About: I’ve had cats all my life and currently own two of my own cats. Many of my friends have larger dogs, and have relied on me to help check on them while they are out of town and take them for walks and have play dates. I love all kinds of dogs and cats! I am currently working from home on Mondays and Fridays, but that will change to working from home on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday in the next couple of weeks. My nights are mostly free and am able to be flexible with my schedule. I will make sure your pet is comfortable, well fed and hydrated, and give them the playtime and snuggles they need! I make sure litter boxes and yards are clean and clean up any accidents that may happen.
“Another successful booking with Chloe for our 3 pups! I received daily photos/videos, daily medication was administered, and the pups were in great spirits upon our return. You can tell they were well cared for.”

“I went out of town for a couple of days and Emily stayed at my place watching my dog Leo. She was so responsive and caring. She also sent daily updates and pictures. Emily was so sweet with Leo I will definitely have who come watch him again she I’m out of town ❤️❤️”

“Emily was great. She was able to help me out last minute for the holidays and everything went amazing. She updated me frequently with photos. Came home to happy pups! I would and will definitely use her again.”

“Mae was amazing!! She stayed with my two kitties for 5 days and they were well taken care of during that time. They sent me daily pictures and kept in contact and promptly responded back when I sent a text. It was such a relief having someone to depend on when out of town. Don’t hesitate to have Mae stay with your animals… they will be happy and you will be at ease as well. Thank you Mae!! Will definitely use them again!!”

“Jennifer took care of our two high energy dogs without any issues! She was incredibly responsive and left our house in great condition. I highly recommend her.”

“Bri made me feel so comfortable with leaving town knowing how much my kitty liked her at the meet and greet and the time she took to let me get to know her. She took excellent care of my senior kitty who gets very stressed when left alone and was more than happy to spend above and beyond time with her, giving her love and attention and even making sure her bird shows were on/sat with her during tv time which is my cats absolute favorite thing 😸. She had no problem staying the night so my kitty didn’t get stressed being all alone and was totally good with kitty sleeping above her head..:the highest compliment in kitty world. 😻 She took excellent care of the house and checked on plants as well per my request. She had no issue with changing potty pads which is an unusual request for cat sitting to say the least haha. She also kept me supplied with updates and pics to set my mind at ease. Would absolutely recommend her to anyone! 10/10”

“Mikayla did a great job looking after my babies and communicating! She sent plenty of pictures and was even kind enough to wash the sheets for the room she stayed in. I really appreciate her services and will definitely use her for future pet care needs!”

“Hayden did a good job taking care of Jack while I was out of town. She was very attentive to his needs and made me feel comfortable. Communication was good.”


“Ashley was amazing! It was a little rough for her and Cooper in the beginning but they both worked through Cooper's issues.I got updates several times a day which I loved. She made sure that Cooper felt safe which was my biggest priority and when she left I think my house was a little cleaner than when I left for vacation. I would definitely recommend Ashley and will be calling her again in the future.!!!”

“Nicole did a wonderful job caring for my pets! Both of my dogs can be skittish around new people, but they took quickly to her and were comfortable with her in their space. She did an amazing job at communicating with me and sent lots of pictures so I knew how they were doing. I would definitely book with Nicole again!”

“James was amazing with our dogs. We can’t say enough good things about him. He was very accommodating and both our dogs were mad at us when we had to leave. I would highly recommend James and we will definitely use his services again when we are back in the area.”

About: I have been taking training, looking after, and loving pets for as long as I can remember. My grandmother, a liscenced trainer, has taught me everything I know from puppy care, crate training, leash training, to medication administration and food aggression. I have also had a lot of experience with rescues and more skiddish dogs. I have cared for dogs ranging from the ages of 3 weeks old to 15 years old. I live in a 2 bedroom 2 bathroom apartment with a fenced backyard. I recently moved from Washington state back to Missouri with my fiancé and I’ve also had a new baby girl so I have a lot of free time on my hands currently. I am available on all weekdays and on all weekends. Everyday I would take my dog out for a quick walk before I left for work, at that time she also gets an apple, refill on water and her morning vitamins/treats with breakfast. When I get home I let her go potty then we go over routine training, with many treats of course, then to the dog park. On occasion we stop to get a pup cup and coffee on the way home. She then has dinner and her nighttime vitamins, I brush her teeth an it’s bedtime. For my 2 cats we have breakfast at 9am. wet and dry food with vitamins then we change the litter. We have treats throughout the day then dinner, wet and dry food with vitamins, at 8pm.
About: I focus on personalized care for every pet, whether it’s keeping up with a playful puppy’s training routine or giving extra patience and comfort to senior pets. I pay close attention to their behavior, stick to their normal schedule, and make sure they feel safe and loved while you’re away. I’m currently unemployed as of right now so I’m available anytime! Monday - Friday Pet care is a regular part of my daily routine, so I’m able to plan my schedule around feeding times, walks, and check-ins. I make sure pets get consistent attention throughout the day and adjust my routine as needed to meet each pet’s needs. I care for pets by keeping their routine as consistent as possible, whether they’re in my home or theirs. In a client’s home, I follow feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions to help pets feel comfortable in their own space. In my home, I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment with plenty of attention, exercise, and supervision. I always make sure pets get lots of affection and updates are shared with owners.

Jason did a terrific job. He made an immediate connection with our dogs and was very mindful of instructions for the care of our senior dog that requires additional attention. He stayed in constant communication with us and left our home in great condition. Highly recommend!

James was amazing with our dogs. We can’t say enough good things about him. He was very accommodating and both our dogs were mad at us when we had to leave. I would highly recommend James and we will definitely use his services again when we are back in the area.

Ranae took very good care of my two cats while I was away on a long vacation. She sent daily pictures of them and kept the house very clean for us upon arrival back to our home. She was very communicative and helpful while we were away! We will for sure be rebooking with Ranae again! THANK YOU RANAE!!!
