Personalized care for your dog or cat - Hume

“Meghan was very accommodating with my senior special needs dog. He needed the comfort of someone's home. Her children were an added bonus because he loves kids. We don't travel often so being able to find a place Woody felt comfortable as well as myself helped relieve the anxiety of traveling. Our drop off and pick up time needed to be flexible and Meghan was very available via text to and work with those times on the fly. If we have to travel again I will feel comfortable leaving Woody with her.”

“Nala probably felt like she was being dropped off at a five star resort haha she loves a good farm. Kaitie was very communicative & flexible with pick up. Would definitely book again.”

“Hands down best ever! I was so nervous, as this is the first time I was boarding my dog at all and it was for about 8 days. Literally could not have ask for someone to handle him so well! He even got grumpy with her dog and she didn’t blink and eye, she controlled the situation and was able to reconnect them in a later setting. I’m so so happy she took such great care of my puppy. I highly recommend her!”

About: I have had pets my whole life up! I'm a full time stay at home mom with 3 kiddos (2 in school and 1 not in school cause shes a baby!) I am looking to earn a little pocket change while hopefully helping someone out with their fur babies. Most times I will have to come with my baby in her carrier for now, but certain times I may be able to work around that, so please dont hesitate to ask! I am willing to travel as far as Kansas City/Overland Park, Pittsburg, and Joplin/Springfield, or basically within an hour and half for house sitting. As a mom I am not able to stay in your home for house sitting, I could consider pet care inside my home on a case-by-case basis. For daily walks, we will have to agree on a price if its farther than Nevada, El Dorado Springs. I live on a few acres with cats, a dog, chickens, and ducks. I have experience with a lot of different types of animals as well including fish and smaller caged critters. I have experience working with service dogs as well. If you have any questions, please reach out! Im super flexible and would love to be able to help you any way that I can. I am a stay at home mom with 2 of 3 kiddos in school. My schedule is very open. Whatever work you're needing with your animals, please reach out. Animal care in my home will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Animal care in your home will be as requested by you. I typically could not do overnight care as I've got kiddos in school and will most likely have to travel a bit to help you with your animals, but on weekends or breaks I can consider it.

“Justin was great. Between the cats and the dogs and all the nuances of each pet, Justin managed it like a champ. Our cats were not very cooperative, you know, like cats can be. Justin provided us daily updates and pics. He was also super responsive to the many texts I kept sending. He was also kind enough to grab out mail/packages, too. I would definitely recommend Justin if you’re looking for someone to care for your pets.”

“Wow wow wow, I cannot say enough great things about Kaylee!!! We asked her to house sit for a very big trip, and I knew we were asking a lot, but she truly delivered and was everything we could want in a cat and house sitter, and more!! She sent us text, photo, and video updates along the way, and was great at communicating with us. She was extremely patient with our shy cat, and also with our very sassy little cat! In the end, she ended up befriending the little one and gaining her trust, which was so sweet! She also left our house in immaculate condition, which was impressive given how long she stayed. We will definitely be using her services again, and would highly recommend her to anyone!”

About: I’ve lived with cats my whole life and totally get their moods, quirks, and need for both space and love. I’m super patient and gentle, and I always try to bond with each cat in their own way, whether that means playtime, quiet company, or just making sure they feel safe. I’m comfortable with senior cats, kittens, giving medications, and yes… I don’t mind cleaning litter boxes either! I really enjoy making cats feel at home even when their people are away.

About: I love dogs, they are phenomenal and loving, it just seemed to fit that the understanding of dog behavior was the next step. I've been caring for dogs in my neighborhood and advising pup parents on their dog behavior and offering insight for years. I have three beautiful dogs that are all off leash trained and positive behavior trained. Our fur friends are not pets they are companions. I can't wait to meet your companion! Working on opening a non profit for abandoned dogs currently. Let me help you and your fur pets make those memories by making things a little bit easier while your not, at home. Let's talk about what you need. What are you waiting for? Let's discuss what you need, thanks for your consideration. The schedule is fairly flexible obviously preplanning is important to all involved, especially our pups. Let's discuss what you need to see what we can come up with. We have play time outside and inside. That includes mental stimulation with toys, tricks and treats. Meal time and rest time either indoor or out door up to the dogs preference.

“Kaylee was very responsive to my messages and very accommodating of my request to schedule a meet and greet on short notice ahead of our booking. She interacted sweetly and patiently with my very excited pup. She showed up on time for the booking and followed all instructions given. I hope to be able to call on her for help again in the future!”

About: I worked at Summit Pet Care for four years. I worked in the daycare, front desk, and kennels department. I have made valuable relationships with several clients. For those clients I have pet sat for them while they have been out of town. I have also walked many of their pups during a busy for them. I work Monday, Wednesday, and Friday and the rest of the week make time to exercise my own dog. Along with getting online classes done for UCM.. I care for my pets by always getting them with a clam but happy energy. First thing I always do with any pup is take them outside making sure there are no accidents in the home. If I am just meeting the pup I always allow them time to get used to me and make sure I am a loving person.

About: I’ve taken care of various dogs, knowledge with animal behavior, reliable, patient, provide regular updates to assure the owner that their pet is fine. Follow instructions to ensure the pet is comfortable. I’m available on Saturday from 9am-3pm. I am open to other schedules currently and would love to get to know more about what you are looking for! Stick to schedules: Pets thrive on routine. • Keep homes clean: Leave the owner’s home as tidy as you found it—or better. Meet & Greet: Offer to meet the pet and owner before sitting. concern for routines, behavior, medical needs, etc. • Provide updates: Send photos, videos, and quick notes during the sit. Secure environments: Make sure doors, gates, and leashes are always properly fastened. • Know emergency contacts: Vet numbers, emergency clinics, etc.
