“Very reliable and I could sense Niqo loved having a sitter. I swear when i returned he acted a little full of himself🙄😁. She did a great job sent me updates and pics and was very obliging with my short notice change of plans. Will definitely recommend and use again!”



“Leigh's care for our senior cat, Diesel, was truly remarkable! She is an absolute gem! During our vacation, she provided 7 days of outstanding care for our 18-year-old senior cat, Diesel. The level of communication was excellent! Leigh kept us updated multiple times a day about Diesel's well-being. Coming home to a spotless house after a long day of travel was the perfect ending to vacation. She went above and beyond in caring for Diesel and our home and exceeded all expectations. We are deeply grateful to have found Leigh; she's far more than a pet sitter to us—she's a remarkable human who provided the best care possible for Diesel.”


“James always does a good job. I don’t worry about my fur babies when we are away under his care. He is always prompt and receptive to special requests.”


“Kirsten stayed with our miniature poodle for a few hours. She communicates very well and cares about what our pet needs. We will be asking for her again when we need a sitter.”


About: I have worked at an animal hospital for 4+ years, taking care of patients and overnight boarders at our facility. I have experience with every type of dogs ranging across the board; from puppies to seniors; small dogs to big dogs; from friendly to reserved dogs. I’m experienced and comfortable giving any type of medication (pill, injection, etc.) and can give special care to dogs with special needs. There isn’t a mess that I haven’t had to clean, so I’m prepared to create a safe and healthy environment for any pet. I am also able bodied and can keep up with energetic dogs. I have a very flexible schedule and work part time at the moment, so I have plenty of time to devote to your pets. My work hours vary from week to week but no matter the hours, I’ll be able to provide consistent potty breaks and check ins. I genuinely care about the happiness and safety of all animals, and I’m prepared to provide such an environment. There’s not a mess that I can’t handle or that I haven’t cleaned in the past. I am very good at reading body language to know what the animal is thinking, feeling, and what they need in any given moment. I have experience giving animals medications and can follow special rules or intrusions for feeding, walking, or care.

About: I've been the go-to dogsitter for my friends and family for nearly a decade. Over time, they recommended me to others, and dog-sitting became something I'm passionate about. I've cared for dogs of every size from a pomeranian to a great dane. I have experience with puppies & potty training and caring for elderly dogs. It can be hard being away from your pets when away, as I've experienced with my own dog. I'll do everything I can to make you and your pets feel as happy and comfortable as possible. I'm always a text or phone call away and am more than willing to send updates throughout the day. Since I am a remote writer (and homebody), I can stay at your home and make sure your pets are being watched & cared for 24/7. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have! I look forward to meeting you and your pets! As a remote writer who would rather spend all day with dogs than anything, I'm free 24/7 , 7 days a week as long as I have some notice. Whatever your pet walking or feeding schedule may be, I'm happy to adapt to keep your pets routine. I prioritize your pet's safety and comfort while respecting your home. I will follow your specific instructions and keep your home secure. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos to keep you informed and at ease while you’re away.

“Kimberly was so good with our little cat! She was so kind and took great care of our home and fur baby! She even gave our cat who doesn’t isn’t good with medication her meds twice a day and sent us pics of our baby while we were on vacation! Will absolutely be booking with her again!”


“Abby was amazing! She provided so many updates and pictures. She is by far the best pet sitter I have had. Would definitely recommend her to anyone that wants someone who cares for your animals like they are her own!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for many years from family pets, neighbors dogs, dogs of friends, and living with my roommates dog for almost 3 years. I have always been hands-on and very engaging with all dogs I meet. I have learned many important skills involved in puppy training, differing pet routines and needs, positive reinforcement, and how to keep each and every dog comfortable and happy. I prioritize consistent care and reliability, so you can feel confident that your dog is in good hands. I currently have an internship with a very flexible schedule, so I will have plenty of time focused towards availability and care for your pets. If needed I will pursue another part-time job to provide me with a livable income, but I will continue to communicate changes in my schedule availability. Whether I am caring for pets in my home or in my client’s home, I focus on creating a calm, safe, and fun environment. I learn each pet’s routine include mealtimes, medications, walks, and any other needs the dog may need. I make sure each puppy is given the proper attention they need with positive interactions, any needed space, and I am very adaptable to each dog’s personality. I also prioritize cleanliness in every client’s home and use proper communication with clients to satisfy their needs along with their pets’ needs.

About: I’ve owned and taken care of pets for years! I would love to take the weight off of your shoulders and help you with you pets! I am currently at home full time so I have all the time to take care of your furry friends! Sunday through Saturday I’ve got you covered! I have an open yard and a walking trail very close by to take everyone on walks or runs and 2 furry friends of my own to keep company and play!

“Chad took great care of our pup (and our house) during our vacation. We have a high energy pup, and he gave her the attention she needs and provided us with daily updates. It's obvious he has a real love for dog. I would definitely call on him against the next time we need a sitter.”


“Betty was absolutely fabulous with our dog Lexi. From our initial meet and greet, Betty made both Lexi and I at ease and comfortable with our first pet sitting experience. We will definitely use her again! She is just wonderful!”


About: I have helped raise two dogs growing up, one cocker spaniel and one golden retriever. I have also somewhat raised cats. Unfortunately all the cats my family has gotten has been outside cats which always made me disappointed. I have pet sat before for both a cat and a medium dog. I love taking care of animals and becoming buddies with pets. Big dogs do slightly intimidate me so I would like to stick to smaller dogs. I am working part time in Hermann and I will have a good amount of time open now that school is over. I am in the Washington/union area but I can drive pretty much anywhere within 25 miles. I plan on moving to Columbia in the fall but I will be pet sitting all this summer to get some more money with my other job. I know that most pets are feisty but I am patient and caring for animals especially since this world can be cruel to them. I will care for your pets based on all the information you give me and if I have any questions I will ask. I also have many friends with animal experience who can help me out if needed. I won’t mistreat your home and will clean up after myself as well as keep it cleaned (I sometimes get a kick out of cleaning). I can keep your home and pets safe.

“Abigail was available on short notice, and did a great job with our two dogs. Thanks, Abigail!”


“Savannah was great! She stayed in touch before, during and after her stay. Cody was calm as could be when we got home so we know he was completely unstressed in our absence. Will definitely use Savannah again!!”


About: I grew up with dogs and cats. Had many of them since they were born. I have been around dogs and cats for probably around 15 years of my life. I am very experienced with animals and love them all. I would be honored if you choose me to care for your four-legged best friend! Right now I am available almost every day to care for your four-legged friends. I am a volleyball coach, so evenings are usually no good for me but right now I am available all day on days Monday through Fridays in the mornings! Also some weekends if I’m available! I live in a house with my family and we have 3 dogs and 2 cats. I would also love to take your animals on walks or out to explore nature.

About: Nothing really special other than the experience and the joy of taking care of dogs. When I say I’m a dog person I really do mean it! I have been taking care of dogs ever since my late teenage years. Even though this app helps to make it official. I can say that I’ve always managed to maintain an unofficial clientele to know they can always trust me. Giving into consideration that I do work a Monday through Friday full-time job and sometimes take up positions on the weekend. I have always been able to perform duties in the morning, if they’re close enough able to take care of them during lunch, and always heading straight to their home after work. I am also a competitive lifter but the dogs take a higher priority when I’m in service. If dogs are fenced, I will make sure they get their proper outside time. If the home is not fenced, I can always make sure the dog gets its proper exercise and outside time that they need through walking. I can even help out with other things around the house like make sure that recycle and trash get taken out. If laundry needs to be done I can also do that as well. I am always capable of providing my own food. Only the dog food need to be taken care of. This to let you know your home is always in good hands.

My work schedule can be flexible so I can adjust it to fit most pet needs so you can plan that vacation free from worry. I have a fenced in area and a designated space in my house I call the “pet room” . My house resembles someone who has a 2 yr old but instead of kid toys and beds it’s dog and cat toys.

Brandy also goes above and beyond by caring for our outside cats, even ensuring their comfort during winter when they stay inside.

Leighan G.
“When it comes to animals and just in general, Leighan is the most caring and affectionate person I have ever met. For as long as I’ve known her she has always put animals first. She is the type of person to stop in the middle of a road if there is a stray dog to see if it’s alright. Leighan would be the best choice to walk your dog. She would take care of your dog better than she takes care of herself.”
