Pet Sitting Hallsville

“Mary is great! She has been coming to check in on our puppy during the day while we’re at work. She is obviously a big animal lover and we have been very comfortable having her take care of our little guy! I would definitely recommend her to anyone who needs pet care.”

About: I took a very active role in caring for my family dog until he tragically passed from cancer in 2019. I have also dog-sat for neighbors’ pets with particular dietary needs. Currently, I’ve been told by roommates that I have a very calming presence with our house dog. I work part time primarily in the evenings and when not working, I often have community theater rehearsals on weeknights. During the Mizzou school year I will have some classes during the day, though for no more than a few hours at a time. My current house is not available for pet boarding unless specifically negotiated. The property has a non-fenced yard and one resident dog, who does behave well with other animals. Neighborhood is safe, well-paved, and walkable.

“Aubrey was amazing with our dog! He looked so happy in all of the picture updates we got from every drop in, and she was very communicative throughout the stay. Would highly recommend her care for your needs!”

“Always stayed in touch and showed up when supposed to. Was very interactive with the dogs and they seemed to like her a lot.”

About: I’ve worked with dogs in many various professional environments: specifically KC Dawgs training facility, dogtopia and camp bow wow daycare and boarding facilities, and even the petsmart grooming salon. I have loved every single job I’ve had with animals and am in good standing with all of them after having to move to Columbia for college. I also have a good amount of experience with working dogs as I volunteer and shadow the MO TF1 search and rescue canines at least once a month! I have a ton of experience with animals who might have physical disabilities or need extra care. The white aussie in my profile picture was partially blind and completely deaf. I got to work with him for a 1-2 week board and train! I’ve taken care of countless breeds with various different exercise needs and food varieties. I also have a ton of experience with grooming and nail trims. I offer these for free for anyone who books a service longer than a day! Just let me know in private messages if you are interested ^_^ I have 2 dogs of my own and we currently live on campus in a single dorm. I am also the president of the Canine Sports Club at my school! When students here need help with their dogs (we are a pet friendly school), I am usually the first person they ask. I also volunteer for a program called Retrieving Freedom which allows me to help train and raise psychiatric service dogs. This is a program that meets once a week. My own dog (Tara, 5) is being trained on the scent of a low blood glucose to work towards being my service dog (diabetic alert). So we train on scent multiple times a week. My dogs get supplements, meds, potty breaks, play dates, training outings, and grooming sessions multiple times a week. My pets at home are all kennel trained, potty trained, and general house trained. I have a puppy who has higher energy and needs more supervision, so he gets naptimes up in his kennel more often than my 5 year old girl. The puppy is on hip and joint supplements which he gets with his breakfast. All my dogs eat out of slow feeders and wait to eat until they are released. This helps with impulse control.

About: I have worked in professional pet care for 4 years and have been watching neighbors dogs for the past 2 years. At doggy daycare I have worked with all sizes and ages of dogs and am comfortable with all of them. I am currently and student at The University of Missouri but am still able to come to your house to watch your pet. I can stay at your house during the week or weekend, my classes schedule is pretty full so it might be harder for me to be at your house during the week day but my weekends are typically open and we might be able to work out a schedule for the weekdays! I have three dogs at home that I am very used to taking care of as well as my cat. I can follow your pets schedule so there is no difference in your care and mine.

About: I've been taking care of dogs for many years, whether that be my own dog, my neighbors dogs, or my friends dogs. I have overall had a lot of experience with many different breeds and sizes of dogs. I am well equipped and comfortable to take care of your pets needs such as feeding, bathing, walking, administering medicine, and anything else your pet might need. I am a college student, but I also have a very flexible schedule with a lot of free time during the day to take care of pets. My classes are normally mid-morning and finish in the early afternoon, leaving me with the whole morning and afternoon/evening time to be free to fit pet care into my week. In a clients home, I will be able to take care of pets the way that you would if you were home! I would be respectful of your space while also being confident and comfortable enough to take care of your pet with ease. I feel comfortable around any size pet and any breed, and will be able to adhere to the required needs of your pet.

About: I have experience taking care of dogs from all backgrounds. I have fostered dogs for most of my life. From puppies, adults, or seniors; and from the smallest chihuahuas to the biggest Great Danes, I care deeply about our furry friends. Weekday evening walks and check ins for busy cat and dog parents. I am available for check ins and walks Monday–Thursday after 5:00 PM. I provide safe, loving, and attentive care, following your pet’s routine and your instructions. I prioritize secure walks, supervision, and clear updates with photos after each visit.

“Was able to look after my grumpy old lady’s for a couple days. Went above and beyond for them, even though the pups were not happy about it. 🤣”

About: I've had dogs my whole life and have loved animals since I was a kid. Right now I'm watching my roommate's cat and dog, so I'm used to juggling different personalities and energy levels. I'm reliable, patient, and treat every dog like my own. Happy to send photo updates during walks and check ins so you know your pup is having a great time! I'm a student at the University of Missouri with a part-time job, so my schedule is pretty flexible. I'm available Monday–Thursday before 10:30am and after 5pm, and I usually have all-day availability Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Your dog's safety and comfort are always my top priority. Growing up with a dog with anxiety, so I learned early on how to read subtle cues, stay calm in stressful situations, and help an anxious dog feel safe. That experience taught me a lot of patience and made me really attentive to each dog's individual needs and comfort level with new people and environments. I currently share my home with my roommate's cat and dog, so I'm also experienced with multi-pet households and know how to keep introductions calm and stress-free

“Abby took great care of my babies and was very easy to get in touch with. I’d absolutely book with her again!”

About: I’ve grown up with animals my whole life and I love taking care of fur babies, I have taken care of lots of animals like ferrets and my own chinchilla and of course cats and dogs. I’m available in the Columbia Jefferson City and Linn mo areas I can do weekends and weekdays, I’ll take great care of your babies! I’m always gentle with any animal I meet as to not scare them away I’m always very respectful of boundaries and I always hold my hand out so I can let your animal sniff it and get comfy with me so I don’t scare them and I’m very gentle and caring, growing up my own dogs would get into fights so I know how to handle aggressive animals.

About: I have many years of personal care with animals. Although I have not professionally cared for pets, animals are my world and I would love to give each animal the care and love they deserve! You have my trust, responsibility, and punctuality guaranteed. I am currently completing nurse practitioner school full time in Columbia, MO & I am currently not working. I would love to spend my free time taking care of others’ fur babies! I have two dogs and two cats of my own in our home. Each of these animals are easily separable to your own pet if needed!

“Always so responsive and dependable! I’m able to enjoy vacations without worrying about my dog at all”
