“Lindsey was overall amazing. This was our first time using Rover and Lindsey made us feel so comfortable and confident. She went above and beyond, scheduled a meet-up, asked great questions, and fully delivered on care. We have a cat that has diabetes and I knew Lindsey would take great care in administering his insulin. I’m so glad we booked her!”
“Debbie did a drop-in on my ~3 month puppy while I was at work and took great care of my doggo. She left lots of good details after the visit, and was thoughtful enough to note specific things she knew I was worried about (no crate messes, pup was good about not jumping, etc.). Will definitely book Debbie again in the future!!”
“Valerie was great with Decker while we were away on vacation. I appreciated her daily updates and pics. It was clear from the meet & greet that Decker liked Valerie and her pics confirmed he was more than comfortable with her and appreciated her belly rubs. Would definitely recommend Valerie!!”
“Joann has checked on my kitties multiple times now and I highly recommend her care! She is patient, attentive, and flexible—I never worry how things are going when we are away.”
“Casey did great with our puppy while we were away out of town. She was very good at updating us and sending pictures. She went above and beyond taking him to a dog park and multiple walks. I would highly recommend Casey if you are looking for someone to watch your dog while you are away!”
About: Hi, I’m Katie! I’ve had dogs my whole life and volunteered in dog shelters for years. As a kid, I annotated my dog encyclopedia and woke up at 5 am on Saturdays to watch the AKC dog show, so in addition to loving mutts & shelter dogs, I also have a good understanding of breed nuances and distinct needs. I’m extremely detailed and will take care to notice if I’m putting your dog’s leash on in a comfortable way, if I got the gate closed, and all the little things you notice when it’s your own pet. I continually educate myself on dog body language and first aid in addition to detailed training I received from Humane Colorado shelter and my Red Cross pet first aid certification. Your pet will be treated with love and meticulous care, with the goal being to leave them happy and played out, ready for a nap! I am self-employed with 24/7 flexibility and control over my own schedule, so I’m available to accommodate whatever custom scheduling needs you may have for your precious pets! When visiting or staying with someone’s pet, I treat the home and animal how I would want mine treated, with integrity and a dedication to leave all things better than I found them. I check fences and gates for any weak points, avoid other dogs on walks, pay attention to their favorite lounging and “neighborhood watch” spots, and allow them to show me what they want and need. I provide detailed photos & reports, and interact with enormous amounts of love and sincerity just like I’d hope my own would be treated with. Trust is everything. You can count on me!
“Emily is so good with my dogs. One dog wouldn’t come out of the kennel for a couple others but loves Emily :) She helps me out when I’m at work for a long time and it brings so much peace of mind.”
“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!”
“Jill did a wonderful job taking care of my two cats while I was out of town for a wedding. She was very communicative and sent lots of photos. She also did a great job caring for my one cat’s medical needs by administering his insulin twice a day and making sure everyone was healthy and happy. Would recommend!”
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.
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!
“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).”
