“Rio was wonderful with my 2 doodles. One of my dogs is a huge (100 pound) fraidy cat - afraid of everything but Rio showed patience with her and took the time needed for her to warm up. I appreciate her dropping in for a last minute booking. Prompt response time and great communication- Highly recommend!”

“We had an amazing experience with Laura this weekend! She took wonderful care of our dog, Greta, and made sure she was happy and loved while we were away. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about Greta’s well-being. We’re so grateful for her help and wouldn’t hesitate to book her again. Highly recommend!”

“Heather is so wonderful and kind to our fur-babies! She knows just what they need and what will make them happy. We fully trust her with their safety and happiness. Love her!!”

“Robin is so sweet and our Bear just does so well with her. He is usually very shy, but seems to have warmed up to her quite easily. We can't thank Robin enough for the time she spends with him nd the care she gives.”

“Makayla, always does a great job with our two pups and cat. Our cat has special healthcare needs and she has made sure she gets the meds she needs. Our dogs absolutely love when she comes over. We will be using her for our pet’s care as long as we can!”

“Kaitlyn is a great communicator, especially concerning issues she encountered while taking care of my two cats. One is very shy with new people and wouldn't come out to eat. Together we figured out a solution that worked. She arrived on time for each visit and managed to not set off our alarm. Always a plus, lol.”

About: We have been pet owners all our lives until recently. We have experience looking after dogs and cats. We would love to fill the gap by helping you out with pet sitting needs. Your fur baby will be treated as part of our family! My husband and I work full time, some days from home. My work is just few minutes away so I am able do potty breaks and walk during lunch. Our schedules are flexible and we can adapt to your needs. We currently don't have any pets at the house. Our yard not fenced but the neighborhood is very dog friendly with a little nature trail for walks.
About: I’ve been the go to pet sitter for family members and friends. Whether it’s keeping them company for a couple hours to just stopping by to let them out and check their food/water to watching them for multiple days. I work full time and don’t have the ability to work from home. On weekdays after 5pm I’m free to hang out with your pups! During the weekend I have more flexibility to watch or check on your pets. I don’t have any pets and currently live in an apartment complex. There is a lot of open grass space around my apartment complex and is in a good area to walk in. If you prefer your pup be in a crate if I have to leave that will need to be provided, but as long as they are house trained I have no problem with your dog free-roaming my apartment.
“Makes the extra effort. Extremely kind! Helped take out a snake from my home while I was gone and letting my pups out! She’s tougher than me! Been using her for awhile now and not one complaint! Highly recommend!”

“First time having to use a pet sitter & Rover and Gaby was amazing. I’ve never left my dog with anyone so it was nice that they came over before I left, to make sure he’s familiar with them. Communication was open and clear and I loved the pictures and check ins with the report cards. If I ever have to go out of town again, I’ll definitely be using Gaby in the future.”

“Brandi is top notch in my opinion. Every time she has came over she makes it a point to spend time with my dog and keep on furthering the good manners I’m trying to teach her. I’d recommend here to everyone!!”

“Stephanie was an absolute ROCKSTAR! She provided an extremely high level of care to our two cats, who are suspicious of people. By the end, they were cuddling in her lap. The cats were provided with daily clean food, water, litter, treats and play time/snuggles. I’m pretty sure they were more disappointed to see her go vs us be home again. :) Thank you again Stephanie for the daily updates and photo slideshows to brighten our day. You eased my nerves, I had never left on vacation yet with our kitties, and it was the best time for kitties and myself!”

About: The Professional Pet Caregiver 🌟 About Me & My Experience My love for animals started at a young age. Dogs, cats, guinea pigs, hedgehogs and rabbits were just a few of the different animals I grew up owning and loving. Professionally I was able to pursue my love of animals, attending NWMSU majoring in Animal Science, obtaining my Master's and have now been an animal health professional with 10+ years of experience in the veterinary industry, clinical research, and regulatory compliance. Through my experiences, I've maintained a high level of technical knowledge and clinical expertise across multiple animal species. What this means for your pet: Expert Medical Knowledge: I have professional experience caring for farm animals, poultry, dogs, cats, and small exotic animals. I'm comfortable administering medications, adhering to different diet needs and medical conditions. If your pet requires precise medication or special care, I can handle it with confidence and accuracy. 🏡 Services & Care Philosophy I am committed to treating your fur baby like family while leveraging my extensive professional background to ensure their complete health and safety. As an owner of many different animals, I understand how tough it is to leave them any period of time. Under my care, you can be sure they will be loved and pampered! With my gaggle of animals, pet care is around the clock! With two small boys, we thrive in chaos and adapting to different changes or needs. Whether you need someone to drop by to check on your animals or you would rather your animals come stay at our home, we are there for you! We have a fenced approximately 1 acre back yard that is sectioned off if your dog prefers to not interact with mine. In my younger years I fostered animals for a local rescue (MARQ in Raytown). My pack is very used to interacting with new visitors. We have 6 dogs, ranging in size from a 10lb cocker spaniel to a 100lb Great Dane, and 3 cats.
“My dogs can be a lil on the hyper side and she handled them so well! She was very nice and took great care of my doggos. I would definitely ask Abigail to care for them again in the future.”

“Chigozirim did a great job coming and taking care of my cat. She gave him lots of cuddles and did everything I asked. I would recommend her, if you need someone to drop in on your pet 😊”
