We felt very happy with her services and her quick ability to communicate before and during our trip.”
About: I've been around cats my entire life and have experience caring for cats of all ages, from playful kittens to senior cats. I understand feline behavior, respect each cat's individual personality, and strive to provide loving, reliable care that helps them feel comfortable and secure while you're away.

About: I am available for drop ins over the holidays! I have spent my entire life around animals! I have extensive experience with cats, dogs, and horses, as well as some experience with small pets, including rabbits, ferrets, and aquarium animals. I am certified in Cat & Dog first aid through the Red Cross, and I have previously worked full-time at a doggy daycare and boarding facility, so I have plenty of experience with all different types of dogs. I am also comfortable administering oral and topical medications, and have limited experience with injected medications. My schedule tends to be very flexible; however, I appreciate requests made well in advance. Please be aware that on a typical day I am ONLY available in the mornings and evenings, not at midday. I have experience taking care of many anxious pets, so I always work hard to make sure that each animal is as comfortable and happy as they can be! During walks, that means sniffing if they want to sniff and running if they want to run. I do not interact with other dogs or people on walks, no matter the friendliness/reactivity level of your dog, to keep yours as safe as possible.
About: Please claim a a spot for the holidays early :) I have 2 years of dedicated pet care experience looking after a variety of breeds. I focus on creating a safe, fun, and stress-free environment for your pets while you are away. I love providing long walks, plenty of playtime, and lots of individual attention. Because I dedicate myself to pet care full-time, my schedule is completely open and flexible. I am fully available for overnight boarding, weekend stays, and daytime visits, ensuring I can perfectly match your pet's normal daily schedule. I love taking care of animals, and nothing is more important to me than making sure every single pet feels loved and safe. I have a secure fenced yard for outdoor playtime and can easily take your pet on long walks if needed. For pets who aren't well with other pets, I will make sure to reserve those days for ONLY that pet. Every animal deserves to be comfortable. I only accept pets that are friendly and comfortable around other dogs during bookings that require more than one pet. NOTE: For safety reasons, I cannot accept pets that are aggressive or lash out at people. Safety is my top priority, and I reserve the right to decline bookings if a pet is not a good fit.
“This daycare has been great for my super fearful rescue who came from a puppy mill/hoarding situation so she has no idea how to be a dog. They have been SO patient with her and having somewhere affordable she can go while I work 12 hour shifts has been such a relief I can't even verbalize the magnitude of difference it has created in our lives. I'm telling anyone and everyone who will listen about this place. Cannot recommend enough.”
“Ashlyn was amazing! She has a beautiful home in a beautiful neighborhood that’s close to downtown KC and amazing parks, it was very convenient to drop Snowy off every day while I played in a tennis tournament. She sent photo’s every day, I’ll absolutely book with her again if I’m in town.”
“Lindsey was wonderful with our pup, Carlton! He spent several hours exploring in the amazing backyard with the sweetest dog, Stella. Love Lindsey’s care of our boy!”
“Paige was amazing. She helped me out with pet care when I was in town for a conference and my dog came home happy and satisfied from a long day of play and attention. She was so communicative and helpful and my pup had a great time with her. She clearly has a love for taking care of animals and I would definitely book her again!”
“Andrea and her family did an incredible job of taking care of our old doggie. She kept us informed, sent pictures and was all around great! I would recommend Andrea to anyone who needs a dog sitter.”
“I can't thank Griffin enough for taking care of my dog on such short notice. They were incredibly accommodating and provided excellent care. Highly recommended!"”
“Olivia was our lifesaver! I probably got this this week and has had a really hard time with the healing process so we were looking for a babysitter at the last second and Olivia swooped in and eased all of our concerns. She was attentive and sweet and made us feel so comfortable leaving him in her care while we were at work. Her dog Sully is adorable and was a great playmate for him all day. We loved using her and cannot wait to again!”
“Couldn’t be a better first time Rover experience! Clover had a great day and Allison was awesome in communicating and 6:20 am pick up sure made my day easier. Will use again! 10/10”
“Victoria was absolutely incredible with my puppy. She sent me photo updates throughout the day and gave him plenty of attention. He was so worn out after his day at Victoria’s he was asleep before we got out of the neighborhood. Will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Greg was very accommodating when our schedule changed a bit! He had a few others dogs he was sitting and was very concerned about temperament for all of them to make sure it was a good experience for all! Our dog had a great time and was very well taken care of! She had a blast!”
“This review is slightly overdue but Megan is amazing! She has been working with my puppy for a few months now, letting him spend the day with her. She is great with dogs, spends time teaching him commands, helped with potty training, the works! I cannot recommend her enough to someone looking for a new rover to care for your pup.”
About: I have had both dogs, cats, and even reptiles. Of all ages and sizes. I have watched others pets while they went on vacation. I can provide pretty much all care you require. I work from home so I will be there to care for your pets all day. If I have to run out for an errand my fiancé will be home so your pet will almost always have someone with them. I am willing to let dogs out as much as they need, play with them in our back yard, take walks, and snuggle them at night if your pet desires. We have our own dog who likes all of these things as well.

“Michael does excellent work. He is always on time, provides excellent, thorough info on the walk and status of our pet. He is very caring, and playful with our pet. Michael is also respectful of our home, takes off his shoes when entering and always cleans our pets paws after the walk. I highly recommend Michael.”
“Debbie did a great job with our little Ayla!! We appreciate your being responsible and giving her a few walks! Thank you for the nice notes and for taking such great care of our granny pup!”
About: I offer a fun but structured environment where your pet can feel like part of the family. I have lifelong experience with taking care of and training dogs of all different breeds and backgrounds. As a stay-at-home mom of two young kids and a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I am home mostly all day, and ready to cater to whatever schedule your pup might already be used to. When your pup is here, they will become part of the furry family. I will keep feeding, walks, and playtime consistent with their normal schedule so they feel comfortable and settled. Since I’m home most of the day, they get plenty of attention and play. Most importantly they aren’t left alone for long periods. We also have a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely run and play.
“I would definitely recommend Kirby to anyone to care for their fur babies! I have an anxious dog who tends to scare people and rarely likes anyone. Kirby definitely has a way with dogs. Milo warmed up to her faster than I’ve seen him warm up to anyone. Literally within minutes he was relaxed when she came for the meet and greet. She kindly took on sitting for my dogs last minute and gave me consistent updates with photos! It was wonderful to find someone I can trust to sit with my dogs and love on them just as much as I do. For once, I didn’t worry one bit while I was out.”
“Emily went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable since we are new to having a dog walker. Emily’s updates and pictures were fantastic. Cyrus loved her snuggles and pets! He was nice and tired after a 2 mile walk.”
About: Grew up on a farm in West Texas where we raised and trained Brittany Spaniels as bird dogs. We have recently moved to the KC area. I have never not had a dog. We absolutely love all animals, but dogs just have a sweet spot in our hearts. We have a 7 year old Aussie who is as sweet as she can be. I work from home, and my job is very flexible. Therefore, I am available almost all the time to love and spoil your pups! We are available just about every weekend. I have a fenced backyard, and one friendly dog to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog if needed, or work with you on any other accommodations that your fur baby may need.
“Lindsey was so great! This was our first time booking Lindsey and she was so professional, caring towards our dog, and so patient with her puppy tendencies. Look forward to working with Lindsey again soon!”
About: I've grown up with dogs and cats my whole life. I currently have two boxers and a morkie (Maltese Yorkie mix). I used to work part-time at a vet clinic so I have experience with all sizes and breeds of dogs and cats. I currently work part time at a doggy daycare. I currently have a lot of free time so although I have dogs of my own I will have plenty of time and energy to care for your fur babies! I have plenty of experience with walking (and playing with) dogs of all sizes. I also have experience giving dogs and cats medication such as pills, injections, or topical. I have also pet-sit cats a many times, just checking in every day or even staying with them so I can feed, water, and play with them.
About: Hi, I’m Victoria! Dogs are my passion. I have worked at two prominent doggy daycares in the Kansas City area and I have a background in rescue and fostering! I am experienced with wide variety of dogs and situations, including dogs with aggression! While your pet is my care, safety will be my top priority. I can perform nail trims and bathing as well as help with basic training. I have two senior dogs of my own, both of whom are off leashed trained and well socialized! All my pets are up to date on rabies vaccinations as well! We also have a backyard with a privacy fence for your pup to play and romp in with my dogs! Your pet is in great hands when they stay at my home! We cannot wait to meet you and your pet!
“Lilli absolutely wonderful! I book with her pretty much weekly and she is very flexible and communicative when days do/ don’t work! I can tell Archie is well taken care of when she comes to walk him!”
“Griffin is such an asset! He is wonderful with Billy and you can tell that he’s very knowledgeable about dogs. He leaves great detailed messages post walk and makes sure your pup is settled and happy before he leaves. I recommend Griffin to all my friends. Billy and I truly appreciate him!”
“Kelly is absolutely amazing and a true animal lover! I was out of town for a week and she came over every day to walk my very stubborn dog. She won her over and got her out and moving every day. Kelly had great communication and was punctual. I would highly recommend Kelly and I will be using her again.”
About: I've had a dog ever since I was a child and I married into a cat-loving family so I have experience and love for both pets! I love being outdoors and active as I'm an avid runner in my free time. Walking pets outside is the best of both worlds! Midwest weather also makes chilling with them inside just as fun from time to time haha. I'm a flexible caregiver and my main goal is customer satisfaction. Reach out with any questions you may have for me before booking! I work full-time in a hybrid role from 8-5 and can take an hour lunch at any time. I'm consistently free mornings, evenings, and weekends. I'll always do my best to find a time that works for you! Respecting your home and leaving it just as good as you left it is something I pride myself in. Don't be afraid to ask me to complete any duties to clean up after your pet in addition to taking care of it.
“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 have taken care of dogs since i was in high school and have a passion for animals. I have had dogs stay with me and also have just walked dogs when needed. I am open to helping in anyway i can! Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, active, and loved. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide regular walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I also make time for updates and communication with pet parents so they feel comfortable while they’re away. Caring for pets is something I enjoy as part of my everyday life, not just a side task. I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where pets can feel relaxed and at home. I follow each pet’s regular routine for feeding, walks, playtime, medication, and rest so they stay comfortable while away from their owners. Pets receive plenty of attention, affection, and supervision throughout the day, and I make sure they get regular potty breaks and exercise. I also keep pet parents updated with photos and messages so they know their pets are happy and well cared for.
About: I grew up with dogs and all of my kids have dogs, so not only am I a grandpa, I was a dog grandpa first! I also sit and love cats. They always find me. Had four dogs in my house for many times watching when my kids traveled, but now they moved so I have more time to get my fur feed. I take walks and would love to walk your pups but also can follow your guidelines doing the best to keep their routine. I work from home but occasionally have appointments outside of the home, so I am very available to work with your schedule. I will share my schedule with you when booking. I have a fenced yard and a great neighborhood for walking. Friendly home environment with access to fresh food/water and sunshine. Your dog/cat will be well-loved.
