“Once again Steve took care of our fur baby. Truffles was so happy to go back to Steve’s he didn’t even turn around to look at us. He walked right in Steve’s house like he lived there. We will continue to reach out to Steve to watch our baby boy.”
“Brandin and his spine are ALWAYS available for our Cocoa girl! She loves coming here. We recently started booking overnights as well and it's been splendid. We trust Brandin and his spouse to the care of our daughter when we need. They've allowed us to book last minute with no extra charge. We will always come back!”
“Marilyn was amazing with our 3 dogs. Going to her beautiful property was like a vacation for them as well! She truly loves dogs and it shows. We drove out of our way to take them to her and would 100% do it again. Without a doubt, the best sitter we’ve used through Rover.”
“We can’t recommend Colter enough! He took wonderful care of our Corgi Saffron for two stays recently. One overnight and one 6 night stay. He communicates promptly and his home has been very clean each time we’ve been there. Saffron had never been anywhere overnight and she was excited to see him when we took her the second time and we’ve already booked another stay with him. His dog Rumi is very calm and sweet.”
“Lauren took great care of my puppy she was very attentive to everything with her and provided consistent pictures of her throughout her stay. She would update me daily to ensure I knew how my puppy was doing and kept her active which she needs at this stage in her life. I would 100% recommend Lauren to other pet owners and will definitely be booking with her again.”
“We could not have been more pleased with the care Rue received from Mike and Jenn. She can occasionally be a nervous or aggressive dog, but she seemed to enjoy her stay with them.”
“Made me feel a lot better leaving my dog by receiving pictures and updates from petra regularly. 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!”
“Tobey had a great time with Jennifer! We were able to do a last minute booking with her without any complications and she was eager to help. She also kept me updated and sent me photos while we were gone! Would definitely recommend and will plan to use her in the future!”
“Daisy stayed with Kelsey and family for 12 days. She bonded with their dogs and cats and Kelsey shared several photos of them together. Daisy is 13 and has arthritis and anxiety and takes several medications. She requires extra attention and the family went above expectations to care for her needs. I hope she can stay with them again.”
“Cal and their dog Rory did such a fantastic job watching Stella for me that I’ve already asked them to keep her again. Stella could not have gotten more love anywhere and she had a great time. Cal sent me pictures and updates multiple times a day and couldn’t have been greater. I wholeheartedly recommend them!”
“Chelsea and her family were wonderful with our dogs. We would definitely use them again. They sent us updates and pictures on our pets which were very comforting. Would recommend them to anyone”
“Cheryl was so wonderful and flexible. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Miles means so much to me and I appreciated her photos and updates, and I could also tell they gave him so much love that I felt a lot less guilty leaving him!!! She was absolutely great and I would wholeheartedly recommend Cheryl!!”
“We just got back from our trip and our little babies were so happy. Daniel and Carolyn are amazing. They provided constant updates and took amazing care of our fur babies. I will be coming back to them and I highly recommend them. They are quite simply the BEST.”
“I felt so happy and comfortable leaving Mullie in Daniel’s care! He sent me “pupdates” every day to let me know how Mullie was doing and took her on all sorts of fun adventures. He is patient, easy-going, and provides lots of love for your pups while you’re out of town. If you’re thinking about boarding your pet with Daniel, just do it! ?”
About: I have done drop in visits, farm sitting, dog grooming, equine care, and taken care of many animals. I have at least 10 references. Love all the animals and will treat them with love and respect. I own a mobile dog grooming business so can make my own schedule. I have my farm animals but I have help from family to care for mine when I’m needed elsewhere. I prefer to let the animals be in their own home as they seem less stressed knowing they will be where there family will be coming back to. They have their comfortable spots and smells and doesn’t disrupt their routine but if necessary I could care for them at my home. Would walk smaller dogs on leash outside or have outdoor pens for larger dogs to get to run.
“We were absolutely delighted with our doggies stay with Michele! We will definitely be sending her back. The communication was perfect and she sent lots of pictures. Our dog was so happy with her!”
“Magen was able to fit us in last minute, sent regular updates and pictures, and took such great care of our Ralphie when he was away. We will definitely be back! Thank you!”
“Carissa took great care of my Nala. Nala hurt her leg a few days before we were going out of town and Carissa was very willing to give her the extra attention she needed! She will definitely be hangout out with Carissa again!!”

We have a German shepherd that loves the extra play time!
“Justine was perfect. She wrote us daily texts and sent pictures of the 4 kitties every single day. They clearly bonded with them. She took care of picking up our mail for us and opened and lowered the blinds every day. She feed them and played with them. She even saved on of our kitties who got stuck in a gluey ant trap! She was affectionate, clever and resourceful. We could not have found anyone better. She made our vacation in London! We missed our 4 kitties so much and would not have been able to enjoy ourselves at all except we knew she would take excellent care of them!!!”

About: I’ve worked professionally in animal welfare for two years. I’m a certified pet sitter for both dogs and cats while also being pet first aid and CPR certified as well. I’m also fear free certified. I’ve owned my own dogs and cats for the last 10 years! I currently work part time in animal welfare. I’m able to come to your home Tuesday, Thursday or Friday anytime in the afternoon after 12:30. I can come to your home and walk your dog for fresh air and exercise or I can do a pet visit where I check on your dog/cat! In the comfort of your home I can let a dog out to their yard, feed/water cats or dogs, play time etc
About: Since childhood, I have enjoyed the companionship of dogs. The first family pet I knew for nearly its entire lifetime was our rescue beagle my family adopted when I was about 8 years old. I have pet sat in the past, both overnight/in-home sitting, in addition to drop in visits to feed and let dogs outside for potty time. I have experience caring for senior pets, adults and puppies. I am available to care for your pets during weekday late mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends, and for overnight stays with your pet(s) as well. I am comfortable crating dogs if necessary and I have some experience caring for dogs with special needs, more specifically senior dogs that have mobility challenges.
“Emily was fantastic and I would definitely use her again for both pet and house sitting. She had to deal with a few difficult things that popped up with my cat and handled it like a pro. She’s also a great communicator.”
“Hi guys. I feel like you all did a great job. You took O' Malley for 10 days and let him do his thing and be comfortable in his own way. Thank you! The only thing I would have liked more of is communication. Both times I had to reach out to you for check ins. Good luck with your pet sitting!!!”
About: Hi! I’m a reliable, experienced pet care provider with a flexible schedule and hands-on experience with dogs of all personalities, including those who are shy or slow to warm up. I’ve worked closely with behavioral specialists, so I’m comfortable reading dog body language, following care instructions, and managing different routines or environments. Whether your pup needs a friendly face for walks, check-ins, or companionship while you’re away, I take pride in providing thoughtful, stress-free care. I’m organized, attentive to details, and always prioritize safety and comfort—wherever your dog is happiest. Remote job, flexible schedule. Monday-Friday only, weekends are generally open outside of planned events and activities. I finish work at 5pm daily, but it's a very adaptable work routine. When it comes to care routines, I'm consistent and structured. I typically do potty breaks at minimum every two hours and provide walks one to two times daily, adjusting the length based on each dog's energy level and preferences. Fresh water and food are always available unless you specify otherwise. I keep my own dog separate from visiting dogs unless they've had time to become familiar with each other, which helps everyone feel more secure.
About: Hi, I’m Sarah! I’m 18 years old and have been passionate about animals my entire life. Growing up with both dogs and cats, and currently owning four dogs of my own, I’ve developed a strong understanding of different personalities, routines, and care needs. I currently work at a local dog daycare in Lawrence, where I care for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. My experience includes supervising group play, feeding, administering medications, monitoring behavior, and providing individualized care. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, senior, or requires extra attention, I’m confident in providing safe, compassionate care tailored to their needs. I’m also an experienced cat caregiver and understand that every cat has a unique personality. From social and affectionate cats to more independent or timid ones, I take the time to help each pet feel comfortable and secure. I recently graduated high school and will be attending JCCC this fall to pursue a pre-veterinary track. My goal is to build a lifelong career working with animals, and I genuinely love every opportunity to care for them. My boyfriend, Cameron, accompanies me during pet-sitting visits. If you would prefer that I come alone, just let me know. You’re always welcome to meet both of us beforehand so you can feel completely comfortable. When caring for your pets, I treat them as if they were my own. Their safety, comfort, happiness, and well-being are always my top priorities, and I’ll make sure you receive regular updates while you’re away.
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 have been in the field of veterinary medicine for 14 years, driven by a deep passion for animals and a genuine love for being around them. In addition to my professional work, I dedicate my spare time to helping at the cat shelter. feeding and cleaning up after them
About: I've had my three cats since January of 2021. I fell in love with them while fostering and haven't looked back since. My love for them has taught me to love and care for all cats including calling myself an aunt to my friends cats. I'm their first call when it comes to taking care of their feline kids while they're away. I've taken care of up to three different cats in the same week while my friends and co workers were out of town and am always happy to do so.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for a while now! I have had the responsibility to feed, walk, bathe, play, and love for the animals of friends, family, and coaches! Currently for the summer, I only work in the evenings! I will have plenty of time during the day to take care and love on your animals! I have many toys for my cats they keep them stimulated, I also have travel gear to take them in car rides with me! My dogs have a big fenced in backyard, they love going for walks and hikes, and love to play in kiddie pools!
About: My family has had dogs, cats and fish my whole life. I often watch them when my parents are out of town and I have dog and cat sat for family & friends for years. I have helped a friends family with their cattle and pigs, but am not as experienced with livestock outside chickens. I’m currently available 7 days/wk I work as a server in my pleasant so whoever I’m staying with ideally should be able to go 6-8hrs between potty breaks! If I have 2 weeks or more advanced notice I can make arrangements to be able to check in more frequently. o o o o o o o o o o I love interacting with the pets and getting to see them get more comfortable with me. I am very comunicative and willing to ask questions.
About: I grew up with 4 cats at home: two of my own, Sprinkles & Mocha that have now passed away, along with my sister's two cats she brought home from college (Fred & George). Context: I spend the summers at home in KC, but the rest of the year live in Portugal playing professional soccer. Two years ago, our friend found three kittens on the side of the road, so my roommates and I adopted 2 Portuguese kittens, Leo and Vala (seen in my photo). At the end of my season in May, I flew home with them to give them a permanent home in Kansas at my brother's house. They now enjoy their dual citizenship and have three cat dads at home, plus their original (and I argue the favorite) cat mom who visits them every summer :) Living abroad makes it impossible to keep pets of my own and makes me truly miss having animals around, which is why I love spending my summers pet sitting!
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 over six years of veterinary experience, including four years at an emergency & specialty animal hospital and two years at a general practice. I recently graduated from UMKC with a degree in Biology and previously earned my degree in Business Administration from UNK. My background has given me extensive experience caring for companion animals and large animals, as well as handling pets with a variety of needs. Whether your pet needs a caring companion while you’re away, a reliable walker, a comfortable stay, or extra attention and support, I treat every animal like they are my own. I’m comfortable with pets of all ages, personalities, and care requirements — including administering medications, senior pets, and animals needing extra patience and TLC. Services I offer include: 🐶 Dog walking 🐱 Drop-in visits 🏡 House sitting 🐾 Boarding in my home ✂️ Nail trims ❤️ Personalized pet care I’m available most weekdays and weeknights and would love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family member! My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, safe, and receiving exceptional care while you’re away.
About: I’ve been taking care of my own cats as well as family, friends, and neighbors cats for over 15 years now. Anywhere from checking in on them to full on adopting them, I’ve done it all. My cat takes medications that I keep on top of, as well as clean her litter once, maybe twice a day.

“Marilyn was so kind and generous with taking care of our puppy Obi. He looked like he had an amazing time and I enjoyed seeing how happy he was from the pictures and videos she sent. Would recommend and am happy I found someone who I can trust with my puppy.”

We have a big yard so there’s plenty of room to run.! I can come to your home or board in ours. We are very active individuals. Both my husband and I are runners.

About: I grew up on the family farm surrounded by dogs and cats and all kinds of animals - caring for them was part of my life. That lifelong connection led me to volunteer at a local dog and cat shelter where I've gained even more experience with pets of all temperaments and needs. I treat every animal like a family and I willl give your pet loving care whether it's for a quick walk or an overnight stay. I have a very flexible schedule so I can fully prioritize pet care. My days naturally revolve around the animals I am caring for and I enjoy creating routine that suits their needs. My home, farm in the woods, is a dog paradise where they can relax, go for walks or play. In client's home, I'm respectful of their space and routines, I communicate with the owner, send updates and make sure the pet has all my attention.
“Lauren really loves animals and it shows. I’ve never met anyone so kind and caring with their pets. This is the best pet sitting experience I’ve ever had by far and my dog seemed really happy. I’ll be using Lauren exclusively from now on. Thank you so much Lauren 🩷”
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.
“Steve is wonderful with my little guy Fitz! He texts me updates and pictures throughout the day and is super flexible and willing to go the extra mile (especially when work emergencies come up).”
About: Hello!! My name is Maisy. I have worked in various different animal related jobs for the last 5 years, I worked at a doggie daycare/boarding facility and I currently am a dog trainer. I have experience with both puppies and elderly dog as well as cats, reptiles, birds, and farm animals. I also am open to limited contact boarding for people reacting dogs and can do crate rotation for dog reactive dogs away from mine. I work in the evenings 4 days a week so I spend the mornings/afternoons out playing with the pups then they take naps in kennels while I’m at work and we play some more when I get home. I also can move my dogs kennels out of the “dog room” and your dog can just stay in there instead of a kennel if they are more comfortable that way. I have 5 dogs that are very active and friendly. I have a fenced in yard the dogs love to run around in and inside we have lots of toys and comfy places to take naps (which will be put up if there are problems). If I’m not at home or at night all dogs will be kenneled for safety.
About: I have worked with and had animals my entire life. From reptiles to cats and dogs I have worked with many different kinds of animals old and young. I adore training puppies and have had a lot of experience with senior dogs, dogs with incontinence, and other health issues. Your pets safety and well being is of upmost importance to me. My current work schedule is 6am-2pm Mon-Fri with a short break around 9am where I have time to run home and let my dog out. Your pets safety and well being is my main priority. I try to stick to a strict schedule of feeding times and walkies. I have a spacious home with a fenced in back yard. I have a kennel that can be put up for any pups that require a kennel as well as a spare room that can be a safe space for any animal that doesn’t care to socialize with the rest of my animals.
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.
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.
“Our third review and keeps with same energy: COCOA LOVES COMING HERE! We thoroughly trust Brandin and his spouse Diane with our baby girl's overall experience. We ain't going anywhere else!”
“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 have had dogs since I was born and have taken care of them my entire life! I am a big dog lover and have 25 years of experience raising, feeding, house training, caring for, and loving on my pups (and every dog I encounter!!!) I am currently about to graduate law school in May and then will be studying for the bar exam Monday-Friday full time. So I will be home all-day, everyday during the week with the ability to take dogs on walks, potty breaks, go outside to play, etc. at any point in the day!! I live in an apartment and all of my neighbors have pups to keep your dogs company! There is a fenced-in dog park literally outside my window and I also have a porch that a dog can sit out on! My community is very dog-friendly! I do not have a crate, but if your dog is kennel trained then I can accommodate that if needed! I would prefer the pup to be potty trained and gets along with other dogs also. Other than that, I am pretty flexible as long as the dog is friendly!!
“This is the 2nd year I've had my dog cared for by Kelsey & family during an extended visit to Topeka. I couldn't be happier, knowing that she's in such good & loving hands and making new friends when she's there. I'm so grateful and we look forward to continued bookings whenever we're in the area!”
About: Located on 10 acres in rural Hoyt, Kansas, Hughes & Hounds provides a spacious safe haven for your furry family members. Our set-up, previously used for dog breeding, includes two (working on three) spacious backyard pens that are the full package deal, including: big shade trees, big water bowls, a doggie igloo and free doggie treats (if you approve of course!). Please note that our dog daycare and boarding services are OUTDOOR ONLY and really for farm/outside dogs, bigger dogs, or dogs with high energy. We will accept any sized dog as long as they’re used to staying outside during the day! With two young kids in the home, we will only bring your dogs inside if the owner provides a crate and only if requested for night time (with the exception of severe weather where they would be crated indoors as well). I work a few afternoons a week, so I will be able to check on your furry pals often during their week & weekend stays with us. We are flexible and want to make sure your wishes are heard. So if you want us to play with your dogs, send you pictures, give treats - we are here for it. But if your dog prefers to not be bothered too much and is good with the essentials - we are here for that too. You tell us how we can provide the most comfortable atmosphere for your dogs. As far as experience goes, I've been a dog sitter on and off from elementary school through college and have volunteered lots of hours to our local shelter.... I love dogs and they're in good hands! :) This is a NEW and fun business adventure for our small family and we do not take it lightly! Please don't hesitate to reach out with questions-we will respond promptly. I only work a few afternoons a week, and my husband gets home before me during those days, so there’s only about 3-4 hour stretches of time we would be gone during the week. Due to this, we feel confident that we can take good care of your dog(s) while they stay here. Since we have the space we thought "why not?" when it came to the idea of dog boarding. We were not using our back 3 pens, other than allowing our dogs to roam them. There were some escape artists when the pens were originally used for breeding, so safety features include covered corners so dogs are unable to climb up and out using the corner fencing. Cement was also laid around the boundaries of the pens so digging cannot occur. If your dog likes to jump fences that would be a concern and a reason why we may not be a good fit for you. Of course, plenty of cold, fresh water will always be available to your dog(s) during their stay.
About: Taking care of your pets is my top priority and making sure you get back to a happy dog. I’ve dog sat and cat sat for neighbors, family friends and friends of my own. I always have a lot of energy and I enjoy being around dogs and playing with them and walking them. I’m always making sure I’m on top of things to make sure everything that needs to be done is done and all the requirements are fulfilled. Pets always do a good job at comforting and making us happy, so I want to make sure I do the same and give back to them. I’ll treat your furry friends as they were my own with love and care and a lot of playtime. I also do house keeping and anything else you need help with around the house or errands.

About: Hi! I’m a reliable, experienced pet care provider with a flexible schedule and hands-on experience with dogs of all personalities, including those who are shy or slow to warm up. I’ve worked closely with behavioral specialists, so I’m comfortable reading dog body language, following care instructions, and managing different routines or environments. Whether your pup needs a friendly face for walks, check-ins, or companionship while you’re away, I take pride in providing thoughtful, stress-free care. I’m organized, attentive to details, and always prioritize safety and comfort—wherever your dog is happiest. Remote job, flexible schedule. Monday-Friday only, weekends are generally open outside of planned events and activities. I finish work at 5pm daily, but it's a very adaptable work routine. When it comes to care routines, I'm consistent and structured. I typically do potty breaks at minimum every two hours and provide walks one to two times daily, adjusting the length based on each dog's energy level and preferences. Fresh water and food are always available unless you specify otherwise. I keep my own dog separate from visiting dogs unless they've had time to become familiar with each other, which helps everyone feel more secure.
About: Hi, I’m Sarah! I’m 18 years old and have loved animals for as long as I can remember. I grew up with both dogs and cats and currently have four dogs of my own, so caring for pets has always been a huge part of my life. I currently work at a dog daycare in Lawrence, where I care for dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities. My job includes supervising playgroups, feeding, giving medications, monitoring behavior, and making sure every dog is safe and happy. Working with so many different dogs has taught me how important it is to treat every pet as an individual. I’m also very comfortable caring for cats. Whether your cat is outgoing and social or prefers their own space. I recently graduated high school and will be attending JCCC this fall to start my pre veterinary studies. My goal is to become a veterinarian! My boyfriend, Cameron, is 20 years old and helps me with pet sitting. He absolutely loves animals and has a lot of experience with them. He helped train our German Shepherd from the time he was a puppy and did an amazing job with him. He also grew up with several cats, so he’s very comfortable around both dogs and cats. I just like to be upfront that he may accompany me on visits or overnight stays. We’re both huge animal lovers and enjoy spending time with pets! I work Tuesday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM, but I’m available before work, during my breaks, and after work. I also have full availability on weekends and Mondays. Pet care fits naturally into my schedule, and I do my best to be flexible to meet your pet’s needs. When I’m caring for your pet in their own home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. Whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, medications, or plenty of cuddles, I’ll make sure they get the attention and care they deserve. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I’d love the chance to meet you and your pets! Feel free to reach out with any questions or to set up a meet and greet.
About: I have always been known to my parents friends and neighbors and the person to call if you need help watching your animal. I’ve been pet sitting dogs specifically for just over 4 years but before that I watched everything from cats, to fish, and hamsters. I’ve dealt with numerous dogs suffering from seizures along with many recovering from surgery’s so I know how to handle almost everything. I’m currently a college student. I have some Morning commitments however I can be home with your pet for most of the day, or stop by at any point during the day to walk or let them out. I have an english golden retriever myself so there is another dog within my house, however he’s very friendly with other dogs. We don’t use a crate in our house and the dogs are allowed on the furniture but I’m happy to follow whatever you prefer for your own animal.
About: I have taken care of dogs for the majority of my life. I’ve grown up with them in many parts of my family and i’ve also taken care of family-friends animals when needed! I have no problems with providing animals with the care they deserve! I am currently working full time as a Waitress/Bartender! I have three dogs of my own that I take care of during my off time! My schedule does vary week to week, but it can also be flexible! I currently live in an apartment. I love taking my dogs on walks or to the dog parks around town. I also love just sitting outside with them on my porch and enjoying the weather!
About: I have taken care of dogs within my family, friends of the family. I take daily walks with all 3 of mine each day, make sure to keep track of their health. I enjoy taking dogs places like the park, I have realized a dogs best therapy is being outdoors where they truly can be themselves. I am currently a student at the University of Kansas and summer is here. It will definitely fit into my schedule now since I have a lot more availability and flexibility. I make sure that they are on a schedule, fed certain times a day, with certain measurements, make sure that they have what they need at all times. Whether that be taking them for a walk, having a good belly rub, or even getting them their favorite treat!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for a very long time. I own a cockapoo named BaeLee and she is the sweetest dog you’ll ever meet. I now own 2 dogs: Benito and Bernie. Benito is a Rottweiler mix and Bernie is a lab/pitbull. I adopted both from the shelter and have loved my new additions to my family. I take care of my family’s and friend’s dogs all the time from watching them, playing with them, feeding them, and walking them. I am very good with dogs and can be very patient if I need to be. I love sitting down and working on tricks. Having two puppies has taught me the importance of routine and training but also fun! I take care of my pup daily. From the time I wake up until I go to sleep I am always attentive to her needs. Every now and then I’ll take care of my uncles dog throughout the day and take him out every two hours. I am very nice and patient with animals. I love to pet them and play fetch or tug of war. I do not like to touch other’s things when I go to their houses and I respect their rules. I don’t do what I wouldn’t like done in my home to other’s homes.
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

“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’m an active adventurous person ready to play with the dogs or take them on walks. I have helped family, friends and neighbors watch their dogs, whether it be just a check in or a week at a time! I work as a phlebotomist in my other times, help family and create crafts for my page! Seeing as I have a cat of my own, I make sure to put her into my daily schedule and make time for her to play with her and her as well as make sure her litter stays clean and her food and water bowl stay full! My cat is an indoor cat. Although she is aloof, she still loves to come cuddle and I always make sure that her food and water bowls are full, her litter is clean and her medicine is taken
