“Masie was fantastic!! She came and checked on our kitty while we were away, and made sure everything was going good and that kitty was taken care of. She spent time playing with her also, which was so nice! If I could give her more than 5 stars, I would. Highly recommend!”
“Krista came over to meet HiShawn before our trip. It took a minute but he did warm up to her. When she started to leave he started whining. He’s never done that before. Krista and HiShawn got along splendidly! Thank you, Keista”

Her communication was exceptional and gave us peace of mind. Her service was above and beyond any expectations we had. 100% recommend Kailey!”
“Kat was AMAZING with my two cats! I had a sitter on here that moved away and Kat made me immediately comfortable with the change of a new sitter. My cats also loved her! She went above and beyond! She even cleaned some of my dishes for me and kept my home in better shape than when I left. I will be using Kat again🥰”
“Fantastic dog sitter! Knowledgeable and very responsive. Handles my VERY excitable dogs easily. Asked questions I hadn't even thought of, which goes to show her professionalism. Will definitely rebook her in the future.”

About: I have loved and enjoyed taking care of animals since I was a little girl, that’s why I decided to become a vet! Yes, I’m an experienced veterinarian who is completing a year of training at K-State💜 and I’m thrilled to offer my expertise in animal care in the Little Apple 🍎 I’ll be more than happy to provide company and the best care to your furry babies, so they feel loved, safe and happy while you’re away. Besides my professional experience, many friends and family members trust me with the care of their pets because they know that to me, this is not just a job, it’s a lifestyle 💖 I also have my own dear babies who I take care of everyday, can you ask for anything more in a pet sitter? I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to provide pet sitting support short-notice. Some weeks I work from home so that leaves me plenty of time to go walk, see and keep company to your dog/cat whenever, from the comfort of their own home! We can work with your schedule too and I’ll be happy to adjust according to your and your pets needs. I live with my 2 senior dogs, they’re both rescued and lovely to humans but one of them can be reactive to other animals, that’s why I only offer pet sitting services in your own home. Safety is a top priority for me. I have experience handling all sizes of dogs and cats. I can walk 2-3 dogs at a time and can take care of multiple animals at a time because that’s what I do everyday and I’m so happy and grateful for that. I have experience feeding, administering medications, and of course, even cleaning after pets. I love to take them on walks, play with them, just make them feel loved, safe and happy.
“Madeline took great care of our 2 cats while we were away. She responded quickly and was very friendly and eager to get to know them. We received detailed reports and photos at each of her check-ins, including of our shy girl who usually takes quite awhile to feel safe enough to come out of hiding with someone new. Maddy was caring. thorough and reliable. She clearly loves cats and we would definitely feel confident leaving ours in her care in the future!”
“My dog absolutely loves Emma. I had no worries at all while leaving him in her care. It seems like he had the best time with her while we were away and she sent us so many great pictures of him! We will be hiring her again for any other vacation we go on. It is so nice to have someone we trust in the neighborhood!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every age size and breed since I was 20. I grew up around dogs and throughly enjoy and care for each and everyone of them like they are my own family! As they are yours and deserve to be treated with as much respect and care when you’re outside the home! I do have my own pup who is very friendly and loves to play we come as a pair who will love to play with your animals! I work full time and do pet sitting/ walking part time! I’m willing to do drop in visits or staying in home to help the dog/cat acclimate to you being gone! Staying in home I will play with the animal dog or cat and take them outside for potty breaks (dog) sand will clean the litter box daily (cat). I understand each animal has their on personality so I would prefer to meet the animal prior to sitting so that we may get used to each other! I’ve watched and cared for many pets in the manhattan junction city area for years and would love to give your pet the love and care needed when you’re away!
About: Hello. I understand needing someone to sit your fur baby and wanting them well taken care of. I feel the same about my puppy (who isn’t really a puppy anymore but 12 years old) and my cat Loki. I would love to help take care of your fur baby in times of need. This is my first time on rover but I have cat and dog sat for my family and I love animals. I would love the opportunity to help take care of your fur children. I can board or day care for up to 3 cats at a time who will each have their own space and I can board or doggy day care for 1 dog as long as they get along with my dog. I am currently a stay at home mom of a 10 month old baby and I would like to contribute more and what better way then to do something you already love. I have a friendly dog to keep your dog company. Also my doggie grew up with cats so is friendly around cats. I have a fenced in yard. I also have a few dog crates if needed. I have experience giving my dog and cats medications . I also have experience with treating dog wounds. I keep my pets up to date with vaccines and vet visits.
“Samantha was so good with Cosmo and made sure she felt safe and well cared for, and usually shy girl opened up and posed for pictures while we were gone, which was a much appreciated touch! Thanks again!!”
About: A lifetime of having and caring for family cats and dogs of all temperaments. Have cared for pets of friends and family and have facilitated puppy play dates with my family’s own new puppy! I value quality pet care and an adapted approach to working with your pet’s unique needs, whatever they may be. As an online Master’s student, I have self-directed free time to spend learning about your pet’s personality and attending to their needs! My schedule is sometimes dictated by my children’s school schedule (bus drop off). I have a little one at home (7 month old, Julian), who may occasionally join on walks (a cushy stroller ride) or visits, if pre-approved. I live in a spacious home with a fenced in back yard where our own friendly pup and two cats love to roam. Meet-and-greets are always welcome to ensure a perfect match! Feel free to follow my own pups life journey to see a glimps into our family quality care:
“This was our second time using Joe and Danielle, and they went above and beyond for Mr. Weatherby, who tends to be shy. I absolutely love that they were concerned enough to ask for suggestions about getting him engaged. We’ve recently moved to the area, and I had no crinkle toys (his fave) so they brought some over! They were able to coax Weatherby out and love on him. I can’t say enough, how amazing Danielle and Joe have been with my kitties.”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my six years of dedicated, hands-on experience caring for animals around the clock. I grew up with two dogs and a cat, caring for them through all stages of life—including senior care and end-of-life comfort. I also have experience working with rescues my family adopted, which taught me patience and adaptability with animals of different backgrounds and temperaments. I’m confident working with puppies, senior pets, and those needing special attention, and I truly love and treat every animal as if they were my own. I currently have an open schedule, which allows me to be very flexible and fully dedicate time to pet care. I’m able to plan my days around the needs of the pets I’m caring for, making sure I’m available for feeding times, walks, play, and any special routines or requests. When caring for pets, I prioritize their safety, comfort, and routine. I follow all owner instructions for feeding, medication, and exercise, ensuring fresh water and a clean environment. Whether supervising play, going for walks, or offering companionship, I aim to reduce stress and make pets feel secure and well cared for in any setting.
“She has great communication, she was constantly sending pictures and she even let me know of a leak that happened in my apartment! I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
