Pet Sitting in Etterville

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!

“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 have taken care of pets all my life! I grew up with multiple dogs in the house (and some cats) and have always been obsessed with animals! I’ve even fostered the last couple years and gotten to know a plethora of breeds and temperaments! I currently work part-time and would have plenty of time to prioritize your pet! I would include them in everything I do and always inform you of our every move. I have a back yard and a car if transportation of your pet is needed. I have multiple rooms where your furry friend can choose to be on a couch with company or in his crate by himself.

“I will never have the words to explain how much we appreciate Angelina and her services she provides!! She repeatedly goes above and beyond for our fur kids.”

“She took good care of our dog while away. She did everything we asked and made sure our dog got lots of play time before leaving. She was also very easy to communicate with.”

About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is the way I care for your pets like they’re my own. I have hands-on experience with animals of all ages and temperaments—from playful puppies just learning the ropes, to senior pets who need a little extra patience and care. I’m comfortable with giving medications, adjusting routines for older pets, and helping with basic puppy training like crate time and leash walking. I take the time to learn each pet’s unique needs and personality, so they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Whether it’s belly rubs, slow walks, or just quiet company, I’m there to make sure they’re happy and stress-free. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life—living in the country with my family, animals are truly at the heart of our routine. We have a spacious, fenced outdoor area where dogs can safely run, play, and explore. Our own crew includes a friendly dog, three playful cats, a curious bunny, and some happy chickens—so we’re used to all kinds of personalities and care needs. My two children absolutely love giving gentle “lovins” and playtime to our furry (and feathered) guests, and they’re always excited to welcome new animal friends into the mix. Whether it’s making sure a senior dog gets their meds or helping a puppy burn off energy, we approach every day with patience, kindness, and genuine joy for what we do. Caring for animals fits right into our family rhythm—it’s not just part of our schedule, it’s part of who we are. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family. We live in the country with plenty of fresh air, room to roam, and a fully fenced outdoor space where dogs can play safely and freely. Inside, pets have cozy spots to relax and are never left feeling isolated—whether it’s curling up on the couch or enjoying quiet time away from the action if they prefer. We follow your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible—mealtimes, potty breaks, walks, medication, and cuddle time are all handled with care and attention. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect your space and your pet’s comfort zone. I make sure their daily routine is kept consistent and stress-free, from feeding and potty breaks to walks and companionship. Whether I’m stopping in for a visit or staying overnight, I keep communication open with photo updates and notes, so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and relaxed—whether they’re in my home or staying in theirs.

About: I have had experience with dogs my entire life! From having dogs up until my early 20s to dog sitting and house sitting for any of my family whenever they needed someone! I can bathe, walk, rumble and tumble, play, keep up on whatever you are possibly training them on, and even give medication! I can take care of all dogs shapes and sizes! So let's talk about give your pet the best care they deserve! I currently have open availability but am looking for a full time job! That just means I have more time to dedicate myself to your pet and whatever needs they have! I currently can not board any animals at my place because I'm renting and also do not want to stress my cats out. When I have taken care of other pets/houses I always make sure leashes and harnesses are secure, I always avoid dog parks because you never know what kind of situation might happen between other animals and my top priority is your pets safety, and while on walks if I see another dog I always make sure to give them plenty of space by either crossing the road or stopping and letting the others pass. If your pet is showing any signs of discomfort or possibly got into something they shouldn't have I will notify you immediately and we can determine the best outcome from there!

I work weekdays with some exceptions on the weekends. My calendar of availability is updated everyday. Please do not book out longer than a month from the current date without messaging me first. I have a dog of my own! She’s super friendly. But I won’t be bringing her with me on calls unless talked about with you first!

About: I’m already excited to meet you and your pets! I’ve been a massage therapist for over 17yrs, so I give premium pets. Along with that is high standards for care which will includes keeping up to date with CPR/First Aide training. I currently have a grandpa puggle (15yrs old) and young kitty myself. Just like in a massage, snoring, drooling, or farting are all compliments of good care and I look forward to the same with fur clients. I recently moved back to Mid-MO and looking for extra jobs to supplement my massage therapy career. I especially like being busy in the mornings. I have a fenced in yard with one dog and three cats. I love following directions for pet care. Give me all the lists and details! Our own pets have various schedules and diets.

About: Hello, my future favorite pup(s), I work remotely, which gives me the absolute luxury and joy of being available for your fur baby throughout the day. I share my home with Taylor, my sweet rescue pup who’s been with me since shortly after birth. I’ve devoted myself to giving her the safest, most loving, and consistent home possible — a place where she can truly relax and enjoy her golden years. In my home, Taylor is free to be wherever I am — whether that’s on the couch, in the yard, at the kitchen table, or snuggled in bed. My home is her home, and I aim to extend that same comfort and freedom to your pup. As a single dog mom with no children, I have the time and space to give my full attention to Taylor — and to your dog too. Your pup will be cared for with the same level of love, attentiveness, and respect I give my own. I’m happy to accommodate special needs, specific routines, and can confidently handle medication preparation and administration. I also make it a point to educate myself on any unique health needs or conditions your pet may have, ensuring they receive safe, personalized care. Because I work from home, I can offer regular potty breaks every 2–4 hours, minimizing the risk of accidents and keeping your pup comfortable throughout their stay. Your pet’s well-being will always be my top priority, no exceptions. I look forward to meeting you and your sweet companion! Thank you, Krista B.

In some cases, I may actually recommend bringing your dog’s crate when utilizing my boarding services, as it can provide a familiar and comforting space — especially helpful for pups who experience anxiety or are adjusting to a new environment.
