“Masie was a lifesaver for me! We had just gotten an 8 week old basset hound pup and I was in the process of changing my work schedule to a few hours a day but needed to get through the existing work week and needed a drop in sitter to potty our pup and play with him. She was responsive, professional, communicative and loving to our fur baby. We will be using Masie again!”


“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”


“Great communicator and always on time. Katherine took well care of our two mini Schnauzers during a long weekend while we were out of town. We highly reccomend her to anyone.”


“We have used Jessi twice, both pretty much last minute notice. She has been amazing. We have a herd (4 dogs, 2 cats) and each have been shown attention and well taken care of. I also love the pictures and report cards. Will definitely use her again.”


“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!”


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.

“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.”


“Kelsey is amazing with communication! My husband and I went out of town and she took care of our 3 dogs. She sent pictures and updates of the pups daily. If we ever need a dog sitter again we will book with Kelsey again!”


“Katrina did a phenomenal job taking care of my senior cat! The home was just as clean as when we left and our cat was well fed and content. She sent detailed report cards with adorable photos that kept us in the loop. I will absolutely request her services again!”


About: I have owned dogs practically my entire life. I believe dogs are some of the best friends someone could ask for! I have taken care of dogs ranging from puppy age all the way to senior dogs. I currently attend Kansas State University pursuing a degree in Architecture. I am picking up this side hustle to hopefully ease the pain of missing my dogs at home! I believe the animal should always be put first and have whatever they need. Enrichment, play time, walks, are all vital to your animals health and I am here to help with that. I will give you and your animal whatever you need to thrive!

“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!

“Elizabeth took great care of our Penny while we were away for the weekend. She was fantastic at using the app to send pics and provide details of what all Penny did at each drop in visit. She was on time for each drop in and loved on our sweet pup. Elizabeth really was helpful, patient, and kind. I’m grateful she was available on short notice, and I will use her again!! Highly recommend!”


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.

“My dogs absolutely adore her 💜 special thank you from Ziva & Kenai your fave huskies 🤍 she is super kind and saved me in a last minute rush and Kenai which is my loud and everyone is scared of he loves her. Thank you”


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.

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:

“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!”

Irene U.
“Irene is a true advocate for animals. She has always had pets and treats them with the greatest care and love. She has kindly taken care of my dog several times while I was away on trips, even staying at my house for a few days to look after her. I’ve always felt 100% confident and relaxed knowing my dog was with Irene, not only because of the kindness and warmth she shows her, but also because she is a veterinarian. That gives me peace of mind, knowing that if any health issue were to arise, my dog would be in the best hands and Irene would know exactly what to do. On top of that, my dog absolutely adores her. She gets so excited every time Irene comes over, which reassures me even more that she is happy and well cared for. I would wholeheartedly recommend Irene to anyone looking for a loving, responsible, and passionate caregiver for their pets.”
