Finally, Ingrid left hour house and yard both clean and tidy and everything looked great! I wold highly recommend Ingrid to everyone that understand pets are family and need to be cared for in the same way. Five stars for Ingrid!”

“My family and I are very glad that we found Keitel to care for Goldendoodle (Meelo). As dog lovers, we always wants to ensure that our fur buddy is taken care off in our absence. 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. Meelo was pampered and well taken care of and our mind was at ease. We can’t wait to rebook you again. I highly recommend Keitel to anyone looking for a doggie day care.”

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.
“Let me just start by saying, Beckham LOVED his visit with Ms. Tanya!!!!! Whenever I arrived to pick him up, it almost looked like he wanted to stay……. 👀 Thank you for being so accommodating!! I appreciated being sent communication/ pictures midday. 10/10 would recommend and look forward to booking in the future.”

“Cheryl was wonderful with Dixie and Luna. She had plenty of fenced yard for them and even welcomed them into her house and bed to watch tv🤣. She also sent plenty of pictures which always helps when you’re away from your babies. I would not hesitate to take them to her again.”

About: I have been a vet tech for 10 years. It is my passion. I had a disabled boxer so I am familiar with need to help disabled pets. I currently share custody of an energetic border collie. My 14 year old daughter loves to assist me when caring for your pet, please let me know if that is okay. I do work full time. If the pet is staying at your house, time permitting, I will check on them before work, lunch, and spend time after work with them. I will treat every pet as if they are mine. I normally feed twice a day and go outside as often as possible; weather permitting of course. If anything seems off, I have experience and a clinic I can take them too if needed.
About: I currently work as a zookeeper and have years of wild and domestic animal experience. Working with wild animals means I have a much deeper understanding of animal husbandry, psychology, and behavior that allows me to provide better care for your pet! I'm especially comfortable around and handling large dogs due to the nature of my job. Professionally, I have cared for a variety of wild animals including large cats like lions, tigers, and leopards, dolphins, seals and sea lions, and several canid species. That being said, I'm able to provide a deeper level of personalized care. I currently work 5 days a week, usually Wednesday-Sunday. On my weekend, I'm home all day. On my workdays, I'm able to leave during lunch to provide dogs with potty breaks. There is a dog park within walking distance of my apartment that I bring my dogs to every morning and evening. I do also have a dog potty set up inside my apartment just in case a dog can't wait for me to get home. I provide this because I personally wouldn't make myself hold it, so I would never force a dog to do the same. I provide a very safe, relaxing environment where your dog will be treated like family. I approach care with a proactive approach, rather than reactive. This means I always keep a close eye on individual pet behavior as subtle cues can indicate how a pet is feeling at a given moment. Many pet owners miss out on these cues, especially if they aren't trained to look for them. Overall, this means I try my best to create a safe environment for and trusting bond with any animal I work with via positive reinforcement and never push past an individual's limits.
About: I’ve worked at a doggy daycare and volunteered at the humane society- I have also had dogs and cats for 17 years of my life! Currently, I have purposely left my schedule completely open for pet care during the week. I am available day or night, 7 days a week. I have a fenced in yard and a friendly dog in my home. I am very good at reading dog body language and knowing their limits while caring for them.

About: I grew up in a pet loving family, we always had at least 5 fur babies! I loved having the responsibility of caring for them by myself. I would sometimes bring them over to my neighbors for play dates, I could teach them tricks and play with them all day. I am always home or going for walks, and having a pet by my side always makes my day better. From running around outside to laying on the couch watching a movie having a pet with me always makes it so much more fun! No pet is the same, I adapt to what the pet wants. If it’s an energetic puppy i’ll be energetic if, it’s a relaxed elderly pet i’ll relax with it, they all get the care and environment they will need.

“Kylie is friendly, punctual, and able to accomodate a three/day visit while my husband and I were out of town. I would definitely use Kylie's services again! Thanks, Kylie!”


About: I grew up on a small town farm and was raised around horses, dogs, cats, chickens, etc. until I graduated high school. I was responsible for caring for the farm animals, so I have lots of experience with different animals and pets, including cats and dogs (of all sizes and ages). I recently graduated with a master degree in biomedical science and am looking for some extra work while I figure out what I’d like to do. I currently have four pets that I absolutely adore— a Labradoodle, German Shepherd, dachshund, and a fat, orange cat! Suffice it to say they are spoiled beyond belief. As a recent graduate, I am taking time off from school and full-time work, so my schedule is open and flexible (especially afternoons). Mornings are my busiest, so if you book with me, morning scheduling may need to be adjusted a bit. While I am newer to Rover, I have tons of pet care experience and believe each pet (even the troublemaker) deserves top-tier care and companionship while their humans aren’t home. Aside from watching others’ animals, I own a few myself. I take the dogs on daily walks, feed them twice daily, and clean the cat litter box daily. Overall, I have experience walking/handling small and large—sometimes rowdy—dogs, administering oral medication, cleaning out litter boxes, playing with pets, and daily feeds. Depending on the job and the dog/cat I am responsible for, I am willing to care for your animal in a way that best fits their needs as you see fit.
About: I have a huge heart for pets & animals in general - I have been drawn to them since I can remember! Growing up I used to assist our local vet with surgery prep and wound care. I realized I was meant more for the "loving" of animals rather than the "medical care" when vaccinations or other scary things happened - all I could do was comfort the pet! I have cared for almost every kind of pet there is, and I enjoy giving Moms & Dads the peace of mind I know that I need when I am busy or out of town. I work in West Wichita (my office IS pet friendly if your pup has the right temperament) and my hours are Mon-Thurs from 8am-5pm, and Fridays 8am-3pm. This limits my ability for mid-day stop ins during the week, but I am fully available in the mornings, evenings, and all weekend hours. All pet care routines are different! Since the level of care required can vary greatly from family to family, I offer a few different "versions" of each service, and modify my rates according to time/effort committed. Please reach out if you have a hybrid (drop-in/house-sit/boarding) request - if we are a good match I am confident we can find the right arrangement for your pets needs. I recognize that your fluff-butts are part of your family, and pride myself on the ability to make them feel loved and comfortable while in my care. Photos & videos are consistently sent along with scheduled updates - you will NEVER have to wonder if your pet is happy with me! If booking a longer stay, I prefer to iron out all details of your request with an hourly schedule so there is no room for confusion or misunderstanding. It is my first priority to make sure pet parents know that their baby is in the best hands so they can enjoy their time apart.
About: I have taken care of neighborhood dogs growing up and assist in caring with my family dog. I have 2 indoor cats right now who I adore. I am a student with a very flexible daily and weekly routine. I am able to work around schedules to fit time to care for pets. I have 2 cats at home and they are so spoiled! For your pet I will ensure that I follow all directions you may have for me as well as make sure your pet feels as loved as if they were my own.
“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: I’ve been taking care of animals for over 10 years now! I’ve taken care of both Dogs and cats of all sizes! I’ve been dog sitting for years and I have been working at Sydney’s pet resort as a supervisor for 4 years now! I have experience giving all animals medication and will help animals with any medical issues they may have! I have experience working with puppies and senior dogs, as well as kittens and senior cats! I currently work Tuesday through Saturdays but I will work around my schedule to make sure I find time to care for your pets! I am typically free all day on Sundays and Mondays! I am currently not watching any animals in my own home but I am able to watch them in the comfort of their own home!
“First time Rover user, Zhou went above and beyond my expectations. Prompt and professional. Handled all 3 of my large dogs with ease. Will definitely use Zhou in the future. 5 star rating!”

“Ari is great! She was kind, communicative, punctual, and took excellent care of my pups. She is obviously a natural with dogs. We even had a broken collar situation while I was at work and she found the harnesses and made the walk happen. I highly suggest hiring her to care for your animals. Thank you, Ari!”

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.

“Based on her expertise, Lilly took great care of my cat, Meeruya. I was surprised that Rudy and Lilly got close to my sensitive cat in a short time. Special thanks to Lilly, who understood and cared about my baby’s poop mistakes. She shared the home camera so I could see my pet while I was out of the U.S., and I had no problem communicating with her. She had a strong responsibility and love for Meeruya. I recommend her if you are looking for a reliable pet sitter.”


“Debbie was wonderful to work with! She allowed my boys a preview visit to see how they would all get along being away from me in a strange environment. She sent me pictures daily and answered all my daily inquiries quickly! One of my boys has separation anxiety and he was very well taken care of! I think they enjoyed some socializing with other dogs as a bonus! Nice to know I have a trusted option less than a mile from home, I will definitely be using her again!!”

“Samantha was great watching my cats last minute. She ensured they had a cooldown space and company when they were ready. On top of all that, she’s just super cool person.”

“Bug is shy and takes some time warming up to people but he warmed up to Zhou so much quicker than expected. Zhou is willing to work with my early morning drop offs which have been such a huge help. Highly recommend!”

“This is my first time using Roverand and after meeting Dennis and his Wife I knew my adventure buddy was in great hands. I was able to enjoy visit with family and see I wasn't the only one on vacation 😂. Boarding is no longer a stresser, thank you Dennis and bee will be seeing you soon!”

“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!!”

“Spud and Squeaks did great with Tanya! They were able to play in the backyard for a good period of time and quickly warmed up to Tanya and her family. I will definitely be using her again!”

“Sam was so great with our big dog. She sent lots of pictures and it felt like she treated him just like her own dog. Great communication & friendly. Would recommend and will request again for sure.”


About: I’ve taken care of my family and friends fur babies for a while, i’ve also baby sat kids as well as house sit and took care of animals while doing so! My goal is to make sure your fur-babies are happy, healthy and well taken care of while you’re at work or out of town! whatever the case may be I just want to make sure they’re loved! Due to not being able to have kids my pets are like kids to me and I treat everyone’s ’kids’ the same way i do mine, with lots of love!! I’ve done a lot of rescue work in the past with animals aswell as fostered several dogs! I also run my own business making dog and cat bandanas were i donate 10% of all profits to a pet rescue organization 🤎 I’m currently a stay at home dog mom, making taking care of everyone else’s pets extremely easy and very doable! I’m extremely flexible with my time and want to make sure your pets are well taken care of! I care for pets in my home or outside of my home the same way i do mine! Lots of love is given if they allow it, frequent updates will be given even if not asked. I want to make sure everyone can see how their fur-babies are doing and receive as many updates as possible as if it were me this is what i would want! I also do pet photography on the side and will get atleast 1-2 professional photos from my camera to give you during the stay - this is on top of the many photos i’ll send from my phone!
“My dog was very well taken care of at Eric's. I received pictures throughout my trip which was very reassuring. Eric is pleasant, helpful and easy to work with. He was a very good sitter for my precious dog! I'll use him again.”

“This was the 2nd time that our dogs stayed with Meghan. They happily went right to her and her children. She sent pictures to us of our dogs enjoying their time on their "Pet Vacation". As always, Meghan and her family took excellent care of our beloved fur-babies!”

“Hannah and Dylan are truly amazing!! They were so thoughtful and responsive! We received lots of updates and pictures of our dog! I will definitely be using them again!”


“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.”
