About: Hi! My (preferred) name is Daisy & I've been taking care of dogs ever since we adopted my very first canine best friend in 2011! Friends and family have trusted me to take care of their fur babies and I've been handling & working with dogs almost every day for almost two years as a doggy daycare attendant, kennel staff, special pup advisor, and group coordinator. I love taking them on walks and practicing sits, stays, downs, give paws, etc... I absolutely love all animals and promise to take care of your babies as if they were my own! I currently work part-time so I'll have plenty of time to check in on & spend with your pets! I'm available Saturdays before 12pm, Sundays all day, & most holidays before 3pm. Weekday hours vary and I will always be super transparent about my availability! Your pets' safety is important to me so please feel free to leave detailed instructions and I will follow them to a T. I will also keep consistent contact with you, providing (p)updates with photos! I can crate your dog(s) if needed as well. I'm also Red Cross animal first aid certified. I've handled several scuffles and am able to remain calm in any situation that may arise. Your pet will always be safe with me!

“Nora seemed very well taken care of and Logan accommodated my last minute booking so well! Will definitely be booking again if I have the need to!”

“Mickey was great with Kit. Got him out playing, eating well, he even got up on her lap for petting. Mickey is amazing. I completely trusted her to take care of my boy and she did a wonderful job. I'm so glad Kit responded so well to her.”

“Lydia was great with my 2 cats. She kept in constant communication with me and made sure I was always in the loop if she had to come a little later than expected. I was nervous leaving my cats with someone else, but they really seemed to like her! Highly recommend- she really does an amazing job.”

About: I have loved animals all my life. I think they really are a part of a family, and they deserve to be absolutely spoiled and shown all the love they can take I am self-employed so I have a very flexible schedule. I don’t work a regular 9 to 5 so I am home longer than the average person I make sure to take care of all of their needs. Make sure they are fed, always have water, entertained, played with, loved on and completely taken care of

“Ayah did a great job with the cats. She was very communicative and responsive and gave thorough updates on the cats each visit. Will definitely use her again in the future”

About: I absolutely adore animals but especially dogs, I worked at a dog kennel for a year, which has helped me to gain experience around dogs of any and all different sizes, breeds, ages, and temperaments/requirements. I have been dog sitting/walking and doing overnight stays for 3 years and take great pride in taking care of your pet as if they’re my own! I am working part time at a kennel right now, however my shifts are very short (5 hours max but typically 2.5-3 hours). I get my schedule on a week to week basis, so if you want to guarantee that I have the availability to watch your pup, let me know at least 2 weeks in advance and I will happily request off from work to help you out (please still feel free to reach out even if its less than 2 weeks in advance, I likely will still be able to help you out). Having such short shifts, im available for pop-ins and walks the majority of the day, however there should be no problem with staying overnight as my latest shift is from 8:15-9:15pm at the kennel for let out. I will care for your pet as if it’s my own to ensure their safety and enjoyment for the time I am with them, as well as making sure your home is safe while you are away. I will follow any and all instructions that are given to me to guarantee everything runs smoothly and that your pup has a great and safe time!

“Our cat loved Victoria. I was so happy with the photos and care. She was great!”

“Miss Nina did a fantastic job looking after our pup, especially with this being a last minute request. Plans arose to head to Niagra Falls and as such we could not bring our pup. Nina stopped in and checked on our pooch multiple times and the happy& smiling photos of our pup shows they got along just fine. 10 out of 10 would recommend.”

About: I am extremely detail-oriented, I love animals, and I’ve cared for a wide variety of pets my entire life, from cats and dogs to reptiles, birds, fish, and small mammals. Currently, I share my home with 3 cats, a dog, a bunny, fish, and 4 chickens, so I’m experienced and comfortable with all kinds of animals! All of my pets are good with each other, kids, and other animals. My wife Emily will also be assisting me in caring for your pet. I work as a Registered Nurse at a pediatrician office, so I am available after 4 pm everyday and on weekends no matter the time. My wife works ten minutes away from our home and comes home on lunch to give a potty break. I understand how important your pets are to you, and I’ll treat them with the same love and care as I do my own (and trust me, they are SPOILED). In your home, I’ll ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and well-cared for. I will also follow your instructions closely to maintain your babies’ routines. Respecting your space and your pet’s needs is my top priority.

“Mackenzie was wonderful with our four dogs. She sent pictures at both drop ins every day for the entire week we were gone. We will definitely use her again.”

About: I've always had a passion for animals since I was very little. I was never able to have them of my own growing up because my dad was highly allergic. Once I graduated high school I moved out and rescued my first dog from a backyard breeder. He is a Pitbull mix. 4 months later I rescued my golden saint from a hording situation which ended up in all of her animals getting taken away. I realized I wanted to help save more animals so I ended up becoming a foster mom. My first foster was a 7 year old Rottweiler named Sabrina. I only had her a short 3 months before I was told she had a stomach tumor that was not curable. I unfortunately made the decision to get her cremated and the last words I said to her was " I promise I will save as many animals like you as I possibly can." I kept that promise to her after 8 years already and plan to for many many more! Fast forward to today, I have the same 2 dogs and added one more to my little family. He is a Catahoula Leopard dog and was my first foster fail. I wanted to extend my experience even more so now I pet sit/dog walk as well! I am experienced with senior dogs, puppies, aggressive dogs as well as dogs with high anxiety I have taken care of all sorts of animals such as hamsters, Guinea pigs, birds, snakes, miniature pigs, and of course cats and dogs! I treat every animal like my own and I guarantee I will become their best friend! My goal is to eventually own a building and name it in Sabrina's memory:) I am currently working part time at UPS from 4am-8am (for the health benefits) so I will have plenty of time during the day and night to play with your fur baby! I am available for in home stays in your own home, overnights, drop ins, and dog walks on week days and weekends. If you see a date that is marked unavailable please still reach out to me as I might have some spots open or a last minute cancellation for those days. It is first come first serve so book while the dates are still available! In home/overnights- This includes play time, bathroom breaks, food and water replenishment, medication administration, baths if needed, multiple walks, picture/video updates, and lots of snuggles! Drop ins- This includes food and water replenishment, bathroom breaks and a little bit of play time! Dog walking- I offer 1/2 hour walks and 1 hour walks

About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals ever since I was young. I’ve had dogs, cats, and fish of my own and watched tons of other kinds for friends and family.

“Delen was attentive and affectionate with our sweet kitty. She engaged our Cali in play time and snuggles. Delen also communicated well with us. We recommend her services for your pet too!”

“Laura is great with Brody, and he is happy in all of the pictures that she sends me. Glad I found her, and would recommend her if you're looking for someone to visit your pup during the day.”

About: From the first moments I could remember, I have always been around and caring for dogs and cats. I'm also a professional equine bodyworker, with medical experience that is easily translated over to our smaller, 4-legged friends. I take a gentle and intuitive approach with animals, focusing on positive reinforcement. I will care for your pets as if they were my own. I have plenty of flexibility in my schedule. If staying at your home, I will never be gone for more than 8 hrs at a time. Weekends are usually no issue to schedule around either While staying at your home, I stick to the routine you have developed with your pets to make it as stress-free as possible. I recognize the importance of structure with dogs and cats, and losing that while their humans are away can be a big stressor. I will do my best to act as an extension of you while you are away to ensure the most personalized care.

About: **About me** Hello! My name is Mariah, I am a sophomore in college pursing a Veterinary degree! I have always loved working with animals and have grown up around them all my life. I have such a strong passion for animals of any kind which is why I am pursing a career in it! All throughout my life I have watched family and friends animals and my love for working with animals have grown every day. Growing up with dogs, cats, and other pets it has given me a great amount of knowledge about them and how to take care of them. I feel that each animal has it's own unique personality which makes them even more special. I am good at taking care of animals with medical conditions or post surgical. I gave medications to many dogs before and have taken care of post surgical. I took care of pets with bandages that needed cleaning and broken bones. **About my home** When you are away or have a trip and need someone to take care of such as walk, feed, love, or bathe your animal I will be there! If you are at work or have an event that prevents you from being there to take care of your pet, I am able to come and help you out! **About my neighborhood** I live in Jefferson City. There are some nice trails by me and the Cherokee Dam! There is also Panther Creek State Park that has beautiful trails for walking and getting energy out! There is plenty of open land around that pets will love! **What to expect** I love playing with and showing animals how special they are which I am confident they will enjoy as well! I enjoy going for runs and long walks which they will too! The lake near me is one of the best spots to play and walk. **Special rules or requests** I am open to any size, and breed of dog, cat, etc. I do not have a preference on sizes of dogs. I also am not bothered by breeds of dogs, I truly believe that every dog is just as good as the next and the most misunderstood breeds of dogs are the most loving.
