Pet Sitting in Dixie

“Samantha and Jesse did an excellent job of caring for our cat during a long trip we took over the holidays. They were very attentive and kept us updated with pictures and information. Our cat was well cared for and they brought in packages we received while we were gone. I would definitely book again.”

“Ashley was amazing! Our outdoor kitty was home alone while we traveled and we didn't want her to feel abandoned. Ashley came every morning, checked in on her and gave her some love. Perfect arrangement. We'll definitely ask Ashley for help again.”

About: I’ve had a deep love for animals since I was a kid, and I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 7 years old. My first dog was a beloved member of our family for 12 wonderful years, and since then we have welcomed three more pups into our lives. One of them is my own, Nala, a pitbull mix who is truly my entire world. I have experience with dogs of all ages, including geriatric dogs and those needing regular medication. In addition to dogs, I’ve had rabbits since I was 11. My current bunny, Minnette, will be 14 this August after losing her bonded partner in 2021. I’ve also regularly cat sat for friends and family and am comfortable with feline care. Over the years I’ve rescued many dogs and volunteered at the Animal Protective Association, also known as APA, in St. Louis where I gained hands-on experience with a wide variety of breeds and temperaments. I have a particular interest in dog body language and behavior. I love learning how to make animals feel safe, understood, and happy. Whether your pet is playful, shy, elderly, or energetic, I will be attentive to their unique needs and treat them like family. I just graduated college at Mizzou, and am taking a gap year before I begin graduate school next fall! This means I have plenty of time and my schedule is wide open to care for your pets. <3 I have always been an avid animal lover-- not even just dogs, but all sorts of pets! I have had my bunny since she was 1 year old and I was 11, and she is now about to turn 14 next month! I have also had dogs since I was 7 years old! I grew up with my childhood dog, Louie for 12 years. Now, I have my own dog, Nala. I have had her for about 3 years now, and I consider myself to be a helicopter parent (ask anyone haha)! With that being said, I am ALWAYS paying attention to details, instructions, and am very vigilant about making sure your pet is getting everything they need. As I do with my own pets, I will give that same attention and dedication to yours!

“I’m not one to submit a review unless the service is really bad or really good. In this case it is really good. Whitney is great. She has dropped in on Jo Jo several times and has gone above and beyond every time. She is completely reliable, knowledgeable, and caring. At the risk of making her availability more competitive, I strongly recommend you consider Whitney to help with your canine family members.”

“Liane did a wonderful job taking care of our 2 cats. She was available on short notice and made time to come meet and greet ahead of time. Highly recommend and will request again in the future.”

“I had Maia do drop-in visits for my two cats while I was on vacation this month. She was wonderful. She did an initial meet-n-greet and was very pleasant. While I was away, she completed each daily drop-in and sent me a meaningful update with several pictures. This helped ease my mind tremendously. My nearly feral cats (around strangers) were even eating treats out of her hand a couple or so days in and she sent pics of that. Very reassuring! Maia even put out bird seed daily for me so the wild birds I feed wouldn’t go without. Maia was as pleasant as they come. Her personal and professional experience with animals made me feel so much better leaving my pets under her supervision. Highly recommend Maia!”

About: I have been caring for animals my entire life. When I was 8 I started my own dog walking business to raise money for charity. More recently, I have been house and farm sitting for many people. I am comfortable taking care of cats, dogs, small pets, livestock, chickens, and whatever other pets you may have. I love animals, and I will make all of your kids feel loved while I'm there! I am currently a graduate student at William Woods University, getting my MBA. I just graduated with a degree in Equine Administration. I am working 20 hours a week as a graduate assistant. My schedule is very flexible, allowing me to stop by the pets regularly. I care for all animals as if they were my own. I ensure that all animals have the same routine that they would have with their owners. Not having their people home can be very hard for pets, so I like to do everything I can to keep them calm, happy, and loved until their humans come home.

“Echo really liked Ashley, he was such a ham for her. Ashley did a great job checking on our dog while we were away. We would recommend her services!”

“Nicole was awesome to work with! I felt like the cats were well taken care of while we were gone, and that peace of mind is priceless! Thanks, Nicole!”

About: Hi, I’m Maggie, a lifelong animal lover with a soft spot for every tail wag and purr. I have experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, personalities, and energy levels. Whether your pet needs long walks, playtime, or just a cozy cuddle buddy, I’ll treat them like family. I’m reliable, communicative, and always focused on your pet’s safety and happiness. Can’t wait to meet your furry friend! I’m currently transitioning out of the military and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give your pet my full attention. Since I’m not working a traditional 9–5 right now, I can easily accommodate walks and drop-ins including last-minute bookings. Whether your pet stays in your home or mine, I provide a safe, clean, and loving environment. I follow your care instructions closely—meals, walks, meds, or snuggles—and do my best to keep their routine consistent so they feel comfortable and secure. I’ll keep you updated with regular photos and messages, so you always know how your pet is doing.

“Alora was a life saver covering our pups during the holiday! She was reliable and handled our pups well!”

“Molly is a very professional dog caretaker. I recommend using Molly when you go out of town. She will stop by your house and care for your pet and you have nothing to worry about. She’s kind and follows directions very well.”

“Megan kept our cat, Stephen, happy and well fed. She dropped in every day to check on him and give him attention. Everything was in great shape when we returned and Stephen was not distressed that we were out of town for several days. I would definitely hire Megan if we are away from home again.”

About: I have always had a natural love for animals. Ever since I was a little girl, I have felt my purpose in life was to care for every kind of animal. I have had pets since I was 6 years old and I now have a dog of my very own. I am organized, efficient, and compassionate when tending to the needs of animals. I also previously worked at a veterinary hospital and doggy daycare. I learned lots of valuable information about animals and their needs. I also gained lots of experience of the “not-so-glamorous” tasks of maintaining the health and cleanliness of the pets’ environments. I am currently available for pet care in the evenings after 5pm Monday through Thursday. I can check in and take your pet for a walk, feed them dinner, and play.

“Sydney was great! She stopped in to check on them, let them out and even cleaned their muddy feet. I didnt have to worry about them being cared for! Highly recommend 😊”

“Happy to have her check in on my old baby of a cat!”

About: Growing up, I was a part of a program called Human Animal Bonding in Colorado, where I was taught how to connect top dogs emotionally, socially and verbally and use those skills to apply to real life situations, breaking me out of my social, insecure, neurodivergent shell. I've grown up with six big terriers, so I know my way around big, cuddly, dogs. My best friend is a German Shepherd named Ziva. I currently work part-time shifts that can go from 7-2 (Tues), or 7 - 11 (Wed), or 7-4 (weekends). I wish to pursue my dog-loving passions and possibly turn it into a career, alongside with my first responder training, and I hope starting Rover will do that. I take care of big dogs, numerous cats, and six other types of animals at home, so I can't have other animals at home due to the unfamiliarity. I am looking for extra activities, ones that consists outside of work and home because that's all where I am ever at these days. I just moved to Missouri, and I hope to find show the love I have for animals to places beyond my home. I have all kinds of necessary dog/cat accommodations. I have crates if needed, toys, extra food, leashes, etc. In my home, I have two big dogs who are trained to stay on 30 acres of property, they co-exist with barn cats and other various animals. Because of the other critters on the land, I do have to let them outside every time I leave the house. I had a dog that received special medical treatment every day and had to be watched regularly as he grew mean and tiredsome due to his deteriorating health. Fortunately, he is in a better place, but it shows that I can manage and care for dogs all of different behaviors and necessities and if I can use some of that stuff for other dogs, I've love to.

About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was little. There was always at least one dog in my home at all times. I love dogs! Right now my schedule a little flexible for drop ins, walks and other dog needs. Boarding can also be considered. Prefer nothing after 8pm but will make exceptions. I currently take my dogs out in the yard on a leash and walks in the neighborhood. I'm open to whatever your dog may need.

About: Personally I have 6 dogs of my own that I take care of every single day plus two cats! Including a border collie/Australian shepherd mix, purebred Australian shepherd, two mini toy Australian shepherds, a Havanese/Maltese mix, and an English pointer. As you can see no job is too big, or messy lol! I have experience in taking care of multiple dogs at once and I’m different shapes and sizes. I absolutely adore animals and make it my life goal to do everything I can to help and care for them. I’ve bathed, walked, fed, played, and cleaned up after at least 2 dogs at once and have no problem with multitasking by now:). Every year my parents go to Colorado for two-three weeks and I also watch their dogs as well! I have gotten all 6 of my dogs when they were puppies so I definitely have experience with puppy accidents, energy and over all care. I recently had a senior dachshund who lived to be 17. With that in mind, I have experience with giving medications, helping the senior pups getting around, and making sure all their needs are met. I am currently working a part time job along with school from 9:30-1:50. After May 15th I will be graduated and open for full time dog caring! My work schedule usually follows 4pm-9:30pm on weeks days and 7am-12pm on weekends. I have a huge fenced in yard with plenty of toys and dog beds to keep your doggo happy and comfy! I personally give my dogs potty breaks every 2-4 hours when possible. I know everyone has their own preferences to how their animal is cared for so your word is my promise. I will follow your regular routine as much as possible to keep you and your furry friend happy! I will bathe, walk, run, play, love and care for every single animal.
