“Savannah always takes the best care of my cats! Photo updates daily and it’s so nice to even see my little scaredy-cat warming up to her :) haha. When I come home from being away it’s always incredible how much she’s willing to clean things up, and I love that I can see that my babies were spoiled with their food (as I always do for them), and had a comfortable living space while their mom was away. I’ll akwahs recommend :)”


“Nadia is a wonderful sitter! She took great care of my cat while I was away. I appreciated the many pictures and updates she sent over the stay. Your pet will be in good hands with Nadia!”


“It was such a relief to find Emily so we could go on our trip and not worry about our kitties. She did an excellent job taking care of everything!! I will certainly contact her again when we plan to be gone again.”



“Hi guys. I feel like you all did a great job. You took O' Malley for 10 days and let him do his thing and be comfortable in his own way. Thank you! The only thing I would have liked more of is communication. Both times I had to reach out to you for check ins. Good luck with your pet sitting!!!”


About: I've been blessed to help care for pets of all kinds since I was little moving around and many relatives work in pet care so I've learned there is no animal too difficult. From energetic to needy, I am excited for the opportunity to share some love. August 18th I begin my senior semester at Washburn majoring in political science as well as be on the Debate team. I volunteer at the Topeka Rescue Mission and Loud Light's community action team in my free time. I can ensure availability on Tuesday, Thur-Sun, but it never hurts to reach out for help on Wed and Mon because I can often make it work. With my experience in house sitting I have never had a negative encounter. Not only have my clients been incredibly kind, they have also been very helpful and communicated perfectly what I need to do to care best. I am a very tidy individual but my best quality that my compassion is boundless. I am happy to take on any responsibility while an individual's pet is under my care.

About: I got a puppy for my son back my May of this year (2023) and we have had so much fun with her! Rather than getting our puppy a puppy to play with we thought we would try out dog sitting as a way to get some more fun furry friends in the house! We take our golden doodle on a walk every day for about 20-30 minutes. She has free access to the backyard whenever she wants through the doggy door. My 5 year old plays with her both inside and outside depending on the weather. Charlee goes to the groomers about every 8 weeks for her spa day. I will treat your fur baby just as I treat mine! All the snuggles, play, and love they deserve! My son will also provide more than enough to wear them out I promise that haha

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and have always loved being around animals. I have experience walking dogs and have also done overnight pet sitting for both dogs and cats from time to time. I’m reliable, patient, and treat every pet like my own—with love, attention, and care. I’m comfortable and confident with dogs of all kinds—big or small, shy or energetic—and always prioritize their safety and happiness. I’m a student-athlete at Washburn and also work part-time, but I always make time for pet care because I truly enjoy it. My schedule is flexible around classes and work, especially in the mornings, evenings, and weekends. I’m great at planning ahead and will always make sure your pet gets the attention they deserve. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or at a client’s, their safety and comfort always come first. I follow any instructions carefully, keep a clean and calm environment, and make sure pets feel loved and secure. I take time to build trust with each animal and always respect their routine and space.

“Jenna was awesome with taking care of my newly adopted cat! I came back to my place just as I had left it, with a happy cat that was well taken care of. I would most definitely book her again if I ever need a pet-sitter again, she's great with animals and very responsive any time I would message her.”


About: I’ve been a pet owner for 10+ years. My fur babies are my world. I believe all animals deserve to be loved. Choose the best. I’m going to school part time and I would love to enjoy my free time taking care of some fur babies. Ask me your questions. I have a fenced in backyard. I live right by a park and university. I have an upstairs and downstairs in my home. Many space.

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was younger than 10 years old. My mother and I would volunteer our time at animal sactuaries to walk, play, bathe, feed, and even foster animals in our home. We rescued many pets off the street to support them and rehome them, as well as took part in training search and rescue dogs. I have always had a deep love for animals and supporting them just comes naturally. My experience fostering. re-homing, and supporting animals has allowed me the wisdom to be a wonderful support and playmate to your furry friend. I am currently on sabbatical from higher education and am spending this time working on creative projects and have open time to give intentional love and attention to your special pet! Every living thing is worthy of attention, love, and security. With my years of experience in animal care, I approach each animal with the upmost respect to provide a safe and loving environment (whether in my own home or that of a client's).

About: I work in a vet clinic where animals are borders as a kennel tech and I make sure they are as comfortable as possible away from home. My working hours at my job are the same every day and it’s a two hour shift in the PM so my days are open other than that. I am comfortable walking a dog around your yard if they need to in order to do their business or sit out in a yard depending on your requests. I don’t have many things I would be uncomfortable if requested.

About: I’ve had cats and dogs while growing up and always had to take care of them! My neighbors always could count on me to help take care of their pets! I am able to walk, feed, bathe and with direction of course I can give your pets medicine if needed! I am in Manhattan/Topeka and I am available! I’m flexible with hours and besides working out every other day for an hour I will be available at any time! At my clients home I will not only be taking care of your pets and giving them love I can also keep the place clean and keep plants watered. At my last pet sitting job I took the dog (115 pounds) on daily walks and was able to cuddle and play with both the dog and the cat! I also stayed the night at the last gig because the dog had separation anxiety. I work well with any animals!

About: As someone serving in the Army, I bring a strong sense of responsibility, structure, and reliability. You can trust that I’ll always show up on time, follow instructions exactly, and treat your pet and home with the utmost care. Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine because I already prioritize structure, responsibility, and physical activity through my Army background. I start most days early, so I’m used to being on a consistent schedule — which pets really thrive on. Whether it’s early morning walks, feedings, or just keeping them company during quiet afternoons, I make sure they’re cared for with love and attention. Even with a busy week, caring for animals gives me a sense of calm and purpose. Plus, I’ve already built pet care into my own life with my one eyed cat so it’s more than a routine; it’s second nature. When I care for cats in a client’s home, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and seen — especially since cats are creatures of habit. I stick closely to their feeding schedule, keep litter boxes clean, and give them space to warm up at their own pace. Some cats want cuddles and playtime, others just want a quiet presence — I respect each cat’s personality and adjust my care to match. I always check for signs of stress or illness, and I send daily photo updates so you know your fur baby is doing well. As a cat mom myself, I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet.

About: With over 15 years of dedicated experience in pet care, I’ve built a strong reputation for providing loving, reliable, and knowledgeable service to animals of all kinds. Whether it’s walking dogs, caring for cats, or tending to small pets, I treat every animal as if they were my own. My genuine love for animals shines through in everything I do, ensuring their comfort, safety, and happiness at all times. I’m a teacher who is off for the summer! This opens my schedule to be available fill time all days of the week to fulfill all your pet care needs. I am able to check on animals frequently and reliable in following any special directions you may have for your fur babies. I am fairly athletic so can provide animals with the exercise and walking they may need as well.

About: I worked with a dog rescue for over a year. I was in charge of socialization of the severe abuse cases, exercising and feeding the 50+ dogs on our site. I have experience with 3 week old pups & bottle feeding, walking and loving on 150 pound dogs, and taking care of those with special needs & the elderly. I have personally fostered 10+ different dogs, usually strays I find. I'm a sucker for bully breeds and goofy ears, but all dogs will be sure to get excellent treatment and my undivided attention. I have one spoiled 9 year old hound mix with megaesophagus, so I'm used to giving pills to pups regularly! She's very chill and a good sport with all dogs and cats. I work a full-time job 8-5, M-F, but have flexibility to let dogs out over lunch! Let me spoil and love your pet like my own! I'm a full-time worker, but my job has extreme flexibility to let out pets over lunch or beforw/after work! I work 8-5p usually and can take a lunch whenever needed! I will always ask and adhere to whatever standards and schedule you have set for your pets! As for my dog, she is spoiled rotten. It's her world and I just live in it. That being said, she isn't destructive and is house trained. I do put on a vibrating/loud noise collar to deter barking when I'm not home since she is a hound. When she is outside on the lead, I sit on the porch with her for safety. Dogs are allowed on the couches and beds at my house. While I have a crate, I have never used it in the 3.5 years I've had my pup because I've never needed it. I have used crates with past fosters who benefited from that routine.

About: I have a large breed dog myself who can and does play fetch all day long so that’s not a problem for me whether it be playing fetch or going on three walks a day I’ve got it. I am currently working part time so I shouldn’t have any issues fitting these visits into my schedule! I only work 4 hour shifts as well so your pet should never have to wait too long before I can come back! I do not offer to bring pets to my home but I will happily follow any rules given and will always keep your pet on a secure leash.

About: I'm not certified to train animals, but I'm happy to continue working on any training already in progress, and I'm able and capable to give meds as needed. I am done with school and I work part time so my schedule is flexible and allows me to take care of your animals when needed. I help give my own dog her required nightly meds. Previously, I've house sat with animals and let them out to go to the bathroom as needed and fed them as instructed.

About: With 15 years of experience in emergency and specialty veterinary medicine as a veterinary assistant and manager, I bring a deep level of knowledge, reliability, and compassion to every dog I care for. Whether your pup thrives on outdoor adventures or needs a calm, nurturing environment, I tailor each experience to meet their unique needs. I’m a graduate of Sarah Lawrence College, active hiker and long distance runner, and passionate about enrichment and experiences - your energetic dog will have a blast exploring trails with me. Senior dogs hold a special place in my heart; I recently adopted a 13-year-old diabetic dachshund and know firsthand how much love and attention they deserve. From trail walks to couch cuddles, your dog will be in expert, loving hands. Let me be their new favorite companion! I’m currently working part-time, which allows me plenty of flexibility to focus on pet care. I already spend most of my day with my own dogs—they love to ‘assist’ with whatever I’m doing around the house! When caring for pets, safety and trust are always my top priorities. I spend a lot of time with my own dogs—they’re my world—so I understand how important it is to meet each pet’s unique needs and routines. Your dog will receive the same level of care and attention I give my own. I’m very flexible with my schedule and always aim to stick closely to your dog’s normal routine—whether that means walks, feeding times, play, or downtime. Whether I’m caring for your dog in your home or mine, you can count on me to treat them like family and give you peace of mind.

“I believe anyone would be happy to have Daisy take care of their pet, whatever kind they are, she is extremely caring and has always made sure those around her are well taken care of. Without a doubt I believe whatever animal is lucky enough to have daisy as their caretaker will enjoy every moment. I also believe the owners of those animals will rest assured having someone who is fully communicative and understanding of any specific needs and that will keep them updated on their pet.”

“Emeri watched our 120lbs needy Pyredoodle & cat for a week while we were gone. She was very attentive to their care, would provide updates, great at communicating when she felt it was necessary and even provided pictures of our daughters cat when he was being missed. Emeri left the house in fantastic condition. The neighbors were so impressed with her after chatting while she was walking the dog that they are now using her for their pets. Can’t say enough good things about having Emeri watch the boys and have more dates booked with her for this summer.”
