“Dexter and Eddy had one of the most wonderful stay. They came home happy, tired, and clearly well-loved. The sweetest touch? They gave both pups a puppy cup and even sang "Happy Birthday" to Dexter for his special day! 🎂 It meant the world to see how much they cared. Both boys were all tail wags and smiles the entire time. Thank you again for making Dexter’s birthday so memorable and for taking such great care of our boys.”
“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!”
“Brandon and Nicole were awesome hosts for my Bud Man. He enjoyed the whole week with them. Looking forward to having them watch him again this summer. Thanks!!”
“Luna loves Griffin & Gloria! Griffin is very attentive to Luna and us, he is always making sure we get tons of pictures and videos of her while away from us.”
“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!”
“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!”
“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!”
“Elaine did a wonderful job taking care of my dog. My little dog is a rescue… she is very timid and has abandonment issues, so I was hoping to find the perfect dog sitter for her while we went out of town for a holiday. I adjusted the filters on Rover.com to display only sitters without kids and without other pets at home. Elaine was 1 of 11 and when I read her bio, I knew she’d be a great match! Thankfully, she agreed to dog sit for us and it worked out exceptionally well. I never once doubted the quality care she was receiving while we were away. Elaine was always quick to respond to texts and sent pics and daily updates. Elaine is now my number 1 choice for dog sitting services. Thank you so much, Elaine!”
“Abigail was fantastic with our Great Dane pongo, she kept us updated and was super flexible with pickup times for me! Absolutely will be getting ahold of her again for future stays!”
“I couldn’t be more pleased with the care my dog, Jordan, received. Bridget was outstanding—her communication was prompt and clear, and her home was clean. It was evident that she takes great pride in providing a safe, clean, and loving environment. It was nice she had her own dog kennels too so I didn’t have to bring mine. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.”
“Ms. Lauren is so amazing. Professional is not enough of an amazing word to describe her love, care, and understanding. I felt that my sweet Merlin was cared for and loved beyond measure. I can’t wait to book her again!!”
“Erin was incredible! She messaged me throughout my trip and made my dog feel SO loved. I could that my dog was well taken care of because of the pictures of messages I received throughout her stay. I will definitely be using Erin again the next time I need to board my dog!”
“I had never boarded my dog before, and Saige made the process seamless. I had many questions and had to change a few timelines at last minute and she was very patient with me! My Great Pyrenees chewed a little sore on her paw and Saige tended to it which I very much appreciated. I enjoyed getting and reports of how Willow was doing. I will use Saige again! Thank you!”
“Stephen and his family were great with our dog (and family member) Rainey. So much better to have a loving family take care of her than boarding her. I highly recommend them. Scott”
“Genesis did an amazing job with our dog, Ody! He went on walks, visited the dog park and got a lot of exercise! Genesis went above and beyond, with updates, videos, photos and even a bath after Ody got muddy! I highly recommend”
“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.”

“Holly was amazing with our cat Cosmo. For using an official pet nanny for the first time ever, I feel as though we lucked out with her! I had awful experinces with pet boarding, so I decided that the best thing for him would be to stay home where he's comfortable and safe. We went on a 2-week vacation and I was a little worried Cosmo would be sad and lonely, but to my surprise we came home and he seemed happy and well cared for! Holly was very reliable with doing the drop-ins, always provided plenty of pictures, and she responded back quickly when I had any questions. She even picked up our packages off the porch and watered our plants. I would absolutely recommend her to everyone and definitely plan on booking with her again soon. Simply the best!!!”
“They always make sure my boys (my 2 cats) get lots of love and attention. Since they are my go-to babysitters when I go out of town, it gives me peace of mind that my boys have someone familiar taking care of them.”
“Maddie was great with my 3 cats who are a little shy. She was able to administer medication to one and made sure she sent pictures of them all during her visits. Highly recommend!!”
“Always love when Rachel is available to check in on my fur baby. It’s nice when she’s been available whenever I need her for check ins. She is very reliable & follows my, hopefully, simple instructions. :)”
“Lulu is awesome with our kitties. She always goes above and beyond to ensure they are happy and adjusting well while we are gone. She updates us regularly which helps to ease our minds too. She is the best!!”
About: I grew up with two cats who were truly my babies, and I had the privilege of loving and caring for them throughout their entire lives. I was also their “chosen human” in the family, so I’ve always considered myself a true cat person! One thing I especially understand about cats is that their trust and affection are earned, not forced. Every cat has their own personality and boundaries—some want all the cuddles and attention, while others prefer their independence and need time and space to warm up. I’m happy to meet them wherever they are and let them decide how much interaction they want. I absolutely adore cats and, since I’m not able to have one of my own right now, I genuinely love getting the opportunity to care for and spend time with other people’s cats. Whether that means playtime and cuddles, feeding and litter care, or simply making sure your more independent kitty is comfortable and cared for while you’re away, I’ll treat them with lots of patience and love.
“Once again, Monet did an amazing job watching our babies. We couldn't be more excited and pleased to work with Monet. Monet, thank you for everything you do for us and the furbabies so we can enjoy our time away!”
“Saige was a fantastic sitter! She communicated well and was very kind and timely. My cats were very well taken care of and I felt very comfortable leaving them in her hands, especially because they seemed to like her right off the bat which is not normal for them! We will definitely be using her again!”
“Morgan did a great job caring for Mr. Thick Whiskers. She provided helpful daily updates and found a new hiding spot for his food after it became apparent that we have an acrobat cat. I would highly recommend her.”
“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!!!”
“Megan was wonderful with my 3 cats while we were out of town. I was worried the cats wouldn't warm up having a stranger show up to feed them, but Megan was patient and won them over. As a Rover sitter myself I appreciate the effort it takes to make that happen. I will be recommending Megan to anyone that contacts me to sit that I'm not able to do myself!”
About: I've taken care of cats & dogs for as long as I can remember. I have experience with puppies, senior doggos, kittens, and difficult cats. I am typically off around 4pm Monday - Thursday, & noon on Fridays. My work schedule is pretty flexible and adjustments can be made. Weekends that I am in town are open availability other than Church on Sunday mornings! My cat is not a fan of other pets so all services would be provided outside of my home. I will keep your precious pet safe, and send lots of cute update pictures!
“Rachel took great care of our house and our beloved Cindy. Cindy is only recently adopted with reported history of injury so she's has an unpredictable temper, yet Rachel and Cindy got along great. Rachel was very communicative. We are very appreciative!”
“Katy is wonderful with our senior cat, Fredo, who has special medical needs and likes a lot of attention. We always come home to a happy and content cat, so we know that Katy has taken great care of him while we were gone! We highly recommend her to anyone needing a pet sitter in the KC area.”
“I was able to book Catherine a second time for while I was away on a trip, and just like the first time she was incredibly attentive and thoughtful, and I felt much better about being away from my cat with her dropping in! She made sure to take photos when my cat came out of hiding and engaged with her with little treat hunts to give her something to do, which was definitely appreciated. My cat doesn’t make it easy but Catherine was very patient and gentle with her. I’d certainly rebook in the future!”

“Billie is very sweet, knowledgeable about dogs, which as a first time pet parent I very much appreciate. She was very kind to Tappy. Her apartment is very clean, organized and neat. Though small she is creative to engage your pooch. She ran a kiddie pool for Tappy 😁 😁 😁 and let her people watch to socialize her. Which is the very thing Tappy needs and Billie got that! I would highly recommend Billie!”
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.
“Our dog Rubi loved Elaine! I messaged Elaine the day before we needed care for our dog and she was so prompt to respond and ready to help us. She took great care of Rubi and sent us a picture and updates. Her backyard is perfect for dogs to run and play in and her house is calming and quiet. We will deffinetly think of Elaine again if we need care for our dog.”
“Rosabel has helped me take care of my german short-hair pointer A very active dog and did very well with her on both times watching her all day while I worked. Both times where short notice and was very happy to help.”
About: I grew up on a farm with animals so I’ve always had a love for all kinds of animals! We’ve had a range of sizes from a small Chihuahua to a big white German Shepherd! We currently have an almost 10 year-old beagle who loves other dogs and children! He’s down to play out in the backyard with other dogs or just hang out on the couch with them. We have a walkout basement that is the dog area that goes right out to the backyard. There’s a comfy couch down there for the dogs to hang out on if they wanted to, to cool off from the summer heat. We do prefer to have the dogs in a kennel at night time. I am currently a stay at home mom with my 14 month year-old son. So we will be in and out all the time to let the dogs out and to play with him in the backyard. I have a tall fenced in backyard. And our beagle, Toby, would love to keep your doggy company! We do prefer to kennel at night time if they are used to being in a kennel.

About: 🚨 ATTENTION: 25LB MAX WEIGHT LIMIT - For the safety of our small dog clients we exclusively accept dogs/puppies that are 25lbs or under. 🚨 If your furbaby fits into our small-dog boutique size bracket, we would absolutely love to host them for a premium, customized vacation! ✨ After years of specialized transport with Mother Nature's Express, I am bringing that same USDA-certified level of safety and care to Mother Nature’s Boarding—a dedicated sanctuary for your furbabies. Professional Pedigree & Expert Care: I am not just a pet lover; I am a career animal professional with a decade of high-stakes experience. My background as a retired USDA-certified animal transporter means I have spent years safely navigating the logistics of animal behavior and safety across the country. I’ve handled animals of all temperaments and sizes, ensuring their health and security while traveling state-to-state and staying in pet-friendly luxury environments. Your furbaby's safety is my absolute priority. I am Red Cross Animal CPR certified, and my home is run with the precision and cleanliness of a professional facility, but with the heart of a dedicated stay-at-home parent. The Boutique Environment: Because I am home 24/7, your dog receives constant companionship and expert monitoring. My specialized setup includes: A dedicated "Guest Suite" located upstairs with me, completely separate from my personal pets to ensure a zero-stress transition. Safety-First Rotations: Utilizing my professional handling skills to manage pack dynamics, ensuring every guest feels like the "only" dog in the room. Expert Medical Oversight: Comfortable and experienced in administering medications and managing strict health protocols. A Lifetime of Devotion: My life has been defined by the bond between humans and animals. While I have over 12 years of adult experience managing my own multi-pet household—including dogs and cats—my journey actually began 25 years ago when I welcomed my first cat at age four, followed by a trio of small-breed dogs just two years later. I grew up learning the unique nuances of small-breed personalities, which is why I now specialize in providing a "big-dog-free" sanctuary for your little ones. As a career animal professional, pet care isn't just a part of my routine—it's the center of it. My schedule is designed to provide 24/7 supervision and companionship for my guest dogs. Because I am home full-time, I can maintain strict, consistent schedules for feeding, potty breaks, and medications that mimic your furbaby's home environment perfectly. My week is built around 'Restful Rotations.' While my mornings and evenings are for structured care, the daytime is filled with enrichment and one-on-one attention in our dedicated upstairs boutique area. This setup allows me to give your pet the high-touch care they deserve without the chaos of a traditional kennel. I care for every guest with the same expert precision I used as a USDA-certified animal transporter. My home's layout has been designed for maximum safety: all guest dogs enjoy the entire main/upstairs floor as their private 'boutique' sanctuary, completely separate from my personal pets who reside in their own personal basement suite while guests are here. Safety is my absolute priority. I utilize: Rotation-Based Exercise: I rotate my own dogs before guests enter the fully fenced backyard, ensuring a stress-free environment. The Double-Leash Rule: For front-yard strolls, I strictly follow the USDA safety standard of two points of contact (harness and collar) to ensure your pet is 100% secure at all times. Crated Security: To prevent nighttime scuffles and ensure a restful sleep, all guests sleep in their own individual, cozy crates with fresh water and orthopedic bedding. (The same protocol follows for feeding times to ensure absolute safety while eating) Medical Peace of Mind: Being certified in Animal CPR, I am highly experienced in monitoring health and administering specialized care.
“Great first day of hanging out at Savannah’s house. They have such a nice fenced in backyard. Can’t wait until the boys get introduced to the other dogs and get to play. Will be booking again, thank you!”
About: I’ve owned many pets, cats and dogs included. I currently own dogs, and I spend most of my day, everyday, with them. They’re my people. I am 20 years old and currently doing Rover full time so I have plenty of time to take care of your pups. They will receive my undivided attention with playtime and walks included if needed! I have a large home with a large privacy fenced yard. I also have several crates, or you can bring your own if you like. I have ample food in case you forget to bring your own. I will allow your pets to hang out with me wherever I am in the house and take them out frequently for restroom breaks to the backyard . I also have a room designated just for dogs with a TV, dog couch, and toys. I have gates to block stairways for dogs that don’t do well on stairs. Basically I have everything you need to provide a safe, comfortable, and happy environment for pets!
“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!”
“Joy has watched rocket a few times now but this was the longest stay yet! I am so grateful that she was able to watch rocket and show her so much love. It is a lot easier leaving her knowing she is getting so much love and attention from Joy!”
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!
About: My husband and I have been around animals all of our life. We have pet sit for our family and friends for many years and we love doing it so much that we have decided to extend our services to others. Being parents of a rambunctious cat and shy dog we know how scary it can be to leave your loved one with a stranger. With us your baby will not be a stranger for long, we will welcome them with open arms and care. We have 25 plus years experience working with all age ranges of cats and dogs. Between my husband and I we are able to arrange our schedules so your furbaby will have constant fun and loving interaction. For Drop-Ins during the week we are able to drop in anytime after 4:00 P.M. Monday-Friday but on the Weekends we will have more availability to drop in at any time of the day. We have a one story ranch home that is animal friendly. We have large chain linked fenced in yard in a quaint neighborhood. We have a 3 year old female Great Dane who is a big baby and loves to play with other dogs and gets along with cats. We have a cat who is a lover. If we need to go to a persons home we will be very respectful of their home and wishes.
“Kayah took absolutely amazing care of our elderly, highly anxious pup. We can't thank her enough for her open communication and understanding of Lucy's special needs. I can't recommend Kayah enough!”
About: We are a loving family with various animal experience. My husband has owned cattle and horses and I have owned a horse along with several family dogs. We house sat for an elderly dog earlier this year and would love to look after yours. We did a lot of training with our heeler and are familiar with training collars. On the days your pet is here we will be here to love on and let out as needed. On the occasion we need to leave the house we ask to either have your pet in the kitchen or crated. We have a fenced in yard, an energetic heeler, new lab puppy and 2 kiddos to love and play with your pet. If I'm coming to your house there's the chance I'll have my kiddos with me to walk and play.
About: I've spent years watching the pets of my friends and family. They have trusted me to bathe, feed, play, and care for their fur babies. I’m in between jobs and have lots of time to fit the needs that are required of me :) I am mostly free on the weekdays and my weekends are always free. Where I live currently isn’t suitable for pet sitting but I am more than willing to dog sit at the clients home if need be.

“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!”

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember and growing up with my own, I have always had a special soft spot for pets. While I haven’t provided pet care through an app before, I’ve spent years caring for friends’ and community members’ dogs and cats, including house sitting, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, cuddles, and walks while their owners were away. In addition to growing up with two cats and an dog, I have also lived in a home with two adult dogs and five puppies, so I’m very comfortable around dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I’m naturally attentive to animals and tend to gravitate toward every pet in the room! I genuinely enjoy getting to know each animal and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their people are away. I’m especially interested in walks and drop-in visits. I already love getting out and walking, so being able to spend that time with a dog makes it even better. Since I’m not able to have a pet of my own right now, I love getting my “pet therapy” by giving other people’s animals plenty of attention, affection, and care. My goal is for your pet to get more than just the basics—I want them to have a happy visit and feel like they had a little fun while you were gone. Please note my exact weekly availability: Mondays: 12:30 PM–4:00 PM (occasionally until 5:00 PM). Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays: 12:30 PM–7:00 PM.) Fridays: 9am-5pm I’m also available most Saturday mornings and into the early afternoon. I may have an occasional evening obligation, but I’m happy to try and coordinate around your pet’s routine and schedule. I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I’ll follow your instructions closely, keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible, and make sure they’re safe and comfortable throughout our time together. I’m also respectful of your home and will communicate with you about how your pet is doing, including any concerns or anything unusual I notice during a visit.
“Katie was AMAZING! There was great communication and she always showed up on time with a smile on her face. Our dog absolutely loved her. He would wait at the window for her when I would tell him that she was coming. I felt very comfortable in having her walk him and had absolutely zero worries. I will definitely be using her again in the future for all my dog walking needs.”
About: I’ve always had a dog since I was born which created my love for animals, especially dogs. Before I was old enough to have my very own dog, I worked at Blue Springs Animal Hospital. In college I poured my love into my first dog as a grown up, Bentley my Boxer. He was the absolute love of my life; my soul dog and we spent every waking moment together since he was 5 weeks and I was 19. I enjoyed every part that came along with pet ownership from puppy training to his wonky teenage stage and even when he came wheelchair bound at old age. The heartbreak of losing him never became easier to bare but I couldn’t imagine living live without a dog so we welcomed Boss our Rottweiler into our lives to love forever. With my girls being older and in school I’m looking to fulfill my passion of having fun with doggies! I’m a stay at home mom with a flexible schedule with Tuesday availability from 8:30am to 2:00pm and Thursdays from 8:30am to 11:50am and 1pm to 2pm. I will treat your dog like I do my own. With lots of love, pets and maybe a few treats if that’s okay 😉. I won’t leave without giving belly rubs, that’s on Girl Scouts honor!

“Lillian was amazing! We usually board our two med/large dogs, but one got a mild respiratory infection right before a big trip and we needed someone responsible and caring to come in and walk, feed, love on them and give meds while we were gone for a week. We all loved Lillian from the moment we met her. Over the course of the week, she gave us such peace of mind with detailed notes and photos to let us know how they were doing. Everything went so smoothly and we were able to enjoy our trip, knowing our doggos were in good hands. Would pawsitively recommend Lillian anytime! 🐾”

“James was walking my dogs for almost 3 weeks. He was remarkably punctual . I have two large dogs and James was able to handle them both at once. He was great with my dogs and they loved him, they are still watching the door waiting for him to come and get them for a walk. I would certainly recommend James to anyone who is looking for a responsible and punctual dog walker. I will definitely use his services in future.”
About: Hello, I have had experience with dogs my whole life, especially giant dogs, from Great Danes to mastiffs, from Shepard to labs, my family has owned and trained them all. I love to spend time learning how to train and engage with dogs of all breeds, I am not discriminatory towards any breed! All our dogs were raised since they were weeks old. Walking, exercise, training, feeding, snuggling, I’ve done it all. I work as a mechanic 4 days out of the week from 7-6pm. My shift rotates I always have Sunday and Mondays off and every other Friday and Saturday. If you have questions about my availability I’ll be happy to answer, I don’t mind pet sitting at anytime. I am willing to work around my schedule. I am currently in an apartment, if your puppet has good behavior when I step out I don’t mind leaving them out. I am familiar with crate training, so I can also put your puppet into crate if you feel more comfortable. Since I am in a small home I would take the pup out 3 times a day for walking/bathroom/exercise.
About: Family pets have been part of most of my life. With no pets of my own now, I would like to enjoy and help other pet owners. I also enjoy walking. I am a retired RN who is looking for part time activities and income. I have elderly parents and grandchildren whom I help with but extra time for pet activities. Our yard is not fenced but larger sized and the neighborhood is mostly 5-20 acre homes. Our street is not a busy one, so walks are easy to do. I can also get to the Lees Summit doggy park in about 15 minutes.
About: Hi! My name is Megan and I currently have three cats and a rat terrier puppy who 5 years old! Unfortunately in 2018 I lost my 14 year old Jack Russell Terrier. I love animals and have always had at least one pet in my life, usually cats and dogs at the same time so if you have cats too I'm good to go. I love hanging out with animals and would be thrilled to sit your whenever you need :) Since I have so many pets at my house at the moment, I cannot board dogs, but I can do anything else! I'm always ready to welcome new furry friends into my life, even temporarily. Please let me know if you have any more questions! I work full time in OP so I am able to drop in on pets before or after my 8-5 shifts and anytime over the weekends. I like to make sure pets are comfortable with me and with each other, so I don't have pets stay in my own home. This is because I have many of my own pets. I only watch pets in their own homes.

“Dexter and Eddy had one of the most wonderful stay. They came home happy, tired, and clearly well-loved. The sweetest touch? They gave both pups a puppy cup and even sang "Happy Birthday" to Dexter for his special day! 🎂 It meant the world to see how much they cared. Both boys were all tail wags and smiles the entire time. Thank you again for making Dexter’s birthday so memorable and for taking such great care of our boys.”

“I had never boarded my dog before, and Saige made the process seamless. I had many questions and had to change a few timelines at last minute and she was very patient with me! My Great Pyrenees chewed a little sore on her paw and Saige tended to it which I very much appreciated. I enjoyed getting and reports of how Willow was doing. I will use Saige again! Thank you!”

My nerves calmed down the second day I was gone and received photos and updates ! I knew he was in excellent hands, I will always use her when I have to leave town…100%”
“Mikayla did a great job with my dog Lilah! Sent lots of photos and gave updates on what she was up to each day. She scheduled a meet and greet before the booking to ensure our dogs got along and they had no issues! I would definitely book with Mikayla again :)”
About: My husband and I have been around animals all of our life. We have pet sit for our family and friends for many years and we love doing it so much that we have decided to extend our services to others. Being parents of a rambunctious cat and shy dog we know how scary it can be to leave your loved one with a stranger. With us your baby will not be a stranger for long, we will welcome them with open arms and care. We have 25 plus years experience working with all age ranges of cats and dogs. Between my husband and I we are able to arrange our schedules so your furbaby will have constant fun and loving interaction. For Drop-Ins during the week we are able to drop in anytime after 4:00 P.M. Monday-Friday but on the Weekends we will have more availability to drop in at any time of the day. We have a one story ranch home that is animal friendly. We have large chain linked fenced in yard in a quaint neighborhood. We have a 3 year old female Great Dane who is a big baby and loves to play with other dogs and gets along with cats. We have a cat who is a lover. If we need to go to a persons home we will be very respectful of their home and wishes.
“Lucy just had her first overnight away from home. As always, Tory did a phenomenal job helping calm her anxiety, and keep a relatively normal schedule. The updates throughout the day are always hepful. Lucy now has a wonderful "2nd home" ...with her two puppy friends (Hazel & Khaleesi)! Tory is absolutely the BEST puppy sitter we've ever had, and we will always recommend her skilled services and care to anyone!”
“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 ?”
