About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was young. Growing up on a farm taught me how to look after all kinds of animals, and over the years family, friends, and neighbors have trusted me to care for theirs whenever they’re away. My dogs are like kids to me, so I understand how important it is to treat someone else’s animals with the same love and attention they get at home. I’m available full‑time to care for your animals and would love to welcome them into my home! I’ll make sure they’re comfortable, safe, and well‑loved while you’re away. I have a fully fenced backyard and two small dogs who would love the company. If you prefer, I can keep them completely separated, and I’m also happy to use a crate if that’s what your dog is most comfortable with.
“Mary was fantastic! I was away for a long trip and felt so comfortable knowing my pup was in good hands and was having so much fun with her dogs and other dogs she was watching! It was fun to see pictures of her and Mary was very responsive to my check ins! Definitely will be contacting Mary anytime I need someone to watch my pup!”
About: I’ve spent most of my life caring for animals, and it’s something I genuinely enjoy and take seriously. I’m calm, reliable, and pretty tuned in to how animals communicate what they need, especially when they’re in a new space or off their usual routine. With over 20 years of experience caring for pets of all sizes and personalities, I’m comfortable working with senior pets, administering medications (including injections when prescribed), and supporting animals who need a little extra patience. I focus on keeping things steady and low stress so pets can relax, settle in, and feel comfortable while their people are away. Pet care is built into my daily routine rather than squeezed in around other commitments. Because I work from home, I’m able to structure my day around visits, walks, and check-ins, and adjust as needed for each pet’s schedule. I’m home throughout the day and keep a steady, flexible rhythm that allows me to be present and attentive rather than rushed. Safety and comfort are always my top priorities, whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home. I’m thoughtful about supervision, separation when needed, and making sure each pet has appropriate space to rest, eat, and decompress. I follow each pet’s usual routines as closely as possible and keep environments calm and predictable. I’m careful about doors, gates, leashes, and transitions, and I check in frequently to make sure pets are comfortable and settling in well. My approach is low stress, attentive, and focused on helping pets feel secure in whatever space they’re in.
“This was our first experience with Rover and therefore our first experience with Sam. We just have to say we could not be more pleased. We were visiting in Hutchinson, KS and our dog Elmer stayed overnight with Sam, his roommate and Trapper, a high energy, playful and very friendly dog. The two dogs meshed well wonderfully and got “lots of exercise” and play time. This was Elmer’s first night away from us as he is a recent adoptee and apparently he didn’t seem to miss us one bit. Sam was great about sending frequent updates and pictures while hosting Elmer which really helped alleviate any concerns we had. We wholeheartedly recommend Sam and would have no reservations about using his services again!”

He is treated as a child in our home, and your pet(s) will be as well! Dogs are allowed on all furniture and beds. Crating is available if necessary.
“Sarah was amazing taking care of our dog KJ. He’s normally very shy but opened up quickly and was comfortable and had so much fun. I felt very secure and at ease having her take care of him.”
“We have tried boarding our dog in a kennel before and it was obvious he did not have a good time. When we went to pick him up from Janet's, he was so happy and I could tell he had a so much fun! It was such a great experience and a relief to know our baby was safe and happy while we were away. Janet was very easy to work with and provided updates and photos for us.”

“We left Maggie with Alexis, Luke and Winston (Maggie’s new best friend) for two weeks. Alexis provided pictures and updates. I could see that Maggie was having a great time. They were flexible on the time that we could pick her up, and greeted us with smiles and a very happy dog. It was great to hear how much fun Maggie had with Winston. We will definitely use Alexis and Luke again.”

“I am so thankful for you two. Alice loves coming to your house. She's learning new habits. She lay on the bed all morning after, and when she got up, she just sat and looked around. I think she was missing her friends over there. Took a bit to adapt to home again. lol”

About: I have always had dogs in my life. Growing up, I had two chocolate labs, and I now have my own three furry friends. My boyfriend and I consider our dogs to be a part of the family and treat them as such! They go everywhere we do, and we love taking them on new adventures! I work in the healthcare field, and my sister is an animal control officer so I have lots of knowledge when it comes to caring for your furry ones!! I work full time on night as a RN, but my boyfriend is home during that time! Someone will always be around with the pups:) I have a nice open home and a big fenced in backyard! There are dog beds in almost every room of the house. When I am home, the dogs get outside time about every two hours or whenever they tell me they need to go outside. If I am not home, they get let out about every four hours. There is no lack of love in our home and attention is constant for the pups.

About: Hey, my name is Yinka, and I’m excited to connect with pet owners who are looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter! While I’m new to dog sitting, I lead a life of quick learning and reliability in everything I do. Spending time with dogs is something I’ve always envisioned, and I’m looking to build loving relationships with dogs of all kinds. Growing up, my sisters had a wiener dog, and ever since then, I’ve had a soft spot for those adorable little dachshunds! I’ve always thought about having a pet myself, and I’m looking forward to sharing my time and care with your furry friend in the meantime. I may not have prior professional experience, but what sets me apart is my genuine love for dogs and dedication to treating them with care and kindness. I work a 9-to-5 job during the week, which means I’m typically available on weeknights and weekends. This flexibility allows me to dedicate quality time to caring for your dog, whether it’s for walks, playtime, or just hanging out. Living on my own also makes it easy to adjust my schedule to meet your pup’s needs. As someone who values trustworthiness and reliability, I’ll care for your pet with the same attention and kindness I’d give my own. I take safety seriously and will follow any instructions or routines you provide to ensure your dog feels comfortable and loved. Whether in your home or during outings, I’ll create a safe and caring environment where your dog can relax, have fun, and feel completely secure.
About: I've been taking care of pets for family, friends, and neighbors for years. I grew up around dogs and have yet to meet one that doesn't like me. Through the years, I've taken care of all types of dogs and cats; from young, crazy pups to old, sick dogs and from ornery mostly outdoor cats to snuggly kitties that want to use me as a bed. My other job is remote, so my schedule is very flexible for whatever your pet may need. Weekends or weekdays doesn't make much of a difference. I'm also a morning person, so early morning walks, feedings, etc are perfectly fine! For boarding, I have one pet friendly roommate and dog. The dog is so cat friendly that she annoys some cats by trying to convince them to play. My yard is fenced, but there is currently a damaged section that has been covered with temporary plastic fencing. The damage will be repaired soon and until then, I don't let anyone out there without supervision. For house sitting or drop-ins, I treat your pets the way I would want mine treated. I also try to match any routines your pet might be used to, if it's eating at a certain time or always being let out at a certain time, just let me know and I'll make sure to keep things as familiar as possible for your furry friends.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs both big and small, old and young! I love them all. Whether it be dog-sitting at the owners house while they’re away or simply doing a drop in and letting them play and go outside for a bit, I love caring for them. I’m flexible on hours currently however I’m hoping on getting a part-time job soon! But as for now anytime in the day is a good time for me to come care for your furry friends. With a clients home I always try to be clean and respectful of the space, making sure your fur-baby is safe, comfortable, and where you want them to be!
About: Hi everyone! My name is Ingrid, and I’m excited to offer my dog-walking and sitting services. While I may be new to professional dog sitting, I have two wonderful dogs of my own, Rocky (4+ years) and Odie (2 years), who have taught me a lot about pet care. I have had them both since they were 3 months old and I trained them both. I'm passionate about providing a loving and safe environment for all dogs. I look forward to meeting your furry friend and giving them the attention and care they deserve! During December and May, I am available Mondays-Saturday's for dog walking and sitting. I am a full-time radiologic technologist student, doing clinicals 40 hours a week mainly around 8:00am-5:30pm during the school year, even summer. I am available to dog sitting and walking anytime before or after. Keep in mind my hours can change unfortunately, but I indeed will communicate with all my clients. My dogs are the happiest dogs, and they get so excited when I come home. They are very spoiled with many toys, playtime, and walks. We have a big backyard so they go inside and outside whenever they want. They are both potty trained, and Rocky is trained with basic commands such as sit, stay, wait, high five, and lay down.
