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 had pets my whole life up! I'm a full time stay at home mom with 3 kiddos (2 in school and 1 not in school cause shes a baby!) I am looking to earn a little pocket change while hopefully helping someone out with their fur babies. Most times I will have to come with my baby in her carrier for now, but certain times I may be able to work around that, so please dont hesitate to ask! I am willing to travel as far as Kansas City/Overland Park, Pittsburg, and Joplin/Springfield, or basically within an hour and half for house sitting. As a mom I am not able to stay in your home for house sitting, I could consider pet care inside my home on a case-by-case basis. For daily walks, we will have to agree on a price if its farther than Nevada, El Dorado Springs. I live on a few acres with cats, a dog, chickens, and ducks. I have experience with a lot of different types of animals as well including fish and smaller caged critters. I have experience working with service dogs as well. If you have any questions, please reach out! Im super flexible and would love to be able to help you any way that I can. I am a stay at home mom with 2 of 3 kiddos in school. My schedule is very open. Whatever work you're needing with your animals, please reach out. Animal care in my home will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Animal care in your home will be as requested by you. I typically could not do overnight care as I've got kiddos in school and will most likely have to travel a bit to help you with your animals, but on weekends or breaks I can consider it.

Kaylee was great!! She took amazing care of my 2 cats while I was away for 2 weeks, getting them plenty of play time and sending pictures of them every morning with little write ups of their moods and activities. She also went above and beyond when obstacles arose with their food supply and my changed schedule. It was a huge relief knowing my cats were being well cared for by someone that clearly loves animals. She’ll be their go-to sitter from now on

About: I recently retired from being a Kennel Manager at a rescue for 4 years. I loved it so much! However it was my time to go. In the last four years I’ve handled puppies to seniors. All disabilities and assortments of care. I know how to handle and approach every type of dog and cat. I have only been bitten one time in 4 years and it was my fault. I’ve taken Obedience classes and even have minor grooming skills. I have had several liters of puppies in my time all very successful unless due to illness. I’m currently working part time and have lots of time to play with your fur babes! I’m a very active person and try to stay that way. Being able to walk your pet while I get my cardio on is a win win! I’m a huge animal lover with time to love on your fur babe. We use basic training with our pets and the word “No”. We believe in positive reinforcement and kennel training. Lots of training treats! Our dogs get to run the house freely they are all trained and my partner works from home. I would use whatever technique the owners use to stay consistent. I would never harm a dog in any manner.
