Cat Sitting in Freeburg

“Ashley was great! She gave the friendly cat lots of attention, and she made an incredible effort to keep track of the one that wouldn’t come out. Her updates and pictures made me feel comfortable being away from my cats. I really appreciated the care she gave to them.”

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!

“Jennifer was very good with my 2 very shy cats. She figured out calling them didn't work. Instead, she would sit quietly and let their curiosity get the better of them. She sent me pictures every day--so nice to see. Plan to make her our regular pet sitter!”

“Megan kept our cat, Stephen, happy and well fed. She dropped in every day to check on him and give him attention. Everything was in great shape when we returned and Stephen was not distressed that we were out of town for several days. I would definitely hire Megan if we are away from home again.”

“Sydney was great! She stopped in to check on them, let them out and even cleaned their muddy feet. I didnt have to worry about them being cared for! Highly recommend 😊”

About: Growing up, I was a part of a program called Human Animal Bonding in Colorado, where I was taught how to connect top dogs emotionally, socially and verbally and use those skills to apply to real life situations, breaking me out of my social, insecure, neurodivergent shell. I've grown up with six big terriers, so I know my way around big, cuddly, dogs. My best friend is a German Shepherd named Ziva. I currently work part-time shifts that can go from 7-2 (Tues), or 7 - 11 (Wed), or 7-4 (weekends). I wish to pursue my dog-loving passions and possibly turn it into a career, alongside with my first responder training, and I hope starting Rover will do that. I take care of big dogs, numerous cats, and six other types of animals at home, so I can't have other animals at home due to the unfamiliarity. I am looking for extra activities, ones that consists outside of work and home because that's all where I am ever at these days. I just moved to Missouri, and I hope to find show the love I have for animals to places beyond my home. I have all kinds of necessary dog/cat accommodations. I have crates if needed, toys, extra food, leashes, etc. In my home, I have two big dogs who are trained to stay on 30 acres of property, they co-exist with barn cats and other various animals. Because of the other critters on the land, I do have to let them outside every time I leave the house. I had a dog that received special medical treatment every day and had to be watched regularly as he grew mean and tiredsome due to his deteriorating health. Fortunately, he is in a better place, but it shows that I can manage and care for dogs all of different behaviors and necessities and if I can use some of that stuff for other dogs, I've love to.

About: I have had pets my entire life, primarily cats as well as a few dogs. I currently have a dog and cat, so taking care of either is second nature. I have also had two cats at one time and understand the nature of multi-cat households. I have pet sat many times for friends and family. These include homes with multiple dogs, multiple cats, a mix, and even a snake. Reptiles and rodents don't bother me! These experiences have also included long-term stay (1 week+) and animals with additional care needs (senior, daily eye drops, diabetic with necessary insulin injections at meals). I am currently in vet tech school so I know what to look for to keep your pets safe! I also have experience volunteering in shelters with many animals of different temperaments. I am currently not working and doing school online! This allows me to have a very flexible schedule so I am able to accept same day requests! I live with my partner so he is able to care for our pets while I am away. Because I have pets of my own, I don't currently accept jobs that would require me to keep them in my home. As such, I am more than happy to stay with your pets the entire time you are away (unless we discuss any time I may have preplanned events). I would stay the night with them if you are gone overnight so we don't have any accidents or stress! I would do my best to uphold any schedule you already have in place (ie feeding, walks, medicine, bedtime).

About: Hello there! I am a lifelong animal love with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all shapes, breeds, sizes and personalities. Whether its energetic puppies, timid rescues, or senior dogs needing a slower pace, I take pride in providing care that is catered towards your dog's specific needs. I have grown up around dogs ranging from smaller dogs like Yorkies and Pomeranians, to larger dogs like Golden Retrievers and Huskys. I also understand the importance of building trust with animals and their owners included. I treat every pet like family! Whether it's a walk around the block or overnight sitting, I make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved. I stick to your routine, provide regular updates, and always go the extra mile. These are your furbabies and I intend to treat them as such. I am currently not working and have plenty of time to dedicate to caring for your fur babies. I am a good communicator and can keep in close contact with you as well. I am not offering pet services out of my home at this time. However I am more than happy to come to you to give your pets the care they need.

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was little! I grew up on a farm & then during college I worked for a dog training facility & cared for many dogs there as well! 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!

“Caitlin was wonderful! She came by to meet our 5 cats the same day that she agreed to the booking and was so patient and receptive to each of our animals needs. She took time with them and gave them space to let them come to her and we were pleasantly surprised at how friendly everyone was with her and how comfortable they seemed around her. During the visit she sent pictures and went above and beyond the care instructions, washing the dishes used for their meals, replacing our tissues, and leaving the house better than when we left. She communicated throughout the entire process and made us feel safe in leaving our felines and our home in her hands.”
