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.
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.
“Rachel was amazing and took such great care of my KC!!!”
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.
“Jigs knows exactly when Natalie is supposed to arrive. He gets super excited to see her! Natalie is very caring and patient with him. Jigs says Natalie is the best!”
“I was so worried about finding someone to walk my dogs because they are such a handful. Georgia took the challenge and has been amazing. She is so flexible and communicative and I can’t believe I found someone so awesome. She is a life saver.”
“Morgan and her mini-assistant 😉 are they best team! They show up early, and are very communicative. Pippa absolutely adores them. Would recommend to anyone, and will definitely use again.”
About: I work at an animal shelter and have experience handling and training dogs and cats with a wide array of medical and behavioral needs. I also have extensive experience tending to a wide range of animals, from cats and dogs to small mammals to horses. I have grown up with horses and currently have two of my own, and am very familiar with their needs and behaviors. I also have hands-on experience with rats, birds, fish, and reptiles. I look forward to taking care of your beloved family member! I work full time so I offer limited scheduling options, based on your needs and your dog's. I only work 4 days a week, so have much more flexibility Sunday-Tuesday. I also have the ability to utilize my lunch break to drop by in the middle of the day to let your dog out for a midday potty break and play session! I live in a home with a yard where your dog can have space to run or play in addition to daily walks. I also have a private room where your kitty or other animals could stay comfortably when they are here. At your home, I'm happy to share my space with your animals in whatever ways you allow, be it the sofa, the bed, or simply coexisting across a room!
“Cheyenne has been great with my doggy and is so dependable with my crazy work schedule. I love the detailed reports she gives, and goes above and beyond by cleaning up messes that my doggy might make when I’m away. She’s the best person I have found do care for my dog in a long time!”
“Ana was so wonderful. She was so patient with my nervous dog and made me feel so at ease. I highly recommend booking her.”

About: Hi there and welcome to my "About Me" section. My name is Krista and I have two furbabies named Mila (12 year old blue heeler mix) and Tadashi (10 year old black lab mix). Our home is full of nothing but love! I've always loved animals so much and have been taking care of my two babies since they were just little pups. They are some of the sweetest, most kind doggos you will ever meet! They love making new friends and get a long with just about every animal, even cats! If you decide to choose me as your sitter, I will treat your favorite furball(s) as if they are my own. I love all animals and have nothing but kindness, patience, and love to give! I also work from home and often have a lot of flexibility in terms of potty breaks, walks, or any other needs! Whether you decide to choose me as your sitter or you go with someone else, I appreciate you taking the time to read all about me and my furbabies. Feel free to send me a message and ask me any additional questions! I'll even be happy to set up a meet and greet before taking care of your loved one because I understand wanting only the best for your furbabies! I currently work from home so I have plenty of time to take care of your furbabies and give them lots of attention! I also have a fully fenced, large backyard. As far as caring for the pets in clients home, I make sure to ask what the rules are in the home such as no getting in the couch, etc. Overall, I love each and every fur baby like my own and will always give them lots of attention and pets!
“Charniece was the absolute best! Even though our dog wasn't cooperative, she really tried to make things work with him. She was kind and patient with him. She was willing to keep working with him until he was comfortable.”
About: I have helped taken care of dogs since I was a young girl. I have dog sat and walked dogs for family and friends. I hope to get the chance to do the same for you and your fur babies(: I am currently open to different times. Let’s figure out a schedule together. I do start school next month so I will not be as free as I am right now. I will respect your home and your routine for your fur babies. I want to gain your trust and your animals as well. I would like to learn more from you and help you out as well.
About: I've been watching family and friends pets for years. My kids and I enjoy having the opportunity to love on pets while their owners are away. I work from home so we can work walks and play time into our schedule. We are home most days of the week and your dog will get lots of attention from my 4 kids. I have a toy size doodle mix who is a rescue, who lives inside my home. His name is Charlie and he has one eye. He's great with other dogs. I have a pyranese poodle who is less than a year old, he lives outside and is also great with other dogs. I also have 4 kids ages 10 and under who help care for the dogs.
About: I volunteer for an animal rescue. I have fostered puppies and participated in their adoption process. I have cared for babies all the way up to seniors. Both dogs and cats. While I do have fur babies of my own, I will not bring them around yours unless they have already been introduced. I do not work so I'm available to take care of your fur baby whenever you need me. I would love to meet them and play! My yard is fenced in and almost half an acre so there is plenty of room for dogs to run around. I also have a side-by-side doggy duplex if your dog wants to have some "me time" and still be outside.
“Excellent service and communication!”
