“This was our first time leaving our pup that has health issues. Our minds were at ease knowing Erin was there giving her all the attention she needed and then some! Loved the consistent check ins and photos and how well the house was cared for overall!”
“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!”
“Lulu was amazing! She gave us daily updates and pics of our animals and took excellent care of them. I felt very good about leaving them in her care. She will 100% be our first choice next time we need pet care!”
“Ell was great! She was attentive to our instructions of care and provided updates for us! We were at ease knowing they were in good hands! 10/10 would recommend booking Ell!”
“Stacey was excellent. Stepped in last minute on a Holiday weekend to take care of our boys. Even took the time a day before we left to come over and meet them, go over routines etc. Also, our boy Hugo got sick at the end of the visit and she cleaned up after him, stayed in touch with us until I arrived home to take over care. Thank you again Stacey! We definitely recommend you and will be happy to book you 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!”
“This was our first time using rover and Lori made it a great experience for us. Our dogs loved her and she took a lot of pictures and anytime I checked in she responded right away! Will definitely rebook her again!”

Here are a list of animals I’ve taken care of: -reptiles (snakes, bearded dragons and small liazards. But I am comfortable to care for any other reptile as well ) -dogs (both elderly and puppies) -cats ( kittens inculded and also ones with behavioral issues) I’m always open to take care of any kind of pet with with ever need like giving medicine or changing diapers. I would love to be able to take care of your fur baby wants and needs so you can be able to accomplish whatever life’s busy schedule brings you! I currently work part time five days outta the week but have free time ID love to use to take care of your fur baby! So you can take care of yourself and your schedule:) I have many toys and space in my area for pets to be able to walk and play with no worry of anything being in the way. I also bring treats and small pet snacks for a rewards for after walks and such!

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!

I would recommend Vanessa for any of your needs!”
