“Jessica was great with our 2 dogs. One is 14 and requires a lot of care, and the other was a 1 year old pup who also needed extra attention. Definitely would recommend Jessica to anyone.”
“Incredible! Griffin planned fun events for our pup and gave plenty of updates. Made for an easy trip knowing Andy was well cared for. Highly recommend!”
“We found a gem with Susan and her family. She requested a walk through before our first boarding, which completely put our minds at ease and made sure our two dogs were a good fit. While away, she sent regular updates and pics of our girls to let us know they were being loved on. I actually think they missed playing at Susan’s when we brought them home! We’ll definitely be boarding with Susan and her fam again in the future.”
“I appreciated the communication and photos while we were away. Our pup was calm and happy at drop off and pick up. I recommend this family and I will rebook next time we need to board our dog.”

“Sarah was absolutely phenomenal! She was so accommodating/flexible and reassuring. She send plenty of updates and I know my two pups had an absolute blast with hef. She has the perfect set up! It made me feel way less guilty leaving my babies behind knowing that Sarah has a fantastic yard for them to play in. Almost felt like dropping the pups off at a Summer camp. I am a very anxious dog mom and I felt at ease knowing that my babies were in great hands. If I could leave more than 5 stars, I would!”

“Daniel did an absolutely fantastic job watching my two dogs Quinn (a senior dog) and Phineas (a puppy).

Highly recommend!”

“I highly recommend Bailey B. She provides drop-in services for my cat, Lucy, when I travel. On very short notice, I needed to change the planned dates and Bailey was very accommodating. She makes sure Lucy is well fed, the litter box is always clean, she plays with Lucy or lets her out side on the secure deck. It's been a blessing having Bailey look after Lucy when I need to leave town.”

“Jessica was great! We needed a sitter in a pinch, and she was there with open arms for our senior dog. He had such a great time relaxing in the warmth with other puppies. I would recommend Jessica: excellent communication, nice picture updates, and overall wonderful experience.”
“Stephanie provided excellent care for Elvis during his daycare! She sent me pictures of him throughout the day. I will be booking with her again!”
“Derrika is FANTASTIC!!! She and her family are so incredibly friendly, kind and warm hearted. On the first day that Yogi (my doggo) was there he warmed up immediately - this was so easy for him as he knows & trusts great people. I got several lovely pictures - one of which was Yogi on her couch resting his head on her son’s legs. Yogi doesn’t do this unless he is very chill. You & your doggo will be grateful that you found her!!”
“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.”
“This was our first time using Christine for doggy daycare and I couldn’t be happier! She’s extremely communicative — sending thoughtful updates and pictures throughout my shift — which really put my mind at ease. Christine went above and beyond to make buddy and I feel comfortable. It’s clear she truly cares about the dogs she watches, and we’re so grateful for the wonderful experience. Highly recommend!”

“Anna and her team did such an amazing job taking care of our furbaby! They were super easy to communicate with and we’re always willing to provide updates with pictures included about our pups. They provided the best of care for our pup and had an array of places for him (fenced in) for him to run like crazy! They even have a designated dog area in their home! I was so happy that my dog (who normally is never relaxed when he’s away) was actually able to lay down and sleep! Truly amazing work and I’m so excited for our next booking!”
“Jennifer did a wonderful job caring for our bulldog. He loved her so much and her space was just the right size with a fenced in yard. Highly recommend her and will be using her again.”
About: I've been taking care of my own pets (4 cats and 1 dog) for years and used to work as a Rainbow Valley vet clinic walker and boarder! I am currently living in Kansas City and my beloved kitty Nala who joined me up here passed in October. So I currently do not have any pets at home and would love some company boarding animals! I love watching both cats and dogs 🥰 I work from home and have very flexible work hours, so I have plenty of time for boarding and walking! I live in a house with a yard and have plenty of space for your pets to roam indoors! I have a medium sized yard for dogs and a house all to myself most of the time for animals to have their space! I love boarding overnight because of animal cuddles. I don't have a fence, but if your dog has a harness it won't be a problem at all!
About: I've been fostering the last few years and have experience with all sizes and types of dogs. I'm great with puppies and provide a calm routine. I work from home and as a rule don't leave my dog home alone for more than 4 hours when I do go out. My partner and I have a good routine of taking our dog Charlie out to play in the morning and evening in the back yard. I'm around all day for potty breaks. I have a fenced in yard and a very calm home environment. I have a 35 lb dog, Charlie who sleeps all day while I work. We live in a quiet neighborhood that's great for walks.
“Thank you so much for taking such great care of him. He loves hanging out with you. It's funny because we will tell him where he's going in the morning and he gets so excited!”
About: As a young child I begged my parents to get a dog. I took the “D” encyclopedia into my room every night to study dog breeds. I spent years consuming every dog book I could get my hands on. I even created a dog walking business, made fliers, and handed them out to all of my neighbors. I finally got a puppy in 1st grade. She was my best friend. She went along with all of my crazy antics as I tried to make her a sled dog, a hunting dog, and even an agility dog. I also had fish, lizards, and a rabbit. I now live in KC with my husband and our baby! We recently lost both of our senior dogs. I wish I could adopt all of the dogs in need! In the meantime, I would love to help take care of yours. I work from home! That means I’ll have plenty of time to spend with your precious dog. I only ask that your dog gets along with babies/kids. I am used to taking care of dogs of all sizes, ages, and energy levels. I’m confident I can take care of yours too.
“Our puppy had a great time. He came home tired and just laid around the whole night. He acted just as tired as he does coming home from doggy daycare. Huge plus when you have a puppy. They took them on several walks during the day too! would definitely recommend and we hope Dennis gets to go back soon!”
“Joy has watched rocket a few times now but this was the longest stay yet! I am so grateful that she was able to watch rocket and show her so much love. It is a lot easier leaving her knowing she is getting so much love and attention from Joy!”
“This was the first time I had used Kaitlin for a doggy daycare visit for my pup Addie. Kaitlin took great care to re-introduce Addie to her puppy and I really appreciated that. Kaitlin kept me updated during the day. And Addie settled right in and seemed right at home. Will definitely use Kaitlin again. Mary Ann Anderson”

“Ron was terrific! I loved that I was able to find a walker in my neighborhood. He and Kerry bonded and they both seemed to love each other’s company.”
About: I’ve been the resident cat and dog sitter since I was a teen in my family and friend group. I have worked with dogs big and small, and cats of many temperaments. I have been an overnight sitter for both animals, and have experience walking, playing, following routines, and making the pets feel comfortable and loved. I have followed medication routines and given medications for both cats and dogs as well when needed, and am comfortable doing so. I am currently working part time while going to grad school, so I am back and forth from the house and able to check on any pets throughout the day. My home has plenty of space for another cat to hang out. In my home, I try to make the environment as comfortable for other pets as possible and make sure they feel safe and secure as they would in their own home. As for visiting pets at their homes, I enjoy knowing their habits and preferences, so I can cater to their needs as closely to their normal lifestyle as I can. Simply put, I want pets to feel at home and safe regardless of their location, and do my best to love them and their needs whatever they may be.
“If I could have Evey as Gus's personal nanny, I would! She is top notch from communication, to pictures, to reliability. She goes the extra mile and truly enjoys what she does and it shows!”
About: Hi, I'm Sophie! I grew up surrounded by animals and have been pet sitting for over 12 years. I also volunteer at a local animal shelter, where I regularly walk dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I provide dependable, loving care so your pet will be in good hands. I work 3 days a week so I have lots of time to keep your pets happy! My schedule varies weekly and can be flexible. I follow your pet's normal routine to help them feel comfortable and happy. I'll make sure they have fresh food and water, potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and plenty of affection
About: I take my dog (Louie) on walks daily, so I would love to add your dog to our routine! I’ve been dog sitting for 20+ years, in addition to my family always having at least one dog. I personally love smaller dogs. I have experience with rat terriers, cavapoo, yorkies and cavalier king charles breeds. I love pets and think they’re so important to a family! Let me help you keep your pet happy and healthy 😁 I live on the Plaza so I’m in a very walkable part of town, near many parks. I walk my dog in the evenings after work - a quick workout for both of us. We love to walk around Kansas City together! When I’m home, Louie is always right by my side - on the couch, in bed or even while I’m cooking. I crate him most nights and while I’m at work. I live in an apartment so walks are very necessary - we go on at least one a day or we run in my apartment’s dog park. Would love to add your dog to the mix!
About: Caring for animals is one of my greatest joys. I've cared for everything from energetic vizslas and sheepdogs to strong willed Akitas, so I am comfortable with all kinds of personalities and temperaments. Whether its long walks, playtime, cuddles or sticking to your pet's routine, I'll care for them with the same love and attention I would my own. You can count on me to be dependable, communicative and to send photos and updates, so you will know your pet is happy and safe while you're away. I recently retired from my full time job and have plenty of time to devote to dog walks and pet visits. My schedule is flexible and we should be able to work something out. I would follow the pets routine as instructed by the owner and be sure to keep it as stress free for the pet as possible. I make sure the pet receives plenty of attention and affection.
About: I have cared for my friend’s dogs while they are away many times. I enjoy providing animals with enrichment and making sure they get ample exercise. I am careful around new dogs to let them show me what kind of care they prefer, and strive to make my time with them as enjoyable as possible for both of us. I have full time evening employment. I am available to care for pets Sunday-Thursday 9am to 2pm (meaning my latest available visit would start at 1:30pm for an 30 min visit), and All day Fridays and Saturdays! I have lots of experience with sneaky animals who love eating things they are not supposed to eat or hiding in places they should not be. I am diligent with putting away foodstuffs and making sure doors/ screens are shut. Please let me know if your pet has these behaviors so I can be prepared before the visit.
“Michael's been such an asset to our family. I have to travel for work sometimes, and can be away for months at a time. Knowing Michael will be there to walk our girl gives me such peace of mind. And getting photos from their walks really makes my day when I am feeling homesick. Thank you, Michael!”
“Ava does a wonderful job with Truly. She's been walking her daily for the past weeks, and is always punctual and professional. Comnunivation has been clear and easy, and Truly seems to love her walks!”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life and I am super passionate about animals. I have experienced both owning and sitting animals of all ages (especially puppies) and I would love to get to know your fuzzy friends!😊 I am a student, but currently on break for the summer so I am very flexible! I am a runner so long walks don’t bother me at all. Animals are one of my passions so I will be giving your fur baby as much attention as it needs. Whether that is a walk, a food and water refill, some pets or a simple potty break, I will be there!
“Came over the day before to meet Sawyer. Went for walk on trail near my house even though I said they could just walk the neighborhood. Went above and beyond, would book again!”
“Christina is fantastic! Our dogs boarded with her and had such a good stay, and we got plenty of updates while we were away. She also walked them on very last minute notice due to our regular walkers falling through. We highly recommend Christina and are already booked for repeat service with her in the near future!”
About: I got my first family dog when I was in middle school, no professional experience but I know to handle and care for dogs, wanting to gain some professional experience I currently work part time, about 30 hours a week. Weekday evenings after 5, Friday afternoons/evenings, and weekends are free! Looking to help with short term dog care as I gain experience in pet care. I don’t currently have any pets, but I have a spacious apartment with a fenced in backyard and a small front yard. Near lots of parks.
“Sarah is always so great with my dog and he loves going on walks with her! She is so quick to respond to messages and really flexible with my hectic schedule! Would definitely recommend her working with any and all dogs :)”
About: I will treat your dog the way I treat my own. I know what it’s like to leave your baby with a new person. You’ll have nothing to worry about. I’ll give your dog all the love care and play they could want. I’m a travel nurse, and I am in between contracts so I am free every day! Your dog will have my full attention and all my love. I put the safety and happiness of your pet first. I pay attention to detail and cleanliness. I have a fenced in yard. My dog is a typical golden retriever, she doesn’t have an aggressive or bossy bone in her body. She loves everyone and everything. So your dog will be very comfortable.
