About: I’m reliable, patient, and genuinely love caring for animals. I take time to understand each pet’s personality and needs—whether that’s playtime, quiet companionship, or extra attention. You can count on me to treat your pet like family and keep you updated so you always feel at ease. I take care of my three cats morning and night, feeding them three times a day with fresh water at every meal. This routine has taught me the importance of consistency, attention, and creating a calm environment for pets. I’m experienced in providing loving care, monitoring their needs closely, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable throughout the day. I no longer have my dog, but I am more than comfortable with dogs as well! When caring for pets in your home, I prioritize maintaining their regular routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I follow your instructions carefully, whether it’s feeding schedules, exercise, or medication—and give each pet plenty of attention and affection. I make sure their environment stays clean and safe, and I provide updates so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.
“Isabel is amazing! She was very communicative and loving with our pup! So very thankful that we have someone we can trust to stay in our home with our pup when we’re away! Thank you, Isabel! Can’t wait to have you over again!”
“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!”
About: Animals have always had an extremely special place in my heart. Ever since I was a kid I’ve helped care for my family’s own pets: feeding them, caring for their health, giving baths, taking them outside and on walks, and pretty much anything else having a pet entails. I also am in the process of beginning volunteering with the cats and dogs at Lawrence Humane Society! I am a full-time student, but I am available whenever I am not busy with classes. I also have a few volunteering shifts throughout each week that I need to work around, and a job (that I will be done with next month). I provide them with food and water, clean up their litter, play with them, take the dogs on walks, and show all the animals lots of love! I am also flexible and open to doing whatever I am able to.
“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!”
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 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.

“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!”

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.
“Victoria is amazing to work with. She did a great job of communicating and setting up a time for our first meet and greet. Sky and all of us were immediately at peace knowing she would be well taken care of on our visit. Sky has extra anxiety when we leave the house and Victoria had no issues taking care of all the little details to help her feel secure. We definitely will book with her again!”
“Shannon did a great job. Our pups were well cared for and loved on. Upon meeting them she immediately got on the floor and played with both puppies. She communicated effectively and we would hire her again!”
About: I’ve always had a dog in my home since I was born and have always been a big animal lover! I’ve always had a dog bestfriend in my life and I love making new fur baby friends. I’m a mostly stay at home mom looking to bring in some more income, so hoping to make pet care a part of my routine pretty often! I wish I had the space to bring your fur baby into my own home but sadly I don’t. But, I will treat your fur baby and your home with the love and care as if they were my own!
“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!”

I lost my phone during my trip and could not connect with her - she stayed and checked in on my dogs while we were out of communications - thank you to the for the exceptional service with taking care of my fur babies and thank you for your understanding with me losing my phone!”
About: I have been taking care of my dog and family and friend’s dogs since I was a teenager. Until I am in a position to have my own dog again, I would love to help take care of yours. I’m currently a senior in college as well as a soccer player. I am available in the mornings until 12:30 on weekdays. Weekends may vary. I am available on weeknights after 7:00. I live in a large house with many roommates that also love dogs. There would be a lot of attention and playing with your pup.
About: I have grown up with animals since I was a kid. I had horses, cats, dogs, goats, ponies, cattle, and more in my life since before I could walk. Most recently I had two amazing German shepherds and I loved them dearly. I don't have them anymore, but they gave me a lot of joy and I gave them lots of love. I'm excited to have some animals in my life again! I work full time during the week as a teacher. I am available in the afternoons and evenings to check in on animals and I'm available on the weekends for house sitting or boarding. I can be flexible with visits after work. During the summer my schedule is much more flexible so we can talk it out! I have a safe, comfortable environment at my apartment that is suitable for small and medium sized pets. I have a fenced dog park area for walking and playing. There are no other pets in the home and my children are with me half time, but they are good with animals and love pets. I like to play with pets, but I can also give space to animals that aren't comfortable enough for that yet. I'm also happy to be chill and comfy, as one of my previous dogs was very chill and just liked to cuddle.

“Ryan has a very special love for all animals. Whenever I have joined him checking in on his neighbors pets, he always goes above and beyond. Not only does he do everything for the pet(s) and more, he does that for the household and family as well. For example, puts away dishes, wipes down the counter, and walks dogs even when not expected by his families. Would trust him with my own pets everyday, as I am assured they are getting so much love!”

Our dog has special dietary needs and Case was very conscientious and respectful of this. He is attentive, cautious, and responsible. Case clearly loves dogs and will make a great dog owner one day. Until then, let him love yours!”
