About: I’ve had pets my whole life and currently have a cat named Charlie and a dog named Willow. I love taking care of my own pets, my friends’, and my clients’. I mostly work from home, so I would love to check in on your pet and give them the love they need. I have a flexible schedule and can work with your schedule. I am very respectful of animals’ needs and space. I have a dog that is kenneled at night and a cat that has her own room in my house. I can also follow specific directions for how to care for your pets.

Amber is great with my malinois Hendrix! She always leaves good notes on how he did on his walks and sends photos so I get to see my sweet boy while I’m at work! She has great communication and has been very flexible with me.

Michael's been such an asset to our family. I have to travel for work sometimes, and can be away for months at a time. Knowing Michael will be there to walk our girl gives me such peace of mind. And getting photos from their walks really makes my day when I am feeling homesick. Thank you, Michael!

Emily went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable since we are new to having a dog walker. Emily’s updates and pictures were fantastic. Cyrus loved her snuggles and pets! He was nice and tired after a 2 mile walk.

Chandler does a great job with my old pup. She helps give his meds in the afternoon and lets him lead the way on how far or how long he is interested in walking. We are grateful for Chandler.

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

About: I work part-time at CityDogs, a boarding/day care center for dogs of all shapes and sizes! I have experience with many types of dogs and their different needs. Other than dogs I have experience with cats, birds, reptiles, bugs and fish. I have taught my birds to talk and whistle, mice to jump through hoops, and I have trained my dog in basic tricks. I genuinely care for and love animals and will give your pet(s) my undivided attention when caring for them!! I am a full time college student so I won’t be available 24/7, but I will make sure to set aside time for your pet! My availability- Mondays: After 9pm Tuesdays: After 10:30am Wednesdays:After 9pm Thursdays:After 10:30am Fridays: After 7pm Saturdays/Sundays- Free! I don’t offer services in my own home at this moment, but when caring for pets in my clients home I make sure to respect and clean up my surroundings and their animals space.

About: I've had dogs and cats my whole life. My husband and I currently have 3 cats and 2 dogs of our own - all rescues! We tend to gravitate towards the more challenging types, (older, behaviorally "challenged", or generally the "once you get to know them, they're really sweet" type). I've managed two different Doggy Day Care facilities: one here in KC, and another in White Plains, NY. I've also got years of experience working with dog rescue groups here in KC. Because of all this experience, there's no pet I can't handle. I'm comfortable with dogs and cats of all shapes, sizes and attitudes! My current full time job is 100% remote, so I'm very flexible when it comes to your pet care needs, (pop-ins or longer stays. As long as you have wifi, I'm good). From my time working in professional pet care, I'm very used to all types of situations. I free-feed my own pets, but I have no problem following your feeding/care schedules, or maintaining a medication regimen.

About: After years of fostering for our local shelter and greyhound rescue, we are looking for more new & creative ways to love on dogs without adopting more! Since 2020 we have fostered over 20 adoptable dogs and not only helped instill good behavior and habits but also actively worked to find them wonderful forever homes. Our 2 yellow pups get daily walks and are always happy to welcome visitors to hang out with during the hours that they can't be out on the leash. Mom (Jill) works from home and actually has to get some work done once in awhile, which is where Daughter (Julia) comes in handy! Julia is a passionate dog-loving teenager whose idea it was to earn some extra bucks during summer vacation, doing what she loves: entertaining and doting on all varieties of pups. We would love to earn your trust and become your dog's next favorite humans! We are really flexible! Jill is a full-time remote worker and is home all day during the week. Julia gets home from school around 4 and happily takes the evening shift (after homework, of course)! And we have backup too - Mark is a dog-loving dad who also works from home and is always willing to help out. We have a fenced-in yard and a 4 bedroom, 2 story house with basement that is fully open for pet occupation! We have one dog who loves active play with visitors, and one dog who just likes to lay low and snooze, so we can vibe with whatever your pup prefers. One of the things we excel at is helping dogs learn good behavior, so if there's a habit, trick or obedience initiative that you want us to work on while we're in charge, we will roll up our sleeves and get busy! Walks? We love 'em, and our furbabies have great leash-walking manners and promise to be a good influence. They get 2 miles of steps every day. If that's too much for your pup, we can pare it down to whatever you need. We have lots of experience with senior dogs, sighthound breeds, potty training, hospice care, administering meds and other special needs.

Really appreciated how Jennifer wanted to get to know our doggie better before she is boarding him in March. She genuinely was interested in what was best for him and putting him at ease. You could tell how comfortable she was with any situation and we can't wait for Zachy to spend some time with her!
