“Nadia took amazing care of my high maintenance kitties: one who is geriatric and blind and one who has high anxiety. They both were very comfortable with her, she sent great updates so I didn't worry, and made sure Sassy got her daily medicine. She definitely knows cats!”


“Kelly is a superstar!! She took such awesome care of my cats as if they were her own. Kelly provided very detailed and descriptive daily reports, and pictures of my fur babies in action. Words to sum up Kelly: reliable, punctual, animal lover, and fantastic communication skills. If you need someone to provide care for your animals and reassurance while away, Kelly is the answer.”



“Hi guys. I feel like you all did a great job. You took O' Malley for 10 days and let him do his thing and be comfortable in his own way. Thank you! The only thing I would have liked more of is communication. Both times I had to reach out to you for check ins. Good luck with your pet sitting!!!”


“Emily took amazing care of our darling, and needy ;) cat Nikka. She went above and beyond to make sure Nikka had the necessities each day and that included serious and extended cuddles. This was our first time using Rover and I’m so glad that Emily took such great care of our girl. We highly recommend.”


About: I've been blessed to help care for pets of all kinds since I was little moving around and many relatives work in pet care so I've learned there is no animal too difficult. From energetic to needy, I am excited for the opportunity to share some love. August 18th I begin my senior semester at Washburn majoring in political science as well as be on the Debate team. I volunteer at the Topeka Rescue Mission and Loud Light's community action team in my free time. I can ensure availability on Tuesday, Thur-Sun, but it never hurts to reach out for help on Wed and Mon because I can often make it work. With my experience in house sitting I have never had a negative encounter. Not only have my clients been incredibly kind, they have also been very helpful and communicated perfectly what I need to do to care best. I am a very tidy individual but my best quality that my compassion is boundless. I am happy to take on any responsibility while an individual's pet is under my care.

About: I got a puppy for my son back my May of this year (2023) and we have had so much fun with her! Rather than getting our puppy a puppy to play with we thought we would try out dog sitting as a way to get some more fun furry friends in the house! We take our golden doodle on a walk every day for about 20-30 minutes. She has free access to the backyard whenever she wants through the doggy door. My 5 year old plays with her both inside and outside depending on the weather. Charlee goes to the groomers about every 8 weeks for her spa day. I will treat your fur baby just as I treat mine! All the snuggles, play, and love they deserve! My son will also provide more than enough to wear them out I promise that haha

About: I’ve spent the past year and a half immersed in the world of dog training, where I gained hands-on experience and a deep appreciation for the power of positive reinforcement. I’m also certified in K9 CPR, ensuring I’m prepared for any emergency. Today, I’m proud to be a dedicated team member at Woof’s Play and Stay, where my passion for dogs is more than a job—it’s truly my way of life. *My Work Schedule/Unavailable* Tue (7/22) - 1PM-7PM Wed (7/23) 6:30AM-1PM Thur (7/24) - UNAVAILABLE ALL DAY Fri (7/25) - 1PM-7PM Sat (7/26) - UNAVAILABLE ALL DAY Sun (7/27) - 1PM-7PM Wed (7/30) - 1PM-7PM Thur (7/31) - 6:30AM-1PM Fri (8/01) - 8AM-2PM Sat (8/02) - UNAVAILABLE ALL DAY Sun (8/03) - UNAVAILABLE ALL DAY Mon (8/04) - 12PM-6PM Tue (8/05) - 6:30AM-1PM While my schedule at Woof’s keeps me busy, I always make time to provide dedicated care for your pets.

“Jenna was awesome with taking care of my newly adopted cat! I came back to my place just as I had left it, with a happy cat that was well taken care of. I would most definitely book her again if I ever need a pet-sitter again, she's great with animals and very responsive any time I would message her.”

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was younger than 10 years old. My mother and I would volunteer our time at animal sactuaries to walk, play, bathe, feed, and even foster animals in our home. We rescued many pets off the street to support them and rehome them, as well as took part in training search and rescue dogs. I have always had a deep love for animals and supporting them just comes naturally. My experience fostering. re-homing, and supporting animals has allowed me the wisdom to be a wonderful support and playmate to your furry friend.

I am able to walk, feed, bathe and with direction of course I can give your pets medicine if needed! I am in Manhattan/Topeka and I am available! I’m flexible with hours and besides working out every other day for an hour I will be available at any time! At my clients home I will not only be taking care of your pets and giving them love I can also keep the place clean and keep plants watered. At my last pet sitting job I took the dog (115 pounds) on daily walks and was able to cuddle and play with both the dog and the cat! I also stayed the night at the last gig because the dog had separation anxiety. I work well with any animals!

About: I work in a vet clinic where animals are borders as a kennel tech and I make sure they are as comfortable as possible away from home. My working hours at my job are the same every day and it’s a two hour shift in the PM so my days are open other than that.

I don’t have many things I would be uncomfortable if requested.
