“Breeonna was AMAZING with our boys while we were away! She kept me updated on how they were and not only took care of my boys but our home as well. I had absolutely no stress while we were away knowing my boys were getting all the cuddles and attention they're used to getting daily. When we got home, my boys were incredibly happy and healthy and our home was in tip top shape. Breeonna even went above and beyond washing all bedding, towels, took out the trash, and even did all the dishes. She left the place in incredible condition and I couldn't appreciate her more. I will absolutely be using her in the future.”

“Isabella did amazing with all my babies! Willow my Great Dane absolutely loves her. Gizmo my anxious little Yorkie is so calm with her and doesn't care that I'm gone when she's there. She also took care of my bouncy kitty Jazzy and kept her busy and out of trouble. I would absolutely hire her again in a heartbeat!”

About: I’ve taken care of my own dogs since before I can remember and I watch my parents dogs on trips quite often. I also watch other friends dogs as well as I’ve done some overnight house sitting! I am a Registered Nurse at Big Tree and I have two dogs of my own but can stay overnight at your house if needed! I am available to watch overnight as well as during the weekend. I am willing to do medications as well as walks and play time! I usually can let the dogs out by 3-4 hours max!
“Janae saved us by last minute being available for a long trip when our original plans cancelled on us. She house sat and watched our dog and two cats while also helping out with trash and mail. Janae helped us have peace of mind while we were abroad and we felt comfortable knowing she was at home watching our fur babies. Would definitely book Janae again in the future!”

“Michelle was so great! She took such great care of our Sunny and Arlo! She kept us updated and provided pictures regularly. She made us feel great that our dogs were loved and in great hands while we were gone. We highly recommend Michelle!”


About: Pets have been a part of my life ever since I can remember, and their welfare is of utmost importance to me. From farm animals to domestic animals, I treat your best friends as I would treat my own. Experienced in senior care and puppy care as well as cats and feral cats. Have volunteered at a shelter with bathing, walking, and cleaning kennels as well as boarding dogs for friends. My availability is open depending on your needs and logistics for dog walking and drop ins. Prefer if walking the dog in the community earlier morning hours or later afternoon hours to avoid the heat. For dropping by, anytime of the day can work. I service the Eldon, Missouri, area to the eastside of Jefferson City, Missouri. Trips to the Taos, Missouri, dog park can be arranged. When caring for pets in your home, I abide by your rules and wishes and what your companion feels safe and comfortable with. Glad to send pictures!
“Mikaya was a huge relief. She has a very kind and peaceful way about her that was reassuring as I had made a late booking. She was great about fitting in a meet and greet and we instantly felt at ease leaving her with our crew. She send lots of great pics and videos as they made friends and she very quickly won over our skittish puppy. I highly recommend her for house sitting and dog walking as she is very reliable, communicative, and is overall just a really lovely person.”


About: I stand out because I offer dependable, personalized care that fits each pet’s routine and personality. I’m comfortable with young pets that need extra patience, consistency, and reinforcement of basic training, as well as senior pets that may need a gentler pace, medication support, and close attention to comfort and mobility. I focus on keeping pets calm, safe, and happy, while giving owners regular updates and peace of mind. Pet care is a natural and meaningful part of my daily routine. I build my schedule around the pets I’m caring for, making time for consistent walks, feeding, and calm, attentive companionship. I’m home often with a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide steady care throughout the day and a peaceful, secure environment overnight. Whether it’s daytime visits or extended stays, I focus on creating a balanced, comforting routine so each pet feels safe, relaxed, and right at home. I care for pets with a calm, attentive approach, whether they’re in my home or their own familiar space. In my home, I create a peaceful, balanced environment with consistent routines, cozy spaces to relax, and plenty of gentle attention so pets feel safe and comfortable. I’m mindful of their individual needs, energy levels, and preferences, making sure they have the right mix of activity and rest. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to maintain their usual routine to help them feel secure and at ease. I respect your space, follow all care instructions closely, and provide dependable, loving companionship while you’re away. My goal in both settings is to create a steady, comforting experience where pets feel happy, relaxed, and well cared for.
About: Note: I love cats and offer cat sitting as well as dog sitting! I'm happy to stay at your house or visit your kitty while you're away. At this time, we can not board your cat at our home. Thank you! **We try our hardest to keep our calendar up to date so be sure to make sure we are available the week/day your pup needs a vacay** My wife and I both love dogs! We have one miniature Dachshund who is our spoiled little baby! We both work 5 min from home and have a very flexible schedule so we come home several times a day to check on our pup and walk her so your dog is sure to get LOTS of love and attention as well as plenty of outside play time. We do prefer to keep only medium and small dogs. This is for both your pup's safety and comfort as well as ours. We understand how difficult it is to leave your fur-baby but we want to make it a little easier on both you and your baby! From daily pictures sent directly to you assuring you that your dog is having a blast on their own vacay to video chats with your pet via Skype or FaceTime so your baby can hear your voice and you can see them running around and playing! We live in a town home in Regent Park and have a huge grassy common area behind our house for your pup to play in! We just installed a fence and some fresh sod in our backyard so your pup is sure to enjoy being outside with us on top of their walks! We also have several trails that we like to walk and would love for your dog to join us (if you are ok with it and your dog enjoys sunset walks :) My wife is home most days and I work only five minutes from the house so we are available all day day to spend quality time with your fur baby! I have a fenced in yard and lots of extra space for your pups crate/bed so they can be sure to feel right at home.
About: Providing quality care is very important to me. I have Veterinary experience and I am trained/ certified in Pet First Aid, CPR, Medication Administration (oral, topical, and injections), Providing Sub-Q / IV fluids, and I specialize in medical needs animals, and reactive or aggressive animals. I have had pets my entire life and I’ve cared for all different types of animals. Dogs, cats, snakes, ferrets, rats, guinea pigs, other small animals, horses, and even a Patagonian Mara! I do not have any restrictions on pets I can’t care for. I worked as a dog groomer so I have experience with bathing and grooming and would be happy to provide grooming services for an additional cost. I try to always be available in times of need. Whether that be an emergency, late night visit, or a last minute booking. This is one reason I accept bookings 24/7 unless we are traveling. I do pet sitting full time. You need an overnight visit for a pet with medical needs? No problem! You have a puppy who needs to go out in the middle of the night? You got it! Whatever your needs may be, I promise that I am willing to work with you the best I can! I will always make your pets safety a priority when they are in my care. Any instructions given will be carefully read and followed. Pictures can be sent, updates given, and lots of pets of course. Treats too if given permission first!
