Pet Sitting in Altona

About: Hello, My name is Mei, I am a nurse. My husband Mitchell is a software developer. My husband works from home and I only work 2 days a week in a hospital. We have two children, Leon and Lily. We have been dog sitting since 2014. We also have three dogs Sasa, Pawpaw, and Loot. We adopted Loot on our vacation in Arizona in 2022. Our dogs are well socialized with other dogs. They will start playing with new friends in no time! We have a BIG fenced yard and lots of dog toys! We have experience taking care of senior dogs on multiple daily medications and also little puppies. So just bring your fur babies to our house, and I guarantee they will have LOTS of fun and attention! My husband works from home. I work 2 days a week in a hospital. There will be somebody home throughout the week to watch the dogs. We have a fenced yard and we also put chicken wires all around it to make sure it is completely safe for the dogs. We make sure that dogs have potty break at least every 2 hours. My husband's office is in the walkout basement. He keeps the dogs around him in the basement when he is working.

“Yvette was AWESOME with my two cats. She was thorough and did great giving my senior cat his medication even when he was being stubborn and spent the remaining time playing with the kitten and wearing her out.”

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats my whole life, always feeding, walking, and loving them. I’ll treat your pets with the same care and attention. I am currently working a hospice job & working at a restaurant. I’m looking to do something in my free time involving something I love! In my home, pets get safe, loving care with walks, play, and cuddles. In yours, I follow routines exactly, ensuring comfort, happiness, and trust every visit.

About: Owned my own boarding, grooming and training facility- boarding over 120 pets at a time for 14 years ! I know PETS and how to care for all breeds! I've had horses, rabbits, hedge hogs, guinea pigs, and a pet rooster as well as cats and dogs. I've done CPR on dogs, a duck and an infant racoon in the wild. I'm an animal lover! I'm very good at what I do, professional and mature. Can give meds. Will not take pit bulls though. Personal preference. Been chewed apart by one. I work part time at Aldi in Clinton and my schedule is flexible, so I'm flexible. I can usually alter my day we'll to make all things work out GREAT. need your mail picked up? Lights on and off ? Let me know. I have a 120 lb very friendly bernese mountain dog that loves all dogs that come thru our door. We also have a very friendly golden retriever. Both our dogs welcome any new boarder! Non aggressive. If I board in my home, he would be fine. Your pet would be welcome on the guest bed and futons. Basically, have its own bedroom. If I come to your home, I will follow your instructions, and exercise, feed, brush, etc. However you wish. We live on a private lake with lots of acreage but no fenced yard, so if your dog stays here, it would be leashed, even a long leash. I DO live in Montrose but will service the Henry Co and St Clair Co Mo areas depending on the needs of that day and week. Please tell me your schedule and how I can help you. My pets are family as are any pets that visit or any that I care for. Whatever they need for the best life possible is what I provide. You should provide all your own food, treats, chew toys, etc.

About: I have taken care of and been around animals my entire life. I am very passionate about safe animal care. I understand that our pets are our family. Unfortunately, they can’t always go with us on our many adventures. With your trust, I will offer the love and care for them until your return. I currently work full time as a nurse. I am off in the summer and have very flexible holiday days off. I am flexible with before and after work and am available most weekends. I work very close to my home. So if a furry friend is visiting. I am always able to perform a lunch check in as well. I have a fenced in yard and a doggy door for constant access. I have an outdoor kennel as needed and an indoor crate as well. I have two very friendly dogs and one cat that believes he is a dog. If you’re not comfortable boarding with other animals then home visits may be the best option! Please don’t hesitate to ask questions.

My whole life revolves around my corgi and I’d love for part of my life to revolve around your pets as well!

“Katelynn was lovely and took great care of my three feline babies. She made sure that the girls were well fed and followed my instructions closely. Katelynn also sent pics during the stay so I knew that the babies were doing well. I will definitely be using her services in the near future.”

About: I’ve been around pets ever since I can remember and have always had at least 1 dog if not 2. I find genuine joy in spending time with animals and would love nothing more than to spoil your babies like my own! I work an on/off week so one week I only work Wednesday, Thursday - the next week I only have Wednesday, Thursday off. I try to update a month or two at a time but unless I have something special going on my my availability will follow that on/off schedule. I haven’t met a dog I don’t love. I will treat them as if they’re my own and make sure they get plenty of loves and mental stimulation!

“Alexandra was great! This was a bit of a last-minute booking, but she responded quickly and the visits were set up in no time. My cat's food, water, and litter box were all taken care of as I had requested. Most importantly, my kitty was relaxed and happy when I got home, because he had been properly cared for in my absence. Would absolutely book with Alexandra again.”

About: Animals of all sorts are drawn to me and I them! I grew up with the nickname Dr. Doolittle. I not only have experience caring for domestic pets but exotic pets too! I'll always treat your little buddy with warmth and love. I like to stay active and happy, and caring for your pet would do just the trick. I'd like to make money doing something that means a lot to me. I visit them, and give them a bit of attention and love before feeding them and/or crating them. I can give them enrichment and exercise.
