About: Hi there! I’m Citara – a single mom with a big heart for animals! I know how important it is to have someone you trust with your furry family members. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or cozy visits with your cat, I treat every pet like my own. Reliable, caring, and flexible – I’m here when you need me. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I have flexible availability, especially during evenings and weekends. I currently work during the day part of the week, but I’m available most afternoons, evenings, and weekends for pet sitting or walking. I love being around animals, so spending time caring for pets is something I truly enjoy and make time for. It’s not just a side job—it’s something that brings me peace and purpose. I provide pet care in the comfort of the client’s home because I believe pets feel most safe and relaxed in their own environment. I follow all routines and instructions carefully—from feeding and walks to playtime and medications—so your pet’s day stays as normal as possible. I treat every home with respect and every pet with patience, love, and attention. Safety and trust are my top priorities, and I always make sure your pet is secure, happy, and well cared for while you're away.
“Kelly was fantastic! She stayed with our dog at our house for three nights. Our dog was so well taken care of, happy, and enjoyed his time with her. She kept us updated each day with messages and photos. We will use her again when we need someone. Thank you!!”
“Torie took great care of my doggies and my home! She is always so sweet and attentive with my pups, and she did a great job of checking in and giving me updates while I was out of town.”
“I needed to find a pet sitter quickly, and she willingly agreed. She took amazing care of my dogs. She sent updates and asked concerning questions that showed me she was not only watching them but really caring for them. So happy to have her watch my dogs.”
“This is the second time we've used Jodi. She is wonderful with animals. We are comfortable leaving her in the care of our home and our dogs. You will not be disappointed. She will send you daily pictures and updates.”
“Emma was amazing. She came over several times to build a relationship with one of my dogs that required extra attention. I am extremely happy with all of the effort that she put in to making my dogs feel comfortable and safe while I was out of town”
About: Residing on a farm with open running space or enclosed electrical fencing for outside time, animals are sure to love their farm life experience. My husband and I have trained our own dogs to respond to basic commands: sit, shake, stay, come, and no. We have around 600 birds (chickens, guineas, ducks), 10 goats, and 2 Great Pyrenees girls (unaltered) that predominately reside outside. We also have 5 cats that are indoor outdoor and every other week our 16 and 10 y.o. boys are here to provide extra attention to animals visiting. We have also cared for animals at the end of life phase, moving at a slower pace and needing that extra assistance to get around. I currently work an 8 hour shift commuting to STL Monday-Friday. I work for the MO Army National Guard full-time, to include one weekend a month. My Husband’s full time job is taking care of the farm. He is predominately on farm, or not too far out if he is away. Caring for additional animals will fit like a glove into the animal schedule we currently operate on any given day. Caring for our own pets consist of daily feedings. There is always dry food out for all animals. The dogs and cats get wet food once a day, typically in the evening. The cats get attention when they want it. The dogs get released out of the fence a couple times a week to run the land under human supervision. They will also be let inside for short periods of time as we work on training them with inside manners, not to mention, one of the girls is terrified of thunder storms. Our animals are pampered with treats, attention, and full on conversations. They are more than animals around here, they’re family!
About: I currently work at a boarding facility and get to work with dogs of all sizes and temperaments! I especially do well with the pups that are a little more nervous or fearful as I’ve been working with dogs and have learned how to read them well! I love to see nervous pups flourish into who they truly are once they get warmed up! I am a lead at PetSuites so I do administer medication daily to pups aswell so don’t be shy about boarding your dog who needs medication! I currently work full time at PetSuites and depending on how close the dogs are to my work could swing by before and after work as well as on my break for potties and meals! On my days off I can spend much more time if not the whole day those days! My dogs at home are friendly but one is getting old and a little cranky so in home boarding/visits wouldn’t work best for me as it would likely make your dog more comfortable to be at their own home!
“Greta was so well taken care of with Kamen! A great walker and even better sitter. She was so happy when we got home and can tell she was loved and cared for! Will absolutely book Kamen again for walks and out of town trips!”
About: Hello! My name is Ashley, I am a "retired" Veterinary Technician of 12+ years, 3 of which I was managing the practice. I have three kiddos, ages 9, 10 and 13. I am qualified, and have fantastic references. I live in Oak Grove, but can travel within a 20 mile radius or so. I am currently unavailable Monday-Wednesday. If you are needing pet care Thursday-Sunday, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me! My schedule is pretty flexible. I do not have a fenced yard, however, we are a very active family, so if your pets enjoy walks, we have a walking trail at our apartments!

Citara J.
“I've known Citara for several years and i can confidently say she’s one of the most dependable and caring people I know. She’s helped care for my pets on multiple occasions, and I always feel completely at ease knowing they’re in her hands. Citara has a calm and loving energy that animals respond to right away. She’s attentive, follows instructions carefully, and treats every pet like they’re her own. Beyond that, she’s incredibly respectful, trustworthy, and communicates well—qualities that are just as important when someone is coming into your home to care for your pets. If you’re looking for someone responsible, kind, and great with animals, Citara is an excellent choice.”
