“Steve is great. Really good guy who obviously cares about his and other people’s pets. He’s very accommodating and flexible. My dogs enjoy being there. Steve has become my go-to pet sitter in Lawrence.”
“Kathi was a pro at dealing with our little Charlie. I could tell that he bonded with her based on his body language. Thank you Kathi, for taking the worry out of this doggie mama.”
“My puppy, Fancy, was very well taken care of. I’m so happy to have found Courtney, and Rover. I will never board again. Fancy was with a family, getting 24/7 care and love. I was given updates and funny stories about my wild girl. Such a great experience!!!!”
“Brandin and Diana were really easy to work with and flexible when our schedule changed a bit. Our pup, Phoebe, seemed happy when we picked her up and you could tell she even bonded with their daughter! We’ll be using them again for boarding!”
“Natalia is so nice and accommodating! She has a huge heart, and I trust her with my sweet babies! She was willing to walk me every step of the way, and have the patience to talk to me anytime I needed to express care and concern. I’ll definitely be using the service again!”
“This is our second boarding with Lauren for our German Shepherd puppy and this day was wonderful for our dog and us. Lauren is great with communication and updates and our puppy loves spending time with her and her dogs. Highly recommend Lauren! She’s made being a new pet owner so much easier knowing we can entrust our puppy to someone loves him like her own!”
“Carissa took great care of my Nala. Nala hurt her leg a few days before we were going out of town and Carissa was very willing to give her the extra attention she needed! She will definitely be hangout out with Carissa again!!”
“Outstanding! From the moment I arrived, it was clear that Cheryl is a dog person's dog person. My beast boldly explored her home to her laughter and then he settled in to hold her hand on the couch. Cheryl's provision of photos while I was away proved a great comfort to me and her conveyance of concern for my animal's paws in the icy snow demonstrated the level of care she affords her charges. I highly recommend Cheryl and will happily book her again in the future. Cheryl is accommodating and caring to the highest degree. My big yellow beast wants me to say hello for him.”
“Daisy stayed with Kelsey and family for 12 days. She bonded with their dogs and cats and Kelsey shared several photos of them together. Daisy is 13 and has arthritis and anxiety and takes several medications. She requires extra attention and the family went above expectations to care for her needs. I hope she can stay with them again.”
“Truly an awesome experience! I can’t thank Megan and super sweet family enough for welcoming my high anxiety girl into their home and loving on her as if she was their own. I could tell by the updates and pictures that Megan sent daily that Rosie was happy and enjoying her stay, which gave me great peace of mind and allowed me to throughly enjoy my vacation. I have no doubt Rosie will miss playing with the kiddos and family pets, but not for long since we’re already planning another stay in just a few weeks!”
About: I grew up taking care of dogs and cats. My family always had either a dog or cats or both. I’ve always loved taking care of them and loving on them. I work from home on weekdays so I’m always around, and my husband is home at night and on weekends. Our home is dog friendly and revolves around our dog, Millie. There are dog toys in every room, treats in the cupboards, and all furniture is dog approved and appreciated. I’m self employed and I work from home, so I’m able to give your pets lots of attention and care. They will get plenty of potty breaks, time outside, and walks around the neighborhood and to the park. We have a fenced in yard that has plenty of room to run and play in and windows for people watching and neighborhood patrolling. We also have a friendly dog who loves to play and meet new people. Your pets will be watched closely and loved on thoroughly!
“Elizabeth gave great care to my two dogs. They were very happy there. It was such a good experience. So much better than putting them in a kennel. She walked them twice a day and gave them love and attention. I will definitely board my dogs here again.”
“Thanks Melanie for accomodating my fairly last-minute boarding need! Abby and I both felt immediately comfortable with her, her partner, and their home. Communication was prompt and thorough, and I loved all the pictures! I'd def recommend Melanie and rebook!”
“Tobey had a great time with Jennifer! We were able to do a last minute booking with her without any complications and she was eager to help. She also kept me updated and sent me photos while we were gone! Would definitely recommend and will plan to use her in the future!”
“We have trusted our doggie with Amelia and Matthew a few times now and we are so grateful for them! They take excellent care of him and keep us updated on how things are going. If you’re looking for sitters you can really trust, they’re the best!!”
“Luke is so great with Mickey and Coco! Luke is always keeping us updated and sending us photos of the dogs! We can see that Coco and Mickey enjoy their time at Luke’s house. Luke is a great dog sitter and we know he treats our dogs well and they are safe with him! We highly recommend Luke for anyone who wants their dogs to be safe and happy while they are away on a trip.”
“Regan was awesome! She worked around the holiday schedule and got our pup in for our trip. Very professional and gave us updates daily! Will be using her in the future as my go-to gal in the area:)”
“Petra was a phenomenal sitter for our dogs. She was very communicative and friendly when setting up boarding. She sent photos each day and her property was great for two herding dogs to run around off leash. Perhaps most importantly, our dogs took to her right away since she treated them like her own. Petra is a warm and caring person and I give her my highest recommendation!”

“Sarah did a fantastic job taking care of my difficult cats. I have one shy cat and one territorial cat and they did not phase her at all! I really appreciated knowing they had someone experienced looking out for them while I was out of town.”
“Terra was amazing! We found her on Rover somewhat last minute after some issues with our other sitter, and I am so glad we did! Terra was so flexible when we had to make some last minute changes to her care schedule due to our kitty, Nickel, coming down with a UTI the morning we were leaving for vacation. Terra proceeded to take such great care of Nickel. She kept us regularly updated about how Nickel was doing, and sent pictures, which were so comforting to see. Nickel was not so sure about taking his meds from a new person, but Terra did a great job working with him and trying different strategies to help him. All-in-all, Terra went above and beyond in so many ways, and we feel so fortunate that our little guy was in her care. We definitely highly recommend, Terra!”
About: I have taken care of pets since I was 13 and house sat since I was 15!! I was also a kennel tech for a year! This included giving medication, bathing, feeding, and just plain old watching the pets! I know CPR for our fury friends too! I have two dogs of my own as well as four cats so I am completely comfortable with a variety. I am a college student working on my masters online while working another job as well. My schedule is pretty straight forward for me so pet care will fit well as long as I keep my calendar balanced. I am comfortable house sitting for both dogs and cats. I am more than capable of crating or letting pets out to potty. I usually keep treats on me anytime I care for a furry friend. When I walk animals, I usually go for 30 minutes to an hour so that they get the excercise needed. I also have bags for when they do their business on a walk.
“Joel is fantastic! He’s very gentle and kind. This is the first time I’ve used Rover, and I was nervous to have a stranger in my home taking care of my girl. However, Joel put my mind at ease immediately and has been a lifesaver. Definitely plan to continue booking with him in the future.”
“Alejandra did an amazing job looking after our two kitties! It can be very difficult to find a sitter that you trust to look after your babies and she proved to be very trustworthy and attentive. We will book again! 💕”
“Michelle was very punctual and communicative during the stay. Kirara loved her and she sent photos each day. Definitely recommend for check ins or house sitting. Will most definitely book again!”
“Stephanie did an excellent job of taking care of my cat while I went on vacation. She sent updates and pictures to me while I was gone. She completely won over my cat. I highly recommend Stephanie and will definitely book her again for my next trip.”
About: I am married and have two daughters and a son. They are 12, 8, and 5. I have a wonderful German Shepherd, an Alaskan Klee Kai, and a 20 pound cat named Karen. We love caring for other animals. We have a big yard so there’s plenty of room to run.! I can come to your home or board in ours. We are very active individuals. Both my husband and I are runners. Just let me know if you have anymore questions and I would be more than willing to answer them! We are very flexible with our schedules. My husband works full-time, but I drive for Uber so I can make my own schedule when needed. We try to stay as active as possible and play with pets in the home. We have a German shepherd that loves the extra play time!
About: I have had cats my whole life, and if there is one thing I have learned is they require boundaries and respect. I am extremely empathetic and fully equipped to deal with any cat, regardless of demeanor. I am probably one of the biggest cat lovers you will find. I always love getting to know each animal by observing their likes, dislikes, hobbies, & habits. I have a calm presence that will provide your kitty with comfort, playtime, and emotional support while you are away. I am extremely communicative, and I love to keep clients updated on their fur babies!
About: My family has had dogs, cats and fish my whole life. I often watch them when my parents are out of town and I have dog and cat sat for family & friends for years. I have helped a friends family with their cattle and pigs, but am not as experienced with livestock outside chickens. I’m currently available 7 days/wk I work as a server in my pleasant so whoever I’m staying with ideally should be able to go 6-8hrs between potty breaks! If I have 2 weeks or more advanced notice I can make arrangements to be able to check in more frequently. o o o o o o o o o o I love interacting with the pets and getting to see them get more comfortable with me. I am very comunicative and willing to ask questions.
About: I’ve cared for animals my whole life— walking neighbors’ dogs, pet sitting (both cats and dogs), and looking after my own two dogs and two birds. As I got older, I began staying in clients’ homes for overnight and week-long dog sitting, which helped me gain experience with pets of all kind. I am experienced, reliable, and genuinely love animals. I always treat every animal with the same love and attention that I give my own. Plus, I love sending pictures to the family :) Pet care fits easily into my schedule because I am a college student that will be home for breaks and fully available. I have plenty of flexible time, and I’m always happy to adjust my routine to give pets the attention, care, and companionship they need. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always prioritize safety and trust. I keep doors securely closed until the pet is safely leashed or in the yard, depending on the home setup. I follow all family instructions and safety precautions. During walks, I choose the safest route and give my full attention to the pet’s comfort and well-being.
“Hi guys. I feel like you all did a great job. You took O' Malley for 10 days and let him do his thing and be comfortable in his own way. Thank you! The only thing I would have liked more of is communication. Both times I had to reach out to you for check ins. Good luck with your pet sitting!!!”
About: I work as a vet clinic and I’ve taken care of cats that are borders there and make sure their get the meds they need (if they need any) and the love they need to be comfortable. I am also a proud cat mom.
About: "If you can look at a dog and not feel vicarious excitement and affection, you must be a cat." ~Terri Guillemets Love dogs (and animals in general, but dogs especially.) I have been around them my whole life and wouldn't want it any other way. I come from a large, mostly rural dwelling family, my grandma had 11 kids 2/3 of which have at least 1 or more dog(s) including my mom. I've always had my own and/or lived with roommates/friends/family, that have/had dog(s) in every house I've lived from day 1 to the present. Although I can't say I've taken care of every breed out there (doubt that many people can) I have definitely seen my fair share of mutts and purebreds alike; from Corgis to Chihuahuas, Danes to Dobermans, Lhasa Apsos to Shar Peis, and even a couple of wolves (3/4 mixes) as well as a few rodents, cats, reptiles, arachnid and birds. Big or small I love "em all, but if you forced me to pick a favorite I'd have to go with the affectionate yet intimidating Perro de Presa Canario. In short, if either by choice or necessity you find yourself in need of a caretaker for your 4-legged (or more) companion(s), know that I would be elated for the opportunity and you can be assured that their health and well-being will invariably be at the forefront of my mind in all that I do while they're in my care. Thank you for taking the time to read this and I look forward to hearing from you soon. "Lots of people talk to animals.... Not very many listen, though.... That's the problem." ~Benjamin Hoff, The Tao of Pooh
“Olivia did an AMAZING job taking care of our dog. She was great at communicating with us and sending us daily updates with photos. You could tell Sasquatch was really loving staying with her! We definitely will be using Olivia in the future and we highly recommend her! Thanks, Olivia!”

“Steve is so very sweet. Juniper is a big puppy with lots of energy and emotions. Tbh, an exhausting toddler. He has so much love to give he just explodes. Until he collapses into sweet dreaming mode😂 Steve has been so patient and understanding of family circumstances and has been so supportive. Even reinforcing training and exposure on the daily to keep Junie the bestest boy ever. I’m grateful for Steve.”
About: I've been taking care of all kinds of babies since I was a little girl. From bottle feeding bunnies and kittens to reptiles and horses. I usually always have some kind of a rescue at my house whether it be a foster dog or a some off the wall duck someone brought to me. I take care of them all as they were my own. My true passion is training though! My father has always trained his bird dogs as well as others and I've just always enjoyed seeing what different breeds can do/pick up on. I work remote and part-time at that, so I have plenty of time to tend to your fur baby. I have a fairly open schedule so I can be pretty flexible to fit your needs! I have a large yard (it's being fenced but is not currently) my 2 dogs and cat would love to play with your baby. We enjoy long walks or just snuggling on the couch. I'll treat yours as my own.
About: I have had dogs in my home for almost my whole life. I have a pug, golden retriever, and a mutt that are all a couple years apart in age. For two years, I volunteered at a humane society where I walked and cared for dogs of all kinds. Senior, puppy, sick, I have a lot of experience and I would love to get more! I’m currently working at a golf course near Forest Lake. My schedule for work comes out weekly, so I’m unaware what my weeks look like well in advance. I don’t like to do this, but if your pups are able to be home for about 6-8, then this would be a great fit! Obviously I wouldn’t work every day of the week, so I will be available to give them my full attention. Your pups are my priority and I wouldn’t want them to feel uncomfortable with my wack work schedule in any way. My shifts will either be 6-2 or 2-9, or shorter. I prioritize respect for your space and routines. Whether your pet prefers potty breaks in a fenced yard or leashed walks, I’ll follow your preferences to keep them comfortable and safe.
“Regan was amazing with my puppy. She sent me multiple updates throughout the days, fed my dog, took her potty, played, etc.. while I was at work. I plan on using her again :)”
“Lauren really loves animals and it shows. I’ve never met anyone so kind and caring with their pets. This is the best pet sitting experience I’ve ever had by far and my dog seemed really happy. I’ll be using Lauren exclusively from now on. Thank you so much Lauren 🩷”
About: Taking care of your pets is my top priority and making sure you get back to a happy dog. I’ve dog sat and cat sat for neighbors, family friends and friends of my own. I always have a lot of energy and I enjoy being around dogs and playing with them and walking them. I’m always making sure I’m on top of things to make sure everything that needs to be done is done and all the requirements are fulfilled. Pets always do a good job at comforting and making us happy, so I want to make sure I do the same and give back to them. I’ll treat your furry friends as they were my own with love and care and a lot of playtime. I also do house keeping and anything else you need help with around the house or errands.

I have a cable for supervised potty time in the yard. I am experienced with crate training. I am clean and professional, respecting your space and routines in your home.

About: Hi, I’m Sarah! I’m 18 years old and have loved animals for as long as I can remember. I grew up with both dogs and cats, and I currently have four dogs of my own, so I’ve always been surrounded by animals. I work at a dog daycare in Lawrence, where I care for dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities. I supervise playgroups, feed dogs, give medications when needed, and make sure they’re safe and having a good time. Working there has given me experience with all kinds of dogs and taught me how important it is to pay attention to each pet’s individual needs. I’m also experienced with cats and am happy to care for both friendly, outgoing cats and the more shy, independent ones. I recently graduated from high school and will be starting my pre-veterinary studies at JCCC this fall. My dream is to become a veterinarian! My boyfriend, Cameron, is 20 and helps me with pet sitting. He loves animals just as much as I do and has plenty of experience with them. He helped train our German Shepherd from puppyhood and grew up with several cats, so he’s comfortable caring for both dogs and cats. I just like to let everyone know that Cameron may accompany me on visits or overnight stays. We both genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, and we’ll make sure your pets are loved and well cared for while you’re away. I work Tuesday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM, but I’m available before work, during my breaks, and after work. So I am able to check your pets every 4-5 hours.

Whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, medications, or plenty of cuddles, I’ll make sure they get the attention and care they deserve. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I’d love the chance to meet you and your pets! Feel free to reach out with any questions or to set up a meet and greet.

When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always prioritize safety and trust. I keep doors securely closed until the pet is safely leashed or in the yard, depending on the home setup. I follow all family instructions and safety precautions. During walks, I choose the safest route and give my full attention to the pet’s comfort and well-being.
About: My sister runs kennels of all types of animals, i’ve gained so many experiences from her to bring proper care to your (fur) children ! i currently work part time as a barista, and i love animals so much so why not fit them into all of my free time! i have a big fenced yard that we keep clean, i have big pet beds and 3 different watering stations at my house. I am very good at reading animal language and have a certain knack for taking care of animals!
About: I have been working for a dog boarding and daycare facility for about a year and a half now! I have learned lots about dog behavior and how to interact with lots of different personalities- and I am still learning every day! I have experience in administering medications and would love to meet your pup! I currently work full-time caring for pets at a daycare facility, typically working either 6-1 or 1-7 Tuesday through Saturday. Fully available on Sunday and Monday! I have my own pup who is fixed and very friendly! I can bring him along if you want your dog to have any socialization or burn extra energy, but I am also more than happy to focus on your pet!
About: I have always been known to my parents friends and neighbors and the person to call if you need help watching your animal. I’ve been pet sitting dogs specifically for just over 4 years but before that I watched everything from cats, to fish, and hamsters. I’ve dealt with numerous dogs suffering from seizures along with many recovering from surgery’s so I know how to handle almost everything. I’m currently a college student. I have some Morning commitments however I can be home with your pet for most of the day, or stop by at any point during the day to walk or let them out. I have an english golden retriever myself so there is another dog within my house, however he’s very friendly with other dogs. We don’t use a crate in our house and the dogs are allowed on the furniture but I’m happy to follow whatever you prefer for your own animal.
About: In my day job I am a home health/ Hospice assistant so I not only have experience taking care of people I also take care of people's fur babies when they are unable to. I also grew up with dogs so there is not a day that goes by in 25 years I have not taken care of a furry friend I currently work monday through friday 730am to 330 pm so afternoons and weekends are when I am most avaliable, and over nights as needed. I have vast knowledge of walking safety, leash control/safety, environmental triggers, and the importance of hydration and rest. When pet setting, I like to have a secure outdoor/ yard area, i stick to the owner and dogs set routine,and I like to respect that I am a guest in the animals home
About: I grew up taking care of puppies and rescues with my mom, and then moved into helping at a shelter while I was in college. As a grad student and current renter, I can’t have pets of my own so am glad to have the chance to get some cuddles in with yours. I'm happy to work with dogs of all ages and sizes and follow direction well if you are working with any training techniques. I have a soft spot for older dogs in particular and am also happy to look after any plants. I currently attend KU as a grad student where I teach two days a week and am focused on finishing my thesis this semester. I have a fairly flexible schedule and so can maintain a consistent routine for most pets while you’re gone. I’ve traveled a lot and been fortunate to be a guest in many people’s home. I pride myself on being respectful and leaving a house at least as good as I found it. I also try to prioritize pet comfort since I'm a guest in their home too. I try to let them lead interactions so they have a chance to warm up on their own level. I'm also happy to respect household rules and uphold the boundaries the pets are used to (ie., if they're not allowed on certain furniture). If you have any plants that need care while you're away, I love leaning into my green thumb too.
About: I have been lucky enough to take care of my friends' and families' pets for over 15 years. It can be hard on pets when their people are away. I appreciate that, and take extra care in making sure their schedules are kept and they get the love and attention they need to make them feel secure and happy. I often take care of my brother's 11 year old german shepherd, three cats, 6 chickens, and my nephew's beta fish while my brother and his family are away. I have watched many of my friends' dogs and cats (some with medical needs) as well as a sweet blue-cheeked conure. I am almost always available, and I feel comfortable giving medication in any form if necessary. I am lucky enough to have a pretty flexible work schedule. I have the ability to cater my schedule around your animals’ needs and schedules. I respect your pets daily routine. If your animals need extra care, such as medication, I have experience administering them. I’m able to give as many potty breaks as your pups need and make sure they get a lot of attention.
About: I have had dogs since I was born, from chihuahuas to labradors. Over the years I have taken care of friends and family's various animals, pet sitting, dog walking, and even helping groom them. I love all animals and believe all animals should be loved! I especially love taking care of senior animals, and make sure to care for them at their level. Im very good with time management and routines, making sure your animals are always cared for on time and in their routine. I also love taking care of puppies. I love playtime, walks, and ensuring your puppies don't tear down the house! All pets should be healthy, happy, and active. I will ensure your fur baby gets the best care while thriving in a safe, loving environment. Im currently in collage starting my Junior Year, when Im not in classes I am available, both morning and night, and usually free on the weekends. I am very adaptable to schedules and would love to make both our schedules work! I offer pet walking, and pet sitting, and daily check ins. I want to ensure your pet gets all the care they need, on time and in their specific routines. As well as making your pet feel loved and cared for.

“Steve is great. Really good guy who obviously cares about his and other people’s pets. He’s very accommodating and flexible. My dogs enjoy being there. Steve has become my go-to pet sitter in Lawrence.”
“Brandin and Diana were really easy to work with and flexible when our schedule changed a bit. Our pup, Phoebe, seemed happy when we picked her up and you could tell she even bonded with their daughter! We’ll be using them again for boarding!”
“Natalia is so nice and accommodating! She has a huge heart, and I trust her with my sweet babies! She was willing to walk me every step of the way, and have the patience to talk to me anytime I needed to express care and concern. I’ll definitely be using the service again!”
“This is our second boarding with Lauren for our German Shepherd puppy and this day was wonderful for our dog and us. Lauren is great with communication and updates and our puppy loves spending time with her and her dogs. Highly recommend Lauren! She’s made being a new pet owner so much easier knowing we can entrust our puppy to someone loves him like her own!”
“Carissa took great care of my Nala. Nala hurt her leg a few days before we were going out of town and Carissa was very willing to give her the extra attention she needed! She will definitely be hangout out with Carissa again!!”
“Outstanding! From the moment I arrived, it was clear that Cheryl is a dog person's dog person. My beast boldly explored her home to her laughter and then he settled in to hold her hand on the couch. Cheryl's provision of photos while I was away proved a great comfort to me and her conveyance of concern for my animal's paws in the icy snow demonstrated the level of care she affords her charges. I highly recommend Cheryl and will happily book her again in the future. Cheryl is accommodating and caring to the highest degree. My big yellow beast wants me to say hello for him.”
“Daisy stayed with Kelsey and family for 12 days. She bonded with their dogs and cats and Kelsey shared several photos of them together. Daisy is 13 and has arthritis and anxiety and takes several medications. She requires extra attention and the family went above expectations to care for her needs. I hope she can stay with them again.”
“Truly an awesome experience! I can’t thank Megan and super sweet family enough for welcoming my high anxiety girl into their home and loving on her as if she was their own. I could tell by the updates and pictures that Megan sent daily that Rosie was happy and enjoying her stay, which gave me great peace of mind and allowed me to throughly enjoy my vacation. I have no doubt Rosie will miss playing with the kiddos and family pets, but not for long since we’re already planning another stay in just a few weeks!”
About: I grew up taking care of dogs and cats. My family always had either a dog or cats or both. I’ve always loved taking care of them and loving on them. I work from home on weekdays so I’m always around, and my husband is home at night and on weekends. Our home is dog friendly and revolves around our dog, Millie. There are dog toys in every room, treats in the cupboards, and all furniture is dog approved and appreciated. I’m self employed and I work from home, so I’m able to give your pets lots of attention and care. They will get plenty of potty breaks, time outside, and walks around the neighborhood and to the park. We have a fenced in yard that has plenty of room to run and play in and windows for people watching and neighborhood patrolling. We also have a friendly dog who loves to play and meet new people. Your pets will be watched closely and loved on thoroughly!
“Elizabeth gave great care to my two dogs. They were very happy there. It was such a good experience. So much better than putting them in a kennel. She walked them twice a day and gave them love and attention. I will definitely board my dogs here again.”
“Thanks Melanie for accomodating my fairly last-minute boarding need! Abby and I both felt immediately comfortable with her, her partner, and their home. Communication was prompt and thorough, and I loved all the pictures! I'd def recommend Melanie and rebook!”
“Tobey had a great time with Jennifer! We were able to do a last minute booking with her without any complications and she was eager to help. She also kept me updated and sent me photos while we were gone! Would definitely recommend and will plan to use her in the future!”
“We have trusted our doggie with Amelia and Matthew a few times now and we are so grateful for them! They take excellent care of him and keep us updated on how things are going. If you’re looking for sitters you can really trust, they’re the best!!”
“Luke is so great with Mickey and Coco! Luke is always keeping us updated and sending us photos of the dogs! We can see that Coco and Mickey enjoy their time at Luke’s house. Luke is a great dog sitter and we know he treats our dogs well and they are safe with him! We highly recommend Luke for anyone who wants their dogs to be safe and happy while they are away on a trip.”
“Regan was awesome! She worked around the holiday schedule and got our pup in for our trip. Very professional and gave us updates daily! Will be using her in the future as my go-to gal in the area:)”
“Petra was a phenomenal sitter for our dogs. She was very communicative and friendly when setting up boarding. She sent photos each day and her property was great for two herding dogs to run around off leash. Perhaps most importantly, our dogs took to her right away since she treated them like her own. Petra is a warm and caring person and I give her my highest recommendation!”
“Daniel was so kind, attentive, and our dog was clearly well cared for. He was flexible when my drop off and pick up times were shifting. I would definitely use him again to watch my baby if we’re in Lawrence again. Thank you Daniel!!!!”
