Pet Sitting in Topeka

“Kelly did such a good job that the cats took a while to decide we were OK when we got back! She is an exceptional cat sitter. Mike and Sally”

“Kelby is a real pro and took amazing care of our kitties! She was very communicative and the daily updates gave us peace of mind that our cats were in good hands while we were out of town. We will 100% be reaching out to her the next time we need a cat sitter. Thank you, Kelby!”

“This was our first time using Lydia, Bentley has a consistent sitter but she wasn't available this time. Lydia was prompt with replying and came to meet Bentley the same day of requesting a sitter. She accepted the job with such short notice and was very accommodating. She was so patient with Bentley on her first visit, he took some time to warm up but she gave him time to get comfortable. This was amazing. I will be using her in the future again. Thanks again for taking care of my sweet boy 💙”

“Ashley is amazing with my playful, young golden retriever. I have great trust with her, as I typically have her stop by the house in the afternoon/evenings to give Dixie a potty break (+ providing some extra playtime and cuddles!!). Ashley is very responsive to my messages and is great at communicating. I greatly appreciate her pictures of Dixie while I’m away too. So thankful for all of her help!”

“Anita was so great and patient with my shy cat, Yoda. She took the time Yoda needed to feel comfortable with her and moved at Yoda’s speed. The anxiety and guilt I had about leaving my cat alone for many days was eased knowing she was in good hands with Anita. I also got the most thoughtful and thorough details of how each visit went!”

“Hannah was very friendly, flexible, and easy to work with. She dropped in to feed and spend time with my kitten while I was out of town was very easy to communicate with throughout the whole process.”

About: I have years of experience caring for pets of every kind. I've dog sat and cared for cats and dogs many times for friends over the years. I have three cats of my own I care for daily. I feed, brush, play with them, and provide them with veterinary care. I am available for regular check-ins daily, providing walks, playtime, feeding, etc. I am available Sunday, but only after 12pm. I am available early afternoon 11am-4pm and late evening 6-11pm Unfortunately at this time I do not have the space or luxury of providing boarding for pets as I live with other pets and people. I want your pets to feel most comfortable and safe in their own space. I am more than willing to learn all their wants and needs, all the special things they love about their space and home to give them the best and most comfortable care for them.

“Nadia continues to give amazing care to my cats! She always makes sure to get the latest updates on how they are doing and how well they take their medicine. If your pets have certain needs, know that Nadia will make sure to fully understand them, respect them and see that they are carried out.”

“Second time booking with Mike and Jennifer and we are always happy to have them come check on our cats and so are they. Will continue to request them as I can!”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and have always loved being around animals. I have experience walking dogs and have also done overnight pet sitting for both dogs and cats from time to time. I’m reliable, patient, and treat every pet like my own—with love, attention, and care. I’m comfortable and confident with dogs of all kinds—big or small, shy or energetic—and always prioritize their safety and happiness. I’m a student-athlete at Washburn and also work part-time, but I always make time for pet care because I truly enjoy it. My schedule is flexible around classes and work, especially in the mornings, evenings, and weekends. I’m great at planning ahead and will always make sure your pet gets the attention they deserve. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or at a client’s, their safety and comfort always come first. I follow any instructions carefully, keep a clean and calm environment, and make sure pets feel loved and secure. I take time to build trust with each animal and always respect their routine and space.

About: I have been dealing with dogs and other animals my whole life and I feel very confident in my ability to take care of them without struggle. I am a part-time college student, which leaves a lot of spare time to take care of whatever the animal may need and still maintain a healthy work-life balance. I will make sure to follow the instructions left to me by the owner and provide updates if needed. Also, I’ll make sure that when you return to your pet that they will be a happy and taken care of animal.

About: I’ve been a lifelong animal lover and have been caring for pets since childhood. I grew up with both cats and dogs, including a Maltese, and currently share my home with an Australian Shepherd–Brittany Spaniel mix and my cat Josie. I have rescued two former outdoor/stray cats who I named Mabel and Astrid. One lives with my Grandpa while the other was given to my cousin! My favorite side-quests are animal rescuing! 😄 Alongside this, I’ve raised puppies and kittens of all ages, cared for senior pets, given medication, and even rescued a squirrel once (my ultimate side quest!). As said, I’ve occasionally helped strays by feeding and socializing them over the years, which has taught me patience, gentleness, and how to read animal body language. Professionally, I work in the behavioral health field, with over five years in Applied Behavioral Analysis as a behavior tech and a year as a mental health therapist student. I naturally apply those skills when working with animals by reading into the “unsaid.” Whether that is helping an anxious dog feel safe, reinforcing positive behaviors, or calmly navigating new environments, I am ready! I understand that pets are family. I prioritize safety, consistency, and clear communication so you can feel fully at ease while your pet is in my care. Whether your pet needs playtime, structure, cuddles, or space, I’m attentive to their individual personality and needs, and I genuinely love making sure every furry friend feels happy and understood. I am available to provide pet care services anytime between May 12 and July 12, 2026. During this period, I can accommodate flexible schedules and multiple visits per week, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I prioritize consistency and routine for pets, ensuring they receive regular feeding, exercise, and attention. After July 13, 2026, I will be working full-time and will only be able to accept a limited number of clients for very minimal days, so I plan to carefully manage my schedule to maintain high-quality care and attention for each pet. I prioritize safety, trust, and a positive environment for every pet in my care. I ensure secure spaces, supervise playtime, and maintain a calm and structured routine. I tailor care to each pet’s individual personality and needs, whether that means cuddles, exercise, or quiet time. I am attentive to subtle behavioral cues and changes, thanks to my background in behavioral health, and I always communicate clearly with pet owners to ensure they feel confident and comfortable with my care.

“We highly recommend Haleigh. She was just what our little Mischa needed! She took excellent care of him, always on time for his medication and some attention while we were gone. Couldn’t have asked for a better step-in pet parent! Many thanks to you Haleigh!”

About: A former animal shelter kennel with previous experience in a structured doggy daycare setting. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do occasionally — it’s part of my everyday life. I’ve worked with kennel packs of all different sizes, personalities, and energy levels, and I’m very comfortable reading dog body language and stepping in when needed. Whether a dog needs redirection, reassurance, or just a little space, I pay attention. I naturally keep an eye on health and behavior. If a dog’s appetite changes, their energy feels off, or something just doesn’t seem right, I notice. Animals can’t tell us when they’re not feeling their best, so being observant matters to me. Enrichment is important to me as well. Beyond playtime, I’ve provided structured group play, one-on-one attention, scent activities, toy rotation, and quiet rest time. Every dog is different, and I adjust based on what helps them feel comfortable and balanced. Cleaning and sanitation are part of my daily routine, so maintaining a safe, clean space is second nature. I’m familiar with proper kennel protocols and safe disinfectant use to keep everyone healthy. I’m also very comfortable with feeding routines. Measuring portions, following specific instructions, and understanding appropriate daily intake for both dogs and cats is something I’ve done consistently through my work. Outside of my professional roles, I’m the founder and minister of a church for animals, Heimey’s Home Animal Sanctuary, here in Topeka. Building and leading this work has given me experience with animals in many different stages of life, including those who need extra patience, structure, and steady care. When you leave your pet with me, they’re not just being watched. They’re with someone who does this work every day and truly respects the responsibility of caring for someone else’s animal. Being that having an animal sanctuary and working at an animal shelter is my daily life, pet care fits into every moment of every day. I don't get burned out on it as this is my passion. It's something that I enjoy doing. I'm available most days for at home visits and sitting at your house! I currently run an at home church for animals, a residential animal sanctuary that is growing in presents online steadily by the name of Heimey's Home Animal Sanctuary. I apply all of my work knowledge at home but I do soften it due to it being a home setting. My animals get consistent hands on care, enrichment and play. Food bowls and water bowls are always filled, litter boxes are always tended to. Our dog gets walked every single day. She gets daily enrichment as well. I make sure to line up their medical care the best that I can. My life is animal caregiving so this is projected in everything that I do.

“Justine did an amazing job looking after our doggies! She took extra precautions and made sure they were all taken care of while my wife and I were gone. She was excellent with communication and service. Would definitely recommend her!”

“Emily is the finest dog sitter we’ve ever had and that is over the last 50 years. She is prompt, efficient, creative, has excellent communications, and most of all loves and cares for each dog individually!!!”

Gordon & Phyllis L.

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats for years. Experienced with puppies, seniors, feeding routines, walks, playtime, and providing safe, reliable, loving care for all pets. As a college student-athlete , I have a flexible schedule. I’m available mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends, allowing consistent care, walks, feeding, and quality attention. I follow all care instructions carefully, keep pets supervised, secure doors and leashes, maintain clean spaces, and provide updates so owners feel confident and trusted.

“Great job as usual!!!”

About: I have always loved working with dogs, no matter the age, size, or breed. I am currently pre vet, looking to expand my knowledge in animal behavior! I love ALL animals, and truly a huge part of my happiness comes from having 3 of my own! I have worked at our local human society, vet clinics, a dog watching business called Camp Bow Wow, and have watched a ton of family friends pets to help out, in my recent years! I am currently a college student athlete playing D2 soccer! I am looking for something more flexible with my schedule as I am very busy with practices and team activities. This is why pet care is perfect for what I'm looking for! I have short periods of time within my day and nights off to help with our furry friends! When watching your dog in your home, I will make sure I leave the house how it is found, will make sure everything asked of me to do is done, and of course I will give attention and love to your doggo! The pet comes before me, and my first priority is for them to feel safe and enjoy their time without their loved ones home!
