About: I have taken care for pets since I was 16. Usually for friends and family. I feel ready to expand and care for others’ pets. I grew up around dogs and cats and have always known that I love them. I’m entering my senior year of college for education. I run track for semo, leaving me with lots of time to care for your pets. I don’t have a fenced yard but I live on a very safe street where many walks can be provided. I also can easily crate your pet if needed. I don’t mind to travel to a park to get some running in .

About: I grew up in a household that bred rottweilers so I know the importance of good training and leadership with puppies. I have had many dogs in my life so I am experienced in all stages of a dogs life, including special needs dogs. I currently have two husky mixes that are high energy so I know the importance of going on a good walk. I am comfortable with all sizes of dog, from teacup to giant and ALL breeds I am currently working full time but have mornings and days off free to take care of your pets. I have a set schedule so I should be able to set a routine if you'd like I will keep your dog on a leash at all times outside of the home. I will also make sure to keep an eye on them at all times while they are in my care.


“Gracie was a God send for us this past weekend. Within minutes, she confirmed the booking, asked good questions, was on time, courteous and an overall pleasure to have watch our Dodger dog. We recommend her.”



About: I spend majority of my time with my dogs and the dogs I watch. I grew up showing and competing with my families dogs in all kinds of dogs sports! I current have a few of my own dogs that LOVE to have visitors! Your dog(s) are integrated into my family during their stay. Couch and cuddle time is always included! I also currently volunteer at a dog training facility and am always learning and adding to my knowledge base. I love having different dogs around and welcome any size of dog from under 10lbs to over 150lbs I work fulltime during the week but its only a few minutes from my house. I come home every day at lunch for 45 mins and let the dogs out to run and go potty. So they will never be left in a crate or room for more than 4 hrs max. I have a fenced in back yard for them to potty and run around in. Any dog that is in my house is integrated into the family. If I am home the dogs are out and get just as much couch and cuddle time as my personal dogs. All of my dogs are very well accustomed to having visiting dogs around. I also have a system if you have a dog thats not super dog friendly as I have a separate room that they can stay in and I will rotate my dogs and your dog(s) to accommodate that.

About: Animal Science major who has been apart of a household with pets most of my life. I have experience with dogs of all ages, shapes and sizes along with enrichment training, fostering, pet sitting, walking and more. I've dealt with emergency scenarios with my own pets and will care for yours as if it was my own. I love all the pets and am always excited to meet more! I am currently only working under contracts and my schedule is currently very open. I am used to walking and caring for pets. Caring for pets fits in right along with my regular routine! I have a lard fenced in yard along with two friendly dogs. One is 7 year old male who is lazy and loves everyone, the other is a 1 year old border collie mix who's loves to play! Capable of keeping them separate when necessary or unsupervised. Very customizable to your pets wants and needs! I will put your pets first and make sure they have the best experience possible.

About: I grew up on a farm with a lot of animals to care for. I also have bottle fed and raised a puppy from day one. I’ve raised many kittens and older cats as well. I can administer medications if needed. I will play with them, take them for walks, love on them, whatever they need! I am a Registered Nurse so I care for pets on my days off! I work 3 nights a week so I have four available days usually! I have an 11 year old well trained black lab and a very friendly cat that loves dogs too! I will provide any care your animal needs.

About: I think it’s important to none only be trusted with your fur baby, but also know they are being taken care of exactly the way you would like. My fur babies have specific instructions with reasons why, so I know how important it is. I have experience working with feral cats and at an animal shelter and grooming salon, so I have a wide range of experience with many different animals, seeing them at their worst, and having the needed patience to remain an empathetic, gentle, loving caretaker. With my animals, and animals I have rescued, I have lots of experience medicating animals including giving shots for diabetes and I own and have trained a deaf dog. I am also a dog trainer and growing to help any dog with any behavior issues. My schedule is currently completely flexible because I am taking online classes. I’m an early riser, so I can take your dog on a walk while it’s cooler outside. I like to follow the instructions left for me as closely as possible. I think it’s important to stick to the dog’s routine in order to feel more comfortable.

About: I’d describe myself as a professional dog walker as I have two of my own, as well as grown up taking care of dogs in all age/size ranges! I’d love to meet up with the pups and help them get some good exercise. I’m currently working part-time and have been looking for good ways to get active. My love for dogs is keeping me in shape! I have lots of free time to put towards helping other dog owners in need. My dogs are taken on walks or to the dog park at least once a day! They are also great with other dogs if doggy play dates are something your dog would enjoy! Or not, for the older more calm dogs who just need to get their steps in!

About: With me, your pet is guaranteed to receive personalized, loving care. Growing up in a large, close-knit family, I've been surrounded by dogs from an early age, and they've always been an integral part of my life. My experience in raising dogs all my life has made me highly attuned to their needs. I currently have a loving American Bulldog named Apollo, who you'll see under the orange cover in my profile gallery, along with other dogs I've cared for in the past. I've been dog sitting for years, and it’s more than just a job—it's a passion. I understand how important dogs are to a family, having experienced firsthand the comfort and joy they bring to our lives. When caring for your pet, I prioritize keeping you informed with regular pictures and updates, so you can feel at ease knowing your furry friend is happy and well cared for. I tailor my care to your pet’s specific needs and your preferences, so just let me know your pups fav trails and playtime activities and I’m happy to accommodate. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to offer dog walks, play dates, and dog sitting at your home, including overnight stays if needed. I always take the time to understand your pet’s routine and habits, ensuring they receive the best care possible while you're away. I work Mon-Fri. But have the flexibility to leave multiple times throughout the day. I am able to do overnight stays Sunday - Saturday as long as you are comfortable with a sitter that has a 9-5. Open to taking the kids to the park, on a nice walk or even a small trial hike! Whatever meets your needs as a parent. Unfortunately I am not open to overnight sitting services within my own home. I can however bring your pet for a play date with my own dog or bring them to my house for a temporary moment of time.

About: I know the struggle is real when trying to find someone to watch your fur baby. Although, we haven't met in person, I hope to gain a bit of your trust for caring for your pet(s) with this short paragraph. Growing up, my family always had a "family" dog so since I was a young girl I have always enjoyed taking care of our pets. Now that I am an adult, I have made the choice to become a vegan because I believe all animals are worth fighting for. I spend most of my free time volunteering at a local animal shelter. My husband and I have four dogs; all of which we adopted from a local shelter. Our families and friends tease us about how much we "spoil" and "pamper" our dogs, but to us, these furry creatures, are family. With all this said, I would be honored to help take care of your furry creatures by walking them when your schedule is pressed for time, going to your home to check in while you’re away, and all together showing them the love I believe all animals deserve. While deciding on my future career, I have a bit of time on my hands. I am currently available Monday through Friday to walk and play with your fur babies. I am also available for day or night check-ins at your home. Although, I can’t stay overnight with your pet(s), I am more than happy to go to your home several times throughout the day and spend time with your furry family while you are away. I will meet your pet’s needs in whatever environment you and your pet feel most comfortable! Does your pet need company for a few hours, a quick potty break, or a long walk? I am happy to help!

About: I have enjoyed taking care of a variety of dogs and cats since I was a kid. I also know how to administer insulin to diabetic dogs. I have plenty of time in my daily routine to care for pets Monday through Friday from 6am to 3pm. I have one small senior dog of my own as well that I take care of. I offer drop-in visits for pets at the client’s home. I will take your dog to the restroom, feed and refill water bowl as necessary, as well as play with them to keep them entertained, or just love on them if they’re not much into playing. The visit can also include a short walk. For cats, I will clean litter boxes, refill food and water as necessary, and play with them or just give them love if that’s what they prefer.

About: I love all dogs more than anything in this world! I met my first soulmate when I got my dog, Patches, who I still have and is currently 5 years old. I can train dogs, any type of training you can think of. And you can ensure this place as a safe haven for your furry friend while here at the Hilton! 😝 I’m currently working at UPS as a seasonal support delivery driver. But it’s only temporary until after the new year. I do work Monday-Saturday right now but i leave my house around 9:30-10 and am always home by 3:00 p.m. But while im gone there will always be another person here to watch after your dog, i.e., my dad, or my mom. I have a big fenced in yard. It is an 8 ft chain link fence so they will get plenty of exercise. I have 2 dogs that can keep your furry friend company! But if you’re dog isn’t really into other dogs, I do have a seperate area that’s just as big and also fenced in with an 8 ft Chain link fence all around! So they could either be with my dogs or seperate from my dogs!

About: I would love to take care of your fur babies! I have always grown up around animals and always took in sick animals in need of care. Our house was never a stranger to any animal, so I have a lot of experience on animal needs and animal body language! My Fiancé and I have a cat named Marty and a dog named Pumpkin! Pumpkin is a 100lb puppy, so you can be absolutely sure I can walk your large fur babies with no problem! I have also grown up with a lot of dogs under 30lbs, so walking smaller dogs is no issue either. I carry with me poop baggies, treats, and a portable water bowl on dog walks. They will be well taken care of and made sure they can enjoy their walk without being bored or thirsty! I hope to meet you and your fur babies soon! I would love to take them on a walk or just provide general care to them, and I am sure they will appreciate it too! I am available all through the week and work weekends. I can take your baby(s) on a walk any time needed. I would love to spend more time getting out into nature and let your baby do the same! I plan to walk your dogs at a park or somewhere dog friendly and safe! If there is a certain place they love to walk above all the rest, I can take them there too!
