She sent photos and was able to update us on how Appa was doing while we were on our trip.

“Aubrey was the most understanding, flexible, and patient dog sitter! We loved that she kept our dog inside with her and her dogs, instead of an outdoor building. She treated him like he was one of hers, and that means a lot!”


“Jessica was absolutely amazing with Jax and Bailey. We had a meet and greet prior to dropping off my fur babies. I was so glad we had a meet and greet because I was a little nervous as Jax is new to the family and we were unsure how he was going to behave. Jessica was great, she kept us updated and sent pictures. I had no worries leaving my fur kids in her care. Jessica was great, she kept us updated and sent pictures. I will be using her for all our future trips, I highly recommend Jessica.”

About: We have been pet owners all our lives until recently. We have experience looking after dogs and cats. We would love to fill the gap by helping you out with pet sitting needs. Your fur baby will be treated as part of our family! My husband and I work full time, some days from home. My work is just few minutes away so I am able do potty breaks and walk during lunch. Our schedules are flexible and we can adapt to your needs. We currently don't have any pets at the house. Our yard not fenced but the neighborhood is very dog friendly with a little nature trail for walks.

“Such an amazing experience!!! This was the first time leaving our dog with a sitter since we adopted her. She is pretty skittish and I was extremely worried dropping her off. She warmed up to Debin quickly which eased my anxiety! Debin sent updates and pictures throughout the duration of the stay. Thank you so much! I’m so happy I have someone I can trust with taking great care of my dog! ☺️”


About: I've been around and owned large dogs throughout my life, as well as other small and exotic pets. All guests will meet Gracie, our very friendly service-dog-in-training, who loves to make new friends! Every dog I've owned, I've done at least basic household obedience training with. I'm self-employed, work from home, and have a very flexible schedule. Please check the calendar for blocked dates. Gracie and I typically start our day at 8:00AM, but we can receive visitors as early as 7:00. We start the day with breakfast and yard time before the heat comes in. When it starts to cool off in the evening, Gracie and I walk a 3-mile loop from the house to a nearby wooded trail and back. We have plenty of super chewer toys and treats for larger dogs, and a large fenced in back yard with room to run! Depending on weather, the dogs would spend most of the time in the house during the day. All time in the back yard is supervised. Housebroken dogs are allowed on couches and to roam the house. We also have kennels upstairs and downstairs, if needed.

“Melissa took great care of the puppies, got them exercise, and was very flexible when our travel plans changed! Highly recommended!”

“Anna was great! She kept me updated on how Frankie was doing his whole stay. I only got 1 picture, but that's ok with me since it was just a 24 hr stay.”


“Erica was an amazing sitter for my dog Maggie! I am new to KC & my 8-year old lab has never stayed with anyone but family. Erica was communicative, let us do a meet & greet before, and ensured Maggie would be in a calm environment as she can get easily overstimulated. Her two boys were great help & showered Maggie with all the love - even getting her a little christmas treat so she wouldn’t be without while they were opening gifts <3. A 5/5 experience. Nothing better than feeling completely at ease with your fur babies care while away. Thank you Erica!”


“Wow!! Chelsey and her family loved on Leo as if he was their own 🥹 With all the pictures and updates, I knew he was in good hands!! He was completely spoiled—so wonderful!! Thank you for taking such great care of him ❤️❤️❤️”
