Sarah was really friendly to meet and great at communicating when we were away. She sent us pictures of the pets. We felt good that someone was dropping by the house while we were gone. Additionally, we loved that our dogs were getting worn out so they didn't focus their energies on the couch! I will most definitely be contacting Sarah again when we travel.

Amanda is very sweet. She follows directions, is responsive to messages and very flexible. She walked my Golden Retriever and Labrador six days in a row and they loved her. We’ll definitely book with her again.

About: I've had all sorts of pets growing up. I do have medical training and can handle difficult situations. I currently have two dogs that are rescues and a cat that was abandoned at one day old that I hand raised. My younger dog has an autoimmune disease so I am well practiced on giving medications. Thank you. I can schedule my own hours at my job so I'm pretty flexible on when I can be available. I am available weekends usually with no problems. I am unable to bring animals to my home due to renting. I am able to house sit or walk dogs only at this time.

About: I've grown up with dogs and cats for almost my whole life, and I've loved the uniqueness of every single one. Whether you have a high energy puppy or kitten hat needs an energetic outlet during the day so they can sleep at night, or an older animal that just needs a companion and a slow stroll, I have you covered. In addition, I have experience providing medications to dogs and cats alike. Whatever their needs are, your fur babies will be treated and loved on like my own! I just finished my first year of dental hygiene school and am on my summer break. Instead of working a set schedule this summer, I am helping my boyfriend with his new home renovations, so I'll have a lot of free time to dedicate. I'm flexible and willing to help meet the needs of my clients! When watching or walking your pets, I prioritize consistency, routine, and a sense of caring compassion. I assure only the best for your babies! I'm happy to provide photo updates as well if you like to stay in the loop. I'm here to help, let me know if you have any special instructions or routines and I'm here to accommodate!

About: Aside from owning my own pets my entire life, I have been pet sitting for over 15 years. I spent 3 years as a professional pet trainer and have since helped numerous people with puppy training, basic obedience training, and solutions for unwanted behavior as well as dog walking for exercise. Dogs are my passion, but I love every animal and am willing to care for any pet! Currently, I work part time (in Joplin). As a retired homeschool mom whose kids are now adults, I am available weekdays as well as weekends to care for your furry family members! I live by the idea of treating client's homes and pets as my own. Upon meet and greet, I will acquire specific details from you on how to care for your pets the way that you do. My goal is to befriend your pets for stress free care for both you and your pet as leaving home can be very stressful for your pet.

About: Hi, my name is Bri! I just moved here a few months ago from California. I grew up around all kinds of animals, mainly dogs. I've always had a soft spot for dogs. I used to walk neighborhood dogs and go to animal shelters just to walk them and play with all the animals when I was younger. I am a dog mom myself to  a three-year-old Border Collie Lab Mix. And just recently I got a GSP puppy as many of us know is full of energy! I understand how difficult it is to trust your pet with a stranger, but you have my promise that I will treat your dog as if he or she were my own, and that all of their needs will be met! My dog isn't easy to handle, therefore I'm always up for a challenge! My dog, Mya, has food sensitivities and is quite shy, so I'm used to dealing with these kind of situations and will do my best to assist your dog! I am currently a full-time college student, but now that majority of my courses are online I have a lot of time to play with your pups! I am free on weekdays and weekends at any time! I have a fenced backyard at my house and a crate if needed! I normally take my dog to dog parks to play with other dogs or nature trails.

About: I try hard to keep the dogs and safe, comfortable and happy. I can usually tell when they need something. And try to comfort them if they miss their owner. I'm currently retired and could use extra income as well as an activity to get away from the house. I like dogs and this seems like a good fit. Our poodle, Coco, spends most of her time inside. But, I take her for walks at least twice a day. She has her own sweater and jacket for times that the weather is cold. She has regular grooming and toenail clipping.
