“Chrissy was great; similar age, size, and demeanor pets in the home, drop off and pick up was easy, unsolicited updates, and kind of let my dog take her spot in the house where she felt most comfortable. Beside being fed and watered, you really can’t ask for anything more.”
“Griffin and Gloria are awesome!! They sent plenty of updates and pictures, putting us totally at ease! Our dog was very well taken care of and seemed to thrive in their care!”
“Rhiannon was absolutely wonderful with Eloise, especially given it was a long stay on short notice. We so appreciated her care so we could travel knowing our sweet, high-energy girl was in great hands.”
“Amazing she sent pictures and updated me several times a day. Ace was very happy and well taken care of, I felt very comfortable, we did a meet and greet and she showed me the backyard and even encouraged Ace to use the doggie door, unfortunately we don’t have one. Tasha has a nice fenced in back yard she was just awesome I will definitely use her again.”
“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.”
“Susan and her family were great with our dog! They gave him lots of love and attention and sent us pictures to make sure we knew he was doing well. I would absolutely recommend Susan and the next time I leave town I will reach out to her again!!”
“First time using Jessica and she was great! She sent us daily pictures and updates and our little Murphy seemed to love it. We will definitely choose Jessica again if we need to find a sitter”

“We loved Stephanie! All correspondence, meet & greet, drop off and pick up were all positive experiences. She even sent a photo of our dog each day of our trip. I felt 100% comfortable having our fur baby in Stephanie's care. Highly recommend.”
“My pup noodle had an amazing stay with Shannon! She was very loving to him, took him on many walks, and gave him lots of cuddles. When noodle came home he slept so hard I could tell he was worn out from all his playing. I will for sure be using her again! Thank you so much!”
“Dez did an amazing job with my 2 dogs. She sends me daily pictures of them how and what they’re doing. My dogs looked happy in all of the pictures! I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing my dogs are in great hands while I’m gone. Definitely will use Dez again in the future!”
“Christine did a great job and cared for our pup so well! She was responsive when we reached out for updates and her and her boys were very kind to Bentley!”
“Chris was able to take Oliver at short notice for a trip I went on. We had a prior meet and greet so I felt comfortable with what to expect. Chris updated me on Oliver and sent pictures. Oliver looked like he had a great time with Chris and Dolly (his pup). He went straight to sleep when I brought him home!”
“Becky took such great care of our two boys! She sent pictures and videos every day and loved them just like we do. So thankful to have a trusted sitter while we are out of town! We will definitely use again!”
“Jessie did a great job watching both of our dogs! She has plenty of space to roam and a large fenced in back yard for them to play in! She communicated well and sent a lot of pictures. We will definitely use Jessie again in the future.”

About: We have had pets all of our life. From dogs to cats, bunnies, hamsters, and mice! We love going on walks, playing in the house or snuggling up on the couch. Special diets are no problem. I have taken care of geriatric pets and tummy sensitive pets before. I work 3 days a week. Katie is home all the time and is able to tend to your baby all day so your fur baby won't be lonely! We have a fenced in back yard and a cozy living room with plenty of dog beds to go around. I live right by a park with a walking trail for potty breaks. We do have 4 dogs and 3 cats of our own that are very friendly and love to play.
“Shannon is so thoughtful! She keeps me updated, sends lots of pictures, and makes sure the place is in good shape when I return, despite how messy my orange kitty is. I rebook with Shannon every time I can!”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life, but what really sets me apart is hands-on experience actually raising and training one myself. I grew up training my German Shepherd from a young age, which taught me patience, consistency, and how to understand dog behavior, not just watch them. As a student athlete, I’m very active, so I naturally bring a lot of energy to walks, playtime, and keeping dogs engaged. At the same time, I understand that every dog is different, some need structure and training, while others need calm, gentle care, especially seniors. I’m comfortable reinforcing basic training, handling larger or high-energy breeds, and making sure pets feel safe and understood while their owners are away. I don’t just “watch” dogs, I genuinely enjoy spending time with them and building trust. As a college student athlete, I keep a very structured schedule, which actually makes me reliable and consistent when it comes to pet care. I plan my days around responsibilities, so I make sure pets are fed, walked, and given attention on time. I also work part-time at a golf course, but I’m looking to spend more of my free time doing something I enjoy, being around dogs. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because it gives me a break from school and sports while still staying active. Whether it’s morning walks, afternoon check-ins, or evening care, I’m used to balancing multiple commitments and staying dependable. I focus on keeping pets comfortable by sticking as closely as possible to their normal routine, feeding times, walks, play, and any training habits they’re used to. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of both the space and the pet’s environment, making sure everything stays clean, safe, and stress-free. I give dogs plenty of attention, exercise, and supervision, and I always keep owners updated so they feel confident their pet is in good hands. I’m especially attentive to energy levels and behavior, whether that means getting a high-energy dog out for a long walk or just spending calm time with a more relaxed or older dog.
“We had Vanessa watch our two young cats over Thanksgiving week. Vanessa was great with them and with us - attentive to their needs and very responsive to us. Our favorite was the pictures she shared in the after-visit reports, and our cats’ favorite was seeing their new buddy. Vanessa was very respectful, professional, and kind. Would definitely ask Vanessa to come back in the future!”
About: I have taken care of many cats over the years, mine included. I have cared for family cats over the years and have done drop in’s and overnight cat-sitting as well. I can take care of feeding, playing, meds, keeping any odd little routines and rituals that all cats have. My cat is a senior, and I have been caring for her since she was a kitten, and she is the light of my life. I have also fostered kittens in the past, and understand kitten care as well.
“Mallory was our savior! On a trip out of town, our automatic chicken door stopped working in the mornings, and she was able to start right away to let our girls out, even with all of the snow. She was quick to respond and always arrived on time.”
“Second time that Patricia has helped with my kitty while I was away. Kept her fed and our shy cat has even come out of her shell and is now comfortable with Patricia.”
About: I’ve kept and rescued animals since a young age, which included tending to any wounds or injuries. My own pets were fosters, and most recently I fostered a lovely pittie who was then adopted. I’m very good with skittish cats, and I have a good understanding of basic dog training techniques. Lastly, I live a street away from a nice park which is good for dog walks. I love all animals, and spending time with them and caring for them is just as good for me as it is for them. I am currently self employed and jobs are few, so I have a very flexible schedule. Most, if not all my time would be dedicated to any pets in my care. I do have two of my own cats, so any dogs would have to be okay with cats in the house. All pets are different, with their own personalities, routines and likes/dislikes. Therefore, I plan to ask for detailed instructions regarding pet care. This can include things like a preference to crate the dog at night, dietary restrictions, favorite activities etc. I am detail oriented and appreciate any information or details owners can provide about their pets so that I may provide the best care possible.
“Monica provided great care for my cat like she always does. she provided pictures and videos of him and also gave updates as she did the drop ins. Monica administered his insulin well and with care! My cat loves her!”
About: My husband, Noah, and I love animals of all shapes and sizes. We work together to give your pet the attention, care, and love that they deserve. We are avid walkers and love to play, so we can’t wait to walk and play with your pet. My goal is a happy, healthy, and safe pet all while having fun and spending quality time together. We are happy to take dogs for hikes and extra long walks. Just send me a message! I work Monday through Friday from 8am until 4pm. I am available for drop ins and walks before and after work and anytime on weekends. My husband Noah has a more flexible schedule. I take care of client’s home as if it were my home. It is important for me to feel at home and safe, so that in turn the dog(s) feel more at home and safe with me.

Prices are estimates per day. Pricing may vary based on your search. A booking fee of 11% and taxes will apply.
“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!”
“Ron was quick to accommodate my request and always timely with his responses! I felt comfortable leaving Archer with Ron and he seemed like he had a fun time while I was at work.”
“Derrika was great with our pup! She was very professional and I had a high degree of confidence that our little guy was well cared for and loved while we were away. I loved feeling like it brought her joy to be with him too and not just a transaction. We’ll definitely be back!”
“So glad to have met Ramon, and his dog, Dante. He took fantastic care of my dog, and even took him for a walk! After work, I brought a happy and tired dog home! I already have other dates booked. Thanks again, Ramon.”
“My pup was sooooo happy to see Najji on a return visit for day care! It made both their days being reunited! Rosso and Dolly, Najjis pup, are besties. Sure is good to have Najji available when my schedule is full and Rosso needs play time.”
About: I have been the "go-to" dog sitter for my circle of friends for years, and I’ve realized that the only thing better than having one dog in the house is having two (or three if you have a pair of pups!). I’m opening up my home to Rover guests primarily to provide some social fun for my own dog, Ripley. Ripley is a high-energy ball of joy who loves to play, so if you have a dog that never seems to tire out, they’ll find a kindred spirit here. Whether it's rounds of fetch, wrestling in the yard, or just having a buddy to nap with, your dog will be integrated into our daily routine. What to Expect: • Individualized Attention: Because I only sit 1 family’s dogs at a time, your dogs will get plenty of attention! • Active Days: We specialize in high-energy play. If your dog loves to move, they’ll come home happy and exhausted. • A Present Sitter: I work from home so your dogs will have plenty of face time with me! All dogs with an easy going temperament that are ready to play are welcome. I work from home so your dogs will get plenty of belly rubs and play time. I typically give Ripley a long walk (3 miles) after work that your pup is welcome to join or we can just stick to outdoor play time. I have a fenced in yard and a friendly dog that would love to play outside with your pup. I will send you daily updates and photos. I am happy to accommodate crate-trained dogs (bring your own crate) or dogs that roam a little bit more free (provided they don’t have destructive tendencies😂). I am a bit of a toasty sleeper so unfortunately no dogs in the bed, but they are welcome to sleep at the foot of my bed or anywhere else in the house!
About: I grew up raising and caring for dogs, gaining hands on experience with feeding,grooming, and understanding different behaviors, needs, and personalities in a loving, responsible environment. I am available during the day but I work from 1a-11a . Please note that my children may also be present at my home during the stay. I will get the extra accessories I need , due to me not having a fenced in yard,such as a leash, a harness, and toys if not provided ! I will ensure to keep your fur babies entertained!
“Stephanie provided excellent care for Elvis during his daycare! She sent me pictures of him throughout the day. I will be booking with her again!”
“Allison was fantastic! Ozzie adored her and her dog, and by the third day when I told him he was going to see her he got excited. She kept me updated with lots of photos and was also very understanding of my shifting drop-off and pick-up hours due to the nature of the daytime event I was working. I will definitely be sending Ozzie to stay with her again in the future, and would recommend her to anyone.”
“Stephanie is a great communicator and very patient with all of our concerns for her first visit with her. Frankie had a great day and came home happy and tired from the day of play (that she loves). We are so glad to have found Stephanie and appreciate her beautiful attitude!”
About: With over 20 years of dedicated experience, I bring an unmatched level of expertise and heart to every pet I watch. I specialize in the gentle, attentive rhythms of senior care—from precise medication management to mobility support—as well as the patient, consistent guidance needed for puppies and young pets finding their paws. Because I understand animal behavior inside and out, I offer far more than just a watchful eye; I provide a calm, confident, and deeply intuitive environment where your best friend can truly thrive. When you leave your pet with me, you are choosing two decades of proven, top-tier expertise and total peace of mind. My schedule is built entirely around providing dedicated, focused attention, meaning I have plenty of time to make your dog my top priority every single day. Because my routine is highly flexible, pet care isn't just a task squeezed into my day—it is my day. Here is how that dedicated time translates into top-tier care for your pup: Frequent Potty Breaks & Outdoor Play: Having a wide-open schedule means I can maintain your dog's exact bathroom routine, minimizing accidents and keeping young or senior pets comfortable. Structured Attention: Whether it’s reinforcing basic training with a puppy or providing calm, gentle companionship for a senior dog, I have the time to sit, observe, and engage with your pet on their terms. Consistent Medication & Feeding Schedules: If your pet requires a strict routine for meals or medical needs, my availability ensures they are taken care of exactly on time, every time. Calm, Supervised Environment: Because I am around and available throughout the day, your dog will enjoy a secure environment with constant supervision and plenty of belly rubs. In short: I have the time, the space, and the flexibility to ensure your dog never feels rushed or overlooked. Their comfort and happiness set the pace for my entire week. Whether hosting your dog in my home or managing their care, my setup is designed to keep them safe, active, and completely entertained. I focus on creating a seamless blend of home comfort and exciting structure so your pup feels like they are on a premium vacation. Here is what your dog can look forward to: A Massive, Fully Fenced Backyard: Your pup will have all the room they need to stretch their legs, play fetch, and safely burn off energy in a large, secure outdoor space. Built-In Playmates: With my own friendly dogs around, your pup will have instant companion socialization and plenty of opportunities for supervised group play and afternoon naps. Endless Neighborhood Adventures: We are perfectly situated near fantastic local walking trails and dog parks. If your dog loves exploring new sights and smells, our daily routine includes plenty of fresh air and active outdoor adventures. A Seamless Home-Away-From-Home Experience: Because I am steps away from beautiful trails and have a secure yard right at home, I can perfectly balance high-energy outdoor activities with quiet, comfortable indoor downtime. The Goal: I mix a secure, dog-friendly home environment with the best activities the local area has to offer, ensuring your pet is happy, well-exercised, and thoroughly loved.
“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: Hi, I’m Chris! Dogs have always been a huge part of my life—I’ve spent 30+ years caring for pets for friends and family and I volunteer at a local shelter as a dog walker. I work from home and now have the flexibility to spend more time doing what I love: keeping good dogs (and cats) company. Your dog will get plenty of attention, care, and a walk they’ll look forward to. With a work-from-home schedule, I’m able to offer flexible, attentive care for your pup. We regularly walk around Loose Park and the Plaza and would love to include your dog. When visiting your home, I make sure each walk is tailored to your neighborhood and your dog’s routine. I provide a safe, structured, and attentive environment tailored to each dog’s needs. I take the time to understand your pet’s routine—feeding, exercise, and any specific preferences—so they feel comfortable and cared for from the start. In your home, I’m respectful and detail-oriented, ensuring doors, gates, and leashes are handled carefully at all times. Walks are attentive and controlled, with a focus on safety, awareness, and your dog’s comfort level. With my background in shelter volunteering, I’m experienced with a range of temperaments and prioritize calm, positive interactions. I also provide regular updates, so you can feel confident your dog is in good hands while you’re away.
“Melissa and her kids are so great, and really hit it off with Poppy! You can tell they have a lot of love for doggies ?. Great communication and lovely home (in a perfect location for us). We will definitely be booking again!”
About: I LOVE pets — whether it’s having a pup stay with my dog and me, popping in to feed a cat, or walk a dog in the middle of the day, I’m happy to help out. I have a consulting business, and just wanting to add this stuff to make some supplemental money for trips and other expenses. I work full time from home and own my own business, so my schedule is very flexible! I can bop over to walk your dog, feed your cat, and water your plants if you’re out of town! I have a fenced in yard and have a crate for my dog or yours if necessary. I work from home, so I’m here most of the time and can give your pup lots of love and affection!
About: I’ve been caring for my owns animals since I was young. I have a large home and a large yard perfect for play and sun bathing. I’ve recently moved to working from home full time which will allow me to ensure proper care and love is given at all times. It's all day puppy love around here now. At the moment I have no personal pets of my own. We lost our old beagle over the winter. You can be sure that your family member will be treated as one of my own when they are here in my home. Can provide light grooming (including bathing). Have experience with medical needs as well if needed. I really look forward to the opportunity to watch and love on your puppers.

“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!”
“Kimball is wonderful! She happily met our pup beforehand and was very professional and attentive to her needs. She did a great job of walking her and loving on her, making sure she got a good walk in while we are at work.”
“Ron has walked our dog several times during the day. We appreciate his punctuality and ability to help on short notice. He came to meet our dog before the scheduled walk and we really appreciated it. Good communication as well.”
About: I have cared for my friend’s dogs while they are away many times. I enjoy providing animals with enrichment and making sure they get ample exercise. I am careful around new dogs to let them show me what kind of care they prefer, and strive to make my time with them as enjoyable as possible for both of us. I have full time evening employment. I am available to care for pets Sunday-Thursday 9am to 2pm (meaning my latest available visit would start at 1:30pm for an 30 min visit), and All day Fridays and Saturdays! I have lots of experience with sneaky animals who love eating things they are not supposed to eat or hiding in places they should not be. I am diligent with putting away foodstuffs and making sure doors/ screens are shut. Please let me know if your pet has these behaviors so I can be prepared before the visit.
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.
“Amber is great with my malinois Hendrix! She always leaves good notes on how he did on his walks and sends photos so I get to see my sweet boy while I’m at work! She has great communication and has been very flexible with me.”
About: I've been living my dream for the past three and a half years, pet-sitting in exchange for accommodation as I travel the U.S. as a full-time digital nomad. My extensive nomadic pet-sitting experience has largely been built through a different platform (where I have over 50 five-star reviews for my pet-sitting services) while I worked an unrelated job remotely, but I have converted to / added on Rover in light of being impacted by a mass layoff several months ago. As you can see, I've completed Rover sits in other parts of the U.S. But, Kansas (City) is my home base (I used to live in KC, and I have family/friends all over the area), and I'll be back for a bit in July. I am certainly looking to spend some time in the city while I'm in the area this summer, and I know from experience that pet-sitting is a great way to do it! In the aftermath of my layoff, I have remained very stable through remote side gigs and projects that keep me busy and fulfilled (e.g., a paid remote internship teaching me something new, travel blogging). Still, I have more flexibility in my days to travel to other parts of town and do my work in various settings, so I enjoy utilizing my extensive pet-sitting experience to even further stabilize my life financially. Over the past few years, I've cared for all sorts of pets, ranging from one healthy cat to a seven-animal pack including previously-stray dogs who need to be proven to that they're safe. I've truly made some best friends in these pets; my top favorites have been pitbulls with a personality, as well as cats who provide me some freedom in my daily routine. I've also provided all sorts of medical care to my furry friends: simple pills in pill pockets, "pilling" a cat, checking glucose levels of a diabetic cat and giving it insulin injections, giving a dog allergy immunizations, post-seizure comfort care to a dog, and sincere patience with senior dogs on walks, going up stairs, or who are in the stage of life of needing to wear diapers. I've also watched service dogs who adhere to a different set of rules/commands than their siblings. (When I was younger, I helped train a litter of puppies, so that's also not foreign to me.) While my experience is top-quality, I also have a true love for just spending time with animals, especially dogs and cats. What you can count on from me as your pet-sitter: 1) I will send at least one/two picture(s) a day (if not more because you request it or they do something extra cute/funny!), 2) I will end the sit with various nicknames for them, 3) I will talk to them all day and invite them into every room I hang out in (as long as they're allowed), and 4) I am very attentive to their nonverbal cues, and I will contact you and/or a virtual vet if something seems really off. Pet-sitting has been such a huge part of my nomadic journey thus far, and I've absolutely loved it. . . . I see an opportunity through Rover to monetize and further stabilize my life - as I conduct a full-time job search and pursue adventures I have planned, but also beyond. In my profile pictures, I have included some of my reviews on the other platform I've used for the past few years. If a pet-owner is still curious, I would be happy to provide them with my full profile link. I'm a digital nomad, and pet-sitting has been such a huge part of my journey! I am excited to be back in Kansas City for a bit this summer, and I'm eager to share my time with your pets! My calendar is updated for those dates I'm available. I've spent lots of time in KC over the years, through pet-sitting and living there before I got on the road. I can start my days early and stay up late; I've watched pets who rise before the sun comes up, as well as ones who sleep in like teenagers! I have a lot of remote, digital work to do (ranging from my remote internship to my full-time job search, to running a blog), and your pet is welcome to sit in my lap / at my feet while I work. In my part-time employment era, I have more flexibility and time on my hands, so I figure I might as well expand my time with pets! I look forward to keeping your pets company overnight while watching over your home. But, if you just need someone throughout the day, I love a good coffee shop, so I can hang out at one in your area between drop-ins. In my free time, I enjoy blogging/writing, reading, practicing yoga, cooking and baking, enjoying coffee shops and parks, and going on walks. So, both energetic and calm pets will have a buddy in me. I love a good night in, but I also love to explore new neighborhoods. I look forward to doing so while watching over your furry family! I only agree to pet-sits I feel confident about meeting the pet/home-owners' expectations. Luckily for those searching for the best care for their fur family, I have an extremely wide range of successful experience, including medical/anxiety/senior and home care. Some pets simply need--and want--a human to take them outside and feed them. Others require a bit more attention. I think I really have done it all. I've watched over and bonded with eager, cuddly pets, as well as many rescued/previously-stray dogs who take quite a bit of time to warm up, and cats who fill the litter box and empty the food bowl but rarely show their face. I'm always eager to give the animals my love and affection, should they welcome it, and to fulfill their care needs. I follow all procedures and care that your pet is used to / that you request for them and your home. I am very attentive to pet-owners' instructions, from feeding instructions to crating needs during specific amounts of time alone/overnight, to medication instructions and signs to look out for, to times your fur baby needs to be let out or wants to wake for the day or go to bed. If your pet loves to cuddle and is allowed in the bed or on the couch, they will be welcome to join me. Additionally, I've been astounded to learn how important the HOUSE-sitting portion can be. . . . I've saved a flooding bathroom caused by the connected unit, handled a creepy neighbor while keeping the homeowner involved, kept a saltwater pool clean and operating, oversaw an AC and furnace replacement, and more. Especially for overnight stays, I am known to leave homes just as clean if not cleaner than I found them, with bedding and towels taken care of if my departure time allows.
“If I could have Evey as Gus's personal nanny, I would! She is top notch from communication, to pictures, to reliability. She goes the extra mile and truly enjoys what she does and it shows!”

About: I take my dog (Louie) on walks daily, so I would love to add your dog to our routine! I’ve been dog sitting for 20+ years, in addition to my family always having at least one dog. I personally love smaller dogs. I have experience with rat terriers, cavapoo, yorkies and cavalier king charles breeds. I love pets and think they’re so important to a family! Let me help you keep your pet happy and healthy 😁 I live on the Plaza so I’m in a very walkable part of town, near many parks. I walk my dog in the evenings after work - a quick workout for both of us. We love to walk around Kansas City together! When I’m home, Louie is always right by my side - on the couch, in bed or even while I’m cooking. I crate him most nights and while I’m at work. I live in an apartment so walks are very necessary - we go on at least one a day or we run in my apartment’s dog park. Would love to add your dog to the mix!

“Came over the day before to meet Sawyer. Went for walk on trail near my house even though I said they could just walk the neighborhood. Went above and beyond, would book again!”

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life and can’t imagine a home without them. Growing up with dogs taught me not only how to care for them, but also how to understand their unique personalities, needs, and routines. For the past 13 years, I’ve provided trusted pet and house sitting services for families, caring for pets as if they were my own. I have experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, and I understand how important it is to maintain their routine, provide plenty of exercise and attention, and create a safe, comfortable environment while you’re away. I pride myself on being reliable, responsible, and communicative. Whether your pet needs long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply a familiar and caring presence, I’m committed to making sure they feel happy, loved, and well cared for. My goal is to give pet parents peace of mind knowing their furry family members are in good hands. As a full-time artist, I have a flexible schedule and don’t work a traditional 9-to-5 job, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, whether that means drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, walks, administering medications, or simply providing companionship and comfort. Because I work independently, I can be flexible with scheduling and am often available throughout the day for check-ins and updates. I understand how important consistency is for pets, and I make it a priority to maintain their routines so they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I care for every pet as if they were my own, and I always prioritize their comfort, safety, and routine. In a client’s home, I make sure to follow all instructions closely so pets can stay in a familiar environment with minimal disruption. This includes feeding schedules, walks or litter box care, playtime, medication if needed, and any specific routines or preferences your pet is used to. I also focus on giving pets plenty of attention and companionship so they feel calm and secure while their owner is away. I’m very mindful of keeping the home clean and respecting the space, and I always provide updates so you know how your pet is doing. Whether it’s dogs or cats, my goal is to create a stress-free experience where your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for until you return.
“Michaela is so good with my rambunctious boys! I don't trust many people can handle them and she has my absolute trust. She's very friendly, responsive -and most of all - a kennel break savior! I absolutely recommend her...as long as you don't take her away from us!”
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.
“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!”

“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.”

About: I grew up raising and caring for dogs, gaining hands on experience with feeding,grooming, and understanding different behaviors, needs, and personalities in a loving, responsible environment. I am available during the day but I work from 1a-11a . Please note that my children may also be present at my home during the stay. I will get the extra accessories I need , due to me not having a fenced in yard,such as a leash, a harness, and toys if not provided ! I will ensure to keep your fur babies entertained!
