House Sitting in The Elm, Wichita, KS

“Kyra was available for us last minute and did so great with our dog, Jenny. Jenny had no issues having Kyra come stay with her. Kyra communicated well with us, was very friendly and super easy to deal with. Would use her again.”

Jill

“Was awesome with our dogs! Great communicator and was very flexible and able to adjust with all of our needs. She left our place cleaner and better than she found it! Would absolutely use her again :)”

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life. I grew up with an orange tabby cat who taught me the basics of daily pet care from a young age. In high school, my family adopted a snorkie, and I’ve helped care for him for the past 12 years—everything from daily walks and playtime to grooming and giving medications. I’ve also had my own cat for the past seven years, and through his renal issues I’ve become very familiar with the early signs of urinary blockages, bladder stones, and the importance of special diet management. Because of this, I’m extremely attentive to subtle behavior changes and comfortable supporting pets with chronic or sensitive medical needs. I treat every pet like family, and I’m committed to providing safe, reliable, and compassionate care. I am a medical student who spends several hours a day studying, making my schedule perfect for house sitting and using study breaks to take dogs on walks. I have class every week day from 8-12 so I can do anytime after that. Unfortunately, I am unable to do Thursdays due to long lecture and lab times. When your pet is with me, they’re treated like my own. I’m really big on keeping things safe, calm, and consistent so your pet can settle in and feel comfortable. I pay close attention to routines, behavior, and any little changes—especially since I’m used to managing my own cat’s medical needs. I’m super reliable and I always follow instructions exactly how you give them. You’ll get plenty of updates and photos so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. Whether it’s sticking to a schedule, handling special diets, or just giving them extra love and attention, I make sure your pet is safe, happy, and well-cared for the entire time.

“We happily rebooked with Emily after she took such great care of our dog the last time we went out of town! This time was no different- she is very attentive to our dog’s schedule and always makes sure she gets lots of love and playtime. We will definitely be repeat customers!”

“Kayley is the best! She checked in with me often, took great care of the home and was patient with my high anxiety Theo. He had an accident in the house and she took care of it all and even brought her cleaner from home to help pick it all up. I can’t recommend her enough. Thank you!!!”

Donald W.

“! Great experience from start to finish. The meet and greet before our trip made us feel so comfortable leaving, and during our time away she provided lots of updates, was respectful of our home, and clearly cared for our pets as if they were her own. Would definitely book again!”

Brooklynn W.

“Kary went above and beyond for our pups. She sent lots of updates and came to our house to meet our dogs to ensure it would be a good fit and go over our routines. Kary is wonderful!”

Magaly L.

“Great with communication! Felt secure with my first time using Rover. Dogs were well cared for and Elise went above and beyond when a storm hit by picking up all the broken branches! We are grateful she was there with our paw family during the storm. Thank you Elise!”

“Mandy did great under challenging circumstances. This was our first time using a sitter since getting the dog from the Humane Society a year ago, and the dog took us by surprise with stranger anxiety - not wanting to be touched or approached and urine accidents. I take the blame - In hindsight I should have arranged trial stay(s) many months in advance of our weeklong trip, not just a meet and greet a week in advance. Mandy handled it well. She persevered despite the accidents and communicated candidly with me about how the dog was reacting and problem-solved with me. She figured out how to let the dog out without approaching it, and kept both the dog and cat fed and watered, though walks were not possible. She even came to let the dog out over lunch on weekdays, which was above and beyond our original agreement. The cat loved Mandy - I thought the cat would be the one wary of strangers, and she let Mandy pet her by mid-week. Mandy was very tidy and conscientious and left the house in great condition. She even set out my bait when ants started coming in. Huge appreciation to Mandy.”

“Misty took such phenomenal care of our pets! She sent regular updates and pics that showed the pets both happy and being themselves, and she spent lots of time with them every day. When we arrived home, both our pets were calm, well fed, and happy. I could tell that she had done a great job not just meeting all their needs but also giving them affection and helping them feel safe while we were traveling. So thankful that we were able to leave our pets in such good hands!”

Catherine M.

“Thankyou sooo much again harbor loved you! Nisa was able to provide us so much comfort in leaving our brand new adopted pup for the day !! Thankyou so much for coming and spending time with her and sending us pics throughout the day :)”

Meghan K.

“Very pleased with the care she provided as we went on our cruise. Definitely would recommend Ashlen and hope to be able to work with her again on future trips out of town”

John H.

“Addy was amazing with Kora! She took the time to understand her needs and worked with them. Would recommend!”

About: I’m exceptional in training puppies, cats and dogs. If necessary I can discipline although I prefer positive encouragement towards good behaviour with rewards. I love teaching commands using an animals favourite treat or a clicker, whichever is more effective. When it comes to older animals it’s critical for me to be aware of and understand their history. Dietary restrictions, sleeping/eating habits, medication and application processes, etc. I love all animals but ultimately will treat them as family with the love and support they each deserve. I’m currently working as a part time Youth Director at a local church so I have plenty of time throughout my days to play with and care for your furrr babies. My main goal currently is to fill in the gaps of my day to day with joy and happiness that only pets can bring. We all need something to look forward too to make life enjoyable and for me right now that’s figuring out how to play with as many animals as possible to make sure they’re all loved while you’re away. Our home has as expansive enclosed back yard for dogs to run around in and play or simply take a potty break. Our living room and kitchen area are great open places for cats to explore and the basement is very clean and comfortable as well. Although, I prefer to go to a cats home instead because as you know being a cat owner most cats dislike change of environments or any change in general for that matter. When it comes to walks I like to take as many precautions as viable. Dog parks are available and accessible more so during the day. There are plenty of nearby parks in my neighbourhood as well as bike paths and sidewalks. I’m open to any suggestions for locations or preferred methods of transportation as some animals dislike car rides so a simple walk around the block would suffice. I take any and all advice seriously when it comes to the attention and care of your animal.

About: I have cared for dogs for over 10 years, both family and friends pets. I am a huge animal lover and enjoy getting my exercise through dog walking! I currently have 2 dogs myself and enjoy spending every moment I can with them! I’m available most weekends and weekdays after 4 pm when needed. I can travel to your house when requested and am flexible as needed throughout your pets care! I have experience walking all sizes of dogs and can care for different sizes as well. I am flexible with feeding schedules and well as medicine or daily play time.

About: I grew up taking care of indoor/outdoor cats, and outdoor hunting dogs. I have 3 cats of my own currently and often sit for family and friends’ pets. I am currently in between jobs, so my availability is open to care for your pet. I am happy to do weekends, and can stay overnight if needed. Pet care will need to happen in your home, as my home is not suitable for boarding. I am comfortable with walking and crating and I am respectful while in someone else’s home.

“Emily was amazing and our animals loved her! We have one dog that is extra guarded and Emily was very patient and willing to come over multiple times before the sitting to make sure he was comfortable. She gave us great updates and really gave us peace of mind while we were away from our fur babies!!”

Christopher L.

“She was absolutely amazing! A dog whisperer. My babies loved her and she went above and beyond. Will definitely book again. 10/10 recommend”

Jana C.

“Emily took great care of my elderly dog! She sent me updates on their adventures and responded in good time. I didn’t have to worry about Misty and that put me at ease while I was away!”

Kylie B.

“Kyelene got a 5 star rating from our household! The girls, (2 dogs and a cat) were in very good hands. After meeting Kyelene, I knew our dogs would be in very good hands. We got pictures sent to us which was nice. The house was as clean as I left it which I appreciated. I would highly recommend Kyelene for your houesitting/dogsitting needs.”
