This was our first time leaving her with anyone outside of family and it was obvious from the photos that she was immediately comfortable and happy at Kathleen’s home. Would definitely use her again a d recommend her to anyone who is in need of boarding and may be a little hesitant. She has a very gentle soul that dogs resinate with.”

“They were great with our unpotty trained puppy. They helped quite a bit and we are trying to rebook them again for another weekend trip a few weeks out. We hope to have our puppy on a better potty schedule by then and have no doubt that Daine and Ashley will keep up the routine. They are great.”

About: I’ve been around cats for many years and have experience caring for them through every stage of life, from young kittens to senior cats. I currently have an adult cat and a kitten, Sunnie, and I’m familiar with kitten care, feeding schedules, nail trims, litter box maintenance, playtime, and helping cats feel comfortable in their environment. I’ve also cared for cats with medical needs, including administering medications and monitoring their health, so I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and paying attention to the little details. In addition to caring for my own cats, I have taken care of many friends kitties while they’re away. I truly love getting to know each cat’s unique personality and always strive to make them feel safe, relaxed, and loved while their owners are away. I understand that every cat is different and I always respect boundaries.
“Watched my two cats for three days while I was on vacation. They’re usually pretty shy with new people but they loved her! Will definitely be asking her to watch them again in the future.”
“Kathleen went above and beyond to make sure she gave my cat his injections. He was difficult but she was a trooper and got the job done. I very much appreciate all her hard work. I would highly recommend her.”

“This is like a second home for Zion. He's receiving the attention from Kathleen, her dogs and the freedom to run and play in her home, as well as her fenced in back yard which we don't have at our home. We're hoping to extend Zion's one-day stay to many overnight stays that will help fit our traveling and working schedule.”
“My two small Chihuahua mixes absolutely love their time at Mike and Sharon's! We use them mainly for daycare and they usually always have a couple small puppy friends there, so they are exhausted and sleep all night when they get home! We have used them for boarding too and have nothing but praise. If you need a sitter or lower stimulation doggy daycare, Sharon's your girl!”

About: I had a dog a few years ago when I was young but unfortunately we had to let him go. My love for animals has always been strong and over the years I have regularly cared for friends’ and family’s dogs during that time, including both energetic puppies and gentle senior dogs. While I have limited experience with cats, I’m open to caring for them and excited to learn more if given the opportunity. I work a part-time job and work only 2-3 days a week so I have a pretty flexible schedule. Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine, so I can accommodate a variety of needs, including extended stays or last-minute bookings. I live in a pet-friendly neighborhood with a big fenced yard. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I absolutely love animals and will make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and has a sweet, stress-free time while in my care.
“Aside from being great with our dogs, I have to compliment Grant on his communication. He responded to all of my messages promptly and professionally and kept me in the loop during my 2 dogs stay.

About: Moonbabies Little Lodge offers boutique home boarding designed especially for small dogs who enjoy a calm household environment. Your dog will stay in a cozy home setting with a small resident pack of friendly toy-breed dogs and plenty of supervised outdoor playtime in our secure backyard play yard. Our yard features enrichment areas just for small dogs, including ramps, tunnels, lounging spots, and shaded cabana areas where pups can relax between play sessions. In warm weather we even bring out a splash pad for dogs who enjoy cooling off. Inside the home, dogs are part of the family during the day and sleep comfortably in their own individual night pens with beds and toys for a peaceful evening routine.

Moonbabies Little Lodge is designed specifically for friendly small dogs. Dogs enjoy supervised play in a secure fenced backyard and are introduced gradually to maintain a calm group dynamic. Guest dogs are monitored closely and separated if needed for rest, meals, or quiet time. Overnight, dogs sleep safely in cozy individual pens with their own bedding, food, and water.

About: I have a genuine love for animals and take great pride in providing reliable, caring pet-sitting services. Having grown up on a farm, I gained hands-on experience with a wide range of animals, from household pets to livestock. This background has taught me responsibility, patience, and how to care for animals of all kinds. I treat every pet as if it were my own, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I attend school online, which gives me a very flexible schedule. This allows me to travel for pet-sitting jobs and even stay overnight when needed, as long as there’s Wi-Fi so I can keep up with my classes. Since I’m currently applying for more jobs, my availability is open and adaptable, making it easy for me to provide consistent, reliable care for pets whenever I’m needed. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I make sure to follow their usual routines as closely as possible so the pets feel comfortable and secure. I provide regular feeding, fresh water, playtime, and plenty of affection. I also take time to clean up after them, whether that’s refreshing litter boxes, wiping paws, or tidying up their spaces. If I’m staying overnight, I make sure the home stays neat and the pets get extra attention and companionship. My goal is always to create a safe, calm, and loving environment while keeping the owner’s home just as they left it.

About: I’m comfortable caring for both dogs and cats who need a little extra attention.

I understand that every pet has different needs, whether that’s caring for a playful kitten, giving extra patience to a shy cat, or keeping an active dog on their normal routine. I’m attentive, dependable, and committed to following your pet’s care instructions so they receive the same love, patience, and quality of care they’re used to while you’re away. I’m committed to being as flexible as possible for you and your pets. My schedule allows me to be available seven days a week, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, weekends, and holidays.

“Ashley is great! Our dog, Arlo, is a 75lb, 8 month old puppy and while he is the goofiest, most loving guy...he can also be a pain in the butt sometimes. Ashley handled Arlo (and our home) with great care. She is reliable and has great communication. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone needing a trustworthy and loving dog walker!”
“Kathleen was great in taking care of our two somewhat needy pups. She took them for a nice long walk and was very quick and frequent in communication. I will come back to Kathleen for future walks!”

About: Pets have been a part of my life my whole life. I've owned everything from dogs, cats, rodents, fish, and ferrets. In high school I spent all my extra time volunteering at Kansas City Ferret Rescue. We even ran some of the shelter out of our house for a while. Currently I own 2 pit bulls and boy do I love my bully breeds. I have Marvel who is 11 and hes my gentle giant. We adopted his mother and had her her whole life and kept him from a litter of puppies she had. We've been together since birth. I also have Alice and she is getting ready to turn 5, we adopted her at 8 weeks old from a neighbor. She's super energetic. I have LOTS of training in taking care of puppies. I also own a 13 year old black Maine coon cat. I adopted him from wayside waifs when he was a tiny 8 week old kitten. My pets are very loved and yours will be also! We will have lots of fun playing with toys, going on walks and all the belly rubs. I am currently a stay at home mom so I have plenty of time to spend with your babies while your away. There will be no hurry in my visits. I currently walk my dogs everyday. They are fed twice a day, morning and evening. We also play ball and Frisbee in our backyard. I will try to keep your pets schedule as close as I can to their current schedule with you.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats for 5 years. I’m experienced with pets of all kinds. Newborn and elderly pets, healthy and sick pets, small and large pets. I’m used to dogs who are untrained and can handle pets on the wild side. I’m a full time student at UMKC, and have classes two days a week. The longest stretch of time the pets would be alone would be about three to four hours. My schedule is flexible other than my class times, and can accommodate your pets needs. My services offer taking care of your pets in their homes, so they feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away. I can fit my schedule around your pet, letting them stick to their normal routines.
About: Taking care of people’s pets is my passion, and I have over fifteen years experience caring for them as a vet technician, animal care technician at several different boarding facilities, and as an animal shelter volunteer. I provide attentive, professional care with a genuine love for every dog I meet. I don’t just “watch” pets—I learn their routines, personalities, and needs so they feel safe, relaxed, and at home. Over the course of my professional career I have worked with every type of breed and personality under the sun, from high-energy puppies to scared of their own shadow rescues to “just want a nice quiet place to lay down” senior dogs, I’m confident in reading behavior, maintaining structure, and responding calmly in any situation. I have yet to encounter a pet who hasn’t warmed up to me within a few hours, or wasn’t excited to come back to stay again. Pets under my care are treated with patience, affection, and respect—like family, not a booking! Unlike traditional boarding, I do not use kennels, unless they are necessary and that is communicated to me by the owner because of potty training and/or destructive behaviors. I have got dog beds for every shape and size, although most are more comfortable on the coach with me or in my bed at night. And, of course, there is no extra charge for playtime or extra treats! My family are all pet lovers here as well, so my husband and kids love having extra dogs around to spoil with treats, walks around our subdivision up to the pond, couch snuggles, and endless playtime in our large fenced in backyard. I never watch more than four at a time, to make sure every one of them gets plenty of attention. I am currently working on obtaining my Masters degree, primarily online, so I am home with the pets I “board” the majority of the day. I currently work from home 20 hours a week medical billing and coding and doing online program for my masters. My schedule is very flexible and I am at home pretty much 24/7. I have a fenced in large yard in a quiet neighborhood, so I walk dogs I watch/my dogs 1-2 times a day and let out any elderly dogs I am currently watching through the front door to avoid the deck steps. I feed my dogs twice a day, they drink filtered water and get denta sticks each day. I always bring dog treats on walks so reinforce good behavior. We consider our pets people here, so getting on furniture is allowed as well, unless the owner says to discourage. I do not kennel dogs unless owner provides kennel and instructs me to use it for crate training/destructive behaviors.

About: I’ve taken care of/had pets since I was kid. I currently have a Husky, pomsky and a cat, they are my world ❤️ I will always have fur babies! I am a stay at home mom to 1 and I also dogsit as well as babysit throughout the week. I’m always open to adding more fur friends :) I will love and care for your babies just like they are my own!

“This was my first weekend with Deret, and she couldn't have been better!! She communicated everything and I'm excited to have her on board!! Thank you Deret! I will continue to book her for all of my needs!!”
About: I’m extremely patient and caring with each dog or other pets I take care of. I’ve helped friends & family over the years with their own! Pets are an important part of the family and should be treated as such. I work part time currently so my schedule is very flexible and negotiable to spend time with your pets. I make sure to prioritize care so you can rest assured your pups are getting all the love and care they need! I always talk with whoever pets I’m taking care of about their routines at home and what is the environment their most comfortable with. Even with fenced in yards I’ll stand outside and make sure everything is ok while also giving dogs company.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was just 7 years old. My passion is caring for others. I know how to work with dogs with emotional and behavioral issues. I know how to handle dogs even big dogs that pull on the leash. I can help keep training consistent. I run a home daycare and help care for my mom and homeschool my autistic 16 yo son. So I have a lot of time, room and love to give your doggies. I do have a dog and 2 cats of my own that don't get along so I have to switch out their living room social time and will ensure your animals has some social time as well. I am able to care for 3 more dogs at a time. I have a large basement with an unfinished room that I put a baby gate up for the door and I have 2 kennels. If I have 3 dogs at once I will rotate the dogs out to make sure that one does not have to stay in a kennel too long. I will ensure your doggy always has food and water available and frequent bathroom breaks with plenty of love and social time. I have a semi big yard with a 20 foot tie down lead to ensure your dog has enough room to run around but won't get away. I also have a small plastic kiddie pool I fill up for the doggies to get in and enjoy!
