“Super sweet to help out super last minute as we got stuck 10 hours away. Our poor babies had pooped inside and she picked it all up so we wouldn’t come back to a total mess. She was also amazing with our GSD who can be shy/timid. We will definitely use her again!!”
“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.”
“Thank you Alexandra!! 10/10 recommend, she made me feel so at ease using Rover for the first time. She came for a meet and greet before the visit, and sent an awesome update afterwards. Great experience 😊”
“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!”
“Deidre came to the rescue when our plans fell through for our dog last minute- she was able to come care for and let him out for a few days! She sent lots of pictures- and took good care of him.”
“Kayla took great care of our cats during our 12 day vacation. She gave thorough reports each day and several photos. I felt really comfortable that she was managing their care. She even took time to play a little and offer chin scratches. Would definitely use Kayla's services again”
About: I have taken care of dogs for over 20 years. I have had my golden Abbie for 9 years and have experience caring for dogs with medical needs, including post-surgery, chemo, and ongoing daily medication. I am thorough, attentive, and will send lots of updates (if desired)! I have also fostered dogs and cats for local animal shelters. My dog and I are certified therapy volunteers with Pets For Life. I work full time with 1 week day at home. I am available for walks and drop ins after 5pm on weekdays and anytime on weekends. I am available for boarding after 5pm on weekdays and on weekends. Walks can be provided to boarding clients in the morning and evenings before and after work. I have a 4 foot fully fenced large yard for running and playing. I have a dog and cat friendly golden retriever. I request a crate for safety when I am unable to monitor interactions between pets. I have a finished basement downstairs if cats (or dogs) prefer to have their own space.
“Nicole and her family are just amazing! Communication was clear, and she loved and took care of my dogs as if they were members of her family. We would definitely recommend!”
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.
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.
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.
“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!”
“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.”
“Maddy is a great sitter! She stopped by my apartment and looked after my cat for a little over two weeks while I was away. She is very responsive and accommodating. I would highly recommend her!”
“Catherine was wonderful! Our kitties were happy and spoiled with lots of love and playtime! We would definitely have Catherine back to check in on our kitties again!”
“My dogs can be a lil on the hyper side and she handled them so well! She was very nice and took great care of my doggos. I would definitely ask Abigail to care for them again in the future.”
About: I've worked at a few different clinics and shelters throughout the years. I foster for the local shelter and help friends with their fur babies! I work full time during the day, but work 5 min away from my home and I can go check on things throughout the day. I have a house with a fenced yard. I have a cat that sticks to herself mostly. I have foster dogs coming and going. I use gates to separate 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.
“Very good to work with. My dogs were well cared for.”
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.
