“Madilyn was awesome with my cats, she was very punctual and had great communication. She spend some time playing with them and I adore the pictures she sent. It was very reassuring to be able to see my babies each time she stopped in. I would recommend her 10/10!”


“Niya was great! I needed someone to feed my frog and gecko, and to check on my snakes' water, and she did so wonderfully. My frog is notoriously difficult to feed, and other than Niya, no one else has been able to feed him. Definitely recommend, especially if you have reptiles or amphibians!”


About: Hi! I am a college student. I grew up with three dogs, seven horses, two cats, and chickens at my house. My parents are wanting me to wait until I graduate to get a pet of my own. So in the mean time, I would love to help you guys out. I love animals and can ensure you that I will take care of and love on your pets just like you would. I do not have a job, just classes. This means I will be available to play, feed, walk and more! I have been pet sitting regularly for about a year now and really enjoy it. I hope you will let me help you out! You can message me with any questions you may have!

“Katelynn was lovely and took great care of my three feline babies. She made sure that the girls were well fed and followed my instructions closely. Katelynn also sent pics during the stay so I knew that the babies were doing well. I will definitely be using her services in the near future.”


About: I treat every dog like family—not just a job. I learn their quirks, their favorite toys, and what makes their tail wag. I build trust with both dogs and their humans, creating a calm, loving environment that feels like home. I will ALWAYS send updated pictures a videos! Even with a full-time job, pet care is a priority I plan around, not squeeze in. I only accept clients I can fully commit to—meaning your pet gets the time, energy, and attention they deserve. I offer early morning, evening, and weekend care, and I’m highly organized to keep everything running smoothly. Pet care isn’t a side hustle for me—it’s a passion I build into my daily life. When pets stay with me, they become part of the family. I provide a safe, clean, and cozy environment with plenty of playtime, cuddles, and structure. I stick closely to their home routines—feeding, walks, medications, and bedtime habits—so they feel secure and comfortable. I make sure they get mental stimulation, physical activity, and lots of love throughout the day. In-home care means your pet stays in their familiar space, which helps reduce stress. I keep everything consistent with your instructions—from feeding and potty breaks to walks, play, and downtime. I respect your home like it’s my own and always send updates, photos, and quick check-ins to keep you at ease while you’re away.

About: Residing on a farm with open running space or enclosed electrical fencing for outside time, animals are sure to love their farm life experience. My husband and I have trained our own dogs to respond to basic commands: sit, shake, stay, come, and no. We have around 600 birds (chickens, guineas, ducks), 10 goats, and 2 Great Pyrenees girls (unaltered) that predominately reside outside. We also have 5 cats that are indoor outdoor and every other week our 16 and 10 y.o. boys are here to provide extra attention to animals visiting. We have also cared for animals at the end of life phase, moving at a slower pace and needing that extra assistance to get around. I currently work an 8 hour shift commuting to STL Monday-Friday. I work for the MO Army National Guard full-time, to include one weekend a month. My Husband’s full time job is taking care of the farm. He is predominately on farm, or not too far out if he is away. Caring for additional animals will fit like a glove into the animal schedule we currently operate on any given day. Caring for our own pets consist of daily feedings. There is always dry food out for all animals. The dogs and cats get wet food once a day, typically in the evening. The cats get attention when they want it. The dogs get released out of the fence a couple times a week to run the land under human supervision. They will also be let inside for short periods of time as we work on training them with inside manners, not to mention, one of the girls is terrified of thunder storms. Our animals are pampered with treats, attention, and full on conversations. They are more than animals around here, they’re family!

About: I was raised with an active Gordon setter. He solidified my love for animals. My responsibilities were to feed, water, and play with him daily (Playing was our daily bonding activity). Over the years I've been hired by multiple families to watch cats and dogs of all sizes, personalities, and temperaments. Hired experience: Responsibilities include feeding at designated times and amounts, ensuring there is always water, caring for bathroom needs (scooping for cats and walks for dogs), playtime and belly rub time. I have always connected well with animals and always try to understand what they need/want. I have a flexible schedule but am available around mid day to afternoon. I am open to discuss the timing needs for your fur babies. My pets have a daily routine of being fed at specific times and in specific amounts. The two cats are pretty inactive during the day, opting to sleep through it. However, after dinner my wife and I walk the cats (one on leash, other in stroller) for about 30 minutes. They receive a dental treat afterwards and make sure they get lots of love.

About: I've grown up with animals. Cats, rabbits, hamsters, even ferrets. I love all animals and currently have a dog and a bearded dragon!

The weekends are made for the dog park and walks! My Duke boy loves dogs and is always looking for new friends! I have a vehicle that can more than accommodate your fur friend and with 10+ years of caring for animals, I love all of them like my own! I have my own leashes and collars if it's needed as well as do dog training on the side with my Fiancee

“She has always had a deep love and connection with animals, and over the years, she has gained hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, all sorts of animals, both her own and others! As a pet parent herself, she understands how important it is to trust someone with their fur babies. She can provide a calm, safe, and loving environment where pets can feel comfortable and cared for—just like they’re part of her family. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company, she treats every pet like her own. She is reliable, patient, and pays close attention to each animal’s unique personality and needs. With a flexible schedule and a passion for pet care, she is committed to giving your pets the attention and affection they deserve while you’re away.”
