Pet Sitting Gladstone

“Ryan was great with our very energetic five month old German Shorthair Pointer. He spent lots of time outside with him and sent lots of pictures. He was flexible with adjusting timing when our plans changed slightly.”

About: I've been caring for dogs since 2013, when I welcomed my first dog, a Jack Russell Terrier. My experience comes from years of caring for my own dogs and sharing everyday life with them. I now have Cooper, a mixed breed dog who joined our family in August 2025. My experience also includes volunteering for dog walking field trips with St. Hubert's. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone, and I look forward to learning your pet's routine, preferences, and personality so they feel comfortable in my care. I'm usually home Monday through Sunday, so I can offer care on weekdays and weekends. Boarding and day care fit into my home routine, and I can arrange drop-in visits around each pet's needs and my existing bookings. I'll confirm the schedule with you before booking and keep my calendar updated for travel or other changes. I welcome dogs of all ages up to 80 pounds. My current home is a small house on a spacious, unfenced property, so guest dogs will be supervised and kept on leash outdoors, away from our eight free ranging chickens. Cooper, our 53 pound mixed breed dog, is friendly with other dogs and has his own crate. I'll arrange a meet and greet, supervise introductions, and discuss compatibility and any separation needs before accepting a stay. Two children, ages 8 and 11, are with us every other weekend. When they are present during a booking, I will personally supervise them and their interactions with guest dogs. Children and guest dogs will never be left alone together. Please share how your dog behaves around children, other dogs, and birds. For drop-in visits in your home, I'll follow your care instructions and your dog's usual routine, and agree on updates and emergency contacts before the booking.

About: I have experience with both younger dogs and elderly dogs. I have specifically worked with senior dogs, who required special care getting around, keeping track of their medication schedule, and their diets. I'm currently working part time and remotely, so I'll have a lot of time to spend with your dogs. I also enjoy taking walks, so I'll make sure your dogs are getting the outside time they need! I have a large fenced in yard at my home, along with plenty of dog toys. I can also crate your dog if needed. There are also a few trails nearby which are easy and engaging for dogs to walk through.

“Mike immediately was one of Freddy’s favorite humans. He had a natural positive energy when he met Freddy for the first time and it’s still like that. He’s communicative and shows up on time. It’s great to have someone reliable to take care of our furry family member while we’re working.”

“Maryanne was absolutely wonderful with our very shy cat! She was able to coax him out of hiding and actually create a friend! He played with her, followed her around and purred! He has never done that with someone new. It meant so much to us to know that he was well taken care of and happy! I highly recommend her.”

“A delight! So thankful Sarah was able to check in on such short notice. Arrived on time, got a cute pic thus making my cat a happy boy! Thank you so much!”

About: I have worked at the pet shop in town for almost 5 years. I have learned a lot about nutrition and am here to help with that as well. I have always loved dogs & animals. I have 3 dogs now and use to have cats growing up. I have always helped family/ friends with their pets. My cousins would call me “ the dog whisperer” I am very patient and understanding- a dog sometimes is anxious just like us humans. I think taking time out of the day and using interactive toys is so important for stimulation and keeping them busy. I usually am off on sunday & wednesday. I typically work in the morning until 3pm. Can do walks/feed them/ check in’s on the dogs after work. I have lots of grass outside & a gate inside.I would play with them outside, make sure they have a harness and a longer line ( so they are safe)& take them for walks. I can brush the dogs as well. I do prefer to stop at the clients house. I have 2 dogs at my house - it can be a lot. In the clients house I would first make sure the dog goes outside to the bathroom upon arrival. I would take them for a walk, play with the dogs outside( depending on the gate situation) Make sure they have lots of water, food & i can brush them.

About: Growing up on a farm, I developed a special bond with animals. I was always surrounded by furry friends, learning to care for them. I have a unique connection with cats and dog. They have always been my loyal companions and playful buddies. I can sense when something’s off with an animal and respond with care. Friends and family call me an animal whisperer. I can’t wait to meet your cats and dogs, love them, and treat them like my own! 💝 ****Unfortunately I do not offer 24/7 care**** I’m currently in between jobs so I have plenty of time to love and care for your pets. Even when I am employed, I always make it a priority to take care of your pets. This isn’t just a side job for me, this is my passion. However I DO NOT offer 24/7 care as I have pets of my own to care for. For your home, my goal is safety and peace of mind for you. I will make sure gates are secured, leashes are buckled and doors are closed to prevent any sort of escapes.

“Emily was absolutely amazing. We had a very unusual situation where we lost power the night before leaving for vacation, which meant we could not leave Tucker at home as planned. Emily was incredibly understanding and stayed available in case the power came back on and we were able to leave. When the power was finally restored, she refunded us for the days she did not need to come, even though she did not have to. We had specifically asked her to remain available during that time, so we truly appreciated her honesty, flexibility, and understanding. Once we were able to leave for our vacation, Emily was wonderful with Tucker. She took him on really nice, long walks, communicated with us consistently, and did everything she could to accommodate our situation. You can often tell what someone is really like when nobody is around. We have cameras inside our home, and while I was not sitting there watching every moment, I would occasionally check in to make sure everything was going well. Every time I checked, Emily was incredibly sweet, patient, and attentive with Tucker. You can absolutely tell that Emily is a true dog person. She treats the dogs she watches like they are her own, and that gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We would not hesitate to book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone dependable, honest, caring, and genuinely great with dogs.”

“5/5 — Another fantastic experience with Yana! Yana once again went above and beyond. She was 100% responsible, sent complete visit summaries, and shared plenty of photos, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. She cared for our dogs as if they were her own—lots of love, attention, and care for every detail. Our girls absolutely adore her! We trust Yana completely and couldn’t recommend her more highly!”

About: Compassionate pet-lover experienced with dogs and cats. Having pets all my life I enjoy providing care, exercise, feeding, and dependable attention while owners are away. I work from home part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. As a parent, I'm organized, dependable, and experienced managing daily routines, making it easy to provide pets with the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. I care for pets by following their normal routine as closely as possible so they feel safe and comfortable in their own home. I provide fresh food and water, walks or playtime, litter box or waste cleanup, medication if needed, and plenty of affection and companionship. I also keep the home tidy, respect my clients' property, and provide regular updates with photos so pet owners have peace of mind while they're away.

“Alexis provided daily updates and was very communicative throughout the whole booking. Jellybean was happy and healthy and enjoyed her time with Alexis while we were away!”

About: Over the past 5+ years, I’ve cared for the pets of friends and family, not as a business, but as a way to support them during vacations, work trips, or emergencies. It’s something I’ve always done out of love and a genuine desire to help. My wife also grew up having different pets, including cats, dogs, and other small animals. Together, we share a strong bond with animals and a commitment to provide them with comfort, safety, and affection. I work 100% from home, which allows me to provide consistent attention and care to the pets I look after. Your dog will enjoy plenty of companionship, playtime, and bathroom breaks throughout the day. They’ll never feel alone or ignored. We live in a comfortable, pet-friendly townhouse where your pet will be treated like family. Pets are welcome on the furniture and free to roam throughout the house. There are no restrictions on movement inside, so they can relax and settle in wherever they feel most comfortable. While we don’t have a backyard, we make sure dogs get regular outdoor time with safe, on-leash walks around our quiet, secure complex and the surrounding neighborhood. We never allow pets off-leash while outside, under any circumstances, to ensure their safety at all times.

“Jennifer is very patient. We have a dog who is fearful and Jennifer was able to get him on walks. Our dog even ate all his food. It is very helpful to have Jennifer because of my dog being anxious. There aren’t many ppl can work with him and that he allows to get close to him. The good news is that our pup is being helped by UPenn’s team. He should be feeling better soon 🐾🐾🐾❤️❤️❤️”

About: I’ve taken care of both cats and dogs my entire life. Throughout my childhood, I was in charge of family pet care, handling up to 5 dogs at any given time. During my teenage years, my first and most consistent job was pet sitting for local families. As an adult, I had my own dog for twelve years. During her elder years, she had to undergo multiple surgeries and needed frequent help with tasks such as maneuvering stairs, using the bathroom, and eventually, walking in general, so I have experience helping pets who are injured or sick. I am experienced in administering oral medications, strict or complicated diets, and unique care requirements. I understand how precious and important pets are and I am equipped to give them the best care possible. I am an artist who runs her own business. Because of this, I set my own hours and have a wide range of schedule availability. This means that instead of you having to work around your pet-sitter’s schedule, I can work with your regular routines for your pets! Aside from quick potty breaks, I will not walk dogs after dark, simply for safety, but I am otherwise open to whatever routines your pets already follow! I understand that every family has different needs when it comes to pet care. Your pets are trained to follow your routine, and their stress level will be significantly lower if they’re able to keep to that routine even when you aren’t home. I am able to work with those routines, walking dogs the same time of day they’re used to, making sure pets get fed the same times even when you’re out of town or away at work, and following any specific instructions that are unique to your pet.

About: I've cared for dogs my entire life and understand how much they mean as family members. Growing up, I had a Cocker Spaniel named Wizard and a Chow Chow named Ebonie, and most recently I cared for my senior dog, Joe Joe, until he sadly passed away from lymphoma at 10 years old. That experience taught me patience, attentiveness, and the importance of keeping pets comfortable and happy. While I'm not ready for a new pet of my own, I still have lots of love and care to give. I would love the opportunity to help other pet owners by providing reliable, compassionate, and affordable care for their furry family members. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. I work full time but would be the option to call on for late night check-ins and walks. My weekends are also very flexible so dont hesitate to reach out! My goal is to ensure the pets I care for are comfortable, and be attentive to their behaviors and needs. Also, I opt for safety rather than friendliness. Not every dog is friendly or wants to interact

About: I’ve grown up with Beagles and work well with all breeds and ages. I strongly believe that every dog deserves a day out on the town (or maybe just a walk around it). I’m free most weekends and various times during the day. I can do early mornings or late nights, happy to spend time with any dog throughout the day. I knock and ring the doorbell always first, just so the dogs know I’m coming (if they don’t already), walk in, greet everyone and wish the dogs a good morning, feed and water them, then let them have their breakfast and take them on a walk afterwards, always making sure to clean up after them when I first get there and definitely before I leave.

“Samantha was healthy and happy to see me when I returned. Couldn't ask for more.”
