“Erin has been a very responsible caretaker. I give her very good ratings. Hopefully she can be a repeat sitter while I'm kennel training a new puppy. Erin did wonderful.”
About: I am new to the KC area and looking to start doing Rover again. I take pride in doing a job well done. I vow to treat your furry friend as my own. I am currently working a full time job but would be interested in doing Rover on the weekends. Dog walking or drop in visits preferably. I am comfortable with going to your home. I live in an apartment but have a front yard. I love to go on walks and I love dogs.
“Eva did great! She dropped in twice to walk and feed my dog, Draco. She was super easy to work with and Draco was happy as ever when I came home! I definitely recommend Eva!”
“Grace was absolutely wonderful with Mia Peluche! She took such great care of her while we were away for the weekend. Mia immediately felt comfortable and happy around her, which says a lot—she’s usually very picky! Grace kept us updated and treated Mia like family. We came home to a relaxed, well-cared-for pup. I would definitely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving and responsible pet sitter.”
“Jane is great with my little Yorkie mix. He is older and needs someone that is patient and understanding- tailoring his activity level to what he wants/needs. I can tell Jane really loves animals and is very caring - just who I was looking for! I will definitely be hiring her again!”
“Joann was fantastic! She exceeded our expectations by being conscientious about our cats' needs. I was also happy that she took care of our garbage even though she didn't have to. I'm sure our cats would love to see her again.”
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!”
About: I'm comfortable with dogs of all sizes and breeds, understanding that each animal has unique needs and a distinct personality. My approach is patient and gentle, especially with anxious pets, helping them feel safe and secure. I am currently a freshman at Johnson County Community College playing women’s soccer. I have morning training at 9 and occasionally a 2pm one. I would love to help you out with your furry friend throughout the day and in between my schedule! When caring for pets, my top priorities are safety, trust, and creating a nurturing environment. I maintain a clean and sanitized space, reducing the risk of illness and ensuring a comfortable stay. Regular exercise and playtime are essential, keeping pets physically active and mentally stimulated, tailored to their individual energy levels and preferences. I strictly adhere to specific dietary instructions, understanding the importance of a consistent and healthy diet for each pet's well-being. Constant supervision and companionship are a given, offering pets the attention and security they need to feel at ease. To further enhance their comfort, I stick to a consistent routine, which helps reduce anxiety and provides a sense of normalcy. Whether in my home or a client's, these practices ensure a safe, trustworthy, and happy environment for every pet under my care.
“Jill did a great job watching my dog Pepe while I was on vacation. I had her do drop-in visits. She communicates to you and sends you texts msgs & pictures to you everyday so you know how your dog is doing. I gave her a bit of a challenge because Pepe is blind. Plus he was on the tail end of his medication. Jill made sure he took all of medication. When I got back, Pepe was very happy and wagging his tail! He was even still looking for her! I recommend Jill. Thank you Jill! 😊🐶🐾 7/19/24”
About: I have grown up with many animals such as dogs, cats, and horses. Taking care of these pets has led to my passion and love of all animals. As a student who now lives in an apartment, I want to be able to share my love for animals while helping others out, exercising, clearing my mind from my studies, and loving on pets. I am in occupational therapy school throughout the week. So I have a lot of free time when I am not in class, and my schedule may vary. I love exercising and want to be able to give your pet more exercise as well. I have a lot of experience walking and running throughout Kansas City and am well aware of the environment and safety. I want to be able to incorporate this while helping you care for your animal.
“Delaney was great and made us feel so comfortable leaving our pups last minute. He sent us photos and communicated really well, even letting us know when he was concerned about a car staying outside our house (turned out to be one of our employees picking something up at our house).”
