About: I'm Steve and I have my own very well behaved 5 year old chocolate lab named Beanie. We have a welcoming home for you and your pets. I'm pretty flexible at the moment. I can come to your house for walks or feedings but cannot stay the night. Me and my mom are both home alot so we can keep an eye on and take very good care of your pets. I have a fenced yard, pet door to the back yard, a sweet chocolate lab, a helpful mother and a good neighborhood. Let's see if we're a good fit!

Autumn, is just a fantastic human being. She sent me picture of my dogs everyday, took them for walks and provided an amazing care to them. I hope she wants to continue taking care of Parcero & Pica-Miel. Thank you Autumn.

About: I have taken care of pets since I was 9. I have raised several dogs from puppies to senior dogs. I am very well versed in potty training, bathing, and responsible play. For many years I have bathed and walked dogs for my family and friends in addition to taking care of my own. I absolutely love animals and look forward to giving yours all the love and attention it needs! I am a stay at home mom whose kids are all in school now. So that means I have a lot of free time for your pets! I currently have a dog who does not like other dogs, so staying at my house is unfortunately not an option. I do however love getting to visit other pets and thoroughly enjoy taking long walks with them or having a play session with them.

About: Hello, I'm Ryleigh, I'm 20 years old, I have 2 years of experience. I can help with nail trims and Pet Sitting. I love animals and I can't wait to work with your beautiful fur babies! I’m wanting to work with animals but find it better if I’m working alone. My passion has always been to work with dogs as I find it a struggle to work with people. I have 2 collies of my own so very high in energy. They require lots of play time so I’ll take them for walks or let them run around outside.

About: Hi! My name is Samantha, and I’m a stay-at-home mom to my 8-month-old daughter. I’ve always loved animals and have experience caring for dogs, cats, and even ducks of my own! I currently have 3 furry family members, so I understand how important it is to find someone patient, dependable, and loving to care for your pets like family. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, giving lots of attention, and keeping pets on their normal routines. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, or needs extra patience, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. I’d love the opportunity to help care for your pets! As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets lots of attention throughout the day. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, boarding, and playtime during most weekdays and weekends. Your pets will get plenty of love, care, and supervision while they’re with me. I treat every pet like part of the family and always make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I pay close attention to feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise, and any special instructions from owners. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats, and I’ll provide a calm, loving environment where your pet can feel at home.

About: I’ve worked in a veterinary clinic for 7 years and have lived with animals my entire life. I work with cats and small to medium dogs but I’m not opposed to bigger dogs. All ages are accepted. I have experience in grooming/bathing, administering oral and injection medications, and wound care/bandaging. I have a part-time job but I make sure your pets take priority. I’m currently working part time and taking online college classes, however my schedule is always flexible for your pets. I keep my calendar updated regularly for your convenience. While I have a concrete schedule for my animals, I am very flexible and will never do anything regarding your pets without asking you first. I will ask you questions before starting services and will keep you updated throughout the entire process. While I am at your home, I am happy to take your pets on walks, pick up mail, water plants, and I will always pick up after myself. I will not go anywhere that is not permitted and will care for your pets like they are my own.

Tausha stayed five nights with my dogs. She sent pictures several times and assured me they were doing well. She also did laundry, loaded and ran the dishwasher! The house was neat and orderly when I returned.

About: I have owned pets my whole life, including domestic and wild pets. Dogs, cats, squirrels, coons and possums if they need me I take them in and give them what they need! Because I am single, semi retired and self-employed I am able to make my own schedule. I can be available seven days a week, 365 days a year! I have a 3 year-old blue heeler rescue male pup and 3 year old male rescue cat and they love each other. As of June 2026 I am under contract to sell my 10 acre glampground and have moved down the road to Jane, MO! BIggie is the glampground pup and interacts with all of the Airbnb guest pets with no problems whatsoever and they typically fall in love with him and bring him inside at night, although he prefers to have the run of the place outside all day and he won’t come in until he’s ready!!!

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have had them my whole life, so caring for them feels really natural to me. I love being outside, going on long walks, and spending time with animals. I’m very responsible and make sure pets are safe, exercised, and happy while their owners are away. I also enjoy learning each dog’s personality and routine so they feel comfortable. I’m currently saving money for college, so pet sitting is something I take seriously and put a lot of care into. I’m currently a senior in high school and my classes are only from 7:00–10:30 AM during the week, so I’m available late mornings, afternoons, evenings, and nights. I graduate in about two months, and after that I’ll be fully available all day and night on both weekdays and weekends. I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and understand how important it is for them to feel safe and comfortable. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely for feeding, walks, routines, and any special care. I make sure dogs get plenty of exercise, attention, and time outside while also keeping them safe and supervised. My goal is to make sure your pet feels happy and cared for while you’re away.

Hunter stayed at our home over the holiday weekend to take care of our cat. He was so polite, kind, thorough, and responsible—I wouldn’t hesitate to have him stay again!
