Cat Sitting in Kirksville

“Rachael was great! She accommodated us last minute. She was friendly, responded promptly, followed instructions, and sent photos and updates daily. She even checked our mail for us because I forgot to put it on hold. I would definitely recommend her!”

“Angela was great with our kitties, Zeus and Aurora. She was friendly, caring and awesome at taking care of their food and litter boxes. Our boy showed his belly for petting and our girl, typically shy, came out for visits. Our cats were happy, so we're happy. Angela is trust-worthy, dependable and a great animal caretaker. We would highly recommend her.”

“Cindy was wonderful with my cat, Snowball! I'd definitely trust her and would recommend her to anyone needing a loving pet sitter!”

About: I grew up taking care of my insane beagle Scout, as well as some of the other neighborhood dogs at times. I used to “show” dogs for 4H. 🍀 My schedule is pretty flexible so I will be able to adjust it to be as available for your pets as you need me to be. 🐾 I love to play with pets and take dogs for walks. I’ll do my best to make sure they stay out of trouble while you’re gone and I will clean the house really nicely upon your return :-)

“Kailey was awesome! Sammy love her and seem to learn to quit jumping on people while he was there. Definitely will use Kailey again.”

“I could tell how much Isabella loves animals and was completely confident that she would take the very best care of my baby girl. Willow was in good hands and I will definitely book Isabella again.”

About: I have had experience with caring for animals my whole life. I have experience training puppies and older dogs as well. I am well experienced with senior dogs! I also have experience in grooming/bathing different breeds of dog, if that is something you would be interested in. I am experienced with cats, horses, guinea pigs and a variety of reptiles. I have volunteered at my local animal shelter, caring for several cats and dogs. I have also completed veterinary science/ animal science classes to learn more about animals in general. Over time I notice that animals sense people, most animals love me and sense that I am a genuine, caring person right off the bat. I don’t have a very busy schedule. I am not employed, so I have a lot of time to care for your fur babies. I am an online student at NKU. So I do all of my school work at home! I have a large fenced in area in the back of my yard. I have large/medium/small kennels if needed for boarding. I will spend a lot of pictures too!

“Emily went above and beyond to make sure our kitties were safe and warm when extreme cold temperatures come through when we were out of town. Emily is very responsible and reliable. Highly recommend!”

About: With over 5 years of hands-on experience as a veterinary and kennel technician, I bring a deep understanding of animal care, behavior, and health to every pet I look after. Animals have always been a huge part of my life – I’ve been involved in animal rescue for as long as I can remember, and caring for pets isn’t just a job to me, it’s a lifelong passion. Whether it’s walking an energetic pup, caring for a senior pet with special needs, or just giving your furry friend some extra love while you’re away, I provide compassionate, reliable, and knowledgeable care every step of the way. You can trust that your pet will be treated like family in my care. I have experience with exotics and farm animals! I also have my wildlife rehabilitation license. Let’s connect – I’d love to meet you and your pets! I have four pets myself. A Chow, a Doberman, and two cats. My “hobbies” and “activities” include animals. I do animal rescue every day of my life, happily. I exercise, hike, or walk the track of Lake Reba every day with my fur babies and would love to take yours! My pets are on a routine. They go outside to the restroom around every 1-4 hours, other than when I am at work. I feed my pets once in the morning and then before bed.. I’m strict and stay on schedule, never late!

“Excellent communication! Sarah came and did a few drop-in visits while I was out of town. She gave me great updates everyday. Will definitely book with her again!”

About: Dogs aren’t just pets—they’re family, and that’s exactly how I’ll treat yours. I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have hands-on experience with both playful puppies and seasoned seniors. As a full-time sitter, your dog will get my full attention with frequent walks, fun adventures, and plenty of love and playtime in my yard. I’ll make sure your pup feels safe, happy, and right at home—because when they’re with me, they’re part of the family. As someone who stays home full-time and only works a few days a week, pet care naturally fits into my daily life. I have plenty of time, flexibility, and energy to give each pet personalized attention—whether that means morning walks, medication schedules, playtime in the yard, or just cozy companionship throughout the day. Your pet won’t be left alone or on a tight schedule—they’ll be part of a calm, loving home where their needs come first. When caring for pets in your home, I treat your space with respect and maintain your pet’s familiar environment to reduce stress. I stick to their usual schedule, including meals, medications, and playtime, while providing companionship and supervision. Whether at your home or mine, your pet’s well-being and happiness are my top priorities.

“We love having Finnley check in on our cats when we are out of town! She is reliable, very communicative, and goes above and beyond to ensure our kitties are well looked after. Highly recommend!”

About: Special experience: -bottle feeding babies -medication administration -senior and palliative care -basic dog training (not certified) -caring for injuries and wounds -soothing anxious dogs I don’t just want a side gig watching your animals. I want to connect with and actively have fun with each baby I get to meet. I have had at least 1 pet every moment of my life. I currently have 2 dogs and 2 cats and all together live with 3 of each in my current home. Everyone deserves to know their fur babies are safe and happy. I provide consistent updates and pictures as often as you like. Feel free to ask about any special requests, I am quite flexible and am even open to bartering services. We will work together to find something that makes everyone happy! With 6 pets currently under my roof I am already constantly taking care of them in some way. It’s easy for me to add yours without any hiccups. Each pet has their own personality and I find it important to listen to what they are trying to tell me. I can cuddle all day or give lots of space and I have pets that like both so it is easy for me to adjust to varying needs.

About: I have cared for my own dogs and cats for over 40 years. I have not done this professionally, other than helping out friends and families while on vacation. I will go above and beyond to make sure your pet and home is cared for while you are away. If there are gatherings I am usually the one hanging out with the dogs/cats and keeping them at ease when there are a bunch of people around. I am available early mornings and late afternoons and evenings and most weekends I am available any hours...but I have some flexibility to meet other needs. In our yard I try to train them to stay in the yard. I have done leash yard training but typically let them run around. When had a fence yard I typically left my dogs out as much as possible.

About: I've been working with dogs since I was 9 years old. It started at a summer camp located at my local shelter and at home with our own dogs. At 18 I helped foster 2-week-old kittens that were born in our front yard and abandoned by their mom. I have worked with many different dogs and have been house sitting since I was 16 years old with different types of dogs and different care levels, from needing to give elderly dogs medication to hyper puppies who need lots of play time. I fit in Pet care into my daily routine by waking up at a specific time every morning to take care my own dog out for a morning potty break, then it is breakfast time, then an hour after is a morning walk, after I have lunch is a shorter afternoon walk and before dinner is an evening walk, with several potty breaks scattered reasonably every 3 hours to make sure. Sometimes I take my own dog on small hikes or to the dog park to get some more socialization in. Outside of my hobbies and schooling pet care is my life. This does depend on what I am hired for, if I am hired for potty breaks and play time then I do just that, I arrive at the home, let the dog out to go potty, take a walk play with some toys. If I am housesitting, then I follow the schedule the owners have their dogs on as to not disrupt the dog's stability.

About: *** Right now I'm offering discounted rates, through the month of July! *** ***Also for first time Rover users you can use this link to get an additional discount! https://www.rover.com/sit/toril81806*** I've been working with dogs and cats since I was 10. I am very capable when it comes to house sitting, washing, walking, basic obedience, trick training, crate training, potty training, and free shaping. I'm excited to help you and your pet. Whether it be a energetic puppy or a senior dog that may need a slower approach, I am here for all your pet needs. I am comfortable with both reactive dogs and multi dog households. Depending on what you'd like to achieve in a session I can bring my own equipment or use yours. My schedule shifts from week to week. I'm generally free Monday through Thursday. I prefer afternoons/evenings, but can make mornings work if they better fit your schedule. Check ahead with me to see if I can do multi-week stays. I will leave care up to the owners discretion. I have a well trained dog that I can bring over if your dog prefers to play with other dogs. I understand that not every dog wants to be friends with other dogs. I've found being in a familiar place while their owner is gone can be comforting for the pet. Whether your pet is a high energy herding dog or a low energy senior dog I will be there to care for them to the best of my ability.

“He took a good care of my cat.”
