House Sitting Smithville

“My dog isn’t comfortable just meeting anyone. After meeting Patty, Galen fell very comfortable and was quickly gave her kisses. I immediately knew she would be a perfect fit. During my travels she provide daily updates. She was very responsive to my concerns. During my travels, knowing I’d be returning after 10pm, we had agreed she would stay till about 7pm. Once I arrived in my connecting city, it appeared I may miss my connection and she was more than willing to wait to see if I made my flight. Thankfully, I made my flight and back home to my pets. They both appeared happy to see me, but I could tell they were both comfortable during my departure. Thank you Patty and I’m relieved should I need to travel again that you’ll be here for me. ❤️”

“We have used Rover for many years and Stephanie stands out from the rest. We cannot recommend her enough! She watched our two girls at our house for a week while we were out of town, and within the first day or two, a storm knocked huge tree branches from our neighbor’s yard into ours. She handled it without missing a beat, pivoting quickly to keep our girls safe the entire time. She stayed in communication, sent photos regularly, and gave us complete peace of mind throughout the whole trip. I can tell they miss her today but luckily she will be around for drop-ins as well! She also left our house in beautiful condition. She’s the absolute best but please leave some of her time for us 🤣🤣. Thanks, Stephanie!!”

“We wanted someone to watch our dogs on the 4th of July because our dog gets scared of fireworks. We had never left him before for the 4th, but Alyssa did such an amazing job being there for our doggos!! She kept us updated with pictures and did a tremendous job!”

Shelby R.

“Lilly was so great! She kept me updated with photos and stayed responsive throughout the stay. She left my home as she found it and even took the trash out! There was a crazy storm during her stay and she assured me the pups were safe and well cared for. Would love to use Lilly again!”

“Sydney was a wonderful house/pet sitter and I would recommend her to anyone. I was very comfortable knowing our pets were well taken care of and she took better care of our home than we do 😂”

“I cannot recommend Jason enough as a dog sitter! From the moment we met, he made me feel completely comfortable leaving Dax in his care. Jason was incredibly accommodating and went above and beyond to ensure both Dax and I had peace of mind. He kept me updated with plenty of photos and videos, which showed just how much Dax loved his time with Jason—especially all the playtime! It's clear Jason truly cares about the dogs he watches. If you're looking for someone reliable, attentive, and genuinely kind, Jason is your person. Dax and I are so grateful for him!”

About: I have taken care of animals for the past 15 years, and have dog and cat watched though out the years. I used to have my own dog walking business. I am currently a college student at the University of Missouri working a part time job and I’m also involved in a few clubs in my community. I have time in the early mornings and later afternoons to watch and walk your fur babies! I pay close attention to pets and make sure all needs are met. I put pets first and like to keep them happy, clean, and safe at all times. Please let me know any additional details or facts about your fur baby so I can make that possible!!

“Karen did a great job housesitting over two nights for us! We had peace of mind knowing Beefy was getting all the care and attention she needed with updates and photos. Karen left the house nice and tidy and was very responsive while we were away. We’ll definitely be booking her again!”

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life, raising my first puppy on my family farm at 10 years old. Since then, I’ve worked professionally in a boarding facility where I supervised group play, monitored behavior, and made sure every dog stayed safe and comfortable. I also have hands-on experience in a shelter environment, working with animals of all temperaments, including shy, reactive, and high-energy. This has taught me how to read body language, build trust, and adjust care to each individual’s needs. I focus on creating calm, enriching experiences for all kinds of animals, whether that’s a structured walk, playtime, or just giving your pet the patience and attention they deserve. Please let me know if you have any questions in booking me for your next walk or stay! Caring for animals is something I intentionally build into my weekly rhythm. I am typically available Monday through Saturday and have a flexible, open schedule, so I can give pets the time and consistency they need throughout the day. I also run my own art business, which allows me to work independently and stay flexible. This means i’m able to be fully present for each visit, whether that’s a long walk, playtime, or a calm check-in for more sensitive pets. I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment in every home I enter. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, boundaries, and body language so I can care for them in a way that feels familiar and low-stress. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of both the space and the pet’s established routine. I’m especially mindful with shy or reactive animals, giving them patience, space, and gentle consistency to build trust. My experience in boarding and shelter environments has taught me how to read behavior, prevent conflicts, and create a safe, secure environment for pets of all temperaments.

“Emma stayed with my cat Patrick for a week while I was in another state for work. Patrick needs some special attention and takes daily medication. She did a great job making sure he was taking care of and comfortable! Additionally, she communicated with me well and made sure to send me some pictures every day!”

“Dianna is great. She loves my dogs and goes above and beyond when caring for them.”

“Brandi was wondering, during our initial meet & greet Gunner warmed up to her immediately. We went over my expectations & she asked if I would like updates & pictures, what a great way to let me know Gunner is all good! Everything went great, I loved the pics, my house was the way I left it, and Gunner was happy! I will definitely be using her again! 100% would recommend Brandi! Thank you!”

Susan P.

“Jenna was great. Super communicative, very attentive during the meet and greet, and sent regular updates for both my pets. I would definitely have her house sit again!”

Angela G.

“Isa was fantastic with my two dogs! She was reliable, easy to communicate with, and sent adorable pictures. I came home to happy, relaxed pups and a clean house. It was awesome having peace of mind while I was gone. I’d definitely book again and highly recommend her for your trips too!”

Alexandra L.

“Jennifer was fantastic! Bill had a blast with her and she kept the house in great shape. Would highly recommend having Jennifer watch your pets / house!”

“Adrienne is wonderful! We were skeptical of this process, as we've always, in the past, been fortunate to use family in our home to care for our pet. Our furbaby, Stella, requires daily medication and special attention due to being a nervous nellie. She quickly fell in love with Adrienne, as she could sense the genuine love she had for her. Adrienne went above and beyond, taking Stella on extra walks, shared extra time with her outside, followed our fine detailed lengthy notes on Stella's routine and care perfectly, and she left our home just as she found it. If you're looking for someone who will love and care for your pet as if it were their own, Adrienne is the person!”

“Olivia did a great job taking care of our Hank while we were away for a couple of days. He got plenty of exercise and kept to his routine. Thanks Olivia!”

About: My family grew up with animals since I was a child and I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for as long as I can remember! I love to play with both animals and give as much care as needed. I have experience with puppies/kittens all the way through senior dogs/cats as well as with crating pets. I am dedicated to giving your pets the best care possible by following your specifications and with lots of love! I’m currently working part time and am free to walk or check in with your four legs most often during the weekdays, during work hours! The safety and happiness of your pets is my number one priority! I do not offer boarding, however I have plenty of experience with crating animals. I always introduce myself to your animal first and allow them to get to know me before I will walk them or play with them! I can offer walks, play-time, a quick check-in/bathroom break, or whatever else you may need. I am happy to keep you informed while I care for your pets through occasional updates as well!

“We have had multiple dog sitters stay at our house since moving to KC a few years ago, Rhonda is our absolute favorite! Our dogs are so happy everytime we get back and the house is always exactly how we left it.”

“Kaitlin is phenomenal! She took excellent care of our fur babies while we were traveling. She followed instructions and reached out with extra considerations. We felt secure knowing our pups (and home) were in good hands. We would absolutely recommend her to others.”
