House Sitting in Paola

“Shelby is a very nice and responsible person. Archer was well taken care of and the pictures were very nice to see he was doing well. She also left the house spotless and watered our herbs. We already booked our next visit with her and we highly recommend her to take care of your pets and home.”

“Susan did a great job with our two boys. She gave us multiple updates each day and lots of pictures. We hope she is available for our next trip!”

“Leslie did an outstanding job in communicating with us throughout the week. Her stay coincided with a severe winter storm and heavy snowfall. She shoveled the sidewalk and driveway repeatedly. Will definitely use her again!”

Patty N.

“Kali was great! She focused on the dogs and gave them lots of attention during her stay. She recorded feeding times and times when Kali administered our cat his insulin shots. She was respectful to our home and washed bedding, cleaned floors, bathroom and did her own dishes. Thank you again, Kali!”

“Colleen was fantastic! Our dogs loved her and were very well cared for.”

Jim B.

“Ashlend was awesome! I found her very last minute due to some last minute plans. Even though she already had other dogs she was taking care of she made it work. She made sure to come meet everyone ahead of time and sent sweet pictures. When we got home it was like we never left because I think everyone was so comfortable with Ashlend here. Highly recommend!”

“Lori was so sweet with our pups. Our Boxer is nervous with people but Lori was patient and let him get to know her at his own pace. She sent us update photos and left our home in immaculate condition. She contacted us to make sure we made it home on time just in case she needed to come back and let them out again. I would recommend her services to anyone!”

About: My name is Leala (pronounced like Layla)! I grew up around dogs that are lots of different breeds and sizes. From Chihuahuas to German Shepherd. I’m passionate about providing safe, fun, and fulfilling walks that keep dogs happy and healthy. And, of course, making sure your pup gets all their built-up energy out! I can’t wait to meet your furry friend and make sure they get the best walk every time! Ps. I can also care for cats and rabbits! :) I am available any time on the weekends to do walks, drop ins, or pet-sitting! I do work during the week until 2 pm. I am open to doing walks or drop ins at any time after 2 pm on weekdays. I'm also available to pet-sit if the pet is allowed to be left alone 8 am - 2 pm Monday thru Friday. Other than that I would stay with your pets the rest of the time if thats what you request! I ensure that your pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while in my care. I follow any specific instructions given by the pet owner regarding feeding, medications, and routines. I ensure their environment remains clean and tidy, provide companionship, engage in playtime, and give them plenty of attention. If it's a dog, I also make sure they get their daily walks and exercise! I will also send regular updates and pictures to keep owners informed and reassured that their pets are well cared for.

About: Hello! I am an avid animal lover. I got my first pet when I was 3 years old. It was a kitten named Nicky. He taught me a lot of responsibility and showed me a lot of love. A few years later my my mom added several dogs to the family - miniature Schnauzers, Standard Schnauzer, and a Beagle mix Having these animals in my life has given me great experience and also taught me unconditional love. My previous dog helped me get through the rough days when I lost my mom to cancer. I have learned to care for seniors, animals requiring medication (orally) and how to work with young animals especially puppies. In your employ my top priority will be your pets happiness. Working for you is my only employment and my focus will be on your dog or cat only. They will get my undivided attention and I hope to spoil them like crazy. Since I have dealt with several puppies I can even try to bring some training tips to your dog if needed. Personally, I do still have my pup Julius but he lives with family out in the country loving his best life in open fields He is 12 now, He is my furry angel in he was my little protector. It is so true that not all angels have wings. I would have kept him but I could not afford all of the vet bills when you take care of a pet properly, luckily I have a family member I love so much that was able to provide that. I love spoiling dogs of course with the doggy parental guidelines, this includes specific food regiments and pills. I hope that I will get to meet you and your fur babies soon! I have a very go with the flow attitude except when it comes to animals and people I care about. So they will be number one! In my home I create a safe environment. I'm very aware of other animals around to keep your dogs safety number one priority. Unfortunately in this world people at their dogs off leash and that can be a problem. I have no problem following any regimented food or medication delivered to the animals. Also if I'm in a client's home I would treat it with respect and basically make it look like nothing has changed except your dog has gotten top-notch care. If there's anything specific in the requiring overnight boarding I am more than happy to oblige with that.

About: Hi there! I’m a high school physical educator with a passion for staying active and healthy.

Whether it’s a fun walk, playtime, or just cuddling up, I’m here to ensure your pet is well taken care of and enjoys their time with me. Let’s give your pets the love and attention they deserve! I just recently lost my sweet boy, who was very elderly. I took care of him daily to clean his ears, help him up and down stairs, as well as helping him eat. I have a very wide experience of taking care of pups! I currently working full-time as a physical educator, as well as a volleyball coach. I am available evenings and weekends all day! If I board your pups, I live right by my work place which allows me to stop in and let them out through out the day and give them attention! With a genuine love for animals and a deep understanding of their unique needs, I offer personalized pet care services both in your home and in mine. Whether it's a walk, playtime, feeding, or just some extra TLC, I strive to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved in every environment. In your home, I maintain your pet's daily routine, ensuring they feel secure and at ease. I provide familiar surroundings and consistent care, reducing the stress of your absence.

I offer plenty of attention, exercise, and love, making sure they feel right at home in a safe, cozy space.

About: I’ve had at least one dog in the house as long as I can remember. I’ve helped care for special needs dogs and laid back dogs by walking, bathing, and administering medications. As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to find a perfect sitter for your furry family, so reach out if you think i’d be a good fit for you! As a college student at ku I am in several classes. Mondays and Wednesday’s are my busy days but i’m usually done by 5. Tuesdays, Thursday’s, Fridays, and weekends are mostly free! I will not be able to care for any pets in my home as I am currently staying in a dorm on the college campus.

“Maiya was absolutely wonderful with our sassy little bengal cat! We booked her for house-sitting and felt completely at ease while we were away. She was responsible, trustworthy, and attentive—not only did she take excellent care of our cat, but she also looked after our home with great care. We truly appreciated her and wouldn’t hesitate to book her again!”

“Hannah was great with our 4 dogs and we will continue to use her! We love that she stayed at our home with them and we didn’t have to take them anywhere!”

About: I’m just an army soldier very passionate about animals and taking care of them. I have taken animal health science classes and volunteered at Wayside Waifs a no kill animal shelter. I’m going to college to become an small animal veterinarian. I have worked with dogs of all sizes and breeds. I have taken animal behavior classes and have worked with dogs that are more difficult, but we’re just misunderstood. They just needed that extra love and attention. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

About: I’ve dog sat for all sizes of dogs since I was 16! You can rely on me to walk, feed, bathe, and play with your pup! I am fairly new to Rover, but have completed over 100 services on Wag! with all 5 star reviews! I just graduated from Boston College and love taking care of pups and cats! I am most available in the mornings and evenings during the week and throughout the day on the weekends! You can trust me to take great care of your pup wether that be in drop in visits, overnight sitting, or a walk! I am very responsible and follow instructions to a T!

About: I’ve known I would work with animals my whole life. I started dog sitting as a young teen and have continued to care for pets throughout my life. I’ve also spent over six years working in grooming shops, gaining hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. My animal experience goes far beyond dogs — I’ve spent time around cats, horses, small barn animals, reptiles, fish, and more. I personally own a high-energy husky, and in the past, I’ve owned fish, a leopard gecko, and even ducks — so I’m comfortable with a wide range of care routines and species! I also have specific experience working with fearful and reactive dogs. I understand the patience and awareness it takes to help them feel safe and supported. I always move at the animal’s pace, using calm energy and positive reinforcement to build trust. While house sitting, I’m happy to attempt basic grooming tasks like nail trims or possibly haircuts, depending on the pet’s comfort level. My grooming background gives me the skills to approach these tasks gently and safely. I offer drop-ins, walks, and overnight stays in your home (I’m not able to host pets at mine). While I do work during the day, I make sure every pet gets plenty of love, attention, and care when I’m there. If you’re looking for someone dependable, experienced, and genuinely passionate about animals — I’d love to connect and meet your crew! I currently work as a groomer’s assistant in the mornings and typically finish by 5 p.m., which gives me early mornings and plenty of time in the afternoons and evenings to care for your pets I am unable to care for your pet at my home, but am happy to come to yours! As noted before, I have lots of experience caring for both cats and dogs, and know how to keep them safe. If you do not have a fenced in yard, I will be sure to let your dog out on a leash.

About: I've had pets my whole life, large and small dogs, and cats. I also have 100+ hrs walking dogs at the local shelter. Making sure they're happy and well taken care of genuinely makes me happy. I do have a full time job at a daycare center, but I'm free after 3pm on weekdays and any time on weekends. I can do overnights at my house any day of the week. I have a large field behind my house, my yard is not fenced. I always have my dog on a leash when outside and do not kennel her when I'm gone. I do have a kennel if it's needed.

“Ben was great! He was very easy to communicate with and I appreciated that he was available to come to our house and meet us and our dog on such short notice. While we were away, Ben did a great job giving me updates and letting me know when he was departing on his final day. He left our house exactly like he found it, actually a little better since he took out the trash and watered flowers too! Ben was super great to work with and I will happily use him again!”

“Kristina stayed at our house while we were away for our wedding and honeymoon. She did a great job and kept our minds at ease. We had no worries that our doodles would be safe while we were gone. I'd highly recommend Kristina.”

“My husband and I needed to go out of town for my father in laws celebration of life so we needed someone trustworthy and that had experience to house sit and take care of our fur babies! Brenna was a dream to work with! She was very communicative and with our chihuahua being a finicky eater, she took my suggestions and got him to eat! Even the cats that hide from everyone else, loves Brenna. She was even able to keep our plants alive too 😊 we have multiple cats & dogs and daily tasks for her to complete and she did wonderful. Having her at the house, took a ton of pressure off of us so we could be with family and be present with the things we needed to accomplish. Highly recommend Brenna to be apart of your family as well!”
