Cat Sitting in Hatton

“Carissa was absolutely amazing! I was able to book a week, last minute with her. She asked the right questions to understand my cats needs! She was willing to go out of her way to buy my cats more food if they needed it, she brought in my cat litter packages, and was overall incredibly helpful and trustworthy. I will surely be booking with her again!”

About: I have been pet-sitting in my hometown for over 5 years, and I worked for two years in high school at my local vet clinic. I am trained in giving all types of medications, and I have substantial experience in working with animals in all states of health. I have also been exposed to a wide variety of pet behaviors, so I am comfortable working with pets that may need extra attention and care. I also have several senior pets and have fostered kittens in the past, so I love working with pets of all ages! I have spent my entire life loving animals, beginning with the family pets I grew up with. This led me to the veterinary field, where I began fostering and rescuing animals. Through this work, I discovered I have a particular love for senior pets, which led to my family adopting 5 senior dogs and one cat. Currently, I am a pre-veterinary student at Mizzou and I hope to become an Emergency Mixed-Animal Veterinarian! While I am excited to be pursuing my dreams, I really miss my pets and all of the animals I used to work with, so I am looking to fill that void here at school! I am a full time student, and my class schedule varies from day to day. I am usually on campus from 9-3 during the week, and I would love to work with any pets that need care outside of those hours or on the weekends! I strive to provide the best care to every animal I work with by making their comfort my top priority. I know how hard it is to be away from your pets, so I treat every pet how I would want mine to be treated. Outside of my professional experience with animals, I just really enjoy hanging out and spending time with them! So, you can trust that your pets will be loved, spoiled, and excellently cared for while you are away :) I work hard to establish trust with every animal I work with, to ensure that they are as comfortable as possible. I know how stressful it can be for pets when their owners are away, so I try my best to keep them happy and stress-free! I am happy to give medications, play with your pets, or simply hang out with them in order to provide the best quality care.

About: I am a veterinary student and have extensive experience caring for animals in many capacities. I am comfortable working with dogs of all sizes and cats. I have classes during the day most days, but will be able to either drop by in early morning or afternoon/evening! I am more thank happy to work with times as long as I have sufficient notice. I will follow any guideline you set for your animals in order to keep them safe. I will not give them anything unapproved, and I am familiar with signs of distress or illness in animals. This will help me to make sure your pet is doing well in my time watching them. I can accommodate for longer walks for high energy dogs, or lots of indoor play or cuddle time. I can be calm and patient with animals that are slow to trust new people, and will take the best care of your pets!

“I had Maia do drop-in visits for my two cats while I was on vacation this month. She was wonderful. She did an initial meet-n-greet and was very pleasant. While I was away, she completed each daily drop-in and sent me a meaningful update with several pictures. This helped ease my mind tremendously. My nearly feral cats (around strangers) were even eating treats out of her hand a couple or so days in and she sent pics of that. Very reassuring! Maia even put out bird seed daily for me so the wild birds I feed wouldn’t go without. Maia was as pleasant as they come. Her personal and professional experience with animals made me feel so much better leaving my pets under her supervision. Highly recommend Maia!”

About: As a lifelong animal lover with over 34 years of experience caring for dogs and cats, I understand how much your pets mean to you. I'm committed to giving them the same love, safety, and personalized attention they get at home. Plus, I'm certified in pet first aid and trained in positive reinforcement techniques, so you can trust your furry friends are in good hands Caring for pets isn't just part of my routine; it's my absolute joy! My days are all about making sure these furry friends get the love, exercise, and attention they deserve. Mornings kick off with walks or potty breaks, followed by feeding and playtime. Throughout the day, I fit in more walks, drop-ins, or daycare sessions tailored to each pet's unique needs. One of the best parts? My home has an amazing acre of fenced-in yard where pets can run free and play to their heart's content. Plus, I've even installed a DIY doggy door so they can come and go as they please. It's the perfect setup for them to feel right at home. Evenings are all about longer walks, cuddles, and winding down together before bed. On a weekly basis, I make sure to balance pet care with my personal schedule, so I'm always available for your pets, whether it's during the week or on weekends. My goal is to create a safe, loving space where pets feel like they're part of the family. For me, pet care isn't just a job—it's my passion! I have a fenced yard and one high energy pup to keep your dog company or if they are a low energy type even better cuz then they can hang out with me I have a fenced yard and one high-energy pup who can keep your dog company. If your dog is more low-energy, that's great too—they can hang out with me and be my buddy. No one is ever left feeling lonely here. My home is a lot like a dog park, with plenty of fenced in outside space for them to enjoy. If your dog does well at the dog park, I’m confident they’ll thrive with me!

“Lucas stayed with our cats over Thanksgiving and was really kind and kept us up to date on what was happening at home while we were on our trip! The cats were very happy!”

“Jennifer was very good with my 2 very shy cats. She figured out calling them didn't work. Instead, she would sit quietly and let their curiosity get the better of them. She sent me pictures every day--so nice to see. Plan to make her our regular pet sitter!”

About: I have been caring for animals my entire life. When I was 8 I started my own dog walking business to raise money for charity. More recently, I have been house and farm sitting for many people. I am comfortable taking care of cats, dogs, small pets, livestock, chickens, and whatever other pets you may have. I love animals, and I will make all of your kids feel loved while I'm there! I am currently a graduate student at William Woods University, getting my MBA. I just graduated with a degree in Equine Administration. I am working 20 hours a week as a graduate assistant. My schedule is very flexible, allowing me to stop by the pets regularly. I care for all animals as if they were my own. I ensure that all animals have the same routine that they would have with their owners. Not having their people home can be very hard for pets, so I like to do everything I can to keep them calm, happy, and loved until their humans come home.

“Amanda has been helping take care of our cat for the last year when we are away and she does a great job. She's great at communication and reliable.”

About: Hello! My name is Ben. I've always been an animal guy and just love spending time with all sorts of critters. I've worked at a zoo, volunteered at an aquarium, cared for lab animals, and taken in "problem" dogs and cats throughout my life and helped them be more manageable. I wouldn't say I'm a dog or cat trainer by any means, but I get along with all animals well above the norm and I love pets of all types, scaley, feathery, and invertebrate-friends included! I'm currently unemployed and will most likely be moving out of state soon as my wife is in vet school and about to graduate. My week is regimented but highly flexible, so don't be afraid to ask for what you need! My wife and I currently have a dog named Churro and a gecko named Wobbit, both of which get stressed easily, so for now no visits at our home. As such I also have to be home at least a few times throughout the day. However, my time is quite flexible so I can spend dedicated time with your pets as needed or stop in as often as you'd like.

About: I am an animal science major and absolutely adore animals! I grew up with 2 dogs and have taken care of friends dogs and cats over the past year while also house sitting. I am working part time at a horse clinic while also going to class. I have time in between classes to take out, feed or play animals and after work I can attend to them as well. I live in an apartment so I will not be able to do over nights but would love to take your dog on a walk and play with them to meet their exercise needs!

“Alora was a life saver covering our pups during the holiday! She was reliable and handled our pups well!”

About: Hi, I’m Maggie, a lifelong animal lover with a soft spot for every tail wag and purr. I have experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, personalities, and energy levels. Whether your pet needs long walks, playtime, or just a cozy cuddle buddy, I’ll treat them like family. I’m reliable, communicative, and always focused on your pet’s safety and happiness. Can’t wait to meet your furry friend! I’m currently transitioning out of the military and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give your pet my full attention. Since I’m not working a traditional 9–5 right now, I can easily accommodate walks and drop-ins including last-minute bookings. Whether your pet stays in your home or mine, I provide a safe, clean, and loving environment. I follow your care instructions closely—meals, walks, meds, or snuggles—and do my best to keep their routine consistent so they feel comfortable and secure. I’ll keep you updated with regular photos and messages, so you always know how your pet is doing.

“Everything went very well! Lauren stayed at our home and took care of our kitties! She stayed for a longer period of time as asked and hung out with them to keep them company. She also had no problem giving pill medications, although my cat did spit them out, but she can’t help that. Would reach out again!”

About: Hello! I have been taking care of animals for over 13 years. I grew up with two cats and two dogs, and taking care of multiple neighbors animals whenever they were out of town. My partner also works on rover and I have helped him on multiple occasions! I have a very flexible schedule at work, currently only working a part time job. I will always prioritize your pet and making sure they get the best care. Being a pet mom myself, I would give the best care for your pet, just as I would for mine. That includes making sure they are fed and taken outside and played with, etc!

About: I am a 36 year old father of 2 who has an unwavering love for animals of all kinds. Having taken care of Dogs, Cats, Rabbits, Birds, and almost any animal you can think of I can handle them all. Animals help give me peace in life and that is all I want to return to them. I have my Bachelors Degree in Psychology as well as my MBA in entrepreneurial leadership. I am also on my way to getting certified as an animal trainer. Your pets care and well being is my top responsibility when they are in my care. You will get lots of pics and videos as well as great communication throughout. I can work around almost any schedule and I have a very flexible schedule throughout the week. We can figure out what works best for you and your pets! First and foremost I will get a clear understanding of the type of care your pet currently receives and how you would like your pet to be cared for. For dogs I always like to take them on daily walks, lots of love and of course treats!

“She was great. Communicated the whole time we were away. She took fabulous care of my cat & hedgehog.”

About: I have several years of hands-on pet care experience from family and friends with dogs and cats. I’ve provided daily walks, multiple feedings, grooming, and basic training for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I’m comfortable with senior pets and those requiring medication, and I’ve also cared for anxious or high-energy dogs with patience and consistency. In addition, I’ve done overnight stays, ensuring pets maintain their routine in a stress-free environment. I genuinely love animals and treat every pet as if they were my own, always focused on their comfort, safety, and happiness. I work from home during normal business hours with leniency in needing to step away during the day. Also willing to work from the pets home if WiFi is available! I tend to stay pretty flexible. Either way, they’ll be treated like my own pet which is very heavy on the cuddles, kisses and treats. My pup, Roxie, loves being outside- so if your dog loves it outside also then that’s where we’ll be! If they like to be a couch potato, that’s my spirit animal and I’ll make sure they’re all comfy and well veg it out together! Currently in my home there are 2 other pups also that are very friendly and 2 other people that also love animals! I do not have the set up for cats, as I don’t currently have my own but have had cats in the past and can also care for them. Familiar with litter boxes and giving medication to cats, also.

About: I'm a Registered Nurse who also absolutely loves animals! I am on this site for the amazing opportunity of caring for dogs and cats! I have loved both dogs and cats my entire life and have had both of them as pets. I would love the opportunity to provide pet care services to your pet and to help out you and your family! From dog walking, pet sitting, checking on your cat (cleaning litter box, playing, feeding), to playing with your dog at a dog park or helping them get exercise, I would love to care for your furry family member. Whether you have a dog or a cat, I would never harm your furry friend in any way. I only want to love and care for your pet, and I would love the opportunity to help out you and your family with any pet care tasks you need while you're at work, on a vacation, or if you just need an extra set of hands! I work as a Registered Nurse and recently switched to a PRN schedule. That allows me to have a much more flexible schedule, which is great so that I am able to help care for your pets more! If you need various days of the week or weekends or day time or night time, I can usually make it work! I am also usually able to squeeze in some same-day bookings, as well! I try to be as flexible as possible because I know what it is like to have a crazy life schedule. We can work together to come up with something that works for everyone including your furry friend! This will vary based on what services you'd like provided for your pet. I am very honest, and if I am not able to confidently and safely perform the task, I will make sure to let you know! Integrity is very important to me when caring for both humans and animals because I value their wellbeing so much, so I will never tell you that I can do something and then either not do it or purposely do it below a high-quality standard. I'd love to communicate with each other what tasks you are looking for especially if your pet has any special or specific care tasks, diets, restrictions, or physical limitations. Some general tasks I can provide include dog walking, pet sitting, checking on your cat (cleaning litter box, playing, feeding), playing with your dog at a dog park or helping them get exercise. However, if there is any other task, just let me know and we can discuss it! I take safety and high-quality care very seriously, and I am eager to help you and your pet.

About: I have many years of experience taking care of my own pets. Occasionally over the years, I have taken care of friends pets. Dogs, cats, guinea pigs, chinchillas, parrots, fish, chickens, and horses are all on my list. I love animals, and I love to put owners' minds at ease just knowing that their pet is ok, or can go to the bathroom, stretch their legs, and receive some attention mid-day while they are at work! I am currently working full time, so I look forward to fitting my first pet visits into my lunch hour or after work and see how things go! I have a home with 1 docile dog, and 2 older kids who have been taught how to be respectful of animals. I have several acres of land, but it's not fenced so walks would be on a leash. I have a pond, if your dog likes to swim.
