About: Greetings!!! my name is Tom and I love animals. With me, you will be in peace knowing that your best friend is in good hands. With many years of experience taking care of doggies and kitties, I grew up surrounded by animals and giving them unconditional love. I understand that leaving your baby is a hard decision and I want you to know that we (my family and I ) will make this transition as easy as possible. Here they will be fed, walked, bathed (upon request) and they will have a chance to socialize with other pets. Vaccination records are required as we want everyone to have a safe and happy experience in our place. In addition to my devotion to pet care, my wife and my kids work opposite shifts to ensure there is always someone at home and our furry friends are well taken care for. I have a fenced space at home as well as a large yard, and if needed and/or requested, I can crate your furry friend to ensure everyone’s safety and well being

I have fostered and cared for dogs of multiple sizes, breeds, and temperaments with a range of medical issues.

I currently have a 6 year old Italian Greyhound who is full of energy and would absolutely love to play with your pup if they’re up for it!

About: I have always had dogs growing up. I have done fostering and cared for many pets with sitting. I am home to be able to care for your fur baby and let out for frequent potty breaks, playtime, hugs and walks. I am reliable to be here for your pet needs while you are away. Again when I have them, they get my 100% attention. I can be around to take care of all their needs. My home has availability to have more than 1 dog if they are relaxed dog friendly or I mostly do 1 dog at time. Everything is discussed upfront and happy to have any meet and greet. I will go by rules you have at home to ensure it will be same here. IE. Crate, on furniture or no furniture. What foods needs and be sure to follow that all.
About: Empathetic and caring towards pets. My first pet was a fish, named Cogi. Since then I've had a gerbil, dog (bichon frise) named Casso, and now have two cats (littermates - part maine coon - Sage & Chowder). I have enjoyed times when I volunteered with child care and senior care facilities in the past as well. Always enjoy spending time with and connecting with pets. Rarely if ever meet any pet I have difficulty connecting with. I'm currently self employed, studying for MO real estate exam & license, and often engaged in other opportunities on the side as well. However, despite my busy schedule at times, I am quite proficient at juggling tasks, maintaining physical & mental health, eating healthy, exercising when possible, and still prioritizing pet care in the midst of it all! I can bring toys, treats, food, litter or anything needed, but am not currently boarding pets at my residence. I will do everything I can to make your pet(s) feel comfortable, clean up after myself and any pet(s), and keep you informed of anything out of the normal.
About: I grew up with three big dogs and loved every second of it! I am a middle school teacher looking to watch after your pets until I can afford my own!

I have countless years of experience in childcare and babysitting (which is helpful with pets as well). My apartment center has a wonderful dog park and I love to go on walks as well!
“Kayla was wonderful and took great care of our two girls. We were pretty apprehensive about leaving them since one was a 5-month old puppy with an overabundance of energy. Kayla showed them lots of TLC and kept them happy. Even now that we are home, they keep looking at the front door like they are waiting for her to come over and play. She reported on them to us regularly which greatly reduced OUR stress and anxiety.”
About: I've administered diabetic medication and pills for years and am very comfortable doing so. I work well with high needs pets, especially those older in age and disabled. I can walk both cats and dogs at their pace and am committed to their cognitive enrichment with toys and games and also to their comfort with gentle words and cuddles. I work part time: Monday-Thursday evenings and Saturday morning-afternoon. My pet care schedule is super open as I am a very laid back person who usually prefers to stay in. Mon-Thur I can be around from early morning until 3, on Saturday I'm available by 4, and I am totally free for the day and night on Friday and Sunday. I always safety check harness and leash before opening the door and I'm extremely careful to keep all exits secured. As someone with a sneaky cat, I know how it is. I'm aware of harmful human foods and products and always keep my things stored away safely.
About: Caring for animals has been a lifelong passion of mine. Over the years, I’ve raised and loved many pets of my own, and currently walk my dogs 2–3 times a day—rain or shine. Our daily routines include neighborhood strolls, adventurous hikes, and long weekends exploring the outdoors. I’ve traveled with my pups across Texas, Tennessee, and Missouri, and regularly vacation with my grandpuppies in the mountains of Colorado, Montana, Minnesota, and Wisconsin. I’ve also had the privilege of hiking and vacationing with my blind friend and her two incredible service dogs, gaining firsthand experience supporting animals with specialized needs. I cared for my own dog through two ACL surgeries and followed strict recovery plans, and I’ve successfully trained a high-energy German Shepherd mix using positive reinforcement methods. Whether it's providing companionship for a friend’s pet during long work shifts or pet sitting for neighbors on vacation, I treat every animal with the same love, care, and attention I give my own. Your pets will be safe, happy, and well cared for in my hands! As a recent retiree, I have the time, flexibility, and energy to fully dedicate myself to pet care. Daily walks and outdoor adventures are already a natural part of my routine, and I genuinely enjoy spending that time with a furry companion by my side. I love walking, hiking, and exploring local trails, parks, and neighborhoods, and dogs make those experiences even more joyful. Their energy, affection, and playful spirit bring me so much happiness, and it’s a true pleasure to provide them with the exercise, enrichment, and companionship they need throughout the day. I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, loved, and respected—whether in my care at home or in a client’s home. I use positive reinforcement to build trust and ensure pets feel comfortable and secure. I treat all animals as members of the family, providing them with the same level of attention and care I give my own. When walking or visiting parks, I always keep pets on a leash and remain attentive to their surroundings, making safety my top priority. I follow any specific instructions you provide and take great care to maintain routines, comfort, and consistency—because your pet’s well-being is my responsibility, and I take that to heart.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 12 years old. I have watched dogs of all ages and personalities and even some cats or hamsters! I love all animals! I am a very active person, so I love walking and playing with dogs as well. I am a teacher, so I have a lot of availability during the week and the weekend during the summer break.

“Latasha looked after our kitty (Lazare) and house for a week in July. She was very professional and courteous. She took the time to write down instructions on our meet and greet. Lazare loved her! I appreciated her communication and photos and she also took good care of the house and plants. I wholeheartedly recommend Latasha.”
“Coleman has been doing a great job checking on my father’s cat. My father is elderly and can’t bend down to fill the bowls or change the litter. Coleman has been consistent with the check ins and keeps me updated on how things are going. Thank you so much!”

Cindy is absolutely wonderful with our pups. We have two elderly girls who require a bit extra, including diapers and limited mobility, and Cindy has no problem with these added complexities. She is a great communicator too! It makes us so much more comfortable knowing our dogs are well taken care of when we are out of town. I highly recommend Cindy!
Cleo was fantastic with Lumi! She was reliable, communicative and sent us great updates and plenty of photos after every visit. She made sure Lumi got her walks and potty breaks, had fresh water and food, and spent extra time playing with her and giving her some attention and cuddles. It gave us a lot of peace of mind being away knowing Lumi was comfortable and well cared for. Cleo clearly took the time to actually engage with her rather than just stopping by to check the boxes. We would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!
It is so so clear that Beth loves our fuzzy babies—and they love her right back!!! She is a wonderful communicator and gentle as can be, playing with our two VERY high-energy spaniels. When we come home after they’ve been with her, they’re relaxed and totally unstressed. Thank you!!!
Lori was amazing! We are visiting from Indiana for a month and we needed a sitter for our blind dog. Lori came to meet us and was so sweet. If our dog could talk, I’m sure he would say how much he enjoyed Lori sitting with him. Thank you, Lori! You are the sweetest!
Brooklyn was great coming to check on my pups! She’s helped me with a nail trim for my crazy puppy before and she was so gentle and sweet (even when my puppy was being a little pterodactyl🤣). You can tell she’s great with animals! She sent tons of pictures and a thorough update about her check in. I would reach out to her again in a heartbeat!
