Dog Sitting in Ash Grove

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats since I was a child. They are not like family, they are family. Many friends and relatives have entrusted me to care for their pets for short and long stays at my home where they receive love, attention, play, and care. When caring for your pets, they will not be alone for more than 4 hours at a time during the weekday. Evenings and weeknights they will not be alone for more than an hour at a time. I have a large fenced yard and close access to a public park for walks. I enjoy playing with animals and giving them attention and care.

About: I’ve taken care of pets on military bases for about 4-6 years watching animals and taking them out while people are on vacation or have been sent out of state somewhere. I’m fairly flexible. I work in the morning from 7am- 330pm So I’m good at spending time with them during my breaks and after work. I only work a few days a week so I am also good for night schedules. I try to keep my focus to the animal itself only touching things that relate to the pet and their environment. I am very respectful in a clients home, I’m good at cleaning up any messes quick and efficiently and don’t really get grossed out easily. I am good at following directions and keeping boundaries.

About: I have grown up around all types of pets ranging from farm animals to exotic ones! All through my life I have cared for one animal or another. With that being said, I understand the importance of routines when it comes to caring for pets as well as communication. I currently have two pups of my own that have both received training so if you also need some training reinforcement or training help I am your person! I do currently work a full time job, but I am available in the mornings before 6:30 AM and after 3:30 PM in the afternoons throughout the week days. On the weekends I do have *mostly* open availability. My goal is to completely customize you and your pets needs. Every family has their own routines and schedules to follow and every pet has their own personality and needs. If your pet needs medication, an extra long walk/play time, some extra loves, or any sort of specific needs I am more than happy to help out!

About: I have cared for the well-being of my own and others pets since I was 7. Anywhere from family, friends or friends of loved ones. I care for pets outside my own part-time. I am a traveling entrepreneur, artist, healer and teacher. Tending to the garden of animals and other humans helps me to remember to care for my own ecosystem. I have two indoor-only cats. My practice with caring for client's pets has ranged from indoor and or outdoor cats, kenneling and walking dogs daily. I am hyper aware of toxic plants and or allergies when it comes to animals. I adapt my plans of action given the data the animals I am caring for gives me. I am well versed with anxious cats and dogs.

About: I have been a dog mom since 2010. I treat my dogs as if they were children. We go on daily walks, play inside and my pups always look forward to playing at the apartment dog park every night! I currently work in dental office which allows me to work half days on Thursday and Friday with every Saturday and Sunday off to dedicate to my pups! I live in an apartment building which has a fenced in dog park nearby. My two dogs are friendly and loving and are looking for attention from anyone who passes us. I am unable to stay overnights due to having dogs of my own! We are more than welcome to have your pet stay with us!

About: I volunteered at CARE which is a no kill pet shelter for cats and dogs in 2014 and recently started volunteering at this place again, February 2018. My duties included feeding and making sure the animals had enough water. Cleaned out kennels and cages and would take the dogs outside and walk them. I have had dogs and cats since I was born and currently had a dog who loved being around other cats and dogs. She loved to play with animals as well and loved children. Her name was Daisy she is in my profile pic with me. Daisy was euthanized on September 1st, 2023. I now have another dog whose name is Emma. She’s a year old and as long as it’s ok with a client I bring her to pet sitting jobs. She loves other animals including cats and loves to play. She’s lovable and affectionate and loves attention. I also have a cat and her name is Maizy. She is four years old and I got her when she was almost 4 weeks old. I would take Daisy for walks and if I could take her with me to other places I did. One of the places I took her was to the pet store. I no longer wear a mask unless I have to. If you prefer for me to wear one please let me know and I will wear one. I use to work at a job which required me to work a 10 hour shift. I am now working at a full time job which has 8 hour shifts. I can work around my schedule if needed. My supervisor does work with me on switching my days around if needed. I can’t keep your pet in my apartment due to rules and restrictions but I can come to your home. I will provide my own food and necessities.

“Dixie took great care of my fur babies and went above and beyond with updating me and sending pictures so I didn’t have to check in and ask myself. We booked her last minute and she was very helpful and reliable. :)”

“Micheal & Jackie went out of their way to follow my very detailed 1 page instructions for our 2 dogs, cat, chickens and goose. I could tell they cared about my animals. They also did great with our large, sometimes scary and protective, dog. We will definitely use them again and recommend them to others.”

“Morgan’s an incredible petsitter! She checked in on my cats at the agreed to time every morning and sent along much-appreciated updates while I was out of town. Her photos were incredible! I know they were in great hands and I’ll definitely check with Morgan first the next time I need a sitter, and you should too.”

About: We've loved on our own dogs through our 25 years of marriage and raising four kids. Now that the kids are headed out we've got space to love on your dogs when you need us! We also only watch one family's pet/s at a time so we can focus on giving your dog/s the attention they deserve. I work from home, so I'm available 24/7 most weeks and I love letting pups into the office with me, or cuddling on the couch while watching a movie. We have a completely fenced in back yard, and an environment that is professionally cleaned twice a month. We have security cameras in all main areas and covering all doors. It's a safe, loving environment!

“Austin did a perfect job. He left me thorough notes and pictures daily. It really put my mind at ease while away. I've never used someone through Rover or any other company while away but I will definitely ask Austin to do it again next time!”

“Tori was excellent!!!, this was my second time using her for my cat. She was friendly, patient and attentive to my not so friendly cat. She kept me updated daily and made me aware of any arrival delays. She followed all my instructions to the letter. I felt 100% comfortable with the care my cat received and I know I will be rebooking again soon! Don’t hesitate to book Tori!!!”
