“Absolutely amazing experience with TeAsia! Having a sitter in one's home takes things to a whole different level. We felt reassured from our very first meeting and our pets loved her instantly! We received multiple, detailed status updates each day along with pictures. We also came home to a house that was cleaner than the one we left behind. Cannot recommend TeAsia highly enough. We look forward to having her in our home again!”


“Sara always takes care of our two dogs and house like it's her own. She sends regular photos ans updates and even goes above and beyond washing towels and vacuuming. She makes my wife and I feel comfortable leaving our two dogs while we have to travel.”


“Aubrey was perfect really helped me when I was in a bind and I truly appreciate it! I'm forever grateful honestly. I think Mocha had a great time too! So that's always great! Would defiant recommend!”



“Chandra was great with my puppy and was very accommodating despite the fact that my booking was made with short notice. She gave frequent updates and was quick to respond to this worried puppy mama during my first time away. I felt much better knowing Valentine was in Chandra's care. Thank you!!!”


About: I am a retired RVT aka animal nurse. I worked at MU for 6 years in their ICU/ECC department and their shelter medicine department. I also have grown up on a farm with many farm animals. So I can provide care for inside and outside animals. I have worked in veterinary clinics since I was 15 years old. I’ve ridden horses for most of life as well. I am well versed in medications and health issues. If you have any questions please feel free to reach out! I am available at anytime to provide love, support, and care to all your furry friends. If you have medications that need to be on a schedule just let me know! I will be happy to keep you informed during my stay to ease your worries. I can provide care based off of your needs and your animal needs. If you have a senior that needs extra support and medications, I know all about the worries related to that. I have many years of experience with working with all ages. I have taken fear training over the years. I work with a German Shepherd Rescue for many years. That has allowed me to learn about hyperactive dogs who need a lot of mental stimulation. I am willing to help give medications even if you are home and need help! Just let me know!

About: I am good with cats, dogs and guinea pigs. I can clean out litter boxes, change bedding for guinea pigs and also have extensive experience in caring for a guinea pig's special needs. I’m currently working Mon-Thurs from 8:15am-4:30pm and Friday from 8:15am-12:30pm and I get an hour lunch! So if you ever need me to check in on your fur babies, I can do that! And I can still stay overnight if needed! I will follow instructions how to care for your animals in your home. This can include baths, walks, potty breaks, play time and feeding times.

About: I bring a unique blend of patience, attentiveness, and genuine love for animals that helps me quickly build trust with both pets and their people. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality and needs whether that means keeping a playful pup busy or making sure a senior dog feels safe and comfortable. Here’s a bit about my experience: • Puppy care, leash walking, and reinforcing basic commands • Senior dogs, with gentle handling, slower-paced walks, and medication routines • Special needs pets, providing calm, detail-oriented care • Administering medications (oral, topical, and injectable) • Multi-pet households, managing dynamics so everyone gets love and attention I always prioritize communication I’ll send regular updates and photos so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. I truly treat every animal as if they were my own, creating a calm and loving environment while you’re away. I’m planning to transition out of my hourly job and become a full-time sitter while in school. Balancing classes and work can be a lot, but pet care has always been something that brings me joy and helps me decompress. I carefully plan my schedule to make sure I’m fully present and attentive with every pet I care for. Whether it’s early mornings, evenings, or weekends, I’m committed to providing consistent, loving, and reliable care that fits both your pet’s needs and my routine. I focus on creating a calm, safe, and engaging environment that matches each pet’s routine and comfort level. In my home, I keep things clean, pet-proofed, and stocked with toys, cozy spaces, and outdoor access for breaks and playtime. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions closely feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any specific habits or routines. I make sure pets feel secure and loved, whether they’re in familiar surroundings or visiting mine.

About: I have taken care of animals since I was about six years old. I always watched neighbor's animals and cared for them as well as family and friends. I have no issues with giving medications orally to an animal and getting them their exercise in a backyard, going for a walk, or even going to the dog park to go have fun. My goal in life is to pursue a career working with animals while caring for my children. I am currently not working, so I have plenty of time for caring for pets while I am going through college. Tuesdays, I am not available from 2 PM to 315, but before and after that I am available. I am comfortable with using a dog lead if your pet requires it or just taking them on a walk if you do not have a fenced in backyard. If you have animals that have separate foods, I am perfectly willing to separate them in different locations in order for them to eat their own as I have to do this with my cats given 2 of them have urinary issues.

About: I’ve been caring for all my own dogs 40 years, all my grand puppies and friends dogs for over 12 years I love them all I’m retired and mostly have any day or night of the week open. I do house sitting in your home. And will do check in I will stay overnight with pets at your home. I find it creates less stress for the pets not to move them from there home


“Molly watched our two dogs and lizard while we were on vacation, and as always she did a tremendous job! I know the animals are all in excellent care with Molly, and we always get photos and videos along the way. Since the weather is changing, and the dogs tend to bring things in the house (sticks, leaves), and she also did a quick sweep up for us and threw our sheets into the wash, etc. She is outstanding!”

My son and I have have been dog walking and sitting for others in the Riverbend area for the past 10 years. I LOVE traveling so I know how important (and difficult) it is to find a dog sitter you can trust and rely on while you're gone.

About: Growing up on a farm, we had almost every breed of dog there is. From St Bernards to Chihuahuas, I've cared for them all. Since then, I have taken care of many dogs, cats, and houses, and am always enjoy getting to take care of peoples furry loved ones! I work 5 minutes from home during the day, and myself and my husband are home in the evenings. I take my dogs outs 4-5 times a day, and usually put other dogs I watch on that same schedule, unless the owner requests otherwise. I have a safe, open basement for pets to enjoy while they stay with me. This gives them the chance to stretch their legs during the day, have access to food and water, and if an potty accident occurs, they are able to get away from that area. I also have house/pet sat for many years. I am diligent about cleaning up after pets, playing with them and giving them some company, and then making sure the house is locked and safe until I return again.

“Paige was always responsive and shared pics of the dogs. We weren’t able to meet in person before our vacation so she was open to communicating with my neighbor who let her in. She took the initiative to follow up with any clarifications we hadn’t covered beforehand. Our dogs are anxious and we appreciated her staying at the house with them while we were away. It is clear she has a heart for animals! ??”
