Top rated River Market house sitters
“Lulu was amazing! She gave us daily updates and pics of our animals and took excellent care of them. I felt very good about leaving them in her care. She will 100% be our first choice next time we need pet care!”
“Taryn was great with our animals and very responsive with us while we were away. Can’t compliment her enough and appreciate with the quality of her work.”
“Erin was so excellent with our two doodles! She sent us plenty of updates to give us peace of mind, and although we did not ask her to clean, I’m pretty sure she did. Our home did not look like somebody had been here dog sitting/house sitting while we were gone. We will definitely check to see if Erin is available again if we need future dog care. 10/10 highly recommend!”
“I am very happy with the care Gabriella took of my dogs. I came home to 2 well adjusted dogs, after the initial welcoming excitement and licks, they calmed right down. The house was in order. Absolutely no complaints. I'll definitely rebook with Gabriella next the need arises.”
“Ava did such a great job! My pets were very well taken care of and given lots of snuggles! My pup liked her so much she tried to keep her there by stealing her shoe! (No shoes were harmed in the making of the visit!) Highly recommend Ava!!”
“Kellie Ann was so attentive to our babies. We have an almost 17 year old and a 1 1/2 year old. I was reluctant to leave my old boy. But she did great with him! She provided them both the best care. And she sent tons of pictures and was always in contact. We will use her again. I highly recommend her.”
“Virginia is super thoughtful. She always treats Ollie like one of her own. This trip, she knew we were flying in late so she made sure our sheets were washed so they were ready when we returned. Always appreciate her!”
“Michelle did great with my puppy (and her older brother)! I highly recommend her for any dog sitting needs! She was on time and sent a lot of pics snuggling with the dogs. They loved her! I plan to book Michelle again and again to take care of my pups. :)”
“Ell was great! She kept me updated with photos, & I could tell my dogs were very well taken care of. She also took good care of my home & left it clean & organized! She also did me the favor of watering my outdoor plants. I will definitely be hiring Ell again!”
“Robyn went above and beyond when taking care of our furry family. She did a wonderful job keeping us updated and sent pictures of our pups while we were gone. It looked like they had a great time with her!!! We are so lucky to have booked Robyn and anyone booking her in the future: please know that your pets will be in AMAZING hands. If I could give her 100 stars I would.”
“Abby is wonderful and I would highly recommend her. We did an initial meet and greet and I immediately felt comfortable with her. We were gone for 11 days and Abby stayed at our home with our 5 pound Yorkie. We choose an in home sitter because our dog has major separation anxiety. Abby sent us daily updates and pictures and our dog was living her best life as usual!! We already have our next stay scheduled with Abby.”
“Would recommend Ellie to anyone, fantastic communication, left our house cleaner than she came - Piper was so happy in all photos! Could tell Ellie really cared for Piper like her own, 10/10!!!!”
“Kelsey is Mr. Big’s favorite babysitter! She loves him and treats him like the king he is! ☺️ She is always our go-to when we are in need of a safe and loving sitter.”
About: I am a third year veterinary student in KC for the summer at an internship! I have worked as a Veterinary Assistant for 6 years now and have gained experience in handling and working with all breeds and sizes of dogs, as well as cats. I have also been petsitting for family friends for 5 years and have plenty of experience making pets feels comfortable while their owner is away. I am comfortable handling any dog or cat, with anything from giving medications to your senior pup to walks and exercise for the more energetic ones! I’m currently working full-time during the week with some evening hours available. I am also typically available all day during the weekend and on most holidays. As I am currently renting, I am not able to care for pets in my own home. However, I am more than willing to travel and take care of your fur-baby in the comfort of their own home! I have been trained on how to handle all types of animals with care and respect towards them, and would feel comfortable assisting with any training you are working with them on. Most of all, I absolutely love to hang out with any animal and would be honored to care for your fur baby!
“Ruslan was amazing! He kept us updated for the weekend with lots of pictures of our dogs and even mowed the lawn for us while we were away! He is so thoughtful and had great communication with us.”
About: I am a responsible and reliable person who loves animals, has had five dogs of her own, and wants to help others keep their pets happy and healthy. I’m currently working a shifted schedule. Saturday I am off most of the day. Sunday and Monday I am off the whole day. This is great for people with busy weekend schedules or long work days who need some extra help. I am also an early riser everyday, so I can let you run out of the door without worry or you can just sleep in and know your pet is covered. I ensure all doors are closed and locked when visiting your pup. If we’re leaving for a walk, my attention is fully on the safety of the dog. No matter what, I preemptively cross the street if another person or dog is approaching so we have a fun and safe walk.
“We really appreciate the job Jackson and Abbey did watching our pets. We had to improvise the plan but they were great in adapting and overcoming all issues. We would definitely recommend them”
