“We always depend on Katie to take care of our cats, including a diabetic older cat. Feedings are on time and she plays with them and gives them attention. We are already planning to schedule her services for a summer trip. Highly recommended!”

We highly recommend Anthony for any animal care. He is compassionate, detailed and is a welcome change to the care standard of most caregivers. If we have future needs, we will seek Anthony again!! Thank you so much~!!”
“Jessica was a wonderful pet sitter to our older cat. She was able to do a few overnights so our cat wasn’t lonely. She actually stayed longer than scheduled because of a snow storm. Our house was left tidy and communication was good throughout our trip including pictures. We would use Jessica again.”
About: While I don't have formal experience, I've spent my whole life taking care of pets at home. I've even raised our current pups from puppies to adulthood, handling everything from feeding to playtime. My goal is to treat every pet like part of the family. I'm currently a college student down in Springfield, but whenever I'm back in town for breaks or summer, I will have a fairly flexible schedule! I'm available on the weekends, evenings, and soon to be during the weekdays as well! Every pet deserves the family treatment! I'm careful to follow their set routines and rules - whether it's playtime, feeding, or crate time. Your pet's safety always comes first!
“I appreciate Meggie’s special care for my kitties so much ! We were able to travel without worries - she is reliable and communicates very well! She went above and beyond to ensure they were comfortable- I couldn’t ask for a better experience!!”
“Jacqueline was great. She sent plenty of pictures and updates, and her kids gave my cat plenty of attention. Her rates her very reasonable, will definitely contact when I need a pet sitter again!”
“Madison was great! Very satisfied with her care of Grover. I could tell by the photos that he was happy and well taken care of. I will certainly use her again if she is available.”
About: I've been caring for cats since l was about about 6 or 7 years old. After I lost my oldest cat Sailym at 17, I've decided I wanted to continue helping others with their pets while they travel and give them a peace of mind like I had during my trips to Spain in college.
“I HIGHLY recommend Julie. She cared for my elderly Yorkie and cat while I was out of town (drop in visits). Her daily updates and photos were very comforting. My doggie is very old and gets confused but I can tell he was well taken care of. Having an old pet can be challenging but Julie cared for him very compassionately. I will absolutely book with her in the future. Thank you, Julie. I could tell my pets were relaxed and comfortable when I got home.”
About: I have over two years of experience working in a dog boarding facility, where I developed strong skills in animal care, supervision, and handling dogs of all temperaments. I am currently pursuing my Veterinary Technician degree, further expanding my knowledge and passion for animal care. In addition, I have provided trusted house and dog sitting services through personal recommendations and referrals. I genuinely love working with dogs and plan to dedicate my career to caring for and improving the lives of animals. A dog fits well into my weekly routine because I have a flexible and consistent schedule that allows me to dedicate time to feeding, walks, playtime, exercise, and companionship. I enjoy being around animals and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. Incorporating a dog into my routine feels natural, and I’m able to provide them with the attention and structure they need throughout the week. I provide attentive, reliable, and compassionate care for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. While dog sitting, I make sure pets maintain their normal routines, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication administration if needed, and plenty of attention and affection. I prioritize each dog’s safety, comfort, and well-being, and I always keep owners updated with photos and communication for peace of mind. My goal is to create a calm, caring environment where dogs feel happy and secure while their owners are away.
“Kathleen went above and beyond to make sure she gave my cat his injections. He was difficult but she was a trooper and got the job done. I very much appreciate all her hard work. I would highly recommend her.”
“Amanda was awesome taking care of our four cats!! She followed their care instructions to a tee!! She also spent time playing with the kitties and gave them lots of pets and chin scratches!! I really enjoyed the photos and videos she sent me. Amanda is a very sweet and caring person, and it showed with how well she took care of our fur babies!! I will definitely use Amanda to take care of cats again!!”

“My two small Chihuahua mixes absolutely love their time at Mike and Sharon's! We use them mainly for daycare and they usually always have a couple small puppy friends there, so they are exhausted and sleep all night when they get home! We have used them for boarding too and have nothing but praise. If you need a sitter or lower stimulation doggy daycare, Sharon's your girl!”
“Naji is very caring and attentive to my dog, Tucker. He loves going to her home and I know he gets great care while he's there. I highly recommend Naji to anyone needing care for their pet.”
“This is like a second home for Zion. He's receiving the attention from Kathleen, her dogs and the freedom to run and play in her home, as well as her fenced in back yard which we don't have at our home. We're hoping to extend Zion's one-day stay to many overnight stays that will help fit our traveling and working schedule.”
“Jacqueline was amazing! She accommodated our very last minute booking and gave great care to Bella. Jacqueline communicated well with us and made my first Rover experience awesome! We will definitely utilize Jacqueline again!”
“Shawn was wonderful with my pup! He was able to watch him super last minute and was so flexible with all the arrangements! Harry enjoyed his time hanging out with Shawn and making an new puppy bestie! I will definitely reach out again for any future needs for Harry or his brothers! Thank you so much!”

About: I had a dog a few years ago when I was young but unfortunately we had to let him go. My love for animals has always been strong and over the years I have regularly cared for friends’ and family’s dogs during that time, including both energetic puppies and gentle senior dogs. While I have limited experience with cats, I’m open to caring for them and excited to learn more if given the opportunity.

About: I have been taking care of my dog since a pup(6 weeks) and shes 10 years old now. I have taught her some tricks such as shaking hands, sitting, and laying down. She also has some disciplinary training such as not jumping on people. I am a full time student but i have plenty of time to take care of your pet. I go to school online so I am always home. I have a good size fenced back yard. I also have a furnished basement for hot or cold days since my backyard has limited shade. I can crate your dog or cat if needed.
About: I have a stay at home job where my hours are very flexible. I do have visits with clients that can last 1-3 hours but if I know that I’m caring for your dog I will do my very best to not schedule two visits in a day! I will spend lots of quality time with your dog and make sure it is getting more than enough love and care that it needs! I work in social work, so I usually have 2-3 visits per week that last between 1-3 hours. Other than that, and the other activities I spend my time doing, I will give your dog so much love when I am home! I am rarely ever gone for more than 3 hours at a time. I am available any day of the week on a normal week. I live at an apartment complex, but we are only on the second floor, have a good amount of space, and our complex even has a dog park!

“As a new travel nurse to the area, it’s important for me to find a sitter that meshes well with my dog who has separation anxiety. Caitlin was wonderful with my boy, provided updates, and I came home a happy/tired pup! Until next time, thank you Caitlin.”

“We are so lucky to have found Tiffany J! From the very first meeting, it was clear how much she truly care about animals. She has been so incredibly reliable and always on time, which gives us such peace of mind while we're at work. Our dog, Flex , gets so excited every time she show up. I especially love the daily photo updates and detailed summaries of their walks. I highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy and professional walker! Thanks Tiffany!”
“We did a meet and greet first, and Katie was very professional, asked all the right questions and very sweet. My puppy LOVES her, butt one of my older dogs was scared, so she offered to walk her with her brother at the same time and they did great! Very happy with Katie, and already booked another appointment.”
“Hailey was excellent, we booked her to walk our dog on very short notice. She was very responsive and extremely kind to our dog. I would 100% recommend Hailey to anyone looking for a pet sitter or dog walker!”
“Heidi was so fantastic! After I had surgery I needed a lot of help with my Shih Tzu and she was there at a moment's notice for any and every need Spanky and I had. I could tell she really cared about him and was very gentle with him. I would highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve had at least one dog at any given time since I was young. I’ve gone through multiple puppy stages and adopted my current dog when she was a teen. She suffers from the occasional seizure so I’m familiar with that as well. I work from home full time so frequent potty breaks or pups with separation anxiety will always have someone there with them. I have a 6 year old son who loves dogs. I have a fenced in backyard and a super friendly dog. She’s about fifty pounds but she’s super gentle with the little or younger ones too.

About: Hi! I go by my middle name, Kathy and I’m 69 years old, I have 3 dogs currently and have had dogs, cats, birds, bunnies, ducks, hamsters, bearded dragons and a gecko for pets as well as fish! I can provide several references from people I have cared for their pets. I love all animals. I do work part time 9-1:30 M-F during the school year, I’m off during the summer, but will be able to take care of your pet before work and then after and through the night. I’m very trust worthy and would love the opportunity to care for your pets. I take care of your home and your pets as carefully as my own. I’m currently working part time and would have plenty of time to care for your pet before and after work. I’m also available to spend the nights when needed. I provide in your home sitting only. I feel keeping your pet in their home in their familiar surroundings is much less stressful on them. I will provide as much love and cuddles as they will allow. My typical day during the week would consist of me getting up early enough to let your pet out to potty, feed and water them and play a little while. Then I would go to work till 12:30/1:30, go back to your house and repeat the morning routine unless your pet does not eat again in the afternoon, play and cuddle as much as your pet wants. If your pet sleeps with you, they are more than welcome to sleep with me too.
About: I’ve had dogs since I was young. As well as taking care of many of my neighbors/ relatives animals.

About: Taking care of people’s pets is my passion, and I have over fifteen years experience caring for them as a vet technician, animal care technician at several different boarding facilities, and as an animal shelter volunteer. I provide attentive, professional care with a genuine love for every dog I meet. I don’t just “watch” pets—I learn their routines, personalities, and needs so they feel safe, relaxed, and at home. Over the course of my professional career I have worked with every type of breed and personality under the sun, from high-energy puppies to scared of their own shadow rescues to “just want a nice quiet place to lay down” senior dogs, I’m confident in reading behavior, maintaining structure, and responding calmly in any situation. I have yet to encounter a pet who hasn’t warmed up to me within a few hours, or wasn’t excited to come back to stay again. Pets under my care are treated with patience, affection, and respect—like family, not a booking! Unlike traditional boarding, I do not use kennels, unless they are necessary and that is communicated to me by the owner because of potty training and/or destructive behaviors. I have got dog beds for every shape and size, although most are more comfortable on the coach with me or in my bed at night. And, of course, there is no extra charge for playtime or extra treats! My family are all pet lovers here as well, so my husband and kids love having extra dogs around to spoil with treats, walks around our subdivision up to the pond, couch snuggles, and endless playtime in our large fenced in backyard. I never watch more than four at a time, to make sure every one of them gets plenty of attention. I am currently working on obtaining my Masters degree, primarily online, so I am home with the pets I “board” the majority of the day. I currently work from home 20 hours a week medical billing and coding and doing online program for my masters. My schedule is very flexible and I am at home pretty much 24/7. I have a fenced in large yard in a quiet neighborhood, so I walk dogs I watch/my dogs 1-2 times a day and let out any elderly dogs I am currently watching through the front door to avoid the deck steps. I feed my dogs twice a day, they drink filtered water and get denta sticks each day. I always bring dog treats on walks so reinforce good behavior. We consider our pets people here, so getting on furniture is allowed as well, unless the owner says to discourage. I do not kennel dogs unless owner provides kennel and instructs me to use it for crate training/destructive behaviors.
About: Hello! I’ve taken care of family and friend’s dogs for about 8 years now and I have a dog of my own! Her name is Wednesday and she’s a German Shepherd Mix that I’ve had for 2.5 years. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and breeds and treat them all like the little fur babies they are! I work from home and I have a very flexible schedule so I will be available to drop in and take your dog(s) as many times as needed throughout the day. I will make sure to follow their normal routine as much as possible. Such as feeding times, frequency in walks/potty time, play time, etc. Additionally, I am a huge dog lover and I have no problem cuddling, petting, and playing with your fur-baby while I care for them.
About: I’ve taken care of my family dogs and cat my entire life. I’ve been helping my sister the past three years with her dogs and cats as they started a family. I love furry friends and it honestly doesn’t even feel like a job, it’s more of a hangout! I am a teacher and this year I am not doing summer school, so this is a great opportunity to care for more pets this summer! I can easily take your furry friends out to the bathroom, and feed them! Getting the leash on for walks is the easy part, trying to keep up is my workout for the day!
About: **NOTE: If you are outside of my normal service preferences, please still request, particularly if you have a pet that has medical or behavioral concerns. I am extremely comfortable with unique behavioral/medical needs and I find great joy in working with these animals. I have always loved animals. This was amplified when I completed an internship at an exotic animal sanctuary on their animal care team. After this, I trained as a veterinary technician at a senior dog sanctuary specializing in hospice care. When I moved to KC, I worked as a vet tech under a renowned veterinary orthopedic surgeon. I was the lead vet tech for a high-volume clinic where I was the lead surgery and dental tech, emergency tech, and euthanasia tech, and I oversaw the vet tech schedule and controlled substance logs. I am comfortable administering injections (insulin, for example), administering subcutaneous fluids, delivering triage care in an emergency with your animal, and monitoring heart rates, respiratory rates, and capillary refill times. On a personal level, I am the proud mom of a one-eyed French Bulldog, a senior Chihuahua, a ball python, a milk snake, and an eyelash-crested gecko. In the past, I have been a parent to hamsters, rats, a guinea pig, a corn snake, and multiple fish species. I currently work as a Behavioral Interventionist for a district that participates in four-day weeks. For the summer, I have open availability. The school year will begin again 8/11/25 for me which will leave me with full availability for Saturdays, Sundays, and Mondays and availability from 5 am to 8 am and after 5 pm on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays until the end of May, holiday breaks being the exception. When you request a time for a visit, I will care for your pets within one hour before or one hour after the requested time unless there is a special circumstance such as medication administration needed at exact times. For example, if you request a drop-in visit at 12pm, the visit may start anywhere from 11am to 1pm in order to accommodate unexpected situations where I need to spend more time with an animal. An animal's safety is my highest priority. I am trained in safe dog introductions and reading animal body language. Additionally, I am trained to safely intervene if an interaction between animals becomes aggressive to minimize injury to the animals and myself. I am well versed in identifying potential emergency medical situations and will respond quickly to reduce stress on your beloved pet. I would like to know immediately if something is wrong with one of my babies, and it is essential to show you the same respect.
About: I currently work at a boarding facility and get to work with dogs of all sizes and temperaments! I especially do well with the pups that are a little more nervous or fearful as I’ve been working with dogs and have learned how to read them well! I love to see nervous pups flourish into who they truly are once they get warmed up! I am a lead at PetSuites so I do administer medication daily to pups aswell so don’t be shy about boarding your dog who needs medication! My work schedule: sun. 8-8 Mon, OFF tues 8-5:30 wed 8-5:30 thurs 8-8 fri 8-5:30 sat 8-5:30 IF YOU ARE UNCOMFORTABLE WITH YOUR DOG BEING LEFT ALONE FOR 10+ HOURS I CAN CHANGE MY 12 HOUR DAYS TO 9. You just have to book a few weeks in advance I currently work full time and depending on how close the dogs are to my work could swing by before and after work as well as on my break for potties and meals! On my days off I can spend much more time if not the whole day those days! My dogs at home are friendly but one is getting old and a little cranky so in home boarding/visits wouldn’t work best for me as it would likely make your dog more comfortable to be at their own home!

“Kiaya is great with my high needs dog. I hired her to help with his walks while I recovered from an ankle injury. She has gone above and beyond by feeding him on days my kids have forgotten and it’s too hard on me to climb the stairs. Highly recommend!”
