“Barbara is so good with our kitties! She’s great at pilling them and leaves pictures and updates each day. She brings a bag of goodies for the kitties to play with and left us a thoughtful welcome home gift too! We are so glad we found her!”


“Ashley is amazing with my pups. I booked her for four days to drop in and she made sure they got their potty breaks as well as played with them and let them enjoy the outdoors for awhile. She sends pics along with an update of the visit. I will continue to use her and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a service. Thanks Ashley.”


About: I have taken care of my own pets for all of my life. People have noticed the care and time I put into their lives and have trusted me to train and take care of of others peoples pets as well. I love walking, playing, feeding and anything you can think of with your pets. I am available pretty much every day all day except for Wednesday and Sunday morning. Feel free to contact me and work out a good time. Anything needed I can provide at clients home. Only thing I am unable to do is keep pets at my own home. Just give me details and I’ll be ready.

About: I am an experienced and trustworthy pet-sitter, dog walker, and animal trainer. With an education that qualifies me as a certified reward-based dog trainer with the skills and talent needed to train anything from service dogs to search and rescue dogs, you can expect nothing less than the best care for your fur-babies from me. As a Doordash driver, my schedule is very flexible and I can find the time for you and your babies just about any day. Let's talk! When in a client's home, I will be sure to stay alert and mindful as always. I can offer play, feeding, treats, pets, cuddles, brushing, and more! I am a firm believer that animals deserve the greatest care possible, and will do what I can to provide that top-notch care and attention, made even more effective with my ability to read the body language of animals.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life! I’ve enjoyed taking care of my family and friend's pets since I was around 14. I also worked at a doggy daycare/boarding place for over a year, taking care of up to around one hundred dogs a day. I often stayed overnight there to make sure they were all doing good. Including all dogs from young to old and dogs with disabilities, illnesses, etc. With this experience taking care of one dog to a couple dogs will be no problem for me and I’ll have a great time doing it! I’m currently in college and most of my classes are online. I’d be more than happy to look after your pups while working on assignments on my laptop. Your dogs will be my first priority and I’ll still have plenty of time to play, go on walks and give them a ton of attention! I’m more than happy to follow whatever schedule your dog is used to with feeding times, meds, etc. and any other particular things I can do make them happy! Along with being respectful to your home and all the rules you have, including taking care of household duties like taking out the trash before pickup and etc.

About: Neighbors friends and families have all relied on me to bath, walk, medicate their babies and I worked at a doggy daycare and boarding resort! I’m currently working between the vet clinic and grants farm live stock care! But my schedule has more room and I want to dedicate it to any and all animals I can! I have one dog well trained, free roam of the house, allowed on everything, potty trained and go out for his walk every day, and takes days off as he wants!

About: I have taken care of many dogs even ones with medical issues and I also am very active so walking them would be no problem! I work full time but I am able to make it work , I am also doing online college so that makes it easier also! Whether or not your dogs are trained off leash, I would prefer walking them, or taking them out on their leash just in case they don’t listen and runoff!


“Alicia is so sweet with the cats. She takes special care with our senior kitty. I love that she stays in communication with us while we're gone and has been really flexible. I know our cats are already looking forward to seeing her again.”


About: What sets me apart is the level of personal care and attention I give every pet I meet. I treat them like family, not just clients. I have experience with dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies needing basic training and consistency, to senior dogs who need patience, gentle handling, and special care. I’m comfortable administering medications, working with shy or nervous pets, and adapting to each dog's individual needs. Your pet’s happiness, safety, and comfort are always my top priorities. I’m a teacher on summer break, which means I have a very open and flexible schedule to dedicate to pet care. With more time at home and fewer daily commitments, I can give your pet the attention, playtime, and companionship they deserve throughout the day. Whether it's long walks, belly rubs, or just being there to keep them company, I’m able to fully focus on their needs during the summer months. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I stick closely to their usual routines for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest to help them feel at ease. I keep a clean, pet friendly environment and always prioritize safety, whether that's securing leashes, monitoring play, or giving them their own cozy space to relax. I also make sure to send regular updates and photos so you can feel connected and confident that your pet is happy while you’re away.

About: We feel blessed to serve your pet! My teenage daughter and I are a team and have taken care of many different types of dogs and cats (even cows and sheep). We love animals! Our neighbors, friends and family rely on us to drop in on their pets to feed, play and love on them while they are away. We appreciate your business and look forward to meeting your furry family member. ♥️ I work Monday through Friday during the day but am available for early mornings drop-ins and anytime after 3pm during the work week for a drop-in and play. Full flexibility on the weekends. I have experience with giving medication and injections. Our dog requires daily (am and pm doses) apoquel tablets and weekly allergy shots so we are familiar with allergies and giving injections as well. Whether you’re working late or out of town, we can stop by and give your pet some love and care. We will be happy to adapt to your routine and drop-in as requested for feedings, treats, medication, belly rubs and play. We can send you pictures, videos and updates as often as desired.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was about 12 years old, helping with friends and family and also my puppies that I have at home. I currently work part time and I’m also going to school in the fall to become a vet tech. I am available to help with your needs before 9 AM and after 7 PM on weekends and Tuesdays, and Thursdays. I am completely off on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays! I have had multiple dogs who I’ve had medical issues so that’s not a problem to me at all.

About: I love dogs and always have. I have always had pets. We had three dogs when I was growing up and they were so much fun. I love playing with them. The dogs I had growing up were my “best friends”. When I lived in va beach I used to dog sit and house sit 2-3 times a week. I will take care of your dogs as if they were my own. I will take them out for walks let them get some exercise and ensure that they have food and water. I have done overnight sitting as well as pop ins where I have just walked and fed them. I’m available any day of the week. I look forward to working with you and your fur babies.

About: As a professional dog trainer, I pride myself on being able to safely offer dogs opportunities they wouldn't get elsewhere. I am typically home all day everyday, but, when dogs are alone in the home they are kept safely crated in a monitored room. I can safely house reactive and aggressive dogs in the home and have experience handling such. For owners who are comfortable I also take dogs with me on local hiking trails often! Reach out and let’s talk dogs! Dogs and their care is my full time job! I am always doing something with or for a dog. Wether that’s training sessions, walks, hikes, or some form of enrichment, we are kept busy around here! Our home has a lovely backyard with a six-foot privacy fence, a splash pool for hot days, and lots of shade! I have a complete dog room set up in our sunroom. Dogs are allowed to be in our living spaces with us, but I do have my office and bedroom blocked off for my own doggies to take a break if needed.

About: I have an awesome job that has me working from 6am-2:30 off on weekends..so plenty of time for pups! I’m the type of person that will lay down in the floor, and love on the dogs and cats! I currently have just a big fluffy orange kitty of my own, but growing up, we had older dogs, and cats. One of our dogs had epilepsy..so i have experience taking care of all kinds of little babies! I recently moved in its my boyfriend in Crystal City, MO, and we constantly see people walking their dogs, and just getting lots of fresh air, and i want to meet them all!! Let me love on your babies! My job is very cool on hours, so I’m off work by 215, and i get home around 3, so it’s perfect time for most people still working, and their babies are inside, wanting freedom! I don’t work weekends, so I’m usually pretty free to make multiple potty break trips, and if needed, i can even stay overnight, on the weekends! Currently, i cannot board any animals in my home. We don’t have a fenced in yard, and my cat does not work well with other animals.
