“Samantha was EXCELLENT to work with when we had to change our plans last minute, and had an ill senior dog to boot. Her communication is very good, and I can tell from the photos and videos that she sent that our dogs and cat were very comfortable with her. You can trust Samantha to take great care of your fur babies!”
“Jenna was absolutely incredible! Super friendly, sent lots of photos, always made sure their food was full and their litter was clean. Gave constant updates which was deep appreciated as someone who is an anxious cat mom!”


“Erika has been amazing with Tonka! She’s reliable, caring, and I can tell she genuinely enjoys spending time with him. Tonka absolutely loves her and is always happy to see her. It gives me peace of mind knowing he’s in great hands. Highly recommend Erika to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their pup!”

“Brendan is the BEST! he took care of our sweet but very anxious girl amazingly. we have never seen her happier after a longer term stay with any other sitter. Brendan handles complicated pets with ease and patience.”


About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have experience caring for pets for family, friends, and neighbors. As a college student and athlete, I’m dependable, responsible, and active, so your pets will get plenty of attention, exercise, and care. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, or keeping them company, I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe and loved while you’re away. I’m a full-time college student with a mix of online and in-person classes, which gives me flexibility throughout the week. I also play collegiate soccer, but I plan my schedule carefully and update my availability regularly. I’m available for pet sitting, drop-in visits, and walks during my free time, as well as many evenings and weekends. I’ll always communicate clearly to make sure your pet gets the care and attention they deserve. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I will follow your pet’s routine, feeding schedule, medication instructions, and any special requests to help them feel comfortable. I’ll provide plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and updates with photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always keep their well-being first.
About: I was raised taking care of cats and dogs from the time I could walk. I recently moved to the area and I would love to spend some time with your animal. I currently work an 8-4 maybe a little longer on some days, so I would be able to stop in after I get home at four or anytime on the weekend! I will be able to come over for drop in visits and give your pets a potty break and some attention or anything that’s you need to make yourself and your animals more comfortable!
“Jasmine has been a lifesaver for the 2 kitties! They were available on short notice and have gone above and beyond to help with the cats health needs. Jasmine was communicative and sent lots of photos! I would highly recommend Jasmine!!”

“Keesha was a great sitter! She was took amazing care of our 12 year old Maine Coon. The daily drop ins for food, water and treats was just what our grumpy old man needed during our quick weekend away. Daily updates/photos put our minds at ease knowing he was in great hands. Highly recommend Keesha to care for your fur baby! We 100% will be using her again soon!”

“Nicole is awesome. I felt very confident my cats were being cared for after the introduction (Henry did contemplate launching at her and she was ok with it) and the report cards. She also got some good pics of my babies.”

“Rafaela was amazing with my two cats. They are anxious (like me) and they were comfortable with her immediately (rolled on their backs for belly rubs) which made me comfortable. She sent great photos and updates, communicated thoroughly, and I felt confident that the cats were well taken care of. When we met to exchange keys, she asked thorough questions and made sure she was prepared with all instructions. Rafaela is really kind, has a gentle energy with pets, and definitely understands how much humans cherish their animal companions. If I need a petsitter in the future, I'm definitely contacting her again. Highly recommend!”

“Shelby is amazing and went above and beyond for our old kitty! She made extra time to make sure she got her meds even when our cat was putting up a protest and took the time to play and hang with her. She even watered our plants without us asking! Highly recommend and will definitely ask Shelby to sit again!”

“Theresa is a superstar!! We mistakenly gave her a key that didn’t work and she went above and beyond to get the correct key while we were out of town. Felt terrible that we had made such a big mistake but she was very reassuring that she wasn’t going to give up on our pets. She sent us a bunch of sweet pictures every day and a very detailed update that left us feeling at ease and sure that our pets were safe, cared for, and getting lots of attention. Great communication from start to finish, we felt like she took care of our little ones as well or better than friends/family!”

“Jessica was great! She was very respectful of my home and made sure Spot got the kind of food she wanted. She brings a lot of experience and knowledge when she comes to take care of your pet!”

About: Hello! I am a pet lover with years of experience in caring for pets young and old. I am based in downtown KC but have reliable transportation. If I am out of your range, message me anyway and we might be able to work something out :) In my life I have owned 1 dog of each size (small, medium, and large of course), two parakeets, a guinea pig, several goldfish, and a leopard gecko. I currently live downtown with my two kitties, Josie and Jade. I have several years of both catsitting and dogsitting experience with close friends and family members, and it has always been the most fun side job so I thought I'd give Rover a shot. I also have housesitting and plant care experience. I am a full time actor, so regularly I work from home and will spend certain full days on set, not usually consecutively & with minimum 1 week’s notice. Additionally, in June I have evening rehearsals on weeknights and weekend rehearsals 11a-5p here in town. I am communicative with clients & I like to send photos at client request. In situations of senior care or medication, I will always opt to message with a question rather than make an unsafe assumption. Additionally, I am a very clean person and prioritize leaving things how I found them.
About: grew up on a farm surrounded by animals especially dogs, have raised/trained more than i can count and would love to give your dog a friend away from home while your away currently working part time, lots of time available for your doggos, walks, playdates, pup cups, All of the above! id love to put your mind at ease and a smile on your dogs face my apartment has a full fenced in courtyard with even a doggy park with full washing stations as well. can bathe them before returning if requested
“Taylor did a fantastic job with my kitties! They both came out for her. She spent lots of quality time with them. My home looked and smelled clean when we got home from vacation, which never happens. She refilled my auto feeder when it got low and kept on top of the wet food and water refills. She even ran the vacuum and swept up litter kicked out of the box by my crazy young one. 10/10 recommend!”

“Morgan was easy to work with for my last-minute request to have someone check in on my dog! I got cute pictures of him on a walk and the house was accident-free when I got home!”

About: Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or overnight stays, your furry friend will receive all the love and attention they deserve. I prioritize safety and fun, ensuring your pet feels at home while you’re away. I’ve been taking care of pets for friends and neighbors ever since high school. This has included both dog walking and dog/cat sitting. I was also a nanny to both a toddler and two dogs so I am confident that I have the experience to ensure excellent care for every pet that I take on. Let’s connect and make your pet’s day brighter! I work from home Wednesday/Friday and other weekdays I typically get home from work around 2 pm. Weekends I am completely free. I am a homebody at heart so looking for some furry friends to keep me company or get me out for my daily walk/run! I am both a huge dog and cat lover! I live in an apartment in a very pet friendly building within a great walking neighborhood. I love taking dogs along for my morning run if they need to let out some extra energy. I have no pets of my own to worry about which is why I’m looking to give yours some extra love! Totally willing to accommodate any special request such as administering medicine, maintaining a training regimen, etc.

I'm so grateful to have found Rafaela. She does a great job looking in on my two cats when I'm out of town. She is gentle and intuitive with cats and my anxious pair interact with her easily. She's also very kind and easy to communicate with. I definitely recommend her!

Shelby is amazing and went above and beyond for our old kitty! She made extra time to make sure she got her meds even when our cat was putting up a protest and took the time to play and hang with her. She even watered our plants without us asking! Highly recommend and will definitely ask Shelby to sit again!

Regan did a wonderful job with the drop in visits. My dog really liked him and my shyest cat came out to see him, which I consider a good sign. Regan also made sure the feral cats had food and water as requested. Sent me photos & quick updates. I would love to hire Regan again when I go out of town.

Derek was great to work with!! Our cat Rini really liked him and he greeted her immediately when he came to our house for an introduction. He shared a few photos during his check in visits and was prompt in responding when we had questions and while setting up the visits. We will definitely ask Derek to check in with our cat in the future!

Jennifer is an absolute sweetheart and Louie loves having her as a sitter. He even goes to his kennel all by himself while I'm getting ready for work. She checks in regularly and gives me photo updates. The most important thing is that she gives him the care and attention I'm not able to give him while I'm at work. I book with her every week because I'm so happy with the way she takes care of my baby boy.
