“Christopher took great care of Rosie despite her being anti-social with the other dogs. He gave her personal attention and after a few days I think she was doing better. Christopher provided photos and updates, which were appreciated. I would recommend him and will use him again if I'm ever in town again.”
“My puppy ended up giving her some troubles by going potty in her house. I offered to give her extra for the trouble as I didn’t expect him to do that. When I went to pick him up she said she would love to watch him again and they had fun with him. I will definitely be asking her again to watch my puppy when needed!”
“Took great care of Luna over the weekend, lots of attention and activity like she needs and she even looked sad leaving because she had such a good time. Highly recommend! Thank you!”
“Ryan and Conner were amazing! Our two big dogs were exhausted when we took them home (they got so much playtime!) and Ryan did an excellent job keeping me up-to-date by sending pictures and videos. We highly recommend and we will be using them again.”
“Jason and his wife were awesome! My Pit has a lot of energy! Was awesome when I got home from a long weekend and he was worn out from staying there! Didn’t know how Dexter would react to other dog since we just adopted him 3 weeks ago, but they worked with him and found another dog that he enjoyed playing with! So it’s good to know he can play nice with some dogs! Would highly recommend them!”
“Stephanie was a dream come true! She took wonderful care of our two dogs, a pomeranian mix and a lab/pit mix, while we were away on vacation. Now that we found her, I feel like we can be away from home overnight without guilt because I know they're safe and happy with her. I won't be taking them anywhere else!”
“I needed someone to watch my Doggies while I was at a Chiefs’ game and Ismaray came through. I have to be careful who I leave my dogs with because they both come from challenging backgrounds and they don’t react well to everyone. I’m always nervous when I leave them with someone on vacation, but I take them with me on a lot of my trips. Not everything I do is dog friendly so that’s when Rover comes in handy. Both of my Pups liked Ismaray from the start, I was surprised to see them so relaxed and comfortable with her. They were both on her lap soon after I dropped them off and she sent me lots of pictures to ease my mind and enjoy The Chiefs’ game. She definitely has a way with Doggies and will be my Dog Sitter any time I’m in St Joseph/Kansas City.”
About: With years of personal and volunteer experience caring for dogs, cats, and even exotic pets, I bring more than just love, I bring knowledge. I’ve worked with pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, including senior dogs with special needs and high-energy breeds that need extra exercise and stimulation. I’m comfortable with administering medications, following special diets, and understanding subtle behavioral cues to keep your pet happy and safe. Whether it’s a snuggly lap cat or a high-energy pup, I tailor my care to fit each animal’s unique personality. I am currently working full time, but leave my weekends open and flexible.

In my home, pets enjoy a clean, cozy space with plenty of attention, playtime, and structured care that feels just like home. My small dog is supper friendly and loves friends! When caring for pets in your home, I maintain their normal routine to reduce stress—respecting your space and keeping everything clean and calm. I follow all instructions closely, offer regular updates, and treat every animal like they’re my own. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities.
“We boarded our pup Izzy with Angie and her family while were went on a vacation for 11 days. I received pictures and updates throughout the time Izzy stayed with them. She was well cared for and loved everyday. Knowing that our little girl was being taken so well care gave us peace of mind and allowed us to enjoy our time away. I would recommend Angie if you are in need of someone to board your pup.”

About: I have watched my families cats/dog when they have went out of town, go over feed and water them. Play with them. Give them medicine as prescribed. I currently work from home.

We are approximately 1/4 mile off the road so no worries with traffic. I am always outside with my animals if they are outside the fenced area as sometimes we like to run and play more. I can keep anyone seperate if needed and crated if needed also.
