Anthony had a great connection with the dogs and sent video updates at each interaction, which eased our minds. We’re already booked to use him again.

About: I’ve taken care of my own dogs since before I can remember and I watch my parents dogs on trips quite often. I also watch other friends dogs as well as I’ve done some overnight house sitting! I am a Registered Nurse at Big Tree and I have two dogs of my own but can stay overnight at your house if needed! I am available to watch overnight as well as during the weekend. I am willing to do medications as well as walks and play time! I usually can let the dogs out by 3-4 hours max!

About: I have worked in professional pet care for 4 years and have been watching neighbors dogs for the past 2 years. At doggy daycare I have worked with all sizes and ages of dogs and am comfortable with all of them. I am currently and student at The University of Missouri but am still able to come to your house to watch your pet. I can stay at your house during the week or weekend, my classes are during the middle of the day so they can go out plenty of times in the morning and night. I have three dogs at home that I am very used to taking care of as well as my cat. I can follow your pets schedule so there is no difference in your care and mine.

About: I’ve been a relied upon neighborhood pet sitter for dogs, cats, chickens, and reptiles for at least 12 years. Ive also fostered “bottle baby” kittens on and off for my local humane society for 3 years. I have learned how to read the body language of and understand the needs of many species of pets, and I understand the importance of listening to human direction while working with pets. I am currently between jobs and about to engage in a short term Americorps VISTA position out of state between June and August. I often pick up local volunteer shifts at the Central MO Humane Society and at Columbia Center for Urban Agriculture, however my schedule is very flexible. I am very experienced in working within clients’ homes, whether it has been for pet sitting, house cleaning, or even entering homes to provide social services. Every home and homeowner is unique, and I pride myself in my ability to leave spaces at least as wonderful as I find them.

About: I am a registered veterinary technician that is very passionate taking care of animals. I have 20 yrs of experience working in emergency and critical care, caring for dogs and cats that are very sick and need to be cared for. I am very comfortable caring for healthy dogs/cats or pets that need medications or special care. I work full time, but want to work around my schedule to make Rover work! I would not be able to bring your pet to my house due to I have a German shepherd that takes a while to warm up to. I can walk pets, do check ins, but will not be able to stay the night due to having a family. I am able to walk your pet wherever you prefer, let your dog outside and feed your pet, spend playtime with your pet. I am able and willing to medicate your pet as well or anything the pet requires, even if has special care requests.

Isabella did amazing with all my babies! Willow my Great Dane absolutely loves her. Gizmo my anxious little Yorkie is so calm with her and doesn't care that I'm gone when she's there. She also took care of my bouncy kitty Jazzy and kept her busy and out of trouble. I would absolutely hire her again in a heartbeat!

Morgan was so sweet with our pups! She came to meet them and us ahead of our trip so we could all feel confident in the situation. She sent lots of photos and made sure they had plenty of play time while we were away.

About: What sets me apart is my hands-on experience and genuine love for animals. I’ve had my rescue dog, Bear, for 8 years, so I understand the patience and consistency pets need to feel safe and loved. Whether it’s sticking to a special routine, giving meds, or just being a calm, comforting presence, I treat every animal like family. As a full-time student and part-time daycare worker, I have a structured but flexible schedule. I work three weekdays and have weekends free, which gives me time to focus on pet care, especially for weekend stays, walks, or check-ins. I’m used to managing routines (thanks to my daughter and my job!), so fitting in pet care is something I can do consistently and reliably. Whether in my home or yours, I make sure pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I follow their usual routines—meals, walks, playtime, and any special instructions—so they feel right at home. I give lots of affection, keep their space clean, and always prioritize their well-being. If I’m in your home, I treat it with respect and care, just like I do with your pet!

Michaela did a great job with our babies on her first sitting experience with us. We have a large dog and two cats, and she cared for them and seemed to sincerely like them while she was staying with us. We look forward to having her stay with our kitties and doggo again!

Keana was wonderful in caring for our pets while on vacation. We haven’t done this with an overnight sitter before so we were nervous but she came and met us and our animals which put us at ease with her way with the dogs and cat. While away she sent us videos daily and let us know how they were doing! She offered to stay later if there was a travel hang up too. The house was also spotless when we got home! I highly recommend her and will def use Keana again!

Breeonna was AMAZING with our boys while we were away! She kept me updated on how they were and not only took care of my boys but our home as well. I had absolutely no stress while we were away knowing my boys were getting all the cuddles and attention they're used to getting daily. When we got home, my boys were incredibly happy and healthy and our home was in tip top shape. Breeonna even went above and beyond washing all bedding, towels, took out the trash, and even did all the dishes. She left the place in incredible condition and I couldn't appreciate her more. I will absolutely be using her in the future.

About: Providing quality care is very important to me. I have Veterinary experience and I am trained/ certified in Pet First Aid, CPR, Medication Administration (oral, topical, and injections), Providing Sub-Q / IV fluids, and I specialize in medical needs animals, and reactive or aggressive animals. I have had pets my entire life and I’ve cared for all different types of animals. Dogs, cats, snakes, ferrets, rats, guinea pigs, other small animals, horses, and even a Patagonian Mara! I do not have any restrictions on pets I can’t care for. I worked as a dog groomer so I have experience with bathing and grooming and would be happy to provide grooming services for an additional cost. I try to always be available in times of need. Whether that be an emergency, late night visit, or a last minute booking. This is one reason I accept bookings 24/7 unless we are traveling. I do pet sitting full time. You need an overnight visit for a pet with medical needs? No problem! You have a puppy who needs to go out in the middle of the night? You got it! Whatever your needs may be, I promise that I am willing to work with you the best I can! I will always make your pets safety a priority when they are in my care. Any instructions given will be carefully read and followed. Pictures can be sent, updates given, and lots of pets of course. Treats too if given permission first!
