Pet Sitting & Drop Ins in River Market, Kansas City

“We had Jordan come to check on our dog during a couple days we were away from home. She was very communicative and did well with Chief, thank you!”

“I use Taylor for drop in visits for my dog Mona and she is fantastic! She is very responsive, dependable, and professional. I definitely have great piece of mind when Mona is in her care. Thanks Taylor!”

“Jessica is very nice and knowledgeable about dog behavior so I knew my boys were in good hands. It's freezing cold at home, but I knew I could still rely on her. The pictures at every visit kept my mind at ease. This was my first experience with Rover and Jessica was outstanding! So glad they got to stay home rather than some dumb kennel.”

“Hallie visited Charly exactly when she said she would. I received emails and photos of Charly's food bowls so my mind was at easy. No photos of the puss because Charly is very shy around people she doesn't know, so that was not unexpected. I am very happy how this experience turned out.”

“My second time working with Rachel and five stars across the board. I highly recommend her as she is so friendly and easy to work with. Thank you Rachel for taking care of my baby!!!”

“This was my first time using a pet-sitting service, but Rachel did a wonderful job making me feel comfortable with the process. She did a fantastic job taking care of my cats for a week- they seemed better than ever when I got home. I would highly recommend Rachel for any of your pets!”

About: Hi. My name is Keele. I love animals. I admire pet parents who use these services to provide their loved one/s the opportunity to have their own vacation while they are on theirs. Our guests can play, run in the yard, enjoy walks, squirrel watch, and take couch naps. All of those activities offer enrichment which has a positive impact on keeping your pet healthy and happy while you are away. That is why I am committed to delivering that vision so clients can have peace of mind and enjoy their time away knowing their loved one is having the best care. To answer some commonly asked questions: ANXIETY: Walks. After drop off they will get a walk. This helps decrease their initial bout of anxiousness. I also try to keep them engaged as to not allow boredom to creep in and breed anxiety, confusion or worry. DOG PARKS: I do not take client’s pets to dog parks. This is for their safety from other dogs. SLEEP: Pets have full roam. Most guests jump in our King bed and snuggle on us and our two dogs, but they are more than welcome to cozy up anywhere please. I make my own schedule. Pet care is top priority with an emphasis on exercise. Once we work out the details I adjust my schedule accordingly. Fenced Yard is first on the list for physical safety. For emotional safety and wellness we respect guests personalities and can read their mood. We do not force petting or engagement. We do not yell, spank or boss animals around. Enforce physical boundaries when needed. If my dog wants to play and we can see our guest is tired we will take our to another part of the house where either me or my husband are and put the door so they can stay in the room we are in to give your pet a break.

“Alex was SO amazing! She was so amazing with my 3 cats. She brushed them and trimmed their nails! She kept me updated with lots of messages and photos. She did such a fantastic job and was so friendly and easy to communicate with. My cats are very happy and were so well taken care of. I will definitely use her again in the future.”

“Melissa is responsible, dependable, and has high standards for pet care! She takes excellent care of her pup and extends that same standard of care to others. My pup loves her, I trust her completely, and would highly recommend her to others!”

“Best pet lover I know.. she has sat for my dog Raina more times than I can count and Raina adores her. I highly recommend Tanya! She is a sweet and trustworthy person..”

“Aaron is a natural with dogs; his patience, kindness, and genuine love for animals make him an ideal caretaker. He goes above and beyond to ensure the well-being and happiness of every furry friend in his care. With Aaron, you can trust that your beloved pet will receive the attention and affection they deserve.”

About: Growing up on my dad's farm from 2010-16, I cared for our 13 hunting and house dogs. This consisted of watering them, feeding them, cleaning their kennels, training them, playing with them and taking the doggos on long walks by Smithville Lake. For a brief period during the summer of 2019, I worked at Camp Bow Wow in Liberty, Missouri, performing the same duties (pun intended) listed above! I'm currently job searching, so I am available any day of the week and any time of the day. Just give me a day's notice! I live in an apartment with a nine-year-old cat who doesn't care for other animals, so my place will be out of the question, unfortunately.

“Grady is such a positive person who dogs love! He is timely, trustworthy, and brings great energy. He is willing to go above and beyond to make sure your pet feels comfortable and safe. I highly recommend Grady as your pet caretaker!!”

“Amanda was great with my two cats—she spent a lot of time keeping them active with their favorite laser toy and shared lots of great photos and updates while I was away. I’ll be booking her again soon and highly recommend to others!”

“Jake was our first babysitter for our new puppy while we were away this weekend and we couldn’t have picked a better choice! He was always on time, quick to respond (within minutes), kept our place tidy when Whitley tracked in water, and was so kind and sweet to her. I highly recommend Jake to watch your fur babies! Thanks Jake!!!”

“Kaylin is the most caring and attentive pet lover! My skittish and distrustful Akita absolutely adores her; Anytime I need pet care, Kaylin is the first person I call.”

“Rachel is an amazing person, pet sitter, and dog walker. I have known her for 4 years and I have nothing but positive things to say about her. Anytime I would need to go out of town, she would look after my dog without complaint. She even looked after my friends’ pets, and they also have only positive things to say about her. If I had a late night, she would take my dog out and go above and beyond. I never asked that she “wear her out”, but she would play with my dog on top of walking her, longer than expected, which was helpful after a long day. Rachel was always very communicative when watching my dog and kept me updated on what they were doing. If I ever messaged her regarding my dog, she got back to me quickly. She was always very kind, gentle, and patient towards me and my dog. I always recommend Rachel to anyone that asks me for a referral.”

“Kate is a wonderful dog sitter! We have two dogs one is older and loves fetch but not long walks. The other loves belly rubs and long walks. They couldn’t be more opposite but Kate was able to make them both happy. She sent daily updates and photos while we were away which I love!! My dogs definitely miss her when she leaves. We highly recommend her and the pups can’t wait for us to leave them with her again.”

“I can't possibly say enough about how wonderfully Alli looked after my cat Bagheera, and how grateful I am to have found her! My little guy gets separation anxiety and Alli was sure to shower him with love and attention while I was away. She provided very detailed (and adorable!) updates with tons of pictures, and it definitely helped ease my stress a lot to read about and see my little guy so happy and well cared for. There is no doubt I will definitely be reaching out to Alli whenever I need someone to take care of Bagheera in the future!”

About: I am a go to for friends and family that need pet sitting. I love dogs and love to walk. I don’t have a dog of my own because I travel for work, but I treat my parents dog Oliver like my own. I even have a pic of him hanging in my apartment 🙂 I work from home so I have some flexibility, particularly around the lunch hour and in the evening. On the weekends I am very flexible when I’m in town. I approach animals I don’t know with care. I let them take the lead and warm up to me. Once they’re comfortable I love giving pets and praise 🙂
