Top rated West Plaza house sitters

“Taryn is wonderful. We will definitely hire her again. She’s very pleasant and great with our pets. They warmed to her immediately. She’s a problem solver (we had a minor plumbing issue which she solved on her own but contacted us). She stays in touch just enough so we know all is well but not so much that we can’t enjoy our time away. She went above and beyond. Excellent pet and house sitter!”


“Erin was so excellent with our two doodles! She sent us plenty of updates to give us peace of mind, and although we did not ask her to clean, I’m pretty sure she did. Our home did not look like somebody had been here dog sitting/house sitting while we were gone. We will definitely check to see if Erin is available again if we need future dog care. 10/10 highly recommend!”


“Ell was great! She kept me updated with photos, & I could tell my dogs were very well taken care of. She also took good care of my home & left it clean & organized! She also did me the favor of watering my outdoor plants. I will definitely be hiring Ell again!”

“Lori was great. She stayed at our house for a week and pet sat for our dog and three cats. She was very communicative, sent lots of pictures, and left us a clean house to come home to. Pets loved her, we will definitely be using her services again!”


“Went on a weekend getaway and Kami was so great with our girl. We have a newish adopted doggy who is reactive and Kami was so kind and patient with her. We will definitely rebook!”

About: I grew up with a rotating cast of foster dogs in addition to my own permanent companions. Working with foster dogs gave me a knack for getting to know a wide variety of dogs and learn to quickly get a handle on each creature's individual needs. I am a full time teacher, so my availability is mostly early mornings, evenings, and weekends. Anytime around holidays/school breaks I will have a lot more availability, so if you're going on vacation, I'm probably around! When I come to look after a dog, I always spend the time to sit with them and make sure they feel comfortable with me. At meal times, I will check and make sure they are eating appropriately, and when we go outside, I will keep an eye out to be sure they are doing what they need to do. I also take a few moments to take a lap around the house and make sure everything is in its place. When I am staying in the house, I make sure to fully clean up after myself and leave the space better than I found it.

About: I’ve been around dogs, my entire life! As a kid, we always had a family dog, and my parents often Fostered. This allowed me to become comfortable with a large range of dogs, regardless of age, energy levels, or size. When I was 12 I adopted a dog of my own, Gypsy, who is now 10. I crate trained and agility trained her, learning much about pet care along the way. Adopting her has allowed me to gain experience caring for dogs from a puppy to a senior. With these experiences, I’m confident in my ability to care for your dog, regardless of his or her needs. I’m a student so I’m available to spend time with your pets outside of classes! This typically involves times before noon and after 5, but I can be pretty flexible! I have a home with a generous yard and no roommates! My yard is not fenced in but I also live near a park where we can play!

About: I am a third year veterinary student in KC for the summer at an internship! I have worked as a Veterinary Assistant for 6 years now and have gained experience in handling and working with all breeds and sizes of dogs, as well as cats. I have also been petsitting for family friends for 5 years and have plenty of experience making pets feels comfortable while their owner is away. I am comfortable handling any dog or cat, with anything from giving medications to your senior pup to walks and exercise for the more energetic ones! I’m currently working full-time during the week with some evening hours available. I am also typically available all day during the weekend and on most holidays. As I am currently renting, I am not able to care for pets in my own home. However, I am more than willing to travel and take care of your fur-baby in the comfort of their own home! I have been trained on how to handle all types of animals with care and respect towards them, and would feel comfortable assisting with any training you are working with them on. Most of all, I absolutely love to hang out with any animal and would be honored to care for your fur baby!

“Kayla was an awesome house and dog sitter. Our dog can have some issues with people at our house and Kayla was so good with her! She communicated super well. Lots of updates and pictures. Was a 10/10 house guest, everything was left in perfect order. Our dog loved her by the end of the stay. Can not recommend Kayla enough to watch your pets.”

“Kristianna did a great job with my dog!! Ghil is not always super friendly, but Kristianna was super patient and understanding. I felt pretty good about it since she’s already a vet tech, but just watching her interact with my dog made me feel 10x better. She’s super sweet and genuinely loves animals—I couldn’t recommend her more!! <3”
