“I am so glad we found Kelsey and her family! Our dog Buddy stayed for 8 nights and I was afraid our already spoiled pup wouldn’t want to come home :-) Kelsey sent us photos and videos of him having a great time getting lots of attention and love. It’s such a relief to know someone that can watch our baby when we are out of town!!”
“This was our first time using Rover and Brandin, his wife Caroline and family were wonderful to work with. They helped ease our nerves and reassured us our dog would do great, which he did. They are very nice people and great to work with. Quick to respond and took wonderful care of our dog. We plan to use them again and it’s nice that our dog has another loving family to go to while we’re away.”
“Nathalie was welcoming and great to work with! She was great at updating us on how our dog was doing. I’m sure our dog enjoyed himself socializing . First experience using rover and it was great with Nathalia!”
“Matt took perfect care of our dog while we were away for a long weekend. He even went above and beyond to get him a new toy and a nice walk on a beautiful day. He communicated with us everyday with pictures and updates .”
“Jordyn is awesome! She has a great, safe home and took great care of our dogs. I would book with her again and recommend to anyone! She’s super friendly too and easy to talk to.”
“Cal and their dog Rory did such a fantastic job watching Stella for me that I’ve already asked them to keep her again. Stella could not have gotten more love anywhere and she had a great time. Cal sent me pictures and updates multiple times a day and couldn’t have been greater. I wholeheartedly recommend them!”
“We couldn't be happier with the care Yana provided for Apollo and Hermes! From the moment we met her, it was clear that she truly cares about animals. Yana kept a close eye on our boys, ensuring they were safe, happy, and well entertained while we were away. They went above and beyond, not just with daily love and playtime, but by taking them to Christmas at her family’s house! They had so much fun, and it was heartwarming to see how well they were integrated into the family’s festivities. The boys loved them, and it felt like they were part of their extended family too! Yana has a natural ability to connect with animals, and it was a huge relief to know they were in such capable hands. Her communication was top-notch throughout, and we loved getting pupdates with pictures on their adventures. We highly recommend her and will definitely be asking for her help again in the future. Thank you, Yana, for everything you did for Apollo and Hermes!”
“Nadia was absolutely wonderful with Barney! She was so kind, helpful, and made sure he was well cared for the entire time. She sent us frequent updates and adorable photos, which really gave us peace of mind. Barney had so much fun during playtime, and her dogs were so well-behaved and friendly. It was the perfect environment for him. You can tell Nadia truly cares and puts love into what she does. We’re so grateful for her and will definitely book with her again!”
“Anne and her family were great with my little dogs! We will definitely use them again if we need to in the Emporia area again. She was also very responsive when I texted her!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and have always been comfortable caring for them. Over the years, I’ve dog sat for multiple friends, providing everything from daily walks to overnight stays. I’m familiar with different breeds, sizes, and temperaments, and I know how important it is to stick to each dog’s routine. Whether it’s feeding, playing, walking, or just keeping them company, I treat every dog like they’re my own. Pet care isn’t just a job to me, it’s something I genuinely enjoy doing. My work schedule varies from week to week, but I’m consistently available on my days off—especially for overnight care. Since I work night shifts, I tend to stay on a night schedule even when I’m off, which makes me a great fit for pets that need attention, supervision, or comfort overnight. I’m also available for evening walks or drop-ins depending on the day. Feel free to reach out to check my availability—I’m flexible and always happy to help when I can! I live in an apartment which means small and medium dogs are easiest for me to host. My apartment complex has a dog park as well as a large unfenced field. I also live in a nice neighborhood so it would be quite safe to take them for walks.
“Amanda was great at communicating before and during our pup's stay. Our girl was definitely well taken care of and had a lot of fun! We will look forward to having her with Amanda again in the future!”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 12 years old and have loved them as one of my children. My family and I are looking for a great opportunity to love and care for your pets. We have a fenced in backyard and we love to play and walk with dogs. My wife and I work Monday through Friday, but are available to care for pets in the evenings, but on the weekends are available to board and care for pets the entire weekend. We have a privacy fence with a big back yard with plenty of space for pets to run and play. We also have a safe and big home in a safe neighborhood for walks.
“Maisy was wonderful! From setting up a meet and greet to being so helpful throughout the stay. She sent pictures to keep us updated. The rates were reasonable and worth it. Will definitely book again in the future!”
“This is the 1st time we have ever used an app like this. And it was a very positive experience. Sally was amazing with our dog. So tentative and put us at ease that our 4 legged baby was being well taken care of. She sent us multiple video and pics so we could see what Tacoma was up to. Highly highly recommend her! Thank you Sally!”
“Jessica was wonderful! She sent plenty of pictures to reassure me that Felix was doing okay, and she let him lounge with her on the furniture. She was super friendly, laid back, and accommodating; and her back yard was great! I will definitely contact her if I need a dogsitter again. Thanks, Jessica! :)”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs back home my personal favorite were my wiener dogs. I’ll treat them just like my niece or nephew. I’ve been a house sitter looking after dogs for some of my colleagues and family.I also got a two puppers of my own Just leave the dogs schedule and requirements and I’ll do exactly that. I also have a background in medical training as a hospital corpsman in case of any emergencies. I’m going back to school full time so My schedule is pretty flexible these days. I have a pretty good routine with my dogs so extra dogs are no problem. My dogs already have a set schedule, they love to play in the backyard. My house has plenty of rooms and easy access through the doggy door to the back yard. And a lot of room around the house.
About: Dogs and cats have always been part of my world, and I’ve always connected with them deeper than most! Coming into adulthood, my first fur baby was “adopted” from my grandparents. Since then, I’ve adopted two fur babies, become a fur step mama and fostered several others! Caring for your pets the way I care for my own is my passion and a non-negotiable in my work. My current clients often refer to me as “Aunt Nae” when it comes to their fur babies, THAT is how much I mean to them and them to me! The only job I have is remote, and as necessary! So I am able to be around with and for your pets 24/7. One of my standard practices is to only leave your pet(s) for 4 hours or less, unless previously given the pet parents permission. Your pets will be treated as my own would, while following your house rules! If they’re allowed on furniture, I’ll snuggle them on the couch and in the bed! If they’re not, I respect that too! Used to getting up and walking at 5am? I’ll keep that routine! My goal is to maintain their “normal” while you are away and to be the best stand in “auntie” or caregiver for them.
About: Hi, I'm Cassie! I grew up with cats, but became a dog person the day I unexpectedly met my pup Rebel 12 years ago! I wasn't planning on getting a dog that day, but I fell in love the moment I saw him, and the rest is history! Our girl, Kimmy (10), joined us in 2020 when a friend needed to rehome her. She's a social butterfly. They love making new friends, so we'd love to host your little one(s), and welcome them into our home. We have a fully-fenced back yard to run and play in. Dogs are allowed on the furniture here, but I'm happy to follow any rules you may have for your dogs if you prefer they not get on furniture. I currently work part-time outside of the house, so I'm rarely away longer than 6 hours at a time. I'll have lots of time to play with your pups! Your dog will be safe at my house. I have a 6ft privacy fence around most of the backyard, and a 4ft picket fence along one edge. I never leave the dogs unattended in the yard. I have a large dog crate if needed.
