“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.

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.

“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.”
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.
“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!”
About: We have been boarding and training since 2013. Starting off at a large kennel, then moving to our own business in-home in 2020. Licensed (city and state kennel licence) and inspected by Department of Agricultural, our vet and Kansas City Animal control. Kevin and Heidi full time dog care and training. Potty breaks every 2-3 hours. We provide socialization with yard time and play with breaks from weather as necessary. All yard times and out times are fully supervised by a behavior specialist. Baths are options as we have an industrial dog bath. Fully fenced yard with double gates. As well as double gates inside the home leading to outside. Separate seven hundred square foot kennel area located in-home. Epoxy floors, painted bright walls, air purification and music during noisy holidays and storms. 24 hour audio/visual monitored by trainers.
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.
“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.”
“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.”
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!
“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 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.
“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.”
“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: 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.
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: 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.

“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.”
“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! 🐾😊”
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.

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!
“Jessica has been amazing with Ace! I broke my leg and needed some extra help to take care of him throughout the day! She has gone above and beyond. She is super responsive. I appreciate that she could come and help out very last minute! Would highly recommend booking with her as she knows what she’s doing and really loves the fur babies!”
“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: 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.
About: I have shared my home with various dog breeds and personalities since birth. I will love your dog as much as you do!

My extroverted personality, attention to detail. and positive attitude will grant you peace of mind, and your dog a new best friend!

I am happy to continue your routines when dog sitting to keep your pet comfortable. We can easily discuss what that looks like for you.

“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!”
“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!”
“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!”
“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.”
“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”
“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!”
“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!”

“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!”
“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”
“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!”
“Second time Louie has stayed with Michelle and Bradley. He loves being there, is well cared for and enjoys their dog, Joni. Michelle and Bradley are clear communicators and great representatives of Rover.”
“My pup LOVED his time with Kayla. All the pictures she sent me looked like they enjoyed each other’s company. Kayla was able to watch Zeke on a late notice and she is just so kind. I’m excited to bring him back for more fun time and cuddles. Thank you again!”
