“Kylie is simply amazing. You can tell that she truly cares for the pets in her care by their reactions because they are calm and so happy. When my babygirl is with her, I have no worries because I know shes safe and loved. I’m sure Cleo will miss being around her and her family. I know I will🥰”

“Keitel and his family were amazing. I honestly don’t think my dog wanted to come back! Keitel was attentive to Bugsy’s needs and made him comfortable during his stay. I will definitely be using him again.”
“Sasha was great with my mini Goldendoodle, Archie! She provided constant updates and photos, which really gave me peace of mind while I was away. Archie looked happy and well taken care of the entire time. She was also very flexible when I needed to change the dates, which I really appreciated. I would definitely trust Sasha to watch Archie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”

About: What sets me apart is that I genuinely treat every pet like they're my own. I understand that leaving your pet with someone else can be stressful, so I focus on making sure both you and your pet feel comfortable and cared for. I'm patient, reliable, and attentive to each pet's unique personality and needs. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies who need extra supervision and consistency to senior dogs who require a gentler pace and additional attention. I'm comfortable following detailed care instructions, administering oral medications if needed, maintaining routines, and providing plenty of exercise, playtime, and affection. I also keep owners updated with regular photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, happy, and loved until you're back home Pet care fits easily into my routine because I have a flexible schedule and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I make sure every pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and care while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. 🐾❤️ I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment for every pet in my care. I follow each pet's routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and medication if needed. Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or a client's home, I make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, affection, and updates so owners can feel confident their pets are happy and well cared for.

“As a first time dog owner with a long vacation planned, I was so anxious about trusting someone with my extremely energetic dog. SO glad I went with Madi. I received many photos and updates.

About: I am the girl who sees a dog out in public and will always give it a belly rub! I have had dogs and cats since I was born but fully took on the responsibility of dog/cat watching, feeding, walking, and over all care for about 6 years now. I have 2 families I have consistently dog watched for 2 years now but am happy to meet more furry friends. My own personal fuzzy companions consist of 4 dogs and 5 cats! I am currently a full time student at Wichita State University. I am in Student Ambassador Society and in then sorority Alpha Phi. I am only in school 4 out of the 7 days, as well as long breaks between classes and a flexible schedule! I am well experienced with reactive dogs, dog kennels and crates, and friends who pull what feels like double my body weight on long walks. I am comfortable with over night care and well as assisting with appointments!
About: Cats often stay away from me because I want them to love me! But I can take the time to earn their trust. I have honed the art of pilling cats through years of administering meds to my own cat before every vet appointment. I love playing with a cat and their toy just as much as I enjoy sitting quietly in their orbit. For cats, I would like to know how to best approach them. I want to know exactly how to respect your cat's boundaries and make them feel safe. I have been pet sitting for family and friends since 2008, and have been caring for my own cats and family cats for 15+ years. I have also been a regular volunteer for the Kansas Humane Society for over 18 months.
About: Hi! I’m Rori, and I love animals of all kinds, especially cats and dogs. I have had so many pets of my own and lots of hands-on experience caring for animals with different needs and energy levels. I know how important it is to treat every animal with patience and care. Whether it’s walks, feeding, play, or just keeping your pet company, I’ll make sure they feel safe and happy while you’re away. I’m available after school on weekdays, most evenings, and on weekends. I may also be available for early morning visits before school when needed. Feel free to message me. I’m happy to work with your schedule whenever possible! During drop-in visits and walks, I focus on keeping your pet safe, comfortable, and stress-free. I carefully follow instructions for feeding, litter box or potty breaks, medication (if needed), and routines. I always secure doors, gates, and leashes, and make sure pets are safely settled before I leave.
“Veronica was amazing with my cat! He needed some help finished up his antibiotics while I was away and she cared for him so well. She made sure she knew everything he needed while I was away! His scab is healing up so well and he looks like he is back to his normal self thanks to her! Would definitely recommend!”
“Sydney was amazing! She connected with both of my kitties, and one is typically very shy! She was meticulous with detail and very dependable. I highly recommend if you love your fur babies like I do!”
“Anna did an amazing job taking care of my dogs! She was reliable, attentive, and kept me updated throughout the visit, which gave me peace of mind. My dogs were happy and well-cared for when I returned, and it’s clear she truly loves animals. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”
“Chris is amazing!!! He has watched my 2 cats several times now, including most recently during a 10 day vacation. While one of my cats is easy-going, the other is not so friendly to anyone except me - Chris is extremely patient with her and treats her better than any past pet sitter I have had, respecting her boundaries but always still making sure she feels comfortable knowing there is a human there to be with her while I am away. He spends a lot of time with them, and his updates are so helpful and keep my mind at ease knowing that not only are my cats being fed and litter box scooped and such, but they are truly being cared for as if they were his own with a great amount of love and attention. With past pet sitters, I have been so anxious when out of town wondering how they were being treated and if they were okay, but with Chris my mind is completely at ease as I completely trust him to take the best care of them as possible. Every time I return home, I return to a tidy apartment with happy cats. I hope Chris remains pet sitting forever because I never want to use another pet sitter! Thank you Chris!!!”

“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. .”

Keitel check all the blocks and exceed our expectations. Keitel is not only great with dogs but also very knowledgeable with them. Keitel afford my wife and I the opportunity to meet him in advance for us to ensure that the environment was suitable for our Goldendoodle. Throughout the stay, Keitel and his family treated Meelo as if he was his own. We received regular updates and pictures of Meelo and his new favorite family.

About: I'm a stay at home mom with plenty of time on my hands, and I like to keep busy. I love to get out of the house and take long walks. I have a nice big fenced yard and a spacious house. I love dog kisses and cuddles. I'm also a cat person and I know it's hard to find lodging for them when you go out of town. All pets deserve exercise and attention and I understand you have to work so let me take on some of the responsibilities. I'm excited to spend time with lovable animals, play fetch, brush coats and give lots of pets. I wake up early with my son before I see him off to school, so pets get breakfast around 8am. I make sure to give attention to all my animals as well as playtime as needed. Frequent potty breaks are provided and usually include short games of fetch or chase. Around 3pm when my son gets home from school we like to take a walk around the neighborhood for a little enrichment. In the evening pets are fed again around 6pm. I usually give a good brush to everyone and make sure to give thorough pets and a few treats before bedtime. I have a fenced yard without any holes to escape. I have a playful puppy to keep your fur babies company. When new animals I arrive I have a spare room set up as a safe place for them. We make sure to introduce them slowly and safely so everyone is comfortable. My puppy sleeps in her crate most nights, your dogs have the option to sleep with me or in a crate depending on your preference. My cats have a sunroom to escape to if our company is too overwhelming. Meaning everyone can have their own space without feeling threatened. I take the comfort and safety of my guests extremely seriously and do my best to ensure they are as happy as possible during their stay.

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: I’m an experienced pet sitter and dog lover with a calm home environment, perfect for pups who are friendly, well-mannered, and crate-trained. I also have a resident dog and cat, so I prefer guests who are respectful of other dogs’ space and social cues. I enjoy going for walks and providing enrichment, but I’m best suited for dogs who are leash-trained and not overly high energy. Please feel free to message me first so we can see if it’s a good fit! I work full time as a middle school teacher, so I have a very caring heart. I’m available after 3pm most days and anytime on the weekends and during summer (May 25th-August1st). I love walking my dogs and would love to walk yours too. I can work on leash training with your dog, as well as the basics. I can drop in and visit your dog or cat, walk them, feed them, and keep them company for a little while. I make sure that animals are never left unsupervised. If I’m not home, animals will be kept separate. Anything you need when it comes to walks and visits, I’m your gal!

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.
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life. I grew up with an orange tabby cat who taught me the basics of daily pet care from a young age. In high school, my family adopted a snorkie, and I’ve helped care for him for the past 12 years—everything from daily walks and playtime to grooming and giving medications. I’ve also had my own cat for the past seven years, and through his renal issues I’ve become very familiar with the early signs of urinary blockages, bladder stones, and the importance of special diet management. Because of this, I’m extremely attentive to subtle behavior changes and comfortable supporting pets with chronic or sensitive medical needs. I treat every pet like family, and I’m committed to providing safe, reliable, and compassionate care. I am a medical student who spends several hours a day studying, making my schedule perfect for house sitting and using study breaks to take dogs on walks. I have class every week day from 8-12 so I can do anytime after that. Unfortunately, I am unable to do Thursdays due to long lecture and lab times. When your pet is with me, they’re treated like my own. I’m really big on keeping things safe, calm, and consistent so your pet can settle in and feel comfortable. I pay close attention to routines, behavior, and any little changes—especially since I’m used to managing my own cat’s medical needs. I’m super reliable and I always follow instructions exactly how you give them. You’ll get plenty of updates and photos so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. Whether it’s sticking to a schedule, handling special diets, or just giving them extra love and attention, I make sure your pet is safe, happy, and well-cared for the entire time.
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.
About: I’ve always grown up in a household with all different kinds of pets. Since I was a young girl i’ve always had a special care for animals.

I provide a calm, safe, and loving environment for pets while respecting your routine and instructions. I’m attentive to behavior and always prioritize your pet’s safety, trust, and well-being while you’re away.

“Kylie is simply amazing. You can tell that she truly cares for the pets in her care by their reactions because they are calm and so happy. When my babygirl is with her, I have no worries because I know shes safe and loved. I’m sure Cleo will miss being around her and her family. I know I will🥰”
“Eric did a wonderful job with our dog. Cider was healthy and happy when we picked her up. Eric was responsive to messages and sent us daily pictures and updates. We will use Eric again!”
“Sasha was great with my mini Goldendoodle, Archie! She provided constant updates and photos, which really gave me peace of mind while I was away. Archie looked happy and well taken care of the entire time. She was also very flexible when I needed to change the dates, which I really appreciated. I would definitely trust Sasha to watch Archie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”

“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.”
“I couldn’t have found a better sitter than Lilly for my 2 pups! She loved on them like they were her own. The pictures she sent were so sweet, that I could tell they had a wonderful time! I will certainly use her services in the future and I’m sure Eli and Lily can’t wait to visit again!”
“Our dog only stayed a night but Ron was very accommodating to meeting us beforehand to introduce ourselves and our dog. He was also very flexible with drop-off/pick-up times and provided a lot of feedback throughout our dog’s stay. We’ll definitely be looking at using him again.”
“Very nice guy. Our dog, Cooper just went right on in to his house without any hesitation or barking. That is unusual. Especially when I leave, he goes crazy. So, as we all know, dogs know more about a person than we do!”
“As a first time dog owner with a long vacation planned, I was so anxious about trusting someone with my extremely energetic dog. SO glad I went with Madi. I received many photos and updates. Madi was thoughtful and created a Christmas card from Theo to me. When I got back home to Theo, I even noticed his behavior had improved. I will book with her again. Thank you, Madi!”
“Kate is awesome! Can tell from her dogs’ behavior that she really loves e-mails. Also think she may have a future as an animal photographer cause she took the best shots of my dog!”
“Misty was my first experience with Rover, and I am so pleased we found her! She was even more accommodating to our situation than was expected, and I so appreciated it! I would highly recommend Misty and will use her again should we need to. Her response time was quick and her communication was just great! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!!!”
“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!!”
“Left my 2 golden retrievers with Debbie for 2 days/1 night, and they seemed to have the time of their life! Debbie was so flexible and responsive, and sent a photo of them during their stay. Will absolutely be booking again for future boarding needs!”

“I really want to appreciate you for sticking by my cats side during their after surgery healing. I feel awful for bee biting. But you stuck by her side afterwards. You communicated so well and the pictures helped giving me some relief.”
“Dennis has done an excellent job caring for our dog and we are so greatful we have found such a kind and dependable sitter. Kuna was immediately at ease when we went for our initial visit. His backyard was clearly made specifically for dogs to enjoy! His own dogs were immediately also at ease with Kuna. Communication was also great with Dennis. He immediately replies to any inquiries and reaches out if he has any questions. Thank you, Dennis!”
