“Dexter and Eddy had one of the most wonderful stay. They came home happy, tired, and clearly well-loved. The sweetest touch? They gave both pups a puppy cup and even sang "Happy Birthday" to Dexter for his special day! 🎂 It meant the world to see how much they cared. Both boys were all tail wags and smiles the entire time. Thank you again for making Dexter’s birthday so memorable and for taking such great care of our boys.”
“Meghan was very accommodating with my senior special needs dog. He needed the comfort of someone's home. Her children were an added bonus because he loves kids. We don't travel often so being able to find a place Woody felt comfortable as well as myself helped relieve the anxiety of traveling. Our drop off and pick up time needed to be flexible and Meghan was very available via text to and work with those times on the fly. If we have to travel again I will feel comfortable leaving Woody with her.”
“Sean and Jolene are basically the VIP concierge service of pet sitting. Honestly, we couldn’t ask for more unless they also started doing laundry and cooking us dinner. It’s incredibly comforting to go on vacation knowing your fur babies are living their best lives—probably better than you are—getting loved, spoiled, and treated like tiny, furry royalty. Meanwhile, you’re out here hoping your hotel towels are as fluffy as your dog’s emotional support blanket. They truly are amazing… and at this point, I’m not entirely convinced my pets even miss me.”
“A wonderful loving environment, where I could leave my furry friend and know she was being well taken care of. I highly recommend Karly and her family.. our teenage children adored my dog and even allowed her to sleep with them, just like she does at home.”
“We have found the one!! Samantha and her family took in our dog as one of their own. He was so happy while we were gone and that gave us great peace of mind. We will definitely use Samantha again.”
“Our two large dogs stayed over night two days with Allen & Kella and they did great! It was nice to video and picture updates on their stay. Allen is a great communicator and answered all my questions quickly.”
“Our dog Ace had an amazing stay and was clearly a happy boy in the pictures/updates we received during our stay. Ryan took great care of him and would recommend him to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”
“Stephen and his family were great with our dog (and family member) Rainey. So much better to have a loving family take care of her than boarding her. I highly recommend them. Scott”
“Kaitie was so welcoming to my dog and accommodating! My pup came back happy and worn out (haha thankfully). I absolutely recommend her and will to any of my friends who need pet sitting. Thank you Kaitie!”
“Sarah did a great job keeping my 2yr old mini aussie for 5 days while we went out of state. She kept me posted on how he was doing and she sent me pics on the regular. Highly recommend! She also has dogs herself and Rio loved it! I think he misses his friends ❤️”
“We had such a great experience with Dana! She was super dependable and easy to communicate with the whole time. We tossed a few curveballs her way, like meds and the fact that Dante is a newly adopted shelter dog with limited history, and she handled it all with total flexibility and care. Her place is such a great setup for dogs, and her two pups are so sweet and well-behaved. Dante clearly had an awesome time and came home happy. Would definitely recommend Dana to anyone looking for a great sitter!”

“Aubrey communicated everyday and was personable. So glad I was able to find her near my neck of the woods. Rosie was spoiled daily with love and sun. Thank you so much Aubrey, Rosie will be back again!”
“We feel so fortunate to have found Wanjia! She took our two babies (ShihTzus, 12 and 4 y/o males) and treated them like they were her own. She sent us timely and informative updates with photos and details of each dog was doing. It made our time away completely stress-free, knowing they were both safe, well taken care of, and loved. We will absolutely use Wanjia again!!!”
“I would leave Tony any day with Jessica. We had a wonderful experience with Jessica! She was so kind and updated me often on what Tony was doing everyday. Tony has difficulty eating on his own and also he barks whenever he hears any sounds. I'm so happy that she worked with him and addressed them really well to train Tony to not do those. I don't know how many sitters does this but I really felt Jessica took care of our Tony really well and I'm grateful that she took care of Tony.”
“I highly recommend Alesha. We have used her services two times now very very pleased. Her process to qualify your dog before she even accepts them as a client is impressive. It shows that she is very passionate about animals and there well being. We will use her services again hands down.”
“Dalane was amazing! She sent me photos daily and we chatted about how he was doing. I loved that Louie and her dog got along so well. I highly recommend Dalane! I will for sure be a returning customer!”
“Amelia was a great host. She accommodated to my Rocky's needs and sent lots of pictures. Rocky had a great time with Kelce, Bella and other pups! I highly recommend her for her kindness, space and homey feel! I plan for Rocky to stay with her in the future again! Thank you for taking care of my baby ❤️”

“Thank you, Kassidy for taking such good care of my scared cat. My 5 day get away was much better knowing Bodhi was in good hands. I received daily updates from Kassidy and she promptly replied to any messages I sent her. I will definitely get ahold of Kassidy if I am needing a place for my cat.”
About: I've taken care of cats as long as I can remember, and have come to own and love dogs over the last few years! Friends and neighbors have relied on me to walk, feed, and play with their pets in their absence. I will send updates on your pets as often as you'd like, so that you can know they are being loved and well taken care of. I currently work part-time, which leaves me plenty of time to make sure every member of your furry family is well taken care of! I am available most afternoons and the occasional morning. I offer dog walking during the day, and can also do drop in visits for feeding, playing, walking, litter box care, and potty breaks. Let me know if there is anything else you need for your pet to feel special!
“Wow wow wow, I cannot say enough great things about Kaylee!!! We asked her to house sit for a very big trip, and I knew we were asking a lot, but she truly delivered and was everything we could want in a cat and house sitter, and more!! She sent us text, photo, and video updates along the way, and was great at communicating with us. She was extremely patient with our shy cat, and also with our very sassy little cat! In the end, she ended up befriending the little one and gaining her trust, which was so sweet! She also left our house in immaculate condition, which was impressive given how long she stayed. We will definitely be using her services again, and would highly recommend her to anyone!”

“Justin was great. Between the cats and the dogs and all the nuances of each pet, Justin managed it like a champ. Our cats were not very cooperative, you know, like cats can be. Justin provided us daily updates and pics. He was also super responsive to the many texts I kept sending. He was also kind enough to grab out mail/packages, too. I would definitely recommend Justin if you’re looking for someone to care for your pets.”

I am looking to earn a little pocket change while hopefully helping someone out with their fur babies. Most times I will have to come with my baby in her carrier for now, but certain times I may be able to work around that, so please dont hesitate to ask! I am willing to travel as far as Kansas City/Overland Park, Pittsburg, and Joplin/Springfield, or basically within an hour and half for house sitting. As a mom I am not able to stay in your home for house sitting, I could consider pet care inside my home on a case-by-case basis. For daily walks, we will have to agree on a price if its farther than Nevada, El Dorado Springs. I live on a few acres with cats, a dog, chickens, and ducks. I have experience with a lot of different types of animals as well including fish and smaller caged critters. I have experience working with service dogs as well.

My schedule is very open. Whatever work you're needing with your animals, please reach out. Animal care in my home will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Animal care in your home will be as requested by you. I typically could not do overnight care as I've got kiddos in school and will most likely have to travel a bit to help you with your animals, but on weekends or breaks I can consider it.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover who understands how important it is to know your pets are safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Dogs have always been part of my family, and caring for them comes naturally to me. I work from home full-time, which means your pup will have plenty of attention, supervision, companionship, and outdoor breaks throughout the day — not long stretches alone. My home is in a quiet rural town with a securely fenced yard where dogs can safely explore, play, and relax. I love getting to know each dog’s personality, routines, and comfort needs so they feel right at home here. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or prefers naps and cuddles, I’ll make sure they receive patient, loving care and lots of affection. I know leaving your pet with someone else requires trust, and I’ll do everything I can to give you peace of mind with updates, photos, and dependable communication during their stay. I’d love the opportunity to care for your furry family member! Pet care is a natural part of my daily life because I work from home and have been a lifelong dog owner. Pets get plenty of attention, outdoor time, playtime in my fenced yard, regular potty breaks, and lots of affection throughout the day. Because I’m home most of the time, dogs are rarely left alone and can enjoy a calm, comfortable environment where they’re treated like part of the family. I provide dogs a safe, secure place to be themselves with personal attention and mindful consideration of their needs. Because I have dogs of my own, any visiting dog will have playmates and socialization throughout their stay.

About: I’ve owned pets my entire life. From larger breeds to small, I’ve owned them all. We currently have a two year old female Goldendoodle that is super spoiled and friendly, and 10 month old female cat that is also super sweet and friendly! They compete our family! I’ve also cared for family and friends’s pets when needed, so I have lots of experience taking care of other peoples fur babies! I currently work from home, so I have lots of flexibility in my day to tend to a dogs daily needs. I have availability through the week and most weekends as well! I have a fenced in yard and one friendly Goldendoodle that would love to entertain a furry guest! I can crate if desired but for the most part your dog will be treated like family. Our dog is our big baby and spends her day around us and not kenneled throughout the day or night. We used to use her crate at night when she was a puppy and potty training, but she no longer needs it, so she typically sleeps in a room with one of our children. We can try to best accommodate your routine requests to keep your pet feeling right at home!

About: If you're looking for genuine, dedicated care, look no further! My name is Ryan, and as a full-time, stay-at-home step-dad, I have the inherent flexibility and unwavering devotion to ensure your pets have a comfortable, fun, and personalized stay. With no children of my own, my commitment is complete: I treat every animal I care for as my own child. I recently made the move from California and am using the financial stability created through different ventures to pursue one of my passions: pet sitting. This isn't a job for me; it's a heartfelt side venture, meaning your pet gets my undivided attention during their stay. My goal is simple: for your animals to have the absolute best, most loving experience possible while you're away. Unlike part-time sitters who squeeze visits between other obligations, my schedule is structured around consistent pet care and family time. As a stay at home pet parent, caring for my two Golden Retrievers and cat forms as a constant of my daily routine. This means all walks, feeding times, and play sessions are scheduled with precision and are not subject to outside work conflicts. Whether I am providing in-home boarding or day stays, I am always present and available. I commit to maintaining your pet's exact routine, from specific medication times to late-night potty breaks, ensuring a stable, predictable, and stress-free experience. 1. Trust and Availability Trust is the foundation of my service. As a full-time, stay-at-home sitter, your pet receives genuine, focused attention that is simply unmatched. My flexible schedule means I am not juggling another job; I am fully dedicated to their care. This constant presence allows me to quickly recognize any change in behavior, diet, or health and respond immediately. Please feel free to observe my home environment and my interactions with my two Golden Retrievers and cat. I provide updates, photos, and communication so you always feel connected and assured that your pet is safe and thriving. 2. In My Home (Boarding/Daycare) For in-home boarding, I provide a safe, secure, and pet-proofed environment. My home is designed to be a comfortable, low-stress retreat. Dogs enjoy a consistent routine of feeding, play, and scheduled outdoor time in a fenced yard (with or without my two dogs- preference based). All medications are administered exactly as prescribed and logged. For the safety of everyone, only pets who are current on vaccinations and demonstrate friendly temperaments are accepted. The environment is always low-density, meaning I take a limited number of guests at any time to guarantee that every animal receives the maximum amount of personal attention, love, and care.
About: Hello! **Repeat Clients get specialized Discount** I am an avid animal lover. I got my first pet when I was 3 years old. It was a kitten named Nicky. He taught me a lot of responsibility and showed me a lot of love. A few years later my my mom added several dogs to the family - miniature Schnauzers, Standard Schnauzer, and a Beagle mix Having these animals in my life has given me great experience and also taught me unconditional love. My previous dog helped me get through the rough days when I lost my mom to cancer. I have learned to care for seniors, animals requiring medication (orally) and how to work with young animals especially puppies. In your employ my top priority will be your pets happiness. Working for you is my only employment and my focus will be on your dog or cat only. They will get my undivided attention and I hope to spoil them like crazy. Since I have dealt with several puppies I can even try to bring some training tips to your dog if needed. Personally, I do still have my pup Julius but he lives with family out in the country loving his best life in open fields He is 12 now, He is my furry angel in he was my little protector. It is so true that not all angels have wings. I would have kept him but I could not afford all of the vet bills when you take care of a pet properly, luckily I have a family member I love so much that was able to provide that. I love spoiling dogs of course with the doggy parental guidelines, this includes specific food regiments and pills. I hope that I will get to meet you and your fur babies soon! I have a very go with the flow attitude, I make any animal I care for #1. I dont work full time, so time for pet care is very important to me. Whatever routine the family has I stick to for consistency. I do have other activities I do but they are always scheduled around my work as a pet care provider. 🙂 In my home I create a safe environment. I'm very aware of other animals around to keep your dogs safety number one priority. Unfortunately in this world people at their dogs off leash and that can be a problem. I have no problem following any regimented food or medication delivered to the animals. Also if I'm in a client's home I would treat it with respect and basically make it look like nothing has changed except your dog has gotten top-notch care. If there's anything specific in the requiring overnight boarding I am more than happy to oblige with that.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for over 20 years and they are always a part of our family. we currently have a golden doodle and love spending most of our time with our boy Simba. I am a software professional mostly stay at home to care of our daughter and dog. Also, we all stay at home during weekends and any holidays. So we got you covered for most of the time. We have a huge fenced yard, and I can take your dog for long walks and crate him required. I have my own fur buddy and we crate him for his naps.
“Kelci was a fantastic sitter for our puppy. As soon as you meet her you can sense her genuine love for animals. They took such great care of Winston and we could tell he was comfortable with their family and other pets when we came to pick him up. It gave us great peace of mind knowing he was in good hands with lots of space to play! We will definitely be choosing Kelci again!”
About: I have been pet sitting since before my children were born and they are now grown. I am a young retiree with lots of time, but I am also active enough to keep up with even the most energetic babies. Most pets do better in their own environment and routine. Advanced notice is required to prior to gather all the information necessary to ensure a smooth process. Spoiling your pet with all the attention they require is my top priority. With house sitting services, you have the added bonus of having your home looked after as well. When appropriate, I also offer boarding services in my home one client at a time. ***My dog will stay with me on all house sitting bookings*** I adjust my schedule to your meet your babies needs. Your babies come first, my schedule comes second. I am retired, so I spend the vast majority of the day with them. During the meet and greet, I gather all the information needed in order to keep their routine as close as possible to their current routine.
“My GRIM just stayed with Aubrey today and I am not waiting to write a review! I am so so happy he got to experience a great play day with her and her dog after our last experience with another sitter a few weeks ago. I will definitely be reaching out to Aubrey every time I need a sitter from now on! She had no issues watching my pitbull breed. She fed him and gave me the food back that he didn’t eat instead of leaving me wondering how much he had ate. She sent me multiple pictures throughout the day. She had all of his stuff ready to go when I got there to pick him up. She had a clean and very spacious fenced back yard for them to run around in all day. She and her family were very friendly and welcoming. I could not have asked for anything more!”
About: I’ve spent my entire life caring for and loving animals. I was farm raised so my love for animals stretches beyond just cats and dogs. I have had experience with all ages of animals from newborns to seniors in their last stages of life. In the last few years I’ve fostered many animals in hopes of giving them a second chance at life. My pets are my family and I’ll ensure your pets feel welcome and safe with me too! I work from home allowing me to be with the pets almost all the time. I am able to accommodate almost any food or potty schedule, helping pets feel less stressed and in a familiar routine. I have a large fenced yard and two very sweet dogs to keep your pets entertained. We also have a cat who sticks to herself but who also isn’t afraid of new animals. We have 3 children from age 8-16. I can accommodate most schedules including feedings, walking, potty breaks, medicines or any other special needs that your pet might have. Do not hesitate to ask if your pet has special diets, treatments or routines to see if we can make it work.
About: I’ve been around pets for as long as I can remember. We cared for multiple dogs and cats as I was growing up so I have a lot of experience. I currently have an Alaskan malamute and two kitties that I’ve raised since they were only weeks old so I have experience with puppies and kittens. I am currently between jobs so I have plenty of time to care for your pet :). I am available any day of the week and have some availability on select holidays as well. I have a lot of space for your pet to romp around! I have a crate available as well in case it’s necessary. I have two kitties and a dog of my own so your pet will never be lonely!
“Sarah and family were so warm and inviting! They treated our dog like one of their own. We have planned for him to stay an entire week with them when we are away on vacation. We trust them fully!”
About: Ive been doing Rover now for almost 2 years and it has brought me so much joy and new friends! I worked a summer at kc zoo and it was the most fun job I have ever had. I've had dogs and cats my whole life. Also around horses from my uncle. I have adopted all of my animals from shelters. I love my dogs and cats like they are family. I have a teenage son I have to keep out of petco or any other animal place otherwise he wants to bring all the animals home, joking but not completely untrue. It's how we ended up with our Kitty Maisey. We even took care of the class's bearded dragon over spring break during Covid. He will come along on visits if available as he is the animal whisperer and wants to be a vet. Our 2 dogs are Dottie (our adopted covid pointer mix pup who is the sweetest girl and loves to have visitors to play with), and Marley who is our very sweet, laid back senior dog. Both our pups were rescues. Marley is afraid of thunderstorms and fireworks so we sre familliar with giving medications and making dogs feel safe and comfortable. Dottie is allergic to something during the late summer and September month and takes medicine for that allergy at that time. We believe in treats but only rawhide free and dental bones. Please bring your own food and treats and let me know if you prefer not to share our treats. We also have 2 cats that are used to dogs and in fact think that each dog is their mommy since we got them as kittens and have an attachment to their respective dog mommy. You will even find cats and dogs snuggling together on the bed. Or Moose playing with Dottie in his tunnel. I have had animals with special needs from a diabetic cat that I gave insulin injections to treating animals with special needs. I live right down the street from a great dog park here in belton. We would love to take any new friends to visit. Please let me know if you prefer them not to go to the dog park and we can stay here and play. We have a fenced back yard but one side is only 4 ft. I work from home as a director so I have a very flexible schedule. My son does play competitive soccer so sometimes weekends have us at soccer field for about 2 hours. I have a fenced yard 3 sides are 6 foot privacy and one has a 4 foot chain link. I follow my client's care directions in their homes.
About: I have much experience with all types of dogs, bigger pups like German Shepherds, or smaller pups like Yorkies! As well as many other breeds. I have handled reactive dogs, leash pullers, and lazy ones! Happy to help whoever I can! I’m a new stay at home mom, so getting out and getting fresh air during the day while you work, or keeping an eye on them while you’re away is perfect for me!

As well as a beautiful neighborhood for walks! Can crate pups if needed!

She interacted sweetly and patiently with my very excited pup. She showed up on time for the booking and followed all instructions given. I hope to be able to call on her for help again in the future!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes big and small. My aunt would go on vacations and leave me with the dogs. I’m good with high energy dogs and calm dogs. I would also love to take pictures of your animal to send during my time with them! I work night shift so I go in about 3pm and all morning I would be available to take care of dogs which would work for a lot of people considering they work during the day I have a big back yard that I could take them on a walk around if need be, my bathtub is pretty decent size if baths are needed.

If I were to go into someone else’s home I would leave things just as they are and make sure the pet is comfortable and content to the owners likes and needs
About: I have lots of experience with dogs of all ages! My dog Prada is a Rottweiler mix and she is almost 8 years old. She is super calm and chill! We also have two other family dogs, Kova (6 yr old lab mix) and Crimson (8 yr old Pomsky). They keep us on our toes and have very different personalities! Kova is very timid and scared of most things! Her fear comes out in aggression and has taught me patience in dealing with her fearful behavior. Crim is very hyper and full of energy! He is becoming blind with his old age and is teaching us a lot about working with a dog that has extra needs. Along with my family dogs I have experience dog sitting for friends and neighbors and volunteering with shelters. I think I have great experience with different dog breeds, ages and personalities. I would love to meet and take care of your pup! I am currently available most days and times to care for your pets. I am very flexible and can work around different schedules. I am very laid back and would love a last minute request to visit with your furry friends! I do have lots of experience with cats and dogs as well as experience volunteering at a pit-bull rescue walking the dogs. I learned safety in walking and behavior. I am cautious in checking that all doors and gates are closed as well as checking and being aware of my surroundings.

About: Hi! I’ve been around animals my entire life and grew up on a farm caring for many different animals. I currently foster dogs and provide them with a safe, loving home. I have a fenced backyard and a well-trained guide dog, Daisy, who helps new dogs feel calm and assists with potty training. I work part-time with a flexible schedule, allowing me to be home often and respond quickly to any needs or emergencies. I’m a Rover sitter offering doggy daycare with weekday and weekend availability. Please feel free to message me if you’re interested! I'm working part time right now, so my animals learned to be crate trained and potty trained very quickly. I always make time for my babies. My job is very laid back so i can come home for any emergencys. I provide attentive, personalized care based on each pet’s routine, age, and energy level. In my home, pets are cared for in a safe, structured, and loving environment with supervised playtime, regular potty breaks, enrichment activities, and plenty of rest. I follow all feeding schedules and instructions provided by the owner and reinforce positive behaviors such as potty training and crate comfort when appropriate. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their established routines to maintain consistency. This includes feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medication administration if needed, and providing updates and photos to keep owners informed and reassured.
About: I have had pets my whole life up! I'm a full time stay at home mom with 3 kiddos (2 in school and 1 not in school cause shes a baby!) I am looking to earn a little pocket change while hopefully helping someone out with their fur babies. Most times I will have to come with my baby in her carrier for now, but certain times I may be able to work around that, so please dont hesitate to ask! I am willing to travel as far as Kansas City/Overland Park, Pittsburg, and Joplin/Springfield, or basically within an hour and half for house sitting. As a mom I am not able to stay in your home for house sitting, I could consider pet care inside my home on a case-by-case basis. For daily walks, we will have to agree on a price if its farther than Nevada, El Dorado Springs. I live on a few acres with cats, a dog, chickens, and ducks. I have experience with a lot of different types of animals as well including fish and smaller caged critters. I have experience working with service dogs as well. If you have any questions, please reach out! Im super flexible and would love to be able to help you any way that I can. I am a stay at home mom with 2 of 3 kiddos in school. My schedule is very open. Whatever work you're needing with your animals, please reach out. Animal care in my home will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Animal care in your home will be as requested by you. I typically could not do overnight care as I've got kiddos in school and will most likely have to travel a bit to help you with your animals, but on weekends or breaks I can consider it.
About: I truly believe pets become very lonely when left at home. Animals need fresh air and lots of love and play time. I currently have two very loving, playful 2 year old Bichons, and I love them dearly. I would be overjoyed to get paid for playing/walking/tending to your pet while you are away (: thank you so much for considering me! I’m currently working part-time on, but I have a free and flexible schedule for your pet needs on Thursdays and Fridays, along with the weekends. I can be as flexible as needed because I know every pet differs. I have two fur babies at home and will soon have a fence. I am able to crate your animal at night if I’m providing pet sitter services, and I’m also able to provide updates as frequently as you would like. I love to be active and be outside, so walks are no problem either.
About: I love dogs, they are phenomenal and loving, it just seemed to fit that the understanding of dog behavior was the next step. I've been caring for dogs in my neighborhood and advising pup parents on their dog behavior and offering insight for years. I have three beautiful dogs that are all off leash trained and positive behavior trained. Our fur friends are not pets they are companions. I can't wait to meet your companion! Working on opening a non profit for abandoned dogs currently. Let me help you and your fur pets make those memories by making things a little bit easier while your not, at home. Let's talk about what you need. What are you waiting for? Let's discuss what you need, thanks for your consideration. The schedule is fairly flexible obviously preplanning is important to all involved, especially our pups. Let's discuss what you need to see what we can come up with. We have play time outside and inside. That includes mental stimulation with toys, tricks and treats. Meal time and rest time either indoor or out door up to the dogs preference.
About: I have worked with dogs and cats my whole life and love every minute of it! Aside from pet sitting for various friends and neighbors, I have worked at the vet for 3 years and have experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments. I am also comfortable giving any prescribed medications, insulin injections, or supplements they might require. I have moved to Kansas city temporarily and am giving veterinary clinic work a break for a bit so I have open availability during the week! Between volunteering at shelters and working at the vet I have been well trained in pet safety and precautions to take to ensure that no pet gets loose or harmed. While walking your fur baby they will always be on a double leash with me to ensure their safety in any event and precautions will be taken during any interaction with other dogs (if that is something you would like to allow).

“Dexter and Eddy had one of the most wonderful stay. They came home happy, tired, and clearly well-loved. The sweetest touch? They gave both pups a puppy cup and even sang "Happy Birthday" to Dexter for his special day! 🎂 It meant the world to see how much they cared. Both boys were all tail wags and smiles the entire time. Thank you again for making Dexter’s birthday so memorable and for taking such great care of our boys.”
“Sean and Jolene are basically the VIP concierge service of pet sitting. Honestly, we couldn’t ask for more unless they also started doing laundry and cooking us dinner. It’s incredibly comforting to go on vacation knowing your fur babies are living their best lives—probably better than you are—getting loved, spoiled, and treated like tiny, furry royalty. Meanwhile, you’re out here hoping your hotel towels are as fluffy as your dog’s emotional support blanket. They truly are amazing… and at this point, I’m not entirely convinced my pets even miss me.”
“A wonderful loving environment, where I could leave my furry friend and know she was being well taken care of. I highly recommend Karly and her family.. our teenage children adored my dog and even allowed her to sleep with them, just like she does at home.”
“We have found the one!! Samantha and her family took in our dog as one of their own. He was so happy while we were gone and that gave us great peace of mind. We will definitely use Samantha again.”
“Our two large dogs stayed over night two days with Allen & Kella and they did great! It was nice to video and picture updates on their stay. Allen is a great communicator and answered all my questions quickly.”

“Kaitie was so welcoming to my dog and accommodating! My pup came back happy and worn out (haha thankfully). I absolutely recommend her and will to any of my friends who need pet sitting. Thank you Kaitie!”
“We had such a great experience with Dana! She was super dependable and easy to communicate with the whole time. We tossed a few curveballs her way, like meds and the fact that Dante is a newly adopted shelter dog with limited history, and she handled it all with total flexibility and care. Her place is such a great setup for dogs, and her two pups are so sweet and well-behaved. Dante clearly had an awesome time and came home happy. Would definitely recommend Dana to anyone looking for a great sitter!”
“Hari and her Husband with absolutely wonderful with my Kota boy, as well as there pup Symba. Hari kept me updated all day throughout every day the whole time Kota was there. I received pictures and videos as well!!! If you are looking for some where for your pup to go whether its for a day or a week. I would 100% recommend Hari as a sitter!! 😁”
“Aubrey communicated everyday and was personable. So glad I was able to find her near my neck of the woods. Rosie was spoiled daily with love and sun. Thank you so much Aubrey, Rosie will be back again!”
“I would leave Tony any day with Jessica. We had a wonderful experience with Jessica! She was so kind and updated me often on what Tony was doing everyday. Tony has difficulty eating on his own and also he barks whenever he hears any sounds. I'm so happy that she worked with him and addressed them really well to train Tony to not do those. I don't know how many sitters does this but I really felt Jessica took care of our Tony really well and I'm grateful that she took care of Tony.”
“I highly recommend Alesha. We have used her services two times now very very pleased. Her process to qualify your dog before she even accepts them as a client is impressive. It shows that she is very passionate about animals and there well being. We will use her services again hands down.”
“Amelia was a great host. She accommodated to my Rocky's needs and sent lots of pictures. Rocky had a great time with Kelce, Bella and other pups! I highly recommend her for her kindness, space and homey feel! I plan for Rocky to stay with her in the future again! Thank you for taking care of my baby ❤️”
“Kelci took such great care of Leo! I instantly felt comfortable leaving him with her and she shared pictures and videos of him living his best life at their home. He played a ton, got loved on, and had all his needs taken care of. We will absolutely book with Kelci again!!”
“Elizabeth did an AMAZING job with my dog Karma. Karma loved playing with the 3 other dogs in the house. She took great care of Karma and she didn’t want to leave when I picked her up, lol. I would definitely recommend using Elizabeth to watch your fur babies. 10/10.”
“Kirsten did a great job taking care of my dog. She gets anxious at times, but Kirsten made great efforts making her feel at home. Kirsten was also flexible allowing my friend to pick up my dog. I highly recommend Kirsten.”
