1. Madilyn D.

“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!”


2. Niya T.

“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!”

5. Emily H.
About: I have had dogs all my life and always thought of them as family! I have worked with Great Danes, labs, pitbulls, dachshunds, and Yorkies. I currently have a 2 year old black bully mix named Patrick, he's my best friend and shotgun rider! I have trained him in: stay, leave it, here/come, spin, between (going between legs), leg weaving, giving kisses and of course high five! I am a professional weightlifter and don't mind handling big dogs. I am available after 3:00PM on Wednesdays and Thursdays and free anytime on weekends! I can cover most holidays too! I will always do my best to accommodate emergency situations as well. In my home, Patrick is part of the family and is treated as such. He gets spoiled with treats and love. Inform me of any food allergies or food preferences of your dog as I love to make lick bowls / lick mats! I also have experience with cats and would love to provide the same care and mental stimulation to them as well! I have also owned reptiles and learned how to build a relationship with them by respecting boundaries in learning their body language.


6. Kyra B.
About: Hi! I am 35 years old, and I grew up on a farm taking care of animals of all kinds and have always been an animal-lover. I adore animals of all types. I currently have two dogs I adopted named Arlo and Nala, and they are my whole world. I have been an English teacher for 12 years, and I am looking at filling some of my downtime this summer by offering basic pet-care, walking, and check-ins/potty breaks for dogs and/or cats to the Higginsville, Lexington, and Concordia, MO area. We can schedule a Meet & Greet. I am responsible, reliable, and incredibly compassionate & attentive toward animals. If you want the best care for your fur-babies, I’m your gal! Happy to help. A good day is a day spent with animals! I am a teacher on Summer Break, so I have a lot of freedom to my schedule. I am usually available Monday-Friday between the hours of 6-5 pm but it doesn’t hurt to ask if there is a need outside of those days/hours. I can offer basic pet-care in your home, from potty and kennel breaks/play, feeding, walking, and check-ins by your request. I generally do not stay longer than an , depending on the services. $15 is the check-in rate; a 30 min. walk is a separate/additional service that costs $15. We can talk about what works best for you and your pet!

9. Gabrielle & Joel F.
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!


10. Kat C.

“Kat did a great job with my dogs. I always knew when she was checking in and my dogs were well taken care of.”


11. Kailyn K.

“Kailyn is the best! She took such great care of both of our dogs, gave excellent updates with photos, and even filled the horse’s water when we asked her to! She is so sweet and made sure to contact us with any questions or concerns. She even hand fed one of our dogs, because she was concerned he wasn’t eating enough! Don’t think twice, book the sweetheart, to take care of your babies.”
12. Taylor J.

“Taylor was perfect for our Titan! She had excellent with communication and took great care of our dog. We will definitely be working with her again.”


13. Neha M.
About: My name is Neha, I’m a recent pharmacy graduate who is looking to find some amazing, cute pets to sit! I don’t have any pets, so I am eager to take every opportunity that I can to look after some cute fur babies! I am very kind, responsible, understanding, and will work with you! Although I do not have any pets, my desire is to have my own pet in a few years after I am more settled down! Taking care of your pets would give me the opportunity to experience what having a pet is like and all the responsibilities that come along with it. I love dogs of any shape or size. 🐾 I am currently not working and am just using my time to study for my upcoming pharmacy board exams from home. Pet sitting would give me some excitement to look forward to in my usual day to day routine. I make sure to follow the schedule as laid out by the pets owners. I will also continue to ask questions and provide updates regarding the pets to owners.

And any time I have had an emergency out of town, she was more than willing to fit me into her schedule.”
