Pet Sitting in Kirksville

“Brittney helped me out in a bit of a last minute request and was amazing! She’s fast to respond, thorough, and I had no doubt my pets would be safe and well cared with her. I look forward to rebooking with her again, thank you Brittney!”

“Claire did an excellent job watching my kitten over the holiday! Loki is a very playful and she made sure to exhaust as much energy as she can during her visit. She was very quick to respond to messages and took very cute photos.”

“Wendy’s visits were excellent and provided us with great peace of mind while we were away. We all loved getting pictures of our pets and seeing that they were well cared for. Would definitely recommend and will hopefully get to hire Wendy again soon!”

“Great communication, and did a good job in adverse weather. Driving through a blizzard just to take care of my dog. thank you!!”

“10/10 would recommend!”

“Kat has watched our dogs, 3-year-old and 10-year-old Chocolate Labs-many times. Kat is reliable, kind, dependable, and trust-worthy. She has stayed over for one or two days at a time, up to a week at a time and we have nothing but wonderful things to say about her and her care of our dogs. They LOVE her and she always sends us pictures of them snuggling up together. I’ve known Kat for several years and not only is she great with pets, but she’s an amazing human being.”

“Sara is fantastic! Dependable and super sweet with my dogs. Sam is an anxious pup and Sara is wonderful with him. Lilly is lazy, but Sara seems to motivate her to go for walks! We will definitely have Sara back again!”

“Ryan is great at communicating and is great with animals. He did a great job at watching my dog Nori and took her on many walks since she has high energy. I would highly recommend!”

About: I’ve been around cats and dogs my whole life, so caring for them feels second nature to me. From a young age, I started helping take care of family and friends’ pets whether it was feeding, walking, playing, or just giving them some love and company while their owners were away. I’m comfortable with all kinds of personalities, from energetic puppies to independent cats and gentle seniors. I know how important it is to keep pets safe, happy, and on their usual routine, and I treat every animal I watch with the same care and attention I give my own. I am currently a student athlete at Indiana here all summer with my team. I did graduate last semester, so I have no classes or other responsibilities after my workouts in the mornings. I have all day after to get pets all the care and love they need without being rushed for time. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, safety, trust, and comfort are always my top priorities. I create a calm, pet friendly environment where animals can feel at ease and stick to their regular routines as closely as possible. In your home, I respect your space and follow your instructions carefully making sure feedings, walks, medications, and playtime all happen just the way your pet is used to. In my own home, I provide a clean, secure space with plenty of love, attention, and room to relax or play, depending on your pet’s needs. I always keep a close eye on their behavior and well being, and I’ll stay in touch with updates so you can feel confident your FAMILY is in caring, capable hands.

“Dani did a great job with our puppy today. She came twice and followed the instructions, which were many, to the letter. He communication was excellent and we will definitely use her again!”

“I have a little poodle she doggy sat last night! she was great, honestly my dog was super sad when she left! Would recommend cate to anyone!”

“We were happy to find the cats and chickens all well when we returned. Thank you, Stephanie.”

“I’ll keep it short and sweet. Two words can describe Kalee and her services: accommodating and caring.”

“Katie is truly amazing with animals! She’s incredibly loving and gentle with our 14-month-old kitty cat, Mali — always cuddling with her, playing, and making sure she feels safe and adored. Katie has two dogs back home, Gracie and Luna, who absolutely adore her, and she treats them like her babies. She’s constantly feeding and petting the neighborhood cats, and she lights up every time she sees an animal. Her phone is filled with thousands of photos of her furry friends — each one loved like family. Katie is kind, reliable, and has a natural, heartfelt connection with animals. You can trust her completely to care for your pets as if they were her own.”

About: I've had a passion and love for dogs for as long as I remember! Growing up, I had small dogs and medium dogs, ranging from mutts to pure breeds. Both family and friends have asked me in the past to take care of their beloved pets. Whether they swim, crawl or run, I love them all! My perfect day starts and begins with furry cuddles and kisses and I strongly believe that pets make everyone's life better :) I am currently working a full-time job in the healthcare field but would be available in the early mornings or afternoons for dog walking or sitting. I would leave your home better than when I found it and besides caring for your pet, you would never know that I was there! I am reliable, clean, and very organized, and would be willing and happy to spend time in your home if your pet prefers not to travel.

“Marisa adopted a puppy two years ago, and I have watched her develop into a fantastic dog mom these past two years. Marisa demonstrates extraordinary patience, love, and commitment to not only her dog, but all animals she meets. The first thing she does when she comes home is greet her dog, Cow, with the biggest smile. She always has time to give him plenty of love and attention. Cow has lots of special needs due to allergies, and Marisa is amazing at being accommodating and caring for anything he requires. I promise that if you hire Marisa to care for your furry friends you can expect her to provide the same level of love, attention, and care to your pets as she gives her own. I would trust her in a heartbeat to watch over my own pet, and I can guarantee you will feel the same way. Book Marisa while you can!”

About: I have been taking care of pets for a little over 2 years. I started the same time I started babysitting and nannying. I found that many families had different family pets that needed attention and care while I watched the kids! I’m currently a sophomore at IU studying Media Advertising. When I don’t have classes, I’m usually babysitting for different local families. I always make sure to organize my school schedule so it doesn’t interfere with work. I also make sure to speak with the pet owners and get proper directions and or instructions whenever I’m carrying for pets. I’ve found this and communication to be the most helpful in making sure pets are getting the proper care.

“She came at approximate time's agreed on. She was 1.5 hour late once. But I'm a little overprotective of my only feline fur child. Lol. My main irritation is she did not seem to follow feeding instructions however. I had clear instructions on everything typed up. With everything out. I know because I have caregivers who came some to check on things when she was not here. She gave my girl the dry food only apparently. And a lot of it. I do not like to feed dry food. But my girl has become very picky with eating. So I mix it up often. I had instructions for the dry, wet and freeze dried foods. I had a bag of opened food that should have lasted until my return had the instructions been followed. I bought a new bag and extra canned food so I would not have to get any food once home from my vacation. The remaining amount of the dry was not only gone but the new bag was opened and used. It appeared very little of the canned food I purchased was gone. I know Tawny does mostly boarding. But if is going to agree on drop in for cats she should follow th feeding instructions. My girl has been difficult with eating her canned food since I got home.”

“She was great! Took good care of Whiskey and answered texts in a timely manner. Will for sure ask her again to look after my cat.”

“Abby was a great dog sitter! We had to go out of town last minute and she offered to watch my dog and he had a great time with her. She let me know when she got there and left which I appreciated and communicated how my pup was doing so I didn’t worry about him. I would definitely recommend her!”
