“Jonathan did a great job with our two cats. He was wonderful to work with and made sure that they were well taken care of while we were on vacation.”

About: I’ve been pet sitting for 3 years for many different families and I became their first pick when they needed their pets taken care of! I’ve also had my own pets for most of my life! I’m comfortable with dogs and cats! I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time to take care of your pets! I have alternating afternoon and morning availability throughout the week! I have experience with many different animals with different personalities! Making sure yours feel safe and loved is my top priority! I appreciate all the information about your pet you can provide!

About: I have grown up with animals all my life, I’ve given many baths and walked many dogs. I just love animals so much. Thank you! I work at Academy sports and Outdoors part time in poplar bluff, 20-30 hours a week. I can make the most of watching everybody’s loving babies!! I have two loving cats in my home. I do not have a fence so I do need the dogs to be leash trained. And I prefer the animals to be potty trained because unfortunately I can’t bring them to work with me.

“Jessica and Randy were wonderful! Repeatedly came to the house with minimal instructions, played with and generally charmed our dogs, and happily honored our last second request to give them particular medicine. Thank you!”

About: I've been an exotics/small animal vet tech for 5+ years. I have plenty experience in administering medication. My passion is animals, caring for them at home and at work. Understanding your pets' needs is my top priority. I'm currently working full-time, but my schedule is very flexible, giving me plenty of time to care and play with your pets at any point. I have a half-fenced in yard, for potty breaks and play time, which I am always present for. I have 1 dog, 1 foster cat, and 2 chinchillas to accompany your fur babies in any activities.

About: What sets me apart is the level of genuine care, patience, and attention I give every pet as if they were my own. I understand that every animal has a different personality, comfort level, routine, and emotional need, so I focus on creating a calm, safe, loving environment where pets feel secure while their owners are away. I’m especially good with anxious, shy, high-energy, and routine-oriented pets because I’m very observant, patient, and consistent. I pay close attention to behavior changes, body language, eating habits, medication schedules, and overall comfort to make sure pets stay happy and stress-free. I also have experience with: Senior pet care and slower-paced walks Puppies and younger pets who need patience, structure, and consistency Maintaining feeding schedules and routines Providing companionship, playtime, and emotional comfort Keeping homes clean, organized, and safe during stays Giving regular photo/video updates so owners feel reassured People describe me as dependable, calm under pressure, trustworthy, and easy to communicate with. I know how important it is to leave your pet with someone who is not only responsible, but genuinely caring and attentive. My goal is always to make both pets and owners feel comfortable, safe, and confident. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I have a very open and flexible schedule. I’m available throughout the day and week for walks, drop-ins, boarding, feeding schedules, playtime, companionship, and overnight care when needed. Since I’m home often, pets receive plenty of attention, supervision, consistency, and care rather than being left alone for long periods. I enjoy creating a calm, comfortable environment where pets can feel safe, relaxed, and part of the household routine. I’m also dependable with maintaining routines such as feeding times, potty breaks, exercise, medications, and regular updates for owners. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, so I make sure each pet gets individualized attention, patience, affection, and proper care based on their needs and personality. I provide a calm, safe, and structured environment where pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, supervision, and affection. Since I live on a farm with open space and a peaceful setting, pets have room to enjoy fresh air, walks, playtime, and a lower-stress environment while still being safely supervised at all times. In my home, I focus on keeping pets comfortable by maintaining their normal routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise, medications, rest time, and any special instructions from the owner. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality, energy level, and comfort needs so they feel secure and cared for while away from home. For walks and activity, I adjust based on the pet’s age, health, and temperament — whether that means active play for energetic dogs, slower walks for senior pets, or extra patience with anxious animals. Safety is always my top priority. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect both the pet’s routine and the owner’s space. I make sure pets receive reliable care, companionship, exercise, fresh food and water, clean-up, and lots of attention while helping maintain a calm, clean environment. I also provide regular photo and video updates so owners can feel reassured while they’re away. What’s most important to me is making pets feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for no matter where they are.
