Pet Sitting in Shawnee

“Highly recommend Lindsey for all your kitty sitter needs. She was amazing watching our shy and quiet kitty. By the end of their time together, they were best of friends. Truly gave us peace of mind.”

“Ruslan helped me out with my pet cat in a very last minute situation. He went above and beyond providing entertainment, supplements, and updates during every visit. He even cleaned up litter my cat kicked out! Overall he’s a very friendly and amazing choice. My cat has never warmed up to anyone as fast and him! Highly recommended and will book again when needed.”

“Valerie did a great job taking care of our cats while we were away for our wedding. She was responsive and we were able to relax knowing that they were in good hands. Will definitely have her watch them next time we are out of town!”

About: With over 50 years of hands-on experience in pet care. I've dedicated my life to understanding and supporting the well-being of animals, especially dogs. For 8 years, I have worked as a veterinary technician, where i gained in-depth medical knowledge and practical skills in animal heath, emergency care and preventative treatment. My background also includes extensive experience in both basic and advanced dog training focusing on obedience, behavior modification and building strong bods between pets and their owners. Over the decades I've cared for animals of all ages, breeds and temperaments - from raising litters of puppies and kittens to providing compassionate support for senior pets. My approach combines patience, consistency and a deep respect and love for every animal's unique personality and needs. Things to consider prior to booking: • Are they friendly with other pets? I have one dog and 3 cats in our home. • Are they able to jump a 5ft fence? • Are they protected against Heartworm, Fleas and Ticks? • Potty Trained? I am happy to help train but just need to know ahead of time. • Up to date on all vaccines? • Big chewers? • Let us know if your pet has any special need or accommodation we should account for! I can accommodate a variety of needs! I am happy to provide whatever care your pet needs & make sure they are happy & comfortable in our home. A few things to know about what I offer: 100% Love and Care I take photos of your pet (I am not a professional photographer) – I will try not to overwhelm you! I do not require a meet and greet but am happy to do so. My preference is to introduce your pet(s) to mine slowly and very controlled environment. SAFETY is my #1 Concern for your pets and for mine. What to bring for your stay: Collar with a tag & leash Food (Label with the amount per meal) - Slow feeder if needed Medications, if needed Kennel (for boarding stays) - Anything to make them comfortable in their kennel (blanket, toys, bed) I generally don’t use a kennel if they are good house guests (no destruction or accidents) they can have house privileges. I will provide: Water Bowls (I have many throughout the house and outside) Foods Bowls Toys - Treats - Chew bones & treats Dog beds around the house (I have many) A Typical Day can be: Wake up and take them out to potty (I have a big, fenced back yard). Feed them breakfast Out for potty about 2 hours (or sooner) after breakfast. Relax, play and/or snooze as they want. Potty breaks are directed by their needs, they let me know they need to potty, and we go outside (I am their servant, and I stay with them while they are outside). They potty and play and then we come in. This goes on all day as needed. Cuddles on command and if they just want to lay around, I’m ok with that as well. I have taken all my dogs (past and present) through many different levels of training session – Puppy, Basic and Advanced. Let me know what you need, and I am happy to help. SPECIAL NOTE with Regard to Cats Cats do their own things and totally dictate their day to day and I respect and honor their wishes! I do have a room set up that they can call their own (if needed) and I have a secure Catio they can hang out in and enjoy fresh air. I am retired and love to help people and their pets. I have lots of free time and want to offer my knowledge and experience to people who have busy lives but want the best for their furbabies. I live on 3/4 acre and I have a large fenced in back yard. I do have a dog and 3 cats at home so any pets that need to be watched at my home need to be able to get along with them. I am dependable, trustworthy and honest and can also take care of your pets in your home. If you need to know anything else, please ask.

About: I have been around pets most of my life! I am definitely a dog person and have yet to meet a dog I couldn't be friends with, even if it takes some work. I have cared for senior dogs, puppies, for babies big and small. I am always glad to answer any questions! I am currently working full time in a clinic with a normal schedule of about 8-5 M-F. I am most comfortable with combination dog- and house-sitting so your doggo gets the most of my attention! I also pride myself on being flexible and would do my best to work together for what is best for your pet! I tend to be pretty adaptable, and prefer to take a dogs lead as well as owner’s instruction to tell what is needed and when. It's been a while, but I volunteered a at shelter a lot before going away for college and some of those tips and tricks stick with you!

“I really appreciate Hannah! I needed to hire someone last minute for my 5 furbabies, and she was more than willing. I asked if she wouldn't mind if I reached out for additional days toward the end of my trip away, and though I ended up not needing to do so, she was willing to do that as well. Additionally, my senior rottweiler mix likes to "give attitude," which can be scary if you aren't familiar with it, and Hannah handled that beautifully. She was communicative when it happened, which allowed me to message her to share what to do about it (which was to let the dog throw her fit and leave her be). I'd hire her again in a heartbeat, and probably will when I take trips in the future!”

“Brittany was on time and sent lots of pics from her drop in! Thank you!”

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!

“Lisa is always welcome here. Our Rory loves it when Lisa drops by.”

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.

About: I worked at a couple different doggy daycares starting when I was 16, and in 2022 went to KC Grooming Academy and learned to groom there! I groomed dogs for about a year before I had to resign due to scheduling conflicts with my other job. I volunteer with KC Pet Project and Missouri Pitbull Rescue, helping out with walking dogs, feeding, administering medications, cleaning duties, and much more! I have worked with dogs of all shapes and sizes, from couch potatoes to high strung working dogs! I have experience and I am comfortable with taking care of dogs with reactivity, just let me know in advance any concerns you may have. I currently work full time as an EMT on a rotating shift schedule. I will always keep my calendar up to date, and if you have any questions about availability don’t hesitate to reach out. I would love to care for your furbabies in the comfort of their own home! I am currently not providing services in my own home.

“Erin watched our kitty for a week while we were out of town for our wedding. She was such a doll and we enjoyed seeing pics everyday. Don’t hesitate to book Erin!!”
