“Gus came home exhausted! He came home just as he was dropped off. Her kids hugged on Gus before we left which can only make me think they loved on him and treated him as their own. This was our first use of Rover and we will more than likely use it again. Gus hasn’t ever really been around other dogs and she allowed him to adjust and said he did great with them. Highly recommend and will use her again in the future.”

“Ashley took great care of my two dogs at her kennel. The only thing I would mention is that I had assumed she was watching them at her house when I booked her, but it was really where she is a groomer, so the dogs were kept in a kennel except during play & potty breaks. There were several other animals there. You could tell Ashley loves animals & they did great in her care.”

Baxter Springs, KS, 66713

About: We are Kate and Cameron, the proud parents of a pack of doodles living in Baxter Springs, Kansas. We would love to care for your doggo at our loving, urban dog ranch. Our house sits on a ¼ acre corner lot that is fully privacy-fenced. There is plenty of shade from mature oak trees to play under, a water trough to splash in, many toys, chickens to watch (fenced off for safety), and a dog door for full access to the house when they are ready for lounging. We live next to Kiwanis Park, which has a lovely 1.5 mile walking loop. Cameron is a long-distance runner, and can offer running sessions for our friends with higher energy needs. Kate grew up in a veterinarian's home and has logged over 100 hours training dogs for therapy in schools. We have robust knowledge of dog health and behavior and can ensure that when you return, you will find your dog safe, happy, and tired! Let us care for your dog as one of our pack! We look forward to chatting about details if this sounds like your kind of set-up. We have three dogs, so we are constantly feeding, walking, petting, or playing with somebody. I’d say pet care is the hobby we spend most of our time on. We have a privacy fenced in yard, for safety. We have a doggie door, for convenience. We are happy to have a feeding schedule, for a little peace of mind if it’s requested.

About: I have owned dogs before I could even read. I have always loved dogs and have cared for a large variety of dogs, whether that be age, size, gender, or breed. I have such a love for dogs, I’ve considered becoming a dog trainer ever since I was a child. I’m not currently working, so I’m very flexible with reservations. Just let me know ahead of time and I can be very flexible with you! I remain consistent in their daily routines, especially for potty breaks. I am a huge advocate for positive reinforcement training, so I will make sure the dogs are recognized for doing good.

“Stan did an exceptional job taking care of my cat. Binx can be difficult with new people but Stan took care of him like he was his own. I really appreciated the most that he came every day at almost exactly the same time. This cat is very much into things happening exactly when he expects them to happen. Thank you again, Stan. You did a wonderful job and I never worried one moment about him!!”

About: I’ve owned cats most of my life! I love them all their little personalities! Working at a vet hospital I’ve become familiar with how to handle them in stressful situations and reading their body language! I’ve also become very good at telling when something is off or even comforting them in stressful situations. Obviouslyyy play time is the best but cuddles & relaxing are just as important!

About: I've had dogs all my life. Shelties Schnauzers, Suberian Huskies, German Shepherds, Yorkies and now beagles. I deeply love them all. I worked several years as a veterinary technician for a large and small animal clinic in the 1980s until life took me in a different direction. I currently live on our small family farm. I have a fenced back yard for your baby to play in. And there is a lot going on to entertain them. I'm retired and home all day if I'm hosting your fur baby. I would love to meet your furry kids and help them have the best time either here or in your home. I'm retired and if your fur baby is staying with me, I'll be here with them the whole stay. If I'm dropping in for a play and potty session, I'll give them all of my attention and an enjoyable session. I have a fenced yard and 2 friendly beagles to play with your pup. I can crate if you like, or if they're house trained, they can have the run of the house with my beagles.

About: I love animals! I’ve had my dogs for five years and when I was growing up I was always around horses and dogs even cats! It’s my everyday duty to take care of three dogs! Every dog deserves love! I have a huge fenced in yard they get to run and play in! They are super well taken care of and have tons of toys. They will be loved and taken care of! It’s my everyday duty to take care of three adult dogs. I’m always trying to keep myself busy on my days off to watch your puppers & keep them safe. I love doing it in my free time.🤍🤍 I have a huge yard for them to run & play. Also keep an eye on them when they are outside. Plus they will have time to eat and rest after a day of playing.

About: Safety is my top priority when caring for your sweet pup. I love to go on walks and play fetch with dogs. I enjoy loving on dogs and ensuring they are well cared for. As I have a sweet pup of my own, I am only able to offer 30-min drop-ins or walk sessions. Each weekly schedule varies, but I am happy to help out where I can. You can count on me to care for your pup the way I care for mine! I work 3 12 hour shifts a week at the hospital which leaves 4 days a week for me to be able to help care for your pup. My pup has a big playpen that he stays in while I’m away at work. Inside his playpen he has a large puppy cabin that he treats as his house. My pup has all the chew toys he could ever want as well as a large stuffed animal to play with! My pup is provided with stimulating toys to keep his mind engaged throughout the day. We love to go on walks and play in the grass each day.

About: I’m a Mexican-American professional that works in Joplin, MO, but I frequent NWA area for leisure activities. I could help with basic training. Also willing to learn more training skills to help you at home. I’ve had multiple pets growing up including dogs, birds, hamsters, fish, and even hermit crabs over the years. I have a female cat of my own. Had her since she was a kitten, she was a stray and got her shots as soon as we were able too. I would greatly enjoy taking care of your pets! I know pets help reduce stress and anxiety and are very important companions for families big or small. I will do my best to treat your pets as if they were my own and give them all the love, respect, and care they deserve. I work part time in Joplin and am open about my work schedule and let you know when I would arrive at your house to care for your pet. If you agree with those times then I’ll book. I have an indoor/outdoor cat. I have a very big yard but it’s not fenced off. The neighborhood is quite and small. I have the option of walking them for long or short periods.

About: I’ve cared for animals my entire life and have owned and trained animals professionally for 7 years. I would love to take care of yours! I work from home on my farm, Longhorn Arena. Meaning I am with the animals 24/7. I ride and train horses professionally and run a rodeo arena. I live on property and have the perfect set up to care for your furry friends. I have 4 friendly dogs on property, and the set up to crate several dogs if necessary. The arena is set on 30 acres of pasture land. So they can sniff and explore to their hearts content, including running in the fenced arenas, as well as miles of walkable roads surrounding us. We are off a state highway so safety is my biggest priority.
