“Vanessa was awesome! We only booked a drop in, but she helped us out a lot when we needed our girls to be taken potty while we were out of town for the day. Thank you again! We’ll definitely rebook in the future.”


About: Hi, I’m Sandy! 🐾 I have over 8 years of experience caring for dogs for friends, family, and clients. As a lifelong dog lover and dog owner myself, I understand that pets are family and deserve to be treated with love, patience, and attention. In addition to raising and caring for my own dogs, I worked at a doggy daycare in Los Angeles for a year and a half after COVID, where I gained hands-on experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. Before moving to Kansas City, I also provided in-home care for an Celebrity’s Pomeranian, staying at the owner’s home to ensure their pet felt safe, comfortable, and well cared for while they were away. Since relocating to Kansas City, I’ve cared for two Afghan Hounds through overnight house sitting, including a senior dog that required extra attention and care. Whether your pet is young and energetic or older and needs a gentler approach, I am committed to providing reliable, loving care tailored to their needs. I’m also a proud first-time cat owner and have experience cat sitting for friends in Los Angeles. I understand that cats need patience, comfort, and personalized care to feel safe and happy while you’re away. 🐾 My goal is to make both pets and owners feel comfortable, confident, and stress-free while they’re apart. I treat every dog as if they were my own and look forward to meeting your furry family member! Pet care is a natural part of my daily life. As a pet owner myself, I understand the importance of maintaining routines, providing exercise, playtime, companionship, and lots of love. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets the attention they deserve, whether it's daily visits, walks, overnight stays, or extended care. I make it a priority to keep owners updated and ensure their pets feel safe, comfortable, and happy while they're away. My top priority is making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their familiar environment. I follow each pet's routine closely, including feeding schedules, exercise, medications, and any special instructions provided by the owner. With experience caring for puppies, senior dogs, cats, and multiple breeds, I understand that every pet has unique needs. When house sitting, I treat both your pet and your home with the utmost respect, providing attentive care, companionship, and regular updates for your peace of mind.
“Nicole was amazing! Very friendly very personable. Took great care of our cat while we were away. Gave detailed reports of how he was doing. Kept track of some of his behaviors we’ve been monitoring. And sent some of the CUTEST photos. 10 out of 10. Will definitely book with her again in the future.”


“We had Michael provide drop in services while we were away. Michael is very professional, thorough, and very good about posting updates while we were away. Our little Boston terrier was very much at ease when we arrived home; everything was in order. We would definitely recommend Michael to others.”

“Kara has been watching my cat on and off for the past year. She is incredibly reliable and always responds quickly to a request. This last booking I was gone for almost a week and she noticed that my cat was lonely and offered to spend extra time with him the next day to help lift his spirits. I couldn’t recommend her enough for you furbabe. Thanks Kara!!!”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs since I was 9 years old, we had a mutt, a Border Collie, and a Pit Bull. This past year, I also dog-sat a friend’s Akita for a few months. I absolutely love animals! I don’t currently have a pet of my own, so I really enjoy the opportunity to care for others. I’d love the opportunity to help you out and spend time with your pet! I’m available to walk your pet early in the morning or after 5 p.m. I work full-time but have the flexibility to work remotely, so if needed I will be able to give your pet the extra attention they require. While caring for your pet, I’ll do my best to make them feel as comfortable and happy as possible. I’ll keep them on the same schedule they’re used to and follow the rules and routines they’re familiar with. Whether I’m boarding or house-sitting for your furry friend. I try to make it as comfortable for your furry friend as possible
“Jill and her daughter took such good care of our two cats! She left detailed notes about their check in, including lots of pictures. It made me feel assured that our kitties were safe and happy while we were gone.”

“We will definitely be using Briana again to take care of our pup! She came ahead of time to meet us and our dog and go over what was needed. She was reliable and I loved seeing the updates and photos while we were gone. Our pup was happy and so are we! Thank you!”

“Joann was amazing with our dog, Willie. She took great care of him, sent fun photos/videos, and shared good written notes on how things were going. We are so grateful and will definitely be return customers!”

“We had to go out of town last minute for a funeral and my pets loved Ava last time so I was hoping she would be available. We got lucky! She spent some quality time with them on what would otherwise be an extremely long day and I was so appreciative!”

About: Hi everyone. I live with my sister who has two golden retrievers, and I also have two cats. I have always loved animals and am looking for occasional jobs. I have walked a variety of dog breeds, and have housesat for several friends and neighbors. Starting in January I will be starting my school psychology practicum which will be from 7 am-3 pm, but am free in the evenings and most weekends. I am available after 3 pm on weekdays. I am also free on weekends or over holidays whenever school is out. I can be flexible, but based around our school districts calendar. I have experience with big and little dogs. I enjoy walking them, playing in the yard or at the park, as well as spending one on one time with them. I also am used to playing with more than one cat, so I am comfortable with this as well.
“Monica provided great care for my cat like she always does. she provided pictures and videos of him and also gave updates as she did the drop ins. Monica administered his insulin well and with care! My cat loves her!”

“Sandy was so dependable! We asked her to let our dogs out midday for about a month and she always communicated well and helped us out so much! Our stubborn little pups were fond of her right away :)”

Melissa was outstanding with Luna!! We had a meet-and-greet before our first day to make sure Luna was comfortable. She immediately gravitated to Melissa, who was diligent in asking questions and making sure she would be as prepared as possible. Melissa was a fantastic communicator, quick to respond and provided amazing updates with lots of great pictures! We will absolutely be working with Melissa again and have already requested her for another visit for Luna!

Evey has been absolutely terrific with my little rescue. He is anxious about many things, but Evey spends quality time with him at her daily drop-in and is helping him to come out of his shell. I can tell he is enjoying her visits by how he interacts with me when I arrive back home.

Grace! You are so wonderful! Thank you so much for watching our boys! We were out of town for an extended holiday and it was so relieving seeing how much fun the boys had with Grace. We anxiously waited for photos and the report card and were never disappointed. She took amazing care of them and we can not thank her enough!

Lizzy was amazing for our dog and cat! She went above and beyond to care for both of them, wrote detailed updates on each visit, and provided great company to them both. We've never felt better heading out of town knowing that they were so cared for. Definitely recommend Lizzy, she's awesome!

Whitney is an absolute lifesaver! She was incredibly flexible with my last-minute request and took such great care of Loko while I was away. She sent constant photo updates, communicated perfectly, and I came home to a very happy, well-cared-for pup. Highly recommend!
