Pet Sitting in Eldon

About: I have been a veterinary assistant at Lake Pet Hospital for 2+ years. There, I assist veterinarians with many tasks including x-rays, toenail trims, filling prescriptions, and giving medications. I'm currently a full time college student, but that is my only commitment other than your pets! I am available most evenings but am also willing to make early mornings work! My many years of experience as a veterinary assistant and kennel technician give me peace of mind that taking care of your furry friend will be a breeze and a blast!

About: I’ve taken care of many types of animals and have my own recuse dog. I’ve had ferrets, rabbits, cats and dogs of my own. I can also provide basic training skills. I currently have a full time job from 8:15am-3-15pm. I have summer break during June and work summer school hours (I can give that info if needed!) I can do pretty much anytime other than that! I’m a very trustworthy person and would never do anything that puts your animal in harm. I will always ensure that the animal is being loved like my own and taken care of.

“Mckenzie took good care of our cats on a couple of drop-in visits! We were pleased that she was prompt and spent time getting our shy animals out to stretch their legs.”

About: I have taken care of pets my whole life. I am the one my family calls when they need pet care if they're going out of town. Whether it is for 2 days or 2 months, I care for the animals everyday and always report back to the owners. I am currently working part time, so I have a lot of time to care for your pets! I mostly work weekends and a few days during the week, those usually being night shifts. I am excited to care for any pet of any kind, shape or size! I will always walk, feed, and groom your pet as needed. I can carry your pet if they can't walk, and I can run with your pet if that's all they want to do!

About: I’ve always loved dogs and have been around them my whole life. As a teacher and coach, I’m dependable, patient, and I am comfortable handling all kinds of personalities and energy levels. I’m very active, so I enjoy walks, playtime, and keeping dogs engaged and cared for. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I take that responsibility seriously. Whether your dog is high-energy, needs extra attention, or just wants someone calm and reliable around, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m also comfortable following specific routines, administering basic medications if needed, and providing updates/photos so you can have peace of mind while your pet is in my care. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. As a teacher and coach, I have a structured schedule and am very consistent with my time. I’m available before and after school, evenings, weekends, and during breaks throughout the year including all summer off. I’m active and enjoy being outside, so walks, playtime, and spending time with dogs is something I genuinely enjoy. I’m also used to balancing responsibilities and staying dependable, so making sure pets are cared for, exercised, and getting attention would always be a priority. I understand that every pet is different, so I always try to follow each owner’s routines and preferences as closely as possible to help pets feel comfortable and secure. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, safety, consistency, and attention are always my top priorities. I make sure pets have plenty of supervision, exercise, water, and attention throughout the day. I’m careful with walks, feeding schedules, medications, and any specific instructions provided by the owner. I also know how important communication is, so I’ll provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is being well cared for. I treat every pet like they’re my own and aim to create a calm, safe, and positive environment while they’re in my care.

“Josie is a cat whisperer! We’ve had a number of people care for our fur babies and only Josie has been able to get both cats out from under the bed to eat and play! And for the first time ever, Sweetie got her insulin shots!!! When we got home I think they were both disappointed that it wasn’t Josie walking through the door!! Thank you, Josie for taking such good care of Sweetie and Bugs! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️”

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was a young child, my passion for animals encouraged me to pursue a career working with animals. In recent years I have worked animal husbandry caring for domestic pets, exotic big cats, wolves, snakes, birds and more. I am comfortable working with all sizes of dogs and as well as other species. I have 5 years vet tech experience so can help with medical issues and medications as needed. I am fully available except when I’m out of town helping my sick father (usually a week each month). I can check in as frequently or long as you need, but I do have an older 30lb (dog friendly) pup who needs medications twice daily and I am the only one that can provide those to him. If he cannot be with me while providing other pets care then I will need to return to him once morning and evening to ensure he is taken care of. Can stay overnight preferably only one night at a time so I can return to my pets. I have recently moved so no longer have a fenced yard, but have a large home with dog runs on trees in the backyard. I have an easy going 30lb Pomeranian mutt named Teddy. My dog is very easy to get along with other dogs, as I have fostered and watched other animals numerous times in the years of me having him. I watch my brother’s pitbull mix named Hercules on a regular basis as well. I do have cats so would prefer if they were used to them, but have an area of my home doggy gated off so they can feel safe when other pets visit my home.

About: Animals are life!🩷 I have a dog, two cats, a bunny, and a chameleon so I am definitely an animal person! They are so fun! I have a lot of free time after I drop my daughter off at school. I love meeting new dogs and walking so I’m hoping to be able to walk some new puppy friends! 🩷 I have a French Bulldog that would love a buddy to play with, your dog will be part of the family and will be spoiled as one of our own!

About: As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member. I’ve always been hesitant to leave my own pets at a boarding facility, so I understand the peace of mind that comes from knowing they’re receiving plenty of love, attention, and personalized care in a home environment. Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I have experience caring for dogs, cats, ferrets, and other small pets. Whether your pet loves playtime, cuddles, long walks, or simply having a companion nearby, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I am a full time Ultrasound Tech. My work hours are 7-5:30 and off on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. My husband gets home at 5PM and is able to help with care as well! Weekend trips are perfect for me but if you need care through the week, it still works! I have a corgi and 2 kids ages 3 and 6! I also have two cats but they can be separated from the dogs easily if your dog hates cats! (the cats have the whole finished basement) I have a large yard for your babies to run around if they are trained to come when called. If not, I have no issues bringing them outside on a leash!

About: I have experience working with and caring for a variety of animals (Dogs, Cats, Birds, Chickens) including feeding, grooming, exercising, and monitoring their overall health and well-being. I have 2 dogs, black/tan coonhound Waylon, and Black/tan mini dachshund Molly, and my orange tabby cat Garfield. Through my interactions with animals, I have developed patience, responsibility, and strong observation skills, allowing me to recognize changes in behavior and respond appropriately to their needs. I am comfortable handling animals in a safe and compassionate manner and understand the importance of maintaining clean living environments, following care routines, and ensuring animals receive proper attention and enrichment. My experience has strengthened my commitment to providing quality care and promoting the welfare of animals. I am currently working part time as a dog groomer but have a lot of time around work to help care for your pets! I'm also available during the weekend. I currently have 3 dogs at my house that use a fenced in yard and they use kennels as well. When I take them out, I use a good leash and make sure to have a tight grip.

About: I’ve been around animals since age 5! I’ve taken care of my family and friends’ dogs since then and gone on countless walks with them! I currently work around 25-30 hours a week and am free most of the day! I work around 5 hours each day I work and can swing by your house to check on your pet as many times as needed between. I have a dog crate and a mostly empty neighborhood to go on walks and also have a pet-friendly car to transport your pet to dog parks!

“It was so nice to know that Lexie was reliable when I was out of the country. Her communication is excellent and it is evident that she cares about your pets as is they were her own. I will definitely be rebooking with her!”

About: I have grown up with and around dogs and cats since I was a little girl, and feel much more comfortable around them than I do most people! Nothing makes my heart happier than being surrounded by all types of animals. My goal is to treat your babies like family members , and do whatever it takes to make them happy and comfortable while you are away. I love to be active with dogs whether it is playing, walking, or running. On the other hand, I am just as happy to sit around and simply pet your furry friends if they are older and / or more relaxed. I will accept any breed and any age, I am more than comfortable with whatever is needed and requested.

About: I love all animals and can’t wait to hear about or meet your furry family member . Allow me to look after your beloved pets, plants, home and many other things. If you need to be out of town or just need a little extra help with a high energy pet. Check my schedule and see if my services align with what you’re looking for. I have a few furry felines and dogs that I already help take care of.. I have cared for small to medium size dogs in the past and grew up with a house full of pets. Including but not limited to dogs, cats, rodents, reptiles, foul/birds, and minimal farm animals. However, every fur buddy or man’s best friend is unique. Let’s communicate on the needs or preferences for your special furry family member and see if I can accommodate. I appreciate your careful consideration. I can be flexible on scheduling and accommodations. Such as pick up/drop off, boarding, full day care, in home care, walks, vet visits and much more. Please be considerate of my time and cancellations and I will do the same respect. Thank you so much! I can’t think of any thing more wonderfully rewarding than to help you care for your furry loved ones. I currently am only caring for a few furry felines and small/medium dogs for close family. I’m looking to expand and see the rest of MidMo and its pet lovers community. Thank you for all your consideration and shares! Fenced in yard. Single room with twin bed for single or multi pets of same family Pet owner provides: Food Medications Optional items: Blankets Toys Treats Care and exercise needs can be discussed and evaluated further upon request. Each pet is different in what care they need. There are many energy levels and temperaments to keep aware of.

About: I’ve spent my whole life—28 wonderful years—loving, learning, and caring for dogs of all kinds, from tiny Chihuahuas to gentle Saint Bernards! I adore all animals (cats included 🐾) and know how important your pet’s happiness and comfort are. I’d be honored to care for your furry family member like my own. ❤️ I'm a mom to two amazing toddlers. Caring for animals is something I truly love, and I can’t wait to spend time with your furry friend—whether that’s walks, playtime, or overnight care. My schedule is flexible if your pet is kid-friendly and can get along with my cockapoo. Every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. For example, I once cared for a miniature schnauzer who needed lots of love and attention. When I had to leave the house, he felt safest in his kennel, so I made sure he had his favorite toy, something that smelled like me, and a small treat to help ease his anxiety. I fully understand that each pet requires different care, and I am more than happy to accommodate your dog’s individual needs to ensure they feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for at all times. 🐾💛

About: I have four years of experience working in a veterinary clinic, where I gained hands-on knowledge in animal care, health, and behavior. I also have four dogs of my own, so caring for pets is truly second nature to me. I’m confident administering medications if needed, and I always treat every animal as if they were my own—with patience, love, and attention to detail. I have four dogs and three cats of my own, each with a set feeding routine and potty schedule that I follow daily. Caring for animals has always been a big part of my life! My mother owns a grooming business just down the road, so I’ve grown up around professional pet care and often help out there as needed. I’ve also worked in a veterinary clinic, where I gained hands-on experience with animal health and daily care. In addition, I help manage our family farm operation with cattle and horses at my grandparents’ place. Taking care of animals is something I do every single day—and something I truly love! I live on about three peaceful acres along a quiet gravel road, with a small fenced-in area in the backyard and a large open front yard for plenty of room to play. I have two friendly large dogs who stay outdoors to help keep the property safe, and two smaller indoor dogs who love to keep our guests company. All of my dogs are very social and gentle with new friends! If your pup prefers to stay on leash, I’m happy to offer leash walks for their comfort and safety. My animals follow a consistent morning and evening routine, and I have crates available if that’s part of your dog’s normal setup. My cats are also friendly and loving, and there are several cozy dog beds throughout the house for your pet to relax on. At night, the dogs sleep in the bedroom—so your furry kiddo is more than welcome to snuggle right in! My home is calm and quiet (no children), and I’m typically home every day by 3 p.m. or earlier. On most days, I don’t leave until around 9 a.m.—and often, I’m home all day giving your pets the love and attention they deserve.

“My dogs are anxious with new people and can be pretty temperamental, but Jennifer was great with them! She adapted and improvised when my dogs were scared and growling. And she sent lots of updates and photos to let me know they were okay. Very reliable, and I would definitely trust her again!”
