House Sitting in Ashland

“Anthony was outstanding and we will certainly have him back! He provided timely responses, gave regular updates, and shared pictures/videos of our girl while we traveled. 100% peace of mind! Our dog typically hides under the bed when we are gone or have a sitter stay with her, but Anthony had the magic touch (and salami) and she was quite content with him here.”

“Alivia took good care of our pets while we were gone overnight. Three pups and two cats can be a lot to manage when they all have their quirks and issues. She was communicative and sent us pictures. Would recommend and we’d book her again if needed!”

“This was our first time using River to house sit and take care of our dog, Zoe. We were very pleased!! He spent quite a bit of time with Zoe, was very attentive to her, and sent us lots of photos while we were gone. As other pet owners know, having someone you trust to stay with your beloved baby is a necessity for worry-free traveling!!!”

About: I have always had at least one furry friend at home to love on and meeting new pets is what I enjoy the most! As a college student, I provide a youthful and fun yet experienced service for cats and dogs. I'm currently a student at MU with a flexible weekday schedule and free weekends. I am available during evenings and drop-ins on weekdays and full days on Saturday and Sunday. I provide in-client-home care for any aged animal within my locations range. I'm a trusted and friendly bestie for cats and dogs.

“Ava loved her time with Samuel! Especially the walks, belly rubs, & ball throwing. Thanks for making our trip stress free knowing Ava was in good hands!”

About: I've been caring for dogs for as long as I can remember, with over 3 years of professional dog sitting experience and a lifetime of love for animals. I've raised and trained three of my own dogs from puppyhood and shared my life with four wonderful pups in total. Even during my toughest times battling cancer caring for my dogs brought me strength and joy. I treat every dog I care for like family, with patience, compassion, and plenty of tail wags. As an off-campus student at Mizzou, my class schedule may vary slightly each semester, but am generally available most days throughout the week. I'm flexible and happy to work with you to find the best times for your pet's care needs. Currently, I do not offer in-home boarding for new clients due to my two dogs at home, b continue to provide this service for existing clients. For those pets, I have a secure, fenced-in backyard where they can safely play and exercise, and I keep extra crates on hand if needed for rest or comfort. For dog walking services, I always bring a portable water bowl to keep pups hydrated- especially during warmer days-and use an adjustable harness for dogs that tend to pull more. also rotate between several sturdy, high-quality leashes to ensure walks are both safe and comfortable for every dog. Whether I'm walking your pet or visiting them in your home, their safety, happiness, and well-being are always my top priority.

“Tozzie was great :) my babies were cared for, loved, and happy! he was great at paying attention to them individually and communicating with me while i was gone :)”

“Ehlana went above and beyond for our cats. First time here for Ehlana, tornado sirens went off, she got herself, cats, food, water, and bedding to the basement and back when safe. Her care for our cats was exemplary for the rest of her stay. Very responsible and dependable sitter . Highly recommend!”

“Lucas took great care of our dogs while we were away. Easy to communicate with, sent lots of pics and updates, and kept our house orderly. Would highly recommend Lucas!”

About: I have worked in professional pet care for 4 years and have been watching neighbors dogs for the past 2 years. At doggy daycare I have worked with all sizes and ages of dogs and am comfortable with all of them. I am currently and student at The University of Missouri but am still able to come to your house to watch your pet. I can stay at your house during the week or weekend, my classes are during the middle of the day so they can go out plenty of times in the morning and night. I have three dogs at home that I am very used to taking care of as well as my cat. I can follow your pets schedule so there is no difference in your care and mine.

About: • 3 years as veterinary assistant • 1.5 years as a kennel tech for boarding • 3 years as an equine handler for youth pony rides • 6 months shadowing professional dog trainers • Enrolled in Animal Sciences at MU with pre-admission to MU College of Veterinary Medicine Despite the many years I have dedicated to animal care, my passion only grows. My experience in veterinary medicine has provided me the knowledge and confidence to recognize and handle emergencies effectively. Through the years I have collected helpful advice on pet behavior, pet health, and handling that I am always happy to share. I am comfortable handling and providing care to dogs, cats, rabbits, rodents, and some exotics. I have always been recognized for my strong work ethic, and consider your pet’s health a top priority! I am currently working part-time in addition to being a full-time student. Weekends are perfect for me to care for your pet, however I can make some weekdays work as needed. In my client’s homes I am comfortable conducting any routine no matter how specific as I understand the complex needs of every pet. I am very thorough with directions, and have extensive experience medicating animals and handling emergencies.

About: I am very dependable and have lots of experience pet sitting. I have watched dogs with disabilities and health issues. I am trust worthy and love animals. I graduated William Woods University with an equestrian Science degree and have experience with all types of animals. I have my own transportation and am willing to stay over night. I am willing to do anything for your pet such as walking bathing and other things. I love to stay organized and keep things clean. You will never have to worry about your pets with me as I will spend a lot of time with them and make sure you feel comfortable with me taking care of them. Please consider me as your next pet sitter I promise to take the best care of your animals.

About: What sets me apart is my hands-on experience and genuine love for animals. I’ve had my rescue dog, Bear, for 8 years, so I understand the patience and consistency pets need to feel safe and loved. Whether it’s sticking to a special routine, giving meds, or just being a calm, comforting presence, I treat every animal like family. As a full-time student and part-time daycare worker, I have a structured but flexible schedule. I work three weekdays and have weekends free, which gives me time to focus on pet care, especially for weekend stays, walks, or check-ins. I’m used to managing routines (thanks to my daughter and my job!), so fitting in pet care is something I can do consistently and reliably. Whether in my home or yours, I make sure pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I follow their usual routines—meals, walks, playtime, and any special instructions—so they feel right at home. I give lots of affection, keep their space clean, and always prioritize their well-being. If I’m in your home, I treat it with respect and care, just like I do with your pet!

“Erin is the best! I have two small pups and they loved her which is amazing because one of my boys is a rescue and is very scared of people but he laid on the couch next to her and was not scared. She took excellent care of my dogs and I will book with her again.”

About: Hi! I’m Josselyn, a pre-veterinary student at the University of Missouri (Mizzou) with a strong passion for animal care and behavior. In high school, I completed a veterinary technician program and successfully passed the certification exam, giving me hands on experience in animal health and clinical care. I also completed an internship at a veterinary hospital, where I assisted with patient exams, treatments, and daily operations. Most recently, I worked at a doggy daycare, where I gained valuable experience in managing group play, understanding canine behavior, and ensuring each dog’s safety and happiness. My background has given me a well-rounded understanding of animal needs from medical care to playtime and I’m dedicated to providing compassionate, reliable care for every pet I meet. I’m currently working part time and I’m also a full time student. I am mostly available nights or late afternoon. I am also pretty much always available over the weekend. I don’t currently have a dog but my roommate has a very playful pup. He’s a very good listener and extremely calm for a puppy.

“Such a great experience- Allison was wonderful to work with and took such good care of Bailey and my home. I will definitely use Allison again for all future travel.”

“Michelle was wonderful. She took wonderful care of our two cats. She sent pictures and updates. I feel confident that when we go on future trips for longer periods of time that Michelle will always be our first choice!”

“Taylor survived another house sitting appointment with our drool monster. Took great care of the boys and can't even tell she was in the house for a few days. Highly recommend her, we'll be booking again soon.”

Russell B.

“I can’t recommend Kiley enough. Managing three dogs is no small task, but she kept them happy, exercised, and on their routine perfectly. She sent great photo updates that really put my mind at ease. Beyond the excellent pet care, she went above and beyond by straightening up/cleaning the house, which was in pristine condition when I returned (the absolute best feeling after being away from home). She is professional, trustworthy, and clearly loves what she does. 10/5 stars!”

“Janae saved us by last minute being available for a long trip when our original plans cancelled on us. She house sat and watched our dog and two cats while also helping out with trash and mail. Janae helped us have peace of mind while we were abroad and we felt comfortable knowing she was at home watching our fur babies. Would definitely book Janae again in the future!”
