“Our dogs spent a week with Steve and had such a lovely time! Steve was very easy to work with and took great care of our pups. Also, if you have a pet with special needs (one of our girls is partially paralyzed and the other needs eye drops twice a day) I would absolutely recommend Steve.”
“Kathi was a pro at dealing with our little Charlie. I could tell that he bonded with her based on his body language. Thank you Kathi, for taking the worry out of this doggie mama.”
“Natalia was an amazing sitter! She was so caring and flexible! Our travel plans changed unexpectedly and she cared for my dog an extra day/night after our flights were cancelled. Communication was top-notch and she sent LOTS of photos which I really appreciated! I felt so safe and comforted knowing my baby was in great hands and truly a part of her family for the week. My dog has mobility issues and requires extra care which was lovingly provided. We will definitely be repeat customers and she will be our first go-to the next time we need boarding!”

My dog is elderly but hyper, and I can tell he had a extremely fun weekend because he slept for a few hours when he got home. He is a very happy puppy and I will definitely be back for our next trip! Thank you petra!”
“Amelia & Matthew quickly responded to our request for dog sitting within a few days before our unexpected trip out of town. The greet & meet was helpful, since we haven’t used this service in years. We were getting fun updates, videos & pictures of Bailey! Definitly makes it easier to leave our sweet girl, knowing she’s having fun! Excited to have a great option for dog sitting in Lawrence! Thanks again! ?”

“Cheryl was great! I was worried Daisy might not get along with the other dogs but Cheryl assured me they'd be fine and they were. Within an hour I had a picture from her of them playing in the backyard. She sent texts and photos every day and I was very relieved (I'm an over anxious dog mom). Highly recommend Cheryl. Will definitely use her again.”
“Kelsey, thank you for keeping Alta for a couple of days. I appreciate your pictures and communication as we were gone for the weekend. I think Alta enjoyed being around your other dogs. We will definitely be reaching out to you again!”
“Brittany and her family took amazing care of our one and a half year old golden retriever for a little over a week. He had some potty accidents during his stay which we felt so terrible about but Brittany was very forgiving and optimistic about Roper nonetheless. He came back super happy and healthy and we can tell he had a great time and bonded with the family, he may even be sad to go back home 😂 Brittany also sent lots of photo and video updates which we always love! 10/10 would recommend.”
“Magen took care of Buddy for me while I was away. She kept me updated with a couple of photos each day and let me know he was doing well. He seemed happy and relaxed when I got home, and it was nice to know he was being walked and cared for. I appreciated having the peace of mind while I was gone. I'll definitely be booking with her again in the future.”

About: I have had cats my whole life, and I love being around their clever and fun energy. I have been a pet sitter for several different cats, and my responsibilities included playing with the cats, preparing food and water, cleaning litter boxes, and occasionally administering medication.
“Alejandra did an amazing job looking after our two kitties! It can be very difficult to find a sitter that you trust to look after your babies and she proved to be very trustworthy and attentive. We will book again! 💕”
“Michelle was so amazing, it warmed my heart to know someone was actually giving my cat love and attention as much as I would because that’s usually a pet owners biggest fear. I was out of the country for around two weeks and worried about my cat because she tends to be a little shy and scared of new people and typically i only know how to deal with her. Michelle was perfect !! letting my cat slowly warm up to her presence visit by visit. She would send photos every visit and that was very reassuring, she would play with my cat and feed her and cuddle with gigi. I would get photos of gigi playing, running, and cuddling which is not her norm for when she meets new people so i was very happy with that.There wasn’t a moment where I was worried about my gigi. Michelle is so nice and compassionate and sweet and it shows because my gigi warmed up to her, she responds to messages and updates me where i felt reassured and comfortable, I could not be happier that i found her to take care of my cat and i was honestly lucky to have her as my pet sitter.I would definitely choose her again over anyone if I ever had to leave my cat again but in general with any animal because she actually cares.”

About: I have three dogs, two wonderful twin golden retrievers that are 5 years old. They are my whole world and so are my sister and brother’s dogs/cats! My sister has been doing rover in KC for over 7 years so it’s been a great way to experience rover and the necessities for all kinds of pets. Additionally, I’ve been a volunteer at Unchained Melodies puppy nursery and KC Pet Project for the last few years <3 I’m currently a post-graduate student preparing for medical school here in a year so I have a lot of time for longer term pups. I’m preparing for work part-time as well in the fall but I have a very open and flexible schedule. I have helped dog sit for years now and of course I’ve taken care of my own dogs since they were just babies. Unfortunately, I’m unable, for the most part, to have animals stay at my house however, I’m open if necessary. I walk and feed my own dogs daily and they take a lot of space so I want them to feel comfortable in their own environment.

About: "If you can look at a dog and not feel vicarious excitement and affection, you must be a cat." ~Terri Guillemets Love dogs (and animals in general, but dogs especially.) I have been around them my whole life and wouldn't want it any other way. I come from a large, mostly rural dwelling family, my grandma had 11 kids 2/3 of which have at least 1 or more dog(s) including my mom. I've always had my own and/or lived with roommates/friends/family, that have/had dog(s) in every house I've lived from day 1 to the present. Although I can't say I've taken care of every breed out there (doubt that many people can) I have definitely seen my fair share of mutts and purebreds alike; from Corgis to Chihuahuas, Danes to Dobermans, Lhasa Apsos to Shar Peis, and even a couple of wolves (3/4 mixes) as well as a few rodents, cats, reptiles, arachnid and birds. Big or small I love "em all, but if you forced me to pick a favorite I'd have to go with the affectionate yet intimidating Perro de Presa Canario. In short, if either by choice or necessity you find yourself in need of a caretaker for your 4-legged (or more) companion(s), know that I would be elated for the opportunity and you can be assured that their health and well-being will invariably be at the forefront of my mind in all that I do while they're in my care. Thank you for taking the time to read this and I look forward to hearing from you soon. "Lots of people talk to animals.... Not very many listen, though.... That's the problem." ~Benjamin Hoff, The Tao of Pooh
About: I’ve had pets since, forever! When I was younger 3 of our dogs had puppies at the same time & then we had 27 dogs to care for! I personally had a yorkie for 8 years. I have so much patience and love for animals and they are much more than animals & pets to me. As much as they are here for us, we reciprocate that love with care, respect, responsibility, structure, attention, and so much more. I’ve felt that my dog was like a child to me, and I know that’s the same for others so there’s so much responsibility in caring for others animals and is no small thing when it comes to looking after them. I moved from Seattle to Chicago a few months ago and have been looking for a side job that feeds my soul and fills my heart. And my friend is doing this job and recommended it to me. As I do have a fenced yard, I can only have a pet at my apartment for a few hours a day but not overnight. Therefore I’m mainly able to provide service at the clients home. I’m available during the day and overnight.

“We had never had a puppy sitter before, and Daniel was the best first experience we could have hoped for! We needed a last minute sitter for the super bowl, and Daniel was incredibly helpful. His home was clean, he has a number of dog-friendly toys for your pup to play with, and he sent the CUTEST photos of the puppy while we were out and about. He has a wealth of knowledge about dogs, and our puppy was comfortable immediately in his space. We'll definitely be reaching out to Daniel for any of our puppy daycare needs :)”
“Steve is so very sweet. Juniper is a big puppy with lots of energy and emotions. Tbh, an exhausting toddler. He has so much love to give he just explodes. Until he collapses into sweet dreaming mode😂 Steve has been so patient and understanding of family circumstances and has been so supportive. Even reinforcing training and exposure on the daily to keep Junie the bestest boy ever. I’m grateful for Steve.”
“Regan was amazing with my puppy. She sent me multiple updates throughout the days, fed my dog, took her potty, played, etc.. while I was at work. I plan on using her again :)”
About: I grew up with dogs and cats, took care of them and have a great passion for animals. I’ve had my own pets since 2007 (2 cats and a dog). Since 2020 I have fostered animals for a local shelter including dogs, puppies as young as 6 months, and kittens as young as 5 weeks. I have basic experience in dog training. I’m currently working on a part-time contract basis so my schedule is very flexible and I would love to help you care for your pet(s). I am available daily with a set schedule to accommodate your needs. I am an experienced foster of dogs and kittens. I have a dedicated space (spare bedroom) to keep any animals separate from mine, but if they are dog and cat friendly they could be free roaming in the house when I am home. I have a cable for supervised potty time in the yard. I am experienced with crate training. I am clean and professional, respecting your space and routines in your home.
About: I have had dogs in my home for almost my whole life. I have a pug, golden retriever, and a mutt that are all a couple years apart in age. For two years, I volunteered at a humane society where I walked and cared for dogs of all kinds. Senior, puppy, sick, I have a lot of experience and I would love to get more! I’m currently working at a golf course near Forest Lake. My schedule for work comes out weekly, so I’m unaware what my weeks look like well in advance. I don’t like to do this, but if your pups are able to be home for about 6-8, then this would be a great fit! Obviously I wouldn’t work every day of the week, so I will be available to give them my full attention. Your pups are my priority and I wouldn’t want them to feel uncomfortable with my wack work schedule in any way. My shifts will either be 6-2 or 2-9, or shorter. I prioritize respect for your space and routines. Whether your pet prefers potty breaks in a fenced yard or leashed walks, I’ll follow your preferences to keep them comfortable and safe.
“Madison did so well with our energetic 6 month old GSD mix! He can be energetic and she went above and beyond to get him the playtime and exercise he needed. This included walks and playing fetch outside, among other things. He came home a very happy pup!”

“So far, our baby girl has been having a great experience with Brandin. He updates us on her pee and poo breaks, as well as feeding. He sends pictures of her, including if I ask. I respect his structure and knowledge in dog behavior, resulting in us learning a few new things we didn't know previously. Overall, I highly recommend Brandin! We're returning twice weekly. Book with him!”

I also have 3 pets at home, they have a large fenced in yard and plenty of toys to play with.
“Stephanie has been incredibly accommodating to helping walk our dog while we are away. Since my parents are not able to walk him for very long it has been wonderful working with Stephanie several times per week to help with this. She has been very responsive and helpful!”
About: I have three dogs, two wonderful twin golden retrievers that are 5 years old. They are my whole world and so are my sister and brother’s dogs/cats! My sister has been doing rover in KC for over 7 years so it’s been a great way to experience rover and the necessities for all kinds of pets. Additionally, I’ve been a volunteer at Unchained Melodies puppy nursery and KC Pet Project for the last few years <3 I’m currently a post-graduate student preparing for medical school here in a year so I have a lot of time for longer term pups. I’m preparing for work part-time as well in the fall but I have a very open and flexible schedule. I have helped dog sit for years now and of course I’ve taken care of my own dogs since they were just babies. Unfortunately, I’m unable, for the most part, to have animals stay at my house however, I’m open if necessary. I walk and feed my own dogs daily and they take a lot of space so I want them to feel comfortable in their own environment.
About: I have been dog and cat sitting since middle school! I live in Oklahoma and Kansas and do Rover in both for half the year. I have a bigger dog and smaller cat of my own at home but not in Kansas. I volunteer at the Lawrence Humane Society and love all types of animals!! I’m currently in school but am available most hours of everyday. I don’t have many other obligations during the weekdays so I am very flexible with timing! I am willing to work with whatever the owner would like. I am definitely willing to spend the night if necessary and can let out however often you would like.
About: I absolutely love taking care of home pets! You will feel stress-free with me while taking care of your animals until you return home. I believe that animals need more love and care than just being let outside and fed. I have house and pet sat for two summers now, and I really love it! I am home from college, looking to have a simpler job during the summer! I am fully available all week and usually the weekends as well unless I'm on a trip! Very open to anything. I have a fenced yard for my pup at home, which helps them have more fun outside! I could also crate the animal if that is what is needed.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats most of my life! Friends and family rely on me for great pet sitting, cuddles, tons of playtime! I’m free for most of the summer besides helping out at my grandmas office or running errands when asked! Taking adventures with my own pup most of the time! In my home I have a cat and a German shepherd puppy! They typically eat at 5 am, go outside after 20-30 minutes after meal time. I will cuddle with both of them on the couch and play fetch with my pup until I do daily activities such as cleaning, etc. I take breaks to let my pup outside and take her on a walk if it’s a decent temperature outside. I also help take care of my grandmas pups as well, bunch of cuddly pups it’s like a dream come true. I work commands with my pup often throughout the day, walking around with a treat bag. I always check for ticks on each dog after they’ve been outside it’s summer! They like to come out more often now. I will always ask of a pets diet regimen, such as their foods, allergies, favorite treats, if they have sensitive stomachs, or if they are fully vaccinated! I also have a car that has pet covers on the seat because of my fur baby who loves car rides. I will ask what your pets schedule looks like such as feeding times, and bathroom breaks.
About: Hi I’m Lillian! I have always loved caring for animals since I was a young child. My family and I have owned and lovingly care for 3 dogs, 4 cats, and a horse. I have 6 years of experience working as a certified veterinarian assistant and kennel technician. I am currently working full time at Pleasant Valley Vet Clinic as a veterinary assistant. As an employee, I have been responsible for walking dogs, cleaning kennels, feeding animals, setting up, assisting, and cleaning up after appointments and surgeries, bathing animals, trimming their nails, ear care, and de-worming! I pride myself in being punctual, professional, compassionate, and highly responsible. I would love the opportunity to walk your dogs or house-sit for your pets as well. I have references available upon request. I live in Eudora and work in Tonganoxie. I currently work 4 days a week as a veterinary assistant, but have 1 hour lunch breaks to come let out your furry family member! I am very available outside of work. We currently have many pets in our own home, however I am more than willing to come to your home in order to care for your pets. I am available to take them for walks, feed them and care for them, doing whatever I need so that your pet is comfortable while you are away. I am available to stay the night at your home, or just come over throughout the day as needed. I will even give you’re pooch a spa day if requested!
About: "If you can look at a dog and not feel vicarious excitement and affection, you must be a cat." ~Terri Guillemets Love dogs (and animals in general, but dogs especially.) I have been around them my whole life and wouldn't want it any other way. I come from a large, mostly rural dwelling family, my grandma had 11 kids 2/3 of which have at least 1 or more dog(s) including my mom. I've always had my own and/or lived with roommates/friends/family, that have/had dog(s) in every house I've lived from day 1 to the present. Although I can't say I've taken care of every breed out there (doubt that many people can) I have definitely seen my fair share of mutts and purebreds alike; from Corgis to Chihuahuas, Danes to Dobermans, Lhasa Apsos to Shar Peis, and even a couple of wolves (3/4 mixes) as well as a few rodents, cats, reptiles, arachnid and birds. Big or small I love "em all, but if you forced me to pick a favorite I'd have to go with the affectionate yet intimidating Perro de Presa Canario. In short, if either by choice or necessity you find yourself in need of a caretaker for your 4-legged (or more) companion(s), know that I would be elated for the opportunity and you can be assured that their health and well-being will invariably be at the forefront of my mind in all that I do while they're in my care. Thank you for taking the time to read this and I look forward to hearing from you soon. "Lots of people talk to animals.... Not very many listen, though.... That's the problem." ~Benjamin Hoff, The Tao of Pooh
About: I’ve had pets since, forever! When I was younger 3 of our dogs had puppies at the same time & then we had 27 dogs to care for! I personally had a yorkie for 8 years. I have so much patience and love for animals and they are much more than animals & pets to me. As much as they are here for us, we reciprocate that love with care, respect, responsibility, structure, attention, and so much more. I’ve felt that my dog was like a child to me, and I know that’s the same for others so there’s so much responsibility in caring for others animals and is no small thing when it comes to looking after them. I moved from Seattle to Chicago a few months ago and have been looking for a side job that feeds my soul and fills my heart. And my friend is doing this job and recommended it to me. As I do have a fenced yard, I can only have a pet at my apartment for a few hours a day but not overnight. Therefore I’m mainly able to provide service at the clients home. I’m available during the day and overnight.

“Our dogs spent a week with Steve and had such a lovely time! Steve was very easy to work with and took great care of our pups. Also, if you have a pet with special needs (one of our girls is partially paralyzed and the other needs eye drops twice a day) I would absolutely recommend Steve.”
“Natalia was an amazing sitter! She was so caring and flexible! Our travel plans changed unexpectedly and she cared for my dog an extra day/night after our flights were cancelled. Communication was top-notch and she sent LOTS of photos which I really appreciated! I felt so safe and comforted knowing my baby was in great hands and truly a part of her family for the week. My dog has mobility issues and requires extra care which was lovingly provided. We will definitely be repeat customers and she will be our first go-to the next time we need boarding!”

My dog is elderly but hyper, and I can tell he had a extremely fun weekend because he slept for a few hours when he got home. He is a very happy puppy and I will definitely be back for our next trip! Thank you petra!”
“Amelia & Matthew quickly responded to our request for dog sitting within a few days before our unexpected trip out of town. The greet & meet was helpful, since we haven’t used this service in years. We were getting fun updates, videos & pictures of Bailey! Definitly makes it easier to leave our sweet girl, knowing she’s having fun! Excited to have a great option for dog sitting in Lawrence! Thanks again! ?”

“Cheryl was great! I was worried Daisy might not get along with the other dogs but Cheryl assured me they'd be fine and they were. Within an hour I had a picture from her of them playing in the backyard. She sent texts and photos every day and I was very relieved (I'm an over anxious dog mom). Highly recommend Cheryl. Will definitely use her again.”
“Kelsey, thank you for keeping Alta for a couple of days. I appreciate your pictures and communication as we were gone for the weekend. I think Alta enjoyed being around your other dogs. We will definitely be reaching out to you again!”
“Brittany and her family took amazing care of our one and a half year old golden retriever for a little over a week. He had some potty accidents during his stay which we felt so terrible about but Brittany was very forgiving and optimistic about Roper nonetheless. He came back super happy and healthy and we can tell he had a great time and bonded with the family, he may even be sad to go back home 😂 Brittany also sent lots of photo and video updates which we always love! 10/10 would recommend.”
“Magen took care of Buddy for me while I was away. She kept me updated with a couple of photos each day and let me know he was doing well. He seemed happy and relaxed when I got home, and it was nice to know he was being walked and cared for. I appreciated having the peace of mind while I was gone. I'll definitely be booking with her again in the future.”
“Valentine was great with my cat and very flexible with booking last minute. My cat is usually very shy but she warmed up to Valentine quickly! Valentine is also great with keeping you updated with pictures. I will be booking again!!”
“Tamber is amazing. I have left my dog with her twice now and she is not only super responsive, but was flexible with me when my travel plans changed. Never once had to worry about my dogs care plans with Tamber. HIGHLY recommend for your fur babies.”
