House Sitting in Waverly

About: Even at a young age, I am very trusted by friends, family, and my community. I have spent countless hours with all breeds, sizes, and ages. Dogs have always had a special place in my heart and I cherish each old and new relationship! I am blessed to still have my 12 year old red fox lab in my life, so I take care of her daily. I have many loved ones who sometimes need help caring for their pets and I am always first on their list to contact. I love to be outside and partaking in physical activity, so I would love to provide a service for walking/exercising your pets! When clients communicate with me how they want me to meet their dogs needs, I will do everything I can to meet that expectation!

“Desiree has been the biggest delight to work with. Her communication is impeccable. Any questions I have asked she has responded immediately answering all questions and then some. We could enjoy our time away with family knowing our babies were in good hands. She kept me updated as to how they were throughout. We were so pleased that we have already booked our next visit.”

“Shylina was so sweet with our June who is a little anxious- she was calm with Shylina right from the first meet and greet! The house was just as we left it. We got lots of photos of a happy June, too! Thank you so much Shylina. We will be calling on you again!”

“Marissa was wonderful with Jackson! She kept me informed and shared pictures while we were away. She was also house sitting for us which made our vacation worry free! I will definitely use Marissa in the future.”

About: Hi there! My name is Michelle and Ive been a pet owner since I was a child. My family always had dogs, cats, pocket pets, and the occasional tarantula. Im the niece of a large animal veterinarian whose clinic I volunteered at after school and summers. Currently my husband and I are owned by a Labrador Retriever and an English Setter. We are active with a national English Setter rescue, which is where our beautiful boy came from, and run volunteer transports of dogs on their way to foster or forever homes. Im semi-retired! My routine is whatever it needs to be from day to day. Im a firm believer in being flexible to meet the situation's needs. Your pets would never be alone. We also have 2 friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company and walks, along with outdoor play would help with mental stimulation.

“Sophia was wonderful. Great communication with us. The dogs loved her and were very comfortable with her. I highly recommend her and we hope to book with her again.”

“Last year Sweet Pea had to stay a week at the dog kennel which left her a nervous wreck. What a difference this year! After over 2 weeks with McKenna, but in her familiar surrounding and routine, she behaved totally normal. As is typical for cats, Smidgen kitty was a little shy for a few days, but then warmed up to McKenna for play and petting. McKenna kept our house and yard in good shape as well. When problems arose with the animals or our old house, McKenna contacted me how I wanted her to handle it, then did it without hesitation. When my wife was longing to see Sweet Pea, McKenna even drove our dog to/from the rehab facility a couple of times. McKenna is very compassionate with animals and humans alike. I would definitely hire her again.”

“Amanda went beyond the call of duty caring for our two dogs, who are quite comfortable at home but had never been watched by a stranger for an extended period of time (18 days). Both dogs took right to Amanda. She supplied text and photo updates throughout our time away. She followed instructions to the letter and didn't hesitate to ask questions or suggest an idea if it came up. The house was spotless when we got back, and the dogs were happy. There's no question we'll seek out Amanda again if the need arises. We don't think you'll find a better sitter.”

“Jenny put up with our ridiculous Frenchies and even collected eggs from the chickens each day. The house was in the shape we left it and she communicated each day with updates. Would recommend!”

About: I have experience pet sitting dogs, cats, lizards, turtles, rabbits, chicken and more! While cats and dogs ate important family members so are all our other creature friends! I have also worked at the Minnesota Wildlife Rehabilitation Center, rescuing and rehabilitating injured birds from across the state. I’m currently a college student in my last year at UWRF, I’m free most evening to come see your pet and eager to discuss schedule specifics more in depth! I’m happy to drop by and play or stay overnight. Once summer is here I can be avail during the day! Going to your home to watch your pets helps to reduce stress for them when you’re gone by allowing them to stay in a place they already trust. That being said I’m also happy to take pets on adventures to things like the dog park or pet store to help give them enrichment!

About: I’ve worked with dogs and cats in many different ways. I have owned dogs my entire life, plus a few cats. I volunteer at the Humane Society in Kansas City while at school where I work directly with the shelter dogs. I have house sat for multiple family friends and am ready to take on new pups and cats! I am currently home from school for the summer so am looking to fill the time. I work part time as a server a few times a week. During the day I often just workout, read a book, or hang with my own dogs. I have fostered a dog before and can adjust well to your dogs needs. I’ve practiced crate training, furniture restrictions, and other small training tasks. My house has an open yard which my dogs are free to run around in when they are not on leash to go potty.

About: I have worked for roughly two years dog sitting for friends and family. Typically these have been in my own home - occasionally overnight. I have a fenced in back yard for my 3 dogs & 2 cats so I have experience with both :) I have complete availability currently, so my dog at home gets quite a lot of walks and park time. If possible, i also try to socialize him with people each day. Typically I take my dog to the dog park in the evening with a long walk in the morning. This works best for my dogs energy levels, but each dog is different. I am also trying to socialize my dog in public as he is a bit scared of humans so we try to hit some breweries here and there.

About: I have cared for animals of many kinds since I was young and have experience with parrots, dogs, cats, and reptiles. Friends and family frequently rely on me to care for their pets while they are away. I am currently studying to become a veterinary technician, which helps me provide knowledgeable and attentive care for every pet. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to provide consistent care and attention for pets. I am available most weekends and weekday afternoons, ensuring your pet gets regular exercise, playtime, and supervision. I provide safety, trust & environment by making sure that your pet is safe in my care, I will make sure they are never off leash when they go outside, and always confined when I leave! Your pet will always be in safe hands!

“Hannah was a great communicator before, during and after taking care of our lab, Lulu. She left the house clean AND with a small vase of fresh flowers And a crocheted deer cap!! Wow what a great experience.”

About: As someone who has loved animals since I was a child, having the opportunity to look after a range of different pets/companions is a real dream come true for me. Growing up with multiple dogs and cats I can ensure all future clients that I am fully capable in the ability to take proper care of your furry friend. I’m currently working part time as an assistant teacher for pre-K Mondays Wednesdays and Fridays and have full availability Tuesdays and Thursdays/ weekends to help with your pets :) As someone who loves the outdoors, I always prioritise fresh air and some sun when taking care of my pets anyone else’s companion. Making sure the animals in my care are content and living the life they deserve .

About: I’ve had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember—everything from energetic Labs to laid-back Basset Hounds, plus a rescue puppy that I personally helped train and grow into a well-behaved companion. That hands-on experience has taught me how to understand different temperaments, energy levels, and care needs. From basic training and leash manners to patience with shy or stubborn pups, I’ve learned that every dog is unique and deserves personalized attention. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I genuinely enjoy building trust and creating a positive, fun experience for them every time we’re together. Whether your dog needs a quick potty break, a long adventure walk, or just some extra love while you’re busy, I treat every walk like it matters—because it does. I tailor each visit to your dog’s personality, pace, and needs, making sure they feel safe, stimulated, and happy every step of the way. You’ll get regular updates, photos, and peace of mind knowing your furry friend is in caring, responsible hands. From playful pups to senior sweethearts, I’m experienced, attentive, and ready to keep tails wagging. Full time job but available in the evenings and weekends to take care of your furry friends, whether that’s a potty break or a walk on my way home from work, or hanging out all weekend! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all instructions closely—whether that’s feeding schedules, walk times, medication, or any specific habits your pet is used to. During visits, I make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and affection, not just the basics. I keep their environment clean, refresh water bowls, and make sure they’re safe and comfortable before I leave. I’m also mindful of your home, treating it with respect and keeping everything just as I found it.

“Kay does a great job taking care of my cats and chickens! She’s very knowledgeable about cat behavior and nutrition, too. I plan to use her services often!”

I will ask to understand your needs wants and values period if there are certain things that you need accommodations, for I would love to understand them so that we can have a very clear understanding so that you can enjoy your time away from your pets as best as possible.
