“Alexandra is wonderful!! She’s the perfect person to take care of my pup, from snuggles to playing to knowing dog first aid and how to handle reactive dogs like mine. Thank you so so much Alexandra! We will def be using you again. Phoebe loves you ?✨”
“Rachel dropped in on our two doggos, Jack & Hazel, over a long weekend while we were out of town. They instantly clicked with her and felt comfy being themselves with Rachel. We will definitely be booking with her going forward for future travels!”
“Nathan came through at the last minute for us…. Everything has been great. Nathan has kept me updated on how my dog Bear did outside the normal report. I’m very happy with the job Nathan is doing and hope he stays with us.”
“Rachel has been caring for our puppy since we got him. So far we have had a great experience! She is very punctual, attentive, and keeps up updated.”
“Always great and responsive! Would recommend to love your fur babies like her own!”
“Manda was awesome! She kept me up-to-date on her visits and how my cat was eating (even sent me pics of his food bowl). She took the time to talk to him and make him feel more comfortable. Usually my cat does not eat when I am away, so this was reassuring to me! I highly recommend Manda for your pet(s) - she cares for them as if they were her own!”
“Absolutely amazing!! I can always trust them to take great care of my 2 old kitties while I'm away. I know that they are getting plenty of love and attention. So thankful for them!!”
About: Hello, My name is Mei, I am a nurse. My husband Mitchell is a software developer. My husband works from home and I only work 2 days a week in a hospital. We have two children, Leon and Lily. We have been dog sitting since 2014. We also have three dogs Sasa, Pawpaw, and Loot. We adopted Loot on our vacation in Arizona in 2022. Our dogs are well socialized with other dogs. They will start playing with new friends in no time! We have a BIG fenced yard and lots of dog toys! We have experience taking care of senior dogs on multiple daily medications and also little puppies. So just bring your fur babies to our house, and I guarantee they will have LOTS of fun and attention! My husband works from home. I work 2 days a week in a hospital. There will be somebody home throughout the week to watch the dogs. We have a fenced yard and we also put chicken wires all around it to make sure it is completely safe for the dogs. We make sure that dogs have potty break at least every 2 hours. My husband's office is in the walkout basement. He keeps the dogs around him in the basement when he is working.
About: I've had pets for ages, cats & dogs. Right now I don't have any, home is lacking! I have a special heart for smaller dogs! Right now, I'm working from home part time. So am pretty flexible watching your pet. My preference is to have your pet here in my home. I have a large fenced in back yard, dogs seem to love roaming in it! I prefer to crate at night and have always crated my dog when leaving home. I find dogs seem more secure when crated.
“Lilly treated our dog and cats like her own. They all seemed at ease with her fairly quickly when we met before the trip. She was flexible, respectful of our property, easy to work and communicate with. She took excellent care of our furbabies while we were out and she will be our first choice for their care the next time we go out of town.”
“Maddie checked on my cat and took care of my plants when I was gone for 2 weeks. I couldn’t be happier, my cat is doing great and the plants look better than when I left. Thanks Maddie!”
About: I have always grown up with dogs from the age of 5, so I am no stranger to talking car of them. During the last 8 years, I have periodically taken care of dogs for friends and family. As well as having my own dog for the last 6 years. I work from home most days so I have flexibility to be able to make drop in visits to care for your pet’s needs. Or I am able to care for your pet’s at my house with almost all day attention. For boarding, I do ask that drop off and pick up is between 10:00 and 6:00pm. I do live in a townhome so your dog will be taken on plenty of walks with the company of my own dog, Henry. My dog can be crated, as well as yours if that is requested.
About: Taken care of dogs for over five years. Watch neighbors and friends dogs routinely. Live around the corner from Grandview pet hospital for even more peace of mind. I work full time remotely so I’m always home. Bathroom breaks and walks will never be an issue. I am literally home 95% of the time. The other five percent is locally around KC to see family. Big back yard and have an extra room for pets including toys and mattress etc. My dog is my son without tax breaks so he sleeps in the bed with me mostly. I don’t mind if dogs are on furniture etc. If this is against your home rules, I have no problem keeping them off if needed. Food, walks, naps, play time and repeat.
“Maia and Brent did a fabulous job taking care of our 2 boys (ie. our cats) while our regular pet sitter was out of town. We appreciated the flexibility of booking last minute for a holiday week. She was very professional and showed great knowledge when we introduced her to our dog (who we were taking with us on our trip). We won’t hesitate to leave all of them with her in the future. She sent us photos with updates at each check-in and even hunted down a missing package in our mailbox to bring it inside for us.”
“Alex was great! I felt completely comfortable leaving my dogs with him. Knowing he had dog training experience gave me peace of mind while I was out of town. And he was great with both of them - even my high energy pup that doesn't always take to strangers. He took to Alex right away!”
About: I’ve been taking care of my own dogs since I’ve been in middle school. I’m also a dog bather at the moment so I have plenty experience with dogs. I’m working part time right now and I love to work with animals. There will be lots of time for me to spend with your furry friends!! I have a fenced in yard and I have 2 other very friendly dogs that get to roam around. They get frequent bathes as well.
“My dog is pretty shy and can be very stand-off-ish, but Catherine did a great job with her. I think they were even buddies by the end of the week! I loved all the detailed messages and photos as well. I’ll definitely be booking Catherine the next time I need a sitter.”
About: I’ve had dogs of my own in the past years, as well as taken care of many of my friends dogs in the past years. I run my own business from home so I have all the time in the world to be attentive of your pet. I will always keep you updated as well. I can have your pet kenneled until it’s time to go do business. I work from home so I will be checking your pet often. I have a big yard for your pet to run around in. It is not fenced but I will put the leash on the pet if needed.

I took my dogs kennel so she could have something she’s familiar there, he put a blanket inside the kennel for her and I just thought that was the most caring thing ever! I thought I brung enough food but I didn’t and he went out and bought her more food and didn’t even bother to inform me! I mean all around perfect retreat for my dog! He is now my go to whenever I take trips! I don’t trust anyone else with my dog but Ryan! Thank you so much for all you’ve done for her and we’ll see you again soon!”
