About: I've had all sorts of pets growing up. I do have medical training and can handle difficult situations. I currently have two dogs that are rescues and a cat that was abandoned at one day old that I hand raised. My younger dog has an autoimmune disease so I am well practiced on giving medications. Thank you. I can schedule my own hours at my job so I'm pretty flexible on when I can be available. I am available weekends usually with no problems. I am unable to bring animals to my home due to renting. I am able to house sit or walk dogs only at this time.
“Donna watched our boys last minute for us and took the absolute best care of them. She provided amazing pictures as well as updates. We will definitely be requesting her in the future. Highly recommend!!”
About: I grew up feeding and caring for strays. I've had several "fur babies" since 1987 and have done part time pet sitting professionally since 2006. I am very flexible with scheduling but would prefer reliability in scheduling of clients on my calendar, since I maintain a regular part time job. I would be more than excited to come and care for your fur babies. I've been Mom to an elderly blind dog and am currently Mom of two spoiled felines. I don't charge extra for unconditional love.
“Maria was flexible and communicated quickly. Eevee (our fur baby) loved her and did great, we don't trust many people with her, but I would trust Maria anytime and we will definitely use her again. She was so great with Eevee, and sent detailed messages and pictures back with her. Can't say enough good things! 💜💜💜”

Sherry R.
“We live next door to Sherry R and know her quite well. She loves our Sheltie and enjoys taking him on a walk around the neighborhood just for her enjoyment of being with him. When I am outside at the same time as Sherry our dog really wants to run to her and enjoys the attention she gives. On two occasions we needed to be away from home, first for a long weekend and second for a two week trip to visit family in another country. We left our Sheltie in her care both times and were pleased with the care he received. We trusted her with the key to our house so our dog could stay in his own home (he is shy and does not do well in a kennel situation). Instructions were left detailing his daily routine of food, water, medication, and snacks which she carefully followed. It is so nice to come home following a time Sherry has cared for him and we are greeted by happy dog.”

Kim T.
“Kim has a big heart and has been caring for animals her entire life. We recently went on vacation and she offered to watch our Chihuahua. We had no worries at all while we were away and she sent us photos daily of our happy and healthy little fur baby. Kim is retired now, and available to care for other animals. She would be an amazing addition to Rover in the south Missouri area.”
