“Savannah was amazing as always! She even came to my house to get Ophelia and drop me off at class. I’m always so grateful for the extra mile she takes and Ophelia is nice and wore out from her time with Charlie’s and Savannah.”

“I was a little skeptical about boarding, only because I’ve never done it before. Colter and his pup made my dog, Pilot, feel comfortable. Pilot was able to play with another dog, which he seemed to really enjoy. He was exhausted after his stay, as he’s a little older than the other dog. He was definitely well cared for during his stay. I would book with Colter again.”


“Lauren really loves animals and it shows. I’ve never met anyone so kind and caring with their pets. This is the best pet sitting experience I’ve ever had by far and my dog seemed really happy. I’ll be using Lauren exclusively from now on. Thank you so much Lauren 🩷”



“Steve is wonderful with my little guy Fitz! He texts me updates and pictures throughout the day and is super flexible and willing to go the extra mile (especially when work emergencies come up).”


About: I grew up on the family farm surrounded by dogs and cats and all kinds of animals - caring for them was part of my life. That lifelong connection led me to volunteer at a local dog and cat shelter where I've gained even more experience with pets of all temperaments and needs. I treat every animal like family and I willl give your pet loving care whether it's for a quick walk or an overnight stay. I have a very flexible schedule so I can fully prioritize pet care. My days naturally revolve around the animals I am caring for and I enjoy creating routine that suits their needs. My home, farm in the woods, is calm and pet friendly space where animals can relax, go for walks or play. In client's home, I'm respectful of their space and routines, I communicate with the owner, send updates and make sure the pet has all my attention.

“Marilyn was so kind and generous with taking care of our puppy Obi. He looked like he had an amazing time and I enjoyed seeing how happy he was from the pictures and videos she sent. Would recommend and am happy I found someone who I can trust with my puppy.”



About: I'm especially good with timid animals, and I love making them feel more at ease. I have a soft presence and a lot of patience. I'm good at reading dog language. I'm super responsible, so you can count on me to follow your dog's preferred daily schedule and to send you updates. I work from home, in a neighborhood that's pleasant for dog walking, and we have a fenced backyard. I grew up with small dogs, wanted to be a vet. I've cared for my current doggo for 9 years. I work from home, and my time AWAY from home is flexible. I can definitely be here as your dog is getting used to our home. About your dog's experience in our home: My home office is on the main floor, and I'm aware of all activity in my small-ish house. Your dog can rest on the sofa, futon, rugs, or the big dog bed--or in a kennel if they prefer. I have a fenced yard with room to run. Our friendly 10-year-old, 35-pound boxer mutt, Kiri, enjoys playing with small dogs. But she's not at all pushy. :-) About caring for timid animals: I had a deep, deep bond with a very timid cat, and I just have a super soft spot in my heart for them. I had a shy young kiddo. One of my "day jobs" is a coach for introverted people: I help people honor their introversion, including their need for quiet, calm, and solitude. About my profile photos: I'm the one in the family who takes the photos, so it's nearly impossible to find a photo of ME and Kiri. :-} I include some photos of our house and yard (kids' faces blurred) to give you a sense of our space. Kiri is part of our family. She hangs out in the common spaces with us, and in the backyard. We take her to the dog park or on daily neighborhood walks. The first 3 photos are at dog parks. The rest of the photos show our house and yard.

“Lindsay was very accomidating. She allowed us to bring Mate by 15 minutes early. SHe graciously allowed me to introduce my skittish dog to her dogs in the fenced backyard and then bring him inside. She took note of special directions and followed them. She sent several pictures, all indicating a happy dog. Obviously Mate enjoyed his time there. I hope to use Lindsay in the future.”


About: Located just 10 minutes west of the Legends of Kansas City, your fur-baby will get the TLC that you’d provide in your own home. Plenty of attention and room to run! I currently work some evenings and weekends in order to homeschool during the day so we are home often. I will be clear about availability during bookings. My family is fur-baby friendly with 4 goats, a flock of chickens, two sweet puppies, and a cat currently. During bookings my two dogs (one is an outdoor farm dog) and cat will be kept separate to ensure the safety and comfort of all. Any medical, training, attention, and care needs will be accommodated as requested by the owner.

“Regan was amazing with my puppy. She sent me multiple updates throughout the days, fed my dog, took her potty, played, etc.. while I was at work. I plan on using her again :)”


About: I am an outdoor buddy who loves hiking so walking dogs is my daily pleasure! I have many years of experience in taking care of dogs from an early age. Come play with my Schnoodle! I volunteered at a local animal shelter before and adopted my dog from shelter as well. I work from home all weeks and will give full attention to all dogs. Limiting the number of dogs I can take care of is also a sign of showing responsibility to them. I offer dog-walking, daycare, boarding services. If you don’t mind, I will send photos/videos while they are staying with me. I have a pet and human-friendly Schnoodle at home working with me. Her duty is to play with other puppies to create great memories. My community has a large grass area near my place within 30 seconds. Also a cool trail within 2 minutes. It's the perfect place to host your pets!

About: I’ve provided everything from daily walks and drop-in visits to overnight stays and extended care. I’m comfortable administering medication, following detailed feeding routines, and providing enrichment to keep pets happy and stimulated. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and at home—even when you’re away. I work from home full time so I am home with pets at all times during the day. They will have constant care and attention. I have a super friendly dog to keep your pet company and access to a private dog park. Your pet will get the highest level of care when staying with me.

About: I’ve been a dog owner all of my life and always hated it when I had to kennel them for several hours and/or overnights. Always tried to look for people to help out with walks or play time. This is a great resource for those pets in need. Just looking to help your loved one get through those long days alone. I have a flexible job that I spend most of my time at home. It gives me the opportunity to do other things that I need done. I’m available most days. I have a large fenced in backyard and a dog of my own (Calvin). He loves other dogs and loves to have friends over. I’ve been a pet owner my whole life and want nothing but happiness and exercise for all.

About: I have an immense love for animals and treat my own as if they were my children, giving them endless care, respect, and affection. Their happiness and well-being are my top priorities, and I go above and beyond to ensure they feel safe, loved, and understood. This deep connection extends to every pet I care for, making me an exceptional pet sitter. I am patient, responsible, and attuned to each animal’s unique needs, whether it’s playtime, special diets, or just providing comfort. My dedication and genuine passion for animals make me someone pet owners can trust completely. I am always at home. I do work from home. But that is a few hours per day and my schedule can be adjusted to the needs of any animal. I have a lead setup but all dogs will be taken on multiple walks a day. During bed time they would be with me unless requested by owner to be crated.

About: I'm grew up life at farm which with many animals. I love pets. There many story to telling. It can't explain.:) just ask me any.:) I work at home and I am always free and take my dog for a walk! I love to walk too which is known we me busy and I make a dogs happy and dogs make me happier! My parent has a big fence back yard. So the dog can play, enjoy, and be free! I always walk through the forest too and I can take the dog with me to hike on leash too in back forest tho!

Maggie L.
“I’m happy to recommend my friend Maggie for pet giver position. She’s amazing with animals and genuinely loves them. Maggie has a dog of her own, Pepsi, whom she has cared for over the past three years. When Maggie first adopted her, Pepsi was shy girl and tend to be nervous around people that she is mot familiar with. But now, thanks to all the love and care Maggie’s given her, Pepsi has turned into the sweetest, most friendly little angel and warms up to strangers quickly. Maggie’s also looked after my dog, Buddy, a few times, and they hit it off immediately. Buddy felt totally comfortable with her when they first meet, even when i am not around. If you’re looking for someone kind, patient, responsible and love animal with all her heart to look after your pet, Maggie’s the one!”
