“Maddie is great! We have hired her for two vacations now, she is reliable for check-ins with my group of kittens and takes photos to let us know they’re doing well. We will definitely be using Maddie again in the future!”

“Alex was so sweet and amazing with our dogs! We were able to book with her last minute and she was super flexible/accommodating. She sent me pictures and updates, and had great communication. We were even able to extend our booking with her which was super helpful. I would definitely book with her again for future dog sits!”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and other pets my whole life and have loved them all so much! I’ve been dog sitting and cat sitting for family and friends since I’ve been able to drive, and I enjoy spending time with animals. I just graduated high school so I have lots of available time, and I love going on walks and runs. I have experience with many different animals with different personalities, so I’ll know how to give all pets some love! I’m on my summer break before college so I have plenty of time to care for your pups and cats! I love going for long walks and runs on trails or around the neighborhood. Before walking or dog sitting a new dog, I like to know a bit about their personalities and how energetic they are. I do require that all animals I care for are friendly with people and other pets, and are not aggressive or territorial over their food or home.

“Responsive and great with my old man dog.”

“We had a very last minute need for someone to help with our dogs. Carly responded to me within minutes! This was our first time using Rover and we will definitely book with Carly again!”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs always in the house, and from a young age, I learned how to care for them by walking, feeding, and playing with them regularly. For the last 2.5 years, my husband and I have had a dog of our own, and we’ve made sure to provide him with plenty of love and exercise, taking him on four walks a day and playing fetch in a near by field. Living in an apartment with a border collie has taught me to understand the importance of consistency, care, and attention, and I’m committed to giving your dog the same high level of love and attention! I am a stay at home mom to my son and I am looking for ways to keep us getting out of the house. As long as my child isn't napping, we are always available to go for walks, and play with dogs in their homes to make sure they are cared for and loved. Dog cuddles are my favorite thing, and making sure pets are taken care of and given the attention that they need is a priority of mine. I am very clean and respectful and careful to abide by any rules that you may have for the care of your furry friend. I offer any length of walks and play time for your pet to make sure both you and your pet are satisfied at the end of the day!

“Christina was amazing! She truly went above and beyond for our fur babies and communication was wonderful. We will absolutely be booking again!”

“Did such a great job and cleaned up after all the muddy days! The dogs and cat were very happy and her pictures were great! Excellent communication especially over the holidays”

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. I've cared for my family dog since we got her as a puppy, helping with her training and taking full responsibility for her care whenever my parents are away. Growing up around animals has given me a natural connection with them and an understanding of the patience, consistency, and attention they need. In addition to my experience with pets, I have over 1,000 hours of patient care experience as a Certified Nursing Assistant and will be starting nursing school this fall. My healthcare background has strengthened my compassion, attentiveness, and ability to provide dependable care. I understand that pets are cherished members of the family, and I will care for yours with the same empathy, responsibility, and dedication that I bring to caring for my patients. I recently graduated from the University of Arkansas with a degree in Public Health and am spending the summer in Kansas City before starting nursing school in August. My schedule is very flexible, with only a few appointments throughout the week, which allows me to be highly available for pet sitting, drop-in visits, walks, and other pet care needs. I would love to help care for your pets whenever you need an extra hand. When caring for pets in a client's home, I strive to maintain their normal routine and provide them with a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment. I am reliable and able to travel to your home to provide the care your pet needs, whether that includes feeding, walks, playtime, medication administration, or companionship. I have strong communication skills and will keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident while you're away. I am highly detail-oriented, follow instructions carefully, and understand that every pet has unique needs. My goal is to care for your beloved pet as if they were a member of my own family.

“Beth is SO great with my babies! She seems to be able to tell when they’re ready to come in! She’s a gem!”

About: What sets me apart is the combination of experience and reliability — I’ve been caring for dogs and cats since I was 10, and I bring the same discipline I use as a college athlete to pet care: showing up on time, sticking to routines, and never cutting corners. I grew up with Rhodesian Ridgebacks, so I’m confident handling larger or higher energy breeds, not just small or easygoing pets. I’m also naturally attentive to small details, like noticing changes in appetite or behavior, which gives owners extra peace of mind. Pets aren’t just a job to me, they’re something I’ve genuinely loved caring for my whole life. I’m currently balancing a part-time nannying job and summer athletic training as a college lacrosse player, but I have plenty of flexibility throughout the day to check in, walk, and play with your pets. I’m available most mornings and evenings, and weekends are wide open for boarding or extended visits. I structure my days around my training blocks, so pet care easily fits in around that schedule. I treat every home and pet with the same care and respect I’d want for my own. I’m attentive to each pet’s routine, whether that means sticking to feeding times, giving medication, or just knowing their favorite spots to relax. In my own home, pets are always supervised and given a safe, comfortable space to settle in. I make sure doors and gates stay secure and keep a close eye on anything that could be a hazard.

“Allison was great, she was easy to get a hold of and was always on time. Allison was great with both my dog and cat and the pets really liked her. She even went the extra mile and changed her schedule so it would work better for us. I would recommend her and look forward to working with her again in the future.”

About: I currently work in a doggy daycare, so pretty much my whole day is spent feeding dogs, administering medications, walking, and monitoring/redirecting interactions! In short, I spend a lot of time with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and care requirements! I have my own kitties and have a ton of experience from caring for them & for different members of my family! I work from 6:30 to 2:30 Tuesday through Friday. I would be able to do morning feeding and walks before work on those days, then additional feedings or walks after. On Saturday, I work 6:30 to 4:00, then I’m back from 7:30 to around 8:00. I could do drop-ins in between those times! Sunday and Monday I am free all day! My current job requires a lot of responsibility since we are walking dogs next to two busy streets, sometimes boarding reactive dogs that require specific walking protocols, feeding dogs with allergies, and administering all sorts of medications to dogs. I know how to pay attention and keep a dog safe, lock up when I’m done, and overall just do my best to maintain the trust between our pet parents! I know what a big deal it is to be trusted with somebody’s pet and I take safety really seriously.

“Hailie was prompt, friendly and communicative and took good care of our bunnies. We appreciate her and would love to work with her again.”

About: I grew up on a working farm with working dogs and have had dogs my entire life. I currently love and manage a pack of 4 dogs in my home. 1 Great Pyrenees, 1 Pyrador, and 2 Komonees pups. They are my world! These are BIG girls. 60-90 pounds. They’re surprisingly agile so small dogs are ok! 100+ pound dogs are welcome. And every dog in between! We love dogs of all shapes and sizes and have hosted pups from 6-130 pounds. I’m experienced triaging in an emergency vet clinic, and can perform basic first aid, medication administration, post-op care, and more! In the past, I co-owned my own reptile and exotic LLC for 5 years, KC Cresties (dissolved due to divorce). So I’m comfortable and experienced caring for your scaly friends, sugar gliders, chinchillas, ferrets, prairie dogs, opossums, or whatever other cool friend(s) you have. Large snakes, monitors, and Iguanas are ok! My family successfully rehabbed 2 baby raccoons that lost their mom and returned them to the wild when it was time. The day they left and never came home was filled with joy and sadness that we were very fortunate to be a part of. We have 2 cats in the house who are friendly with both other cats and dogs. I keep a sturdy metal baby gate up for their space away from the dogs so they have a sanctuary. There’s very few animals I don’t have experience with, and I love them all. Big dogs and working dogs are no problem. Trouble with leash pulling? No problem. Got a hyper jumper? It’s ok, I’ve got a solid foundation. Puppies? No sweat, I have old laminate flooring and we walk every 2-3 hours. Lastly, you can count me as a former HR professional surrounding school aged children based organizations. I left HR to pursue a career with animals and am currently going doing online classes to earn my vet tech degree. Animals have always been my passion. Why choose me? It’s about the experience your beloved family member will have while you’re away. Lots of cuddles and snuggles. Scratchies behind the ears and belly rubs. Plenty of play time with other doggies. Special homemade treats. Daily photo updates. Did someone say treats? All my current classes are online so I’m able to accommodate most schedules for pick up and drop off. I have kids and a husband that help me out when needed. I’ll treat your pets with the same love and respect I treat my own. Pets are a big part of our lives and they are our family. Feeding time is approximately 8am and 6pm (unless otherwise requested). We add scrambled eggs to our morning feeding and homemade dog food to our dinner. Homemade food is AAFCO approved recipes. Every dog has their own food dish and 3 giant water bowls are available from 6am to 8pm. Water is picked up overnight for housebreaking purposes. Treat circles are 2-3 times per day. We work on basics. Sit, lay, paw, etc. Level 2 commands are practiced once per day for those who have mastered level 1. I love a good game of catch the treat! After commands, I always toss a few rounds of treats. I have a well stocked variety of treats, so your pups dietary preferences can be honored. Each dog is walked separately. Belle alerts us when it’s walk time. Every 2-3 hours. Weather permitting, our dogs like to sit and wait on the porch for their turn to walk. It’s a gated 10x20. Please let me know if your dog is an escape artist or a jumper so that I can take proper safety precautions. If your pup does decides they need an additional potty break, that’s no problem either. Our dogs and cats are all current on vaccinations and take heart-worm and flea preventive through our vet’s office. Records can be provided upon request. Cat sitting can be provided on the other half of the house divided by a sturdy metal baby gate. Cats will be provided with toys and separate meal dishes according to your feeding instructions. Litter will be changed daily. Small animals and Exotic care: for most exotics leaving the home is very stressful and recommended care is in your home. However there are exceptions to this rule. We can discuss your unique needs and what is most appropriate for your pets health and well being. Some animals in small habitats don’t mind staying somewhere new as long as they’re safe in their world. Transportable habitats are welcome.

“We’ve used Rachel multiple times now and she’s been absolutely wonderful every time! Bear and Bo love it when she comes over and watches them! Thanks Rachel!”

About: I absolutely love taking care of home pets! You will feel stress-free with me while taking care of your animals until you return home. I believe that animals need more love and care than just being let outside and fed. I have house and pet sat for two summers now, and I really love it! I am home from college, looking to have a simpler job during the summer! I am fully available all week and usually the weekends as well unless I'm on a trip! Very open to anything. I have a fenced yard for my pup at home, which helps them have more fun outside! I could also crate the animal if that is what is needed.

“Thank you so much Tiffany!! Sorry my cats are scaredy cats, but I'll work on that for future visits. Tiffany does great job looking after my kitties. Loved the pictures.”
