“Wonderful pet sitting from Noreen and her family. They picked up my doggy and dropped him off as well as sent me many photos and updates. I would definitely book with them again. My doggy was well kept, clean and happy upon return. Thank You!”
“Lona and Alan were amazing at watching my baby! They have wonderful ideas and games for mental stimulation. They make sure to get all the details and preferences for caring for your pet, and are on top of sending updates multiple times a day so you don’t worry. I have no doubt for any future trips I’ll take that my dog will be in great hands!”
“Joseph took care of Luna for a little over 2 weeks, and we couldn’t be more pleased. We got the perfect amount of updates and pictures/videos. We’ve left Luna in Jospeh’s care several times at this point, and have no plans of stopping in the future.”
“My fur babies had a wonderful stay with Taylor. She is so kind, even my sensitive pup, June warmed up to her instantly! Taylor was very flexible when our pickup /drop off times shifted and checked in during the visit to let me know the puppies we doing good. Highly recommend Taylor for anyone looking to have a pet sitter they can trust. Thank you so much Taylor! We will book again with you soon! ☺️”
“Dominic and his team at home took great care of Maddie. She came home worn out from all the playing with the other dogs. They have a great yard for outdoor playtime and plenty of beds all around (and a lap or two).”
“The best dog sitter in KC! My dog Coco has the best time with Angelica and her dogs. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a great dog sitter who's friendly, accommodating, and an overall great experience. You can tell she really cares about you and your dog”
“My shy fearful dog who is afraid of her shadow was shivering in the back seat until Ashley started talking to her and she jumped right out. I couldn't have been happier. She's our dog whisperer now! We will be booking again soon!”
“Nathen has always been super quick with communication, responding to booking requests usually within minutes and is always available to answer questions we may have. Even on short stays he still sends at least one picture a day. Highly recommend!”
“Rocio was absolutely amazing. This was our first time using rover so we didn’t know what to expect but she made it so easy and comfortable leaving Vinny for the weekend. She sent us frequent updates and pictures of our dog having the vacation of his life. She really cares about the dogs she watches and takes great care of them. Will absolutely be using her again in the future for doggy daycare or overnight boarding. Can’t recommend enough!”
“I feel so gory to have found this rover family. They loved and cared for my anxious doggo so well and kept me updated with photos. I already have them scheduled for future vacations!”
“Great sitter! Only my family has cared for him before and he hasn't been around other dogs much so I was a little anxious about leaving him with a stranger. My dog is big and strong and can be a handful but Ashley did a great job. Good communication. I'd feel very comfortable about leaving Champ with her again.”
“Abigail was amazing! We needed a last minute dog sitter. She was super quick to respond and was glad to help. We were gone for a couple days. She was very communicative, sending us updates and photos throughout. Abigail clearly has a love for animals and knowledge about caring for dogs. We’re so grateful for her accommodating our last minute request and would highly recommend her to other potential clients.”
“She was great with our dog Papa. He doesn't really play with toys, but she found ways to keep him occupied and happy. She kept us updated with pictures. So glad we found her as opposed to boarding.”
“I can't thank Gail and Dog Vacay enough!! Right from the meet and greet I knew I had picked the best. Our 12 year old Aussie/Collie mix Sydney felt so at home immediately. Gail's comfortable home let Sydney keep up with her daily pastimes: sleeping on the sofa and looking out the window! :) Sydney takes daily meds which were administered with no problem. Gail sent updates and even pictures to us that made my vacation more relaxed too. Gail's other little border gave Sydney a fun friend. I'm not sure Sydney wanted us to come home! Gail is a teriffic lady and was a great surrogate mom for Sydney. Thanks again- Christine B.”
“Kaylie was fantastic with our King Charles. He has a little anxiety and she won him over within two minutes of meeting him. She was very easy to work with. Great communication. We were visiting Kansas City and needed a dog sitter. I highly recommend Kaylie, and will use her again if we are in the area!”
“Rachel was great! She clearly cares about and has the ability to put our dog at ease throughout the stay. We appreciated her flexibility and detailed updates. Would highly recommend! We hope to have her care for our dog again!”
“I have a 6yo Olde English Bulldogge named Decimus. I went on a Family Retreat to Gatlinburg, Tn. for a week. I was unaware the place booked did not allow pets. I booked Christine to watch my furbaby. She did a most excellent job taking care of him & with his special instructions. Daily updates with several pictures. I highly recommend! 5 stars definitely.”
About: For most of my life I have owned a dog and for all of my life I have loved dogs! As I kid, I helped care for my family dog, Dexter, until he was 17 years old. Currently, my wife and I have a 28 lb. Beagle/Lab mix Riley. She's such a joy in our lives. I know how important your dog is to you, so I will care for yours like she/he is mine, with lots of love, playtime, walks and great care. Now that I’m a stay-at-home dad I have so much more time to spend with Riley and you’re dog, too! From young puppies to seniors, I have cared for a wide range of sizes, needs, and breeds. Each dog requires special care and I am here to provide just that. I am willing to make most requests and special accommodations. Ask and I will let you know if I can meet your needs. In addition to walking and visiting with your dog, communication and updates are important services that I provide. When I am away from my pet, I want to know she's okay and receiving the best care. I'll send as many or as little photos of your fur baby as you'd like, so you can confidently know that she/he is being take care of; the photos will also give you a little smile to get you through the day. We also have a 9 year old cat, Moby. He keeps to himself and his cat tree on most days, but we occasionally receive some lap visits from him.

“I've had Billie Jo look after my two cats twice, and I'll definitely ask her back. Everything has been just as I have requested, and even my shy cat seems pretty comfortable with her now.”
“Jenna was absolutely incredible! Super friendly, sent lots of photos, always made sure their food was full and their litter was clean. Gave constant updates which was deep appreciated as someone who is an anxious cat mom!”
“Amanda was great. Socialized with our cats each day, in addition to feeding and cleaning up after them. Sent us pictures and videos everyday with an update on how the cats were behaving.”
“Theresa stopped by to check on my two cats and she was awesome! I felt confident that the cats were well taken care of, she sent lots of pictures and was very responsive.”
“Kodiak was the best! They were super reliable, sent us updates and photos every day, and took great care of our kitties. It was really nice not having to worry when we were gone! When we got home there was a handwritten card and toys left for our cats, that was such a thoughtful touch and honestly made our day. We’d absolutely rebook and would recommend them to anyone! :)”
About: I’ve cared for cats since I was 8 years old and have had a deep love for them since. I’ve fostered 3 cat liters, twice with their mother. I have never not had a cat in my home and currently have two sweet babies! I rescued one from the feral life and my other was actually the singular kitten she had after her rescue. Cats are often neglected or overlooked due to them being labeled as “easy pets” since they are often independent. But I know they are so much more complex than that. Each one has their own personality, preferences, and niche quirks. Your cat will be respected and cared for as if they were my own!
“She is very reliable and communicative when she watched my 2 dogs for the 4th of July weekend. I am very appreciative to have found her and definitely recommend her to anyone needing a great dog sitter. Thank you Hannah!”
About: I respect cats' wide variety of personalities and differing levels of tolerance for strangers. If your cat loves to snuggle, we will snuggle. If your cat would be happier with me putting the food in the dish and backing away slowly, I can make that happen. I can administer meds if you let me know what works best for your kitty and am happy to play, snuggle, talk to, or leave your cat alone- whatever they like best. :)
About: I have the most experience caring for dogs and cats. Growing up, I always had pet dogs. Once I was finally on my own, I got my first cat and fully embraced the “cat lady” stereotype. I now have two other cats and one of them I raised from 4 weeks old. I therefore feel very experienced with bottle baby kittens.
“We came home from a nine day trip to our senior kitty happy and healthy. Thank you, Riley! She gave him his daily meds and made his food just the way he likes it. Pictures shows he got his required daily cuddles, too.”
“Olivia gives us great peace of mind when we travel. She's utterly reliable, arriving on time and sending pictures every day. Our shy cat warmed right up to her and was happy and healthy when we got home. Olivia is a natural animal person.”
“Kyle was great. Ella is an insulin dependent diabetic and he reliably made visits to time her dosing appropriately. He was also available on short notice which really helped me out. Many thanks Kyle!”
About: Hey y'all! I'm a looooong time fur mom and lover of all animals. We have a 3 goofy rescues Innu, Brodie Lee and lil sis Alora, but we want to help 'em make more friends! They are SUPER dog friendly and so are we. We take them on walks through our neighborhood and local parks which can lead to off path walking, so I may have to give a bath to your fur babies. We live in a hard wood floor house so accidents are no sweat to us! Our home is well kept and very animal friendly. I've worked in shelters, rescues, and have had many rehabilitated and injured fur babies throughout my life. My kids are my helpers as they are ready for new dogs with different levels of activities and have learned basic training methods from following me. We're here to be the safest and BEST sitters in the metro! I work remotely from my office which looks out into the back yard and allots me a great deal of time to really bond and have a good time sitting others pups! With all to do in the city I just know your pups will enjoy us as much as ours do. I have a oddly terrained fenced yard with a flat patio and tons of shady spots for the dogs to lounge for as long as they please (weather permitting). I leave a big ole' water bowl out there as well - holds 2 gallons and I fill it every day at the beginning and throughout the day.
“Lara was great! She came to my home and checked in on my babies while I was on vacation. I received an update with pictures that I really appreciated. I would highly recommend her.”
About: I worked at a vet clinic for 2 years, walking, feeding, and watering the cats and dogs. My main task was to take care of and make sure the pets were comfortable. I have two large dogs of my own who are the craziest dogs ever, so I believe that I can take care of the craziest of pets. I am also an Animal Science major in college, so I have some knowledge on how to treat and take care of animals. Also, I have a passion for animals and will do anything to take care of them so they are happy. I believe that I am responsible and mature to be able to handle the most playful of pets. And one of my favorite past times is playing with my pets, so being able to play with any pet is something I strive to make fun. Pet care will fit in around my work schedule. I work everyday during the week until 4-5pm. I am available on most weekends and most weeknights if needed. I know the importance of taking care of someone's pet. They are your family member, like my dog is mine. Therefore, I will take care your pet to the best of standard.
About: If I had to describe myself, I'd say I'm a bit of a Disney princess—animals just seem to warm up to me. 😊 While I've never personally owned a cat, I've cared for cats from 20+ different families over the past 10 years, so I'm comfortable with all kinds of personalities, from the social "pet me immediately" type to the shy "I'll watch you from across the room for three days" type. I believe every cat deserves to be cared for on their terms. Whether that means sitting quietly while they decide if I'm trustworthy, playing with their favorite toy, sticking to a strict feeding routine, or simply making sure they have a calm, clean, stress-free environment while you're away, I'm happy to adapt to what makes them most comfortable. I know how important updates are when you're missing your pets, so I make it a point to send plenty of photos and messages so you can relax knowing they're happy, healthy, and well cared for. My goal isn't just to stop by and refill a food bowl—it's to make your cat feel as safe and comfortable as possible until you're home.
“Megan really helped me in a last minute pinch. She was very responsive. I have a furbo camera and watched the footage later. She was so great with the pups! We didn't get to do a meet and greet ahead of time, but she confidently got in and gained their trust. She got them to potty and played with them like I asked for almost an hour. She even refilled their water. Definitely will book with her again when we need!”

“Amanda was great, we went and did a visit. The visit went very well and her dog was very friendly and has a large backyard to run in. Amanda was very informative about the daycare that is provided and she would send videos during the day if you wanted.”
“I cannot recommend Lona & Alan enough! They took such amazing care of my dogs. From the daily updates and photos to their attentive care, I felt completely at ease knowing they were in great hands. I will definitely be booking with them again in the future!”
About: Hi! I’m Hailey, a lifelong dog lover with years of experience caring for dogs of all ages and energy levels. I work from home, so I have plenty of flexibility to give your pets the attention, exercise, and companionship they need. I have experience with puppy training and am trained in dog CPR. As a former collegiate athlete, I’m also happy to keep up with even the most energetic pups! My priority is making sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re in my care. As someone who works from home, pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily routine. With the flexibility of my schedule, I have the privilege of being available for your pets throughout the day. This means I can provide them with the attention, care, and companionship they need. Whether it's feeding, exercise, playtime, or administering any necessary medications, I can be there to tend to their needs promptly. Additionally, I understand the importance of maintaining a consistent routine for pets, so I ensure that their feeding and exercise schedules align with their usual habits. Rest assured, your furry companions will receive dedicated care and supervision, as I am always present and ready to meet their needs. The way I care for pets in my home or a client's home depends on the specific service being provided. Here are a few scenarios: In the client's home: Pet Sitting: When providing pet sitting services at a client's home, I make sure to replicate the pet's daily routine as closely as possible. This includes feeding them according to their usual schedule, providing fresh water, cleaning litter boxes, taking dogs for walks, and engaging in playtime or exercise based on their specific needs. I also offer companionship and affection to help reduce any separation anxiety they may experience. Drop-in Visits: During drop-in visits, I visit the client's home at scheduled times to check on their pets. I ensure they have food and water, clean litter boxes, let dogs out for bathroom breaks, and spend quality time with them, offering play and affection. Dog Walking: For dog walking services, I take the dogs on stimulating walks to provide exercise, mental stimulation, and an opportunity for bathroom breaks. I follow any instructions regarding route preferences, leash handling, or specific behavioral considerations. Regardless of the service provided, the well-being, safety, and happiness of the pets are my top priorities. I strive to create a comfortable and nurturing environment, maintain their regular routines, and shower them with love and attention, just as their owners would.
About: I’ve had dogs from a young age. Staying with me, they will get attention, love, play time and cuddles. They will also get to play with my dog Lexi. I work from home full time so I’m always here. I’m able to go outside and play with your pups or give them extra attention. I have a fenced in yard with locks on my gates. I have a doggie door and the back door is always open. I have a 5 year old pup that is very calming and caring. She has been great with other dogs. She is very nurturing and always makes sure those in her space are safe. I have a couple of stories I can provide about her. I am very hands on and constantly checking on my girl and will do the same for your furbaby. Safety is very important to me, not only for your furbaby but for myself and my furbaby as well.
“Melissa was fantastic!! Our boy Lando had a great time. When we dropped him off we could tell he would be in good hands. Melissa was even able to keep Lando a little while longer than originally planned on short notice. We would absolutely trust her to watch Lando again!!”
“Gail was very personable and knowledgeable about animal behavior. She handled my dogs with great care and they felt very comfortable with her. I would not hesitate to utilize her services again.”
About: While this is my start of professional dog sitting, I’ve been watching family and friends’ pets for many years. I even fostered a dog with behavioral issues a couple of years ago. My dog is my whole world and any pet in my care gets the same attention. I WFH most days, going into the office for a half a day every Wednesday and 3 full days at the beginning of the month. My job doesn’t require me to be glued to my computer so I can be very flexible with my schedule most days. I have a fenced in backyard with plenty of space to runaround. For wet or cold days, I have a mostly empty finished basement for playing. For dogs that want daily walks, I live in a safe neighborhood where I walk my own dog multiple times a day.
About: My love for dogs run deep I enjoy haveing an connection that’s very strong I will treat them as if they were my own and make sure they are well cared for at all times. Mi amor por los perros es profundo. Disfruto tener una conexión que es muy fuerte. Los trataré como si fueran míos y me aseguraré de que estén bien cuidados en todo momento. Very open schedule with dogs as priority they will have plenty opportunities to go outside and play as well be indoors with me they will not be left alone My yard is enclosed with a privacy fence and secure place for all pets there will not be any issues as they will remain well looked after
“Christine was kind to care for my pup, Phoebe, on short notice when my regular sitter couldn’t come last minute. She and her kiddos kept Phoebe safe and comfortable!”
About: I’ve had yorkie’s, dobie’s, lab’s, shepherd’s and schnauzer’s. My little Stevie passed away in April after 13 years together. She can’t be replaced so I’m looking to fill the void by caring for others while my heart mends. I have a lot of free time without a set schedule so there is always time to snuggle and play and go for walks together. I have a 4’ tall fenced yard with neighbors that have dogs too. I stay outside with the dogs and do not leave them alone. Dogs will have the run of my house and are allowed on the furniture and the beds too.

About: I’ve had dogs all my life and it seemed the family dogs always gravitated toward me. I can’t imagine life without them! I’ve been caring for other’s dogs ever since I got my drivers license. The first dog I watched for a family (a beautiful Alaskan husky) had diabetes and required diabetic shots twice a day. Even though it hurt to have to give him shots, I loved having the opportunity to care for dogs other than my own. Since then I’ve had the opportunity of being the go-to dog watcher for several families with several different dog (and cat) breeds. I will make every effort to give your dog the same care that I was able to give Skyler and the rest of the dogs I’ve had the great fortune of watching and taking care of. There’s not many things that give me more joy than spending time with dogs. Now that I have more time on my hands in my 30’s I have recently gotten connected with volunteering with KC Pet Project. Dogs deserve all the love in the world. I currently work from home Monday and Friday so in addition to the weekend, it opens up availability to be present for the doggie. I’m in the office Tuesday - Thursday but available for morning/evening and quick bathroom breaks over lunch. I have a fenced in backyard and ample space inside the house to make your dog comfortable. I can crate if needed, but also have rooms that can function as “dog” rooms for the periods when I need to leave the house. I have my own Belgian Malinois, who mostly does her own thing. :)
“Billie is so wonderful! We could not peacefully go to work without her help. Our dog is always happy when I get home and the house is always locked and secured after her departure. THANK YOU!”
“Erika was able to meet with me on a moment's notice and was very reliable. She even worked it out to drive a little farther than she would have liked. Thank you Erika!”
About: I grew up on a farm with many types of animals and hard work. I have worked in veterinary clinics as a kennel attendant and now a veterinary assistant for over 10 years. I have experience with dogs, cats, and exotic pets. I'm comfortable caring for elderly and sick pets as well as giving medications. I live and work in the Liberty MO area. I am an early morning person and can do early morning drop in visits and walks before 7 am (including weekends and holidays). I typically get my lunch break between 12-2 pm. I can come and do a drop in visit or do a short walk over my break. Evenings are a possibility but are less flexible and open. I can offer enrichment with treats, playtime and exercise. I like a good cuddle session as well as a hyper wrestling match, or active fetch game. I enjoy being out in God's creation and am open to more nature based walks if you have an active curious pup (like my own dog). I think cats should also be enriched and loved. I like playing games with cats and helping them feel comfortable and spoiled. I have owned a lizard of my own and am not afraid of reptiles or rodents. I think exotic pets need enrichment, entertainment, and love as well.
“I have been so pleased with Kodiak walking my dog on a regular basis. I get great feedback and pictures of of Barbie out on her walk. It’s been a relief to find someone so responsible and caring. I would not hesitate to recommend Kodiak to anyone who needs a trusted dog walker or sitter!”
“Theresa has been absolutely amazing! She is so kind and adaptable to my dog and his various levels of chaos for his twice weekly walks. She is punctual, spends an adequate amount of time with him, and always very loving. She has been the perfect addition to his routine. I get lots of photos and she lets me know how he did each time she picks him up. I am excited to continue working with her while I am still in school.”
About: I’ve had pets since I was a child and have been a natural with all pets for as long as I can remember. I am knowledgeable on animal body language, specifically dogs and cats. Being aware of animal body language helps me approach and interact with animals within their comfort zone and not stress them. Your pets are your family and I strive to treat them as such! I’ve cared for people’s pets for 2 years, including dog walking, taking dogs to the dog park, pet sitting. I have also worked with reactive dogs, and leash reactive dogs. I am not a professional trainer but as someone who has adopted a reactive dog and worked with him through it to the point he is no longer reactive, I know it can be stressful. I will strive to keep your animals away from scenarios that pushes their boundaries or causes them stress. I have been called a pet whisperer, as I haven’t met a cat or dog that doesn’t warm up to me quickly and trust me. Your dogs comfort and care is important. Your fur baby is safe with me 🐾 I have a pretty free schedule. So let me know what times or days you need and I can make it work as this is my main job right now. I follow their lead first on their trust and comfort with me. To gain this trust I read their body language and allow them space to approach and interact with me as they see fit! I try to stay present and in their sight, typically by sitting on the couch or floor to show them I am not a threat and I am calm. I talk to softly and only pet if it’s invited! Once your pet shows they trust and feel comfortable they get all the lovings and pets they want. I’ll play with them and walk with them. You tell me what your pets need and I got them!
“Abigail was simply amazing with the dogs! She was very good with them, send frequent updates when she walked them, including pictures! You could see the happiness in their faces, and that they were enjoying their time with Abigail. It was a huge relief to know that they were being taken care of when I couldn't be there for them. I would recommend Abigail to anyone!”
About: I have 3 dogs of my own ranging from a pit/akita to a chihuahua, and cats as well! I have great experience with dogs and cats! I’ve volunteered for KCPP (Kansas City Pet Project) for 7 almost 8 years now. Taking dogs on walks, giving training, feeding, and cleaning messes. But my love for animals didn’t start there. When my dad was teaching me to ride a bike, he kept telling me to watch where I was going—but I got distracted by a neighbor walking their dog. I turned, excitedly asking if I could pet it, and rode straight into a tree. Scraped knee, a little embarrassed… but my first question was still, “Can I pet the dog?” That’s how much I’ve always loved dogs. (True story by the way) I have a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate walks, feedings, and check-ins throughout the day, whether it’s early mornings, afternoons, or evenings. I stay organized and dependable. I care for pets with patience, attention, and genuine love, treating each one like they’re my own. I make sure their basic needs are always met—fresh water, proper feeding, regular walks, and a safe, clean environment—while also paying close attention to their behavior and comfort. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or sticking to a specific routine, I adapt to each pet’s personality to keep them happy, healthy, and stress-free.
About: I have experience caring for dogs, cats, small mammals, horses, fish, and some reptiles. I am an animal lover through and through, so whatever kind of pet you have, I promise to care for them as if they were my own. I am great at following instructions, so even if it is a new type of critter I haven't met before, I will provide care exactly as you direct. I have extensive experience with senior dogs, diabetes management, blind and/or deaf animals, and other medical care. I am not deterred by special needs animals. If you can show me how to perform the necessary tasks, I can do them. I will ensure that your babies get their special diet, their meds (pills or injections), their specific bedtime routine, or even just their exact required number of belly rubs and forehead kisses to keep their routine as steady as possible. I love sending photos and updates so that you know your pet is happy and healthy while you are away. Looking forward to meeting you and your pet! I work fulltime Mon-Fri. I can visit before I go to work in the mornings, anytime during evenings and weekends, and I can do midday check-ins for a quick potty break or medications on my lunch break. I am currently only offering services in the client's home. I will care for your pet carefully according to your instructions and will be respectful of your home and privacy. I will make sure everything is locked up behind me before leaving and if you want me to turn the porch light on at night or bring in your mail, etc. just let me know!
About: For the past 4 years and counting I have always had a passion for the safety and well-being of all pets. I have always been surrounded by dogs and cats and want to share all the love with any pet regardless of their reactivity or love back for me. I always come with a smart and safe approach until the pup or cat can trust me. I’ve worked for a dog bar park and have professional dog walking experience here in KC where the skills not only improved me, but really made enjoy and appreciate the pet industry more. I can promise effective communication, love, patience, joy, appreciation and happiness with your pet; I want to give the same love from my own pets to yours! I push to make pet care my full time job, I have a strong and pure passion for pets all over the Kansas City area! Walks — I offer play dates at a safe environment with consent and communication with the owner as well as walks. If I have a reactive dog I ask for specifics of their triggers and then apply it to make their walk as safe as possible! At the end of their walk I am very descriptive and honest with my client! If a pup is a senior or puppy I would like to create a safe in home enrichment environment so that they can enjoy themselves! Sits — this all depends on the clients schedule for their pup for their day to day routine! I make it as comfortable for the pups as possible! My clients I currently do have, have fully trust me and the PUPdates they get from me are specific and detailed! They receive three updates per day! They are never worried or have to check in to see how their pup is doing!

About: For most of my life I have owned a dog and for all of my life I have loved dogs! As I kid, I helped care for my family dog, Dexter, until he was 17 years old. Currently, my wife and I have a 28 lb. Beagle/Lab mix Riley. She's such a joy in our lives. I know how important your dog is to you, so I will care for yours like she/he is mine, with lots of love, playtime, walks and great care. Now that I’m a stay-at-home dad I have so much more time to spend with Riley and you’re dog, too! From young puppies to seniors, I have cared for a wide range of sizes, needs, and breeds. Each dog requires special care and I am here to provide just that. I am willing to make most requests and special accommodations. Ask and I will let you know if I can meet your needs. In addition to walking and visiting with your dog, communication and updates are important services that I provide. When I am away from my pet, I want to know she's okay and receiving the best care. I'll send as many or as little photos of your fur baby as you'd like, so you can confidently know that she/he is being take care of; the photos will also give you a little smile to get you through the day. We also have a 9 year old cat, Moby. He keeps to himself and his cat tree on most days, but we occasionally receive some lap visits from him.
About: I love animals—all of them. I've had animals in my home since I was born, including dogs, cats, lizards, guinea pigs, and more. Over the years, I've gained a lot of experience caring for different kinds of animals, and I've found that understanding them comes naturally to me. Animal body language and communication are things I pick up on easily, which helps me recognize when a pet is comfortable, nervous, excited, or needs something. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, but first and foremost, my priority is making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I'll keep you updated on your pet's status to ensure you have comfort knowing someone is keeping a watchful eye over them. Currently, I'm unemployed as I'm awaiting openings in an electrical program I'd like to get into, so I have more than enough time to take care of whatever needs you may have! When caring for a pet in their home, I make their safety and comfort my top priorities. I follow the owner's instructions and routines as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, medication, playtime, and any other specific needs. I also make sure doors, gates, and other potential escape routes are secure, and I pay close attention to the pet's behavior and body language so I can recognize when they are stressed, uncomfortable, or need space. I treat every home with the same care and respect that I would want for my own.
“Kyle has been great! He has great energy and our pups love him. He has great communication. He's punctual, he's flexible, and he has pockets full of treats. He has even been working with our baby to stop her from pulling on walks. I am so happy to have found him.”
About: Hi! I’m Hailey, a lifelong dog lover with years of experience caring for dogs of all ages and energy levels. I work from home, so I have plenty of flexibility to give your pets the attention, exercise, and companionship they need. I have experience with puppy training and am trained in dog CPR. As a former collegiate athlete, I’m also happy to keep up with even the most energetic pups! My priority is making sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re in my care. As someone who works from home, pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily routine. With the flexibility of my schedule, I have the privilege of being available for your pets throughout the day. This means I can provide them with the attention, care, and companionship they need. Whether it's feeding, exercise, playtime, or administering any necessary medications, I can be there to tend to their needs promptly. Additionally, I understand the importance of maintaining a consistent routine for pets, so I ensure that their feeding and exercise schedules align with their usual habits. Rest assured, your furry companions will receive dedicated care and supervision, as I am always present and ready to meet their needs. The way I care for pets in my home or a client's home depends on the specific service being provided. Here are a few scenarios: In the client's home: Pet Sitting: When providing pet sitting services at a client's home, I make sure to replicate the pet's daily routine as closely as possible. This includes feeding them according to their usual schedule, providing fresh water, cleaning litter boxes, taking dogs for walks, and engaging in playtime or exercise based on their specific needs. I also offer companionship and affection to help reduce any separation anxiety they may experience. Drop-in Visits: During drop-in visits, I visit the client's home at scheduled times to check on their pets. I ensure they have food and water, clean litter boxes, let dogs out for bathroom breaks, and spend quality time with them, offering play and affection. Dog Walking: For dog walking services, I take the dogs on stimulating walks to provide exercise, mental stimulation, and an opportunity for bathroom breaks. I follow any instructions regarding route preferences, leash handling, or specific behavioral considerations. Regardless of the service provided, the well-being, safety, and happiness of the pets are my top priorities. I strive to create a comfortable and nurturing environment, maintain their regular routines, and shower them with love and attention, just as their owners would.
About: I've been around animals my entire life and understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. I grew up with dogs and have years of hands-on experience caring for animals of different personalities and needs. Currently, I have a large, energetic dog and a bunny of my own, so I'm comfortable caring for both dogs and small animals. I also previously volunteered as a foster for a local humane society, where I cared for dogs as they adjusted to new environments and prepared for their forever homes. That experience taught me patience, how to read animal body language, and how to help pets feel safe and comfortable. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply a calm companion, I'll make sure they receive the same love, attention, and care that I give my own pets. My goal is to provide a safe, fun, and stress-free experience while you're away, giving you peace of mind that your furry family member is in caring hands. I am currently on summer break so my schedule is pretty flexible. After summers I am free for drop ins in the morning and after school, and weekends! I have worked with dogs of all sizes and personalities. I look forward to loving your pup like my own for a short time! I will send updates and pictures while you are away!
About: I worked at a vet clinic for 2 years, walking, feeding, and watering the cats and dogs. My main task was to take care of and make sure the pets were comfortable. I have two large dogs of my own who are the craziest dogs ever, so I believe that I can take care of the craziest of pets. I am also an Animal Science major in college, so I have some knowledge on how to treat and take care of animals. Also, I have a passion for animals and will do anything to take care of them so they are happy. I believe that I am responsible and mature to be able to handle the most playful of pets. And one of my favorite past times is playing with my pets, so being able to play with any pet is something I strive to make fun. Pet care will fit in around my work schedule. I work everyday during the week until 4-5pm. I am available on most weekends and most weeknights if needed. I know the importance of taking care of someone's pet. They are your family member, like my dog is mine. Therefore, I will take care your pet to the best of standard.

“Lona and Alan were amazing at watching my baby! They have wonderful ideas and games for mental stimulation. They make sure to get all the details and preferences for caring for your pet, and are on top of sending updates multiple times a day so you don’t worry. I have no doubt for any future trips I’ll take that my dog will be in great hands!”
“Joseph took care of Luna for a little over 2 weeks, and we couldn’t be more pleased. We got the perfect amount of updates and pictures/videos. We’ve left Luna in Jospeh’s care several times at this point, and have no plans of stopping in the future.”
“My fur babies had a wonderful stay with Taylor. She is so kind, even my sensitive pup, June warmed up to her instantly! Taylor was very flexible when our pickup /drop off times shifted and checked in during the visit to let me know the puppies we doing good. Highly recommend Taylor for anyone looking to have a pet sitter they can trust. Thank you so much Taylor! We will book again with you soon! ☺️”

“Rocio was absolutely amazing. This was our first time using rover so we didn’t know what to expect but she made it so easy and comfortable leaving Vinny for the weekend. She sent us frequent updates and pictures of our dog having the vacation of his life. She really cares about the dogs she watches and takes great care of them. Will absolutely be using her again in the future for doggy daycare or overnight boarding. Can’t recommend enough!”
“I feel so gory to have found this rover family. They loved and cared for my anxious doggo so well and kept me updated with photos. I already have them scheduled for future vacations!”
“Abigail was amazing! We needed a last minute dog sitter. She was super quick to respond and was glad to help. We were gone for a couple days. She was very communicative, sending us updates and photos throughout. Abigail clearly has a love for animals and knowledge about caring for dogs. We’re so grateful for her accommodating our last minute request and would highly recommend her to other potential clients.”
“She was great with our dog Papa. He doesn't really play with toys, but she found ways to keep him occupied and happy. She kept us updated with pictures. So glad we found her as opposed to boarding.”
“Rachel was great! She clearly cares about and has the ability to put our dog at ease throughout the stay. We appreciated her flexibility and detailed updates. Would highly recommend! We hope to have her care for our dog again!”
“I have a 6yo Olde English Bulldogge named Decimus. I went on a Family Retreat to Gatlinburg, Tn. for a week. I was unaware the place booked did not allow pets. I booked Christine to watch my furbaby. She did a most excellent job taking care of him & with his special instructions. Daily updates with several pictures. I highly recommend! 5 stars definitely.”
