House Sitting Kirkside

“Lulu did an amazing job taking care of my lurcher girl. She gave an end of day report with lots of pictures and kept our house super clean. I hope to have Lulu dog sit for us again in the future.”

“Jenni was outstanding! She was great to communicate with, went above and beyond in taking care of the house, and most importantly, the animals really felt safe with her. We will absolutely be requesting her services again.”

“Sylveena was amazing! She asked questions, sent pictures, helped out with things around the house and spoiled our babies!! Will definitely work with her again!”

Ashley D.

“Kristy, was awesome she truly loved her work with my dogs. She communicates through out her visits with texts and lots of pics. She is the best sitter I have had and gained my insulin dependent dogs trust quickly. I would highly recommend her to anyone. She is a true dog lover and all animals in general.”

“Kathryn is phenomenal. I have had her housesit for my 3 year old 10 pound toy poodle twice now. He suffers from separation anxiety and cannot be left alone for very long. The 2 times Kathryn has sat for me I was gone for long weekends. She stayed with him the entire time never leaving him alone. He absolutely adores her and is extremely comfortable with her. She is very loving and has no problems following the instructions I leave for her. I will only have her sit with him.”

About: I’ve been taking on pet sitting gigs for over 6 years! I’ve cared for all kinds of dogs big and small, and cats of all ages! I grew up with a very high-energy Labrador and feisty barn-cat-turned-house-cat. I now just live with a Snowshoe kitty named Pepper. I will care for your pets with utmost respect and tailor to their needs. And yes, I will take LOTS of pictures of your pets, and maybe even a full photoshoot😉 I am 23 years old, a recent Mizzou graduate, and a full-time remote worker. I currently work full-time remotely, so I have flexibility to see your pet throughout the day and much room in the evening after 5pm. While I work, I can often stay with the pet(s) during the day to take them out, keep them company, and tailor to their specific needs. I also strive to make the house look just like it had before the family left.

“Tacey was wonderful from start to finish. At our meet-and-greet she was personable, attentive, and asked thoughtful questions to make sure she understood every detail of the kittens’ routine. She has such an easy, calming presence, and was genuinely great to talk to. Throughout the stay she checked in every morning with photos and videos, and was consistently responsive and thorough. She stayed on top of the litter boxes, emptying the Litter-Robot waste bins before I even had a chance to remind her, and she kept the kittens entertained with playtime and treat puzzles. And truly, the icing on the cake: she washed her sheets and even folded my laundry. I couldn’t ask for better care. I would absolutely book with her again.”

“Saffron LOVED Jason! She warmed up to him super quickly and could tell each day he was the perfect fit to watch her while we were gone; lots of snuggles, neighborhood walks, and zoomies. This is the first time someone non-family has watched her and Jason made the experience so seamless with check ins and being super responsive via messages. We look forward to him staying with her again!”

Katy S.

“Excellent sitter for my 8 year old and 2 1 year old Rottweiler puppies. Mya is a loving and compassionate person. She followed my special instructions to the tee and was especially great with my youngest puppy with epilepsy as one of the 7 dogs in her own household also has epilepsy. I couldn't have asked for a better person than Mya for my last minute booking while I had surgery. Will definitely use her repeatedly! Highly recommend.”

Susan B.

“Chantelle was so amazing with my two dogs! She agreed to come meet them prior to the our requested dog sitting date, and they immediately loved her! She was communicative during the time she was taking care of the dogs and she even sent several pictures. I felt completely reassured and secure with her in my home and she left it in fantastic shape. I will DEFINITELY book her services again!”

Elizabeth M.

“Our dogs love having Hailee visit. She’s timely, caring and has such a positive attitude. The dogs get so excited when she comes. This is the 2nd time using her and we will definitely continue to use her as long as she’s available when we need a sitter”

Kim D.

“It was our first time having Jadyn stay with our pet and she did a great job! She was a great communicator and we came home to a happy pup! Thank you Jadyn.”

Jill W.

“Christina was great. It’s not often that we trust someone with our pups. Mainly because they’re a wild duo. I mean she updated us over the few days we were out of town and it seems like our pups loved her as well. We will certainly be rebooking Christina!”

About: I love all animals equally (don't tell my cats) and would love to get to know your pets! I have 2 years of experience taking care of dogs. I am familiar with clean up, basic training methods (e.x. clicker training) and high energy playtime. I can lounge around with older puppers or run up and down the yard with high energy doggos! I am currently working on personal business ventures so I have plenty of availability when it comes to your pets! I am available all 7 days of the week and can happily service on weekends! I also can do stays up to or longer than a week! Communication and honesty are some of my biggest values. I can provide plenty of checkin with photos as well as timely cleanups of any accidents or spills. In my home I make sure to have any medications locked away and I always check what type of plants I'm bringing in for my cats!

“Katy was exceptional with our anxious boys. It's such a relief to know we have a fantastic person to watch our dogs and house! The pics showed they were happy and having a blast. It means the world to us to know they are in such great hands with Katy. Thank you so very much!!!”

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was a kid. As an adult I have house/dog/cat/child sat for many people. I’m known as “Auntie K” to my dog sitting families! I’ve administered medications to dogs & cats as well as specific diets and cared for multiple senior dogs and cats. Although I grew up surrounded by animals, I haven’t had my own dog since I was 19. Sadly, my crazy but lovable kitty passed a couple of years ago. As a result, I really enjoy taking care of other peoples pets until the time is right and I meet my own furry friend. I have plenty of time to hang with your pet(s). I am available weekdays, weeknights and weekends! I am generally available 4-6 hours for potty breaks if I am not off work at my other jobs. I am willing and able to follow all rules and requirements to care the very best for your fur baby(s). I prefer everything written down so I can make sure everything that is requested is done on time and the way you would like. I understand your pet(s) are like children and it’s important to care for them the way you would.

“Elisa was the best! This was our first Rover experience, and we couldn’t have been more satisfied. She was friendly, communicative, and took great care of Jax while we were away. We appreciated the updates and the peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. We would absolutely book with Elisa again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”

“Erin is wonderful! She house and dog sat for two weeks. Trustworthy and loving to our two dogs and send photos of them every day. Outstanding communicator. Will use again and again!”
