“This was my 1st time having to find a service for boarding for my Snickers and Ms. Brandi not only took my request last minute but provided exceptional service and care for Snickers! Brandi and her husband were very accommodating and sent pictures and updates each day. My flight was delayed due to inclement weather and to extend the stay was allowed with understanding and no issues! I would definitely recommend Brandi to anyone and she will be my go to for any needs in the future! Thank you!”
“Sara was wonderful! She was very responsive and sent photos during the stay. She was also very accommodating when we had an emergency and had to end our trip early. We would recommend her!”

My pup had a blast and I could tell because they kept me updated with cute pics and videos over the course of my pup’s stay! They definitely love animals and treated mine like their own. Wont ever use kennel boarding again, my pup got so much love!!”
“Our Remi had the best time with Sylveena and her family. We received so many pictures, updates and notes throughout the days we were gone, it was so appreciated. She even kept a mindful watch over her time outside due to the intense heat we’re experiencing. It’s obvious that Sylveena loves animals and we are so happy to have found her!”
“Absolutely wonderful communication the entire three weeks I was gone for work. I didn’t have a single worry Tilly wasn’t taken care of and Tasha was incredibly communicative. She sent me pictures multiple times a day and I couldn’t of asked for more. She’s gonna be my go to.”
“We were a little worried about how Bentley would get along with the other dogs Ramon had since our dog is an only dog. Everything seemed to go well. We were very pleased!”

“Nicole was wonderful! She provided excellent communication throughout our trip and sent photos, which gave me great peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our dog was well cared for, and having fun. In fact, when he came home, he cried because he missed his new friends and the environment he had grown so attached to. We couldn’t ask for a better indication of how happy and comfortable he was in her care. Highly recommend!”
“Christine was great with communication and kept us updated the entire stay with photos. She has 3 boys that helped get all of Ryder’s energy out. We would absolutely recommend Christine!”

“Christina and her partner James took amazing care of my anxious pup, Toast. She sent consistent updates that made me feel at peace with leaving him. The best part of all is that I came back to a very normal dog. He was very comfortable in their space and became friends with their sweet dog, Gizmo. Toast slept in bed with them every night and he wasnt left alone, like I was worried. I will 100% be using them again. I was so happy with how everything went!”

I was super nervous to have him boarded somewhere for the first time but she kept me updated regularly and was always in contact to reaasure.

I appreciate her excellent care would absolutely recommend her and will definitely be booking with her again if available!”

“Vanessa was wonderful with both of our cats. I worry a lot about leaving them when we go out of town, but I felt so comfortable leaving them under Vanessa’s care. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone.”
About: I have been a cat lover my entire life. I would go to the library as a child every few days and check out a new cat book.I am very familiar with body language, different breed temperaments, and aware every cat has their own quirks and social pace. I will do everything I can to cater to your cats specific needs and temperament. I am available in the evenings and all day on weekends!
“Olga was fantastic! Our cats typically do not do very well with temporary changes in their environment and have not done well when boarded previously. Olga sent us regular updates and photos of them and it was very clear that they got much more comfortable staying with her after a short adjustment period. Can not recommend her enough! We will absolutely bring our pets back to her in the future any time they need to be boarded! Thank you so much for taking such great care of our boys Olga!!!”
“Arabella was super responsive and communicative while checking on my kitties. She sent lots of videos and pictures that helped ease my traveling anxiety and let me know they were in good hands. Would absolutely recommend her services to anyone looking for a great sitter!”
“Cheyenne was fantastic! She played with my cat every time and cleaned the litter box. She sent great photos so I didn’t have to worry about how my boy was doing. I forgot to update my new address in the app and sent Cheyenne in a wild goose chase to finally get to my new address. She was very nice about this though and accommodating. Definitely recommend!!”

About: As a cat parent to three distinct felines ranging from ages 3 to 10, I know that cats are not just "low-maintenance dogs." They have complex emotional lives, strict boundaries, and unique routines. My current cat family includes a social butterfly, an aloof kitty who prefers her space, and a sweet disabled cat who requires extra patience and physical care. I also lovingly cared for a senior rescue cat who became disabled with age. Because of this, I provide customized, fear-free drop-in visits tailored entirely to your cat’s specific personality: The Shy or Aloof Cat: I never force interaction. I am perfectly content to quietly scoop the litter box, refresh the water, and sit across the room reading a book so your cat feels safe and undisturbed. The Social Butterfly: I come ready for intense laser pointer sessions, wand toy playtime, or extended grooming and chin-scratch sessions. The Special Needs or Senior Kitty: I am fully competent in administering oral pills, handling specialized diets, and managing advanced medical needs like injectables or Sub-Q fluids without causing unnecessary stress. Every visit includes thorough litter box maintenance, fresh food and water, and—of course—plenty of high-quality photo and video updates so you know your favorite feline is thriving while you are away.

“Always the greatest feeling to leave Kayla or Winston with Stephanie, who absolutely loves her. When both dogs are dragging you to the front door to get inside it’s always such a good feeling.”
“Christine is absolutely wonderful! She is always so understanding and flexible — she even watched my dog two hours past the planned time so I could take care of my niece on a school night. I never have to worry when bud is with her. He walks right in and makes himself at home, which says so much about how comfortable and cared for he feels. I’m so grateful for the peace of mind Christine gives me and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, kind, and trustworthy to care for their pet.”
“I booked with Taylor to watch my dog for a couple hours one morning. He has separation anxiety. She understands the needs for a dog with SA and was able to help manage his nerves while we were gone for some errands.”
“I can't thank Griffin enough for taking care of my dog on such short notice. They were incredibly accommodating and provided excellent care. Highly recommended!"”
About: As a young child I begged my parents to get a dog. I took the “D” encyclopedia into my room every night to study dog breeds. I spent years consuming every dog book I could get my hands on. I even created a dog walking business, made fliers, and handed them out to all of my neighbors. I finally got a puppy in 1st grade. She was my best friend. She went along with all of my crazy antics as I tried to make her a sled dog, a hunting dog, and even an agility dog. I also had fish, lizards, and a rabbit. I now live in KC with my husband and our baby! We recently lost both of our senior dogs. I wish I could adopt all of the dogs in need! In the meantime, I would love to help take care of yours. I work from home! That means I’ll have plenty of time to spend with your precious dog. I only ask that your dog gets along with babies/kids. I am used to taking care of dogs of all sizes, ages, and energy levels. I’m confident I can take care of yours too.
“Thank you so much for taking such great care of him. He loves hanging out with you. It's funny because we will tell him where he's going in the morning and he gets so excited!”
“Stephanie did an incredible job watching Lyla! Our dogs got along really well and Lyla was excited to go over there everyday. She was flexible and I also received lots of pictures and videos. 10/10 and we’ll be back again!”
About: I've been taking care of my own pets (4 cats and 1 dog) for years and used to work as a Rainbow Valley vet clinic walker and boarder! I am currently living in Kansas City and my beloved kitty Nala who joined me up here passed in October. So I currently do not have any pets at home and would love some company boarding animals! I love watching both cats and dogs 🥰 I work from home and have very flexible work hours, so I have plenty of time for boarding and walking! I live in a house with a yard and have plenty of space for your pets to roam indoors! I have a medium sized yard for dogs and a house all to myself most of the time for animals to have their space! I love boarding overnight because of animal cuddles. I don't have a fence, but if your dog has a harness it won't be a problem at all!
“Tricia was great with my two dogs. My boy had a blast playing with her dogs. My girl has separation anxiety and Tricia gave great ideas for future stays. She was quick to respond to messages and sent photos of the dogs playing. Will definitely book again!”
“Reliable care taker with a very open schedule. Took care of my dog for 60 straight days on short notice without any incidents. Has a huge backyard and set up a small pool in the summer for the dogs to play in. My dog loved the family and got crazy excited when i brought him back a second time for a short stay. Lastly, always took lots of pictures and kept me updated along the way.”
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!
About: I've been training and taking care of dogs for 33 years. I had a couple childhood pets then when I was 18 I adopted and trained a dog that stayed with my family for 15 years. I also had a Labrador who made it to 13 and my current old man puppy is 13. I've been with my husband for 20 years. We LOVE dogs of all ages and sizes. I'm a stay at home mom to my geriatric dog. We get up around 6am, go outside for a bit, come in and get breakfast, then lounge while I clean. Lunchtime we go out again, have healthy snacks like carrots, then play in the fenced in yard or the living room depending on weather and temperature. Late afternoon and evening we wind down and get ready for dinner. I have a fenced in yard, a friendly old dog, tiled floors, comfortable furniture that they're allowed on, and air vents that come from the floors (dogs love to lay on them). There is security on my home and absolutely nobody but delivery people come here during the day.
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have experience caring for both small and large dogs, as well as cats. I’ve also worked with many animals through volunteer work and grew up spending time around animals on farms. Whether it’s walking, feeding, bathing, playing, or simply spending quality time together, I approach every animal with patience, care, and respect. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I’m happy to adjust my care to help them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. As a college student, I have a flexible schedule that gives me plenty of availability for pet care throughout the week. I’m available for weekday and weekend visits and can often accommodate mornings, afternoons, and evenings depending on the day. I genuinely love being around animals, so pet care is something I enjoy fitting into my everyday routine. I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities, routines, and needs. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully and prioritize each pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness. I’m respectful of your home and your pet’s normal routine, and I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for.
About: I have had dogs in my family since I was a child and have years of experience with various breeds. I work from home most days and happy to get active with the doggos. I have a loving a cuddly home and treat all my fur guests as family. As someone with a senior dog, I am very patient and know how to accommate the additional needs some pets may have. With my flexible work from home schedule, I am able to be home during the week, to take your dog out for walks, potty breaks, cuddle, and to play. I am also available on weekends. With the exclusion of running errands, while your dog is with me, they will never be left alone for more than a few hours extended amount of time. I have a fenced in back yard for your dog to run free in. I also have a senior chihuahua who is very chill and unbothered, so as long as your dog likes other dogs, they will get along just fine. I do let dogs sit on the couch and get on the bed, however, I will respect that boundary if you do not allow that for your pets. I know all families have different schedules for potty and feeding times, and my schedule is flexible so I can keep your dog on track even while you are gone.

About: I have taken care of dog since I was young and have taken care of cats as well. I am in love with all animals and can’t wait to meet yours! I am currently open for any fur baby at all times of the week. My schedule is usually pretty open and I will continue to keep it that way to cater to your fur baby. I come from a loving background and believe all living creatures should be treated with kindness and love. I will continue to do my part on loving all creature until I am too old to lol.
About: I've been caring for dogs since I was 15, starting with my family dog, and now I have Nacho, my big baby! Over the years, I've had the pleasure of dog-sitting many pups. My husband and I both love dogs, and Nacho loves them too! I believe discipline and training are key for dogs, and I always make sure to put in the effort to ensure my dog is well-trained. I'm proud to say that my dog trainer considers Nacho to be in the top 1%! 😎 I currently have two part time remote jobs that are very flexible. I have the ability to make most things work. Pet sitting would not be hard to fit into my routine. We have a fenced yard in our home. Our house is located in a neighborhood with parks to walk around. I also believe that following house rules is really important so I’m willing to be directed in whatever preference someone might have for their own home.

“Erika was able to meet with me on a moment's notice and was very reliable. She even worked it out to drive a little farther than she would have liked. Thank you Erika!”
About: I have never lived a day without an animal by my side. With over 35 years of hands-on experience as an adult, my life has been dedicated to animal welfare—volunteering with rescues, fostering animals who needed extra love and patience, and adopting those who needed a second chance. From teacups to gentle giants, rambunctious pups to quiet seniors, and 15+ years of dedicated feline care, I understand that every animal has a unique personality and comfort level. I specialize in providing calm, compassionate, and patient care for shy, anxious, or special-needs pets who need someone to meet them where they are. I work remotely from home 95% of the time, allowing me great daytime flexibility for drop-ins, walks, and house sitting. I just need access to WI-FI and my laptop wherever I go. For house sitting, I prioritize spending quality time keeping your pets comfortable in their own familiar environment. (I just ask for the flexibility to pop out briefly to check in on my own fur babies.) While caring for your home, I am happy to bring in mail/packages, take out the trash/recycling, wash any dishes used, and keep everything tidy and secure while you are away. You will always receive timely updates, photos, and peace of mind knowing your home and pets are treated with the utmost respect. Your fur babies are not just a job to me—they are family. I look forward to meeting you and your companions!
“Vanessa was wonderful to work with! She was easy to communicate with and incredibly accommodating, especially with my last-minute request. We had to make a few adjustments due to the weather, but communication was seamless and she was very flexible throughout the process. I really appreciated how easy she made everything, and I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and responsive sitter/walker. Thanks again, Vanessa! 🐾😊”
“She was the best! Kept me updated, sent me the best pics and videos and was patient with my excited 3 year old furball. Will definitely recommend to others and book again!”
“Lulu has been wonderful! She has been walking my 10 month old puppy who was not great on a leash but seems to be doing well! My puppy cries for her when she drops her off! Lulu is very punctual and professional and has answered any questions I have. She also leaves a detailed report after each walk. I would highly recommend her!”
“Cheyenne is wonderful. She is always on time and professional. More importantly my dog Grace looks forward to her walks with her. I like how she lets me know of her bathroom habits so I can monitor. Highly recommend her.”
About: Hi, I’m Shannon! I’m a passionate and caring pet lover with a knack for making pets feel at home. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just some extra cuddles, I’m here to ensure your pets get all the attention and love they need while you're away. Can’t wait to meet your furry family members!" I have a 3 year Goldendoodle (Hunter) and we are very active! Walks, cuddles, playing ball in the back yard and watching the world go by out or our big front window make the world go round. I have a fenced yard, doggy door and a cute little 3 year old Goldendoodle, named Hunter, to keep your pup company and active while you're away.
“Very nice lady! Dog loves her and we Hope to develop a long term relationship with Connie for my busy work days! When 10 minutes just cannot be interrupted. If he didn’t JUMP 3 ‘ fences with ease he’d have half an acre to play! Lol little champion”
About: I’ve been the resident cat and dog sitter since I was a teen in my family and friend group. I have worked with dogs big and small, and cats of many temperaments. I have been an overnight sitter for both animals, and have experience walking, playing, following routines, and making the pets feel comfortable and loved. I have followed medication routines and given medications for both cats and dogs as well when needed, and am comfortable doing so. I am currently working part time while going to grad school, so I am back and forth from the house and able to check on any pets throughout the day. My home has plenty of space for another cat to hang out. In my home, I try to make the environment as comfortable for other pets as possible and make sure they feel safe and secure as they would in their own home. As for visiting pets at their homes, I enjoy knowing their habits and preferences, so I can cater to their needs as closely to their normal lifestyle as I can. Simply put, I want pets to feel at home and safe regardless of their location, and do my best to love them and their needs whatever they may be.
About: Lifelong Animal Lover with Advanced Care Experience I grew up surrounded by both dogs and cats, and my life has always revolved around animal companionship. I don't just love pets; I understand them deeply. Because I specialize in dog walking and drop-in visits (up to 3 times a day), my focus is entirely on providing structured, safe, and attentive care right in your pet's familiar environment. Expert Medical & Senior Pet Care I have extensive, hands-on experience managing complex care for pets of all life stages, including disabled senior animals. If your pet has specialized needs, they are in highly capable hands. I am fully confident and experienced with: Administering oral medications, pill hiding, and precise schedules. Managing advanced medical treatments, including injectables and subcutaneous (Sub-Q) fluids. Assisting pets with mobility aids, harnesses, and specialized diets. Managing senior pet hygiene, including diaper changes and cleanup. Understanding Behavioral Quirks & Big Personalities As a proud owner of two large bully breeds—one who manages severe anxiety and reactivity, and another a rescue recovering from past neglect—I understand that not every dog is a textbook "easy" walker. I am trained in patience, hyper-vigilant environmental awareness, and reading subtle animal body language to keep your reactive, fearful, or strong pup safe on walks. My home is also run by three incredible cats ranging from 3 to 10 years old (including an aloof kitty, a social butterfly, and a sweet disabled cat requiring extra patience). Having previously rehabilitated a rescue cat who became disabled with age, I know exactly how to respect a feline's boundaries while ensuring their needs are met. Whether your cat wants a high-energy play session, gentle grooming, or just a quiet human presence to keep them company, I adapt entirely to their mood. Because I work from home full-time, my schedule is highly flexible and reliable. I am available throughout the day to accommodate your pet's specific routine, offering dog walking and drop-in visits anywhere from 1 to 3 times a day. Here is how my lifestyle benefits you and your pet: Punctual & Consistent Timing: Since I am not tied to a rigid office commute, I can visit your pet at their preferred times for meals, medication, or potty breaks. Mid-Day Break Specialists: I am readily available for lunch-time walks to break up the day for high-energy dogs, puppies, or senior pets who cannot hold it for long. Rapid Emergency Response: Working locally from home means I am never far away. If your pet has a sudden change in schedule or an urgent need, I can adapt quickly. Your peace of mind is my top priority. I treat every animal with the same meticulous care, patience, and fierce love that I give to my own unique fur family. Here is what I bring to every walk or drop-in visit: Frequent Photo & Video Updates: My camera roll is already completely full of my own pets. You can expect detailed, visual updates during every single visit so you know your pet is thriving. Proactive Dog Safety: I bring hyper-vigilant environmental awareness, patience, and deep knowledge of subtle animal body language to every walk. This ensures your reactive, fearful, or strong pup stays completely safe. Customized Cat Care: I know exactly how to respect a feline's boundaries while ensuring their needs are met. Whether your cat wants a high-energy play session, gentle grooming, or just a quiet human presence, I adapt entirely to their mood.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was about 10, and have loved it ever since! I frequent KC Pet Project because I’m not able to have a pet of my own yet, so being able to walk and care of your pet makes my day! I do not have any specific training skills, but have a lot of availability in order to help you out! I’m am a full time student and also serving at Brooksider, but taking care of pets in my free time helps me stay motivated! I don’t have many in person classes so I can be available at random spots during the day! I have fostered before, and I love giving my animals as much attention as I can. Especially if I am caring for someone else’s pet, that animal will be my first priority.
“I have been so pleased with Kodiak walking my dog on a regular basis. I get great feedback and pictures of of Barbie out on her walk. It’s been a relief to find someone so responsible and caring. I would not hesitate to recommend Kodiak to anyone who needs a trusted dog walker or sitter!”
“Emmie is a delightful, friendly and thoughtful person who also loves to walk dogs! It’s the perfect package to help in our situation getting my mom’s dog outside for walks. She goes beyond what is probably required here to make sure that my mom knows when she’s coming, takes Anna on great walks and is easy to communicate with about scheduling. Thanks for being such a great help to all of us!”
About: I have taken care of dog since I was young and have taken care of cats as well. I am in love with all animals and can’t wait to meet yours! I am currently open for any fur baby at all times of the week. My schedule is usually pretty open and I will continue to keep it that way to cater to your fur baby. I come from a loving background and believe all living creatures should be treated with kindness and love. I will continue to do my part on loving all creature until I am too old to lol.
About: My name is Mikayla - I am a behaviorist by trade (for people, not pets) and I've been a pet lover forever! I have a 9 year old Staffy/Akita/Aussie mix and a 15 year old cat at home. I will feed, play with, and walk your dog (and can also take them to the dog park for a good time if they're familiar!) I'm friendly, playful, and can be flexible with scheduling throughout the metro area from the end of June through July. Lets chat and I hope to meet you and your furry friend soon! I'm a public educator so I'm off work in the summer months and available most any time June- July. From August - May, I'm available in the evenings (after 4pm) most days! I'm happy to care for pets in your home and am a reliable and trustworthy pet/home sitter. I drive a Ford Escape and can transport dogs to a park nearby if desired, too.
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life and I am super passionate about animals. I have experienced both owning and sitting animals of all ages (especially puppies) and I would love to get to know your fuzzy friends!😊 I am a student, but currently on break for the summer so I am very flexible! I am a runner so long walks don’t bother me at all. Animals are one of my passions so I will be giving your fur baby as much attention as it needs. Whether that is a walk, a food and water refill, some pets or a simple potty break, I will be there!
About: I have experience in clinic and shelter environments, especially with fearful or reactive pets. I also have experience with exotic animals and have taken care of personal pets my entire life! I’m reliable for feeding, walking, medicating, providing enrichment, and more. I’m currently available mornings, evenings, and overnight. With notice, I can invite animal-friendly small/medium pets into my home. For larger pets or those who don’t enjoy animal company, I can do drop-ins or walks at your home! I have my own friendly dogs and cats in my home. The small animals in my home are kept in a separate room. I have a long leash to give your pup some playtime outside, or we can take good walks on a regular leash. I can crate, medicate, or provide enrichment for your pets as needed (with instructions), always with compassionate care.

“Taylor was great! Extremely happy with our experience with her. Sent frequent updates/photos and our dog seemed to really enjoy his time at her house. 10 out of 10 would recommend”
“Susan and the family were incredible. They took Charlie in with warmth and love. She was excellent at providing updates and pictures. Will definitely be booking with Susan again!”
“Our Remi had the best time with Sylveena and her family. We received so many pictures, updates and notes throughout the days we were gone, it was so appreciated. She even kept a mindful watch over her time outside due to the intense heat we’re experiencing. It’s obvious that Sylveena loves animals and we are so happy to have found her!”
“We were a little worried about how Bentley would get along with the other dogs Ramon had since our dog is an only dog. Everything seemed to go well. We were very pleased!”
“Jessie was great! She treats your dogs like family and gives daily updates on how your pups are doing. It brings such comfort knowing your dogs are being taken care of and loved.”
“Christine was great with communication and kept us updated the entire stay with photos. She has 3 boys that helped get all of Ryder’s energy out. We would absolutely recommend Christine!”
“She was great with my two dogs! My dogs were very anxious at the start of their stay since it was their first time being boarded and she was very comforting to them and me! Thank you Olga!”
“This was by far my best Rover experience! My pup did boarding for 2-weeks over the holidays so was a bit nervous because of the length of time. Cassie and Ben were great, treating my pup with love, sharing pics daily, walks, and more. Will definitely use again!”
“Christina and her partner James took amazing care of my anxious pup, Toast. She sent consistent updates that made me feel at peace with leaving him. The best part of all is that I came back to a very normal dog. He was very comfortable in their space and became friends with their sweet dog, Gizmo. Toast slept in bed with them every night and he wasnt left alone, like I was worried. I will 100% be using them again. I was so happy with how everything went!”
“Great experience! Really appreciated the nightly review pictures. Very competent caregivers, even with our younger dog Lola who can be a pain in the butt sometimes.”
“Courtney was a wonderful sitter for our Colt! She provided daily updates with photos included. So glad we chose her to watch him while we were away, and I know who we will go to if we need her services in the future!”
“Sofia was amazing through this whole process, she took such good care of my baby. I was super nervous to have him boarded somewhere for the first time but she kept me updated regularly and was always in contact to reaasure. She was also super understanding and flexible with our schedule, accepted my booking last minute and even agreed to extend our booking when something came up. I appreciate her excellent care would absolutely recommend her and will definitely be booking with her again if available!”
“Jill was awesome!!! Kaiah had a great time playing with her pup in the back yard. She sent pictures the entire time so I could see my baby! Thank you, Jill! I highly recommend her ?”
