Dog Sitting in Independence

“Cathy was great with my cats. My shy cat even came around to her. She communicated with me daily while on vacation. I was able to enjoy my vacation so much more knowing my cats were well taken care of.”

“Ariel watched my two kitties while I was on vacation, a drop-in one per day for five days. She was perfect! Very responsive, the kitties loved her, and I’d 100% book again.”

About: Hi! I’m someone who genuinely loves animals and treats every pet like family. I know how important it is to feel completely comfortable leaving your pet in someone else’s care, so I focus on making both pets and owners feel safe, relaxed, and cared for from day one. I have experience caring for pets with a wide range of personalities, energy levels, and needs — including administering medications, working with reactive dogs, senior dogs, and puppies. I understand that every pet is unique, and I’m patient, attentive, and committed to creating a calm, positive environment where they feel secure and comfortable. Whether your dog loves long walks and playtime, or simply wants extra affection and attention, I tailor my care to fit their individual routine and personality. I’m confident reading body language and helping nervous or high-energy pets feel safe and understood. I pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and attentive. You’ll receive regular photo and video updates so you always know your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. I also make it a priority to keep routines consistent to help reduce stress and make the experience as comfortable as possible for your pet. My goal is simple: to give your pet a loving, stress-free experience while giving you total peace of mind. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family member! I currently stay at home so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide attentive, loving care for your pets. I’m available for boarding, daycare, walks, and drop-in visits throughout the week and weekends. Your pet will never feel rushed or overlooked — I make it a priority to give each animal personalized attention, exercise, playtime, and affection. I’m also happy to accommodate feeding schedules, medication routines, and special care instructions to help your pet feel comfortable and at home. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where animals can feel secure and loved while you’re away. I have a fenced yard for supervised outdoor play. I treat every pet like family and always follow each owner’s instructions closely, including feeding routines, exercise needs, medications, and preferred sleeping arrangements.

About: I've cared and pet sit for family for years, I would watch over my Nana's ten pets for weeks at a time multiple times a year. I always look forward to when I get to sit and care for families pets and spend time with them one on one. I love the calm moments where they sleep next to you and the energy of running around in the backyard for hours and taking walks. I work a full time job in the evening, but I have two pets I care for at home before and after work. I would love to be able to help others know their animals are safe and taken care of while they're at work or out of town, especially if they're gone late at night when their pets need them most. I always make sure to approach an animal and not force myself on them until they feel comfortable around a new person. I make sure when taking them on a walk to always have them on a leash just in case and be cautious around other animals because you can't ever be too sure of other people's pets around your own. I would always check with the owner but I would love to bring approved treats for the animals as a fun surprise and maybe a new toy if it was okayed by the owner.

“Edith arrived promptly with a warm smile and a gentle voice to greet Louie. She clearly knows how to handle an excitable dog. Her experience and calm manner did the trick so he could enjoy her company on their walk. We are so thankful to have met and hired her!”

“Deanna took great care of my dog on the check ins. Walked and played fetch with him and she was always in touch. Will definitely go to her next time I need someone to check in on him!”

“Hannah is absolutely INCREDIBLE. She loved on our teething 3 month old Aussie with so much grace. She sends lots of updates which is great for us because we always feel bad leaving her. Thank you Hannah for your patience and time! We will be a repeat customer for sure!”

About: I grew up with 4 large dogs (labs and golden retrievers) and 2 chihuahua mixes. Loved taking care of them as a kid. Now I have 2 cats and I have had them for 3 years. I also volunteered in a cat shelter for 1 year in Miami. I prefer last minute bookings and I will not accept booking requests more than 1 month in advance. I do online tutoring in the mornings and I’m 100% free in the afternoons and all day on the weekend. If you need me to house sit in the mornings, I can as long as I can connect to my tutoring sessions in between taking care of animals! For cats: I can feed, scoop the litter box, refill water, sweep, and of course play with them and give them scratches For dogs: take them on a walk, feed, refill water bowls, clean up, and of course play and give scratches

“Rachel made me feel so at ease the whole time I was out of town! My cat looked so happy in the pictures she sent that I didn’t feel worried about her at all. I will absolutely be rebooking with her in the future. Thank you Rachel!”

“Destiny was great. She responded fast and always checked in with us with any questions and updates about our dogs. She sent us pictures each time she took care of our two dogs. I highly recommend Destiny and we'll be sure to book her again next time if she's available.”

About: I’ve spent my entire life around animals, and for the last decade, I’ve been the "go-to" sitter for friends, family, coworkers, and even my college professors! My background as a nanny of five years means I bring an extra level of responsibility, patience, and organization to every pet I care for. I am comfortable with all pets - from tiny kittens to medium-breed dogs. I am familiar with the gentle care required for aging dogs and cats, including managing special dietary needs and restricted routines. You can expect me to treat your home and your pets with the same level of professional care I provided to families as a nanny for half a decade! Whether your pet is high-energy and needs a trip to the park or is anxious and needs a quiet evening of companionship, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, loved, and pampered while you’re away! Though I can't board on-site due to my lease, I am happy to do in-house visits, go out on walks, etc. I work full-time, but have flexibility around the lunch hours and in the evening. I am available most evenings and weekends. I am very committed to helping make sure pets are as comfortable as possible when they're missing their people! I care just as much about making sure your fur-baby has company and enough human connection during your time away as I do that they are being fed and watered!

About: I’m currently a veterinary student set to graduate in less than 2 years! I am home for the summer and would love to help take care of any and all lovely pets! I am able to completely revolve my schedule around your pet if needed. I am happy to walk, train, or just love on your pet. It will bring me the greatest joy! As a veterinary student, I am CPR-certified and well-educated in animal needs. I will be sure to keep the health of your pet my primary job, as well as making sure they get loads of love!!!

About: I’ve been pet sitting professionally on and off for around 5 years now and am very comfortable with most kinds of animals. I have experience in training pups, senior care, and medication administration. Personally, I’ve had a companion with tumor-induced epilepsy and another with Blastomycosis (a respiratory issue). In other words, I am prepared to care for your animal in whatever capacity they require. Until May, I work an 6 hour morning shift T-Th and a night shift on Saturday. Over the summer, it will reduce to Sat. shift only. Other than my job, I am available to be with your companions at all times of the day as per need. I will care for your pet in whatever way they need. If they must be crate trained at night, fed daily medicine, diaper changed, regular training practice in basic skills (sitting, etc.), frequent walks, bathed, trimmed, I'm your girl. I’ll do my best to make them comfortable with me and happy in your home (even if that means love from a distance for some of our timid fellas).

“Angel was extremely responsive when setting up the meet and greet and took amazing care of Mr Cat! She sent daily photos and updates and he looked happy and cared for!”
