“Simply put the best family to take great care of your pet! :) They communicate well, are very flexible and love on our Zeke like he is one of their own! So grateful for them!”
“This is the second time we utilized her boarding services and my dogs had an even better time this go around. She still has excellent communication during the entire stay and sends pictures. She was flexible when my plans changed unexpectedly and she was able to extend their stay by a day without a problem. We will definitely use her again without hesitation!”
“She always takes good care of our Saint. He is a husky border collie puppy so I know he can be a handful and he comes home every time exhausted!! He loves it over there and I couldn't ask for more.”
“Stevie is a gem. Our little Romie was very well taken care of. We loved the daily updates, and photos. We are not sure if we can now live up to what our Romie experienced at Stevie's house. While at Stevies our 3 months old Romie learned how to negotiate stairs. We highly recommend her.”
“Great communication, one of my dogs is quirky and she was very patient with him. She has a beautiful large fenced in yard for animals to run around and play. They had a wonderful time staying the week.”
“Damonte was fantastic. Sent photos and videos of our little Ace. It’s comforting to know someone can take care of your furry friend like you would. Definitely recommend.”
“Chloé took amazing care of our pup. She was quick in communicating and sent us lots of photos and updates!! I would rebook Chloé in a heartbeat and I trust her completely with our dog.”
“Kristy was fantastic! She was very communicative and sent pictures and updates of how my dog Scout was doing and treated him like he was her own! Would definitely book with her again.”
“Alaniz is very sweet and takes great care of my dog! It’s a peace of mind to find great loving care while we are away. My dog gets extremely excited every time he sees Alaniz 💕Awesome care!”
“Daisy had a great time staying with Brittany, Max and their family. It’s obvious they love dogs and know how to welcome new pets to their home. Loved getting pics everyday too. Much thanks!”
“Daine & Ashley went above and beyond when they had my 11 month old pup! I got picture updates frequently and he had a blast playing in their yard and with their two adorable dogs!! Thank you SO much!! I would recommend 100%!!”
“Upon the first conversation and meeting, she made us feel comfortable and we knew our fur baby would be safe and well cared for. Being out of the country for 3 weeks, we needed no worries and Saige delivered! When we picked up Mali, she looked happy and loved. We will definitely be using her again. Thank you!”
“Shawn is the BEST! Our dog is older and she can be a bit stand off-ish but he took amazing care of her! He provided great updates, photos, and asked questions proactively whenever he wasn’t sure about something. It says a lot when your dog comes home happy as can be and acts like she never went anywhere. We will definitely rebook with him anytime we go out of town! 5 stars!!!”
“Derrika is the GREATEST! I am so happy I found her. She and her family are so nice and their love of animals is very apparent. I loved the pics she sent throughout the day. Within the first few hours of my Yogis first visit she sent me a pic of my doggo with his head in her sons lap. He only does this when he is EXTREMELY comfortable. Knowing Yogi is in excellent hands helps both his & my separation anxiety when we can’t be together. She is a true gem”
“This was our first time using Rover and Griffin made the experience (from pre-booking to pick up) an absolute breeze - he made us feel so comfortable, put our mind's at ease, and had great communication. He proactively sent frequent video, photo, and text updates of our puppy and was very responsive when we checked in! I love that he has a dog of his own and they both became fast friends. We will 100% rebook with Griffin and will recommend him to anyone needing services!”
“Los mejores cuidadores para mi doki. Son una familia HERMOSA y todos son amantes de los animales. Es la primera vez que dejo a mi doki con una persona en estados unidos y ha sido la mejor experiencia. Fue una petición bastante express y hubo receptividad inmediata. Maggie(su perrita amiga) le prestó su cama a mi pequeño. Los recomiendo, habrá muchas opciones pero esta familia ES LA OPCIÓN que debes de escoger siempre. Muchas fotos me enviaron y todo su alimento y medicina fue dado exactamente como se pidió. Gracias Cassie,Ben, familia entera y también a Maggie, la mejor anfitriona. Los vemos pronto, Dios me los bendiga siempre.”
“Erin and her family were absolutely wonderful with our Frenchie, Roxy. Erin kept us updated with sweet photos and messages, and it was clear that Roxy felt right at home. She came home happy, relaxed and clearly cared for. We’re so grateful to have found such a kind and responsible sitter, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book with Erin again. Highly recommend!”

Thank you so much~!!”

I have a fenced in yard and have experience with crated and non-crated situations. The physical and emotional wellbeing of your pet is of the utmost importance.
“Amazing and caring sitter! I hired Kate to check on my senior cat 2x a day while we were out of town. She administered medication, changed the litter box, fed and watered, checked our mail, and watered our plant. When our flights got delayed, she was able to come to additional last minute drop in. We will definitely book again!”
About: I've grew up with cats when I was a kid, and currently have one male tabby! I have pet sit cats before and scoop boxes on a regular basis (1-2 times a day) and check food and water consistently. I love cats and absolutely love to play with them, but also know how timid some can be to new people and can fully respect their space! I will love your cats like they are my own babies and make sure they are well loved and comfortable while you're gone :)
“Jacqueline was great. She sent plenty of pictures and updates, and her kids gave my cat plenty of attention. Her rates her very reasonable, will definitely contact when I need a pet sitter again!”
About: I’ve grown up around both dogs and cats, so being around animals has always been a big part of my life. My grandma has always had lots of cats, so I’m very comfortable around different cat personalities and understand that they often need patience, gentleness, and their own space. While I may not have extensive professional experience caring for cats, I’m very attentive, caring, and genuinely love spending time with animals. I always make it a priority to help pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away.
About: I've had 4 years of experience taking care of my cats and I've learned a lot of their behaviors. You usually need to be more cautious and low-energy with cats to gain their trust, and I am determined to make your cats(s) like me.

Pumpkin is quite the explorer! He loves romping through the house and discovering new treats! Bella and pumpkin are both rescues and now spend their days lounging around he house together. I look forward to meeting your furry kiddos and sharing in their special moments! I only work in the afternoons during the week, so I spend quite a bit of my time taking my dog on walks are exploring new trails. I have worked as a vet assistant for the last three years, so I have had plenty of experiences working with high energy or nervous dogs and creating and environment where they can thrive!
About: While I don't have formal experience, I've spent my whole life taking care of pets at home. I've even raised our current pups from puppies to adulthood, handling everything from feeding to playtime. My goal is to treat every pet like part of the family.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Grain Valley
“Dash has been going to Kathleen for a week now & he loves her! She is very responsive, and very sweet. She sends me pics throughout the day, and I love that she takes him out for walks and play time. We will continue to book with her 😊”
“My babies absolutely love going to doggy daycare at Sharon and Mike's! They always come home exhausted and happy. If you have small dogs, do yourself (and your pocketbook) a favor and use Sharon for daycare and boarding instead of an expensive pet resort or vet!”
“Jaqueline was very nice and welcoming to us. We had no worries at all leaving Pepsi at her home. She also sent cute pictures for us that we greatly appreciated. We would definitely use her again.”
“Got it! Here's the updated version: It was our dog's first time staying in another place, and he's usually a bit anxious. But he had a really good time with Stevie and came back tired and happy. We're very grateful!”

About: I have had a dog in my life since I can ever remember. I’ve been through the good, the bad, and the ugly. My happiness comes from coming home, and getting to be with my furry friend.

Truly my best friend, and I cant wait to make many more little best friends!! I am a teacher, so I am currently on summer break. I am typically home all hours of the day, unless I have a few errands to run or go spend time with friends. I am caring for and playing with my dog at all times, and hope to care for and play with yours too! My house has a fenced in backyard- but I make sure to always keep an eye on him when he is outback. My dog has been trained to not run away when we are out front of our house. He will chase after other people out of excitement, so if people are seen in the distance walking towards we will put him inside so he can enjoy from the window:) I feed him twice a day and give him plenty exercise! We go on walks and run around out back. His favorite toy is his frisbee!

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Grain Valley
About: I've been pet sitting for about three years now, petsitting many different breeds such as Danes, Australian Shepards, Labs, Golden Retrievers, Huskies, and German Shepards. I love big dogs and grew up constantly around Great Danes and Mastiffs. I've also raised three puppies over the years and been involved in basic care, walking, playing, and potty training. Animals are my whole life and I'm getting certified in dog grooming starting in August, so I'm available for a large amount of time over the summer! Currently, I'm looking to pet sit full time! I am available on almost any day of the week (and weekend!) and can come at any time needed during this summer. I will always make sure your fur babies are fed, have water at all times, get any specific meds (if needed), are played with as much as possible, and are plenty loved! I will treat your animals as if they were my own, making sure they are consistently happy and healthy. I also strive to make your return back home as stress-free as possible and often vacuum, wipe down surfaces, and tidy up before leaving!
“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!”
“Hailey was excellent, we booked her to walk our dog on very short notice. She was very responsive and extremely kind to our dog. I would 100% recommend Hailey to anyone looking for a pet sitter or dog walker!”
About: I have always loved dogs growing up and playing with them brings me a sense of joy. I have dogs of my own and I always make sure that they are loved and cared for I currently work as a receptionist part time, so I’m free anytime to love, play, and take care of your pets whenever it’s necessary for you! At my home we have an electric fence, but we also have leashes for our dogs and others friends incase we have company over there
“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!”
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.
“Tiffany is AMAZING!! Mater looked for here every day for his walk and to chill on the couch with her. She is always available and communicates really well!! She takes pictures and leaves treats even! She treats our Mater like her own pup. Couldn’t ask for a better pet walker!!!!”
“Heidi was so fantastic! After I had surgery I needed a lot of help with my Shih Tzu and she was there at a moment's notice for any and every need Spanky and I had. I could tell she really cared about him and was very gentle with him. I would highly recommend her!”
“We did a meet and greet first, and Katie was very professional, asked all the right questions and very sweet. My puppy LOVES her, butt one of my older dogs was scared, so she offered to walk her with her brother at the same time and they did great! Very happy with Katie, and already booked another appointment.”

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 have over two years of experience working in a dog boarding facility, where I developed strong skills in animal care, supervision, and handling dogs of all temperaments. I am currently pursuing my Veterinary Technician degree, further expanding my knowledge and passion for animal care. In addition, I have provided trusted house and dog sitting services through personal recommendations and referrals. I genuinely love working with dogs and plan to dedicate my career to caring for and improving the lives of animals. A dog fits well into my weekly routine because I have a flexible and consistent schedule that allows me to dedicate time to feeding, walks, playtime, exercise, and companionship. I enjoy being around animals and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. Incorporating a dog into my routine feels natural, and I’m able to provide them with the attention and structure they need throughout the week. I provide attentive, reliable, and compassionate care for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. While dog sitting, I make sure pets maintain their normal routines, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication administration if needed, and plenty of attention and affection. I prioritize each dog’s safety, comfort, and well-being, and I always keep owners updated with photos and communication for peace of mind. My goal is to create a calm, caring environment where dogs feel happy and secure while their owners are away.
About: Having lifelong experience around both dogs and cats has helped me become very comfortable caring for animals of all sizes and personalities. I’ve grown up around both dogs and cats and have been responsible for feeding, walking, playing with, and caring for them whenever my parents were away. I’ve had both small and large dogs so I understand that every pet has different needs and energy levels. I’m very patient, attentive, and genuinely love spending time with animals. Over the years, I’ve learned how to read dogs’ body language and recognize when they need space, comfort, playtime, or extra attention. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, cared for, and loved while their owners are away, and I will treat every animal like they are my own. As a college student majoring in Exercise Science who is home for the summer, pet care fits really naturally into my daily routine! I have a very flexible schedule and lots of availability to dedicate time, attention, walks, playtime, and care to your pets. Tuesdays through Thursdays I’m unavailable between 12–6 PM, but I’m still available mornings and evenings on those days. Overall, I’m able to be very flexible and spend plenty of quality time with your pups while making sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and loved. I’m very attentive when caring for pets, and my main goal is to make them feel loved, comfortable, and cared for while their humans are away. I know what it’s like to have velcro dogs who get anxious when their people leave, so I always try to give pets extra attention, patience, playtime, and affection so they feel safe and not alone. I have 4 dogs of my own, so I’m very used to busy and sometimes chaotic environments, and I’m comfortable handling different personalities and energy levels. I’ll always treat your pets like they’re my own and do my best to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible!

Then I would go to work till 12:30/1:30, go back to your house and repeat the morning routine unless your pet does not eat again in the afternoon, play and cuddle as much as your pet wants. If your pet sleeps with you, they are more than welcome to sleep with me too.

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've had 3 dogs and 6 cats since I was a child, and I've taken care of family friend's pets before overnight and for scheduled walks. I am still searching for a part-time job and it is summer break for my college, so I have pleanty of free time for pet care. I try to give their pet a much space as possible as they get used to me. And I'll pay attention to any scheduled feedings and any other traditions clients have to make the pets feel safe, happy, and loved.

“Simply put the best family to take great care of your pet! :) They communicate well, are very flexible and love on our Zeke like he is one of their own! So grateful for them!”
“This is the second time we utilized her boarding services and my dogs had an even better time this go around. She still has excellent communication during the entire stay and sends pictures. She was flexible when my plans changed unexpectedly and she was able to extend their stay by a day without a problem. We will definitely use her again without hesitation!”
“She always takes good care of our Saint. He is a husky border collie puppy so I know he can be a handful and he comes home every time exhausted!! He loves it over there and I couldn't ask for more.”
“Stevie is a gem. Our little Romie was very well taken care of. We loved the daily updates, and photos. We are not sure if we can now live up to what our Romie experienced at Stevie's house. While at Stevies our 3 months old Romie learned how to negotiate stairs. We highly recommend her.”
“Chloé took amazing care of our pup. She was quick in communicating and sent us lots of photos and updates!! I would rebook Chloé in a heartbeat and I trust her completely with our dog.”
“Kristy was fantastic! She was very communicative and sent pictures and updates of how my dog Scout was doing and treated him like he was her own! Would definitely book with her again.”
“Upon the first conversation and meeting, she made us feel comfortable and we knew our fur baby would be safe and well cared for. Being out of the country for 3 weeks, we needed no worries and Saige delivered! When we picked up Mali, she looked happy and loved. We will definitely be using her again. Thank you!”
“Shawn is the BEST! Our dog is older and she can be a bit stand off-ish but he took amazing care of her! He provided great updates, photos, and asked questions proactively whenever he wasn’t sure about something. It says a lot when your dog comes home happy as can be and acts like she never went anywhere. We will definitely rebook with him anytime we go out of town! 5 stars!!!”
“Los mejores cuidadores para mi doki. Son una familia HERMOSA y todos son amantes de los animales. Es la primera vez que dejo a mi doki con una persona en estados unidos y ha sido la mejor experiencia. Fue una petición bastante express y hubo receptividad inmediata. Maggie(su perrita amiga) le prestó su cama a mi pequeño. Los recomiendo, habrá muchas opciones pero esta familia ES LA OPCIÓN que debes de escoger siempre. Muchas fotos me enviaron y todo su alimento y medicina fue dado exactamente como se pidió. Gracias Cassie,Ben, familia entera y también a Maggie, la mejor anfitriona. Los vemos pronto, Dios me los bendiga siempre.”
“Erin and her family were absolutely wonderful with our Frenchie, Roxy. Erin kept us updated with sweet photos and messages, and it was clear that Roxy felt right at home. She came home happy, relaxed and clearly cared for. We’re so grateful to have found such a kind and responsible sitter, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book with Erin again. Highly recommend!”
“Ashley D was amazing for Bentley. A no kennel option was the only way for us and Bentley slept peacefully in a home with other playmates and a great dog sitter. This was the first time I had used Rover and despite user error on my part, Ashley was so kind and patient with me learning the platform!”
About: I have taken care of pets since I was 10 years old, including family pet care, professional pet care and personal pet care. I am experienced in dog walking, dog boarding, in home pet sitting and diabetic pets/sick pets. I have reliable transportation and am available at all times to give your pet the care they need! I am committed to being available at all times including weekends and evenings. Caring for animals is something I genuinely love, so it doesn’t feel like a task, it’s something I intentionally build into my schedule to make sure pets are happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I care for pets as if they were my own. I pay close attention to their individual routines, personalities, and needs, whether they’re in my home or a client’s home. This includes making sure they’re fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of exercise, and receive lots of affection and attention. I love animals, so I genuinely enjoy spending time with them, playing, going for walks, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I also keep a close eye on their behavior and health, and I follow any specific instructions the owner provides to ensure their pet feels happy and well cared for while they’re away. As a diabetic dog owner myself I am committed to giving your pet the best care I can!
“Olga took such great care of our puppy. I was nervous to leave her because she was still so young but Olga was willing to care for her and even worked with her on some basic training skills as well. She was very responsive to communication and sent me lots of pictures and updates. She is very knowledgeable of dogs and provides a safe and caring place for them. We’d definitely leave our puppy with her again. I highly recommend her.”
“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.”
“They did an amazing job with Nymeria. She was slow to warm up at first, but they kept me updated and reassured me that she was starting to come out of her shell and get comfortable. The communication they provided was very much appreciated and made me feel so much more comfortable knowing she was in a safe and loving environment. She is back home and sleeping soundly now, and I know she had a great time and received plenty of care and attention. It was such a relief knowing she was in good hands and not sitting in a cold kennel without much human interaction. I truly appreciated the care, patience, and communication throughout her stay. I will absolutely be using their services again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for their pets.”
“Taylor was great! She made her home super comfy for our two dogs; one of which tends to be very anxious. Taylor put her at ease, which allowed us to enjoy our vacation, knowing our pups were being well loved.”
“Shannon was great! We got multiple pictures and updates through the weekends. She has a great, dog friendly home, even for our 12 year old lab. We will definitely use her again.”
