“Ira seemed happy and healthy when I got back and Kayla updated me on his progress during my trip. Would have given 5stars but she did leave my spare room messy with food crumbs all over and similarly dirty kitchen counters after pet sitting for me.”
About: I've had all sorts of pets growing up. I do have medical training and can handle difficult situations. I currently have two dogs that are rescues and a cat that was abandoned at one day old that I hand raised. My younger dog has an autoimmune disease so I am well practiced on giving medications. Thank you. I can schedule my own hours at my job so I'm pretty flexible on when I can be available. I am available weekends usually with no problems. I am unable to bring animals to my home due to renting. I am able to house sit or walk dogs only at this time.
About: From wiggly puppies to wise old seniors, I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Whether it’s high-energy zoomies, slow-and-steady strolls, or extra TLC for pups who need a little more love, I’m here for it all. I regularly volunteer at local shelters to walk, play with, and even foster animals who need a boost of love and attention. It’s more than just pet-sitting for me—it’s about building trust, comfort, and connection with every animal I meet (and probably falling in love with them a little, too). You can count on me for reliable care, happy tails, and plenty of cuddles. Let’s make your pet feel right at home—even when you’re not! Stay-at-home mama (former elementary teacher) with flexible hours and a heart full of love for pets. Two of my three kiddos are in school during the day, so I’m available to give your pets all the attention they deserve—whether it’s walks, playtime, or cozy snuggles. I’m experienced with pups of all ages, love volunteering at shelters, and am all about making pets feel safe, happy, and spoiled. Not quite ready to jump back into full-time teaching, but 100% ready to be your pet’s new favorite companion! In my home, I have a large fenced in yard and indoor kennels. I am good at following directions and will make sure your animal has all their basic needs met.
About: I have taken care of pets since I was 9. I have raised several dogs from puppies to senior dogs. I am very well versed in potty training, bathing, and responsible play. For many years I have bathed and walked dogs for my family and friends in addition to taking care of my own. I absolutely love animals and look forward to giving yours all the love and attention it needs! I am a stay at home mom whose kids are all in school now. So that means I have a lot of free time for your pets! I currently have a dog who does not like other dogs, so staying at my house is unfortunately not an option. I do however love getting to visit other pets and thoroughly enjoy taking long walks with them or having a play session with them.
About: I worked as a veterinary technician for 6 years before becoming a stay at home mom. Other than my kids, my passion is animals! I am proficient in animal handling, care, and medication management. Your fur baby will be happy, well cared for, and safe with me! I am currently a stay at home mom of 3 littles. We are huge animal lovers! I am dedicated to taking care of everyone’s needs. So you tell me what the baby needs and I will be sure to be there for them. We do not have any weekly engagements that last more than 1 hour, so your fur baby will never be alone. I have a 2 acre property, un fenced. So your pet will have plenty of space to run and play. I also live two blocks away from a local park so walks are a definite fun bonus. I allow animals on furniture and beds. If that is what they are used to. Additionaly I have an extra crate in our home in case your baby needs to be crate trained.
About: Have you ever met someone who just seems to attract animals? Well, that’s me. I was raised around dogs, including breeding Cocker Spaniels and German Shepherds, junior handling a Weimaraner and training for obedience and for service dogs. These days I’m a dedicated cat mama with a crazy Corgi who thinks she's a cat! I've recently had to give up transporting furry friends all over the country and since I'll be home for the foreseeable future, I'm available to take care of the local fur babies. I can't board dogs in my home but cats are welcome. In fact, they'll have their own room, complete with a cat tree by the window so they can bask in the morning son and watch the dog run in her little yard. I can house sit and keep your furry children company or just drop>n and visit a couple times a day. If your dog needs a playmate while you're away I know a Corgi who is always willing. I was on the road for most of the month but I had to give that up - at least for now. I'm not working on anything else so I have plenty of time to play with your babies while you're away. I have a young Corgi and an older cat, both fixed and friendly. Right now I have an extra bedroom setup for the cat and I keep the Corgi contained with a baby gate. Cats boarded in my home will be in the bedroom at all times and my cat will just have to take his naps in the living room. Unless you give me permission for me to bring my dog to your house to play, she's not invited.
About: I come from a household with a love for pets. Combined, my family has 2 dogs and 5 cats. With that comes a lot of experience and love for animals! I just recently moved to the area to start medical school. I have lots of daytime and weekday flexibility as I will be doing most of my school work from home. In my clients homes I treat the animals just as I would my own. With love and care, making sure that they are always well cared for!
About: i have many years of both professional and volunteer experience working with animals. I work with cats and dogs of all sizes and ages at my day job with Haven of the Ozarks. During my nearly four years with Lawrence Pet Friends, I got to walk dogs and provide in-home care for dogs, cats, birds, rodents, and reptiles, plus one emperor scorpion named Fluffy. I also spent a summer working with brood mares and their foals at the Kansas Center for Equine Breeding. In my personal life, I have also kept aquatic animals and rats. My experience has included neonatal kittens and puppies, as well as disabled animals. I am comfortable working with blind and deaf animals, seizure-risk animals, and animals with incontinence and mobility issues. I am comfortable giving oral medication and bottle feeding. I am also willing to meet and learn about any kind of pet you may have. Whether I’m there to let your dog out to potty and play a quick game of tug-of-war, or to work with them on leash walking, or to hang out with an anxious kitty while you’re on vacation, I promise to love your animals just as you would! I currently work five days a week at the Haven, from 8:30 AM to 4 PM, with varying levels of flexibility therein. I also have obligations every other Tuesday evening. However, with enough notice, we can absolutely work out a plan for you and your pet! At this time, I am only providing in-home care. My cats would hate me if I brought a dog home! For vacation cat clients, I can do a one-or-two visit per day arrangement for feeding and litter scooping and love. Or if your pet is most comfortable with someone in the house, I can stay with them overnight. For daytime doggie clients, I can visit up to four times a day depending on schedule and distance, providing a walk and potty run at 7 am, noon, 4:30pm, and 9pm.
About: I have loved animals my whole life. I have 3 dogs I’ve raised since they were puppies and they’re currently 10 11 and 12! I also have my cat and have had to help him through a lot of medical issues. I currently work park time mostly on weekend so I’m available to walk your dog or care for your furry friends during the week mornings to afternoons I only had one cat so I don’t need a lot of space. I live in an apartment so I don’t need a lot of room and I only am looking to do dog walking but could watch a pet if needed!
About: I’ve always loved animals! Friends and Family would reach out to me to watch their fur babies and I was more than happy to be their Fur Mama. I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time in the mornings to walk check in and play with your Fur Babies before I go in at 2. I am willing to accommodate whatever the Fur Parents needs and wants are. I have 2 cats that are indoors and monitor them. My fur babies are spoiled. They get treats and toys galore.
About: I have had pets all my life and can’t imagine life without them. I’m one of those people who sees a dog and gets excited. My own 4 dogs and 1 cat are my world. I have experience with dogs who have seizures, dogs who have liver shunt disorders and dogs with anxiety issues. I know how hard it is to find a sitter when I have to go out of town. I would love to give pet owners the peace of mind they need to enjoy their time away. Because I teach during the school year I am only available to care in your home on evenings and weekends. I can do twice daily visits on weekends. During the summer, I will be able to schedule twice daily visits throughout the week. As a teacher, I have the summers off to be able to do twice daily visits. During the school year, I can do evening visits and twice daily visits on Saturday and Sundays. I would love to care for pets in their own environments. I would take the time to soend with them making sure they are loved and cared for as if they were my own.
“Ivan has a calm gentle energy that is good for cats. My cat loved him instantly. He is courteous, professional, punctual, and went above and beyond while catsitting. You can tell he is a natural animal person. I also appreciated being sent cute pictures of snuggle time. Will hire again and definitely recommend Ivan as a sitter for your furbabies.”

Cheryl L.
“Hi I'm Brennan S. Cheryl is a co-worker and our pet-sitter confidant. She has been watching our animals for the past 4 years for when we go on vacation or have an emergency. My wife is a certified cat breeder (Maine coons) so we don't just let anyone watch our animals because if anything were to happen, we would be out a lot of money. The main thing that we love about Cheryl is how attentive she is with her care. She just doesn't show up to feed and water them. She sticks around and takes time to play with them and attends to all of their needs. I recall one time, we had just had a litter 2 weeks before vacation. While she was taking care of them she noticed that the momma cat wasn't allowing the babies to feed for very long. So Cheryl went to the store and got formula and individually fed the 5 baby kittens. We strongly recommend her to anyone that is in need a caregiver for their fur babies. You will not be disappointed!”
Mica M.
“Mica began her great care of pets with her first adopted puppy while in college. She loved and cared for him after he was abandoned and sick. We kept that puppy that turned into our first family dog for almost a decade more, along with adopting another puppy prior to our engagement. Those 2 were amazing family dogs to our little kids until their time was up. She frequently wants to visit the Humane Society to interact/walk dogs that are in kennels most of the day. She cares for pets like one of her own kids and spoils them rotten. Along with caring, we're now on our 3rd family puppy and they have all been trained at home to be amazing family pets!”
