“Sierra was fantastic! She provided excellent communication throughout and truly went above and beyond in caring for our dog. It was clear how much she genuinely cares, and we felt completely at ease knowing our pup was in such great hands. We’ll definitely be booking with her again in the future!”


About: I have a 4. year old dog, Kane who doesn’t know a stranger. Human or dog alike. I spent a year assisting in the training of K9, schutzhund, and over all protection/ obedience. I’ve grown up with dogs of all sorts and absolutely love them. I spent a lot of time volunteering at the local animal shelters in Kansas City, where I am originally from, so I am good with dogs behaviors and what to do and not to do’s. I can take your dog on a run, or pop in and give him his food and play for a bit. Or even stay over night if your pup is uncomfortable in new surroundings and needs to be in his home space! I’d love to care for your dog! I work hybrid and when I am in the office I don’t have issues stepping out to take walks and when I’m working from home I take several breaks to go on walks or the park. I stay super active and make sure my dog and any dog I care for has lots of enrichment and stimulation! I make sure that I’m always in a safe environment and make the dogs feel comfortable.

“Ame took such great care of my fur babies all week and sent me wonderful pictures that I will cherish. I highly recommend Ame - she is also a lovely person! Look no further for your next Rover-type needs!”


About: We have always had dogs in our family. I treat them like they are my babies and take them everywhere with me. My dogs go on my walks with me daily and are my best friends, I am very thankful that I have a job that I can work from home or is very flexible with me that I will always have time for you animals. I do not have a fenced yard but I do have two fur babies that stay in the back yard with no problems. They are allowed to free roam in the house but if you would prefer them to be crated then I can do that as well.

About: I’ve had pets all my life, I take care of them/ play with them, and Ive pet sit many pets starting at 12 yrs old. I personally have 3 dogs and 3 cats too. I love all animals, no matter what pet, size, breed, age and I’m currently majoring in pre-vet medicine to become a veterinarian at my college. I can do anything you require like play with them, let them out, walks, runs, bathe/groom them, cut their nails, feed them, or anything that might come to your mind. I’ve personally worked at a animal daycare for a year before I went to college and so I’ve had experience professionally too. Currently on off season as a college soccer player so I have more free time to take care of your pets/play with them. I love to spend time with animals and love on them especially if they are stuck in their cages all day. I could stop by anytime usually if you need to check on them, play with them, or take care of them. I’ll do anything that the client requires and make sure the animal is safe, happy, and comfortable in their home. I will check on them as much as possible if the client requires it, I will let them out as much as possible and take care of their health. I have a deep connection with animals and just want them to be safe, happy, and taken care of.

About: I’m an active adventurous person ready to play with the dogs or take them on walks. I have helped family, friends and neighbors watch their dogs, whether it be just a check in or a week at a time! Seeing as I have a cat of my own, I make sure to put her into my daily schedule and make time for her to play with her and her as well as make sure her litter stays clean and her food and water bowl stay full! My cat is an indoor cat. Although she is aloof, she still loves to come cuddle and I always make sure that her food and water bowls are full, her litter is clean and her medicine is taken

About: I’ve taken care of my grandparents pets and my own for my entire life, and through my business, The Friendly Elephant,I have been doing it professionally for two years. I’m a student so I am almost always available to help out with any summer needs, as well I’m happy to take care of of animals any other time I am available. The ways I take care of your pet is completely up to you. Just let me know their routine, leave me instructions, and I will take care of them accordingly.

About: I have loved animals since forever. I cannot recall a time in my adult life that I did not have a furry friend. I have a long history of animal rescue transportation and some fostering in-between transportation runs. I have been house sitting and dog watching for friends and family for several years and truly enjoy it! Unfortunately, I recently lost my sweet Lucy at the age of 14. (She is the first picture with her blue stuffie ☺️) She fought the good fight! However CHF, an enlarged heart and heavy seizure activity became too much for her aging body and the good lord came calling to help her cross on over the rainbow bridge where she can roam and run pain free again. So, I decided to offer my love of animals to others' companions instead of adopting again and went to work part time for the veterinarian that walked the walk with us. The love of an animal is unconditional and healing and within that, there is peace 💛 I currently work for a vet clinic and also as a massage therapist with full control of my schedule therefore have the ability to adjust my days as needed. I pride myself in working hard to keep your pets schedule as close to their normal routine as possible. I feel consistency is important for them when their humans are absent.

I’m currently working full time as Physical Therapy Assistant at a local nursing home, my hours are very flexible so I have plenty of extra time to love on your fur babies! I have a large fenced in yard, with 4 friendly pups that love to make friends! If your fur baby would like more privacy away from the others, I can gladly crate and separate as needed!

About: I have 3 dogs at home, a pit bull, French bulldog, and a toy poodle. I have experience with dogs of all ages and different breeds. I love animals and enjoy spending time with them.

Danyelle S.
“Danyelle is a very responsible individual whom I would trust with any pet! Her empathetic and selfless heart shine through especially when working with animals. Personally, seeing her with my own cats is so heartwarming. When she first met my rescue kitten, Simon, he warmed up to her immediately despite his lack of affection towards me. I’ve never seen a cat more well-loved than her cat Gunther, and the bond she’s been able to grow with her is so touching. She is so passionate about kindness towards every living being- not just animals, but in the people she interacts with day to day as well”


Brody C.
“Brody takes care of our dogs often and does a great job. He is always on time, polite, and my dogs love him. We used another service previously and they charged twice as much and it was never the same person. I recommend Brody to everyone.”


Alicia C.

“Alicia was amazing! She took fantastic care of my cats, was diligent with check-in’s, & made me feel safe leaving them for a week!”
