About: With over 30 years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages and breeds, I bring a lifetime of dedication, reliability, and deep animal understanding to every visit. What sets me apart is not just my longevity in the field, but the personalized attention and calm, confident care I provide. From energetic puppies needing structure and training, to senior pets requiring patience, medication, and gentle handling—I’ve done it all. I specialize in reading animal behavior, easing anxiety in shy or rescue pets, and creating a safe, loving environment while you’re away. Your pet’s routine, health, and happiness are always my top priority. Whether it’s daily walks, overnight stays, special needs care, or just keeping your pets company, you can count on me to treat them like family—because to me, they are. Pet care is a natural and fulfilling part of my daily and weekly routine. I structure my schedule around feeding times, medication needs, play sessions, and quiet companionship, ensuring each pet receives the attention and consistency they thrive on. Whether it’s early morning visits, midday check-ins, or evening routines, I prioritize each pet’s comfort and well-being as if they were my own. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s woven into my lifestyle, bringing joy, purpose, and a calming rhythm to each day. I have a large fenced in backyard that has ample room to run and play. I also have a Great Dane who loves all animals. In my clients’ homes, I provide personalized, stress-free care that keeps pets comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely—whether that includes feeding, walks, playtime, medications, or cuddle sessions—ensuring they feel secure and cared for in your absence. I keep things tidy, stick to household rules, and maintain open communication with daily updates and photos. My goal is to create a calm, consistent presence that pets trust and look forward to, so you can travel or work worry-free knowing they’re in capable, loving hands.

“Heather works great with Rascal. Rascal recently had leash training and Heather works with him when she takes him out for his walk. Rascal is so good excited to see Heather when she comes.”

About: I have worked in the pet industry for about 6 years now. I have worked at doggie daycares in St. Louis(Williamsburg Pet Hotel) and here in Kansas City(The Collar Club) I currently work at Nestle Purina as a puppy trainer. I also volunteer at Kc pet project and take shelter dogs out for dog day outs. I have experience with all size and types of dogs. My mom currently lives on a farm with ducks, chickens, 5 dogs and 4 cats. I grew up with animals my whole life and love each and every animal as they are my own. Dogs are such amazing animals and we need them more than they truly need us. All dogs go to heaven. I am currently working full time at Purina Sunday-Wednesday. I am free Thursdays thru Saturdays. I can also do walks Sunday thru Wednesday if needed. I love working with pets In their own home. The dogs are more comfortable and feel safe in their own home. I have a chow/shepherd mix that has anxiety so I am used to dogs that struggle with new people and anxiety.

About: My husband and I just moved into a new home in the northern Kansas City area, near Liberty and about 15 minutes from the Kansas City airport. Our sweet Goldendoodle, Nike, LOVES other dogs and hasn't met too many other doggy neighbors so we figured this would be a great fit for us and for you! We absolutely love dogs and are very active - always going on runs, walks, checking out the city, or to the dog park. Our home is located near more than a few beautiful trails that we enjoy walking on. We are both home full time and are able to administer medication. We'll treat your animals just like we treat our doodle and can't wait for Nike to make some new friends!

About: I am a nurturer and a lover. I love all animals and know how hard it is to leave them. I will never be a replacement for you, but know it is important to have someone to love on your fur babies when you have to be away. I am used to dealing with high anxiety dogs and have experience with medically needy as well. I am happy to work with you on your pets needs, and make sure we are a good fit. I love to walk and play outside, but I’m also happy to snuggle up on the couch. Whatever your pet needs, we can make it work! I am used to following detailed plans, routines and instructions to make sure your absence is as easy as possible on your fur kids!

About: Hi! I’m Emily — a lifelong animal lover and experienced pet care pro. I work weekdays from 8–5, but I’m flexible and happy to collaborate on timing that works for you. Whether it’s early mornings, evenings, or weekend care, I’ll do my best to accommodate your pet’s needs. I offer drop-ins, walks, and pet adventure packages with plenty of photo updates so you never miss a tail wag or silly face. You’ll get peace of mind knowing your pets are safe, loved, and having a great time. With 7+ years in pet care (including time at a busy pet hotel) and a current home full of chaos—one dog and four cats—I’ve worked with animals of all ages, temperaments, and needs. From zoomy puppies to shy senior cats, I adjust my approach to help each pet feel seen, safe, and calm. If your pup would benefit from a social walk, my dog Charlie may join — she’s polite, playful, and great at reading other dogs’ vibes. But solo care is always available too! New to Rover, but not new to pets. I’m here to connect with your furry family and make your time away feel a little easier — for both of you. 💬 My messages are always open — reach out anytime! I work full-time during the weekdays but have a flexible schedule after 5 PM for evening walks, check-ins, or cuddles. I also have open availability every other weekend and can accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits during those times. If your pet needs a consistent routine or you have special scheduling requests, feel free to reach out—I’m happy to discuss what works best for you and your pet! Your pet’s comfort and safety are always my top priority. I believe in personalized, intuitive care—every animal is different, and I take the time to learn what works best for your furry friend. If I’m caring for pets in my home, I’ll be highly selective to ensure a good fit for both your pet and my own crew. I require a meet-and-greet in advance, so I can understand your pet’s needs, temperament, and routine—and make the proper adjustments in my home to keep everyone happy and stress-free. If I’m visiting your home, I ask for a pre-meeting with your pup, ideally including a walk and a conversation about your expectations, your pet’s routine, and any special needs. I want to make sure we’re all comfortable and on the same page before you head out. I provide calm, consistent care, always attuned to your pet’s behavior and emotional needs. Whether it’s cuddles on the couch, an energetic hike, or just some quiet company, I tailor every visit to make your pet feel safe, loved, and understood.

“Brandi came and walked my dog every day for several weeks while I was waiting for hip replacement. A definite plus for me. She varied her times around weather and the fact that my doggy gets hot if the sun is too much (she came in the evening).”

About: I’ve loved animals and have had fur babies throughout my whole life. I will treat your puppers like their mine and give them all the love and care they need. Im currently working from home while studying to be a vet therefore I will be able to provide for all your dogs wants and needs. My dogs are treated better than we treat ourselves😂, they're allowed on the bed, couch and get plenty of belly rubs and playtime all day! Your dogs will get spoiled and loved here!

About: I’ve been pet sitting for over 5 years. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each animal’s unique personality and making sure they feel just as loved and comfortable as my own two dogs. I’m very patient, so if your pet is shy or a bit energetic on the leash, that’s no problem—we’ll take things at their pace! I currently work part-time remotely, which gives me plenty of flexibility to help care for your pet! I'm available Monday through Friday from 8 AM to 4 PM, and I’m happy to adjust those hours if you need care a little earlier or later. I have a strong attention to detail, so you can trust that I’ll carefully follow any instructions you leave to ensure your pet’s routine is kept just the way they like it.

About: I’ve been caring for cats and dogs for over 20 years, and each one has taught me something new about patience, love, and the joy of companionship. Whether it’s a playful pup or a shy cat, I meet animals where they’re at — with kindness, attentiveness, and respect. I don’t just “watch” pets, I treat them like my own friends: making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for every step of the way. As a stay-at-home parent with a supportive and loving partner, I have plenty of time to spend ensuring that your beloved animals receive the maximum amount of care and attention. With extremely flexible hours, and plenty of open days, I can ensure you that your fur babies will have my complete and total loving attention. I don’t offer care in my home since I have an elderly cat with special health needs and an unneutered dog. This ensures my focus stays fully on your pet in their own safe, familiar environment.

About: My name is Nikki and I am a stay at home mom! I recently lost my 11 year old dog, and am now looking to care for some dogs (and cats) in my spare time. I will treat your animals as if they were my own. I love dogs and would enjoy walking dogs and checking in on cats. I love to be outside. I always grew up with dogs and cats. I have always helped take care of them. I hope to hear from you soon! I am free most weekdays and weekends in the evening and early mornings.

I will always respect your space and make sure your animal(s) are well cared for!!

About: My dog is my best friend; we do everything together. If you choose me to be responsible for your pet, that pet will get the love and attention it deserves as YOUR best friend. During walks with your furry friend I can keep gentle control of a troublemaker and keep a good pace with any dog, fast or slow. If you choose me to drop in and visit your pet, I will make that visit the best part of mine and your animal’s day. If you need a house-sitter while you’re away - don’t worry at all, your pet(s) and home are in good hands. I house-sat for my neighbor with four cats on and off for three years. I would love to get to know your pets!

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my unwavering dedication to the well-being of each pet. I have experience in providing compassionate care for senior dogs, making sure they are comfortable and happy. My love and respect for animals drive me to go above and beyond to meet their needs. Pet care is an integral part of my daily routine. Every morning, I start by feeding them followed by a walk or playtime to ensure they get exercise. Throughout the day, I make sure they have fresh water and check on them regularly to ensure they are comfortable and happy. In the evenings, I spend quality time with them, reinforcing training and providing affection. On weekends, I often take them on longer walks and outing. When caring for pets in my clients' homes, I stick to their usual routines to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I ensure they are fed on time, have fresh water, and get plenty of exercise through walks and playtime. I also provide lots of affection and attention, and I am diligent about cleaning up after them to keep the home tidy. Additionally, I keep an eye out for any signs of health issues and provide any necessary medications or special care as instructed by the owner.
