About: I have 25 years experience taking care of dogs. From in home care to animal shelters & with all type, temperament, and size of dog! I own my own company and am a contractor for a auto company. I am kind of a Jack of all trades type of person. I will follow all instructions and requests to provide the absolute best care for your furry four legged family members! I look forward to meeting your pup!!
“Michael was great! Super quick to respond and willing to help on extremely short notice. My boyfriend and I are super sick and he took time out of his evening to come help our puppy get rid of some energy on a long walk. Much appreciated!”
“Arrica is amazing! Hands down one of the best walkers we’ve had. She’s professional, flexible, highly responsive, thorough and patient! She does great with my dog Mello, who warmed up to her quickly. He loves seeing her come through the door and we could not ask for better!”
“She did a great job with my puppy and stayed in touch with me while I was out of town. She was sweet about schedule changes due to the heat. I will definitely use her again”
“Lori is emphatically wonderful. She always communicates, updates with detail, takes my two snub nosed dogs for long walks, makes sure they have plenty of water afterward and takes lovely pictures that brighten up the day. So lucky to have found such a kind and considerate caretaker for my pets. Lori is a true gem.”

“Wendy was FABULOUS! She was very kind and responsive, and was happy to modify the schedule when our needs changed. I would absolutely work with her again!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my experience with dogs. I worked at a wonderful dog shelter called KC Paws that taught me about dog handling, body language, and temperament. I was a shift lead so I have experience administering medications - liquid and pills. I am also a foster for T.A.R.A, another wonderful shelter, so I have TONS of experience with puppies as young as 5 weeks old. While I have not worked in a professional setting with cats, I have 3 of my own and I have fostered two sweet cats. I’m finishing up school with one class left so at the moment, Rover is my full time job! I’m available unless otherwise stated on my schedule for whatever care your pet needs - day and night. Feel free to send me a message about scheduling questions to see if we can work something out! :) I only offer dog sitting in your home because I’ve got too many animals at my house and your dog or cat’s safety is my biggest priority. I am diligent when it comes to following instructions (with medications, food allergies, special needs) as well as with making sure your home is all locked up when I leave.
“Professional, accommodating, and reliable. Ashley did a wonderful job looking after my senior dog whilst I was out of town. I wouldn't hesitate to utilize her services again in the future!”
“Ron was amazing! Not only did he always arrive when he said he would to walk Ziggy, he helped with 2 other animals at our house also. I would highly recommend Ron!”
“Patricia did a wonderful job walking our pup! She was very communicative and I loved the updates she gave us! She went above and beyond. I highly recommend!”
About: I’ve taken care of animals for 12+ years and I’ve been trusted to watch my friends and families pets! I love taking you dog on walks, play with your cat for hours, and clean! I currently work part-time so I have plenty of time in my schedule to watch your pets and give them plenty of love and attention! I will always make sure the floor is picked up so curious animals don’t eat the wrong things. Always have your dog on a leash unless in a fenced in area.
About: I grew up on a farm where I cared for animals of all kinds. I’ve trained my dogs in obedience and agility for 4-H for 9 years, we even went to the Iowa State Fair! In college I worked at a doggy daycare as a dog handler and I am currently employed as a dog groomer and trainer. I’m new to the Overland Park area and I have a flexible part time job. My schedule is open and flexible! Whatever works for you! Safety is my top priority. I treat every pet in my care like they are my baby because they’re your baby. Secure fencing, leashes, and collars are an important part of my process. I am also trained to recognize signs of stress in your pet, as well as other safety training through my job.
“Chandler was wonderful. Alton loved her right away, and he’s usually a good judge of character. Not only was she fantastic with Alton, she was easy to work with and sent so many great pictures! Highly recommend.”
About: Neighbors, friends and family trust and rely on me when they need someone to take care of their fur babies. I am extremely dependable and competent. I am semi-retired and currently working part-time with a flexible schedule. I can work my schedule around your needs. Very flexible and willing to work with you. I have a fenced back yard and currently do not have any of my own animals as I love to take care of yours. Please let me know what pet care needs you require, and we can work together.
About: I genuinely love spending time with animals and getting to know each dog’s personality. I have experience with everything from playful puppies to sweet senior dogs, and I’m great at picking up on what each pup needs—whether that’s a long walk, some playtime, or just a chill hang. I’ll treat your dog like my own and make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and happy. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine this summer since I have some free time before my next clinical rotation. As a grad student, I love staying active between study sessions—going on walks, visiting parks with my own dog, and checking out new coffee spots around Kansas City. I’ve lived here for two years and love getting to know new pets (and their people!) while exploring the city. I’m very organized and attentive when it comes to caring for pets, whether in my home or yours. I love learning and sticking to a routine that supports the pup. I’ll always respect your dog’s boundaries, whether that means keeping walks short and calm, limiting interactions with other dogs or people, or sticking closely to their comfort zone. I’m quick to respond, happy to send updates and pics, and I’ll make sure your dog feels safe, supported, and pampered while you’re away.

Paul R.
“Paul is so good with Rousseau! He always takes great care of him and you can tell just how much Rou loves him by his excitement as soon as he sees Paul or even hears his name. As Rou has gotten older Paul has adjusted his time from longer walks to slow down and take more breaks so he can keep up. We appreciate his attention to those important details for our fur baby! It’s so comforting to know he is in good hands!”
