About: I’ve been caring for and working with dogs for over 6 years, from puppies and high-energy dogs to large breeds and dogs with very different personalities and needs. My professional experience in dog training has given me the opportunity to work with dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments, and I’m comfortable handling everything from an energetic walk to a dog who simply wants to relax and have some company. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each dog as an individual and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m attentive to routines, boundaries, and the little details that help dogs feel at ease in a new environment. Whether your dog loves a long walk, needs some extra patience, or is happiest curled up beside someone, I’m happy to meet them where they are. I work from home every day, so pet care fits naturally into my routine. Dogs staying with me will have someone around throughout the day, with plenty of opportunities for potty breaks, walks, playtime, and attention. I’m also able to keep a consistent routine and give each dog the individual care they’re used to. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely get outside for potty breaks and supervised playtime. I prioritize a calm, secure environment and follow each pet’s individual routine, feeding instructions, and house rules. My experience working with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments also means I’m comfortable recognizing when a dog needs space, extra supervision, or a little time to settle in. I’m happy to use crates or separate spaces when needed and will always prioritize your dog’s safety and comfort.
About: I’ve been taking care of pets my entire life. From my own dogs as a child to helping friends and neighbors take care of theirs, I have over 40 years of experience, taking care for babies. Currently, I have a bernadoodle, a boxer, and a pug. We’ve had many boxers over the years. I’ve taken care of puppies all the way through senior dogs. i’m comfortable giving medication’s and taking care of your fur babies as if they were my own. I am a teacher. The dogs are alone between 6 and 7 hours on a weekday. I typically leave food down, but this can be modified if need be. I have an acre fenced in backyard so there is room for them to run and play. The dogs are never outside unattended. Our dogs sleep with us. Taking care of an extra pet or a few extras is no problem at all! I have an acre yard that can be gated off into 2 separate yards. If your baby is nervous we can five them their own space to play and run.I love dogs of all sizes and breeds. Our dogs are very gentle and different sizes. When your dog is on our care we will make sure it is safe and feels comfortable. I have space to keep dogs separate if needed. My goal is to welcome your pet into our pack and treat them like family!

“Watched my two cats for three days while I was on vacation. They’re usually pretty shy with new people but they loved her! Will definitely be asking her to watch them again in the future.”


“If I could leave Marianna a 500 star review, that still wouldn’t be enough. I needed last minute care due to a medical emergency, and she not only accommodated my need with less than 18 hours notice, but she did so with a level of care for my kitties that I have never experienced before. Within 15 minutes of her arrival, I had photos and videos of all of my babies (which is no small feat in itself), and she continued to provide multiple updates, photos, and videos. She was so so so loving and gentle with my kitties, stayed with them all day and overnight, and gave me the comfort and reassurance I was desperately needing. I will absolutely be hiring her every time I need a sitter moving forward (hopefully sans the hospital stay and ideally for a fun getaway instead). Thank you so much, Marianna. There are not enough ways to express my gratitude!”

About: Growing up at a house where we treated our furry friends like family has taught me the best way to grow connection with any animal. Currently, I do work full-time in the city so coming home to your furry friend so they have someone to spend Time would work best with me.

Additionally, I’ve been a volunteer at Unchained Melodies puppy nursery and KC Pet Project for the last few years <3 I’m currently a post-graduate student preparing for medical school here in a year so I have a lot of time for longer term pups. I’m preparing for work part-time as well in the fall but I have a very open and flexible schedule. I have helped dog sit for years now and of course I’ve taken care of my own dogs since they were just babies. Unfortunately, I’m unable, for the most part, to have animals stay at my house however, I’m open if necessary. I walk and feed my own dogs daily and they take a lot of space so I want them to feel comfortable in their own environment.

“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.”

“Aside from being great with our dogs, I have to compliment Grant on his communication. He responded to all of my messages promptly and professionally and kept me in the loop during my 2 dogs stay. It really helped put me at ease about their first stay. My dogs came home calm and tired which tells me they had a great fun time with him. Thanks, Grant!”

“Shawn is amazing with my dog Riley. Riley can be very anxious around new people, but she took to Shawn very quickly. He was helpful and patient throughout the whole process, from the meet and greet through the first daycare session. He sent me photos and updates throughout the day to let me know she was doing well. She was very happy when I picked her up! As long as Shawn is dog sitting, he will be in my go-to dog sitter!”


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.

“Ashley is great! Our dog, Arlo, is a 75lb, 8 month old puppy and while he is the goofiest, most loving guy...he can also be a pain in the butt sometimes.

I’m used to high energy dogs in life, but welcome the old man energy as Todd is now 9, we don’t mind lounging around as well. Todd is not aggressive in any way and perfectly house trained. I would expect similar attitude from any dogs or pups we are joining. I have house trained many puppies and Even a grown dog and am willing to assist, but would expect additional compensation.

We can use crates if needed, but my dogs have ability to move about the home.

“We love her! Our boys have stayed with Mackenzie twice and each stay has been perfect. Shes prompt on communication, sends pictures and updates, and makes us feel comfortable with leaving them while we’ve had trips. Highly recommend!”

“Nicole was great! Super responsive, even on short notice, as we had just learned about Rover.com. We were able to set up our booking & begin it within a few hours. Received pictures & reassuring texts from Nicole periodically through the entire booking. Will definitely use her in the future!”


“This was our fist time boarding our dogs. They did great and loved Joseph. He made them feel comfortable right away. They came back happy and tired. Would definitely recommend Joseph.”


About: I’ve been caring for and working with dogs for over 6 years, from puppies and high-energy dogs to large breeds and dogs with very different personalities and needs. My professional experience in dog training has given me the opportunity to work with dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments, and I’m comfortable handling everything from an energetic walk to a dog who simply wants to relax and have some company. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each dog as an individual and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m attentive to routines, boundaries, and the little details that help dogs feel at ease in a new environment. Whether your dog loves a long walk, needs some extra patience, or is happiest curled up beside someone, I’m happy to meet them where they are. I work from home every day, so pet care fits naturally into my routine. Dogs staying with me will have someone around throughout the day, with plenty of opportunities for potty breaks, walks, playtime, and attention. I’m also able to keep a consistent routine and give each dog the individual care they’re used to. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely get outside for potty breaks and supervised playtime. I prioritize a calm, secure environment and follow each pet’s individual routine, feeding instructions, and house rules. My experience working with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments also means I’m comfortable recognizing when a dog needs space, extra supervision, or a little time to settle in. I’m happy to use crates or separate spaces when needed and will always prioritize your dog’s safety and comfort.
About: I’ve been taking care of pets my entire life. From my own dogs as a child to helping friends and neighbors take care of theirs, I have over 40 years of experience, taking care for babies. Currently, I have a bernadoodle, a boxer, and a pug. We’ve had many boxers over the years. I’ve taken care of puppies all the way through senior dogs. i’m comfortable giving medication’s and taking care of your fur babies as if they were my own. I am a teacher. The dogs are alone between 6 and 7 hours on a weekday. I typically leave food down, but this can be modified if need be. I have an acre fenced in backyard so there is room for them to run and play. The dogs are never outside unattended. Our dogs sleep with us. Taking care of an extra pet or a few extras is no problem at all! I have an acre yard that can be gated off into 2 separate yards. If your baby is nervous we can five them their own space to play and run.I love dogs of all sizes and breeds. Our dogs are very gentle and different sizes. When your dog is on our care we will make sure it is safe and feels comfortable. I have space to keep dogs separate if needed. My goal is to welcome your pet into our pack and treat them like family!
“Wonderful pet sitting from Noreen and her family. They picked up my doggy and dropped him off as well as sent me many photos and updates. I would definitely book with them again. My doggy was well kept, clean and happy upon return. Thank You!”

“I have a 6yo Olde English Bulldogge named Decimus. I went on a Family Retreat to Gatlinburg, Tn. for a week. I was unaware the place booked did not allow pets. I booked Christine to watch my furbaby. She did a most excellent job taking care of him & with his special instructions. Daily updates with several pictures. I highly recommend! 5 stars definitely.”

“Cheyanne and her boys were amazing! We left our 7 year old golden doodle Chuck in their care. We were so nervous leaving him behind while we went on a Christmas roadtrip and Cruise, but knew it was necessary. Cheyenne sent videos and pictures while we traveled and even when we're not accessible. When we were able to use our phones again a video of them singing him Happy Birthday. My face lit up! If ever I need someone to look after Chuck I will go directly to Cheyanne. I highly recommend this family to take help care for your pets when you need to get away.”

“Thanks for taking care of my puppies, Shawn. I appreciate the professional approach to their care, your communication and the pictures. You will be caring for my puppies again for sure.”

“Our doggies had a great stay with Seth and Sumer. This was our first time using Rover and Seth and Sumer made it a great experience. I was glad not to have to leave my dogs at a kennel. They kept us updated with picture and about how the dogs were doing. They gave our dogs the care they needed, exercise, lots of fun and cuddles! Thank you so much!!”
