About: I've always had a special connection with pets, from hatching chicks in 3rd grade, to watching my sister's 5 dogs, 30 chickens, and 4 goats, to just loving on my one cat at home. (Comfortable with all ages of dogs/cats including seniors) I currently work for my dad in Lenexa, so I have a semi-flexible schedule. I know how important quality time is to animals so I always adjust to their needs and make sure they're properly fed, watered, loved, and medicated (if needed) All pets are different. I like to follow owners instructions to a tee, and on top of that it doesn't take long for me to get to know an animals baselines behaviors so I can adjust to whatever that animal needs the most. Some just like to have someone there with them, some may want to be pet for 24 hours, some may like to play, some may just like to lounge, etc. My cat's name is Zuko, and she is somewhere in between all that!
“Mackenzie saved my hide and stepped up for me when the boarder fell through. Not only that, she did things she didn't need to because she is kind and it made my good girl happy. She's my first choice from now on.”
About: I have watched over dogs for the past few years for friends and family as well as my own pup who is 5 years old! I am currently searching for work in the Merriam area and looking for extra income. I work from home a few days a week and I am available most weekends. I treat animals like my own. I like to make sure they get enough water and exercise just as I would do for my own dog.
“I have two high energy, big feeling terriers and Lisa has been fantastic with them. I come home to calm, happy, unworried dogs.”
“Erin is an excellent sitter! She has always been available, even at short notice, when we need her. She goes above and beyond every time. She has a background in vet medicine which is reassuring. Highly recommended!”
“Courtney is once again amazing! She went above and beyond to make sure my dog was well taken care of. I love how many adorable pictures she sends and how everything she does is with the best interest of my dog in mind. So happy to have someone I can trust to watch my dog when I’m out of town.”
