“Derrika and her family are so sweet and amazing. Kiki might like them more than me! She has the best time when she says with Derrika, cannot reccomend more! Derrika will send all the cute pictures and you won't worry in the slightest. Book her immediately!”
“Nicole was wonderful! She provided excellent communication throughout our trip and sent photos, which gave me great peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our dog was well cared for, and having fun. In fact, when he came home, he cried because he missed his new friends and the environment he had grown so attached to. We couldn’t ask for a better indication of how happy and comfortable he was in her care. Highly recommend!”
“Shannon was incredible!! My 20 month old Goldendoodle, Cali, had a wonderful time staying with Shannon for four nights. She did all of Cali's favorite things-playing ball, daily walks, cuddling & spending lots of time together! She has a Goldendoodle named Hunter & the two of them got along great. Shannon sent lots of wonderful pictures & it was obvious that she cared for Cali as if she were her own! We will definitely be back & HIGHLY recommend Shannon. She's awesome!”
“She was great with my two dogs! My dogs were very anxious at the start of their stay since it was their first time being boarded and she was very comforting to them and me! Thank you Olga!”
“Cooper’s home away from home! Cassie is great about sending regular updates and I can tell Cooper loves it there 😊 definitely our go-to when we’re out of town and can’t take Cooper with us!”
“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!”
“This was our first time using Rover and we couldn't be happier. We received daily updates and pictures. Our two dogs were happy and tired when we picked them up. Thank you Gloria and Griffin for making this such a positive experience for all of us. We truly appreciate the care and attention you gave Oliver and Bear.”
“This was my husband and I's first time ever using Rover or dropping off our dog Teddy with someone else, and we were both very happy with Bridget's service! She really kept us at ease and I could tell that she is fantastic with dogs and treats them like their own. When we picked Teddy up he was super happy and even made some other friends while he was there. I would definitey recommend Bridget, and we already plan on using her again soon!”
“Tasha did a wonderful job with my Milo. He’s a nervous pup with some anxiety and she did really good with helping him to feel comfortable. She sent multiple pictures throughout the day each day and loved on him.”
“Chrissy was amazing! This was our first time using Rover and we were a little nervous. Chrissy sent us pictures and made sure she knew all of Gypsy's quirks so she could take care of her. She also was very flexible as our plans changed due to a death in the family. I would 100% reccomend her.”
“Kristy was amazing!! She sent pictures and updates everyday and was very communicative. She took our pups on an adventure and even went the extra mile and gave one of them a bath. Ranger and Koda had a great time and will definitely be visiting again!!”
“Rhiannon and Rachel took great care of Carson. Communication was excellent. Drop off and pick up went smoothly. Looking forward to using them again!”
“Shawn did a great job looking after my 2 special needs kiddos. They are seniors, who are insulin dependent and that can be tricky for sitters. I would trust him to take great care of them any time!”
“Chloé took amazing care of our pup. She was quick in communicating and sent us lots of photos and updates!! I would rebook Chloé in a heartbeat and I trust her completely with our dog.”
“Stevie was very kind, had a wonderful place for the dogs to stay, & was very accommodating on drop off & pick up times. I would definitely recommend her.”
“Jay took great care of our dog. He sent us an update with a picture to let us know how she was doing. She got lots of snuggles during her stay and came home happy. We would definitely consider using Jay as a sitter again.”
“Stephanie was quick responder and saved us from a very stressful last minute cancellation from another sitter. She sent lots of pics and updates from the weekend, putting as at ease. Would highly recommend her! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Upon the first conversation and meeting, she made us feel comfortable and we knew our fur baby would be safe and well cared for. Being out of the country for 3 weeks, we needed no worries and Saige delivered! When we picked up Mali, she looked happy and loved. We will definitely be using her again. Thank you!”

“Rachel did an amazing job taking care of our cats while we were away! I enjoyed the detailed Rover cards she would fill out and all the pictures. She went above and beyond to follow the directions I left. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again in the future!”
“Lulu is awesome with our kitties. She always goes above and beyond to ensure they are happy and adjusting well while we are gone. She updates us regularly which helps to ease our minds too. She is the best!!”
“Arabella was super responsive and communicative while checking on my kitties. She sent lots of videos and pictures that helped ease my traveling anxiety and let me know they were in good hands. Would absolutely recommend her services to anyone looking for a great sitter!”
“Amanda is the best! I get so nervous leaving our cats behind, but Amanda looked after them like they were her own. She went above and beyond and we are so thankful for her! We could not recommend Amanda highly enough.”
“Connie was the best. At our first meeting, my cat Smokey came right up to her like they were old friends. He is reserved with some. My independent Oreo accepted her in her own way and both happily greeted her every day. To maintain his routine, Connie spent time with Smokey playing catch the Greenies which he is used to playing every day. She brought in my mail and watered some of my outdoor plants to keep them from getting crispy during the heat and drought.”
“Absolutely amazing! I couldn’t recommend Cheyenne more. She’s caring thoughtful and has amazing attention to detail. My one baby cat was more social with her than I’m used to seeing with others! I absolutely plan on booking with her again! Thank you again Cheyenne!!”
“Madeline was incredible with my sweet kitty! The time she spent with her and the care provided was so comforting! I've already booked Madeline again. So happy!”
“Kellen did an amazing job watching our two dogs, Lucky and Chewy, while we were on vacation for about 4 days. He took excellent care of them the whole time — fed them properly and spent a lot of time playing with them so they stayed happy and active. We could tell they were well looked after and content when we got back. He even went above and beyond by bringing our trash can out to the street for us because we had forgotten to do it before we left. That little extra bit of help really meant a lot. Highly recommend Kellen — he’s reliable, caring, and thoughtful!”
“Meggie was our first time using Rover and I was a nervous wreck about it but Meggie is the reason I feel comfortable now. She follows and listens about your pets from my most rambunctious Judas to my sweet quiet Yoruichi. Let's not forget her great communication while we were away and sent plenty of photos to make sure my heart could take being so far away. Thank you Meggie and please don't ever change but only become better!”
“Elise was great. I didn't worry about our kitties during our trip. She sent pictures of them every day and they always looked happy and content. Thanks for doing a great job Elise!”
“Olga was fantastic! Our cats typically do not do very well with temporary changes in their environment and have not done well when boarded previously. Olga sent us regular updates and photos of them and it was very clear that they got much more comfortable staying with her after a short adjustment period. Can not recommend her enough! We will absolutely bring our pets back to her in the future any time they need to be boarded! Thank you so much for taking such great care of our boys Olga!!!”
“Caitlin was wonderful! She sent pics everyday. She played with my furry girls from toys in their toy box! I really appreciated the time and connectivity she spent with my pets. Definitely going to call on her again!”
About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong dog lover with over 12 years of experience caring for dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and attention. I specialize in caring for pets in their own home, where they feel the most comfortable and secure. I do my best to keep your pets routine as consistent and comfortable as I can while you’re away! I’m respectful, clean, and treat every home with care, and I know how important it is to trust the person staying in your space. You can expect consistent communication, regular updates, and plenty of photos so you always know how your pet is doing. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or just having someone nearby, I tailor my care to their personality and needs so they feel safe, relaxed, and well-loved the entire time. I’m here to make being away from your pet as easy and worry-free as possible! I am fully available at the moment! I love animals and think this would be a great way to spend my time while supplementing my income. I care for peoples pets by doing exactly as their owners have taught me. I want the animals I care for to feel comfortable and as if their owner isn’t away.
About: I have been a foster mom and adopter for 18 years. I fostered 50 dogs through a local rescue group. We have had 7 dogs, all but 1 are/ were snow dogs. I'm a part-time small animal physical therapist at ARC where we teach agility and obedience, help rehabilitate cats and dogs with injuries and provide quality of life rehab for seniors or the terminally ill. We took our last babies before they passed to ARC for quality of life, they had degenerative myelopathy and kidney disease, respectively. I fell in love with the place and became a PT. I have a soft spot for senior dogs, they deserve all the spoiling to make their golden years filled with love, comfort and adventure. To me dogs are equal to people and should be treated even better. I have a fenced in back yard and a home made for dogs. We have a four seasons room with a dog door to use. I split the house up according to where your dog is most comfortable while I'm out. We never miss our morning walk. In the summer we take dogs swimming at my in-law's pool 20 minutes in Blue Springs. We also have kiddie pools and a sandbox to discover toys. They can sleep in the bedroom, family room or patio room. If they are kennel training then in their kennel of course, which is in the very comfortable dog room. I am able to administer all types of medication, whether it be oral, injectable, or IV fluids. I am able to do dog CPR, we are also 5 minutes from our vet as well. My home is the ideal vacation spot for your furry friend. About this sitter: I'm a licensed Esthetician and have an in-home spa. I work at ARC part-time, just three afternoons a week. Clearly, I'm a huge dog lover. We previously fostered around 50 dogs for Furry Kids' Refuge. It is my life's work to stop puppy mills. I'm a very active person and enjoy outdoor activities. I live my life for my family and my dogs. "Be the person your dog thinks your are." Boone Pickens. Why I love dog sitting Ever since, I was a child I grew up loving dogs and wanting to stop puppy mills. I always knew I wanted to work with animals in some kind of capacity. I worked on Proposition B with the Humane Society of America. I want to help people feel confident leaving their pets when away from home. About my yard I have a 1/3 acre yard fenced all the way around. We have lots of trees and outdoor dog beds to hang out on under the hammocks. We have lots of squirrels to watch and all of our neighbors have dogs. We have a small wrap around deck that connects to our 4 seasons patio room with a dog door. My experience administering medication I am trained in dispensing all types of medicine; whether it be oral or injectable. I'm also able to do IV fluids and CPR. Your dog(s) will be a part of my family while you are away. They will go about their day doing what they normally do at home. They will be free to play and not be cooped up like at a daycare or vet facility. We have a million toys to play with and a nice neighborhood to walk in and lots of places to nap. We currently have two dogs, they both came from difficult situations, but they love to play with other dogs, it's people that can be intimidating. They prefer people that bring dogs in the house. We do slow introductions. We start with a walking meet and greet around the neighborhood and then we come in the backyard with your dog off-leash to smell and then they can all meet slowly. If all the dogs like each other then I do like a day visit if you will be gone more than a few days, so that your dog is comfy here. If you will be gone more than 2 weeks I recommend a night stay beforehand. I work part-time from home in my spa and part time at ARC on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday afternoon. We walk every morning and most days I head to the gym after. Perfect time for the dogs to decompress in their own areas and nap. I have a nice fenced in yard with locks on the gates. All dogs are separated by gates and have their own comfortable spaces with multiple rooms. All dogs are fed separately for safety.
About: Extremely reliable with above reproach follow through and communication. I will regularly provide updates with photos. Have cared for senior dogs needing medicine. Driven by ensuring your dogs feel safe and cared for. I have open availability to care for your animals needs at almost any time. Send me a message with abnormal requests and I am certain we can find a solution. I can provide either a private or communal space for your dog to interact with ours to ensure a safe and fun environment for all. We carefully introduce each new dog and keenly watch for behavior changes.

“Derrika is FANTASTIC!!! She and her family are so incredibly friendly, kind and warm hearted. On the first day that Yogi (my doggo) was there he warmed up immediately - this was so easy for him as he knows & trusts great people. I got several lovely pictures - one of which was Yogi on her couch resting his head on her son’s legs. Yogi doesn’t do this unless he is very chill. You & your doggo will be grateful that you found her!!”
“Amazing. Sylveena is wonderful. She fit me in last minute and my Snick loved being there. She sent plenty of photos and most of all my baby slept like a baby when I picked her up. Sylveena is great and I will definitely book with her again.”
“Caitlin took great care of our Corgi and Cockapoo. The girls had the best time and were exhausted when we picked them up. We will definitely book with Caitlyn again.”
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: I have had dogs in my family since I was a child and have years of experience with various breeds. I work from home most days and happy to get active with the doggos. I have a loving a cuddly home and treat all my fur guests as family. As someone with a senior dog, I am very patient and know how to accommate the additional needs some pets may have. With my flexible work from home schedule, I am able to be home during the week, to take your dog out for walks, potty breaks, cuddle, and to play. I am also available on weekends. With the exclusion of running errands, while your dog is with me, they will never be left alone for more than a few hours extended amount of time. I have a fenced in back yard for your dog to run free in. I also have a senior chihuahua who is very chill and unbothered, so as long as your dog likes other dogs, they will get along just fine. I do let dogs sit on the couch and get on the bed, however, I will respect that boundary if you do not allow that for your pets. I know all families have different schedules for potty and feeding times, and my schedule is flexible so I can keep your dog on track even while you are gone.
“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!”
“We are so pleased with this outstanding service. Our puppy Buddy (18 month-old Newfiedoodle) totally enjoyed his experience with Shawn. He came home to us happy and went back to Shawn happily the next day. Shawn was a delight to work with. We’ll use his outstanding service again next time we’re in the KC area. Thanks so very much for making this a great experience.”
About: I currently work full-time at an animal shelter and have years of experience handling and training dogs and cats with a wide array of medical and behavioral needs. I also have extensive experience tending to a variety of other animals, from reptiles to small mammals to horses. I am comfortable administering oral and injectible meds, including subcutaneous fluids. I have worked with dogs who have different behavior backgrounds and am able to adjust how I interact with them to make sure I am able to keep everyone safe and comfortable. Compassionate care is at the center of what I do. Our animals are so much more than just pets. They are family members, they are best friends, they may be the only motivation we have to get out of bed on some days. I understand how important your pets are to you, and I strive to give them compassionate and attentive care, just as I would with my own pets. I look forward to taking care of your beloved family member! I work full time so I offer limited scheduling options, based on your needs and your dog's. I only work 4 days a week, so have much more flexibility Sunday-Tuesday. I also have the ability to utilize my lunch break to drop by in the middle of the day to let your dog out for a midday potty break and play session! I live in a home with a yard where your dog can have space to run or play in addition to daily walks. I also have a private room where your kitty or other animals could stay comfortably when they are here. At your home, I'm happy to share my space with your animals in whatever ways you allow, be it the sofa, the bed, or simply coexisting across a room!
“Great first day of hanging out at Savannah’s house. They have such a nice fenced in backyard. Can’t wait until the boys get introduced to the other dogs and get to play. Will be booking again, thank you!”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was just 7 years old. My passion is caring for others. I know how to work with dogs with emotional and behavioral issues. I know how to handle dogs even big dogs that pull on the leash. I can help keep training consistent. I run a home daycare and help care for my mom and homeschool my autistic 16 yo son. So I have a lot of time, room and love to give your doggies. I do have a dog and 2 cats of my own that don't get along so I have to switch out their living room social time and will ensure your animals has some social time as well. I am able to care for 3 more dogs at a time. I have a large basement with an unfinished room that I put a baby gate up for the door and I have 2 kennels. If I have 3 dogs at once I will rotate the dogs out to make sure that one does not have to stay in a kennel too long. I will ensure your doggy always has food and water available and frequent bathroom breaks with plenty of love and social time. I have a semi big yard with a 20 foot tie down lead to ensure your dog has enough room to run around but won't get away. I also have a small plastic kiddie pool I fill up for the doggies to get in and enjoy!
About: Moonbabies Little Lodge offers boutique home boarding designed especially for small dogs who enjoy a calm household environment. Your dog will stay in a cozy home setting with a small resident pack of friendly toy-breed dogs and plenty of supervised outdoor playtime in our secure backyard play yard. Our yard features enrichment areas just for small dogs, including ramps, tunnels, lounging spots, and shaded cabana areas where pups can relax between play sessions. In warm weather we even bring out a splash pad for dogs who enjoy cooling off. Inside the home, dogs are part of the family during the day and sleep comfortably in their own individual night pens with beds and toys for a peaceful evening routine. Because this is a small home environment, we typically host only 2–3 guest dogs at a time, allowing us to give each dog plenty of attention and supervision. This setup works best for dogs who: • are under about 20 lbs • are comfortable around other small dogs • are house trained • can relax calmly in a pen or crate if needed A meet-and-greet is required before first bookings to ensure everyone is a good fit. We look forward to welcoming your pup to Moonbabies Little Lodge — where little dogs have big fun. Caring for dogs is already part of my everyday life! Guest dogs join our calm daily small-dog household routine with supervised backyard playtime, indoor relaxation, naps, cuddles, and social interaction throughout the day. I keep my guest list intentionally small so each dog receives close supervision and personal attention in a comfortable home environment. Moonbabies Little Lodge is designed specifically for friendly small dogs. Dogs enjoy supervised play in a secure fenced backyard and are introduced gradually to maintain a calm group dynamic. Guest dogs are monitored closely and separated if needed for rest, meals, or quiet time. Overnight, dogs sleep safely in cozy individual pens with their own bedding, food, and water.
About: 🚨 ATTENTION: 25LB MAX WEIGHT LIMIT - For the safety of our small dog clients we exclusively accept dogs/puppies that are 25lbs or under. 🚨 If your furbaby fits into our small-dog boutique size bracket, we would absolutely love to host them for a premium, customized vacation! ✨ After years of specialized transport with Mother Nature's Express, I am bringing that same USDA-certified level of safety and care to Mother Nature’s Boarding—a dedicated sanctuary for your furbabies. Professional Pedigree & Expert Care: I am not just a pet lover; I am a career animal professional with a decade of high-stakes experience. My background as a retired USDA-certified animal transporter means I have spent years safely navigating the logistics of animal behavior and safety across the country. I’ve handled animals of all temperaments and sizes, ensuring their health and security while traveling state-to-state and staying in pet-friendly luxury environments. Your furbaby's safety is my absolute priority. I am Red Cross Animal CPR certified, and my home is run with the precision and cleanliness of a professional facility, but with the heart of a dedicated stay-at-home parent. The Boutique Environment: Because I am home 24/7, your dog receives constant companionship and expert monitoring. My specialized setup includes: A dedicated "Guest Suite" located upstairs with me, completely separate from my personal pets to ensure a zero-stress transition. Safety-First Rotations: Utilizing my professional handling skills to manage pack dynamics, ensuring every guest feels like the "only" dog in the room. Expert Medical Oversight: Comfortable and experienced in administering medications and managing strict health protocols. A Lifetime of Devotion: My life has been defined by the bond between humans and animals. While I have over 12 years of adult experience managing my own multi-pet household—including dogs and cats—my journey actually began 25 years ago when I welcomed my first cat at age four, followed by a trio of small-breed dogs just two years later. I grew up learning the unique nuances of small-breed personalities, which is why I now specialize in providing a "big-dog-free" sanctuary for your little ones. As a career animal professional, pet care isn't just a part of my routine—it's the center of it. My schedule is designed to provide 24/7 supervision and companionship for my guest dogs. Because I am home full-time, I can maintain strict, consistent schedules for feeding, potty breaks, and medications that mimic your furbaby's home environment perfectly. My week is built around 'Restful Rotations.' While my mornings and evenings are for structured care, the daytime is filled with enrichment and one-on-one attention in our dedicated upstairs boutique area. This setup allows me to give your pet the high-touch care they deserve without the chaos of a traditional kennel. I care for every guest with the same expert precision I used as a USDA-certified animal transporter. My home's layout has been designed for maximum safety: all guest dogs enjoy the entire main/upstairs floor as their private 'boutique' sanctuary, completely separate from my personal pets who reside in their own personal basement suite while guests are here. Safety is my absolute priority. I utilize: Rotation-Based Exercise: I rotate my own dogs before guests enter the fully fenced backyard, ensuring a stress-free environment. The Double-Leash Rule: For front-yard strolls, I strictly follow the USDA safety standard of two points of contact (harness and collar) to ensure your pet is 100% secure at all times. Crated Security: To prevent nighttime scuffles and ensure a restful sleep, all guests sleep in their own individual, cozy crates with fresh water and orthopedic bedding. (The same protocol follows for feeding times to ensure absolute safety while eating) Medical Peace of Mind: Being certified in Animal CPR, I am highly experienced in monitoring health and administering specialized care.
“Tricia was great with my two dogs. My boy had a blast playing with her dogs. My girl has separation anxiety and Tricia gave great ideas for future stays. She was quick to respond to messages and sent photos of the dogs playing. Will definitely book again!”

About: I've been around animals my whole life and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, medication, or simply providing companionship, I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I'm patient, dependable, and pay close attention to the little details that matter, from following feeding schedules and exercise routines to keeping water bowls full and giving plenty of affection. I'm comfortable caring for puppies, senior pets, energetic dogs, shy cats, and multi-pet households. My goal is simple: treat every pet like they're my own and give you peace of mind knowing they're in caring, reliable hands. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to be reliable and consistent for pet care. Whether it's a walk, drop-in visit, or spending quality time with your pet, I'm happy to work around their routine. I love being active and spending time with animals, so caring for pets is something I genuinely enjoy, not just a job. Every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and any special instructions before each visit. Whether I'm in your home or taking your dog for a walk, their safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I'll make sure they have fresh water, plenty of attention, exercise, and playtime while also respecting the routines they're used to. I keep owners updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I always treat both your pets and your home with the same care and respect I would my own. My goal is for your pets to feel comfortable, happy, and loved until you return.
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.
“Lulu has been wonderful! She has been walking my 10 month old puppy who was not great on a leash but seems to be doing well! My puppy cries for her when she drops her off! Lulu is very punctual and professional and has answered any questions I have. She also leaves a detailed report after each walk. I would highly recommend her!”
About: I have been a foster mom and adopter for 18 years. I fostered 50 dogs through a local rescue group. We have had 7 dogs, all but 1 are/ were snow dogs. I'm a part-time small animal physical therapist at ARC where we teach agility and obedience, help rehabilitate cats and dogs with injuries and provide quality of life rehab for seniors or the terminally ill. We took our last babies before they passed to ARC for quality of life, they had degenerative myelopathy and kidney disease, respectively. I fell in love with the place and became a PT. I have a soft spot for senior dogs, they deserve all the spoiling to make their golden years filled with love, comfort and adventure. To me dogs are equal to people and should be treated even better. I have a fenced in back yard and a home made for dogs. We have a four seasons room with a dog door to use. I split the house up according to where your dog is most comfortable while I'm out. We never miss our morning walk. In the summer we take dogs swimming at my in-law's pool 20 minutes in Blue Springs. We also have kiddie pools and a sandbox to discover toys. They can sleep in the bedroom, family room or patio room. If they are kennel training then in their kennel of course, which is in the very comfortable dog room. I am able to administer all types of medication, whether it be oral, injectable, or IV fluids. I am able to do dog CPR, we are also 5 minutes from our vet as well. My home is the ideal vacation spot for your furry friend. About this sitter: I'm a licensed Esthetician and have an in-home spa. I work at ARC part-time, just three afternoons a week. Clearly, I'm a huge dog lover. We previously fostered around 50 dogs for Furry Kids' Refuge. It is my life's work to stop puppy mills. I'm a very active person and enjoy outdoor activities. I live my life for my family and my dogs. "Be the person your dog thinks your are." Boone Pickens. Why I love dog sitting Ever since, I was a child I grew up loving dogs and wanting to stop puppy mills. I always knew I wanted to work with animals in some kind of capacity. I worked on Proposition B with the Humane Society of America. I want to help people feel confident leaving their pets when away from home. About my yard I have a 1/3 acre yard fenced all the way around. We have lots of trees and outdoor dog beds to hang out on under the hammocks. We have lots of squirrels to watch and all of our neighbors have dogs. We have a small wrap around deck that connects to our 4 seasons patio room with a dog door. My experience administering medication I am trained in dispensing all types of medicine; whether it be oral or injectable. I'm also able to do IV fluids and CPR. Your dog(s) will be a part of my family while you are away. They will go about their day doing what they normally do at home. They will be free to play and not be cooped up like at a daycare or vet facility. We have a million toys to play with and a nice neighborhood to walk in and lots of places to nap. We currently have two dogs, they both came from difficult situations, but they love to play with other dogs, it's people that can be intimidating. They prefer people that bring dogs in the house. We do slow introductions. We start with a walking meet and greet around the neighborhood and then we come in the backyard with your dog off-leash to smell and then they can all meet slowly. If all the dogs like each other then I do like a day visit if you will be gone more than a few days, so that your dog is comfy here. If you will be gone more than 2 weeks I recommend a night stay beforehand. I work part-time from home in my spa and part time at ARC on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday afternoon. We walk every morning and most days I head to the gym after. Perfect time for the dogs to decompress in their own areas and nap. I have a nice fenced in yard with locks on the gates. All dogs are separated by gates and have their own comfortable spaces with multiple rooms. All dogs are fed separately for safety.
“Olga always does a great job with my four dogs. Ivy has been even walking just with a collar and leash. Olga works on some of their training while she has them and my dogs have fun every week.”
“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!”
“Lillian was amazing! We usually board our two med/large dogs, but one got a mild respiratory infection right before a big trip and we needed someone responsible and caring to come in and walk, feed, love on them and give meds while we were gone for a week. We all loved Lillian from the moment we met her. Over the course of the week, she gave us such peace of mind with detailed notes and photos to let us know how they were doing. Everything went so smoothly and we were able to enjoy our trip, knowing our doggos were in good hands. Would pawsitively recommend Lillian anytime! 🐾”
About: I have experience in clinic and shelter environments, especially with fearful or reactive pets. I also have experience with exotic animals and have taken care of personal pets my entire life! I’m reliable for feeding, walking, medicating, providing enrichment, and more. I’m currently available mornings, evenings, and overnight. With notice, I can invite animal-friendly small/medium pets into my home. For larger pets or those who don’t enjoy animal company, I can do drop-ins or walks at your home! I have my own friendly dogs and cats in my home. The small animals in my home are kept in a separate room. I have a long leash to give your pup some playtime outside, or we can take good walks on a regular leash. I can crate, medicate, or provide enrichment for your pets as needed (with instructions), always with compassionate care.
About: My name is Jill and have been dog sitting for almost 12 years! For most of those years, dogs came to board at my home overnight. I created a full blown business and it was the most fun I've ever had with a job! But after having my human kiddos and adopting a special needs cat, I no longer offer in-home boarding. BUT I have happily pivoted to Drop-In Visits and Dog Walking during the morning and early afternoon! I am a stay at home mom and can have flexibility in my days. A little background: I am a Golden Retriever lover! We had my heart dog, Wallace, who hosted countless dogs at our house with me. He has recently passed and now we have Shadow; the most cuddly Golden I've ever met! We also have, Eugene, our Siamese special needs kitty who thinks he's a dog. My two kids and husband love helping me out with my animal adventures. If my criteria works for you, let me know! Thanks for looking at my profile and I will try to get back to you as soon as possible! -Jill I am a stay at home mom and a licensed massage therapist who works from a home office and makes my own schedule. My days are very flexible! I offer: feeding, bathroom breaks, walks outside, pets/snuggles, brushing, picking up poo, and giving oral meds. Let me know exactly what will make your pet comfortable during our visits!
“Elise has done a wonderful job with Bibbles. After having surgery and being unable to walk her as I usually do Elise stopped by and Bubbles got her outing/exercise! Very dependable, respectful and got along with Bubbles really well, will definitely have her as my go to for pet assistance in the future.”
“Just got back from my trip yesterday and Monet did a wonderful job with my Greta. She was patient and professional. She takes pet care very seriously and I’ve already booked her for my next trip.”
About: I am blessed with a sweet boy of my own and have had dogs in the house growing up. I have always had a natural touch with animals. For instance, my neighbor has a Saint Bernard who is not sure of humans in general but especially human males, however this dog becomes a giant puppy when I come around. I am a full time student doing school online so pet care can be done anytime in the mornings and afternoons and on any day except for Sundays. I have a fenced in yard at home, though I keep a watchful eye on my dog when he is outside. While inside, I keep anything that might catch his eye out of reach, and make sure he is always properly entertained. This happens to be easy for my dog since he loves antlers to chew on.
“Very nice lady! Dog loves her and we Hope to develop a long term relationship with Connie for my busy work days! When 10 minutes just cannot be interrupted. If he didn’t JUMP 3 ‘ fences with ease he’d have half an acre to play! Lol little champion”
About: I have had pet dogs my whole life. My husband and I currently have one large dog that loves being around other dogs. We are constantly at the dog park or going on walks and would love to take your fury friend with us! My husband has Sundays and Mondays off and I work split shift morning and evening during the week, meaning I can come home for walks and bathroom breaks throughout the day and am off on weekends. We live in an apartment that has a fenced in dog park and is right across from a nature trail. We go to the dog park and on walks everyday.
About: I've had experience with all age ranges, i've taken care of litters all the way to senior dogs. I have experience with multiple different breeds as well as many years of learning animal social cues. Im currently working full time as a nurse, but when I am not at work I would love to fill my time walking adorable doggos! I have cared for a variety of breeds and owned many different breeds. I am comfortable with all size breeds. Ive spent a lot of time learning from trainers and know what signs to look for in animals to sense their discomfort or anxiety. Ill keep your fur babies safe!
About: I currently work full-time at an animal shelter and have years of experience handling and training dogs and cats with a wide array of medical and behavioral needs. I also have extensive experience tending to a variety of other animals, from reptiles to small mammals to horses. I am comfortable administering oral and injectible meds, including subcutaneous fluids. I have worked with dogs who have different behavior backgrounds and am able to adjust how I interact with them to make sure I am able to keep everyone safe and comfortable. Compassionate care is at the center of what I do. Our animals are so much more than just pets. They are family members, they are best friends, they may be the only motivation we have to get out of bed on some days. I understand how important your pets are to you, and I strive to give them compassionate and attentive care, just as I would with my own pets. I look forward to taking care of your beloved family member! I work full time so I offer limited scheduling options, based on your needs and your dog's. I only work 4 days a week, so have much more flexibility Sunday-Tuesday. I also have the ability to utilize my lunch break to drop by in the middle of the day to let your dog out for a midday potty break and play session! I live in a home with a yard where your dog can have space to run or play in addition to daily walks. I also have a private room where your kitty or other animals could stay comfortably when they are here. At your home, I'm happy to share my space with your animals in whatever ways you allow, be it the sofa, the bed, or simply coexisting across a room!

“Shannon was incredible!! My 20 month old Goldendoodle, Cali, had a wonderful time staying with Shannon for four nights. She did all of Cali's favorite things-playing ball, daily walks, cuddling & spending lots of time together! She has a Goldendoodle named Hunter & the two of them got along great. Shannon sent lots of wonderful pictures & it was obvious that she cared for Cali as if she were her own! We will definitely be back & HIGHLY recommend Shannon. She's awesome!”

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was just 7 years old. My passion is caring for others. I know how to work with dogs with emotional and behavioral issues. I know how to handle dogs even big dogs that pull on the leash. I can help keep training consistent. I run a home daycare and help care for my mom and homeschool my autistic 16 yo son. So I have a lot of time, room and love to give your doggies. I do have a dog and 2 cats of my own that don't get along so I have to switch out their living room social time and will ensure your animals has some social time as well. I am able to care for 3 more dogs at a time. I have a large basement with an unfinished room that I put a baby gate up for the door and I have 2 kennels. If I have 3 dogs at once I will rotate the dogs out to make sure that one does not have to stay in a kennel too long. I will ensure your doggy always has food and water available and frequent bathroom breaks with plenty of love and social time. I have a semi big yard with a 20 foot tie down lead to ensure your dog has enough room to run around but won't get away. I also have a small plastic kiddie pool I fill up for the doggies to get in and enjoy!
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!
“Savannah did amazing!! Was very communicative and always sent updates. Was able to handle any issues, and was very fair in her pricing. Would highly recommend and would go back if ever in the area again:) And she has a great set up for pups!!!”
“Jessica is GREAT! We unexpectedly had to extend our time away from our pup due to cancelled flights, and she was so kind to continue to care for our girl for longer than initially planned. I know this cannot always be done, but I certainly appreciate her willingness to work with us & take great care of our pup while we were working to get home. Cannot recommend her enough 🙏🏼”
“Very thoughtful in getting to know Milo before he went to stay the night! I felt very good about leaving Milo with Susan and her family. I could tell they made him very comfortable!”
“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.”
