Dog Sitting in Raytown

About: We have had pets all of our life. From dogs to cats, bunnies, hamsters, and mice! We love going on walks, playing in the house or snuggling up on the couch. Special diets are no problem. I have taken care of geriatric pets and tummy sensitive pets before. I work 3 days a week. Katie is home all the time and is able to tend to your baby all day so your fur baby won't be lonely! We have a fenced in back yard and a cozy living room with plenty of dog beds to go around. I live right by a park with a walking trail for potty breaks. We do have 4 dogs and 3 cats of our own that are very friendly and love to play.

About: I've worked in the field of caring for others for a long time..babies, children and/ or adults with special needs, elderly, dogs, cats, you name it! I have fostered several dogs and even a cat! I have had cats in the past. I have owned and helped care for friends and families’ dogs, cats, lizards, snakes, guinea pigs, etc. I'll be devoted to providing the best care and fun for your fur-babies as I can! I'm reliable and responsible and I love animals. I have 2 dogs and I have consistently been a hand in helping friends and family with their animals in a pinch because I love spending time with animals. I have a big heart and I love to have fun and play sessions with almost all animals. I'm very attentive of dogs' needs and care for their happiness a great deal. I love give them hugs and kisses (if they allow it)..I promise to follow all instructions as best as I can and give the best care to every animal I meet! My full time schedule is 9am to 6pm. I do house sitting, which means I will stay with your pets at night. I also do drop in visits and dog walking so my schedule books up quick, but that’s the way I like it! I also have 2 dogs that I make sure to see every day as well, and my Great Dane goes to training classes for obedience (now) and later will go for therapy. I don’t live alone so they have someone else to help me care for them so that I can Rover as much as possible :) I am flexible when caring for dogs in your home and can meet you where you’re at. I 100% know that every dog is different just like every person is different. I celebrate difference and strive to help where I can. I work with integrity and, of course, respect.

“Sanaa was on time and very responsive. Will def book again.”

“Ron took great care of our dogs over a five day period during a busy holiday season. His drop-in visits occurred in the schedule we had requested, and he managed the daily walks we had asked for in addition to the regular feeding, watering, and backyard visits. With all the real-time notices of his visits, and we were able to relax and enjoy our trip. Great experience!”

Becky S.

“Alexandra was able to drop in on a somewhat short notice. This was her first visit and the pups seemed to feel comfortable. Will use her again in the near future.”

Tina S.

“Shannon always takes excellent care of my cats. She is so thoughtful. She makes sure to collect my mail and she leaves the place sparkling clean, which in my opinion is above and beyond. Thanks so much for taking the very best care of my boys!”

About: I’ve had dogs since I was young. As well as taking care of many of my neighbors/ relatives animals. I have also taken care of dogs and cats young and old and I am volunteering at KC Pet Project. I’m currently a college student home for the summer and will have a part time job. I would be excited to take care of your pets in between! I feed, bathe, brush, and exercise my own dog and have since I was young. For the neighbors pets I have cleaned up and ensured they had the proper amount of food and water and giving them enrichment.

“Autumn has watched our dog over a long weekend at her home and dropped in to let our dog out while we were out of town for the day. She always sends us pictures and keeps us updated on how she’s doing. She does a great job!”

About: I have grown up always having dogs in my house. When I left for college, it only felt right to get a dog of my own. I have always been the dog sitter for my friends, and former teammates. I have experience of giving medicine and cooking up some food for our lovely pups. I am a very active person, I love long walks, but also enjoy a relaxing day with some extra pets/scratches. I have my Fridays and weekends off. I am able to board for the weekend starting Thursday night. I am typically home all day during the weekend. The maximum I am out of the house is about three hours for my workout and church. During the week I can do drop ins or walks between 6am-8:30am or 6pm and after. I live in a two-story townhome with a basement. I have a dog of my own, who is friendly. I have a long leash line in the back to allow the dogs to be outside. I also live across from the dog park. I currently live with my sister and her boyfriend as well, so somebody will usually always be home.

About: Hi, I'm the person your pet has been waiting for! I've had fur babies in my family my whole life, so I'm fluent in barks, meows, zoomies, and the very specific 3am guinea pig squeaking situation. Currently mom to a rescued German Shepherd mix who thinks he runs the house (he does), a bonded pair of cats who tolerate him, and a rescued guinea pig who is, frankly, the most dramatic member of the family. I have volunteered with KC Pet Project because animals don't just deserve survival, they deserve champions, and completed their dog and cat care training. Whether your pup needs a solid walk, your kitty needs lap time and laser pointer therapy, I've got you covered with love, patience, and an endless supply of baby talk. Your pet's comfort and safety is my whole thing. Drop-ins, walks, sit-ins. Let's make your time away the least stressful it's ever been. My schedule is genuinely flexible! I work part-time virtually running a nonprofit, so I'm not tied to a rigid daily routine. That means I can pop in as often as your pet needs throughout the day and into the evening, whether that's letting them out, refreshing food and water, or just hanging out for some ear scratches and couch time. And if your dog or cats do better with a consistent companion rather than drop-ins, I'm absolutely able to stay with them. Whatever keeps your pet happiest and most comfortable, we can make it work! Keeping the Peace (and the Pets Inside) Door safety is something I'm almost comically careful about. Before I open any exterior door, I make sure your pet is accounted for and not in a position to bolt. Cats especially have Olympic-level door-darting skills and I have a deep respect for that talent, which is exactly why I won't give them the chance to use it. I also do a quick walk-through each visit to make sure nothing is accessible that shouldn't be, food left out, cabinet doors open, small items on the floor, anything that could turn into a hazard gets addressed. And when I leave, your home gets fully secured, every single time, no exceptions. Out on Walks Every walk starts with a leash check, making sure everything is properly fitted and securely attached before we hit the sidewalk. Once we're out, I stay tuned in to what's around us. If another dog comes into view and is showing signs of reactivity or just seems like a potentially stressful interaction for your pup, I'll proactively move us away and give everyone space. I won't wait to see how it plays out. A calm, uneventful walk is always the goal.

“Katie did a fantastic job and was able to meet and interact with our most skittish cat within her first visit! Will definitely be rebooking when the time comes for our next weekend away!”

Art S.

“Lucas was great! Our shy pup offered a small kiss right away. We got wonderful updates and pictures with each visit and he was always on time. We will be using Lucas again, for sure.”

Melody S.

“Rachel did a fantastic job taking care of my 2 cats. She did exactly what I had left for instructions for her. Highly recommend!! :)”

Angela V.

“Emelia did a fantastic job watching our fur babies. She was very kind and took pictures to ease our minds, while we were on vacation. Could not have asked for a better person to watch them. Thanks again!”

Kristine B.

“Vanessa was wonderful with our 2 frenchies! She sent updates on their bathroom schedule and photos and even cleaned up our puppy's crate and play area! She was very reliable, respectful and responsible!”

Karishma B.

“Kody took care of my two pugs for almost a month and he goes beyond what I ask him to do, he walks them late night and played with them after, he is also very easy to talk to, willing to do stuff that is not part of the job. Definitely someone I will be calling again the next time I will go out of town. Thank you very much”

Ryand Jake P.

“Maddy is a great sitter! She is quick to respond to messages and makes sure to provide you plenty of detail in her updates while you’re away. She was also really flexible about coordinating our meet & greet as well as our key exchange when I got back into town. Very grateful for Maddy and her service! Definitely recommend!”

Laura B.

“Can’t say enough amazing things! Madeline is the best and my heart is so happy to have someone so wonderful check on my gals while traveling!”

Keleigh K.

“I can’t say enough good things about Kat. She’s been so great with my dog Stella. I Went from working from home five days a week, to back in the office three days, and was really worried about finding someone to drop in on Stella. Kat has been everything I could’ve hope for. I highly recommend her.”

About: My husband, Noah, and I love animals of all shapes and sizes. We work together to give your pet the attention, care, and love that they deserve. We are avid walkers and love to play, so we can’t wait to walk and play with your pet. My goal is a happy, healthy, and safe pet all while having fun and spending quality time together. We are happy to take dogs for hikes and extra long walks. Just send me a message! I work Monday through Friday from 8am until 4pm. I am available for drop ins and walks before and after work and anytime on weekends. My husband Noah has a more flexible schedule. I take care of client’s home as if it were my home. It is important for me to feel at home and safe, so that in turn the dog(s) feel more at home and safe with me.
