“Evelyn was so great with my dog, Max. She made me feel comfortable about the entire process and I have already booked with her again. I would recommend her services. 😊”
“Richard was awesome. From the day of our meet and greet I felt very comfortable with him, his wife Serena, and his home environment, and he showed nothing but love and compassion for my puppy. My puppy came home happy and healthy! Our dogs got along great and Richard sent me pictures, video, and we held a couple of Facetime chats. I would absolutely hire Richard again. ”

“Emily was absolutely amazing! She agreed to our booking last-minute and was so friendly and welcoming when I dropped off the cats. She provided lots of pictures and videos and gave great updates of our kitties! She was definitely knowledgeable about cats and was very comfortable handling the two different personality types of our cats. She also has a beautiful home with lots of space for your pets to roam around! I HIGHLY recommend to board your pets with Emily! She is worth every penny! So much better than boarding your pets at a vets office! Thank you so much again!!”
“Alyssa is the absolute best! She was very communicative, kind, and treated our dog like one of her own. She made sure he was comfortable and well adjusted while we were gone. I especially loved all the pictures and notes she sent of how our dog was doing throughout his stay. We would absolutely book with Alyssa again!!”

“Alex provides the best notes! They reflect how well she knows the animals, her delightful sense of humor and what happened on the visit. I love reading them and usually laugh out loud at some point.”
“Ashlyn was fantastic!! I was so nervous about leaving my cats with a stranger. I have only ever let family watch and take care of them. It can also be a little nerve wracking to let a stranger into the house. But Ashlyn made me feel so at ease knowing she was coming to see my cats. She arrived on time every single day. Never left a second early. She made sure to send me pictures, which I loved and made me feel confident that my cats were being cared for. I was able to enjoy my vacation and not have to check in with her everyday to ensure she was doing what needed to be done. When I got home, the house was just as we’d left it. Ashlyn even brought in a package from outside when we didn’t ask her to!! I will absolutely use Ashlyn again (if she takes me)”
About: I may have more experience with dogs, but I’ve always loved cats too. I’ve owned and cared for a cat before and understand how important it is to make them feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away. I’m patient, gentle, and happy to spend time playing with, feeding, and giving attention to cats of all personalities.
About: Cats to me are my spirit animal. Crazy but sleepy, standoff-ish at first, complaining about always being hungry, and more. Every time I’ve encountered a cat, we always end up chilling with each other even if that means I need to give them some space at first. I used to have cats when I was younger, but my mom’s allergies took over and we had to rehome them, and that devastated me. The cat you see in the picture is my boyfriend’s cat and I’ve been around ever since she was a tiny kitten and now we are best friends, so I would love to be best friends with your cat too!
“Lindsey goes above and beyond. This is our second time we’ve had Lindsey watch our cat. Our cat loves her. She sends us detailed reports and pictures and it always makes us feel relieved she is in good hands. Thankyou so much Lindsey!”

“We found out at the last minute that our spring break accommodation did not allow cats, and Susan saved the day! We always prefer someone who has experience with cats, and Susan’s experience and love for all animals shone through from even the first meeting. When we had questions after coming home, Susan was responsive and helpful.”
“Tara did a great job w my kitty! She fed her exactly as I asked and reported back with pictures. She took the time to sit and visit her without pressing her. Her visit times were very consistent and she was secure w my house key. Highly recommend Tara for your fur babies!”
About: I am a huge cat person who is married to a deathly allergic man - so I need to find a way to get cats in my life! I grew up with cats but have been with my husband since college, so I have never had the opportunity to have one in my house. I frequently cat sit for friends.
“Abbie has been so helpful taking care of our two corgis. She arrives on time and takes great care of them with walks and treats. We are so grateful for her help and highly recommend her services.”

“Anna and her team did such an amazing job taking care of our furbaby! They were super easy to communicate with and we’re always willing to provide updates with pictures included about our pups. They provided the best of care for our pup and had an array of places for him (fenced in) for him to run like crazy! They even have a designated dog area in their home! I was so happy that my dog (who normally is never relaxed when he’s away) was actually able to lay down and sleep! Truly amazing work and I’m so excited for our next booking!”
“We knew we were going to be happy with leaving our Stella at Josh’s house, just from the meet and greet we had with him. His home is in a country setting and there is a huge fenced yard for the dogs to play in. Josh sent us several pictures during the day of Stella playing with the other dogs, and we could tell she was having a great time! His hours are much more flexible than the boarding place we have used before. When we got Stella home, she was totally worn out from playing so much. We will definitely be bringing Stella back to Josh’s for day care and boarding!!”
About: I’ve taken care of my dogs since I was a teenager! I usually take care of friend’s and family’s dogs as well. Dogs are usually pretty easy going to get along. I work remotely and have plenty time to stay with the animals. I also spend my night at home home. Half of the week I have my 6 year daughter with me. I live in an apartment.

“I was initially hesitant about booking a doggy daycare, especially after hearing various rumors and fearing the worst. However, I must say that I was thoroughly impressed with the daycare I chose. It truly exceeded my expectations. My dog, Coco, showed immense love and care for Miss Shantanice, who was very happy and content in her care. I . I was initially hesitant about booking a doggy daycare, especially after hearing various rumors and fearing the worst. However, I must say that I was thoroughly impressed with the daycare I chose. It truly exceeded my expectations. My dog, Coco, showed immense love and care for Miss Shantanice, who was very happy and content in her care. I am grateful that I found Miss Shantanice during my time of need and will definitely book her whenever I require doggy daycare services. If you want your dog to be loved and cared for, I highly recommend Miss Shantanice.”
“Jamie was prompt in her response to my initial inquiry and we were able to set up a meet and greet right away. Her home is lovely, clean, and has a fenced in backyard. She spoke so highly of my puppy and it really made me feel like she cared about her. She spent time training her every day and adhered to the schedule I provided for structure. She set up play dates to socialize my puppy as she doesn’t have any pets in her home. She went above and beyond training on concepts I hadn’t introduced to my puppy yet. She was thorough in our initial meet and even recapped with me at the end of the week. Her daily recaps shared so much info about my puppies day and I loved hearing about everything they did together and how much she enjoyed her time with my puppy. Jamie is a stellar caregiver, accommodating of my schedule, loving towards my puppy, and great with communication.”
About: I am available for drop ins over the holidays! I have spent my entire life around animals! I have extensive experience with cats, dogs, and horses, as well as some experience with small pets, including rabbits, ferrets, and aquarium animals. I am certified in Cat & Dog first aid through the Red Cross, and I have previously worked full-time at a doggy daycare and boarding facility, so I have plenty of experience with all different types of dogs. I am also comfortable administering oral and topical medications, and have limited experience with injected medications. My schedule tends to be very flexible; however, I appreciate requests made well in advance. Please be aware that on a typical day I am ONLY available in the mornings and evenings, not at midday. I have experience taking care of many anxious pets, so I always work hard to make sure that each animal is as comfortable and happy as they can be! During walks, that means sniffing if they want to sniff and running if they want to run. I do not interact with other dogs or people on walks, no matter the friendliness/reactivity level of your dog, to keep yours as safe as possible.
About: I offer a fun but structured environment where your pet can feel like part of the family. I have lifelong experience with taking care of and training dogs of all different breeds and backgrounds. As a stay-at-home mom of two young kids and a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I am home mostly all day, and ready to cater to whatever schedule your pup might already be used to. When your pup is here, they will become part of the furry family. I will keep feeding, walks, and playtime consistent with their normal schedule so they feel comfortable and settled. Since I’m home most of the day, they get plenty of attention and play. Most importantly they aren’t left alone for long periods. We also have a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely run and play.
About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs since I was a little girl. I’m the owner of two fur babies with our oldest being with us for the past 13 years. I’m comfortable with taking care of new puppies or senior pets and can administer meds as needed. I’m currently working from home so I’ll have plenty of time to spend with your fur baby, walking them and playing with them throughout the day. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs, a Pomeranian and a golden doodle who love new friends. I can easily crate your pet if needed.
“We had a great experience with Stephanie, she took great care of our dog, Maggie! She was very communicative and shared pics and timely updates! We will definitely be reaching out to her for our next need!”

I own my home, but I have an emotional support dog whom has years of experience being with other dogs to keep your pet company.
About: Grew up with beagles and now have pit bulls. There is very little I haven’t seen or helped out with in my life. Excited to meet your dogs and do my best! Working full time teaching right now but can possibly get out for an hour and half for lunches. Anytime availability from 4pm to 10 pm on weekdays. Treat every animal I encounter like my own. Let them get comfortable with me first and then continue to progress our companionship from that point. Love being outside so dogs will get a lot of safe outside time
“Andrea and her family did an incredible job of taking care of our old doggie. She kept us informed, sent pictures and was all around great! I would recommend Andrea to anyone who needs a dog sitter.”
About: I have had pets since I was about 10 years old. After losing my last couple of dogs to age and terminal illness, we have taken on the approach of fostering over another adoption currently. Eventually we will be adding more furry family members but right now loving on all the other doggies is where we are at ❤️ I currently work from home full time so I am home for full time direct care. I have two daughters part time Monday and Tuesday and every other weekend who are also experienced as I have fostered big breed dogs on and off the last 5 years. I work from home and am available almost always. It is always either just me, me and my boyfriend or all of us and my 2 littles. I do not have a fenced yard as I am in a townhouse currently. But my boyfriend does have 3 acres of land we can go visit for extra run around time if travel less than 30 min is allowed.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and have owned 8 dogs total, with as many as four at one time.

I’m very comfortable with both large and small dogs, energetic dogs, and puppies.

About: I was raised with dogs and responsible for feeding and walking them most of my life. My childhood home had a yard for them to play in but we would walk the dogs three times a day on vacations. One of our dogs had accidents a lot so I’m adept at cleaning up. I work from home so I can be anywhere to play and care for your babies. My schedule is flexible and my work is mobile so your pets will never have to wait for play time or walks. It’s already stressful when their parent is gone so I like to keep your pets schedule the same. If they get up early, I get up early. Simply let me know your pets routine so we can keep it the same while you’re gone.

I am happy to follow detailed instructions, and I provide regular updates and photos so you always know how things are going. Specialties: I have a soft spot for shy or nervous pets, and I take extra care to follow their lead and let them warm up at their own pace. My experience caring for my own anxious and reactive dog has given me extra understanding for pets who need a predictable environment and time to build trust. I am also experienced with puppies and young dogs, and I understand the importance of consistency, routine reinforcement, and providing outlets for their energy while they’re still learning. Meet & Greet: I always like to schedule a meet-and-greet with new clients to make sure everyone feels comfortable and that we are a good match. For safety, my husband Nathan may join me for this first visit, but all pet care and in-home services are always provided by me. I work primarily from home and have a flexible schedule.

“This is my first time ever using a dog service app. My search was short notice. I am forever grateful for Ms. Lindsey and her compassion for animals. I was very upfront to Ms. Lindsey for everything. I even got home early, therefore she was not able to walk my second. However, because it was short notice, and I’ll invest money into my babies, I did not care about the second walk or paying for it. For a person like me to have trust issues, is not easy to have strangers come into my house with animals that have never had a chance to defend themselves. Ms. Lindsey was so kind, etc. that I felt as ease with her coming in. I EXTREMELY recommend her. I am also disabled and will use Ms. Lindsey in future services from her. A shout out to you Ms. Lindsey and thank you to Rover that helps the community in big ways! 🫶🏼💕🐶🤙🏽👍🏽🙏🏽”
“Kaylan has helped care for our dog for months now and has been wonderful! He looks forward to his mid-day walk and she gives great updates each time she sees him! Highly recommend 😊”

About: Much more than just “pets”, dogs are our loyal, loving family members. Facebook: KC Pet Nanny Time to book stays for your summer plans!! It’s never to early to book & guarantee your spot! We recently had to let our 14 year Manitou, our beloved German Shepherd mix go. We adopted her when she 2 months old!! My daughter was 8 at the time and got to grow up with her “sister.” When she got her own place at college and wanted a dog of her own, I helped my daughter find and rescue her own 2-month old dachshund puppy, Margot. We spent the summer together crate training and potty training the newest member of our family, my grandpuppy. We attended Puppy Training classes together where Margot learned good manners with people and other puppies her age. A little about myself; I worked as a Paralegal for over 20 years. January of 2020 I decided to start petsitting full time. I saw the need for “dog nanny” services, housesitting & caring for some dogs who do not handle new environments as well as others or other dogs. So I focus on one on one care. I also open up my home for “dog lodging” where the dog is treated as a guest & I make them feel as comfortable as possible & stick to their normal routine. Our home is smoke-free & our fenced in backyard is chemical free (I like dandelions!) Our dogs are like our children and grandchildren. I understand how much yours mean to you, and I will always take care of your dogs as if they were my own.
About: My family has had cats my entire life and we got our first dog when I was 10. When I became old enough I began volunterring at Wayside Waifs and did that for about 3 years where I would go and walk dogs of all different behaviors and backgrounds. I have 2 cats and I love them so so much. Just as most pet parents know, they are my babies and I feel that our fur babies should be given all of the love and affection that they so selflessly give us. I am a full time student but my class schedule is pretty lax this semester and I also nanny part-time. This allows me a good deal of flexibility to walk dogs as well as do check-ins and house sit when needed. I know all of the good spots for doggy adventures about town that are safe and fun because of my family’s dog, and I am very adaptable to whatever pets need thanks to my experience at Wayside Waifs.
About: I began consistently dog sitting throughout high school starting in 2022. Since then, I’ve built strong relationships with many repeat clients who continue to trust me to care for their pets whenever they’re away. Neighbors, friends, and families rely on me to walk, feed, bathe, and provide attentive, dependable care. As an Animal Science student, I have hands-on experience working with animals, giving me a deeper understanding of animal behavior, health, and proper care. What sets me apart is my reliability, communication, and attention to detail. I treat every pet like my own and make sure their routine stays consistent and stress-free. I’m comfortable with puppies, high-energy dogs, and senior pets that need extra patience and care. I can follow feeding schedules, administer basic medications, and provide plenty of exercise, playtime, and affection. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages so you always know your pet is in good hands. I’m not working this summer, so I have a very open and flexible schedule to dedicate to pet care. I’m available Monday through Sunday for walks, drop-ins, sitting, and boarding, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. This allows me to give your pet plenty of attention, exercise, and consistent care throughout the day. I’m also flexible with last minute bookings and can easily adjust to your pet’s routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. While I don’t have a fenced yard, I make sure all outdoor time is supervised and dogs are always on a leash to ensure their safety. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and needs, and I always follow your specific instructions, including feeding schedules, medications, and routines. I provide a clean, calm, and structured environment where your pet can feel safe and relaxed. I’m experienced with dogs of different temperaments and energy levels, and I take the time to make sure they are comfortable and well cared for. Whether I’m in my home or yours, I treat every pet like my own and prioritize trust, consistency, and safety at all times.

She has an amazing back yard with plenty of room for the dogs to run around. We received updates and pictures throughout our dogs’ stay, and it was clear they were completely loved on by her and her family!”
“When we turn the corner to Helen's home my dog, Maizie starts getting excited. She loves all the attention, love, and play she gets. This is like a second home and they treat her as good as I ever could. I will always use Helen, as long as she is available.”
“Richard was awesome. From the day of our meet and greet I felt very comfortable with him, his wife Serena, and his home environment, and he showed nothing but love and compassion for my puppy. My puppy came home happy and healthy! Our dogs got along great and Richard sent me pictures, video, and we held a couple of Facetime chats. I would absolutely hire Richard again. ”

Will certainly be using them again!”
“Chris was able to take Oliver at short notice for a trip I went on. We had a prior meet and greet so I felt comfortable with what to expect. Chris updated me on Oliver and sent pictures. Oliver looked like he had a great time with Chris and Dolly (his pup). He went straight to sleep when I brought him home!”
“Truly an awesome experience! I can’t thank Megan and super sweet family enough for welcoming my high anxiety girl into their home and loving on her as if she was their own. I could tell by the updates and pictures that Megan sent daily that Rosie was happy and enjoying her stay, which gave me great peace of mind and allowed me to throughly enjoy my vacation. I have no doubt Rosie will miss playing with the kiddos and family pets, but not for long since we’re already planning another stay in just a few weeks!”
