If you’re looking for a dog sitter, we’d highly recommend Catherine. Reliable and great communication...thank you Catherine!”

“Patty did a fabulous job of watching our dog, Tucker. We appreciated that she was willing to meet us prior to our stay. She did a great job of providing lots of pictures throughout our trip. Patty made Tucker right at home and he looked so comfortable and well cared for. We would definitely recommend using her and plan to use her for future trips!”
“Lona and Alan were great with my 110 lb St Bernard mix Ralph, and I have nothing but the nicest things to say about how they treated him. I received pictures throughout the entire week and felt like I was right there with him. I knew that he was in good hands at all times!”

“Laura and Charlie are such great hosts for our pups. She does an amazing job of making them feel at ease and we all appreciate Laura so much! She sent fun pictures so we would know all was well while we were out of town. I would genuinely consider rescheduling my vacation dates if Laura wasn’t available to watch our dogs! She is that great!”

“Sierra was so great with my cats - Oscar and Sydney - who are in different life stages, have different levels of activity, and want different affection and attention. Her communication from before the meet and greet, through each daily visits, and after the final visit was wonderful. The daily Rover update cards I received had full details of her visits and multiple pictures, so I never wondered how each cat was doing. We just moved to Excelsior Springs, and both my husband and I had to travel out of town for work unexpectedly. Sierra made the process of finding a new pet sitter a smooth process, and was very flexible with our short notice, accommodating a meet and greet in little time - making us feel comfortable that are cats were in good hands! Thank you, Sierra!”

About: I've always been an animal lover for as long as I could remember! I’ve worked in various animal clinics and emergency centers. I am taking a step back from working full time. I am working part time in order to transport my children to school. I am always open on weekends, my availability is also very flexible during the week! We recently moved and bought land! So my 3 dogs have lots of room to run around whenever they want. There tails are always wagging and thats all the matters to me.

About: I loved animals ever since I was a kid and currently care for two rodents of my own named Orchid and Meadow. I often pet sit for my family and friends and have taken care of a wide variety of animals. I've taken care of pets of all ages from puppies and kittens to my senior dog who currently has from dementia. I am very patient and licensed CNA so I know how to handle a mess. My grandmother has two cats, which I have petsit for repeatedly and both have very different yet chaotic personalities that I love dearly.
About: With 25 years of professional and personal cat care experience, you can trust that I will provide exceptional and loving care for your best friend. My extensive background in cat care, includes the ability to administer medications as needed and identify any signs of illness that may arise. I have the skills to confidently and competently provide the best care for you cat while you are away. You will receive clear and prompt communicate regarding your pet's care, including updates and, most importantly, immediate notification of any concerns or issues that may arise. Leave the worry behind-I'll be there to provide experienced, attentive care you for your best friend.
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. The safety of your family is first in mind whether that be keeping them on a leash while walking them or making sure they get their medication's or eat the right diet trust that I will keep them safe.
About: I adore cats and have a strong understanding of their needs. I’m the parent of two elderly cats, so I’m very familiar with the extra care that comes with caring for senior pets. Administering medications, keeping litter boxes clean, and cleaning up after accidents are all things I’m comfortable with. I understand that every cat has their own personality and needs, and I’m happy to give them the patience, attention, and care they deserve.
About: If I had to describe myself, I'd say I'm a bit of a Disney princess—animals just seem to warm up to me. 😊 While I've never personally owned a cat, I've cared for cats from 20+ different families over the past 10 years, so I'm comfortable with all kinds of personalities, from the social "pet me immediately" type to the shy "I'll watch you from across the room for three days" type. I believe every cat deserves to be cared for on their terms. Whether that means sitting quietly while they decide if I'm trustworthy, playing with their favorite toy, sticking to a strict feeding routine, or simply making sure they have a calm, clean, stress-free environment while you're away, I'm happy to adapt to what makes them most comfortable. I know how important updates are when you're missing your pets, so I make it a point to send plenty of photos and messages so you can relax knowing they're happy, healthy, and well cared for. My goal isn't just to stop by and refill a food bowl—it's to make your cat feel as safe and comfortable as possible until you're home.
“Our shy kitties loved their visits from Gaby, she made sure they were well loved, fed and taken care of while we were away, which we are so appreciative of! They were in great hands!”
About: I worked at a vet clinic for 2 years, walking, feeding, and watering the cats and dogs. My main task was to take care of and make sure the pets were comfortable. I have two large dogs of my own who are the craziest dogs ever, so I believe that I can take care of the craziest of pets. I am also an Animal Science major in college, so I have some knowledge on how to treat and take care of animals. Also, I have a passion for animals and will do anything to take care of them so they are happy. I believe that I am responsible and mature to be able to handle the most playful of pets. And one of my favorite past times is playing with my pets, so being able to play with any pet is something I strive to make fun. Pet care will fit in around my work schedule. I work everyday during the week until 4-5pm. I am available on most weekends and most weeknights if needed. I know the importance of taking care of someone's pet. They are your family member, like my dog is mine. Therefore, I will take care your pet to the best of standard.
“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: I have always been an animal lover. I grew up in a home that always had a fur baby and as I grew up I have always had a fur baby of my own. I personally believe owning a pet makes a house a home. Aside from my personal experience with pets, I also was an assistant at an in-home pet sitting business for 4+ years. I currently work full-time as a nurse practitioner. My weekly schedule consists of 4 10 hour shifts 6:00am-4:30pm. I have all evenings available during the week for pet sitting. I have 1 weekday per week available and do not work at the hospital on weekends, which make them perfect for pet sitting! I will make sure to discuss your pets routine with you in detail to ensure their schedule is not disrupted when you are away. Consistency is important to not only us, but also our fur babies. Keeping things consistent and providing quality 1:1 time are a priority of mine.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Wood Heights
“She is amazing and my puppy loves to see her!! She is ready to watch your pup and knows when your in a hurry to get to your next stop. If you want your pup to get the best care she is excellent!!!”
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: Hi! I’m Hailey, a lifelong dog lover with years of experience caring for dogs of all ages and energy levels. I work from home, so I have plenty of flexibility to give your pets the attention, exercise, and companionship they need. I have experience with puppy training and am trained in dog CPR. As a former collegiate athlete, I’m also happy to keep up with even the most energetic pups! My priority is making sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re in my care. As someone who works from home, pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily routine. With the flexibility of my schedule, I have the privilege of being available for your pets throughout the day. This means I can provide them with the attention, care, and companionship they need. Whether it's feeding, exercise, playtime, or administering any necessary medications, I can be there to tend to their needs promptly. Additionally, I understand the importance of maintaining a consistent routine for pets, so I ensure that their feeding and exercise schedules align with their usual habits. Rest assured, your furry companions will receive dedicated care and supervision, as I am always present and ready to meet their needs. The way I care for pets in my home or a client's home depends on the specific service being provided. Here are a few scenarios: In the client's home: Pet Sitting: When providing pet sitting services at a client's home, I make sure to replicate the pet's daily routine as closely as possible. This includes feeding them according to their usual schedule, providing fresh water, cleaning litter boxes, taking dogs for walks, and engaging in playtime or exercise based on their specific needs. I also offer companionship and affection to help reduce any separation anxiety they may experience. Drop-in Visits: During drop-in visits, I visit the client's home at scheduled times to check on their pets. I ensure they have food and water, clean litter boxes, let dogs out for bathroom breaks, and spend quality time with them, offering play and affection. Dog Walking: For dog walking services, I take the dogs on stimulating walks to provide exercise, mental stimulation, and an opportunity for bathroom breaks. I follow any instructions regarding route preferences, leash handling, or specific behavioral considerations. Regardless of the service provided, the well-being, safety, and happiness of the pets are my top priorities. I strive to create a comfortable and nurturing environment, maintain their regular routines, and shower them with love and attention, just as their owners would.

I know how to handle dogs even big dogs that pull on the leash. I can help keep training consistent. I run a home daycare and help care for my mom and homeschool my autistic 16 yo son. So I have a lot of time, room and love to give your doggies.

I am able to care for 3 more dogs at a time. I have a large basement with an unfinished room that I put a baby gate up for the door and I have 2 kennels. If I have 3 dogs at once I will rotate the dogs out to make sure that one does not have to stay in a kennel too long. I will ensure your doggy always has food and water available and frequent bathroom breaks with plenty of love and social time. I have a semi big yard with a 20 foot tie down lead to ensure your dog has enough room to run around but won't get away. I also have a small plastic kiddie pool I fill up for the doggies to get in and enjoy!

About: I 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.

“Our family was so fortunate to have had Sierra care for our fur babies! She is punctual, detailed, and exceedingly dependable. It is obvious, through her detailed notes and excellent photos, that Sierra is loving and caring to all of our pets (the photos showed the joy on their faces!). Equally important, Sierra always maintained the highest level of professionalism when walking our dogs, making snap decisions related to weather and other pets along the walking path that were crucial to the safety and well being of our pets. This superior level of care is difficult to find. Thank you, Sierra, for allowing us to travel with peace of mind in knowing that our fur babies were safe and loved.”

About: I love animals—all of them. I've had animals in my home since I was born, including dogs, cats, lizards, guinea pigs, and more. Over the years, I've gained a lot of experience caring for different kinds of animals, and I've found that understanding them comes naturally to me. Animal body language and communication are things I pick up on easily, which helps me recognize when a pet is comfortable, nervous, excited, or needs something. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, but first and foremost, my priority is making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I'll keep you updated on your pet's status to ensure you have comfort knowing someone is keeping a watchful eye over them. Currently, I'm unemployed as I'm awaiting openings in an electrical program I'd like to get into, so I have more than enough time to take care of whatever needs you may have! When caring for a pet in their home, I make their safety and comfort my top priorities. I follow the owner's instructions and routines as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, medication, playtime, and any other specific needs. I also make sure doors, gates, and other potential escape routes are secure, and I pay close attention to the pet's behavior and body language so I can recognize when they are stressed, uncomfortable, or need space. I treat every home with the same care and respect that I would want for my own.

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.

I’m reliable, trustworthy, and treat every home with the same respect I would my own. I believe in clear communication and will gladly provide updates and photos so you can see how your pets are doing while you’re away. Because I am a full-time online student, my schedule is incredibly flexible, allowing me to make pet sitting my top priority. Unlike a traditional 9-to-5 job where I would be away from the house all day, my school structure allows me to work entirely from home on my own terms. This means I have ample open blocks of time throughout the day dedicated solely to pet care. I can easily accommodate structured feeding times, frequent potty breaks, and mid-day play sessions without interruption. Your pets will receive consistent companionship, and because I'm studying from my laptop, I am available to provide the constant supervision, love, and attention they deserve."

Having grown up on a farm, I gained hands-on experience with a wide range of animals, from household pets to livestock. This background has taught me responsibility, patience, and how to care for animals of all kinds. I treat every pet as if it were my own, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I attend school online, which gives me a very flexible schedule. This allows me to travel for pet-sitting jobs and even stay overnight when needed, as long as there’s Wi-Fi so I can keep up with my classes. Since I’m currently applying for more jobs, my availability is open and adaptable, making it easy for me to provide consistent, reliable care for pets whenever I’m needed. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I make sure to follow their usual routines as closely as possible so the pets feel comfortable and secure. I provide regular feeding, fresh water, playtime, and plenty of affection. I also take time to clean up after them, whether that’s refreshing litter boxes, wiping paws, or tidying up their spaces. If I’m staying overnight, I make sure the home stays neat and the pets get extra attention and companionship. My goal is always to create a safe, calm, and loving environment while keeping the owner’s home just as they left it.
About: I worked at a vet clinic for 2 years, walking, feeding, and watering the cats and dogs. My main task was to take care of and make sure the pets were comfortable. I have two large dogs of my own who are the craziest dogs ever, so I believe that I can take care of the craziest of pets. I am also an Animal Science major in college, so I have some knowledge on how to treat and take care of animals. Also, I have a passion for animals and will do anything to take care of them so they are happy. I believe that I am responsible and mature to be able to handle the most playful of pets. And one of my favorite past times is playing with my pets, so being able to play with any pet is something I strive to make fun. Pet care will fit in around my work schedule. I work everyday during the week until 4-5pm. I am available on most weekends and most weeknights if needed. I know the importance of taking care of someone's pet. They are your family member, like my dog is mine. Therefore, I will take care your pet to the best of standard.

About: I’ve also had guinea pigs and rabbits and birds and goats. I love all animals and am happy to care for them no matter what shape or size. They all deserve love and attention and as long as I have solid instructions then I got it covered and they’ll feel like they’re my own babies. I’m currently unemployed. I’m getting certified to sell insurance and am home. I have two children in pre school and elementary school and the extra money would help a lot in this transitional period. I can happily come to your home and give your animals all the love they need. I’m in an apartment so coming to my home isn’t available currently but I can do check-ins or extended stays at your home depending on what you need.
About: My family and I have owned dogs my whole life and raised several liters of puppies, which is where I have grown my love for dogs! I’ve been dog sitting and helping take care of dogs since I was 10 years old and have gained several skills in responsibility and care from this.

“Catherine was absolutely wonderful with both of our girls. Her home is so dog friendly with a nice backyard for them romp. One of our dogs is special needs and it is not a big deal for Catherine at all. Shelby and Belle enjoyed their time with her and I even think Belle misses her! If you’re looking for a dog sitter, we’d highly recommend Catherine. Reliable and great communication...thank you Catherine!”

She is that great!”

She truly took the time to understand their personalities. They weren’t just watched, they were treated like the short kings they are and welcomed into her home like family. I could see how much love and attention they all gave them, and it was clear they felt comfortable and happy every step of the way. I am beyond grateful we found her. She gave them VIP treatment, definitely booking again, we got really lucky finding her! ❤️”
