“Ashley was amazing! Our outdoor kitty was home alone while we traveled and we didn't want her to feel abandoned. Ashley came every morning, checked in on her and gave her some love. Perfect arrangement. We'll definitely ask Ashley for help again.”
About: I’ve had a deep love for animals since I was a kid, and I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 7 years old. My first dog was a beloved member of our family for 12 wonderful years, and since then we have welcomed three more pups into our lives. One of them is my own, Nala, a pitbull mix who is truly my entire world. I have experience with dogs of all ages, including geriatric dogs and those needing regular medication. In addition to dogs, I’ve had rabbits since I was 11. My current bunny, Minnette, will be 14 this August after losing her bonded partner in 2021. I’ve also regularly cat sat for friends and family and am comfortable with feline care. Over the years I’ve rescued many dogs and volunteered at the Animal Protective Association, also known as APA, in St. Louis where I gained hands-on experience with a wide variety of breeds and temperaments. I have a particular interest in dog body language and behavior. I love learning how to make animals feel safe, understood, and happy. Whether your pet is playful, shy, elderly, or energetic, I will be attentive to their unique needs and treat them like family. I just graduated college at Mizzou, and am taking a gap year before I begin graduate school next fall! This means I have plenty of time and my schedule is wide open to care for your pets. <3 I have always been an avid animal lover-- not even just dogs, but all sorts of pets! I have had my bunny since she was 1 year old and I was 11, and she is now about to turn 14 next month! I have also had dogs since I was 7 years old! I grew up with my childhood dog, Louie for 12 years. Now, I have my own dog, Nala. I have had her for about 3 years now, and I consider myself to be a helicopter parent (ask anyone haha)! With that being said, I am ALWAYS paying attention to details, instructions, and am very vigilant about making sure your pet is getting everything they need. As I do with my own pets, I will give that same attention and dedication to yours!
“Ashley was amazing! She took such good care of our fur babies. She was wonderful at communicating and sent us photos and updates each day. 10/10 would recommend Ashley for all your pet sitting needs!”
“Sara is very reliable and knows how to take care of animals! She provides updates and pictures and will follow up if she has concerns about the animal’s health. I would highly recommend Sara!!”
“Kenzie was FANTASTIC. Our cat had a health emergency right before we left for our trip and Mackenzie was willing to take on all the extra medications and procedures that he needed. I felt so bad asking someone else to do all the extra messy work for our cat but Kenzie took it on with confidence. Thank you thank you thank you so much! I don't know what we would have done without you, you're a lifesaver!”
“Liane did a wonderful job taking care of our 2 cats. She was available on short notice and made time to come meet and greet ahead of time. Highly recommend and will request again in the future.”
“I am so pleased with the way my baby was taken care of! So much communication and you could see the care in the videos! My baby was so happy! I can’t say enough. I highly recommend!”
About: I am a Registered Veterinary Technician that works with dogs of all sizes and different temperaments daily. I'm comfortable with administering medications, doing nail trims, and picking up poop! I currently work full time at a Veterinary clinic, but am typically off Fridays-Sundays (I work rotating Saturdays until noon). I'm also in the Army Reserves, so I may be gone certain weekends. Feel free to reach out! I am willing to stop by your house (especially if your pet is more comfortable with that) to feed, water, give them medications if need, and clean litter boxes/walk - and give them loving of course! I can board small dogs in my home. I have a fenced in back yard that they are welcome to run around in.
“Emily H was fantastic caring for Kit my son's adopted kitty, while he was out of town. She was very accommodating to a few changes we made along the way, unexpected family medical emergency and miscommunication on our part. She was pleasant and we could tell she provided A+ TLC to Kitty, which made my son relax while he was away from her. Thank you Emily - we will be booking you again!”
About: I am a pet lover and know how important it is for owners who can't take their furry friends along to have a place they feel safe and comfortable with. I have been watching animals of all species since I was a kid and feel comfortable with accommodating special care requests. I am very flexible with my schedule and am usually available to be with your best friends for most of their waking hours. I have a pet cam available if I need to leave them alone for a little bit. I live on a large countryside area a bit off the main road with lots of grassy unfenced area. I keep my home very clean but animals are allowed to snuggle with me on the furniture to make their stay as comfy as possible. I can make many accommodations according to how you like to care for your furry friend!
“Megan kept our cat, Stephen, happy and well fed. She dropped in every day to check on him and give him attention. Everything was in great shape when we returned and Stephen was not distressed that we were out of town for several days. I would definitely hire Megan if we are away from home again.”
About: I am here to help whether it's walking you're dog while your at work or keeping it company while you travel. I will treat it like my own! I am here to help with your companion while you enjoy your lifestyle. I have been providing cats and dog services for five years. In addition to having dogs, cats, kitties, and puppies of my own. I have had hunting dogs, racing dogs, and lap dogs in the past. I understand how much they mean to you and will follow any special instructions to give your fur baby the best care possible. You will not have to worry about if they are getting cared for and can check in at anytime to get reports or check on them.
About: I grew up with a cat and found a love for all my friends dogs. I have been working with animals since I can remember. I have also worked with Second Chance and have taken their train the trainer type class. I love training new tricks and starting a new bond with most animals (no spiders or snakes). I am a remote worker, which means I can come to you. I am able to take breaks throughout the day to take walks or give some attention to the Animals. Also if you have a puppy that needs to be potty trained I have a great schedule for that. While I will be coming to your place to take care of your animals, I would prefer to meet up at least once before watching your pet to make sure there are no problems. I also believe if I am watching your pet at your home any messes are on me to clean.
“I am satisfied with Janae’s work. I left my cat for a week and the cat is still alive. Lol. She sent photos and answered messages quickly enough. The house was kept clean. I will work with her again. Very respectful, kind & responsible person.”
