Whether your dog loves to play, cuddle, explore, or just relax, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. For drop-in visits, I’m happy to provide potty breaks, fresh food and water, walks if requested, playtime, medication (when applicable), and lots of love and attention.

About: I’ve been taking care of animals ever since I was a kid! I currently have three dogs of my very own who I love more than anything. I’ve recently gained experience taking care of chickens and ducks as well! I can take care of pretty much any animal as long as I am comfortable doing so and shown what to do beforehand 😊 My schedule is currently very flexible. I’m good with set schedules as long as they fit my own, or just sporadic check ups! I am currently a stay at home mom during the day and have a part time job 3 nights a week. Please note that during the week I may bring my kids with me for walks or drop ins, but they will be in a car seat/stroller the entire time. 😊 I’ve recently decided to start doggy day care in my home! This will be up to my own discretion since I have two younger children in the home and three dogs as well, so I want to make sure all pets are a good fit!
About: I recently retired from the Navy and now live with my wife on 9 peaceful acres, just about a mile and a half off Highway 50 near Powell Gardens. It’s just the two of us here—no kids, no pets at the moment, aside from two laid-back turtles. We’ve had dogs in the past and loved every minute, but after moving frequently, we decided to hold off for now. That said, we’d love to show care and attention to your dog as if they were our own. Since I’m fully retired, I’m home throughout the day. I usually go for a daily walk for exercise, which works perfectly if your pup enjoys a good stroll. Our ranch-style home has pet-friendly vinyl floors and tons of open space to explore. While we don’t have a fenced yard, there’s plenty of room to roam—just let me know if your dog needs to stay on a leash and I’ll make sure to accommodate that. A Quick Note About Your Dog Please feel free to share any special needs, preferences, or routines your dog might have. And of course, if you have any questions at all, don’t hesitate to reach out. I’m genuinely excited to meet your doggo! I am fully retired so I can be home all day. Typically, I exercise with a walk so that would work with the dog as well. I have a large ranch style home with pet friendly vinyl floors. In plenty of land for dogs to run around I do not have a fenced in area so if your dog needs to be on a leash that is fine I just need to know.
“We are so pleased with this outstanding service. Our puppy Buddy (18 month-old Newfiedoodle) totally enjoyed his experience with Shawn. He came home to us happy and went back to Shawn happily the next day. Shawn was a delight to work with. We’ll use his outstanding service again next time we’re in the KC area. Thanks so very much for making this a great experience.”

Most of all, I want pet parents to feel secure knowing their animals are safe, loved, and cared for while they’re away.

New pets are introduced to my own cats slowly and safely, using baby gates and separate spaces if necessary. Anxious pets are given a quiet room of their own, puppies enjoy extra playtime, and seniors receive the gentle attention they deserve. I ask owners to share their pet’s daily routine and favorite items like beds, blankets, or toys, so they feel right at home. Every day, I send photos and videos to keep owners connected and reassured that their pets are safe, loved, and comfortable

I also specialize in the care of reptiles, fish tanks, turtles, and tortoises, ensuring the highest quality care for all your pets. I am available most evenings and fully free on Mondays and Tuesdays. Additionally, I work part-time at a local brewery, providing flexibility in my schedule. People feel safe leaving their pets with me because of my extensive experience, professional certifications, and genuine dedication to providing attentive, loving and responsible care.
About: I love caring for cats and dogs and getting to know their distinct personalities and needs. In addition to pet sitting I have three beautiful rescue pets of my own - a gray tabby cat and two beautiful great danes. I am experienced, reliable, and excited to care for your pet just as I would my own! I teach a few days a week but I usually work remotely and have the flexibility and availability for drop-ins during the work day and evenings. 🌞🌛 I am not looking to care for pets in my own home, having recently adopted a kitten who is not yet fixed. However, I am prepared to care for your pet in your home/yard and would be sure to respect any boundaries or guidelines you set so you and your pet feel comfortable and safe. 🐶😺
About: I’ve always had dogs growing up and I had my own for 7 years. I miss him dearly and would love to be able to give part time lovins to others for now until I find another to call my own! I work full time as a mortician from 6a-6p but I have evenings and weekends free and even some day time availability to feed, walk, let out or just love some pups! I do live in an apartment, however they have a fenced in dog area. I’m willing to travel to your house or they’re definitely welcome in mine!
About: I grew up on a farm with 16 horses, cows, dogs, and cats, which gave me solid experience in animal care. I also travel, camp, and hike with my cat, Pumpkin, which has helped me learn to manage various pet needs while on the move. My background includes experience with horses, dogs, and cats, as well as training and handling. I’m skilled in caring for both active and senior pets, providing personalized attention. My adaptability and travel experience make me a reliable choice for pets needing a caring and flexible sitter. I am currently working a scheduled 8-4:30 Monday - Friday schedule, however, I have most Fridays off. I am always available on weekends and can usually schedule nights. I have been using Rover, house-sitting, and pet-sitting for a few years now. I treat any home like I would my own and bring the "leave no trace" mindset wherever I go. I fully respect any customer and pet's home I am in and will clean up any accidents and make sure they are comfortable!

Tory is absolutely the BEST puppy sitter we've ever had, and we will always recommend her skilled services and care to anyone!”

Reno had such a good time playing with Huck and Pearl. Very happy with everything and will definitely use Ashley's services again! Highly recommend!”
