“Christopher took great care of Rosie despite her being anti-social with the other dogs. He gave her personal attention and after a few days I think she was doing better. Christopher provided photos and updates, which were appreciated. I would recommend him and will use him again if I'm ever in town again.”


“My puppy ended up giving her some troubles by going potty in her house. I offered to give her extra for the trouble as I didn’t expect him to do that. When I went to pick him up she said she would love to watch him again and they had fun with him. I will definitely be asking her again to watch my puppy when needed!”


“We boarded our pup Izzy with Angie and her family while were went on a vacation for 11 days. I received pictures and updates throughout the time Izzy stayed with them. She was well cared for and loved everyday. Knowing that our little girl was being taken so well care gave us peace of mind and allowed us to enjoy our time away. I would recommend Angie if you are in need of someone to board your pup.”


About: I have completed countless hours of training and grooming with dogs. I am certified with the American Red Cross to provide if needed Canine CPR. I am able to provide day care and boarding needs to pet parents. I have had countless hours in training on canine behaviors and temperaments. I will provide care for your pet while you are away. I will always treat them as if they are my own. We have a very large fenced yard for your pet to run in while you are away. If its cold outside we do have an area indoors.

About: I have watched my families cats/dog when they have went out of town, go over feed and water them. Play with them. Give them medicine as prescribed. I currently work from home. So I am able to let your fur baby out for a potty break when needed. As mine always lets me know when she needs out. I do have a pet door where the pups can go out to a small fenced yard if they are used to this also. I have a small fenced yard but also a large unfenced yard to run. We are approximately 1/4 mile off the road so no worries with traffic. I am always outside with my animals if they are outside the fenced area as sometimes we like to run and play more. I can keep anyone seperate if needed and crated if needed also.

“I needed someone to watch my Doggies while I was at a Chiefs’ game and Ismaray came through. I have to be careful who I leave my dogs with because they both come from challenging backgrounds and they don’t react well to everyone. I’m always nervous when I leave them with someone on vacation, but I take them with me on a lot of my trips. Not everything I do is dog friendly so that’s when Rover comes in handy. Both of my Pups liked Ismaray from the start, I was surprised to see them so relaxed and comfortable with her. They were both on her lap soon after I dropped them off and she sent me lots of pictures to ease my mind and enjoy The Chiefs’ game. She definitely has a way with Doggies and will be my Dog Sitter any time I’m in St Joseph/Kansas City.”


About: I’ve had a dog as a pet since I was a baby. And the most dogs I’ve taken care of at one time was 4! I work a full time job during the week, so I am currently only taking weekend appointments at the moment, between Friday night to Sunday night. Pets are always in my eyesight. Never left alone outside to potty. They are enclosed in a fenced in yard with a 6 foot privacy fence.
