“Lindsay is always kind, helpful, and communicative. She went above and beyond for me when my dog had some complications from a biopsy so that I was still able to go home for the holidays. My dogs always enjoy being at her home”
“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!”
“Isha and Great took great care of our little dog recently. She came back happy and tired, which means they gave her a lot of love and attention. They also provided updates daily with photos. Highly recommend!”
“Jessica was great. She made me feel very comfortable leaving our Bruno with her. She has experience with dogs and other dogs in the home. Having humans and other dogs around was a lifesaver since our dog likes a lot of companionship. Way better than a kennel. Would highly recommend to anyone else and would book again!”
“Bandit was so happy and calm when I picked him up. It was very clear he was comfortable and well taken care of! She took him on several walks and sent many pictures. He was a HAPPY BOY!!”
“Samantha provided a safe, clean and extra loving home to our dog while we were away! She was communicative, and sent updates and photos throughout the week. I can tell our pup was so loved and well cared for!! Thank you to you and your family!!”
“Jack loves Laura and her house. She is friendly and warm and Jack runs into her house to see his friends. I have appreciated using Laura’s services because she is kind and caring to my dog.. I continue to use her above others bc I always feel Jack is safe, loved and cared for!”
“We couldn’t have asked for better sitters for our first time leaving our pup. The care and attention given to our dog was absolutely amazing. It was so clear how much they genuinely loved him and treated him like their own. They even had a welcome sign with a menu and activities. It was adorable. We received thoughtful updates, pictures, and constant reassurance that he was happy and well cared for. Picking up a relaxed, content boy says everything. We are beyond grateful and would trust Kris & Eric again in a heartbeat. Highly, highly recommend! 🐾💕”
“Cristina was amazing! This was our first time using Rover so we didn’t know what to expect. Cristina made our three-legged fur baby feel right at home. I really appreciated the picture updates she would send us throughout the stay. Will definitely use again in the future!”
“Stephanie was great with Pippin. We were happy to get pictures while away and to know he had a fenced yard to enjoy the outdoors...his favorite! He even received a good brushing!”
“Sharon and Glen had me feeling so comfortable when caring for my sweet pup. They constantly gave me updates and photos. They have two sweet dogs that were very precious and kind. I would recommend hiring them!”
“She took wonderful care of our dog. Peachy was a little anxious and she handled it very well. Very responsive anytime I asked for an update and sent pictures of peachy after she got settled in. Will definitely book again if I need these services again.”
“Rebecca was responsive and easy to communicate with. We got lots of updates and pictures which was amazing. Our dog came home exhausted. She must’ve played all week. Great experience.”
“Such an amazing experience!!! This was the first time leaving our dog with a sitter since we adopted her. She is pretty skittish and I was extremely worried dropping her off. She warmed up to Debin quickly which eased my anxiety! Debin sent updates and pictures throughout the duration of the stay. Thank you so much! I’m so happy I have someone I can trust with taking great care of my dog! ☺️”

About: What sets me apart is that I’m patient, reliable, and focused on making pets feel comfortable and cared for. I pay close attention to each pet’s routine and personality so they feel safe while their owner is away. I’m also comfortable caring for puppies who need extra attention and consistency, as well as senior pets who may need a calmer environment, medication reminders, or extra care. I am going to school to be a dental hygienist. Looking for a side job instead of something full time so I can focus more on school while still making money. I will be home a lot and I love having the company I care for pets by keeping them safe, comfortable, and on their normal routine. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I provide water, exercise, playtime, potty breaks, and lots of attention. I also follow any special instructions carefully and make sure pets feel loved and stress free while their owners are away.
“Sierra was fantastic! She provided excellent communication throughout and truly went above and beyond in caring for our dog. It was clear how much she genuinely cares, and we felt completely at ease knowing our pup was in such great hands. We’ll definitely be booking with her again in the future!”
About: I’ve taken care of and rehabbed many cats and kittens. My favorite one is Lola who we rescued at 2 days old and bottle fed for 7 weeks. She’s 9 years old now! My record for most cats & kittens at once is 18 so I’m known as the crazy cat lady in my family.
“Wonderful!! Kayla and Taylor LOVE animals. They were so amazing. Excellent communication and attention to detail. Great pics sent at every check in. Do not hesitate to book them. Will definitely use them again.”

We have a German shepherd that loves the extra play time!

About: I have three dogs, two wonderful twin golden retrievers that are 5 years old. They are my whole world and so are my sister and brother’s dogs/cats!

Additionally, I’ve been a volunteer at Unchained Melodies puppy nursery and KC Pet Project for the last few years <3 I’m currently a post-graduate student preparing for medical school here in a year so I have a lot of time for longer term pups. I’m preparing for work part-time as well in the fall but I have a very open and flexible schedule. I have helped dog sit for years now and of course I’ve taken care of my own dogs since they were just babies. Unfortunately, I’m unable, for the most part, to have animals stay at my house however, I’m open if necessary. I walk and feed my own dogs daily and they take a lot of space so I want them to feel comfortable in their own environment.

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

“Lindsay was very accomidating. She allowed us to bring Mate by 15 minutes early. SHe graciously allowed me to introduce my skittish dog to her dogs in the fenced backyard and then bring him inside. She took note of special directions and followed them. She sent several pictures, all indicating a happy dog. Obviously Mate enjoyed his time there. I hope to use Lindsay in the future.”
About: I have completed countless hours of training and grooming with dogs. I am certified with the American Red Cross to provide if needed Canine CPR. I am able to provide day care and boarding needs to pet parents. I have had countless hours in training on canine behaviors and temperaments. I will provide care for your pet while you are away. I will always treat them as if they are my own. We have a very large fenced yard for your pet to run in while you are away. If its cold outside we do have an area indoors.

For now I can accept small breed dogs for daycare and boarding in my home I have a fence yard, my place has a healthy environment and i make sure that my dogs stays clean all the time .

About: I have worked in veterinary Kennels and in shelters. I am also a certified Dog and Cat trainer through Animal Behavior College in 2013. I have been trained in animal first aide. I have a military I.D. so I can also care for military families as well! I come home on my lunch break to let the dogs run in the yard (we NEVER leave the dogs outside on their own for safety from hawks etc). The longest they are alone is 5 hours. Our live revolve around our own dogs so they will feel like one of the family in no time. We have a fenced .75 acre yard that we stay out with them for safety. Older pups will be carried on any stairs to prevent any falls. Kenneling is a part of our home for safety. But if we are home they are out. The dogs have their own room where they kennel that has safety film on the windows so they can benefit from the light but are not tormented by the squirrels in the trees. Cats are kept in their own area as well. I know how important your dog is and I will treat them the way I would want mine treated. With the exception of errands and taking kids to school I am home full time. We treat visitors as one of the pack. Often our visiting pups like to lounge on the couch when not supervised in the yard. I have a fenced yard and dogs are not left outside unattended (especially the little ones). We have a multi layered floor plan so if a dog needs to be alone for a bit we have the ability to do so.
About: I'm a work from home professional with flexible hours. I have a 3 bedroom house with a large fenced in yard for puppies to run and potty (freely). I've cared for/owned dogs for over 15 years and make sure they stick to their routine of potty breaks/feeding/treat time! I don't mind coming to ones home and caring for their pets while they are away on business or enjoying some free time! I understand last minute trips and can squeeze you into my schedule. Every family member I have + most friends have dogs so I'm very familiar with how to care for and entertain pets whom I am new to! I'm so excited this is an option for extra income and I hope to meet your pups soon!
“Robin was a fabulous host that was able to accommodate Lucy last minute. Lucy looked like she had an amazing time at Robin's house! Thank you Robin for providing Lucy a fun day!!!”
“Rae and Chris are wonderful with our girl, Pickles. She is a rescue and hadn't been exposed to other dogs in her former home. We really needed to socialize her because we often have guests with dogs at our home. We nervously decided to try day care. Rae and Chris shared their knowledge about dog behavior and reassured us that she would be fine. Within minutes of her first day we got a video of her playing with other dogs! It was amazing, and we feel so happy that we found Rae and Chris. Pickles has been there four times now ... and she LOVES going! We know she's in good hands!”
About: Born and raised around cats and dogs of all ages and breeds, I’ve developed a lifelong passion for animal care. From energetic puppies to senior pets needing extra attention, I’ve provided love, patience, and reliable care. My experience includes feeding, walking, administering medications, and ensuring pets feel safe and comfortable. I treat every pet as if they’re my own! As a stay-at-home mom with school-aged kids, my schedule is flexible, giving me plenty of availability to dedicate to pet care. Whether it’s morning walks, midday playtime, or evening cuddles, I can easily work pet care into my daily routine. While my kids are at school, I focus on caring for your pets, ensuring they get the love and attention they need. Being home throughout the day allows me to accommodate special requests, provide updates, and keep your pets happy and well-cared for. Safety and trust are my top priorities. As a pet owner of two dogs and one cat, I understand the importance of creating a secure, comfortable environment. My home features a fenced-in yard for safe outdoor play and crates if needed. I can also separate animals into different parts of the house to ensure everyone feels at ease. Your pets will receive attentive care in a loving, stress-free space tailored to their needs.
About: Dogs must be ok in a kennel. 😊 I have worked on some level in animal welfare my entire life. Since 2013, I own & operate a licensed rescue for dogs. This has given me the opportunity to work with dogs hands on that vary in personalities & behaviors. I can manage dogs with medical and behavioral challenges. This is hard to find. I currently work from home allowing be flexibility to care for your pup(s)! I look forward to helping ease your mind for you know your dogs are safe. I have a 6' fenced yard with no climb fencing secured on the inside of it. I would not leave your dog(s) unattended in the yard regardless. I have my own dogs and I would crate and rotate your dog if needed. I am able to pet sit most any dog but I will need to be crate trained. We do rotations in my home. If your pooch is not crate trained, it will not be able to stay. I have a 6’ privacy fence with no climb fencing installed. We have a great play group of dogs for this that are ready to play. If not, your pooch can do solo play time.
“I appreciate Alex's incredibly fast response time and acceptance of my last minute request and time changes. Midas seemed to have a fun day and I got pictures and a video!”
“Our dog took to Cristina, and it made me feel at ease the way Cristina interacted with our dog. She was personable, and my dog came home tired from her stay, which is a good thing for us. We would absolutely use Cristina again!”
“Murphy has been going to daycare with Rebecca for a couple of months and has had a great time. Rebecca is a great host and Murphy always comes home happy and tired. She’s the best!!”
About: I've been around and owned large dogs throughout my life, as well as other small and exotic pets. All guests will meet Gracie, our very friendly service-dog-in-training, who loves to make new friends! Every dog I've owned, I've done at least basic household obedience training with. I'm self-employed, work from home, and have a very flexible schedule. Please check the calendar for blocked dates. Gracie and I typically start our day at 8:00AM, but we can receive visitors as early as 7:00. We start the day with breakfast and yard time before the heat comes in. When it starts to cool off in the evening, Gracie and I walk a 3-mile loop from the house to a nearby wooded trail and back. We have plenty of super chewer toys and treats for larger dogs, and a large fenced in back yard with room to run! Depending on weather, the dogs would spend most of the time in the house during the day. All time in the back yard is supervised. Housebroken dogs are allowed on couches and to roam the house. We also have kennels upstairs and downstairs, if needed.
About: I've taken care of cats and dogs since I was 13. I'm 35. There's plenty of space in the house and a fenced in yard. I am currently staying home for the summer with my 4 year old son. We will be home full time! Let us help with your fur baby! I have a fenced in yard and a basement if the animal needs space. We will take the dogs out regularly. They will be safe and loved here.
About: With a lifelong passion for animals, I bring extensive experience caring for both dogs and cats. I currently train and compete with my field-line Labrador in hunt test trials, honing my skills in advanced obedience and behavior understanding. As a dedicated student of animal behavior and various training methodologies, I offer more than just pet sitting—I provide enrichment and tailored care to suit each pet's needs. Whether it's managing puppy energy, reinforcing existing training, or understanding complex behaviors- I ensure your pet is engaged, happy, and well cared for while you're away. I work from home M-F and have plenty of time for frequent monitoring, and the ability to give ample airing time and potty breaks. My schedule includes regular breaks outside and daily walks around our acre yard and/or our neighborhood lakes. We have about 21k sqft of back yard of which about 10k is fenced. I own an 18 month black lab that is very playful, yet very gentle with his furry friends and humans, as well as two cats that generally keep to themselves and out of the way. At night and when away from the home, our pup enjoys his quiet time in his kennel. Crate/Kennel trained dogs are preferred as to ensure their safety and security when direct monitoring is not feasible. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets, whether in my home or yours. I provide a secure, pet-friendly environment with plenty of supervision, ensuring they feel comfortable and at ease. I closely follow any routines, training, or specific instructions you provide, so your pet feels right at home. I maintain clean, safe spaces, free of hazards, and offer plenty of mental and physical stimulation to keep them happy and healthy. With my strong attention to detail and understanding of animal behavior, your pet is always in good hands.
About: I have many years of experience working with animals. I also have a BS in Rehabilitation Services Education. I am a foster for several rescues in the KC and Springfield area. I love all animals and will take great care of yours! I am available any time. Set up your date and times at least three days in advance, cancellations three days in advance as well. Thanks. I am able to provide care in your home overnight or during the day. Whatever your pet needs are, I will be there for them.
“I need flexibility with my insane work schedule. Kayla and her husband provided that for me and much more. The love my fur babies like their own. I recommend these two awesome people for puppy sitting anytime!”
About: I've been taking care of dogs and cats for 20+ years! Animals are typically very comfortable in my presence and warm to me quickly. I am comfortable with caretaking for senior pets (my cat that recently passed lived to 16 years old) and with the needs and training for new puppies. I am self-employed and create my own work schedule, so with a day or two notice, I can typically work your needs in! My job requires me to be out in the car often, so I am happy to stop in and check on your pets. Please note that in the evenings and weekends, my son may join me. He really enjoys helping. If your pet does not like children, just let me know in the booking request. I have a fenced in yard at home. At your home, I will take the utmost caution to make sure your fur babies are safe and comfortable and respect any guidelines you provide.
“We were in Kansas City for the weekend for a game and had Cindy watch our dog, Opie. She was so wonderful. He was well taken care of and completely spoiled with her. He was a very happy boy when we picked him up.”

About: I always insure that pets are comfortable! I’ve taken care of old cats and dogs, and I when they are old like that it’s important to meet their needs first, as most of the time they need a lot of guidance and help. I am currently going into online college, so most of my day is free! I often sit down and watch TV or play video games, but I mostly enjoy writing and drawing in my free time I personally like to ask owners how there pets are in the company of others, as well as if any weather bugs them! The comfort of my pets, and owners is always my number 1 priority! I want to make sure that they are comfortable around me, and I never approach any animal until I’ve let them sniff me, it’s important that they trust me to be around them.
About: Great with all types of dogs and have a fun, intuitive understanding of their care needs. Flexible and attentive, I’m happy to adapt to what your dog enjoys-whether it’s relaxing, going for a walk, or playing fetch.

About: I've either owned or taken care of cats and dogs my entire life. I love furry friends and I'd love to help you. I'm currently working a position remotely with some minor travel. Checking on your pet, playing with your pet, or walking. Your pet is easy to fit in my schedule. I have a shaded backyard and garden that animals love. They sit on the porch and sleep all day. My house is heated and cooled based on the time of year.
About: For the last 4 years my husband and I have had 4 dogs. He often travels, so I am usually caring for them alone. We have a husky, 2 pit-husky mixes, and a Belgium shepherd. I trained the Belgium shepherd from puppy age, and she’s now the sweetest and best guard dog out there! Our dogs can be stubborn at times, and I’ve even had to break up a couple of dog fights. I am able to handle difficult situations if your dog is a little tougher or not as friendly. I have always loved animals, especially dogs because of their loyalty and cuteness. From small dogs to large- I can care for them however you need and will treat them like they’re my own! I recently quit my job because we moved, so I have all the free time in the world! I can be flexible and stay with your pet to play longer if you need. Since we currently have 4 dogs we are not taking any pets to stay with us. However, we have a barn and hope to be able to house dogs there some day!
About: I have tons of pet care experience. I used to work in a daycare/ boarding facility. I have also cared for dogs in my home before. I am available every day of the week with flexible hours.

I will love your dog as much as you do and will treat them like my own. I am respectful and responsible with any of your personal needs or wants when it comes you and your four legged friends. Please let me care for your pet while you are gone and trust that I will take good care of them. I am home full time with the exception of personal outings and running errands. I will be able to let your pups out for potty breaks, go for walks and have plenty of time to play. I make sure that a leash is always attached before opening a door to take your dog for a walk unless fenced in. We currently don’t have a fence, but will hopefully soon. We have two friendly dogs.
About: I have been in the animal field since I was 16, completing a veterinary assistant program during high school. During Covid, I helped my aunt foster 3 rescue beagles as well as caring for her other two dogs. Since then, I have worked at multiple doggy daycare and boarding facilities and have pets of my own! I work 6am to 6pm every Tuesday-Friday so ideally, I’d need flexibility on drop-in visits for those days, but I have open availability on the weekends + Monday I am currently only providing drop-in visits which means your pet/s will stay in the comfort and safety of their own home. I always do meet n greets where the pet will be staying.

About: I am looking at getting a full time job when I can. For now, I would love to be doing this. I have had dogs all my life, so you learn how to take care of all sorts of breeds. I have also been able to take care of cats as well as horses. I currently am looking for a full time job, so I have open availability. Except Saturdays and Sundays.

Unfortunately, I’m unable, for the most part, to have animals stay at my house however, I’m open if necessary. I walk and feed my own dogs daily and they take a lot of space so I want them to feel comfortable in their own environment.
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

“Lindsay is always kind, helpful, and communicative. She went above and beyond for me when my dog had some complications from a biopsy so that I was still able to go home for the holidays. My dogs always enjoy being at her home”
“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!”
“Jessica was great. She made me feel very comfortable leaving our Bruno with her. She has experience with dogs and other dogs in the home. Having humans and other dogs around was a lifesaver since our dog likes a lot of companionship. Way better than a kennel. Would highly recommend to anyone else and would book again!”
“Bandit was so happy and calm when I picked him up. It was very clear he was comfortable and well taken care of! She took him on several walks and sent many pictures. He was a HAPPY BOY!!”
“Samantha provided a safe, clean and extra loving home to our dog while we were away! She was communicative, and sent updates and photos throughout the week. I can tell our pup was so loved and well cared for!! Thank you to you and your family!!”
“Jack loves Laura and her house. She is friendly and warm and Jack runs into her house to see his friends. I have appreciated using Laura’s services because she is kind and caring to my dog.. I continue to use her above others bc I always feel Jack is safe, loved and cared for!”
“We couldn’t have asked for better sitters for our first time leaving our pup. The care and attention given to our dog was absolutely amazing. It was so clear how much they genuinely loved him and treated him like their own. They even had a welcome sign with a menu and activities. It was adorable. We received thoughtful updates, pictures, and constant reassurance that he was happy and well cared for. Picking up a relaxed, content boy says everything. We are beyond grateful and would trust Kris & Eric again in a heartbeat. Highly, highly recommend! 🐾💕”
“Cristina was amazing! This was our first time using Rover so we didn’t know what to expect. Cristina made our three-legged fur baby feel right at home. I really appreciated the picture updates she would send us throughout the stay. Will definitely use again in the future!”
“Stephanie was great with Pippin. We were happy to get pictures while away and to know he had a fenced yard to enjoy the outdoors...his favorite! He even received a good brushing!”
“Sharon and Glen had me feeling so comfortable when caring for my sweet pup. They constantly gave me updates and photos. They have two sweet dogs that were very precious and kind. I would recommend hiring them!”
“She took wonderful care of our dog. Peachy was a little anxious and she handled it very well. Very responsive anytime I asked for an update and sent pictures of peachy after she got settled in. Will definitely book again if I need these services again.”
“Rebecca was responsive and easy to communicate with. We got lots of updates and pictures which was amazing. Our dog came home exhausted. She must’ve played all week. Great experience.”
“Such an amazing experience!!! This was the first time leaving our dog with a sitter since we adopted her. She is pretty skittish and I was extremely worried dropping her off. She warmed up to Debin quickly which eased my anxiety! Debin sent updates and pictures throughout the duration of the stay. Thank you so much! I’m so happy I have someone I can trust with taking great care of my dog! ☺️”
“Abbie took great care of the dogs. She was accommodating and easy to work with arranging drop off and pick up. I would trust her with your furry family members. They will come home happy and you will feel the same knowing they were well cared for during your trip.”
“Nina did an excellent job of caring for our older dog. He needs to take pills 2x/day and has an odd diet and she kept to the guidelines on all of his weirdness. I hope Nina is free when I need a Rover next time!”
“Robin was very understanding with our dog, Tabitha's needs - with her in mourning after the recent passing of our other dog, her closest companion and with us needing to be away from home for 8 days. Robin listened to all of the details of feeding and meds. Then she stayed in contact with us, updating us on Tabitha's adjustment to her new surroundings, sending great pics and playing the games she likes to play (FRISBE!) Robin was also VERY accomodating with our crazy flight schedules on drop off & pick up. Tabitha had such a good time she has returned to her joyful self! I highly reccomend Robin and she will be the first person we will reach out to the next time we need a dog sitter!”
“My puppy ended up giving her some troubles by going potty in her house. I offered to give her extra for the trouble as I didn’t expect him to do that. When I went to pick him up she said she would love to watch him again and they had fun with him. I will definitely be asking her again to watch my puppy when needed!”
