“Meeka had a great time staying with Julia and her pups! Communication was excellent, and we received several photos and updates during her stay that were so reassuring. We’ll definitely use Julia again while we’re in the area!”
“Oakley and Mom were so pleased with his care at Melinda’s! She made sure to make him feel comfortable and at home in her home. She took special care to follow his food and treat regimen that he was used to and included him in many of her daily activities, which he loved. My time away was stress free as she sent me daily texts and pictures of him to let me know he was happy and well taken care of. Melinda is top notch in our books!”
“Tara is so patient and caring with Matisse! We left him for a three week stay, and he was able to enjoy a ton of play time, socialization with other dogs, and have his own pupcation. Would highly recommend.”
“Emily was so sweet! She gave frequent communication and sent photos our our dogs. It was nice to know they were doing well, they seemed to enjoy their stay! We would recommend Emily and ask for her to sit again in the future.”
About: I have taken care for pets since I was 16. Usually for friends and family. I feel ready to expand and care for others’ pets. I grew up around dogs and cats and have always known that I love them. I’m entering my senior year of college for education. I run track for semo, leaving me with lots of time to care for your pets. I don’t have a fenced yard but I live on a very safe street where many walks can be provided. I also can easily crate your pet if needed. I don’t mind to travel to a park to get some running in .
“Noel U. was amazing with Milly! She got in lots of socialization, several walks a day, and had a great time playing in the awesome backyard. His dog was so sweet and got along great with Milly. He also helped with her potty training and kept me updated every day. Highly recommend!”
“Charlotte is an excellent pet sitter. My pug Sammy loves the time she spends with her. She sends videos, pictures and updates while keeping her. I would recommend her to any overprotective pet parents.”
“Kalyn did a great job taking care of Jack for me. She sent several pictures to let me know Jack was happy and enjoying himself. He had a nice bug back yard to play in and he enjoyed having Kalyns Husky to play with and keep him company. I would book with Kalyn again.”
About: 👋🏽 helloooooo, my name is Eve. I’ve had pets my entire life, and have always been an animal lover. I currently have two rescue pups, Ivy and Buddy . Ivy is a high-energy Australian Shepherd Hound mix. I keep her stimulated with toys/activities and walks throughout the day. Buddy was completely deaf when I rescued him. He’s about 65lbs, and a bit reactive on walks, so I have experience with reactivity and larger breeds. The past few years, I’ve cared for pets for family and friends alike. I decided to take my experience to the next level and offer services via Rover and through online platforms as well. This past year, I’ve started volunteering at a local horse boarding facility, caring for horses of all ages with various temperaments. I’ve gained experience with feeding, grooming, mucking, as well as riding. Through my time with the horses, I have gained a deep love and understanding for them. Aside from horses, I’ve worked with other farm animals as well including goats, chickens, donkeys, ponies, and farm cats and dogs. I am a true animal lover. I am currently working remotely, so I would be able to easily find time throughout my day to check on your babies. Thank you for taking the time to read my bio, if you feel even a slight connection with me please reach out. Peace and love. I am available everyday of the week, except for after 5:30pm on Tuesday’s and Thursday’s. I can check on your pet throughout the day for walks or simply for hanging time. If needed, I’m able to provide animals the proper medication for their individual needs. I’ll always ensure that your fur babies are safe and given adequate attention! I love to give periodic picture updates while going on walks or during play time.
