Pet Sitting in Fortuna

“Mark is outstanding. As the owner of four golden doodles under the age of three, I was impressed by his punctuality, professionalism, and thorough questioning during our initial meeting. Mark's trustworthiness and genuine affection for animals, rather than mere financial interest, are evident. He quickly gained the trust of my puppies. I will be relying on his services for all future pet-sitting and boarding needs.”

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 grew up on a farm with 16 horses, cows, dogs, and cats, which gave me solid experience in animal care. I also travel, camp, and hike with my cat, Pumpkin, which has helped me learn to manage various pet needs while on the move. My background includes experience with horses, dogs, and cats, as well as training and handling. I’m skilled in caring for both active and senior pets, providing personalized attention. My adaptability and travel experience make me a reliable choice for pets needing a caring and flexible sitter. I am currently working a remote job that I can log in at any time, so I can make my schedule around and pause for any pet care! I am across the road from an open field we can walk to or around Monroe's less busy roads. Pumpkin has his own bedroom he can go to that he is safe in and I have an additional open room if needed, along with the rest of the house. In client's homes, I can be there as long as needed and stay as close to their normal routine as possible.

“Jennifer was awesome taking care of our two 12 week labs so we could get a day of Christmas shopping in and not worri about them. Excellent communication.”

“Hallye was incredible! I received photo updates each visit and her communication with me was excellent. I highly recommend her!”

“Kelli took good care of my cat while I was on vacation. My cat is skittish and not social so can’t be brushed or petted except by me. Kelli did everything I asked of her. She cleaned up after him, gave him fresh water and his medication. She even looked for him when he was hiding and sent me pictures. I would definitely book with Rover again! Thank you so much, Kelli! 🤩”

About: I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I currently have a dog named Rocko who is more like a daughter than a pet to me. I also have 2 adorable cats, one is 22 years old and the other is 5. I have always had passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets throughout my entire life. I have had dogs of all different breeds and sizes from an Australian husky mix to laber doodles. I also believe a healthy pup is an active pup so I would love to take yours out on a walk. Side note: I also offer grooming during house stays for an additional fee! I’m currently available anytime to look after your fury family while you’re away! Or if you just need a reliable animal lover to take your dog on a walk. A walk a day keeps the vet away! When watching your fur baby I will send you updates and pictures of how they’re doing, and fill you in on any activities we did together. I’ll also follow any guidelines left for me by the owner. If they’re staying at my house they will have to be leashed when outside. When inside they are free to explore and play and I can also crate them if needed.

About: During my time pet sitting, I have cared for a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, and small pets. My responsibilities have included feeding, providing fresh water, administering medications when needed, and ensuring they receive plenty of attention and exercise. One memorable experience was caring for a senior Border Collie who required daily medication and gentle walks. I followed the owner’s instructions carefully, ensuring the dog was comfortable and sticking to their routine. I also kept the owner updated with daily photos and messages. Additionally, I have experience handling energetic pets that require extra playtime and patience. Whether it’s taking dogs on long walks, engaging in interactive play with cats, or simply providing companionship, I ensure that pets feel safe and happy while their owners are away. I’m currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time and flexibility. I try to work around my clients schedule to the best of my ability! When it comes to pet sitting, safety, trust, and a comfortable environment are my top priorities. I ensure that every pet is cared for in a secure and familiar setting, following their routine to minimize stress. Trust is key—I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing attentive care, regular updates, and open communication with owners. I also create a positive environment by giving pets plenty of affection, exercise, and mental stimulation, ensuring they feel happy and at ease while their owners are away. With me, your pet is in safe, loving hands.

About: I grew up on a farm where our pets were always family members and treated with love and respect. I have two rescue dogs myself. I am happy to keep my dogs separated from clients. I am fortunate that my parents have a farm and welcome their grand pups in case of overlaps in sittings. My girls do great with most other pets, however I understand every animal has their own personality and comfort zone. I respect and do things on the owner and the pet’s terms. I strive to provide an experience where you feel you are leaving your loved ones with people who care as much as you. I worked the corporate world since college and decided I would take a break and enjoy a summer with my own fur babies. I have always been the go-to dog sitter for close friends and family. I quickly received more requests by word of mouth with my flexible schedule this summer. I am currently working on starting my own company for pet products making my schedule open and flexible! I live in Boonville, MO. I attend regularly conservation areas, dog parks, and my parents wooded farm outside of Glasgow, MO. My home is an apartment. I have an outdoor deck with stairs that access a private fenced in area that is pet safe. My home is equipped with a dog door for my own pups to use at their leisure along with security cameras. Plus I am only a block from Katy Trail access!

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.
