“Daniel and Carolyn were wonderful with our very active almost 1 year old Bernedoodle. They were very good about communicating with us daily and were very patient with him and kept him busy while we were gone. We knew he was being well taken care of. We would definitely use them again!”
“New to Rover, Steve was at the top of the search list and surely Tako and I experienced why. He was great, he has a way with dogs and absolutely loves them! Very chill, laid back, and accommodated very well to my requests or changes. He is very responsive, updates on how Tako is doing, and detailed Tako’s visit at the end. The added bonus is that all I had to provide for Tako for his stay was a bowl and food, Steve took care of the rest! Tako was in very good hands, allowing me to enjoy my trip with no worries about my furry son. I would definitely recommend him to anyone else and will be asking Steve to dogsit Tako in the future!”
“Ms. Petra was caring and very considerate. She took great care of my pup, and even made last minute accommodations for me. She has earned a lifelong customer and canine companion”
“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.”
“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.”
“If I were a dog, I would think i won the lottery if I got to visit this paradise and meet Marilyn!! My Rusty was absolutely joyous while he was there. Which is unusual as he typically goes into a deep depression when I leave him.”
“Elizabeth and Chris were great! We left our 7 month old puppy for the first time for a family trip and she had a blast. Pictures from Elizabeth showed how much fun our pup had doggy ‘summer camp’”
“Awesome visit! Sammy loved her time with Xue and her family. They sent regular pictures and videos of our little Sammy. Their backyard is huge with lots of area to run/play! I will definitely book again with Xue.”
“Kathi was a pro at dealing with our little Charlie. I could tell that he bonded with her based on his body language. Thank you Kathi, for taking the worry out of this doggie mama.”
“Magen took care of Buddy for me while I was away. She kept me updated with a couple of photos each day and let me know he was doing well. He seemed happy and relaxed when I got home, and it was nice to know he was being walked and cared for. I appreciated having the peace of mind while I was gone. I'll definitely be booking with her again in the future.”
“Lauren did an amazing job taking care of our special needs dog. Her dogs were super friendly and very welcoming of him even though he was much larger than them, and they all seemed to become great friends. We will be utilizing her services again in the future. Highly recommended!”
“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!!”
“First time using rover and such an amazing experience. Lizmarie took amazing care of both of my dogs and sent lots of updates. Will definitely book with her again!”
“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!!”
“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!”
“Melanie is amazing, super kind, and beyond accommodating. She cares about my pup just as much as I do. She’s always super responsive and sends great updates with awesome pictures. Highly recommend.”
“Rae Lynne treated my pups like her own. She continually sent me pictures and videos of them playing and cuddling and Rae Lynne's sweet kids loved on them continuously. Her house is like a dog paradise with a fenced in yard; kids to play with and a loving caretaker! Will be using her in the future!”
“Regan is my go-to sitter for Daisy. Daisy loves going to her house--she walks in and makes herself at home and usually doesn't even care I'm leaving. I get pictures and updates every day I'm away to see my girl is happy and having fun.”

“Michelle was so amazing, it warmed my heart to know someone was actually giving my cat love and attention as much as I would because that’s usually a pet owners biggest fear. I was out of the country for around two weeks and worried about my cat because she tends to be a little shy and scared of new people and typically i only know how to deal with her. Michelle was perfect !! letting my cat slowly warm up to her presence visit by visit. She would send photos every visit and that was very reassuring, she would play with my cat and feed her and cuddle with gigi. I would get photos of gigi playing, running, and cuddling which is not her norm for when she meets new people so i was very happy with that.There wasn’t a moment where I was worried about my gigi. Michelle is so nice and compassionate and sweet and it shows because my gigi warmed up to her, she responds to messages and updates me where i felt reassured and comfortable, I could not be happier that i found her to take care of my cat and i was honestly lucky to have her as my pet sitter.I would definitely choose her again over anyone if I ever had to leave my cat again but in general with any animal because she actually cares.”
About: I am married and have two daughters and a son. They are 12, 8, and 5. I have a wonderful German Shepherd, an Alaskan Klee Kai, and a 20 pound cat named Karen. We love caring for other animals. 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. Just let me know if you have anymore questions and I would be more than willing to answer them! We are very flexible with our schedules. My husband works full-time, but I drive for Uber so I can make my own schedule when needed. We try to stay as active as possible and play with pets in the home. We have a German shepherd that loves the extra play time!
“If I could leave Marianna a 500 star review, that still wouldn’t be enough. I needed last minute care due to a medical emergency, and she not only accommodated my need with less than 18 hours notice, but she did so with a level of care for my kitties that I have never experienced before. Within 15 minutes of her arrival, I had photos and videos of all of my babies (which is no small feat in itself), and she continued to provide multiple updates, photos, and videos. She was so so so loving and gentle with my kitties, stayed with them all day and overnight, and gave me the comfort and reassurance I was desperately needing. I will absolutely be hiring her every time I need a sitter moving forward (hopefully sans the hospital stay and ideally for a fun getaway instead). Thank you so much, Marianna. There are not enough ways to express my gratitude!”
About: **About me** I have always wanted to move to the country and care for animals all my life. My husband (Patrick) and I currently have three rescue dogs and 5 outdoor rescue cats.

We have a fully fenced back yard and a pond to fetching toys if your pet loves to swim. We have wooded trails that we often take walks on and we will have lots of exercise or just hanging out in the back yard.
“Alejandra did an amazing job looking after our two kitties! It can be very difficult to find a sitter that you trust to look after your babies and she proved to be very trustworthy and attentive. We will book again! 💕”
“Good care provided to pups and cats. They are also good communicators. They let us know when they were concerned about the animals. There was also the complication of our house being on the market to sell.”
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.

In the comfort of your home I can let a dog out to their yard, feed/water cats or dogs, play time etc
“Emily is one of the most conscientious sitters we've ever employed. It helps that she absolutely loves animals. She's easy to work with and has excellent communication. Even our standoffish cat didn't hiss or run...he just looked at her and meowed.”
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.

“Claire is THE BEST pet sitter we have EVER had! She is the kindest person and was so fast at responding back while we were away. I could tell our Sampson was comfortable and happy with her and she took the best care of him. We will absolutely be booking with Claire again in the future!! So happy to have found her.”
About: Quality caretaker and enthusiastic attention giver with boots made for walking. I’ve been running around with dogs since before I can remember and have experience working with a varied range of personalities, temperaments, and needs - at all stages of life. Books currently open! My schedule is open, available for both short and long-term care but ideally seeking to provide care for candidates who would like to build an established rapport with consistent routine. I can provide both drop-in & overnight in-home care at this time. Comfortable walking, feeding, teaching, playing, or simply providing regular affection and companionship. Love to go on more involved adventures - just let me know what you’re looking for and we can see if it is a good fit!

“Leslie did an outstanding job in communicating with us throughout the week. Her stay coincided with a severe winter storm and heavy snowfall. She shoveled the sidewalk and driveway repeatedly. Will definitely use her again!”
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 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.
About: Located just 10 minutes west of the Legends of Kansas City, your fur-baby will get the TLC that you’d provide in your own home. Plenty of attention and room to run! I currently work some evenings and weekends in order to homeschool during the day so we are home often. I will be clear about availability during bookings. My family is fur-baby friendly with 4 goats, a flock of chickens, two sweet puppies, and a cat currently. During bookings my two dogs (one is an outdoor farm dog) and cat will be kept separate to ensure the safety and comfort of all. Any medical, training, attention, and care needs will be accommodated as requested by the owner.
“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 🩷”
“Rae and Chris are wonderful with our girl, Pickles. She is a rescue and hadn't been exposed to other dogs in her former home. We really needed to socialize her because we often have guests with dogs at our home. We nervously decided to try day care. Rae and Chris shared their knowledge about dog behavior and reassured us that she would be fine. Within minutes of her first day we got a video of her playing with other dogs! It was amazing, and we feel so happy that we found Rae and Chris. Pickles has been there four times now ... and she LOVES going! We know she's in good hands!”
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: I am married and have two daughters and a son. They are 12, 8, and 5. I have a wonderful German Shepherd, an Alaskan Klee Kai, and a 20 pound cat named Karen. We love caring for other animals.

We have a German shepherd that loves the extra play time!
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.
“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 :)”
“Madison did so well with our energetic 6 month old GSD mix! He can be energetic and she went above and beyond to get him the playtime and exercise he needed. This included walks and playing fetch outside, among other things. He came home a very happy pup!”
“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!”
About: I’ve been taking care of pets and owning dogs (& cats) since I was 15 . I also took dog training classes in Germany . Over the past years I’ve watched friends and coworkers puppies , family and friends cats and did take in some dogs from military friends for vacation ! Our dogs are super friendly with all other pets ! Cats as well as dogs - all sizes! ( they love smaller dogs as a matter of fact!) Currently I’m a stay at home mom with a 13 month old baby! I offer mostly going for walks for busy dog parents during the day (: If you request boarding: We prefer meeting up with the dogs once or twice before taking them in , to make sure they get along. Our puppies love smaller dogs ! I have a fenced yard and a house , my puppies are both friendly with others. If needed or asked to, I can separate the dogs or keep in a crate .
“Rhonda was absolutely amazing! She accepted my dog super last minute, which I was so grateful for, and made the whole process completely stress-free having to leave him for the week. He loved staying with her and was so happy and comfortable the entire time. I truly felt at ease knowing he was safe and well cared for while I was away for the week. I would 100% trust Rhonda again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving, reliable sitter!”
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: I have worked in veterinary Kennels and in shelters. I am also a certified Dog and Cat trainer through Animal Behavior College in 2013. I have been trained in animal first aide. I have a military I.D. so I can also care for military families as well! I come home on my lunch break to let the dogs run in the yard (we NEVER leave the dogs outside on their own for safety from hawks etc). The longest they are alone is 5 hours. Our live revolve around our own dogs so they will feel like one of the family in no time. We have a fenced .75 acre yard that we stay out with them for safety. Older pups will be carried on any stairs to prevent any falls. Kenneling is a part of our home for safety. But if we are home they are out. The dogs have their own room where they kennel that has safety film on the windows so they can benefit from the light but are not tormented by the squirrels in the trees. Cats are kept in their own area as well. I know how important your dog is and I will treat them the way I would want mine treated. With the exception of errands and taking kids to school I am home full time. We treat visitors as one of the pack. Often our visiting pups like to lounge on the couch when not supervised in the yard. I have a fenced yard and dogs are not left outside unattended (especially the little ones). We have a multi layered floor plan so if a dog needs to be alone for a bit we have the ability to do so.
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! I work remotely, so my schedule is nice and flexible. I always enjoy having a part-time job caring for dogs — it’s something I truly love! I take care of each pet as if they were my own. At my home, I offer a warm and safe place with lots of love and playtime. In the client’s home, I keep their pets’ routine the same, making sure they are fed, walked, and cared for just the way the owner prefers.

About: I have worked with leash pulling, dog reactivity, and senior dogs. I am currently a Pet Dog Obedience Trainer in Overland Park Kansas! I am 19 years old and have been working/trained with dogs for at least 10+ years of my life. What started my childhood dog, Katy, continues to be an inspiration for the reach of my life. I work full time during weekdays & weekends are usually pretty open. I am open to dog/house sitting anywhere that is in a 40-45 minute radius of Overland Park. If you live 45 minutes or more from Overland Park I request an additional fee for drive time. I want to go above and beyond for your pets and make sure all their needs are met for you! I want to treat them as if they are my own dog.
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 I currently have four dogs of my own, so I’ve always been surrounded by animals. I work at a dog daycare in Lawrence, where I care for dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities. I supervise playgroups, feed dogs, give medications when needed, and make sure they’re safe and having a good time. Working there has given me experience with all kinds of dogs and taught me how important it is to pay attention to each pet’s individual needs. I’m also experienced with cats and am happy to care for both friendly, outgoing cats and the more shy, independent ones. I recently graduated from high school and will be starting my pre-veterinary studies at JCCC this fall. My dream is to become a veterinarian! My boyfriend, Cameron, is 20 and helps me with pet sitting. He loves animals just as much as I do and has plenty of experience with them. He helped train our German Shepherd from puppyhood and grew up with several cats, so he’s comfortable caring for both dogs and cats. I just like to let everyone know that Cameron may accompany me on visits or overnight stays. We both genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, and we’ll make sure your pets are loved and well cared for while you’re away. 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. So I am able to check your pets every 4-5 hours. 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.
“Erika was able to meet with me on a moment's notice and was very reliable. She even worked it out to drive a little farther than she would have liked. Thank you Erika!”
About: I was always around a dog as a child and grew up knowing what they wanted, when to go outside, when to feed them and make sure they were played with. They can be unbelievable friends and I think they keep our lives actively expanding. I like to work part time and do the dog sitting when ever it's needed. It can be a random cases and I'm more welcoming to act on immediate services needed. I male sure the pet doesn't get into anything. For example: The trash can, anything chemical on the floor and make sure before they come over...if dog is being watched from my home. I make sure to clean up vacuum and make sure it's an very clean environment. Only feed them what pet owners advise me to give their dogs.
“It was truly a pleasure to have Alyssa walk our girls on a regular basis. She's responsive, flexible, but above all, reliable. We thank you for being an outstanding Rover!”

For late night checks and overnights I ask for a minimum of 8 hour notice. I currently only provide services in the client's home or walks.

In my home I have a cat and a German shepherd puppy! They typically eat at 5 am, go outside after 20-30 minutes after meal time. I will cuddle with both of them on the couch and play fetch with my pup until I do daily activities such as cleaning, etc. I take breaks to let my pup outside and take her on a walk if it’s a decent temperature outside. I also help take care of my grandmas pups as well, bunch of cuddly pups it’s like a dream come true. I work commands with my pup often throughout the day, walking around with a treat bag. I always check for ticks on each dog after they’ve been outside it’s summer! They like to come out more often now. I will always ask of a pets diet regimen, such as their foods, allergies, favorite treats, if they have sensitive stomachs, or if they are fully vaccinated! I also have a car that has pet covers on the seat because of my fur baby who loves car rides. I will ask what your pets schedule looks like such as feeding times, and bathroom breaks.
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up caring for dogs, cats, horses, goats, chickens, and turkeys, which gave me hands-on experience with animals of all kinds from a young age. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs for family, friends, and neighbors, gaining experience with everything from puppy potty and crate training to feeding, walking, bathing, administering basic care, and providing lots of love and attention. I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels, and I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I'm currently working part time, so I have plenty of time within my days to love and care for your fur babies while your're unable to! I have a fenced yard with lots of other friendly dogs that are always eager to have another playmate! Between crate training, potty training, or walks with your pup I am able and willing to do it all!
About: I have taken care of dogs before. I have a bigger dog and smaller cat of my own at home but not in Kansas. I love all types of animals!!

I am definitely willing to spend the night if necessary and can let out however often the owner would like.
About: My sister runs kennels of all types of animals, i’ve gained so many experiences from her to bring proper care to your (fur) children ! i currently work part time as a barista, and i love animals so much so why not fit them into all of my free time! i have a big fenced yard that we keep clean, i have big pet beds and 3 different watering stations at my house. I am very good at reading animal language and have a certain knack for taking care of animals!
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 grew up taking care of puppies and rescues with my mom, and then moved into helping at a shelter while I was in college. As a grad student and current renter, I can’t have pets of my own so am glad to have the chance to get some cuddles in with yours. I'm happy to work with dogs of all ages and sizes and follow direction well if you are working with any training techniques. I have a soft spot for older dogs in particular and am also happy to look after any plants. I currently attend KU as a grad student where I teach two days a week and am focused on finishing my thesis this semester. I have a fairly flexible schedule and so can maintain a consistent routine for most pets while you’re gone. I’ve traveled a lot and been fortunate to be a guest in many people’s home. I pride myself on being respectful and leaving a house at least as good as I found it. I also try to prioritize pet comfort since I'm a guest in their home too. I try to let them lead interactions so they have a chance to warm up on their own level. I'm also happy to respect household rules and uphold the boundaries the pets are used to (ie., if they're not allowed on certain furniture). If you have any plants that need care while you're away, I love leaning into my green thumb too.
About: Quality caretaker and enthusiastic attention giver with boots made for walking. I’ve been running around with dogs since before I can remember and have experience working with a varied range of personalities, temperaments, and needs - at all stages of life. Books currently open! My schedule is open, available for both short and long-term care but ideally seeking to provide care for candidates who would like to build an established rapport with consistent routine. I can provide both drop-in & overnight in-home care at this time. Comfortable walking, feeding, teaching, playing, or simply providing regular affection and companionship. Love to go on more involved adventures - just let me know what you’re looking for and we can see if it is a good fit!
About: I’ve been taking care of animals for over 15 years now! I currently have a dog named Hunter and a cat named Harrison! I love animals, so I will make sure your fur baby gets all the loving! Friends and family have relied on me for years, so you know you’re in the best of hands! I currently teach school at an elementary school so I am available anytime after 4:30 during the week! I promise your fur baby will get lots of attention! I make sure everything in the home is neater than when I came in. If the animals make any messes, I always clean it up. I treat the owners home with care and respect.

“Daniel and Carolyn were wonderful with our very active almost 1 year old Bernedoodle. They were very good about communicating with us daily and were very patient with him and kept him busy while we were gone. We knew he was being well taken care of. We would definitely use them again!”
“New to Rover, Steve was at the top of the search list and surely Tako and I experienced why. He was great, he has a way with dogs and absolutely loves them! Very chill, laid back, and accommodated very well to my requests or changes. He is very responsive, updates on how Tako is doing, and detailed Tako’s visit at the end. The added bonus is that all I had to provide for Tako for his stay was a bowl and food, Steve took care of the rest! Tako was in very good hands, allowing me to enjoy my trip with no worries about my furry son. I would definitely recommend him to anyone else and will be asking Steve to dogsit Tako in the future!”
“Ms. Petra was caring and very considerate. She took great care of my pup, and even made last minute accommodations for me. She has earned a lifelong customer and canine companion”
“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.”
“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.”
“If I were a dog, I would think i won the lottery if I got to visit this paradise and meet Marilyn!! My Rusty was absolutely joyous while he was there. Which is unusual as he typically goes into a deep depression when I leave him.”
“Elizabeth and Chris were great! We left our 7 month old puppy for the first time for a family trip and she had a blast. Pictures from Elizabeth showed how much fun our pup had doggy ‘summer camp’”
“Magen took care of Buddy for me while I was away. She kept me updated with a couple of photos each day and let me know he was doing well. He seemed happy and relaxed when I got home, and it was nice to know he was being walked and cared for. I appreciated having the peace of mind while I was gone. I'll definitely be booking with her again in the future.”
“Lauren did an amazing job taking care of our special needs dog. Her dogs were super friendly and very welcoming of him even though he was much larger than them, and they all seemed to become great friends. We will be utilizing her services again in the future. Highly recommended!”
“First time using rover and such an amazing experience. Lizmarie took amazing care of both of my dogs and sent lots of updates. Will definitely book with her again!”

“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!”
“Melanie is amazing, super kind, and beyond accommodating. She cares about my pup just as much as I do. She’s always super responsive and sends great updates with awesome pictures. Highly recommend.”
“Rae Lynne treated my pups like her own. She continually sent me pictures and videos of them playing and cuddling and Rae Lynne's sweet kids loved on them continuously. Her house is like a dog paradise with a fenced in yard; kids to play with and a loving caretaker! Will be using her in the future!”
“Regan is my go-to sitter for Daisy. Daisy loves going to her house--she walks in and makes herself at home and usually doesn't even care I'm leaving. I get pictures and updates every day I'm away to see my girl is happy and having fun.”
“Samantha is an excellent dog sitter! She invited Honey and Walter over for a meet and greet a few weeks before the boarding date for everyone to get acquainted. The pups settled right in and enjoyed their time. Samantha checked in regularly and sent pictures to show what they were up to. We will definitely board our dogs with her again!”
“Brittany was absolutely great for us. She provided daily updates and was very flexible with drop off and pick up. Russell loved playing with their dog and kids. Would highly recommend”
“Jessica was fantastic to work with. She was able to help us out last minute which we really appreciated. She was quick to respond and updated us on how our baby was doing during her stay. She even offered alternative food when our dog wasn’t eating. We’ll definitely be using her again!”
“Amelia & Matthew quickly responded to our request for dog sitting within a few days before our unexpected trip out of town. The greet & meet was helpful, since we haven’t used this service in years. We were getting fun updates, videos & pictures of Bailey! Definitly makes it easier to leave our sweet girl, knowing she’s having fun! Excited to have a great option for dog sitting in Lawrence! Thanks again! ?”
“This is my third time booking with Valentine! She does a great job ensuring the comfortability of my cat! My cat is usually shy but is always quick to warm up to Valentine. Valentine does also does a great job communicating and keeping you updated!”
