“Ashley was our first experience with a pet sitter and she was amazing! Our puppy had the best time during her visit. In addition to caring for him. Ashley prepared our puppy's food to accommodate his special dietary needs. Ashley arrived right on time, showed great care, and provided insightful photos of her visit with our puppy. Five stars!”

“Katie is dependable and a great communicator. She takes excellent care of my pets and I am a repeat customer of hers. I would highly recommend her if you want peace of mind while you're away from your pets.”

“Baylee was amazing! My dog has to warm up to people and he was loving her within minutes! I was very happy and relaxed to go on my trip knowing she was coming over for visits! Will definitely use Baylee again!”

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.

About: I have taken care of animals by volunteering at the Kansas City pet project as well as fostering animals. I love being around animals and making sure they are well taken care of. I am taking two summer classes, Tuesday and Thursdays 9:15 am- 11:15 am. Other than that, I am available all days other than the dates marked off on the calendar. I care for pets by making sure they are let out when they need to be, making sure they are fed, and by giving them plenty of love!

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!

“They were so wonderful and patient with my shy little kitty and kept me constantly updated with pictures. I couldn’t ask for a better sitter they even were attentive with my cats special needs which meant the world to me. I will happily use their services again. Thank you so much!”

About: I have been pet sitting since I was a teenager because I love it so much. I have also trained more dogs than I can count. I will keep your pups safe and make sure they feel well loved in your absence! We will make them part of our family! We have recently lost our dog and would be grateful for the opportunity to love on yours. Please message me if you have any questions and have a great day! My current schedule is very fluid so I have time to work around your dog schedule & any needs they may have. My whole family will be so happy to have your dog with us or just visit or take walks & play. Finding someone not just reliable but who I felt comfortable leaving my dogs with was a huge struggle for me and now I’m happy to be that person for other people!! I have been a dog person my whole life & they are such special members of our families. Thanks for checking out my profile & I hope to meet you soon! Being reliable is important -knowing your pets are not just safe but well loved while you travel brings another level of peace of mind. I found that very hard to find for ours so just know I will care for them like they’re my own! I’d love for them to come be part of our family during your travels or stop in & take care of them in their own environment if that is what’s best for them-I will treat your home with the utmost respect. I can also stop in to play & potty while you’re at work to make sure they’re taken care of. Thanks!

About: I have been working with animals since I was a child in 4H. I am good with animals of all kinds. I have worked in a variety of fields since I was a teen. I have been in a vets office, Shift lead of a boarding facility, Animal control, and I have trained dogs and service dogs for years. I care about the animal connection and making sure animals are well cared for. They I only work part time 3-5 hours 3 days a week. The rest of the time I am either training my dogs or spending time with my kids. I’m passionate about working with animals and my life primarily circles around my animals. I believe in making sure animals get the care they deserve and having fun enjoyable time. I want to see dogs light up when they see me. I love spending the evening relaxing lets the dogs play and reading a book or playing a video game. I enjoy hikes in our field and teaching swimming in our pool for dogs weather permitting. I believe in doing an intake of can on arrival and documentation on food and outtings so I can monitor what is happening with the dogs.

“Will definitely ask to schedule care with you again! Thank you for taking care of my babies for me!”

“Emma is fantastic! Highly recommend. We felt very comfortable with her in our home taking care of our senior dog for several days. Emma is very personable and professional, including excellent communication via text and pictures. She cares for pets as if they are her own, quickly adapting to the routines our pup has. Upon our return, we could tell we made the right choice. Will definitely use Emma in the future.”

Tamara C.

“Amazing!! I have nothing but amazing things to say about Jeannette! She was there when I expected her to be there. She took several pictures! She even stayed longer than I had said she needed to, to give my dogs some more time outside to run around! She played with them and gave them cuddles! She even cleaned up after our dog shredded his bed! She went WAY above and beyond! I’m so thankful for her and will DEFINITELY be using her again!”

Hannah L.

“Draven was fantastic with our Goldendoodle during her drop-in visits. Her communication was on point, and she even noticed that we had accidentally locked our cat in the bedroom. Thankfully, she let him out and made sure everything was okay. We’re so grateful for the care she gave our sweet boy. Highly recommend Draven to anyone needing drop-in care for their pets!”

“Kat did a great job with my dogs. I always knew when she was checking in and my dogs were well taken care of.”

About: I have had dogs all my life and always thought of them as family! I have worked with Great Danes, labs, pitbulls, dachshunds, and Yorkies. I currently have a 2 year old black bully mix named Patrick, he's my best friend and shotgun rider! I have trained him in: stay, leave it, here/come, spin, between (going between legs), leg weaving, giving kisses and of course high five! I am a professional weightlifter and don't mind handling big dogs. I am available after 3:00PM on Wednesdays and Thursdays and free anytime on weekends! I can cover most holidays too! I will always do my best to accommodate emergency situations as well. In my home, Patrick is part of the family and is treated as such. He gets spoiled with treats and love. Inform me of any food allergies or food preferences of your dog as I love to make lick bowls / lick mats! I also have experience with cats and would love to provide the same care and mental stimulation to them as well! I have also owned reptiles and learned how to build a relationship with them by respecting boundaries in learning their body language.
