About: I’m reliable, patient, and genuinely love caring for animals. I take time to understand each pet’s personality and needs—whether that’s playtime, quiet companionship, or extra attention. You can count on me to treat your pet like family and keep you updated so you always feel at ease. I take care of my three cats morning and night, feeding them three times a day with fresh water at every meal. This routine has taught me the importance of consistency, attention, and creating a calm environment for pets. I’m experienced in providing loving care, monitoring their needs closely, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable throughout the day. I no longer have my dog, but I am more than comfortable with dogs as well! When caring for pets in your home, I prioritize maintaining their regular routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I follow your instructions carefully, whether it’s feeding schedules, exercise, or medication—and give each pet plenty of attention and affection. I make sure their environment stays clean and safe, and I provide updates so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.

About: Animals have always had an extremely special place in my heart. Ever since I was a kid I’ve helped care for my family’s own pets: feeding them, caring for their health, giving baths, taking them outside and on walks, and pretty much anything else having a pet entails. I also am in the process of beginning volunteering with the cats and dogs at Lawrence Humane Society! I am a full-time student, but I am available whenever I am not busy with classes. I also have a few volunteering shifts throughout each week that I need to work around, and a job (that I will be done with next month). I provide them with food and water, clean up their litter, play with them, take the dogs on walks, and show all the animals lots of love! I am also flexible and open to doing whatever I am able to.

“Absolutely phenomenal care for my pups and my home. Emily texted and sent pics daily keeping me up to date on everything with the dogs. Highly recommend her to care for your furry family members!”


About: I am a canine enrichment coordinator at a boarding facility and I teach basic and intermediate manners training classes. I have a degree in behavior science and I'm hoping to complete my KPA training certification in the near future. Ask about enrichment and basic training add-ons! I work as a full-time enrichment coordinator and dog trainer. As such, I have restricted availability. In general I am free Monday, Tuesday, and Friday evenings and all day on Saturdays. I am available for dog walking, check-in visits, and house sitting. I can also offer enrichment and basic training services as add-ons. Let's talk about some enrichment strategies to help your dog live a happy and full life!

About: Hi there! I’m a high school physical educator with a passion for staying active and healthy. While I don’t have a furry friend of my own right now, I’ve grown up surrounded by pets and absolutely love spending time with them! I understand the importance of care, attention, and exercise for your fur babies, and I’d love the opportunity to provide that for them when you need a helping hand. Whether it’s a fun walk, playtime, or just cuddling up, I’m here to ensure your pet is well taken care of and enjoys their time with me. Let’s give your pets the love and attention they deserve! I just recently lost my sweet boy, who was very elderly. I took care of him daily to clean his ears, help him up and down stairs, as well as helping him eat. I have a very wide experience of taking care of pups! I currently working full-time as a physical educator, as well as a volleyball coach. I am available evenings and weekends all day! If I board your pups, I live right by my work place which allows me to stop in and let them out through out the day and give them attention! With a genuine love for animals and a deep understanding of their unique needs, I offer personalized pet care services both in your home and in mine. Whether it's a walk, playtime, feeding, or just some extra TLC, I strive to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved in every environment. In your home, I maintain your pet's daily routine, ensuring they feel secure and at ease. I provide familiar surroundings and consistent care, reducing the stress of your absence. From feeding schedules to special needs, I tailor my services to meet their individual requirements. When your pet stays with me, they are treated like family. My home is a pet-friendly space where your furry friends can relax, play, and enjoy a comfortable environment while you're away. I offer plenty of attention, exercise, and love, making sure they feel right at home in a safe, cozy space.

About: A dog has always been in my house growing up, except when I moved to lawrence to go to school/work. I learned to take care of dogs since I could walk. My first dog was a German Shepard. I learned how to brush, clean, feed, and exercise around 6 years old and have loved dogs ever since. From middle school until now I had a side gig of watching extended family/ friends dogs for the weekends, so I have worked with all types of dogs such as pit bulls, labs, Rottweilers, shorthairs, boxers, huskies, and I also have experience with small dog breeds such as pugs, terrors, mini poodles, and chihuahuas. So don’t worry about what breed of dog you have I am open to all kinds!

“Kayleigh was the absolute best with our 80 lb boxer and 55 lb pit mix. We had never had someone watch both at the same time since we rescued the pit, and it went really well. She even had to deal with our garage pad freezing. 10/10 recommend her for your babies needs. Will definitely look to rebook on our next outing!!”


“Jessie did a fabulous job with our two 50lb Bernedoodles. at a competitive rate at the time of our booking. Jessie did great to give us daily updates with picture and video. That is always reassuring. Our home was in great shape upon return, so she did more than just watch dogs. Would definitely use Jessie again. This was our 1st time having someone sit in our home. For us this seems to make a lot of sense to allow our dogs to be in their comfort zone. Jessie also had her service dog which was probably an added treat for our dogs. I could see this being a complication for some.”


“Payton was AMAZING! She came ahead of time to meet our babies and she went above and beyond to take care of them. I spent all weekend with no worries. Worth it! Would recommend her to everyone! Thanks again Payton!”


About: I have always had dogs, and as an adult have done a lot of training work with my dogs including good canine citizen training and obedience. I believe dogs have their own desires and likes, and I encourage dogs to explore and enjoy life the way they want, in a safe environment. This means I only control a dog as needed to make them safe, and the rest of the time they can follow their nose and make decisions for themselves. Does the dog want to sniff every plant we pass- ok! Does the dog want to follow this animal track - yeah let’s go! Love digging- let’s head to the beach! I have had boxer dogs as an adult, and they are very expressive and will communicate what they want all the time- you just have to learn their language. I have honed the ability to learn and interpret dog sounds and body language to understand what they want. For my current dog, I started training him on the talking buttons so he can express more of what he wants, which has been amazing! We have a huge property with a swimming pond, so if your pup likes water, this will be heaven! Mine does and when he starts walking towards the pond I know it’s swim time! We have mowed path that is about 1 mile walk around the property as well, so plenty of walks and romps and swimming will be had! We work from home, with yard access and play throughout the rest of day. Our dog needs a lot of running, and having other dogs to play with is great for socialization too. We have a large yard, with a boxer who is great with small and large dogs. We all cuddle on the couch, walk, swim and play in the yard, and sleep in the same room.

“Jordyn is the absolute best! She was so flexible and understanding of our situation. Our Allie was loved just like she was at home!! We can’t wait for Allie to stay again!”


About: I love dogs. You can expect me to love and care for your dog while you are out. I will play with your dogs and take care of thier needs while you are away. I used to Foster dogs. I work as a security officer. I work Saturday through Tuesday. Monday and Tuesday are nights but can come before I go to work and I have 3 days off in the row that I will be able to come at anytime. I love dogs and like I said I work but would love to work with dogs on my free and days off that I have. It will help with extra money and I will get to love and show affection to dogs as well. I am currently not working at the moment so I have a pretty open availability at the moment. When that changes I will update it on here. I will care for my clients dog like I would my own. I will make sure to give them attention and take them out and play with them take them for walks. I would notify you if something were to happen or if I notice the animal was acting off. I give my dog lots of attention and love we cuddle with each other.

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.
