About: Animals have been a constant in my life - I’ve grown up with dogs and then fell in love with cats in my adult years. I know how much pets become family, and I’ve always had a soft spot for them. I’m comfortable with all ages and temperaments and have cared for pets through all stages of life - from energetic puppies to mellow seniors. Whether it’s walking, playing, feeding, or just keeping them company, I bring years of hands on experience and a genuine love for what I do. I currently work night shifts at a restaurant, which leaves my mornings, afternoons, and late nights open - perfect for walks, check-ins, or overnight stays. My schedule is consistent and gives me plenty of time to give pets the attention they need. Whether it’s a morning walk, midday hangout, or evening care, I’m available and happy to make your pet a regular part of my day. Your pet will be in kind, capable hands. I love being outside and staying active, so walks, park trips, and playtime are always on the table if your pet’s into it. I’ll follow their routine closely, keep things calm and consistent, and make sure they feel loved and relaxed while you’re away. Whether I’m dropping in, staying overnight, or just taking your dog for a walk, I treat every animal with the same love and attentiveness I give my own.

Kebrah D.
“I am the Founder and Director of the Bollinger County Stray Project in Southeast Missouri. Last summer Kebrah stayed with my husband and I for about 7-weeks. She brought her rescue dog Debbie with her. Debbie and one of her cats also came from our rescue. I am Kebrah's Aunt Marilyn. We have 35 to 72 dogs and pups here on our ranch at all times. I can't afford to have a careless or non-caring volunteer help with so many dog personalities and energy levels. Kebrah was a fast learner and has a gift with dogs. She helped feed, clean pens and very importantly socialize dogs that needed her help the most. Her own dog Debbie means the world to her. That says a lot about a teenager. She is mature beyond her years. We have asked her to come back. That says a lot about how much we appreciated her handling and helping the dog and helping us. Living almost 1000 miles apart, we felt lucky to get to know the beautiful and smart person she is.”


Annika K.Star Sitter
“Annika has been around pets for all of her life. She has also been dog sitting for others for years. She is very good with all breeds and has a great cheerful and ki d personality to care for them. You can entrust annika with your most prized pet and she will take good care of them.”


Melina E.
“I am so grateful for Melina's help! We have an older dog who needs meds and a young, high energy dog. During a rough time in our family we needed help with them during the week. She walked, fed, and made sure med's were taken in the morning, and another walk in the afternoon. The dogs were happy and healthy, excited to see her. We felt comfortable having her care for the dogs and being in the house when we weren't home. Melina is responsible, trustworthy, and loving. I can't recommend her highly enough!”


Kadyn S.
“Kadyn is great with our dog, who always comes back worn out and happy after walks. I would recommend Kadyn to take care of your pet. She is prompt and reliable.”
