Pet Sitting Fountain N' Lakes

About: I’m a caring, responsible, and dependable pet lover who understands that pets are more than just animals, they’re family. I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your furry family members in someone else’s care, and I strive to make every pet feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting tailored to each pet’s individual personality, routine, and needs. Visits can include neighborhood walks, playtime, feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, cuddles, companionship, and enrichment. Whether your dog has energy to burn, your cat enjoys some quiet company, or your pet simply needs someone to keep them company, I’m happy to make their time with me enjoyable. I believe the best pet care starts with getting to know the individual pet. Every animal has their own personality, habits, comfort level, and favorite things. Some pets are immediately excited to make a new friend, while others need a little patience before they feel comfortable. I’m happy to meet them where they are and give them the attention they need. I’ll follow your instructions carefully and do my best to keep their normal routine consistent. One of the biggest advantages I can offer is flexibility. I currently have an open schedule, allowing me to dedicate substantial time and attention to the pets in my care. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting and can often accommodate different schedules and routines. Rather than rushing through a visit, I enjoy taking the time to interact with pets, give them exercise and enrichment, and make sure they’re comfortable before I leave. I also understand that good communication is an important part of pet care. I’ll pay attention to your pet’s behavior and needs, follow any special instructions you provide, and keep you informed during visits. I want you to be able to enjoy your time away knowing that your pet is getting individual attention and care. Most of all, I genuinely enjoy being around animals. Getting to know their personalities, earning their trust, taking them on walks, playing with them, or simply sitting beside them is something I find rewarding. My goal is for every pet to look forward to seeing me and for every owner to feel confident that their pet is in caring hands. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pets and become someone you can count on whenever they need a little extra attention, exercise, companionship, or love. I currently do not work, which gives me plenty of time to care for pets. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, or sitting anytime you need. I’m happy to work with your pet’s usual routine and make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. I always prioritize your pet’s with safety, comfort, and will follow their normal routines, feeding instructions, and house rules. I can also crate your dog, keep pets separated, provide medication, etc. when needed.

“Julie is amazing! As a first time user of this service I can not say enough great things about Julie and how she has put my worries at ease. Great communication with every visit, pictures of my pet, detailed note and genuinely cares about my baby / her well being.”

About: I've had multiple pets all my life and strive to make their day as better as their last. I have a true strong passion for animals. I will be providing dog walking, house sitting and drop ins for dogs and cats. I have lots of experience with both, from taking care of my own pets to watching others in the past. I work, but am very flexible with my hours and open to most days and times. I'm outgoing so would be able to play and be active with pets that need to burn energy and like to have fun. I'm open to taking pets to a park or on trails to go on adventures. I'm very responsible and respectful. I'd treat every furbaby like they were one of my own. I'm comfortable with multiple pets all shapes and sizes. I'm great at following instructions if they needed certain feeding details and or also medication. I'm excited and hoping to work with alot of wonderful people and their animals. It's everyday. I feel better about myself knowing I've been able to help others and their pets have the best day that's possible for them. I treat my pets like my children. I'm a upstanding respectful young man who would be professional and caring the entire interaction with peoples home and their pets.

About: I’ve taken care of my 2 cats and dog for many years. I have grown up with puppies and dogs and have dog sitted my sisters huskey every so often. I am very passionate about making the dogs happy and content! I am currently working part time hours so I can make myself available as much as possible. My pets are not friendly with outside dog or cats. So, I will have to sit at clients houses for the most part if available.

About: Hello! My name is Kate and I have been caring for animals for 20+ years, or as long as I can remember! My family has always referred to me as the "dog whisperer" due to my natural connection to them. I have experience with every age group, from young pups to our dear senior citizens. Friends and family have always trusted me to watch their furry friends while they're away, walk them, feed them, bathe them, or give them medication. I look forward to helping to care for your family member, and making sure they have the best experience possible. I am available 7 days a week and my schedule is flexible! Let me know what works best for you, and I can work around yours and your animals needs. I am extremely attentive to the needs of your animal and will always make sure that they receive whatever level care or attention that they will need.

About: I’ve not gone most of my life without pets in my life and I understand how much they mean to us. I have had plenty of friends and family rely on me to take care of their pets while they are out, so I’ve been able to deal with pups of most ages! I am home from college this summer and am looking for something to fill my free time! I have a very open and flexible schedule during the weekend and weekdays as of right now, so taking care of any pets shouldn’t be a problem as I am only a part time employee! I have a very energetic dog myself so I know what is needed to keep him entertained. I can crate your dog if needed/ when specified. For my dog, I make sure he takes his medications on time and I can do the same for any other pups. I make sure all meals are given out on time and treats given wisely but generously if allowed.

About: Hi, I’m Mollie! I am a lifelong animal and nature lover, and I can’t wait to meet your fur babies. My goal is to give your pets the exercise, care, and attention they need while giving you the security of knowing your pets are safe and cared for. I have had and cared for many different dogs in my life, including high energy, senior, and anxious dogs. I’d love to meet you and your pets! I am not currently in school or going back anytime soon. I work full time but have time everyday in between my shifts working at a daycare, and afterwards, including some weekends. I would love to take care of your pets anytime I can! I have a fenced in backyard, bowls for food and water, leashes, and a whole lot of love and attention to give to your animals! I will use anything needed and/or provided as well! It is also my top priority to make sure what you and your pets need is always taken care of. I have 1 very friendly and energetic dog who loves to play!

About: What sets me apart as a dog sitter is my experience and genuine love for dogs. I’ve had dogs for the past 12 years, so I’m very comfortable caring for dogs of all ages, personalities, and energy levels. I’m patient, responsible, and attentive to each dog’s individual needs, whether that means keeping up with a puppy’s energy, giving an older dog extra care and attention, or simply making sure a dog feels comfortable and loved while their owner is away. I’m happy to handle feeding, walks, playtime, and any special routines or instructions to make sure every dog is well cared for. I currently work part time so I will always be able to make time for your furry friend! Check-ins will most likely be in the mornings or early afternoons. Whatever works for each pup I have a fenced in back yard that allows your pup to run around and play. My old man, Milo will be able to keep good company as well!

“Kayla was wonderful and took great care of our two girls. We were pretty apprehensive about leaving them since one was a 5-month old puppy with an overabundance of energy. Kayla showed them lots of TLC and kept them happy. Even now that we are home, they keep looking at the front door like they are waiting for her to come over and play. She reported on them to us regularly which greatly reduced OUR stress and anxiety.”

About: Hello everyone! I’ve been a pet sitter for as long as I can remember — starting with family friends, then growing through referrals, and even including my college dean. In high school I volunteered regularly at 5 Acres Animal Shelter, where I cared for cats in the Kitty Cottage and helped socialize dogs by taking them on outings and to special events. Fun fact: my college dean and their wife found one of my pet-sitting ads, and I spent four years as their in-home dog sitter! Between my boyfriend and I we have two cats and a dog. Let's just say they are spoiled rotten! I am a full time engineer at local company. For in house pet sitting, if your pet cannot go up to 8 hours being home alone on the week days we may not be a good fit! But on the weekends I can assure you that they will not be left alone longer than 3 hours. I do require a written out schedule and or pet habits (such as when they get fed, when they usually go outside, how many walks a day, how often to scoop litter, where supplies are) to ensure we have crystal clear directions! That way I can clarify anything before you leave! Please message me and we can discuss your pet's schedule! I do not provide pet sitting in my home due to I have pets of my own. I can assure you that in your home your fur baby will be well loved and cared for. As I have years of in home pet sitting I can assure you that your home will be cleaner than you left it, you will have an ample of fur baby pictures I have sent to your phone and most importantly a stress-free happy fur baby. Please message me with any questions!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs my entire life, I have had dogs of all sizes, personalities and traits! I will love your pets like my own. I look forward to meeting you and your pups! I currently work full time but I can be flexible with when I am needed! I will make your pup(s) my #1 priority while you are away! I can crate your dogs, work with or without a fence and I also love to play outdoors with the dogs I am watching as well, if appropriate/applicable. I also love snuggle time too (even if I have to be on the floor)!

About: I have been dog sitting since I was in high school. I just recently lost my pup this month and he was the best dog. We would take him on long walks and love on him all day! We recently just adopted a dog that came from a hoarding situation and have been working with a trainer on socializing her. I love hanging out with dogs, playing with them, and walking them! I go to Mizzou and I come home on the weekends. I will be available Friday-Sundays and Mondays if needed. I don't have a job so I am available to come at any time you need! Every pet is unique, and I take the time to get to know your pets' individual personalities, preferences, and needs. This allows me to tailor my care to ensure they feel comfortable and content while you're away. I understand the importance of maintaining your pets' regular routines. Whether it's meal times, exercise routines, or playtime activities, I follow your instructions closely to minimize disruption to their daily lives. Physical activity and mental stimulation are crucial for pets' overall well-being. I engage in interactive play, walks, or other activities to keep your pets active and happy. I understand how important it is for you to stay connected with your pets while you're away. I provide regular updates, including photos and messages, to keep you informed about your pets' activities and well-being. I treat your pets as my own!

“Barbara did a great job taking care of my boys (cats) while I was away. She showed up as scheduled and took care of feeding and cleaning the litter boxes. I got photos each day which was fun to see and a video one day as well. Nice to know that they were well taken care of!!!”

“Latasha looked after our kitty (Lazare) and house for a week in July. She was very professional and courteous. She took the time to write down instructions on our meet and greet. Lazare loved her! I appreciated her communication and photos and she also took good care of the house and plants. I wholeheartedly recommend Latasha.”

“Diane is wonderful! We booked her for multiple drop-ins for our two pups and she was extremely communicative and professional. She sent great pictures from her visits and it was reassuring to see our pups getting so much love and attention! Absolutely would rebook with her again in future. Thank you, Diane!”

About: Hi! I’m Gaby, a full-time professional pet sitter and lifelong animal lover. Caring for animals isn’t a side job for me, it’s full time job and passion! One of the biggest benefits of booking with me is that I do this full-time, which means your pets receive far more attention, companionship, and supervision than they would with sitters who work traditional 9–5 jobs or are in and out all day. Your pets won’t be left alone for long stretches of the day, and their comfort, safety, and routine will always be my top priority. I have professional experience working in daycare and boarding environments, including Kennelwood Animal Resort and Y Bark Alone. Through that experience, I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, breeds, temperaments, and energy levels. I’m comfortable administering medications (both oral and injections), handling puppies, seniors, and special-needs pets, and recognizing signs that a pet may be stressed, anxious, or unwell. When I watch your babies, they aren’t just another booking. I take the time to learn their routine, personality, favorite activities, and any special instructions so they can feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having someone nearby, I’ll make sure they receive the individualized care they deserve. You’ll receive tons of pupdates, photos, and messages so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is happy, safe, and in caring hands. My goal is to become the sitter you can rely on whenever you need help, a trusted person who treats your pets like family and provides the same love, patience, and attention I’d want for my own! I look forward to meeting you and your furbabies!🐶🐾 Rover is my full time job at the moment so my schedule is very open to give your pet the proper time and attention they deserve. How I care for your fur baby is completely contingent on the owner. I follow all guidelines they have set in place whatever those may be. But you can trust they are always in the best of hands.
