“Susan did such a wonderful job with my dog, Remy! Remy can be a little shy/nervous, but Susan and her family provide a safe, comfortable, and loving home, and I feel absolutely comfortable leaving Remy with them!

She is great and we look forward to booking again in the future!”

It was also very easy to communicate with Briah, I certainly would recommend her to anyone and I am going to book her again.”

Easy access to play in the fenced in backyard was especially nice on sunny days. Willy was well-cared for during his stay in Griffin’s home.”

We did a meet and greet before leaving her and she seemed very comfortable around Olga from the start. Olga went above and beyond taking our baby for daily walks at the park, and was very patient and kind when our dog kept her up through the night. Olga was excellent with communication and sent lots of pictures throughout her long stay! If ever needed, we will absolutely be using her again!”

What a wonderful service they provide with wonderful caregivers!”
“There’s no possible way that Amanda isn’t Gibby’s new favorite person. She spent so much quality time with her and gave us the most wonderful updates. She even noticed a non-emergent condition our cat had and without hesitation, picked up meds and treated her while we were away. We can’t recommend Amanda enough. We’ve had at least 5 other people in the past check in on our kitties and she was world’s above our other experiences. 10/10 Gibby approved!”

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!”
“Thank you Keesha for doing all you could to keep my kitty stress free while we were gone. And for all the updates which kept me stress free ?.”

About: Hello! I’ve been dog sitting for over a couple years for friends and family and I can’t wait to do more for the community. I love all animals and treat them like family. I’m excited to meet more furry friends! I’m currently a medical student at UAMS. I usually just stay at home and study. I’ll have plenty of time to go on walks, dog parks, and much more! I have a back yard and a smoke free home to keep your furry friend company whenever needs be. I can adapt to your needs as long as we communicate and work through it!
“Ron did a great job accommodating my 10 month old standard poodle who can have a lot of energy at times. The other two dogs that we're also staying for day care on this day were a great match for Link. It is obvious that Ron loves the company of dogs and I plan on having Link visit him for daycare each week! Link came home happy, well cared for, and calm.”
“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: I have had dogs almost all my life. From as early as I can remember I have enjoyed the character of dogs and how they interact with the world around them. Curious, loving, direct, playful, and led by natural instincts. I am a certified professional dog groomer that also offers these additional services to include well rounded pet care. I currently do work at home and can be pretty flexible with scheduling. I can take new appointments within a day or two. I prefer three days notice to cancel but handle all situations case by case. When caring for a beloved four-legged fur baby I treat them with the love I show my own pet companion with kindness, love, compassion, and comfort. I typically allow pets on my furniture and interact with them throughout the day. I enjoy walking with and having playtime in the yard or at a nearby dog park. If there is a more structured environment that you prefer with your dog that can almost always be accommodated.
“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.”
“Chris was very responsive and easy to work with. He took great care of our new puppy when we needed someone to watch him during the day. We will definitely continue to use Chris in the future!”
“Rachel was awesome! She answered my request fast, and accommodated watching my dog on very short notice. She sent me pictures right away, was communicative and super sweet. Will definitely be using her again!”
“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!”

“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.”
About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs, big or small! I currently have an Australian Shepherd and a miniature aussiedoodle! I am very reliable, organized, and happy to do whatever you may need! I'm currently in KC on a travel assignment with my partner, and we both work in the medical field. While I'm not working at the moment, she is! This means I'll be at home all day giving your pet plenty of attention. :) We have a fenced in yard! Our two dogs are friendly and would love to welcome your fur baby in to come stay with us.
“Absolute wonderful rovers, will definitely be rebooking in the future!! Thank you so much Ramon and Nicole for taking such good care of our boys!! They loved their stay 🥰🥰”

“Jessica did a great job taking care of our two dogs over the course of two days. House was well taken care of and the dogs were happy. Great experience.”
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 taken care of dogs since I was 16 years old, and we always had a dog or two in the house when I was growing up. This taught me responsibility and love for all dogs! I’ve taken care of many puppies, trained my own dogs from birth, and more. I tend to gravitate towards dogs and dogs tend to gravitate towards me. In my care, your dog will receive endless amounts of love and playtime between myself and my dogs, responsible care, a yard and frequent potty/food breaks, and a stress free experience for both you and your dog! I’m currently working full-time, but I am able to come home on lunch breaks Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday to interact with the dogs. I work from home on Mondays and Fridays, off Saturdays and Sundays. My schedule is pretty flexible so you can bet your dog will be taken care of! I have a fenced in back and front yard, and two sweet, trained, cuddly labs for your fur friend to play with (they love playing)! If I need to be away at any time, I can easily crate your dog next to my crate trained dogs. My dogs also enjoy the off leash dog parks, so if you are comfortable with it, I would take your dog to them for extra playtime! I feed my dogs twice a day, but can adjust to your dogs feeding schedule. I take my dogs out to potty about every 4 hours, but again, can adjust to your dogs potty needs. If in your home, your rules will be followed and I will only accept as long as I’m able to meet ALL of your needs. My goal is to provide a stress free home/experience for any fur friends needed!
About: I’ve spent 7+ years caring for pets of all kinds, taking the time to learn each one’s routine, quirks, and comfort level so they feel safe and relaxed while you’re away. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to help with puppies, seniors, and pets who need a little extra care. I work a full-time job from 10–5 on weekdays, so I schedule pet care around my work hours. I’m available early mornings, evenings, and weekends for walks, playtime, or visits. When I’m with pets, I give them my full attention and make sure they’re happy, comfortable, and well-cared-for, even with my regular work schedule. I provide attentive, patient care whether I’m at your home or mine. In your home, I follow your pet’s routine closely—feeding, playtime, walks, litter box care, and any special instructions—to keep them comfortable and stress-free. If pets are in my home, I make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and part of the family, giving plenty of attention, cuddles, and play. I always prioritize their happiness, health, and comfort.
“She is thee best with Topanga and training her how to jog with her! Something that this young 2 years old need while I get beat up in corporate world. Providing a better life for the both of us. Also made me comfortable that she have American bulldogs too!”
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've had a dog of my own all my life who recently passed, and I've had a bearded dragon, fish, and other animals as well! I've been working with pets for a while now (walking/sitting pretty much everyday) in college and it's one of my favorite jobs I've ever had. I am just starting out on Rover, but I have a High Demand profile on Wag!, with 15+ five star reviews and 13 badges earned through customer satisfaction. I tend to be pretty chill and amicable for new pets, and I work well with seniors and youngsters alike. I just really enjoy meeting new animals and getting to hang out/run around! I'd love to answer any questions you may have for me, I'd even be happy to set up a call to chat face to face if it would make you feel more comfortable! I am on summer break from college right now, so I can make myself available for whatever time you need assistance! I am particularly available for long daytime hours and overnights for those who need a housesitter! I am great at de-stressing pets and am very flexible when working with new challenges. I also am completely able to keep up with pets that like to play and get out and about! I can even bring my own treats if you want!
“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!”
“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! 🐾😊”
“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.”
About: Ever since I was a child, I’ve been surrounded by animals—dogs, cats, even hamsters, rabbits, and fish! Now, being a full time student at Rockhurst University here in KC, having an animal of my own, Lemmy (a sweet Ragdoll cat), has been an ultimate highlight in my daily routine. I love taking care of my own animal, and having such a strong passion for it would allow me to give the same, special care for your own furry friend! I’m used to all animals of all ages and sizes, and am eager to help in any way possible! I’m currently a college student at Rockhurst University in Kansas City, and have a very flexible schedule! I’m willing to accommodate most days/times to help with your needs! I will make sure all food is given out properly and water is freshly filled. I’ll ensure that the doors remain locked when I’m there and when I leave, and that your animals are safe and calm!

About: Hi! I’m Olivia, a lifelong dog lover with years of experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I currently work from home, which allows me to give pets lots of attention, playtime, walks, and companionship throughout the day. I’m very active and love making sure dogs get the exercise and stimulation they need. I also have an English Cream Golden Retriever named Sully who is extremely playful, friendly, and loves having dog buddies around. Because of that, I’m looking for dogs that enjoy playing and socializing! Creating a safe, loving, and fun environment for pets is something I truly enjoy, and I’ll care for your dog like they’re my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I’m home throughout the day for walks, potty breaks, playtime, feeding, and lots of attention and companionship. I typically do a 30-minute morning walk, a lunchtime walk, and an evening walk to help dogs stay active, stimulated, and on a consistent routine. I’m also very active myself and love spending time outdoors with dogs. Since I already care for my own playful Golden Retriever, Sully, having dogs in the home is already a big part of my everyday lifestyle. Sully loves having dog buddies around, so I’m looking for dogs that enjoy playing and socializing as well! I provide a safe, loving, and active environment for pets in my home. I have a fenced-in backyard for supervised outdoor play and potty breaks, along with a large finished basement where dogs can run around, play, and burn off energy indoors. Since I work from home, pets receive plenty of attention, supervision, companionship, and exercise throughout the day. I follow each dog’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions from owners. My goal is to make every dog feel comfortable, cared for, and right at home while they’re with me.
About: I grew up on a family farm in Iowa, raising beef cattle, chickens, dogs, cats, horses and the occasional raccoon! I have experience from bottlefeeding newborn baby animals up to senior pets. My schedule varies weekly. I am a professional photographer that works on site and from home. My “home work” location is flexible as long as I have Wi-Fi! I can be fairly flexible with times as well as staying with your pet. For pets in my home, I live in an apartment with my boyfriend and there’s a river trail nearby for longer walks along with a pet area at my complex. I have previously stayed at and checked daily friends, family, and clients homes while they’re out of town/at work to care for their pets as well as farm animals. I have a wide array of experience working with different animals from regular in-home pets to many farm animals with feeding, walking, and giving medication if needed.
