Cat Sitting Glencoe

“Paige took great care of Oreo! She was happy and healthy when I came home, and I got pictures while I was gone. Paige was great at communicating and asking questions when needed. Definitely recommend!”

“She did amazing with our kitty who needed a pill administered while we went out for the night. She was very attentive and even gave us pictures and updates. I would definitely recommend her for watching kitties. 10000/10 thank you so much!!”

About: Hi there! I’m Katherine, and I’d love to care for your pets like they’re my own! With over 9 years of pet care experience, I bring a calm, confident, and compassionate approach to every animal I meet. I’ve worked at one of Missouri’s top veterinary hospitals in their boarding and daycare department, giving me hands-on experience with dogs and cats of all sizes, temperaments, and medical needs. Animals have always held a special place in my heart, but I have an extra soft spot for senior pets. I understand the patience, gentleness, and attention to detail they often require, and I’m honored to give them the care and comfort they deserve. I’m comfortable administering medications, following specific routines, and caring for pets with special needs. I’m available evenings and weekends and will always keep you updated with messages and photos to give you peace of mind while you’re away. Whether your furry friend needs a walk, playtime, or some quiet company, I’m here to help. Let’s give your pet the love and care they deserve—because they’re family! I’m available for pet sitting and dog walking in the evenings and on weekends. Whether you need a weekday check-in after work or weekend care while you’re away, I’ve got you covered! When taking care of your pet in your home I make sure to follow the instructions you give me to make sure your pets routine is not thrown off. I also treat your pet like they are my own.

“Cathy is communicative and easy to get in touch with. You can tell she really loves cats and she took great care of my boys while I was away.”

“This was our 2nd time booking with Barb. She adapted well and adjusted her approach with our senior kitty who is on medications, as he had some challenges during the first few visits. She was patient with him and utilized her knowledge and expertise to administer his medications. Our other two babies enjoyed the visits. All three loved all the treats and lovins.”

About: I used to pet-sit. Worked at a day-care a while ago. I've worked and interacted with all types of dogs. I enjoy what I do. I actually get really excited when working with dogs. I know they're a lot to handle sometimes but I feel like they're great fun to work with and they always make me feel better. My favorite types of dogs include Boxers, Miniature Schnauzers, Miniature Pinschers. I like all dogs of all shapes and sizes. I am really into playing fetch with dogs. I also don't mind playing with rope toys. They might tear my arms off but hey! It builds character! I'm very easy-going and I feel like with dogs you have to have a great sense of humor and enjoy the trade in order to work with them. I hope you consider me for some of your services. I look forward to chatting with you over the phone, internet, or in person! Also, I have a sweet little Mitten cat (her name is Mittens). She's a blue tortoise cat with these little white Mitten paws. My father has a black Maltese poodle named Beau... The sweetest dog in the world. I used to live with him and we were the best of friends. We still are. But we just don't see each other as much. That's who you see me with in my photos. I have pretty much open availability. I am comfortable doing overnight visits and morning/afternoon/evening walks. I'm currently in the process of trying to build clientele so I'm more flexible now than I might be in the future. But my long-term goal is to make this a full time 8 hour day. The 8-hour schedule block will entirely depend upon demand though. Whether it's broken up into different times of the day with a break in between or a full 8 hours non-stop, entirely depends upon when clients need availability. The number one most important thing about pet care is communication though. Between the owner and me. The sooner we know things, the better. Your pet's safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. I currently provide care exclusively in my clients' homes because I believe most pets are happiest and most relaxed in their own familiar environment. Staying in their home helps keep their routine consistent, reduces stress, and allows me to focus entirely on giving them the attention, affection, exercise, and companionship they deserve. I'll also treat your home with the same respect and care I would my own. Whenever possible, I love to schedule a meet-and-greet before the booking begins. It's a great opportunity for us to get to know each other, for your pet to become comfortable with me, and for me to learn about their personality, routines, favorite activities, quirks, medications, and anything else that helps me provide the best possible care. I firmly believe that in pet care, overcommunicating is always better than undercommunicating. I'd much rather ask one extra question than make an assumption, and you can expect prompt responses, regular photo and video updates, and complete transparency throughout your time away. While I would be comfortable offering boarding in the future, I currently choose not to because I share my home with a beloved cat. My decision isn't out of concern for her behavior—it's simply because I don't want to bring unfamiliar dogs into her space. By focusing exclusively on house sitting, I can give your pets individualized care in the environment where they feel safest and most at ease, while ensuring every animal in my care is comfortable, secure, and happy.

“Taro was super sweet and took such great care of our two kitties! He played with them and left behind some treats for them! He was also super respectful and went above and beyond and would absolutely hire him again in the future!”

“Ruth did a great job with drop in visits to care for my 2 cats while gone on vacation. I received pictures every visit and updates on how they were. Despite my older cat Milly being a bit antisocial, Leo warmed up to her immediately and loved the extra attention he received. Ruth cleaned my rugs where Milly had spit up, even offering to launder them. It was a relief knowing they were being cared for while we were gone.”

About: I’ve taken care of family and friends dogs and cats for the past 8 years. I have always been passionate about animals and making sure they are loved and cared for. I have been needed to bathe, feed, take on walks and give medicine. I have trained my own dogs, and know how to train basic dog training and leash training. I have fostered kittens and puppies at the humane society in Columbia MO. I was also a volunteer dog walker at the Humane Society for 2 years during college. I am currently taking summer classes for my Masters degree, so I have lots of free time to play and take care of any pets. While ensuring the animals wellbeing and feeling cared for. I have a fenced in yard for my dog, my dog is older and mostly sleeps inside during the day. It is very important that I am organized and prepared for the service I am completing while it be dog walking or drop ins. I will ensure that your furry friend is well cared for and receives all necessary care and love.

“Brad was very responsive to a last minute request to let my dogs out when I couldn’t get back home in time to feed them. He fed them and let them out and hung out with them for awhile.”

About: I’ve had dogs since I was 8, and I’ve always loved being around animals! I’ll treat your pets like my own and make sure they get plenty of love, attention, playtime, and cuddles. I’m currently between jobs, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your furry friends the love, attention, and care they deserve! I can be flexible with walks, visits, and playtime to help keep your pets happy and comfortable while you’re away. I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved in their own environment.

About: I treat every pet like they’re my own—with patience, love, and attention to their unique needs. Whether it’s a high-energy pup who needs extra playtime or a shy cat who just wants quiet companionship, I adapt to each animal’s personality. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and experienced with everything from basic care to administering medications. My goal is to give pets a stress-free, comforting experience while keeping you updated and worry-free. I'm currently studying for my exams and only working part-time so I'll have plenty of time to dedicate to your fur babies! I am available 7 days a week, from 10am-9pm. For dogs, that might mean exciting walks, playtime in the yard, tug-of-war, fetch, or just some good old belly rubs and snuggles. For cats, I’ve got feather wands, laser pointers, and cozy cuddle sessions covered (if they’re the snuggly type, of course!). I love creating a happy, low-stress environment where your pets can relax, play, and enjoy their day while you're away. Whether they’re high-energy or more laid-back, I’ll match their vibe and make sure they have a purr-fectly wonderful time! 🐶🐱💛

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was young. As an adult I got involved in helping train law enforcement dogs. After replying I came back and decided to become a professional dog trainer. I work overnight shifts a few days a week but am available most days during the day. I spend a lot of time working with my own dogs and can offer training if you are interested. I have a fenced yard and three dogs. I have a kennel room that allows for plenty of room for care and a basement that I use as a training facility. My dogs can be rotated on a basis if your dog is not pet friendly.
