“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 did a great job with her drop-ins with my cats! It’s was so great seeing pictures while I was away! And both of them were much happier than when I’ve just had a friend drop by once during vacation. I think her presence and interaction made them feel like I didn’t abandon them! Thank you so much!!!!!”


“This was my first time using Rover and Mya made the experience amazing! I will definitely be using her again. My dog is very shy and not good with strangers but Mya took her time to be patient and calming. My dog started warming up to her very fast and I belive dogs have a good judge of character ;)”


“Baylee did a wonderful job checking in on our new puppy! She’s very personable and even offered to come over the day before for a meet-and-greet, where she was extremely interactive and attentive with the puppy. It’s clear that she is genuinely invested in her work and takes great pride in what she does. I would highly recommend her — 10/10!”


“Kat.. was excellent with my 2girls. Helped out extra and took extra attention to a frightened little girl and turned on the TV to help block out the fireworks. I would have Kat take care of my girls again and again. I recommend her highly!! Thank you 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!

About: We’re a pet-loving home with 3 cats and 2 sweet senior dogs—all friendly, spayed/neutered, and great with guests! Your pet will feel right at home with plenty of love, snuggles, and playtime. I am available everyday, if I am boarding in my home I am available to come and go a lot. If boarding in your home I am available to stop by multiple times during the day/night. I have a fenced yard & two senior dogs who enjoy company. They’re still young at heart! 3 cats who are very social and enjoy new faces.

“Emma was amazing! She checked in our sweet kitties consistently everyday at the same time, brought our Amazon box in and even watered our flowers on the porch! It was so nice to know our girls were well taken care of while we were away!”


About: Hi! I’m Ashley, I'm a lifelong dog lover who’s excited to help care for your pup. I work from home two days a week and offer loving, dependable care whether your dog needs companionship, walks, or just someone to check in while you’re away. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities — from high-energy puppies to chill senior dogs — and I always take time to learn what makes each one happiest. Whether it’s belly rubs, structured walks, or cozy couch naps, I’ll match your dog’s vibe. I pride myself on keeping a calm, safe space with plenty of attention when I’m home. When I’m out, I make sure they’re secure, comfortable, and on their routine. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos so you always know how your pup is doing! Let’s schedule a meet-and-greet — I’d love to connect and learn about your dog’s unique needs. I currently work from home two days a week, which allows for extra attention, potty breaks, and companionship during the day. On the other three in-office days, I’m available for early morning, evening, and overnight care depending on your needs. I’m also fully available on weekends, making me a great option for weekend getaways, dog walking, or extended care. No matter the schedule, I’ll always keep your pet's routine in mind and provide updates to give you peace of mind. Your pet’s safety is my top priority. I take every precaution to ensure they are secure, comfortable, and well cared for at all times. I never leave pets unattended in unsecured spaces — whether indoors, in a yard, or during walks. I always use leashes, double-check gates and doors, and follow any safety instructions or routines you provide. I treat every pet like they’re my own and respect the trust you place in me to care for them. You can count on me for reliable, attentive care and regular updates, so you always know your pet is in safe hands.

“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!”


About: I have a natural connection with dogs. All dogs connect with me and my natural sense to nurture and care for them. I’ve been caring for dogs since I was a young girl. I lived on a farm with 6 dogs until I went to college. I have 2 dogs of my own. They need all the love and nurturing from genuine dog lovers. I currently am working part-time and to fill my time taking care of your fury baby or babies. It more than a job when they are happy and filled with joy, or I can nurture them when they are anxious. What ever is their routine or best fits their needs. Depends on the personality of the fur babies that I am sitting with. Most of the time in their own environment and what works for the fury baby or babies.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 11 years old. I have lots of experience with walking, feeding, bathing, and of course play time! I work full time for a Hospital clinic Monday to Friday, and I am available for pet care after 230pm during the week and any time on Saturdays and Sundays. When coming to your home I will ensure to continue your pets care by following any instructions that you leave. They will get lots of play and attention.

About: To start my calendar will say I am available everyday! This is because I can try and work around my work schedule! Just message me with times and I will try my best to accommodate! I have worked with dogs at a couple jobs since I have started working. I worked at a veterinary office with dogs and cats of all sizes and temperaments (mostly pups though). And have had a pup my whole entire life! I have learned many skills with being able to accommodate with dogs that may have disabilities or are just a bit on the older side. I am currently working at a doggy daycare that teaches us about all kinds of dogs and how they may respond to certain situations. I work with dogs from the size of little teacup Yorkies to Mastiff’s . I also love to build a relationship with a pup so they don’t always feel alone when their owner may be gone. We also have the responsibility of measuring the feedings. Also don’t ever hesitate to ask me to maybe grab that mail for ya or to check on your flowers!! Overall I really love working with the pups. Let me know if you have any questions!! I work about 4-5 days a week at my current job. I will almost always be off on Tuesdays Wendesdays and Saturdays! With that being said I will be able to work around a work schedule if you are willing to work with me! I normally work Mondays 8:30AM-6PM, Thursdays and Fridays 6:30AM -2:30PM, Sundays 2:30PM-10PM. I will always let you know if anything changes in my work schedule!! I haven’t quite done the whole coming and taking care of a clients animal at their home before so it will be a little new to me. I do always like to make sure the dog will have a nice comfy warm place to relax is they choose. Always ALWAYS having a water bowl with fresh water for the pup. As well as having toys around to entertain the pup as well as possibly some treats if we are going to be working on a few simple skills. I will always make sure to read a dog and if they are not liking how I am acting I will stop and move on. Or possibly give the dog a second to relax.

Citara J.
“I’ve known Citara J. for years, and I can honestly say she’s one of the most dependable, caring, and thoughtful people I know—especially when it comes to animals. She has a natural way with pets, always patient, gentle, and attentive to their needs. Whether it’s playing with high-energy pups or making shy animals feel safe, Citara just gets them. I’ve seen her care for dogs as if they were her own—always making sure they’re walked, fed, cuddled, and most of all, happy. She’s incredibly responsible, quick to notice when something’s off, and genuinely loves being around animals. Any pet in her care is going to be loved, safe, and well taken care of. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to leave my own pets with her, and I know any other pet parent would feel the same.”

We have numerous horses and a dog on our property. She takes extra time with the dog allowing him to get out and exercise. I fully trust her with our house key. She brings our mail in for us. Some of our animals require medication, and she is able to properly dispense the medications as directed. We depend upon Emma for all of our trips.”
