“Kristy was amazing! She gave constant updates and sent bunches of photos! She was also amazing in calming my fears of leaving Zig for a long weekend. Zig obviously had a great time and came home an excited, but exhausted, pup.”
“Damonte was fantastic. Sent photos and videos of our little Ace. It’s comforting to know someone can take care of your furry friend like you would. Definitely recommend.”
“Outlaw and Lola were well taken care of and had a great staycation. They made me feel at ease and treated the pups like family. Thanks for that. It’s important to me and the only way I can enjoy my time off. We will be back.”
“From the moment I met Brittney and Max I felt very comfortable having them watch Seamus. Their dog and kids were perfect companions for him and guaranteed he’d get plenty of love and affection. I also received plenty of pictures from Brittney which put me at ease and was a nice touch when I was missing him. He got plenty of time outdoors, cuddles, and play time. I will definitely be using this family in the future.”
“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!”
“Chloe and Collin were absolutely wonderful. I always get nervous because of Babs’ diabetes, but because of Chloe’s updates I was able to fully relax while out of town. They treated her like family. I’m so grateful to have found such a wonderful family to watch my sweet Babs.”
“Stephen and his family were great with our dog (and family member) Rainey. So much better to have a loving family take care of her than boarding her. I highly recommend them. Scott”
“If I could give 10 stars it wouldn’t be enough. Candice was beyond amazing. Our baby took to her like he had known her his whole life. She has a beautiful family and a huge fenced yard where he could play. She was very thorough with finding out any and all information she needed. She sent us tons and tons of pictures, videos, and updates on our baby. He wasn’t stuck in a crate since he never is at home. She allowed her home to become his. Not only will she be the ONLY place we will ever take him but we are already telling all our dog parents about her. The absolute highest rating possible.”
“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!”
“It gives me so much peace of mind for my 2 girls to stay with Carly and her family while I'm gone. She sends pics and updates and I think the dogs look forward to their own vacation at her house!”
“A fantastic experience with Stevie watching my Darlin'. First time I've left her and she was very happy and well cared for when I picked her up. Much better experience than with previous pet. Would feel very comfortable leaving her with Stevie in future! Thanks!”
“Chloe was awesome with my pup Angus. She provided excellent services and communication throughout the sitting period. I will definitely be using her for future sittings! Thank you Chloe!”
“Ryan was great with our cat, sent images throughout the whole stay and made sure to inform us if there was any shift in the cats behavior. Our cat even got to be around other dogs which was awesome! Will board with him again”
“cassie and ben were absolutely incredible! super down to earth people. helped us out in a pinch while on vacation and wanted a safe spot for our pup to play for a few hours. definitely recommend!”
“Griffen and Gloria were nothing short of amazing taking care of my Crystal, who had never been with anyone other than family before. The updates were comforting and the quick response in communication were much appreciated. I like that they limit the amount of dogs and only take small ones. Absolutely recommend!!”
“Sharon and her husband and granddaughter were great with our senior rat terrier. He takes meds and they had no problems giving them to him. They gave him lots of love and snuggles! I would highly recommend them and will definitely use them again in the future!”
“We are so thankful for Samantha!! On short notice she was able to care for our dog over Thanksgiving weekend. Our dog has never been boarded and has never stayed overnight at someone’s house (other than close family). Samantha gave Willow her space and allowed her to warm up on her own time. My dog is very nervous and will growl and show her teeth if she’s scared. Within 5 minutes of me dropping Willow off, I got a picture of Willow getting pets. Within 10 minutes of dropping her off, I got a picture of Willow snuggling on the couch. I was so surprised! We are so happy with Willow’s care and most definitely recommend Samantha!”
“Sarah did a great job keeping my 2yr old mini aussie for 5 days while we went out of state. She kept me posted on how he was doing and she sent me pics on the regular. Highly recommend! She also has dogs herself and Rio loved it! I think he misses his friends ❤️”
“We are so thankful to have found MacKenzie!! We know our dogs are in great hands, and they are always excited when we pull up to her house. We have two large dogs with unique personalities, and we can completely trust that they are in good hands. Thank you for everything MacKenzie!”
“Billie was fantastic. She kept me updated throughout the 10 days while I was away. Photos and commentary that helped me find comfort with the state of Lucy's (my dog) separation anxiety. Lucy had a great time and I didn't have to worry about her care. I will definitely be booking with Billie again.”

“I really appreciate Aliceyns help taking care of our Turkeys while I was catching up with a friend from out of town. There aren't many I trust with taking care of them while I'm away and she gave me peace of mind so I could focus on having a good time. We'll be requesting Aliceyn in the future. Thanks!”
“Yvette was AWESOME with my two cats. She was thorough and did great giving my senior cat his medication even when he was being stubborn and spent the remaining time playing with the kitten and wearing her out.”
“Courtney did a great job with my 3 cats! It was my first time to use a pet sitting service so I was a bit nervous, however, Courtney helped me feel comfortable at our meet and greet and I could tell the cats warmed up to her very quickly. Would definitely use her again.”
About: I have taken care of a family friends 3 dogs for a few years and I have worked in a few veterinary clinics caring for dogs and cats also. I have taken care of everything young to old. I currently am home for the summer so I have plenty of time to drop in on your pups and cats! I am available during the week and on Saturdays. I have stayed at a clients home before and I make sure everything stays clean while I’m there and I do a quick clean before I leave. I make sure to go out with the pets and keep a good eye on them at all times.
“Kaitlin was great! She was happy to play with my puppy and sent me picture updates from her drop ins! My doggo looked very happy and well-taken care of! I would definitely use Kaitlin again in the future!”
“Great having Saige as my first sitter! We met at a Starbucks to do a meet and greet and I instantly felt comfortable. Scary bringing a stranger into your home these days, so I was thankful she was open to answering any questions and wanted me to feel comfortable. Days later, I then had Saige come to my home to meet my cat and see the space to ensure she would also be comfortable sitting at my home. She petsitted or pet sat(?) lol, for 4 days and there’s hardly a hint that she was ever here - meaning she left the place as she found it and didn’t leave a mess or anything. I don’t think my kitty ever got super used to having a stranger in her home but that’s not Saige’s fault. My kitty is just super shy and takes a while to warm up to strangers. I just asked that Saige respect her boundaries and space and I believe she did that! My kitty is almost 16 years old and I just really wanted that reassurance of having someone around more often than just bopping in for 15 mins a day - so I’m thankful for finding this service and the sitting going smoothly! Would book Saige again!”
“Haley was absolutely amazing! She took such great care of our animals while we were away and was very responsive and extremely helpful. Titus and Turbo were both very well cared for and it gave us great comfort and peace of mind knowing that they were in good hands :)”
“Ashley was fantastic. I have a shedding and slobber hanging St Bernard Yogi. I knew she was the one for us when she didn't mind at all when he got her clothes covered in dog hair when she came for the initial meet amd greet. She came and checked on our to pets while we were gone on vacation. It was comforting to know that someone who didnt mind all the fur and slobber was there for them while we were gone. Thank you again for watching them. Michelle”
“Best cat sitter ever!! Our cats were well cared for while we were gone. Kylie sent pictures every day and several updates. Our cats were happy when we returned home. I highly recommend her!”

About: Hello! I have 5+ years of trusted experience dog and house sitting for repeat families since high school. I am reliable and attentive to each pet’s routine, personality, and needs.

I'd like to make money doing something that means a lot to me. I visit them, and give them a bit of attention and love before feeding them and/or crating them. I can give them enrichment and exercise.
“Gracie has done a great job, she even made a friend of Linus our scaredy cat. He would run when people would come over and she got him to let her pet him. We will use her again!”
“Ashley was wonderful with my cats! Even with one of them hiding the whole time, she tried her best to find him and still give him the care he needed. I will 100% recommend her to anyone who needs a pet sitter and will be using her services again when I need them!”
“Nicholas was a great cat sitter for us! He made sure to give her lots of love and play time. This was the first time away from our cat and we loved the daily updates and pictures Nicholas sent us. We definitely recommend him for all your pet-sitting needs!”
“Our two cats become a little anxious sometimes when we're away, but I could tell that they really enjoyed having Stephanie around to spend some time with them. Stephanie did a great job giving the cats food and water and making sure their litter box stayed clean. We appreciated the photos and updates too!”
About: I’ve had and cared for pets for as long as I can remember. Currently I have two big babies, Duke and Bandit. I have cared for many of my friends and families animals over the years and I am excited for the opportunity to meet and care for more fur babies. I worked at a Vets office for a little less than a year. I worked in reception then worked as an animal care taker. Some of my responsibilities included daily walks, Animal playtime as well as bathing. I’ve been a SAHM for the last couple years and with my children getting ready to head back to school i will have a pretty open schedule to be able to care for your fur babies. I love going for walks and meeting new pets. I have a fenced yard and two pups to keep your babies company. With my experience working at a Veterinarians office I am aware of signs to watch for when your fur baby might need some space or when they may not be feeling like themselves.

About: I’ve been caring for cats and dogs since I was about five-years-old! From my own to pets of friends and family. I consider animals as important as people! I’ve also cared for my own and other’s fish, birds, hamsters, gerbils, rabbits, guinea pigs, chickens, ducks, quail. I’m an avid hiker and love walking with dogs and even have a cat of my own that I leash trained and goes on walks with me!

About: With over 8 years of experience and two miniature dachshunds of my own, I offer personalized, loving care that prioritizes your pet’s happiness and well-being. Working from home allows me to integrate pet care seamlessly into my daily routine. I can provide constant companionship, regular check-ins, and ensure that pets receive the attention and care they need throughout the day. In my home, I offer a cozy, secure environment with plenty of playtime and attention, ensuring pets feel comfortable and well-cared for. We have a fenced in back yard and go on daily walks when the weather permits.
About: If you're looking for genuine, dedicated care, look no further! My name is Ryan, and as a full-time, stay-at-home step-dad, I have the inherent flexibility and unwavering devotion to ensure your pets have a comfortable, fun, and personalized stay. With no children of my own, my commitment is complete: I treat every animal I care for as my own child. I recently made the move from California and am using the financial stability created through different ventures to pursue one of my passions: pet sitting. This isn't a job for me; it's a heartfelt side venture, meaning your pet gets my undivided attention during their stay. My goal is simple: for your animals to have the absolute best, most loving experience possible while you're away. Unlike part-time sitters who squeeze visits between other obligations, my schedule is structured around consistent pet care and family time. As a stay at home pet parent, caring for my two Golden Retrievers and cat forms as a constant of my daily routine. This means all walks, feeding times, and play sessions are scheduled with precision and are not subject to outside work conflicts. Whether I am providing in-home boarding or day stays, I am always present and available. I commit to maintaining your pet's exact routine, from specific medication times to late-night potty breaks, ensuring a stable, predictable, and stress-free experience. 1. Trust and Availability Trust is the foundation of my service. As a full-time, stay-at-home sitter, your pet receives genuine, focused attention that is simply unmatched. My flexible schedule means I am not juggling another job; I am fully dedicated to their care. This constant presence allows me to quickly recognize any change in behavior, diet, or health and respond immediately. Please feel free to observe my home environment and my interactions with my two Golden Retrievers and cat. I provide updates, photos, and communication so you always feel connected and assured that your pet is safe and thriving. 2. In My Home (Boarding/Daycare) For in-home boarding, I provide a safe, secure, and pet-proofed environment. My home is designed to be a comfortable, low-stress retreat. Dogs enjoy a consistent routine of feeding, play, and scheduled outdoor time in a fenced yard (with or without my two dogs- preference based). All medications are administered exactly as prescribed and logged. For the safety of everyone, only pets who are current on vaccinations and demonstrate friendly temperaments are accepted. The environment is always low-density, meaning I take a limited number of guests at any time to guarantee that every animal receives the maximum amount of personal attention, love, and care.
“Lesli was so accommodating letting Maverick be dropped of early in the morning since I am a nurse! Mav had such a great time at her house!! He played outside and had fun with her dog Tank. We will definitely be using Lesli again for daycare. Maverick came home happy and tired!”
About: I have much experience with all types of dogs, bigger pups like German Shepherds, or smaller pups like Yorkies! As well as many other breeds. I have handled reactive dogs, leash pullers, and lazy ones! Happy to help whoever I can! I’m a new stay at home mom, so getting out and getting fresh air during the day while you work, or keeping an eye on them while you’re away is perfect for me! I live on 10 acres of land with a big 3 acre pond. Plenty for a pup to roam, without getting too close to traffic ways, as might house is behind the pond on the far back of the acreage. As well as a beautiful neighborhood for walks! Can crate pups if needed!
About: I love pets! I have two small children who adore animals, i am looking to do a bit more with my days and help out those who need help with their pets!

About: I recently retired from the Navy and now live with my wife on 9 peaceful acres, just about a mile and a half off Highway 50 near Powell Gardens. It’s just the two of us here—no kids, no pets at the moment, aside from two laid-back turtles. We’ve had dogs in the past and loved every minute, but after moving frequently, we decided to hold off for now. That said, we’d love to show care and attention to your dog as if they were our own. Since I’m fully retired, I’m home throughout the day. I usually go for a daily walk for exercise, which works perfectly if your pup enjoys a good stroll. Our ranch-style home has pet-friendly vinyl floors and tons of open space to explore. While we don’t have a fenced yard, there’s plenty of room to roam—just let me know if your dog needs to stay on a leash and I’ll make sure to accommodate that. A Quick Note About Your Dog Please feel free to share any special needs, preferences, or routines your dog might have. And of course, if you have any questions at all, don’t hesitate to reach out. I’m genuinely excited to meet your doggo! I am fully retired so I can be home all day. Typically, I exercise with a walk so that would work with the dog as well. I have a large ranch style home with pet friendly vinyl floors. In plenty of land for dogs to run around I do not have a fenced in area so if your dog needs to be on a leash that is fine I just need to know.
“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!”
“Got it! Here's the updated version: It was our dog's first time staying in another place, and he's usually a bit anxious. But he had a really good time with Stevie and came back tired and happy. We're very grateful!”
“Billie gives such kind, loving care to Ginger. She makes adorably decorated little jars of home made treats for special holidays and is a wonderful caregiver to our senior dog. Her own dog is an easy going older fella himself, and they ignore each other companionable. 😄”
“My pup was sooooo happy to see Najji on a return visit for day care! It made both their days being reunited! Rosso and Dolly, Najjis pup, are besties. Sure is good to have Najji available when my schedule is full and Rosso needs play time.”

I’m currently a Pre-Veterinary student at the University of Central Missouri, and for the past five years, I’ve worked as a veterinary assistant at Pleasant Hill Animal Clinic, where my dad is a veterinarian. I’ve also been pet sitting for the past two years, caring for pets of all ages—from playful 10-month-old to sweet 12-year-old seniors. I have experience administering medications, including insulin injections for diabetic dogs, and I always make sure each pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for.

My home also features a dedicated, dog-proofed room that’s perfect for free roaming and playtime. Whether your pup prefers quiet relaxation or active engagement, I’m able to provide a safe, comfortable, and enriching environment tailored to their needs.

For those clients I have pet sat for them while they have been out of town. I have also walked many of their pups during a busy for them. I work Monday, Wednesday, and Friday and the rest of the week make time to exercise my own dog. Along with getting online classes done for UCM.. I care for my pets by always getting them with a clam but happy energy. First thing I always do with any pup is take them outside making sure there are no accidents in the home. If I am just meeting the pup I always allow them time to get used to me and make sure I am a loving person.
“Hollys communication is great! I appreciate that she was willing to cut walks short during a heat wave and hang with Pepe inside a little bit to give him the full time together!”
About: I love pets! I have two small children who adore animals, i am looking to do a bit more with my days and help out those who need help with their pets! I am super flexible and have a big back yard and an SUV incase transportation is needed! I have 2 dogs that are super friendly and playful. I have a male cat who keeps to himself and loves our dogs. We just moved to the area so I am just getting started. Let me know if you have any more questions or want to meet up and do a doggy introduction to see if its a good fit! I look forward to chatting! I work 4 days a week so I have plenty of time to play with your pets! I can board over the weekends as well. I have a fenced in yard and two fur babies of my own to keep your pups company! I’m also willing to traveling to come to your home to care for your pets.
“Kathleen was great in taking care of our two somewhat needy pups. She took them for a nice long walk and was very quick and frequent in communication. I will come back to Kathleen for future walks!”
About: I truly believe pets become very lonely when left at home. Animals need fresh air and lots of love and play time. I currently have two very loving, playful 2 year old Bichons, and I love them dearly. I would be overjoyed to get paid for playing/walking/tending to your pet while you are away (: thank you so much for considering me! I’m currently working part-time on, but I have a free and flexible schedule for your pet needs on Thursdays and Fridays, along with the weekends. I can be as flexible as needed because I know every pet differs. I have two fur babies at home and will soon have a fence. I am able to crate your animal at night if I’m providing pet sitter services, and I’m also able to provide updates as frequently as you would like. I love to be active and be outside, so walks are no problem either.
About: I have had pets my whole life up! I'm a full time stay at home mom with 3 kiddos (2 in school and 1 not in school cause shes a baby!) I am looking to earn a little pocket change while hopefully helping someone out with their fur babies. Most times I will have to come with my baby in her carrier for now, but certain times I may be able to work around that, so please dont hesitate to ask! I am willing to travel as far as Kansas City/Overland Park, Pittsburg, and Joplin/Springfield, or basically within an hour and half for house sitting. As a mom I am not able to stay in your home for house sitting, I could consider pet care inside my home on a case-by-case basis. For daily walks, we will have to agree on a price if its farther than Nevada, El Dorado Springs. I live on a few acres with cats, a dog, chickens, and ducks. I have experience with a lot of different types of animals as well including fish and smaller caged critters. I have experience working with service dogs as well. If you have any questions, please reach out! Im super flexible and would love to be able to help you any way that I can. I am a stay at home mom with 2 of 3 kiddos in school. My schedule is very open. Whatever work you're needing with your animals, please reach out. Animal care in my home will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Animal care in your home will be as requested by you. I typically could not do overnight care as I've got kiddos in school and will most likely have to travel a bit to help you with your animals, but on weekends or breaks I can consider it.
About: I've had dogs for over 10 years, two who are seniors with one of those being a tripawd. All of my pups have special needs of one type or another (even my 4-year-old) so I understand firsthand how to provide individualized care in whatever form you need. I am fully prepared to care for your loved ones to your exact specifications, no request is too big or too small because I understand. I've also helped several neighbors with repeat dog and cat care so my sphere of experience doesn't just include my own furry kiddos. You can trust when you hire me that I will make sure your furry family stays safe and healthy while you're away. I currently work full-time Monday through Friday 8am to 4:30pm to provide for my own doggos in the manner to which they've become accustomed. That leaves weekday evenings and all day on the weekends open to care for your furry family. I'm also open to early morning drop-ins. If you have needs outside of that window, I might be able to work something out with enough notice. I will care for your pets in your home to your exact specifications. If you want me to walk them, I will (I welcome the exercise!). Stay in the yard, I can do that too! As a pet parent myself who has relied on sitters, I know how important it is to have a sitter who listens and follows instructions so you and your furry family have the best experience possible.
About: I keep water out all day so they are not thirsty. I feed my dogs once in the morning and then before bed. I take them put multiple times a day either to potty or play but they are always on the leash. I play with them inside also. I'm a big cuddler with pets if the animal will allow me haha. They are allowed on furniture bed or couch does not matter. My daughter is a big animal person too she loves both dogs and cats and will sit there and watch TV with them or even fall asleep on them haha. I have had 6 years of personal experience with animals they have not be consecutively but all together it has been 6 years. Im a stay at home mom so im pretty available aside from the random appointments. I have 3 kids that all love animals and always want to play with our own animals or help feed and water them. They want to be the ones to let them out to potty and feed them. I have a big fenced in yard for the dogs and kids to play and run in. They are allowed on furniture so we all cuddle up on the furniture. I also have some dog toys. I can offer a separate space for those dogs that want to me alone.

“Kristy was amazing! She gave constant updates and sent bunches of photos! She was also amazing in calming my fears of leaving Zig for a long weekend. Zig obviously had a great time and came home an excited, but exhausted, pup.”
“Outlaw and Lola were well taken care of and had a great staycation. They made me feel at ease and treated the pups like family. Thanks for that. It’s important to me and the only way I can enjoy my time off. We will be back.”
“Chloe and Collin were absolutely wonderful. I always get nervous because of Babs’ diabetes, but because of Chloe’s updates I was able to fully relax while out of town. They treated her like family. I’m so grateful to have found such a wonderful family to watch my sweet Babs.”
“If I could give 10 stars it wouldn’t be enough. Candice was beyond amazing. Our baby took to her like he had known her his whole life. She has a beautiful family and a huge fenced yard where he could play. She was very thorough with finding out any and all information she needed. She sent us tons and tons of pictures, videos, and updates on our baby. He wasn’t stuck in a crate since he never is at home. She allowed her home to become his. Not only will she be the ONLY place we will ever take him but we are already telling all our dog parents about her. The absolute highest rating possible.”
“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!”
“It gives me so much peace of mind for my 2 girls to stay with Carly and her family while I'm gone. She sends pics and updates and I think the dogs look forward to their own vacation at her house!”
“A fantastic experience with Stevie watching my Darlin'. First time I've left her and she was very happy and well cared for when I picked her up. Much better experience than with previous pet. Would feel very comfortable leaving her with Stevie in future! Thanks!”

“cassie and ben were absolutely incredible! super down to earth people. helped us out in a pinch while on vacation and wanted a safe spot for our pup to play for a few hours. definitely recommend!”
“We are so thankful for Samantha!! On short notice she was able to care for our dog over Thanksgiving weekend. Our dog has never been boarded and has never stayed overnight at someone’s house (other than close family). Samantha gave Willow her space and allowed her to warm up on her own time. My dog is very nervous and will growl and show her teeth if she’s scared. Within 5 minutes of me dropping Willow off, I got a picture of Willow getting pets. Within 10 minutes of dropping her off, I got a picture of Willow snuggling on the couch. I was so surprised! We are so happy with Willow’s care and most definitely recommend Samantha!”
“We are so thankful to have found MacKenzie!! We know our dogs are in great hands, and they are always excited when we pull up to her house. We have two large dogs with unique personalities, and we can completely trust that they are in good hands. Thank you for everything MacKenzie!”
“We appreciated the photos, videos & texts from Olga while Jojo was in her care. It was obvious our pup was having a fun time playing with other dog(s) & with Olga & her daughter.”
“Our dog seemed to be happy staying with Jackie and the other dogs who were there at the time.Jackie also sent us texts and photos for reassurance. We will use her again soon and recommend! G A”
“Still 5/5, as she has been in the past. We had our wedding weekend and needed no stress in regards to who is watching our dog, and Paula easily fit that. Sent us pictures which made the bride happy!”
About: I’ve been caring for cats and dogs since I was about five-years-old! From my own to pets of friends and family. I consider animals as important as people! I’ve also cared for my own and other’s fish, birds, hamsters, gerbils, rabbits, guinea pigs, chickens, ducks, quail. I’m an avid hiker and love walking with dogs and even have a cat of my own that I leash trained and goes on walks with me! I’ll play with your pets, take them out for fresh air and exercise, or just hang out for awhile so they don’t think they’ve been abandoned (as some cats and dogs seem to believe)! I am a self employed and make my own schedule, often working from home. My schedule is highly flexible and can usually accommodate your needs. I love playing with animals! Can feed and give medications as needed in most situations. Scoop poop. Make sure they haven’t torn apart the plants! Etc! In my home care, pets can be walked on a regular basis. Can have their own room if needed or have access to kennel. We have a large house and plenty of room to play. Prices are flexible depending on the location, number and type of animals.
“Bubba was very happy and content when we picked him up. He was tired from all the activity and play. A very positive experience for us and was the first experience for us using Rover. Nate was great with Bubba and flexible also to meet some extra requests extending our sitting needs .”
“Oban gets so excited to visit his friends at "camp". When we get in the car and he realizes we are en route to Sean & Jolene's house, he can hardly contain himself. Thank you guys for being his "Next Favrit Good "”
“I can't recommend Shawn enough as a Rover sitter! My dog, Bubbles, can be a bit shy around new people, but Shawn immediately put her at ease. Shawn kept me updated with regular texts and photos, which put my mind at ease while I was away. Bubbles came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. It's obvious Shawn gave her plenty of love and playtime. If you're looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy Rover sitter, look no further than Shawn!”
About: I have taken care of multiple dogs during my lifetime, some of my own and some just visiting. The longest time I have dog-sat was about a year. I'm sure I am prepared to watch your precious fur baby and give them all the love and care they could need. I can keep you updated with the fun if you would like pictures and/or videos while you are away. I currently work in Olathe but I do have the ability to work remotely upon request. My family and I are mostly home bodies and love spending time outside, perfect time for running and playing for your pets. I have a fenced backyard so your pet can run, play and hang out safely with my family and I during their stay. We have room to have their bed/crate near the backdoor for those first thing in the morning restroom breaks that sometimes just can't wait. Both my kids love to help feed, brush, water, pet and play with animals.
