“Samantha was so wonderful! She was able to take my two dogs Remy and Piper on short notice I was in town for my son’s wedding and Samantha came to my hotel to meet us and then was able to care for them during all the festivities. She picked them up and also brought them back. She was so loving and kind to them. I just fell in love with her. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Thank you, Samantha, from the bottom of my heart!”
“Kylie is AWESOME!!! She sent great updates and pictures of my dog everyday. Super communication and accommodating for my crazy schedule. It looked like my dog had more fun with Kylie’s pack than she does at home. Definitely will book again.”
“Amy was amazing! I truly felt she cared about my Doggies well being. She made sure she was prepared for him, her communication and flexibility was amazing! She made my anxiety about leaving him go away! Thank you!!!!”
“Sasha was amazing! I needed a sitter due to a medical emergency, there were so many things at play to where I was out of town when our dog was ready to be picked up. My dad who was just recovering from surgery was not as fast he usually was post surgery. We had to coordinate and navigate a lot considering this was also our first time using Rover. Sasha was patient in navigating the frustrations with pick up. She was very hands on with our dog and communicated with us as we navigated his needs and this app for the first time. I highly recommend her to anyone needing a pet sitter. Thanks for your help Sasha and helping our family during this time and not having to travel 20 hours with our German shepherd. I cannot even imagine what that would have been like. We appreciate you!”
“Eric and Halie were amazing pet sitters for my dog, Obi! Obi can be a bit anxious, but they were amazing at setting both him, and his mom, at ease! They kept me updated on how he was doing with pictures and messages every couple of days. They were also very good about this nervous mom and her first boarding experience. Very friendly. Wonderful sitters. 10/10”
“We are repeat bookers with Heather and her and her family always do a wonderful job. Our pup was well loved and was excited to see her again! Will be booking with Heather again in the future!”
“Unfortunately, Pepper's stay was cut short due to a canceled flight. However, for the short period of time that she was in Keitel C.'s care, she was well taken care of. I checked in to see how Pepper was doing and I received an immediate response with pictures of Pepper. Keitel C. is very responsive, which is important.”
“When my dog is at Aurora‘s home, I don’t worry about the care that she’s going to receive. It’s always excellent and they generally seem to really like my dog. I recommend her highly. She does a great job.”

“Lilly was fantastic with our dog, Bear! She accepted our last minutes request for boarding and was easy to coordinate with. She was very responsive and provided pictures and updates daily. We will definitely ask her to watch our dog again next time we leave town and highly recommend her to others!”
“Kylee was amazing!! We have 2 high energy dogs and she handled them beautifully, lots of attention and activity. She was communicative and very easy to work with. Definitely recommend!!”
“I cannot say this from the rooftops loud enough, but Kate was amazing! From the moment she got our dog Abbey, I received photos and updates throughout our trip. She was able to spot check a few things at our house when she picked up our dog and even checked on the cat without us asking. We could tell Kate cared a lot about our dog and was very considerate with the time to pick up our dog. We are grateful that our dog loved her and her pets so much, she slept like a rock after their visit! This makes our next stay out of town a breeze, because we know who we are going back to!”
“My husband and I were very impressed with Debbie and her husband. We needed someone to watch her while we went to the state fair. It was late notice but she immediately responded that it would be no problem watching her. Debbie even sent us pics of Zoey saying our dog was doing well. We could tell by how quickly Zoey fell asleep that night that she had a busy fun day.”
“Thank you for taking care of our 2 girls, Ron! They had never stayed away from home and didn’t have much socializing beforehand. Ron was patient and understanding. He sent pictures and updates to let us know they were behaving and having a good time. When we picked them up, I don’t think they wanted to leave!”
“Rémy took to Cheryl and her dogs very well, and Cheryl kept me posted with photos. That helped reassure me that he was in good hands! Definitely will use Cheryl’s dog sitting services again!”
“Chloe did a great job taking care of our dogs! She was easy to communicate with and responded promptly. She sent photos every day. We met beforehand and I felt very comfortable leaving my dogs with her.”
“My dog was very well cared for and came home from his 4 day stay happy and tired! Halie sent pics and videos everyday. It was obvious he was very comfortable and felt right at home. He can be anxious especially when away from home so I am super happy with Halie!”

“Lucille was wonderful as always! She provides lots of details about our cats care and is very communicative. Setting up visits with her is easy and our cats love her!”
“Kylie was lovely to work with. She understood when Luna and Nimbus needed space and gradually let them get used to her. Kylie also took good care of Luna and Nimbus, and was able to accommodate the pickup and drop off of keys. I would definitely book with Kylie again whenever I need a petsitter!”

“Becky did such a wonderful job with my kitty! She was very responsive and sent lots of pictures. My kitty looked so happy and at ease with her. If you’re looking for a fantastic cat sitter look no further than Becky. I will definitely be using her again! Thank you so much Becky!”
“Sarah is just a lovely human and we are so grateful to her for watching our cats and house over the holidays. We looked forward to the photos and witty summary of each visit--its clear our two cats were very well taken care of, and our home was in safe hands. Sarah clearly knows kitties and how to curate care to fit their personalities. We would certainly recommend Sarah and be comfortable using her pet sitting services again in the future. Thanks again, Sarah!”

I always secure doors, gates, and leashes, and make sure pets are safely settled before I leave.
“Jacob was great with our dogs. He was punctual, reliable, friendly with them. One of our dog is not easy around people but he can make her trust him.The other one falls in love with him and waiting Jacob to rub his belly. I 'd definitely have him to take care our dogs again, also his kindness to feed a homeless cat volunteering. Communication was great and we were so happy to see our dogs pictures everyday. Thanks Jacob. .”

“I cannot tell you how happy I was with Jamie and her family. I came for state track meet from Texas and needed a place for my doodle to go for the day. Jamie sent me videos of him having fun and napping. I felt so relaxed and able to enjoy my day knowing Jack was having the best day. At meet and greet I knew she would spoil my Jack! Thank you so much Jamie. I cannot say enough wonderful things about you!!”

“Brittney is awesome! She totally put me at ease when leaving my puppy Grace in Daycare for the first time. She made sure Gracie had time to adjust before introducing her to the resident dogs. She provided me with updates during the day. Gracie wanted to go with Brittney the second day so drop off was easy. I highly recommend her.”

About: I'm an elementary art teacher who loves caring for animals on my breaks! I have a dog and 3 cats, which are all rescues. I kennel and command trained my dog when she was a puppy and snap trained my cats to come when I call. I love going on walks, playing, and spending time with animals!

This allows me lots of flexibility for additional care while you may have a busy holiday season! ❄️ I follow whatever rules, needs, and guidelines you have in place for your pet in your home. I will lovingly and diligently meet their needs, creating a safe and comfortable environment.
About: My husband and I are lifelong dog lovers who both grew up with dogs and couldn’t imagine our home without them! We currently have three adopted pups from the Kansas Humane Society, and over the past three years we’ve also fostered 11 dogs through KHS — including 5 puppies. Caring for dogs of different ages, personalities, and energy levels has taught us how important patience, routine, and a loving environment are for every pup. While we don’t feel experienced enough to do any official training, we provide a safe, playful, and affectionate home where dogs are treated like family. Our three dogs love making new friends, and our 9-year-old is a certified ball-throwing expert who adores helping play with visiting pups! I’m also a stay-at-home mom to a 1-year-old who absolutely loves dogs, and I’m always closely supervising interactions to make sure everyone stays safe and comfortable. Our home is set up to accommodate different temperaments and needs, with three separate spaces — a finished downstairs area, living room, and kitchen/coffee nook — that can be used for dogs who prefer a quieter environment, slower introductions, or their own low-energy space. We know how important it is to trust the people caring for your dog, and we’ll treat your fur baby with the same love and attention we give our own. As a stay-at-home mom, I’m home throughout the day and have plenty of time, attention, and energy to devote to caring for your pups! My schedule is very flexible, so I’m available most days and times throughout the week aside from the occasional appointment or family activity. When my 9-year-old is out of school, he’s my biggest helper and loves spending time playing fetch and giving extra attention to our furry friends. My 1-year-old is also a huge fan of dogs and happily tags along on walks and outdoor time. Our days are full of play, cuddles, potty breaks, and lots of love, so your pup will always have company and care while they’re with us! Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are our top priorities. We have a fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor play and three friendly dogs who love making new friends and providing companionship during your pup’s stay. Because we know every dog has a different personality and comfort level, our home is set up with multiple secure, separate spaces to help everyone feel relaxed and safe. Our finished basement has its own outdoor access and can be completely gated off to provide a calm, private area for dogs who need quieter surroundings, slower introductions, or a break from other pups. We also have a separate gated kitchen/coffee nook area with outdoor access that offers a more social environment while still keeping dogs comfortably separated when needed. As a stay-at-home mom, I’m home throughout the day to closely supervise playtime, potty breaks, feeding schedules, walks, and rest time. Whether your dog is staying in our home, joining us for walks, or being cared for in your own home, we strive to create a loving, dependable, and low-stress experience for both you and your pet. We also offer drop-in visits and dog walks for local families, and we’re happy to come to your home to feed, let your dog out, provide walks, playtime, cuddles, medication if needed, and lots of attention while you’re away. We know how important trust is when someone is caring for your pet and entering your home, and we’ll always treat both with the same care and respect we would want for our own family.
“On the days when I have lots of errands to run it’s nice to give our pup an afternoon with other dogs. Mike and Debbie were great with her and I’m looking forward to doing it again!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I was 5 when I fully trained my Cocker Spaniel dog. I potty trained her and taught her to climb stairs when she was only a puppy. After that I learned tricks and educated myself how to feed them correctly. My family and friends trust me their fur babies to bath them and walk them when they don’t have the time. I also clip the nails and play the groomer with small and medium dogs. I enjoy playing with them but I also practice discipline with dogs. I am a freelancer working from home which means I always going to have time to play with your pups! For boarding I am available all week whenever you need. If my availability ever changes you will be notified. I live in an apartment with a green area where dogs can play. I will be moving to base housing soon so they will count with a big yard to run and play. I have a whiny dog to keep your dog company. They are free to spend time on furniture and beds.
About: Hi, I’m Bri! I’ve loved animals my whole life and caring for them truly comes naturally to me.

“Taylor is the best!! Has taken care of our pup multiple times and always goes above and beyond. Great with communication. Always leaves pics and an update, she’s so good”
About: What sets me apart is my attentiveness and calm, patient approach with animals of all ages. I’m experienced with puppies who need structure, consistency, and positive reinforcement, as well as senior pets who require extra care, gentleness, and routine support. I’m comfortable administering medications, monitoring behavior changes, and maintaining a clean, safe environment. I treat every pet as if they were my own and prioritize both their physical comfort and emotional well-being. Due to my abundance of free time at this stage of my life, I have all the time and resources to devote to my passions which include animals. I meticulously follow directions left by pet parents in order to account for not only the pet in my care’s health and well-being, but also their feelings and happiness. I show them the amount of care I would expect my beloved two cats would receive, but we all care for our pets in different ways. Sometimes they have out of the ordinary requests that I am delighted to oblige.
About: Hi! My name is Katie and I have been around animals my entire life. Growing up, we always had cats in the house and when I was 12, I got my first dog. When I was little, I ran a small pet sitting service in my neighborhood and had so much fun taking care of dogs and cats of all sizes. I recently moved to Wichita to attend Wichita State University but I try to visit my furbabies at home as much as possible. My roommate, Jimme, and I love animals and spend as much time with them as we can, whether it's visiting pets we know, spending an afternoon in pet shops, or volunteering for various animal organizations. We are both active people and love going on long walks through our neighborhood. I am a very responsible, attentive sitter and treat every animal in my care as if they were my own. One of my favorite things to do when caring for a pet is to take lots of pictures! You can be sure that I will keep you updated on all the activities we do so you never have to worry about your pet while you are away. You can expect your dog to be spoiled with treats, cuddles, and lots of playtime while visiting! I look forward to meeting you and your pet! I often work remotely here in Wichita, so I am available to care for your pet all day! I am extremely flexible and can usually modify repeat bookings as requested. One of the first things I like to do with the pets in my care is gain their trust by feeding and playing with them. Then, we go on walks around the neighborhood to get some exercise and explore. Dogs are usually ready for a treat and a nap when we get back home so I let them relax before we do it all again!
About: Animals are a valuable part of a community. I have always had a strong desire to assist in their happiness on this earth! Since I was a child, I have always had animals. It is apart of my nature to love and care for them. I also work at a Veterinary Hospital where I engage with various pets every day. This allows me to have a unique set of skills and knowledge that gives your pet the care that they deserve! I work at a Veterinary Hospital M-F from 7:30am-6pm. Depending on your location, I am happy to assist your pet in the mornings or evenings as needed. There is also an opportunity to assist during the lunch hours, in certain cases. Over the weekends, I am flexible and always open to negotiating times that work well for you and your pet(s). My location is in the midst of the beautiful and safe College Hill neighborhood. I am happy to assist your pet in my area or travel to yours depending on their comfort.

About: I come from a dog & cat-loving family. I love being and playing with dogs & cats. When my friends and family go out of town they trust me with their fur babies. I will stop by, play, walk with them, and care for their general needs. I have also had dogs & cats all my life. So I know exactly how to take care of them.I also have a 12-year-old son who loves animals. He would love to be able to play with them just as much as I would. I know how important your fur babies are. I can promise to take care of them and treat them like my own. With me, you can rest easy knowing they're in great hand! I work M-F full time. Dogs staying in my house would need to be used to and able to be home alone up to 4 hours at a time.I will come home at lunch and let them out. I also have puppy pads I can lay down if they need them. I have a fenced-in yard and a big enough bedroom that I can crate or separate your pets if needed. I do have 2 cats but they will want nothing to do with your baby and stay out of your pet's way.
About: I’ve been a dog owner since I was born. Since 2019 I’ve taken care of dogs of all kinds- big, small, puppy, senior and special needs. I’ve volunteered for the Humane Society and fostered through WAAL. My family has had 3 foster fails! I am a natural caretaker when it comes to animals and guarantee I will treat your pet as my own. I am a cautious pet owner who does well at reading the signals of an animals and anticipating their behavior and needs. I do not work in the summers, so I can care for pets full time. From May to August, I’m free all day every day, most days. From August to May, I work 8-4 on weekdays. I live in an apartment so sadly I cannot offer boarding at this time. My partner is available to watch our dogs while I watch yours at your home.
“Kendra does a great job communicating with you about the her services and options. It is clear how much she loves animals and her kindness is immediatly apparent. Would highly recommend her as a someone to care for your pet.”
About: I have cared for both small and large breed dogs. 1 dog in my care required medication 2 a day. I have not met a dog that didn’t like me. I am retired from the main stream work force and have plenty of time to devote to your fur babies. My schedule is flexible for day visits or extended periods. I am able to stay with your fur babies in your home. I believe this keeps the animal safe and secure without the additional stress of their parents leaving them.
“Holly came to our home and did a drop in/walk hour visit. Communication with her was great as we had very specific instructions for our puppy! She sent photos and overall did an amazing job”
About: Since 2018, I’ve been the go-to Rover sitter for pet parents who want peace of mind and pups who want nonstop love and attention. 🐶 I don’t just ‘watch’ dogs. I keep them safe, happy, and cared for as if they were my own.” I trust dogs more than I trust most humans, which makes this more than just a side gig for me. Caring for your pups is something I genuinely enjoy. Why choose me? • 🛡️ Safety first: Your dog’s wellbeing is always my #1 priority (and mine too, because let’s be honest, no one wants a Rottweiler deciding I look like a chew toy). • 🏃♀️ Active & alert: I’m quick on my feet, tuned in, and ready to spring into action if a situation gets “ruff.” • 🧠 Dog smarts + intuition: I have a natural ability to read dogs’ body language and moods, whether I’m meeting a nervous Chihuahua or a 120 pound gentle giant. • 📸 Peace of mind updates: Expect photos, videos, and proof of tail wags so you feel like you never left. Over the years, every dog I’ve cared for has left a paw print on my heart (and sometimes a little slobber on my shirt). Big or small, shy or spunky … I’ve worked with them all, and I strive to make every pup feel safe, loved, and entertained while you’re away. If you want a sitter who will love your dog like family, treat safety like sacred ground, and sprinkle in a little humor along the way, I’m your person. 🐾 Taking care of dogs isn’t a side gig for me . Definitely a lifestyle. I already have my own little wolfpack, so loving, protecting, and spoiling pups is second nature. When your K9 is with me, they’re not just “watched”… they’re family. Think of it as a WIN/WIN: your dog gets unconditional love and adventure, and you get peace of mind knowing they’re safe, happy, and thriving. I can’t wait to meet your best friend (and claim them as my new sidekick).
“After Chris’s last visit he informed us he’s leaving Chicago. Gigi is going to miss him very much. Whichever city is getting him is about to have some lucky fur babes. 15/10 recommend Chris.”

“Kylie is AWESOME!!! She sent great updates and pictures of my dog everyday. Super communication and accommodating for my crazy schedule. It looked like my dog had more fun with Kylie’s pack than she does at home. Definitely will book again.”
“Amy was amazing! I truly felt she cared about my Doggies well being. She made sure she was prepared for him, her communication and flexibility was amazing! She made my anxiety about leaving him go away! Thank you!!!!”
“Sasha was amazing! I needed a sitter due to a medical emergency, there were so many things at play to where I was out of town when our dog was ready to be picked up. My dad who was just recovering from surgery was not as fast he usually was post surgery. We had to coordinate and navigate a lot considering this was also our first time using Rover. Sasha was patient in navigating the frustrations with pick up. She was very hands on with our dog and communicated with us as we navigated his needs and this app for the first time. I highly recommend her to anyone needing a pet sitter. Thanks for your help Sasha and helping our family during this time and not having to travel 20 hours with our German shepherd. I cannot even imagine what that would have been like. We appreciate you!”
“Eric and Halie were amazing pet sitters for my dog, Obi! Obi can be a bit anxious, but they were amazing at setting both him, and his mom, at ease! They kept me updated on how he was doing with pictures and messages every couple of days. They were also very good about this nervous mom and her first boarding experience. Very friendly. Wonderful sitters. 10/10”
“When my dog is at Aurora‘s home, I don’t worry about the care that she’s going to receive. It’s always excellent and they generally seem to really like my dog. I recommend her highly. She does a great job.”
“Lilly was fantastic with our dog, Bear! She accepted our last minutes request for boarding and was easy to coordinate with. She was very responsive and provided pictures and updates daily. We will definitely ask her to watch our dog again next time we leave town and highly recommend her to others!”
“Kylee was amazing!! We have 2 high energy dogs and she handled them beautifully, lots of attention and activity. She was communicative and very easy to work with. Definitely recommend!!”
“I cannot say this from the rooftops loud enough, but Kate was amazing! From the moment she got our dog Abbey, I received photos and updates throughout our trip. She was able to spot check a few things at our house when she picked up our dog and even checked on the cat without us asking. We could tell Kate cared a lot about our dog and was very considerate with the time to pick up our dog. We are grateful that our dog loved her and her pets so much, she slept like a rock after their visit! This makes our next stay out of town a breeze, because we know who we are going back to!”
“My husband and I were very impressed with Debbie and her husband. We needed someone to watch her while we went to the state fair. It was late notice but she immediately responded that it would be no problem watching her. Debbie even sent us pics of Zoey saying our dog was doing well. We could tell by how quickly Zoey fell asleep that night that she had a busy fun day.”
“Thank you for taking care of our 2 girls, Ron! They had never stayed away from home and didn’t have much socializing beforehand. Ron was patient and understanding. He sent pictures and updates to let us know they were behaving and having a good time. When we picked them up, I don’t think they wanted to leave!”
“Misty was great with Judy. Helped me out with a last minute booking. Good communication and pictures during the stay. Will definitely be using again when I need a sitter.”
“Karlee was very affectionate and caring towards Copper. She treaded him just as she does her own dogs. She even took him out for a Sunday evening pup cup. We received plenty of updates and photos during the stay. We plan to use Karlee again when in the area.”
“I am so glad that I found Paige. She did an awesome job with Charlie! Charlie gets a little worked up when he is boarded so he almost always has diarrhea when he comes home. This time he did not have any stomach issues when he returned home! That’s a plus for us. Paige is flexible and her communication is on point. She sent us pictures, videos, and kept us updated on how Charlie was doing. Charlie looked so happy! I would definitely use Paige again!”
“Brittney did a great job communicating and had all of our dog’s stuff nicely packed for pickup. She’s got a huge fenced in yard that would be great to run around in. She was really sweet and our dog seemed to really like her. Would definitely book with Brittney again!”
“Sara was a wonderful host. We needed last minute help and Sara came through. She took good care of Gatsby, provided regular updates, pics. Gatsby has a great time at her place. We will use Sara again”
