Your Home & Pet Care Concierge Team

Fully Leave.
Every time
you go.

Your home. Your pets. Your routines… held.

Whether you run the household, the office, or both… you’re the one things depend on. Honey Home Keepers was built for exactly that person: the one who’s never fully off the clock, who’s always the last one to let go, and who rarely gets to exhale. We’re here so you can.

Our Philosophy

You’ve spent years being the person who holds everything together. Your home runs because you run it. Your pets are calm because you ensure they are cared for. The routines, the details, the contingencies. Those aren’t habits. They’re expressions of how deeply you care for the people and pets under your roof. We exist to hold those things, so you can be somewhere else, completely.

You’re not alone, as around 25% of pet owners report that the level of how much they actually enjoy their trip is impacted by their worry of their pet. And most of our first-time clients are either leaving their fur kids for the first time or have tried one of the alternatives: boarding that left their dog anxious, a neighbor they felt they owed, an app which meant them searching for a different sitter with different standards, each trip. None of it let them actually let go.

Honey Home Keepers is different because of what we believe the service actually is… not only pet care, but a real handoff. Someone who receives your standard of care with the same intentionality you hold it.

You’re not just hiring
a pet sitter.
You’re choosing the
freedom to fully leave.

From a client

“After the first couple of days away, I finally allowed myself to let go and enjoy the trip — realizing everything was going well back home, without me. Only checking updates and pictures because I missed my boy, not because I was worried about anything.” — Melissa R., Olathe

Why HHK

Not all pet care
is the same decision.

Boarding / Kennels
  • Pets leave their home and routine
  • Shared space with other unknown pets
  • No home care while you’re away
  • No relationship continuity
  • Their schedule, not yours
  • No daily updates on your home
  • Potentially stressful depending on personality, temperament, breed, and age
Great for Social, adaptable dogs who do well in group environments
Apps / Solo Sitters
  • Potentially not available each time
  • Search for a new sitter each booking
  • Re-submit notes and instructions each time
  • No backup if a sitter needs to cancel
  • Platform-managed, not relationship-managed
  • No home concierge layer
  • Many solo sitters are not fully insured or bonded
Great for Simple, occasional needs where consistency and home care aren’t the priority

Most in our industry offer great pet care. We offer something more rare: The ability to truly get away. To be fully present where you are, knowing your furry family members, your home, and your routines are all being cared for with the Honey Gold Standard.

The Story Behind HHK

A standard worth keeping.

Bethany Spilde — Founder & Owner

Growing up, I experienced what it looked and felt like when someone truly cared for a home and the people in it... not just cleaned it, but held it. My best friend's mom had the color-coded planner. Fresh flowers. Snacks always ready, dinner before anyone asked. I didn't realize then that I was collecting a standard... perhaps overlooked by many who see it daily.

Years later, a serendipitous moment changed everything. I was already doing work I loved, helping businesses grow and teaching at a local college. A neighbor asked if I'd watch her dogs and home while her family traveled... six months in advance, no desperation in the ask, just trust. The heart I'd already been bringing to my work, that drive to delight with excellence, found a new and beautiful space to be expressed in. I cared for their home the way I'd always believed a home deserved to be held... every detail, every routine, every small thing that makes a house feel like someone who loves it was there. When the family came home, her son said the words that became the origin of everything: "Mom, it's better than we left it."

I knew there was something beautiful and purposeful in that simple moment... and what unfolded organically validated that sense. Not just pet care, but a real handoff. Something that earned the full trust of the person who handles everything, and cares deeply for their people and their furry family alike.

Honey Home Keepers exists for that person. The one who holds it all. Who plans ahead, who knows all the details, rhythms, and quirks... and who rarely gets to put any of it down. This is for you. This is your exhale moment.
