“Chris was great with our Olive. She had a great time socializing with the other dogs there. Chris provided us with several pictures throughout Olives stay, which we really enjoyed. Olive rubbed up against Chris’ legs before we left, as if to tell him goodbye. We’ll definitely use Chris again.”
About: I treat every pet like family, offering personalized care tailored to their age, needs, and personality. From playful puppies needing basic training and structure to senior pets requiring gentle routines and extra comfort, I’ve got the experience and heart to handle it all. I focus on creating a calm, safe, and loving environment where your pet can truly relax while you’re away. Whether it’s medication schedules, quirky habits, or cuddle preferences—I pay attention to the details that make your pet feel at home. I’m currently a full-time student, but I have plenty of time to give your pups the love and attention they deserve! I’m available for boarding on weekends and on weekdays after 2 PM. Your pet will enjoy plenty of playtime, care, and companionship while you’re away. I have a secure, fenced yard and one friendly dog who loves making new friends—your pup will have great company during their stay! I’m also happy to crate your dog if needed to match their routine or comfort level.
“My puppy ended up giving her some troubles by going potty in her house. I offered to give her extra for the trouble as I didn’t expect him to do that. When I went to pick him up she said she would love to watch him again and they had fun with him. I will definitely be asking her again to watch my puppy when needed!”
“Loretta is amazing!!! She watched my mini Aussie and always kept me updated and sent me many pictures!! Couldn’t have asked for anyone better!! Thank you so much!”
“Kayla watched our new puppy (10 weeks old) for us while on vacation out of the country for a week. Upon meeting her and Taylor, We knew from the first minute that she was an animal lover. Our Mastiff Lab - Milo immediately took to her. She has her own two dogs that were extremely healthy and lovable and that told us a lot. Her fiance Taylor also has a great love for animals. Kayla taught Milo how to go up and down the stairs and even worked with him on car rides. She took several photos and updated us all week. In the photos you could tell he was happy and playing with her two dogs Benji and Copper. She was very flexible on when we dropped him off and picked him up. So sweet and we will use her again. We highly recommend her because we know she will love our fur baby like we do. Greg and Shannon E.”

“Anna was great! She kept me updated on how Frankie was doing his whole stay. I only got 1 picture, but that's ok with me since it was just a 24 hr stay.”

“We boarded our pup Izzy with Angie and her family while were went on a vacation for 11 days. I received pictures and updates throughout the time Izzy stayed with them. She was well cared for and loved everyday. Knowing that our little girl was being taken so well care gave us peace of mind and allowed us to enjoy our time away. I would recommend Angie if you are in need of someone to board your pup.”
“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.”
About: I have completed countless hours of training and grooming with dogs. I am certified with the American Red Cross to provide if needed Canine CPR. I am able to provide day care and boarding needs to pet parents. I have had countless hours in training on canine behaviors and temperaments. I will provide care for your pet while you are away.

“I needed someone to watch my Doggies while I was at a Chiefs’ game and Ismaray came through. I have to be careful who I leave my dogs with because they both come from challenging backgrounds and they don’t react well to everyone. I’m always nervous when I leave them with someone on vacation, but I take them with me on a lot of my trips. Not everything I do is dog friendly so that’s when Rover comes in handy. Both of my Pups liked Ismaray from the start, I was surprised to see them so relaxed and comfortable with her. They were both on her lap soon after I dropped them off and she sent me lots of pictures to ease my mind and enjoy The Chiefs’ game. She definitely has a way with Doggies and will be my Dog Sitter any time I’m in St Joseph/Kansas City.”
About: I have watched my families cats/dog when they have went out of town, go over feed and water them. Play with them. Give them medicine as prescribed. I currently work from home. So I am able to let your fur baby out for a potty break when needed. As mine always lets me know when she needs out. I do have a pet door where the pups can go out to a small fenced yard if they are used to this also. I have a small fenced yard but also a large unfenced yard to run. We are approximately 1/4 mile off the road so no worries with traffic. I am always outside with my animals if they are outside the fenced area as sometimes we like to run and play more. I can keep anyone seperate if needed and crated if needed also.
