About: I've been a dog owner and animal lover my entire life, giving me firsthand experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. As a current pug and cat parent, I understand the importance of providing pets with a safe, loving, and reliable environment. I treat every pet as if they were my own and am committed to ensuring they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you're away. Pet care fits well into my current schedule. I work a fulltime professional position during the weekdays, which allows me to provide pet care services during evenings, weekends, and select weekdays depending on the pet's needs. I'm organized, reliable, and committed to ensuring pets receive the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. We live in a community with walking paths and a couple of ponds that we enjoy walking to with our pups. I will be happy to walk yours through the neighborhood as well. As a lifelong dog owner and current pug and cat parent, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every animal as a member of my own family.
“Samantha did amazing with my (very energetic and easily distracted) boy. I knew from her meet and greet that she was very understanding and kind. My dog loved her immediately and I’ll definitely book with her again.”

About: I currently manage a pet care boarding and daycare facility, so taking care of animals is a big part of my everyday life. I’ve worked with all kinds of animals, from energetic puppies who need structure and patience to senior pets who need a little extra attention and care. I’m comfortable giving medications (oral and diabetic injections), following detailed routines, and getting to know each pet’s individual personality. Working in pet care has taught me how important it is to pay attention to the little things. I’m used to noticing when a pet is acting differently, figuring out what they need, and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I also know how important communication is, so I like to keep owners updated with pictures and messages so they know how their pets are doing. Whether your pet needs a long walk, some extra playtime, meds, or just someone to hang out with them, I’m happy to give them the same patience and attention I’d want someone to give my own pets! :) I currently work at a pet care facility, so caring for animals is already part of my daily routine. Outside of my shifts, I’m available to provide pet sitting and drop-in visits, which allows me to stay flexible while continuing to do something I love. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all feeding, playtime, and medication instructions exactly as provided, and I make sure to give extra attention to their favorite spots and habits—whether that’s a window perch, a certain toy, or a bedtime routine. I keep the home tidy, refresh food and water regularly, and make sure the litter box (or yard for dogs) is clean and comfortable. I also provide updates and photos so owners feel connected while they’re away.
“This is our second time booking with Emma, and we'll happily book with her again in the future. We had good communication, the walks were for the agreed upon amount of time, and we always came home to a happy dog!”

About: I have been working with dogs since my mid-teens, from fostering to training and just about everything in between. I have experience with dogs of all ages and sizes, as well as mobility, hearing, and visual imparments. I specialize in hyper, anxious, and reactive dogs. I also have a passion for socialization and confidence building. I am first aid and CPR certified for dogs and cats. I also have experience in oral medication administration. I currently work Monday-Friday 9pm-5am I am available in the early mornings 6-8 am and evenings 4-8 pm for drop ins and walks. I am also flexible with my availability on weekends and can accommodate most schedules. I have several years experience handling dogs and the challenges they often bring with them. I am first aid and CPR certified for dogs and cats. I always have an extra slip leash and break stick (a tool used to help safely open a dog's mouth in the event of a bite) on me in case of emergencies. I have two friendly dogs who are always looking for new friends, if your dog would benefit from the company.
About: I’ve always loved being around animals and have years of experience caring for dogs and cats for family and friends. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, bathroom breaks, playtime, and following each pet’s individual routine. I know every pet has their own personality, so I take the time to learn what makes them comfortable — whether that means lots of play and attention or giving a shy pet time to warm up to me. I’m very attentive to instructions and will treat your pet and home with the same care and respect I would want someone to give my own. I’m also happy to send plenty of pictures and updates during visits so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing! I have a flexible weekly schedule that gives me plenty of time for pet care! I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week, including evenings and weekends. I keep my Rover calendar updated regularly so my availability is always as accurate as possible. I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine whenever I can, and I’ll always communicate clearly about scheduling. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always come first. I’ll follow their normal routine and your care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any household rules. I’m careful about keeping doors, gates, and leashes secure, and I’ll always supervise your pet appropriately. I also understand how important it is to trust someone in your home. I’ll treat your space with respect, clean up after your pet, and make sure everything is left the way I found it. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, comfortable, and getting plenty of attention while you’re away.

“Stephanie's warm, organized, and attentive demeanor was a treat for me and my dog alike! She went above and beyond to take care of Georgie- giving lots of attention, filling her finicky 'dinner ball', diligently sending pics/updates, and matching Georgie's vibe with opportunities to cuddle, rest, zoom or play as she needed. Responsible, warm, communicative- thank you so much Stephanie for taking GREAT care of our family!! I'll be rebooking soon💛”

About: Hi! I’m Cindy, a caring and reliable pet sitter with 17 years of experience caring for dogs and cats of different breeds, ages, sizes, and personalities. I offer boarding, daycare, drop-in visits, and walks, always focusing on providing a safe, comfortable, and loving experience tailored to each pet’s individual routine and needs. My home is smoke-free and pet-friendly, and because I don’t have pets of my own, your pet can enjoy plenty of individual attention during their stay. I also keep my boarding environment calm and manageable so I can give each guest the care and supervision they deserve. 💌 Daily Updates & Photos I know how important it is to feel confident about who is caring for your pet while you’re away. I send regular photo updates and messages so you can see how your pet is doing and enjoy peace of mind throughout their stay or visits. Whether your pet is staying with me for the first time or is one of my regular guests, I take the time to learn their routine, personality, preferences, and needs. My goal is for every pet in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and loved — just like they would at home. Pet care is a regular part of my daily routine, which allows me to give the pets in my care plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. BOARDING & DAYCARE: I’m home throughout most of the day, so pets staying with me receive plenty of attention and regular potty breaks. My home offers plenty of space to relax and play, as well as a fully fenced backyard for supervised outdoor time, fresh air, and potty breaks. I do my best to maintain each pet’s normal feeding, potty, and activity routine so they can feel comfortable and at home. DROP-IN VISITS & WALKS: I’m available for drop-in visits and walks throughout the week. Evening availability may vary, so I recommend booking ahead whenever possible.

Dogs are supervised while outside, and I make sure they have plenty of attention and companionship throughout their stay.

My goal is to make your pup feel safe, relaxed, and at home while giving you peace of mind while you’re away. 🐾

“Taylor has been very helpful. She has come and walked our very energetic dog on a weekly basis and I have had 0 difficulties getting ahold of her or getting feedback about how everything went. She is very sweet and a great choice for your pet!”

About: I have had a dog ever since I was born, and am now 24 years old! I helped train my newest dog, so I have a lot of experience in puppy training. My last dog unfortunately had to have her leg amputated when she got older, so I also have experience with disabled dogs. I have also volunteered at an animal shelter for years, so I am good with all kinds of dogs- big and small, anxious and energetic, etc. Whenever one of my friends is out of town, I am their go-to pet sitter. I pet sit for a lot of my friend’s cats, so while I’ve never had one, I know how to take care of them. My dog, Rosie, is my entire world, so I know how important your pets are to you! I will treat them as if they are my own :). I do have a full-time job, but it is very flexible. I am able to leave during the day if needed for your pet! My nights are always free too, so I am able to house-sit. Your pet will be my #1 priority in my routine! I will keep your pet safe with my life! I will ensure they are on a leash when outside and make sure they are comfortable and getting their exercise in. Inside, I love to play with them! I will ensure no doors are left open so they can’t slip outside to maintain their safety. But I will make sure they are having fun while inside!
About: I work at The Wag Dog Bar in Grandview! If your pups like other ones, let’s talk about the possibility of me bringing them for a few hours! If that makes you uncomfortable, no worries! I will still enjoy doing all other services to provide for your pup :) This position put me through a lot of training about dog behavior! I recently rescued my very own bully mix from the shelter. I am very comfortable with any and all pups! I am currently working two part time jobs so my schedules often changes! If you want to ask, please reach out and I will provide you my schedule for the whole week! My pup is like my child. I treat her with gentleness, just like I would your pup. I always have treats on hand (please let me know if your pup has any allergies!) I always go by the policy that the pup’s comfort and experience comes first!!
“Molly was AMAZING! She stepped right in when I contacted her last minute with short notice for help to have someone walk my pup. Biscuit immediately connected with her because of her gentle and kind spirit. I definitely recommend booking Molly!!”

About: I’m an animal lover that wants to give your pet the best vacation experience possible! I want you to feel completely at ease knowing your pet is in capable hands. I have experience taking care of my own dog for 10 years. I also have great knowledge of how to handle a variety of problems with various pets, and will adhere to each and every one of their personal needs. I’m comfortable with administering any medication or taking any special care for an individual pet’s needs. Making your pet feel comfortable and happy when away from you is my top priority. Please feel free to contact me with any questions! I currently work from home and make my own hours, so I’m very flexible and can give your pet round-the-clock care whenever and however they need it. I have a fenced in yard and a friendly pup of my own that gets daily walks and enrichment toys. I’m able to adhere to a dog’s normal routine in their own home to keep stress to a minimum while their owner is away.
“This was the first time I left my dog Bella with someone outside my home, and I couldn't be happier with how it went. From the start, the sitter was kind, attentive, and professional. She took the time to get to know Bella, respected her routines, and kept me updated with photos and messages throughout the stay. Bella returned home calm, happy, and, without a doubt, very well cared for. It was clear she'd been in a safe and loving environment. Emma made the experience natural and stress-free. I highly recommend her and will definitely book with her again in the future. Thank you so much for taking such good care of Bella! 🐶❤️”


About: Hi! My name is Lauren; I am responsible and friendly and can be relied on to walk and take care of pets. I grew up with dogs and cats and have always loved animals. I have over 5 years of experience pet sitting and house sitting. I love to walk and play with pets. I do my best to keep the space clean and keep the pets safe and happy. I do not have pets of my own right now. I look forward to watching your pets! I work full time as a Physical Therapist, so my availability is mornings before work, evenings after work, and weekends. I may be able to stop by during my lunch break depending on where you’re located! I will follow any instructions you give me in order to keep your pet(s) safe while I am watching them! I value building trust with the owner and the pets.
About: Being around dogs is something that comes naturally, and making them feel comfortable is always the priority. Time is taken to understand each dog’s personality, whether that means helping a puppy learn or giving a senior dog a slower relaxed walk. Every walk is filled with patience, attention, and a little extra love (and probably a few happy tail wags along the way). The goal is always a safe, fun, and stress free experience for every pup 🐾 I’m in my second year of college and working part time job on weekends, so afternoons on weekdays are when I’m most free. Every pet is cared for based on what they’re used to and what makes them feel most comfortable. In a client’s home, routines are followed closely to keep things familiar like feeding times, walks, or play. At home, pets are in a safe calm environment with lots of attention and care. Whether they’re energetic or more relaxed, they’re always treated with patience and love.
