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.

“Kayla was professional, prompt, and courteous. She stayed in our home four nights taking care of our 10 week old Lab puppy. Not an easy assignment. Kayla followed his busy schedule and took amazing care of him. We would be thrilled to use her again!”

About: I have loved dogs since childhood and over the last 11 years I have fostered and adopted senior dogs to give them a forever home. I’m currently home full-time, so your dog will have my full attention, company, and care around the clock. Whether it’s belly rubs, gentle walks, or just relaxing together, I make sure each dog feels at home. I have a secure, pet-friendly home with plenty of space and a calm environment—perfect for seniors, anxious pups, or dogs that just need some extra TLC. I have a big fenced yard with a doggy door so they can come and go as they please. I just lost my senior boxer, Taylor, so it’s just me and my big rescue, Hank, a hound mix. I’ve cared for countless dogs in this home, including special need seniors.

“Shawna did a great job watching my two Westies. I could tell she is an animal lover by the way my boys immediately accepted her. She sent photos while I was at work, and kept good conversation with me. It wasn't easy leaving my boys with a total stranger, but the photos and texts put me at ease knowing my fur babies were well taken care of. Thank you Shawna!”


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: 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.

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.

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!”
