“10/10 recommend! He watched our puppy, Wes, for 6 days and I have absolutely zero complaints. Chris was professional and communicative, I got tons of videos/pictures/updates. Wes got to socialize and make new friends and we’re already looking forward to scheduling doggy daycare days so he can go back to see his best buddies. Thank you so much for your excellent service!”
“Dragana was amazing with our 1 year old dog! She had him for a week and sent updates, pictures, and videos multiple times a day. She gave him so much attention all week with walks, dog park visits, and backyard time. Our dog was definitely sad to leave, we will definitely be using her again!”
About: For the last 4 years my husband and I have had 4 dogs. He often travels, so I am usually caring for them alone. We have a husky, 2 pit-husky mixes, and a Belgium shepherd. I trained the Belgium shepherd from puppy age, and she’s now the sweetest and best guard dog out there! Our dogs can be stubborn at times, and I’ve even had to break up a couple of dog fights. I am able to handle difficult situations if your dog is a little tougher or not as friendly. I have always loved animals, especially dogs because of their loyalty and cuteness. From small dogs to large- I can care for them however you need and will treat them like they’re my own! I recently quit my job because we moved, so I have all the free time in the world! I can be flexible and stay with your pet to play longer if you need. Since we currently have 4 dogs we are not taking any pets to stay with us. However, we have a barn and hope to be able to house dogs there some day!
“My puppy ended up giving her some troubles by going potty in her house. I offered to give her extra for the trouble as I didn’t expect him to do that. When I went to pick him up she said she would love to watch him again and they had fun with him. I will definitely be asking her again to watch my puppy when needed!”
“Kayla was great with our 2 extra hyper and spoiled dogs. She sent us lots of pictures over the weekend which made us feel at ease since this was the first time we had left them with anyone other than a close friend. I will definitely use Kayla again.”
“We boarded our pup Izzy with Angie and her family while were went on a vacation for 11 days. I received pictures and updates throughout the time Izzy stayed with them. She was well cared for and loved everyday. Knowing that our little girl was being taken so well care gave us peace of mind and allowed us to enjoy our time away. I would recommend Angie if you are in need of someone to board your pup.”
“Taylor watched out puppy and he had so much fun with them for the night! I would trust her with our puppy anytime and we are grateful that he love him like their own! Highly recommend :)”
“I needed someone to watch my Doggies while I was at a Chiefs’ game and Ismaray came through. I have to be careful who I leave my dogs with because they both come from challenging backgrounds and they don’t react well to everyone. I’m always nervous when I leave them with someone on vacation, but I take them with me on a lot of my trips. Not everything I do is dog friendly so that’s when Rover comes in handy. Both of my Pups liked Ismaray from the start, I was surprised to see them so relaxed and comfortable with her. They were both on her lap soon after I dropped them off and she sent me lots of pictures to ease my mind and enjoy The Chiefs’ game. She definitely has a way with Doggies and will be my Dog Sitter any time I’m in St Joseph/Kansas City.”
About: I have watched my families cats/dog when they have went out of town, go over feed and water them. Play with them. Give them medicine as prescribed. I currently work from home. So I am able to let your fur baby out for a potty break when needed. As mine always lets me know when she needs out. I do have a pet door where the pups can go out to a small fenced yard if they are used to this also. I have a small fenced yard but also a large unfenced yard to run. We are approximately 1/4 mile off the road so no worries with traffic. I am always outside with my animals if they are outside the fenced area as sometimes we like to run and play more. I can keep anyone seperate if needed and crated if needed also.
About: I have completed countless hours of training and grooming with dogs. I am certified with the American Red Cross to provide if needed Canine CPR. I am able to provide day care and boarding needs to pet parents. I have had countless hours in training on canine behaviors and temperaments. I will provide care for your pet while you are away. I will always treat them as if they are my own. We have a very large fenced yard for your pet to run in while you are away. If its cold outside we do have an area indoors.
