at my place, I have a lot of space in the house I live in by myself (2500 sq.ft.) and a large yard.

“Misti is amazing! Her and her daughter are wonderful with our puppies. They have toys and a fenced in backyard for them to play in. She is very easy to work with.

She even has sent pictures of them before too, usually of them being spoiled.”

Oakwood dog parents share their Rover experiences
Gabriella was a fantastic walker for our Labrador!!! She was easy to talk to prior to the walk, handled our dogs quirks with ease and brought back a happy but tired dog. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a walker or pet sitting for their fur babies. Thank you Gabriella, I look forward to future walks with you!
