“We boarded our 4 month old puppy, Boba Fetch, with Richard and his dogs Trickster and Pickles when we went out of town. This was our first time leaving our puppy and Richard discussed with me my concerns and rules I wanted enforced. Also, I mentioned to Richard that I was trying to get Boba Fetch to have some new experiences and would appreciate any that he could provide. Richard treated Boba Fetch as one of his own dogs. He took him swimming and gave him a bath along with his two dogs. My puppy gained a ton of socialization experience and picked up no bad habits! I have never seen my dog so comfortable around a stranger! Richard also sent me picture updates. This experience has exceeded my expectations. I don't think his first stay away from home could have gone any better!”

“We had an amazing experience boarding our dog with Xua while we were away for the weekend. We couldn’t be happier with the care she provided. Xua took excellent care of our dog and kept us updated with pictures throughout our trip. She truly made our dog feel at home and part of her family, allowing us to relax and enjoy our time away. We’re so grateful and would highly recommend her services without hesitation. Thank you, Xua!”
“Angela made our sweet Piper feel right at home. Communication was wonderful and she sent us pictures daily. Piper was happy when we picked her up. We will definitely ask Angela to sit for us again 🥰”
“Susan was great! She kept us informed and sent many pictures. She and her family kept our pups happy and well entertained. Thanks for taking such great care of our golden girls!”
“This was our first time using Rover and we couldn't be happier. We received daily updates and pictures. Our two dogs were happy and tired when we picked them up. Thank you Gloria and Griffin for making this such a positive experience for all of us. We truly appreciate the care and attention you gave Oliver and Bear.”
“Jessica is GREAT! We unexpectedly had to extend our time away from our pup due to cancelled flights, and she was so kind to continue to care for our girl for longer than initially planned. I know this cannot always be done, but I certainly appreciate her willingness to work with us & take great care of our pup while we were working to get home. Cannot recommend her enough 🙏🏼”
About: We've cared for dogs of all sizes our entire lives, from energetic Labs to tiny Poms. I’ve also raised cats and chickens, so I'm comfortable with a variety of animals and their unique needs. I treat every pet like family, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well cared for in my home. I Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I work from home. I'm able to provide constant supervision, regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and attention throughout the day. Pets aren’t left alone for long periods, and their needs are easily integrated into my schedule—making their care a consistent priority. Safety and trust are my top priorities. In my home, pets are always supervised and have access to a fully fenced yard for secure outdoor play. I maintain a clean, pet-friendly environment and follow any specific routines or instructions you provide. Whether in my home or yours, I treat every animal with the same care and attention I give my own. I monitor behavior closely, provide plenty of enrichment, and ensure pets feel safe, loved, and stress-free.
“Our dog had so much fun at Kristy's house! She went above and beyond with her care. We've been home for almost a week now, and there's evidence that our pooch is downright bored with us.”
“Anna and her team did a great job takig care of my excitable Pitty. They communicated with me often, and sent me pics of my buddy with his dog friends. I felt better going away, knowing he was being looked after in a home setting.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Erin! She took amazing care of our Tyson and kept us updated the entire time by sending lots of photos and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was obvious that he was having a great time—we could see how happy he was playing with the other dogs she was caring for. Knowing he was having fun made us feel completely at ease. We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone caring, reliable, and trustworthy. Thank you so much for taking such great care of our boy! 🐾”

Our cats are not friendly at all, and routinely hide from strangers, but by the end of her care period, they were brave enough to show themselves so we got to see pictures of them, which is a sign that she was really good with them.”
About: Hi! I’m currently a student at the university of Kansas Medical Center. I’ve had at least one dog in the house as long as I can remember. I’ve helped care for special needs dogs and laid back dogs by walking, bathing, and administering medications. As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to find a perfect sitter for your furry family, so reach out if you think i’d be a good fit for you! As a graduate student at ku I am in several classes. Class schedules can vary and I also have a part time job but I have no problem moving my schedule around if able. Weekends I am free! I will not be able to care for any pets in my home as I am currently staying in an apartment with my sweet cat who prefers to be alone.
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 friend’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!

About: Hi! I’ve been a dog sitter since 2009, and I truly love what I do. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and personalities — including seniors, diabetics, and blind pups who need a little extra attention. Every dog has their own unique needs, and I take pride in making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. Back to business!

“James was easy to work with! We were a last minute booking and he was very accommodating. Sent an update pic of our dog which eased our minds of our dog having a good time! Would definitely recommend him!”
“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.”
“Our dog took to Cristina, and it made me feel at ease the way Cristina interacted with our dog. She was personable, and my dog came home tired from her stay, which is a good thing for us. We would absolutely use Cristina again!”
“Always the greatest feeling to leave Kayla or Winston with Stephanie, who absolutely loves her. When both dogs are dragging you to the front door to get inside it’s always such a good feeling.”
“It was my first time leaving my puppy with anyone and Ashlyn sent me updates and pictures assuring me he was adjusting well. He had so much fun. I will definitely use Ashlyn again when I need a dog sitter!”
“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.”

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 allows me to plan my day around your pet's needs, whether that means drop-in visits, walks, or spending extra time keeping them company. I truly enjoy making them feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I treat every pet and home with the care and respect I’d want for my own. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet (and your space) in someone else’s hands, and I don’t take that lightly. For pets, I stick as closely as possible to their normal routine. I pay attention to their behavior and needs, and their safety and well-being is always my top priority. In your home I am very mindful that I am a guest. I keep things clean, make sure everything stays secure, and treat your space with respect. I aim to leave everything just as you left it. I am happy to keep you updated with messages and photos, so you can relax knowing your pet is well cared for.
About: I have a huge love for all animals and I love spending time with them. I grew up with dogs and cats and I have pet sit for my friends and family since I was 10 I work part time so I have a very flexible schedule to pet sit. My clients can help me set my hours for what works best for them. I don't pet sit in my home because I have a small apartment. I will always make sure that your pet is comfortable and feels safe under my care.
About: I am a Veterinary Technician that now works from home. I have worked with animals for 20 years via a clinic and also pet sitting at my home and at clients homes. I have experience giving medication including insulin injections if needed. I am available 7 days a week and would love to build a relationship with your pet. I am home 7 days a week so I would have plenty of time to spend with your pet either at your house or mine. I have a large fenced in back yard for dogs to run and play in. They would also be indoors with me with 24 hour supervision. If you have a large dog that would stay at your home I am available to commute to your house during the day and night if needed to walk, feed and play with them.

“Nicole is very friendly. Her kids were very loving towards our pup. She got lots of snuggles. It was convenient and communication was great. Would definitely use again.”
“Elizabeth and Christopher were great with our dog Bailey. I got a good feeling about them and their home as soon as I dropped Bailey off. They sent pictures and updates and Bailey was well taken care of. Would definitely use them again if available x”
“We boarded our 4 month old puppy, Boba Fetch, with Richard and his dogs Trickster and Pickles when we went out of town. This was our first time leaving our puppy and Richard discussed with me my concerns and rules I wanted enforced. Also, I mentioned to Richard that I was trying to get Boba Fetch to have some new experiences and would appreciate any that he could provide. Richard treated Boba Fetch as one of his own dogs. He took him swimming and gave him a bath along with his two dogs. My puppy gained a ton of socialization experience and picked up no bad habits! I have never seen my dog so comfortable around a stranger! Richard also sent me picture updates. This experience has exceeded my expectations. I don't think his first stay away from home could have gone any better!”
“Bo spent four nights with Lizmarie T. this past week. He appeared to have a great time at her house and with the other doggie buddies. Will definitely use her again in the future! Thanks so much for taking care of our Bo!”
“Evelyn was great! She sent pictures daily and was communicative about how our dog Jasper was doing! He was well loved and cared for during his stay which is all we could hope for!”
“Susan was great! She kept us informed and sent many pictures. She and her family kept our pups happy and well entertained. Thanks for taking such great care of our golden girls!”
“Jessica is GREAT! We unexpectedly had to extend our time away from our pup due to cancelled flights, and she was so kind to continue to care for our girl for longer than initially planned. I know this cannot always be done, but I certainly appreciate her willingness to work with us & take great care of our pup while we were working to get home. Cannot recommend her enough 🙏🏼”
About: We've cared for dogs of all sizes our entire lives, from energetic Labs to tiny Poms. I’ve also raised cats and chickens, so I'm comfortable with a variety of animals and their unique needs. I treat every pet like family, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well cared for in my home. I Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I work from home. I'm able to provide constant supervision, regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and attention throughout the day. Pets aren’t left alone for long periods, and their needs are easily integrated into my schedule—making their care a consistent priority. Safety and trust are my top priorities. In my home, pets are always supervised and have access to a fully fenced yard for secure outdoor play. I maintain a clean, pet-friendly environment and follow any specific routines or instructions you provide. Whether in my home or yours, I treat every animal with the same care and attention I give my own. I monitor behavior closely, provide plenty of enrichment, and ensure pets feel safe, loved, and stress-free.
“Our dog had so much fun at Kristy's house! She went above and beyond with her care. We've been home for almost a week now, and there's evidence that our pooch is downright bored with us.”
“Anna and her team did a great job takig care of my excitable Pitty. They communicated with me often, and sent me pics of my buddy with his dog friends. I felt better going away, knowing he was being looked after in a home setting.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Erin! She took amazing care of our Tyson and kept us updated the entire time by sending lots of photos and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was obvious that he was having a great time—we could see how happy he was playing with the other dogs she was caring for. Knowing he was having fun made us feel completely at ease. We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone caring, reliable, and trustworthy. Thank you so much for taking such great care of our boy! 🐾”
“Cristina was amazing! This was our first time using Rover so we didn’t know what to expect. Cristina made our three-legged fur baby feel right at home. I really appreciated the picture updates she would send us throughout the stay. Will definitely use again in the future!”
“Deanna is great. She replied in time for updates about my dog. He is usually a very nervous/submissive boy, but she got him confident shortly after dropping him, and her two dogs also helped by playing. Not only she does Rover, but also works for a pet adoption center so she knows what she’s doing and I never felt nervous even when this was Lonzo’s first time with her. Highly recommend her.”
About: As a lifelong animal lover and experienced pet owner, I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free environment where your dog feels right at home. I have experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities, as well as cats. Beyond caring for my own pets, I've worked with rescue organizations as a foster, helping dogs transition into loving forever homes. That experience has given me patience, confidence, and the ability to care for pets with a variety of temperaments and needs. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, belly rubs, or simply relaxing on the couch, I'll tailor their care to match their routine. I'm comfortable with feeding schedules, administering basic medications if needed, maintaining exercise routines, and providing plenty of love and attention while you're away. I work with a flexible schedule, allowing me to provide attentive care throughout the day rather than leaving pets alone for extended periods. You'll also receive regular updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your furry family member is happy, safe, and well cared for. I know every pet is unique, and I look forward to getting to know yours and treating them like one of my own. Every dog's ideal day looks a little different, and I do my best to match their routine so they feel right at home. Because I work from home, your dog will have plenty of companionship throughout the day instead of being left alone for long periods. Mornings typically start with a potty break, breakfast (if that's part of their schedule), and some playtime or a walk. Throughout the day, dogs can relax inside our spacious home, enjoy supervised time in our fenced backyard, or play with my two friendly dogs if they enjoy canine companionship. My older dog, Colby, is calm and loves to lounge around, making her a great companion for senior or more relaxed dogs. Swiss is younger, playful, and always happy to have a buddy to run around with. Whether your dog prefers to play or simply nap in a sunny spot, they'll have a companion that matches their energy level. The evenings are all about more outdoor time, cuddles, dinner, and winding down before bed. My goal is for every dog to feel like they're on their own little vacation while you're away. Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priorities. My home provides a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment with plenty of room to relax and explore. We have a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely play, stretch their legs, and enjoy supervised outdoor time. Inside, there's plenty of space for dogs to spread out, nap, or simply be part of the family. I carefully introduce new dogs to my own pets to ensure everyone is comfortable. My two resident dogs are well-trained, friendly, and accustomed to sharing their home with visiting dogs through my rescue and fostering experience. Because I work from home, I'm able to provide frequent potty breaks, monitor playtime, and give each dog the attention they deserve throughout the day. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, young, or a senior, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved during their stay. I understand that every pet has unique routines and preferences, and I'm happy to accommodate feeding schedules, medications, favorite toys, and any special instructions to help them feel right at home.
“Kodak absolutely loves visiting Kathleen and fam. So excited, in fact, that at drop off we barely got the car in park before he jumped out of the car window to greet her at the front porch. That’s all the confirmation we need to know he loves his stays!”
“Daniel did an absolutely fantastic job watching my two dogs Quinn (a senior dog) and Phineas (a puppy). He provided the perfect amount of communication and sent some really great pictures while we were away. I was thoroughly impressed by his level of care and would love to book with him again. Highly recommend!”
