“Lindsay and her family are awesome! They have watched Sophia multiple times for up to 2 weeks. We have full trust that she will be cared for and thought of as one of the family. Lindsay’s home is always clean and organized. Sophia comes home happy and healthy every time!”
“Isha and Great took great care of our little dog recently. She came back happy and tired, which means they gave her a lot of love and attention. They also provided updates daily with photos. Highly recommend!”
“Bandit was so happy and calm when I picked him up. It was very clear he was comfortable and well taken care of! She took him on several walks and sent many pictures. He was a HAPPY BOY!!”
“This was our first time leaving our dog with a non-family member and I can't overstate how happy we were with Cathy. She sent us daily pictures with text updates as to how our dog was doing which put our minds at ease. From the time we met her we could just tell how much she loved animals. The most important thing is we are pretty sure that our dog enjoyed his stay. He did not come home stressed out as he has in the past from staying at other boarders. We think he almost misses playing and interacting with Cathy's other dog Maddie and the kids. We would and plan on using Cathy again in the future and would certainly recommend her to anyone.”
“Samantha was great!! I ran into many crises during my trip and luckily I didn’t have to worry about my boy at all. I could tell Samantha was very caring and knew I was having trouble, so she even went out her way to accommodate me and the pup without complaint as she knew I had a lot on my plate. We need more Rover sitter like her!!”
“Rebecca was responsive and easy to communicate with. We got lots of updates and pictures which was amazing. Our dog came home exhausted. She must’ve played all week. Great experience.”
“Great experience and a wonderful family. They loved our dog like he was their own. From the pictures they sent us, Sarge looked like he was living his best life while we were gone. Definitely a 5 star stay.”
“Our dog ended up needing to be on medication right before we were going to head out of town but we had no hesitation still bringing her to Mackenzie’s despite that because we LOVE Mackenzie and trust her to take care of our girl! We are so grateful to have someone we trust to care for our dog when we leave town!”
“My fur babies had a wonderful stay with Taylor. She is so kind, even my sensitive pup, June warmed up to her instantly! Taylor was very flexible when our pickup /drop off times shifted and checked in during the visit to let me know the puppies we doing good. Highly recommend Taylor for anyone looking to have a pet sitter they can trust. Thank you so much Taylor! We will book again with you soon! ☺️”
“Alex and Jacquelynne were amazing! They sent pictures and even a cute video of our dog while we were out of town. I knew our dog was in great hands! Kiva got in the car and immediately fell asleep, she was definitely worn out from all the play time! We highly recommend Alex and Jacquelynne if you need someone to watch your dog!”
“The best dog sitter in KC! My dog Coco has the best time with Angelica and her dogs. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a great dog sitter who's friendly, accommodating, and an overall great experience. You can tell she really cares about you and your dog”
“Sharon & Glen have been great to work with! Their availability and willingness to care for my fur baby last minute is comforting and makes leaving her easier for our family. In a short period of time, they treat our girl like their own.”

“Robin is so sweet and our Bear just does so well with her. He is usually very shy, but seems to have warmed up to her quite easily. We can't thank Robin enough for the time she spends with him nd the care she gives.”
“Regan is amazing! Her ability to connect with even our most skittish cat was great and she was very attentive to details. Would trust her with any of our babies. Thank you!”
About: I’ve been the go to pet sitter for family members and friends. Whether it’s keeping them company for a couple hours to just stopping by to let them out and check their food/water to watching them for multiple days. I work full time and don’t have the ability to work from home. On weekdays after 5pm I’m free to hang out with your pups! During the weekend I have more flexibility to watch or check on your pets. I don’t have any pets and currently live in an apartment complex. There is a lot of open grass space around my apartment complex and is in a good area to walk in. If you prefer your pup be in a crate if I have to leave that will need to be provided, but as long as they are house trained I have no problem with your dog free-roaming my apartment.
“Robin was SO wonderful. I would trust her with my babies again any day! She was very open, caring, and treated my kitties as they were her own! She left the most detailed notes (can see the nurse shining through haha). She not only made sure my cats were well, had some play, were fed/watered, & were clean/brushed, but also she made sure they didn’t destroy my apartment & their boxes & pee pads stayed fresh. She even took the trash out and brought my old lady cat some senior food 😭😭 SOOO SWEET! Everything went smoothly as far as the booking, planning, meet & greet, etc. I missed my babies, but I did not stress about them once while gone! Thank you so much Robin!”
“Rebecca is first class! She’s the only sitter my anti-social kitty warmed up to, ever. She took excellent care of my boy, which made me very happy and able to enjoy my vacation. I have had other sitters, but Rebecca is definitely the best!”
“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!”

“We cannot say enough good about Gaby and Harrison's care of our four doggos! They readily agreed to help us out over a long weekend with very little notice. They provided doggy daycare with pick up and drop off service. They were absolutely life savers and did a great job with our doggos... caring for them as if they were their own.

About: Dogs must be ok in a kennel. 😊 I have worked on some level in animal welfare my entire life. Since 2013, I own & operate a licensed rescue for dogs.

If not, your pooch can do solo play time.

About: Born and raised around cats and dogs of all ages and breeds, I’ve developed a lifelong passion for animal care. From energetic puppies to senior pets needing extra attention, I’ve provided love, patience, and reliable care. My experience includes feeding, walking, administering medications, and ensuring pets feel safe and comfortable. I treat every pet as if they’re my own! As a stay-at-home mom with school-aged kids, my schedule is flexible, giving me plenty of availability to dedicate to pet care. Whether it’s morning walks, midday playtime, or evening cuddles, I can easily work pet care into my daily routine. While my kids are at school, I focus on caring for your pets, ensuring they get the love and attention they need. Being home throughout the day allows me to accommodate special requests, provide updates, and keep your pets happy and well-cared for. Safety and trust are my top priorities. As a pet owner of two dogs and one cat, I understand the importance of creating a secure, comfortable environment. My home features a fenced-in yard for safe outdoor play and crates if needed. I can also separate animals into different parts of the house to ensure everyone feels at ease. Your pets will receive attentive care in a loving, stress-free space tailored to their needs.
“I need flexibility with my insane work schedule. Kayla and her husband provided that for me and much more. The love my fur babies like their own. I recommend these two awesome people for puppy sitting anytime!”
About: Grew up with dogs. Had a cat. Love animals. Babysit my daughter’s dogs. Don’t have any of my own animals right now, so I can take care of other people‘s dogs or cats! I’m available all days from morning till three in the afternoon or for overnights and boarding . I can be flexible with my schedule because I am retired. I love walking dogs. I watch my daughter’s dogs quite a bit. We’ll go on walks. Have a big back yard so they can run and play in the backyard. They can sit in my lap in the house, we can play with their toys! I have a fenced backyard. I live on a quiet street. I enjoy going on walks with dogs. I don’t have any animals right now so I can take care of other people’s dogs. I used to have two dogs and a cat. They all lived to old age.
About: Are you looking for a place your pet will love to visit, look no further. Your dog will be treated as family while in our care. We have a lot of laps to provide attention and love. We will will walk your dog and play with him/ her daily. Our family has been dog-sitting for many years. We love having extra dogs here. Your dogs will get personal attention and daily walks. We are home most of the day. I've had the privilege of having dogs (and other pets) all my life. Currently we have 3 small dogs. We love having pets in our lives, and they are fun to have around. The children in this house are dog lovers, and they can't wait to help out! Our pets are part of our family and spend time with us whether we are lounging around or playing outside. We have a quiet neighborhood we can walk your dogs around. We have plenty of room for them to play. I hope you will choose our family to be your dog's home away from home. With our range of age in our family, often there is someone home to attend to your dog. During the summers, we have even more flexibly and more of us regularly at home. This gives us regular opportunities for walks and potty breaks.
“Nathan was great! Quick to respond and took our little guy for daycare on VERY short notice. No communication issues and we would definitely trust him to pet sit for us again.”
“My pup, Sage, had a great time hanging out here while I was at work. I was only in town for a week and Rae was very flexible with my schedule and drop off times for Sage in the morning. She sent me pictures throughout the day and kept me updated. Sage loved playing with all of the dogs and came home tuckered out from all the activity. I would definitely use Rae again in the future when Sage and I are in town on business.”
About: I have had pets all my life from dogs and cats to gerbils, hamsters and fish. Even as a young child I was primarily responsible for most of the routine daily pet care. I'm a trained CNA with applicable caregiving skills. I also have extensive experience as a shelter volunteer having walked the dog and played with them as well as socializing the cats. I'm currently self employed as a home care aide and wish to take care of animals in between assignments or during days off. I do not have any responsibilities that would interfere with me taking care of your fur babies. I do not have a fenced in yard but I do have a yard stake. I live in a townhouse with an open grass backyard. I regularly take my dog to The Liberty, MO Stockdale dog park and can take yours there too if that's your preference. If you wish I can walk your dog as many times per day as you prefer. My neighborhood has paved sidewalks and walking paths that I routinely use to walk my dog daily. I have one cat and one dog and each get along with other cats and dogs very well but should there be any unforeseen issue, I can put your pet in my spare bedroom. I also own a wire dog crate for large dogs. I can crate your pet in your home or my home if you wish me to. I will take care of him or her in whichever way you prefer. I do not crate my dog but I did as a puppy to facilitate his potty training. My dog sleeps with me at night as does my cat sometimes. Both are friendly and well socialized but again, I can put either in a spare room or your pet if necessary. Both my pets are up to date on their vaccinations and they get a monthly pill for flea and tick prevention. I can do everything from long or short walks, taking them outside for potty breaks, administering food or medicine, playtime, etc.

About: I always insure that pets are comfortable! I’ve taken care of old cats and dogs, and I when they are old like that it’s important to meet their needs first, as most of the time they need a lot of guidance and help. I am currently going into online college, so most of my day is free! I often sit down and watch TV or play video games, but I mostly enjoy writing and drawing in my free time I personally like to ask owners how there pets are in the company of others, as well as if any weather bugs them! The comfort of my pets, and owners is always my number 1 priority! I want to make sure that they are comfortable around me, and I never approach any animal until I’ve let them sniff me, it’s important that they trust me to be around them.
About: Howdy there & nice to meet you, I am a kindred soul who has experience working in doggy day cares/boarding camps as well as volunteering hours at various local animal shelters. I am an aspiring pet groomer and will be taking classes for that soon as well. I turned my passion to vibe with furry friends into paid play dates. I am a natural care giver and would love to meet your little (or big) one! I work a hybrid in the field/remote job so my schedule is super flexible. I have to already incorporate my schedule around my rightfully spoiled only child (Lincoln, my 8-year old Husky mix). I also combine pet care time with my self-care routine for exercise/physical activity. (Work smarter not harder). I have a fenced yard/porch, as well as a doggy door built into the door that leads to said yard/porch and security cameras that cover the yard so we can always see what's going on. As well as various toys, treats, and walking equipment always available to all our furry friends.

About: Hi! I’m Bailey, a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I currently care for my own pets and have experience with senior pets, medically complex pets, medications, anxious animals, and multi-pet households. I understand that every pet has a different personality, and I take the time to help them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I work independently, which allows me flexibility and reliability when caring for your pets. Whether your dog loves long walks or your cat prefers quiet companionship, I’ll treat them like members of my own family. I know how important trust is when someone is caring for your pets, so I’ll provide regular updates, photos, and communication while you’re away. I work remotely with a flexible schedule, allowing me to spend plenty of time with the pets in my care throughout the day. Because I work from home, pets receive regular attention, potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and companionship instead of being left alone for long periods. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages so you can relax while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my highest priorities. I work remotely from my home, allowing me to closely monitor pets throughout the day. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, exercise routines, and any special care requests. I have years of experience caring for dogs and cats, including seniors and pets with complex medical needs. I understand that every pet is unique and strive to keep their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. My goal is to provide a calm, safe environment where your pet feels at home while you’re away.
About: Recently graduated from Mizzou, I have spent the last 2 years helping to care for our house pets, including two cats and one dog. I worked to feed, walk, and engage with my pets during this period. Prior to this, I lived and cared for many animals back in my hometown: 3 dogs, 2 guinea pigs, 2 parrots, and a turtle. Because of this, I deliver versatile care, and understand that every pet has its own unique needs! I work 2 part time jobs, both in healthcare, where my hours are stacked on certain days of the week. This gives me flexibility to help care for your pets! Though each week can be a little different, I have my schedule set throughout the summer and can plan far ahead! I have such a big heart for animals! I love giving them attention and care above and beyond what's expected. I prefer to do this in a house sitting situation due to having 5 other roomates with animals here, but I have a car and am willing to do overnights!
About: Great with all types of dogs and have a fun, intuitive understanding of their care needs. Flexible and attentive, I’m happy to adapt to what your dog enjoys-whether it’s relaxing, going for a walk, or playing fetch. I am currently working part time and look to fill my daytime (10a-3:30p) with some pups. I enjoy an active lifestyle so I am open to whatever adventures your pup enjoys. I strive to provide loving care for your pet in the comfort of their home. Following their routines and ensuring they are fed, exercised, and happy, while keeping a clean and safe environment.
About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was 12 years old, and my love for them is at the heart of everything I do. As an aspiring animal rights attorney beginning my law school journey, advocating for the well-being of animals is something I’m passionate about both personally and professionally. I believe every pet has a unique personality, so I take the time to get to know both you and your pet to provide care that’s tailored to their individual needs. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while treating both you and your home with the utmost respect. I’m proud to have built lasting relationships with my clients. I’ve had 2–3 regular semiannual clients who have trusted me with their pets for over three years, as well as a monthly client who has relied on my care for the past year. I have experience caring for a wide variety of animals, including: Dogs: Shih Tzus, Shipoos, Goldendoodles, English Mastiffs, Great Pyrenees, Pit Bulls, mixed breeds, and French Bulldogs. Cats: Himalayans, Persians, and Tabbies. In addition to pet sitting, I worked as a dog bather at a professional grooming salon, where I safely handled dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments. That experience strengthened my confidence in reading canine behavior and providing calm, patient care, even in unfamiliar situations. For me, pet care is about more than meeting basic needs—it’s about building trust, understanding each pet’s unique personality, and giving owners peace of mind knowing their companions are in caring, capable hands. I’m a student and a part time employee so I ask that you schedule 3 weeks prior to needing my services to allow me time to request time off from my other job. I can easily walk your dog for up to an hour and a half or take them to a dog park outside to play if you have a fenced in yard as I have a car and I’m a pretty active person.
“Brandi came and walked my dog every day for several weeks while I was waiting for hip replacement. A definite plus for me. She varied her times around weather and the fact that my doggy gets hot if the sun is too much (she came in the evening).”

“Lindsay and her family are awesome! They have watched Sophia multiple times for up to 2 weeks. We have full trust that she will be cared for and thought of as one of the family. Lindsay’s home is always clean and organized. Sophia comes home happy and healthy every time!”
“Isha and Great took great care of our little dog recently. She came back happy and tired, which means they gave her a lot of love and attention. They also provided updates daily with photos. Highly recommend!”
“Bandit was so happy and calm when I picked him up. It was very clear he was comfortable and well taken care of! She took him on several walks and sent many pictures. He was a HAPPY BOY!!”
“This was our first time leaving our dog with a non-family member and I can't overstate how happy we were with Cathy. She sent us daily pictures with text updates as to how our dog was doing which put our minds at ease. From the time we met her we could just tell how much she loved animals. The most important thing is we are pretty sure that our dog enjoyed his stay. He did not come home stressed out as he has in the past from staying at other boarders. We think he almost misses playing and interacting with Cathy's other dog Maddie and the kids. We would and plan on using Cathy again in the future and would certainly recommend her to anyone.”
“Samantha was great!! I ran into many crises during my trip and luckily I didn’t have to worry about my boy at all. I could tell Samantha was very caring and knew I was having trouble, so she even went out her way to accommodate me and the pup without complaint as she knew I had a lot on my plate. We need more Rover sitter like her!!”
“Rebecca was responsive and easy to communicate with. We got lots of updates and pictures which was amazing. Our dog came home exhausted. She must’ve played all week. Great experience.”
“Great experience and a wonderful family. They loved our dog like he was their own. From the pictures they sent us, Sarge looked like he was living his best life while we were gone. Definitely a 5 star stay.”
“Our dog ended up needing to be on medication right before we were going to head out of town but we had no hesitation still bringing her to Mackenzie’s despite that because we LOVE Mackenzie and trust her to take care of our girl! We are so grateful to have someone we trust to care for our dog when we leave town!”
“My fur babies had a wonderful stay with Taylor. She is so kind, even my sensitive pup, June warmed up to her instantly! Taylor was very flexible when our pickup /drop off times shifted and checked in during the visit to let me know the puppies we doing good. Highly recommend Taylor for anyone looking to have a pet sitter they can trust. Thank you so much Taylor! We will book again with you soon! ☺️”
“Alex and Jacquelynne were amazing! They sent pictures and even a cute video of our dog while we were out of town. I knew our dog was in great hands! Kiva got in the car and immediately fell asleep, she was definitely worn out from all the play time! We highly recommend Alex and Jacquelynne if you need someone to watch your dog!”
“Sharon & Glen have been great to work with! Their availability and willingness to care for my fur baby last minute is comforting and makes leaving her easier for our family. In a short period of time, they treat our girl like their own.”
“Robin was very understanding with our dog, Tabitha's needs - with her in mourning after the recent passing of our other dog, her closest companion and with us needing to be away from home for 8 days. Robin listened to all of the details of feeding and meds. Then she stayed in contact with us, updating us on Tabitha's adjustment to her new surroundings, sending great pics and playing the games she likes to play (FRISBE!) Robin was also VERY accomodating with our crazy flight schedules on drop off & pick up. Tabitha had such a good time she has returned to her joyful self! I highly reccomend Robin and she will be the first person we will reach out to the next time we need a dog sitter!”
“Alexandria was amazing! Daisy was beyond spoiled and taken care of her entire stay! Truly I don’t think she wanted to leave her “staycation”!! We got tons of pics and updates and already are booking Alexandria for our next trip! Thanks for taking such good care of our little dog!”
“Laurie continues to make Jojo comfortable and give her a positive experience. Even though Jojo gets very anxious, Laurie comes up with new ways to entertain and calm her.”
“Lona and Alan were fantastic! They were very thorough in getting to know the details about caring for Skipper, and communication was excellent. They gave my high-energy pup lots of playtime, walks, and attention. They also sent lots of photos throughout his stay - I could tell he was having a great time!”
