About: History: I have had dogs all throughout my life, starting in middle school when my mom and I adopted our first- under the agreement that I had full responsibility! Since then, I have had three dogs on my own, and I have provided care for my friends' and families' pets while they're away. Currently: I volunteer at Missouri Pit Bull Rescue weekly, and I have had several foster dogs through them as well. I dog-sit for my neighbors regularly. I live with my husband and our dog, Bully Porter, a 5-year-old spayed female pitbull mix. I am a registered nurse of over 12 years, and I also have experience administering medications to dogs. I am the main point of contact for the medical team through Missouri Pit Bull Rescue. I typically work from home, and during which, I have time through the day to care for pups who come to our home. Sometimes, we have a foster through the rescue, and during that time, I will need to turn off daycare/boarding. In the mornings, evenings, or over my lunch break, I can take dogs on walks or do drop-in visits. I am off most weekends as well. I do ask for flexibility with drop-in times, as my schedule may change with meetings and having to go in-person, however, I do my best to be accommodating, and I stay in communication. We have a 5' hog wire fenced yard with plenty of room for dogs to run around and play. Our female pit mix is SUPER friendly and would love to keep your dog company and play! We have 2 crates available (one medium, one XL, and when not fostering, two XL) if needed.

About: I've been taking care of all kinds of babies since I was a little girl. From bottle feeding bunnies and kittens to reptiles and horses. I usually always have some kind of a rescue at my house whether it be a foster dog or a some off the wall duck someone brought to me. I take care of them all as they were my own. My true passion is training though! My father has always trained his bird dogs as well as others and I've just always enjoyed seeing what different breeds can do/pick up on. I work remote and part-time at that, so I have plenty of time to tend to your fur baby. I have a fairly open schedule so I can be pretty flexible to fit your needs! I have a large yard (it's being fenced but is not currently) my 2 dogs and cat would love to play with your baby. We enjoy long walks or just snuggling on the couch. I'll treat yours as my own.

“Being from Lawrence I wanted to find a place close to home but I took a chance on in home care out of town and Mahala is 100% worth the 30-minute drive Monday-Friday. She’s incredibly accommodating and truly treats Gus like her own! he’s so spoiled with her. Gus is usually a very nervous dog, but he immediately fell in love with her, her family, and her dog, which says everything. He has a great space to play and relax, and now he gets excited to go to daycare every day. I couldn’t recommend Mahala more!”

About: I begged for my first dog when I was 10 years old, since then I have never been without one. I used to be called Brittany Dolittle as I just naturally gravitate toward animals. I watch friends and neighbors dogs while they are out of town with the help of my 3 kids. My kids are just as much animal lovers as I am. I am a stay at home mom that is currently taking some college classes. I am home pretty much all day. I have 3 boys that have been begging me to let them help watch our neighbors dogs, so they will be in charge of extra fun play time. I live in a house with a fenced backyard. Dogs do not get left outside. My dog is my biggest baby and is spoiled rotten. I have 2 cats that are very chill. Dogs will not be unsupervised and must sleep in a crate at night.

About: My husband and I have a dog Anavrin Skye (Nirvana spelled backwards) she is such a sweet girl! She loves all people and animals! I've grown up with dogs my entire life and my love for all animals started at a young age. I've watched dogs for my friends and family for many years including puppies and senior dogs. You can rely on me to take care of your dog like you would take care of them. RIP Harley Jade our little angel. We miss you, sweet girl. I will have plenty of time to take your dogs on walks, play time, appointments,boarding, any anything else needed. Please reach out to me with any questions about my schedule. The way I care for my dog is how I will care for your dog. Your dog will always be safe in our caring and loving home.

“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).”

“Savannah took excellent care of our dog while we were out of town! Skip stayed with her for a week and was in heaven getting to play with her dog, getting walks, and lots of attention while we were away! She sent me pictures and report cards daily and we were able to enjoy our vacation much more knowing that he was enjoying his time away as well!”

“Teddy spent one night at Luke’s place and had a blast playing with his dog. Luke was very helpful and flexible with pickup and drop-off times! We would definitely leave Ted with Luke and his family again.”

About: Between Elijah and Sarah, we have taken care of 5 personal pets, including puppies and big dogs. We have a border collie/lab mix who would love to have a friend around to play with! We have a large fenced in backyard perfect for a dog who loves to run. If you have a larger dog who is friendly and good with cats this is the perfect home for your dog to stay! We have a strict one-client policy so you have the guarantee your pets will be the only ones staying with us. We both work from home, so we are readily available at all times to take care of any dog’s needs, including many breaks to play with the doggos and run around with them outside. We have experience handling pills and can watch any high-needs dog. We have a large fenced in backyard and there are very few circumstances where someone is not home. We have a 1600 sq ft, 4 bedroom home with plenty of room for your fur baby! Our dog, Georgia, would love to keep your little pup company!

“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 have had dogs in my home for almost my whole life. I have a pug, golden retriever, and a mutt that are all a couple years apart in age. For two years, I volunteered at a humane society where I walked and cared for dogs of all kinds. Senior, puppy, sick, I have a lot of experience and I would love to get more! I’m currently working at a golf course near Forest Lake. My schedule for work comes out weekly, so I’m unaware what my weeks look like well in advance. I don’t like to do this, but if your pups are able to be home for about 6-8, then this would be a great fit! Obviously I wouldn’t work every day of the week, so I will be available to give them my full attention. Your pups are my priority and I wouldn’t want them to feel uncomfortable with my wack work schedule in any way. My shifts will either be 6-2 or 2-9, or shorter. I prioritize respect for your space and routines. Whether your pet prefers potty breaks in a fenced yard or leashed walks, I’ll follow your preferences to keep them comfortable and safe.

“Lauren was great! Chicago enjoyed a fun doggy care day! Her place is very clean and the perfect set up for a pup! She had great communication and even sent pictures and updates!”

Megan S.

“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 🩷”

About: *** New Rover Clients: Get $20 off your dog/cat's first booking! Contact me & enter promo code: SHEILW34825 at checkout. 😊 I grew up around and loved animals, especially cats and dogs. I have owned a lab, boxer and pitbull. I have also had cats all through growing up and in my adult life. After my last dog passed away in 2018, I found my home empty and needing some four-legged friends, but I am not quite ready to have my own again. Therefore, I would love to spoil your pets for a short time as if they were my own! I have an 11-year-old daughter who loves animals as well, and we would like to provide the utmost care and affection to your pets so you can have peace of mind while you are away. We will also give baths, and I can provide medicine to dogs if needed. Our home is 100% dog-friendly, and I aim to ensure your dog is comfortable and having fun! When taking on a new client, I recommend scheduling a meet and greet before booking. This gives us a chance to meet and introduce us to your pet and answer any questions you may have. I work from home and have time to let your fur baby outside as much as needed. We can even take walks at lunch! We have a fenced backyard to run, play, and potty. Your dog will never be unsupervised outside, though, since we also love being outside. Pet care is a large part of our daily routine! We will arrange our schedule around your dog, and I work from home, so spending lots of time with your pet is easy. We love caring for your pets inside our home! They are free to lay on all furniture and sleep in all beds if they want to. Your pet will be a loving part of our family while they are here.
