They took great care of my dog! He usually looses a good amount of weight when I board him, but not this time. When I picked my dog up he was happy and very well fed. I can tell he had a blast.

This review is long overdue. Stephanie was excellent to work with and half the price of boarding our dog anywhere else. She sent us pictures and updates throughout the stay and was in constant contact. We moved out of the area so we are unable to board with Stephanie anymore but defiantly would if we still lived in the area. She helped us out in a couple last minute situations. I would give her more than 5 stars if I could.

We couldn’t have asked for better sitters for our first time leaving our pup. The care and attention given to our dog was absolutely amazing. It was so clear how much they genuinely loved him and treated him like their own. They even had a welcome sign with a menu and activities. It was adorable. We received thoughtful updates, pictures, and constant reassurance that he was happy and well cared for. Picking up a relaxed, content boy says everything. We are beyond grateful and would trust Kris & Eric again in a heartbeat. Highly, highly recommend! 🐾💕

About: Dogs have been part of my family for most of my life. I enjoy finding out what their personality is like as well as what their preferences for play/affection are. I recently retired from my job so I have very flexible schedule now. i will have time available to help people out with pet care. When caring for others pets, I ensure all of their needs are taken care of. My yard is not fenced in, so if they are staying with me I will take dogs out in my yard on their leash. I am a runner so I can run with them if they enjoy that type of activity. There is plenty of room where I live for running and walking!

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!

About: I have been taking care of animals since I was a very little girl. I love all types of animals and my children and I would do anything to provide for any animal. I am a busy mom with a full time job, that being said us moms have super powers so I can make pretty much anything fit into my schedule. The workweek I would be available for early mornings and evenings but the weekends are open and flexible. I have a big backyard and a lovable shitzu and lab to keep your animal company. I enjoy taking walks and getting exercise and playing inside or outside.

About: Hello pet parents my name is Tori! I HAVE EXPERIENCE WITH MORE THAN JUST DOGS AND CATS SUCH AS CHICKENS AND DUCKS !! I am 20 years old and I LOVE animals!! Due to my Army career I live in a lot with my wife, my dog, and my kitten. Taking care of animals is my calling! I have now been in the Army for two years. I joined to further pursue my college education and become a veterinarian in the future. Iam extremely passionate about the care that animals receive. I have volunteered for lots of shelters since i was young to learn all about animals and their needs, so it is my duty to ensure that your fur baby is well taken care of. Being that i worked with a lot of trained animal handlers, I have experience with animals who have many special needs such as diabetes, aids, cancer, seniors, etc. I also have experience with many different ages and breeds of dogs/cats. I previously worked at a groomers and volunteered at a pet shelter. At both establishments I fed the animals, bathed them, played with them, and took them out for restroom breaks. | love to stay active so I go on a daily walk/run and I would love for your pet to accompany me. I have plenty of room in my schedule to spend quality time with your pet. This would include going to the park, play time, and even cuddle time! While you are gone from your sweet fur baby, I will be available for communication 80% of the time. I am more than happy to send updates on how your pet is doing upon request. I am extremely excited to be pet sitting again as l did this before I joined the military. I work from 9-5 for the time being until my shift changes but am truly excited to be able to rush home and care for your pets. I will always keep you updated on my schedule being that my hours change every 3 months. Anything that makes you and your pets comfortable I am more than happy to do. The less stress there is for you and your fur baby the better! I am here for your needs!!

About: I’m a dedicated cat lover with three kitties of my own, so I truly understand all the little quirks that make each cat unique, from playful zoomies to quiet, independent vibes. I have hands on experience with medication administration, post-surgical care, and even bottle feeding kittens, which has taught me a lot of patience, gentleness, and attention to detail. I’m comfortable keeping litter boxes fresh and creating a clean, cozy, low-stress environment your cat will feel safe in. I’ve also leash-walked cats for some safe outdoor exploring, so I’m open to working with both curious adventurers and homebody snugglers. I pay so much attention to each cat’s personality; I’ll match their energy, whether that means playtime, cuddles, or simply giving them their space while still making sure they feel cared for and loved.

Good care provided to pups and cats. They are also good communicators. They let us know when they were concerned about the animals. There was also the complication of our house being on the market to sell.

About: I have three dogs, two wonderful twin golden retrievers that are 5 years old. They are my whole world and so are my sister and brother’s dogs/cats! My sister has been doing rover in KC for over 7 years so it’s been a great way to experience rover and the necessities for all kinds of pets. 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.

About: "If you can look at a dog and not feel vicarious excitement and affection, you must be a cat." ~Terri Guillemets Love dogs (and animals in general, but dogs especially.) I have been around them my whole life and wouldn't want it any other way. I come from a large, mostly rural dwelling family, my grandma had 11 kids 2/3 of which have at least 1 or more dog(s) including my mom. I've always had my own and/or lived with roommates/friends/family, that have/had dog(s) in every house I've lived from day 1 to the present. Although I can't say I've taken care of every breed out there (doubt that many people can) I have definitely seen my fair share of mutts and purebreds alike; from Corgis to Chihuahuas, Danes to Dobermans, Lhasa Apsos to Shar Peis, and even a couple of wolves (3/4 mixes) as well as a few rodents, cats, reptiles, arachnid and birds. Big or small I love "em all, but if you forced me to pick a favorite I'd have to go with the affectionate yet intimidating Perro de Presa Canario. In short, if either by choice or necessity you find yourself in need of a caretaker for your 4-legged (or more) companion(s), know that I would be elated for the opportunity and you can be assured that their health and well-being will invariably be at the forefront of my mind in all that I do while they're in my care. Thank you for taking the time to read this and I look forward to hearing from you soon. "Lots of people talk to animals.... Not very many listen, though.... That's the problem." ~Benjamin Hoff, The Tao of Pooh

About: I have worked in veterinary Kennels and in shelters. I am also a certified Dog and Cat trainer through Animal Behavior College in 2013. I have been trained in animal first aide. I have a military I.D. so I can also care for military families as well! I come home on my lunch break to let the dogs run in the yard (we NEVER leave the dogs outside on their own for safety from hawks etc). The longest they are alone is 5 hours. Our live revolve around our own dogs so they will feel like one of the family in no time. We have a fenced .75 acre yard that we stay out with them for safety. Older pups will be carried on any stairs to prevent any falls. Kenneling is a part of our home for safety. But if we are home they are out. The dogs have their own room where they kennel that has safety film on the windows so they can benefit from the light but are not tormented by the squirrels in the trees. Cats are kept in their own area as well. I know how important your dog is and I will treat them the way I would want mine treated. With the exception of errands and taking kids to school I am home full time. We treat visitors as one of the pack. Often our visiting pups like to lounge on the couch when not supervised in the yard. I have a fenced yard and dogs are not left outside unattended (especially the little ones). We have a multi layered floor plan so if a dog needs to be alone for a bit we have the ability to do so.

About: I'm a work from home professional with flexible hours. I have a 3 bedroom house with a large fenced in yard for puppies to run and potty (freely). I've cared for/owned dogs for over 15 years and make sure they stick to their routine of potty breaks/feeding/treat time! I don't mind coming to ones home and caring for their pets while they are away on business or enjoying some free time! I understand last minute trips and can squeeze you into my schedule. Every family member I have + most friends have dogs so I'm very familiar with how to care for and entertain pets whom I am new to! I'm so excited this is an option for extra income and I hope to meet your pups soon!

About: I've been around and owned large dogs throughout my life, as well as other small and exotic pets. All guests will meet Gracie, our very friendly service-dog-in-training, who loves to make new friends! Every dog I've owned, I've done at least basic household obedience training with. I'm self-employed, work from home, and have a very flexible schedule. Please check the calendar for blocked dates. Gracie and I typically start our day at 8:00AM, but we can receive visitors as early as 7:00. We start the day with breakfast and yard time before the heat comes in. When it starts to cool off in the evening, Gracie and I walk a 3-mile loop from the house to a nearby wooded trail and back. We have plenty of super chewer toys and treats for larger dogs, and a large fenced in back yard with room to run! Depending on weather, the dogs would spend most of the time in the house during the day. All time in the back yard is supervised. Housebroken dogs are allowed on couches and to roam the house. We also have kennels upstairs and downstairs, if needed.

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.

About: I've been taking care of dogs and cats for 20+ years! Animals are typically very comfortable in my presence and warm to me quickly. I am comfortable with caretaking for senior pets (my cat that recently passed lived to 16 years old) and with the needs and training for new puppies. I am self-employed and create my own work schedule, so with a day or two notice, I can typically work your needs in! My job requires me to be out in the car often, so I am happy to stop in and check on your pets. Please note that in the evenings and weekends, my son may join me. He really enjoys helping. If your pet does not like children, just let me know in the booking request. I have a fenced in yard at home. At your home, I will take the utmost caution to make sure your fur babies are safe and comfortable and respect any guidelines you provide.

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. This has given me the opportunity to work with dogs hands on that vary in personalities & behaviors. I can manage dogs with medical and behavioral challenges. This is hard to find. I currently work from home allowing be flexibility to care for your pup(s)! I look forward to helping ease your mind for you know your dogs are safe. I have a 6' fenced yard with no climb fencing secured on the inside of it. I would not leave your dog(s) unattended in the yard regardless. I have my own dogs and I would crate and rotate your dog if needed. I am able to pet sit most any dog but I will need to be crate trained. We do rotations in my home. If your pooch is not crate trained, it will not be able to stay. I have a 6’ privacy fence with no climb fencing installed. We have a great play group of dogs for this that are ready to play. If not, your pooch can do solo play time.

About: With a lifelong passion for animals, I bring extensive experience caring for both dogs and cats. I currently train and compete with my field-line Labrador in hunt test trials, honing my skills in advanced obedience and behavior understanding. As a dedicated student of animal behavior and various training methodologies, I offer more than just pet sitting—I provide enrichment and tailored care to suit each pet's needs. Whether it's managing puppy energy, reinforcing existing training, or understanding complex behaviors- I ensure your pet is engaged, happy, and well cared for while you're away. I work from home M-F and have plenty of time for frequent monitoring, and the ability to give ample airing time and potty breaks. My schedule includes regular breaks outside and daily walks around our acre yard and/or our neighborhood lakes. We have about 21k sqft of back yard of which about 10k is fenced. I own an 18 month black lab that is very playful, yet very gentle with his furry friends and humans, as well as two cats that generally keep to themselves and out of the way. At night and when away from the home, our pup enjoys his quiet time in his kennel. Crate/Kennel trained dogs are preferred as to ensure their safety and security when direct monitoring is not feasible. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets, whether in my home or yours. I provide a secure, pet-friendly environment with plenty of supervision, ensuring they feel comfortable and at ease. I closely follow any routines, training, or specific instructions you provide, so your pet feels right at home. I maintain clean, safe spaces, free of hazards, and offer plenty of mental and physical stimulation to keep them happy and healthy. With my strong attention to detail and understanding of animal behavior, your pet is always in good hands.

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: I have lifelong, hands on experience caring for animals and specialize in supporting pets through every stage of life. I currently have a puppy (toy Aussiedoodle), so I’m actively experienced in potty training and reinforcing foundational commands like sit, stay, and come with consistency and patience. I also have extensive experience with senior dogs. I cared for my own from age 3 through 17, which gave me a deep understanding of advanced care needs such as medication administration, bathing, mobility support, doggy diaper care, and hand-feeding. I’m comfortable navigating the sensitivities that can come with new people and aging, including moments of discomfort or food related aggression, and always handle pets with a calm, patient approach. I currently care for two dogs and three cats, which keeps me very in tune with different temperaments, routines, and needs. What sets me apart is my ability to read animal behavior, adjust my care style accordingly, and provide steady, patient, and attentive care that helps pets feel safe and loved. My friends and family always call me for pet sitting needs due to my loving and bubbly personality and strong passion and dedication for animals. Pet care fits into my routine very naturally and I genuinely enjoy making time for it. At the moment, I have open availability 7 days a week, which allows me to be flexible and responsive for visits, walks, or other activities. I am currently in the process of interviewing for part-time positions, but I remain committed to prioritizing pet care and can easily accommodate visits before or after work shifts. I’m very flexible and happy to work around what’s best for each pet’s routine. I provide care in a calm, attentive, and safety-focused way that helps pets feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. When I’m in a client’s home, I always follow their routines closely so pets can stay in their familiar environment with minimal stress. I pay close attention to instructions for feeding, walks, medications, and any special needs, and I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are handled carefully at all times. I also take time to build trust with each pet at their own pace—whether that means a gentle introduction, giving them space if they’re shy, or engaging with play and affection once they’re comfortable. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, loved, and cared for while keeping owners fully informed and at ease throughout the visit. I also have two dogs of my own if your fur baby is ever needing a friend. 💛

My sister has been doing rover in KC for over 7 years so it’s been a great way to experience rover and the necessities for all kinds of pets. 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.

Nisa is just great! She walked my dog a couple miles a day and wore him out, just what I wanted! She is very friendly and follows directions very well. She arrived on time and was prompt in responding to texts for scheduling. I highly recommend her!

About: "If you can look at a dog and not feel vicarious excitement and affection, you must be a cat." ~Terri Guillemets Love dogs (and animals in general, but dogs especially.) I have been around them my whole life and wouldn't want it any other way. I come from a large, mostly rural dwelling family, my grandma had 11 kids 2/3 of which have at least 1 or more dog(s) including my mom. I've always had my own and/or lived with roommates/friends/family, that have/had dog(s) in every house I've lived from day 1 to the present. Although I can't say I've taken care of every breed out there (doubt that many people can) I have definitely seen my fair share of mutts and purebreds alike; from Corgis to Chihuahuas, Danes to Dobermans, Lhasa Apsos to Shar Peis, and even a couple of wolves (3/4 mixes) as well as a few rodents, cats, reptiles, arachnid and birds. Big or small I love "em all, but if you forced me to pick a favorite I'd have to go with the affectionate yet intimidating Perro de Presa Canario. In short, if either by choice or necessity you find yourself in need of a caretaker for your 4-legged (or more) companion(s), know that I would be elated for the opportunity and you can be assured that their health and well-being will invariably be at the forefront of my mind in all that I do while they're in my care. Thank you for taking the time to read this and I look forward to hearing from you soon. "Lots of people talk to animals.... Not very many listen, though.... That's the problem." ~Benjamin Hoff, The Tao of Pooh

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life. All different breeds and all different sizes. I’ve always known the importance of keeping a good eye on them and knowing their regular attitude. I know how serious something can be even when the dogs attitude just switched a little bit. I know the importance of showing your love and care for animals as it can really help comfort them or just make them happy. I currently work part time so I do have a lot of freetime to help out and look after/ care for peoples animals who need it. I’m available anyday especially weekends to watch/walk ur pets!! In my home my dog has an open field to run in a water bowl outside inside and in my room. He also gets kenneled sometimes depending on how long im leaving for and such but at night he sleeps in bed with me or on the floor if he gets too hot.

They took great care of my dog! He usually looses a good amount of weight when I board him, but not this time. When I picked my dog up he was happy and very well fed. I can tell he had a blast.

This review is long overdue. Stephanie was excellent to work with and half the price of boarding our dog anywhere else. She sent us pictures and updates throughout the stay and was in constant contact. We moved out of the area so we are unable to board with Stephanie anymore but defiantly would if we still lived in the area. She helped us out in a couple last minute situations. I would give her more than 5 stars if I could.

We couldn’t have asked for better sitters for our first time leaving our pup. The care and attention given to our dog was absolutely amazing. It was so clear how much they genuinely loved him and treated him like their own. They even had a welcome sign with a menu and activities. It was adorable. We received thoughtful updates, pictures, and constant reassurance that he was happy and well cared for. Picking up a relaxed, content boy says everything. We are beyond grateful and would trust Kris & Eric again in a heartbeat. Highly, highly recommend! 🐾💕

Jessica was fantastic to work with. She was able to help us out last minute which we really appreciated. She was quick to respond and updated us on how our baby was doing during her stay. She even offered alternative food when our dog wasn’t eating. We’ll definitely be using her again!

Cristina was amazing! This was our first time using Rover so we didn’t know what to expect. Cristina made our three-legged fur baby feel right at home. I really appreciated the picture updates she would send us throughout the stay. Will definitely use again in the future!

I wish I could rate higher than 5 stars. Marilyn was great! My dogs can be nervous around new people, but they really enjoyed their stay! We received updates and pictures of happy dogs. It made our vacation so much more enjoyable to know that our dogs were so well taken care of. Well worth the drive. Will definitely book again.

They took amazing care of my fur baby! Carolyn was incredibly thoughtful and went above and beyond to keep us connected to our pet while we were away from him. They treated him like family which meant the world to us. We will definitely request them to care for our baby again next time we need a sitter! 100% recommended!!

Rae was amazing with our Dane. We were out of town for 9 days. We received daily updates and videos. Moose has special physical (handicap) needs that prevent us from using ordinary boarding. She did an awesome job of giving him special care. Will definitely send our dog there again.

Aubrey was the most understanding, flexible, and patient dog sitter! We loved that she kept our dog inside with her and her dogs, instead of an outdoor building. She treated him like he was one of hers, and that means a lot!

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!

About: I have been taking care of animals since I was a very little girl. I love all types of animals and my children and I would do anything to provide for any animal. I am a busy mom with a full time job, that being said us moms have super powers so I can make pretty much anything fit into my schedule. The workweek I would be available for early mornings and evenings but the weekends are open and flexible. I have a big backyard and a lovable shitzu and lab to keep your animal company. I enjoy taking walks and getting exercise and playing inside or outside.

Abbie took great care of the dogs. She was accommodating and easy to work with arranging drop off and pick up. I would trust her with your furry family members. They will come home happy and you will feel the same knowing they were well cared for during your trip.

Such an amazing experience!!! This was the first time leaving our dog with a sitter since we adopted her. She is pretty skittish and I was extremely worried dropping her off. She warmed up to Debin quickly which eased my anxiety! Debin sent updates and pictures throughout the duration of the stay. Thank you so much! I’m so happy I have someone I can trust with taking great care of my dog! ☺️

About: I've experienced society with military dogs, also like to help others to know the dogs behavior. I believe dogs can understand and learn to communicate with us. I'm currently working part-time. I'm prefer mornings or afternoon to walk dogs. If needed I could accept stay over night during weekends at my house. I have fence yard, and two dogs to keep your furs company. I don't mind take then to unleash Park 5 min away from my house.

About: I've been around and owned large dogs throughout my life, as well as other small and exotic pets. All guests will meet Gracie, our very friendly service-dog-in-training, who loves to make new friends! Every dog I've owned, I've done at least basic household obedience training with. I'm self-employed, work from home, and have a very flexible schedule. Please check the calendar for blocked dates. Gracie and I typically start our day at 8:00AM, but we can receive visitors as early as 7:00. We start the day with breakfast and yard time before the heat comes in. When it starts to cool off in the evening, Gracie and I walk a 3-mile loop from the house to a nearby wooded trail and back. We have plenty of super chewer toys and treats for larger dogs, and a large fenced in back yard with room to run! Depending on weather, the dogs would spend most of the time in the house during the day. All time in the back yard is supervised. Housebroken dogs are allowed on couches and to roam the house. We also have kennels upstairs and downstairs, if needed.
