“Nicholas did an AMAZING job watching our little dachshund Moo and our apartment when we went away for a week to Hawaii! He did everything we asked and much more! Nicholas is so nice and so professional and I would recommend him to anyone! He is now our go-to dog/house sitter!”

“Hannah did a great job with in-home sitting for our cats. She was reliable, easy to communicate, neat, and left our cats well cared for. She communicated with me during the stay and sent picture and video updates. We will not hesitate to use her again if we need another sitter.”

“We are so grateful to Alyssa for taking such good care of Sophie. We left her for the 1st time in 6 years, and Alyssa took wonderful care of her and kept us at ease every day with updates and pictures. Sophie isn't easy, and she is like our child, so trust me when I say that you can trust Alyssa with your fur baby. We will not hesitate to call Alyssa when we go anywhere again, and now we have the peace of mind to make future plans!”


“Sydney loves Niko like he is her own pet and it is obvious! He is always excited to have her “sleepover.” I can enjoy my time away knowing that Niko is safe and is having just as much fun as I am. It is wonderful knowing that he is getting all the love, snuggles, and playtime he wants and needs. Thank you Sydney and Rover!! ??”

“Casey was great! One of our furbabies needs a lot of meds throughout the day. She gave us lots of updates and sent pictures which made us feel at ease while away! We definitely recommend her!”

“A fantastic sitter who truly goes above and beyond. During a storm, a tree blocked our road, and she and her partner helped clear it—an incredibly kind and unexpected gesture. She also took the initiative to restock our dog food, which saved us a trip after a long vacation. The dogs were happy and well-cared for, and we loved the photo updates. We'll definitely be booking with her again! Both of these options highlight the incredible things Lillian did, focusing on her proactive nature and the peace of mind she gave you. They also end on a positive note that makes it easy for other dog owners to see why she's a great choice.”


About: Hello everyone, I recently graduated from the University of Michigan school of Dentistry and just began my residency here in Kansas City. As a double Wolverine, Go Blue!! Growing up I had a German Shephard and have two Yorkies although they currently live with my parents. I miss them every day so I am looking to direct my love and care towards your lucky dog(s)! I have dog sat for friends and family before and work regularly for Wag maintaining a 5-star rating. I have had plenty of people tell me I am very good with dogs, which inspired me to get involved with providing these sort of services for local dog owners. I am a fairly athletic individual so I enjoy playful dogs and am willing to put in the work to make sure they get the exercise they need. Additionally, I love making sure all dogs receive sufficient affection to aid their emotional development. Our furry friends positively contribute to uplifting our mental health, so I believe they deserve to be held in such importance and treated with respect. Sincerely, Torrey My residency will keep me busy 9-5 every day. I have no problem staying at your residence, having done many house sittings throughout my care career. I typically let my pupper visitors sleep or hang out wherever I am as long as they do no shed profusely and it aligns with their home experience.
“Galileo was prompt and communicative. She did a wonderful job watching our pup and sent us pictures for our peace of mind. She left the house neat and tidy. Will definitely recommend her and use her again in the future!”

“Katelyn did a wonderful job taking care of our elderly dog while we were away for a long weekend. She was very diligent and we had clear communication throughout. I highly recommend her for pet sitting.”

“Ashley does an outstanding job! She took care of our 4 dogs and sent pictures of them while we were away. She even brought in packages that were delivered. Very sweet young lady.”

“Ivanis did everything this rather nervous owner asked. She even made two trips to get familiar with Piper and everything went well. I recommend without hesitation.”

“Candice did a fantastic job with my pup Bo. By the pictures sent to me he appeared to be having a blast. Once she left he was one tired pup. He went to the bedroom to lay down and I hardly heard a peep out of him the rest of the day/night. Thanks for making his day fun!”

“Lily kept our sweet dog in our home and did a great job. She sent pics and kept us updated. We felt so relieved to have found her and had a great trip knowing our dog was in such good hands. Would highly recommend her.”

“Kennedy did a great job with four big, energetic dogs-even the timid one likes her! She took care of them over a weekend. She communicated well and kept everything clean. I would definitely book with her again.”


“Kim was amazing! She was very communicative and always sent pics and kept us worry free! Definitely would recommend and will use again! Thanks Kim!”

About: I love dogs! I have always had a dog (or multiple!) in my life and have dealt with every problem imaginable. Whether big or small, a young puppy or an older sweetheart senior, it would be a pleasure for me to help others out with your dogs too! I know I would be able to provide the best care for your furry friend. Right now, I’m in a flexible stage of life where I should have time available all week. Mid-day works especially well, but again can work with what you need. Whatever routines, necessities, or even quirks you use in your home, I’m happy to do the same! I want you to feel secure and satisfied.
“Nicole was fantastic! She was super-reliable to make arrangements with, and she took wonderful care of our dog and two cats and our home, making it all work between her classes. She’s a treasure!”
