“Aaryn was amazing with my pup, very thorough during my week long house-sit. Provided plenty of pictures/updates while I was gone, and made me feel secure with leaving my little boy!”

About: Hi there! I’m Citara – a single mom with a big heart for animals! I know how important it is to have someone you trust with your furry family members. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or cozy visits with your cat, I treat every pet like my own. Reliable, caring, and flexible – I’m here when you need me. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I have flexible availability, especially during evenings and weekends. I currently work during the day part of the week, but I’m available most afternoons, evenings, and weekends for pet sitting or walking. I love being around animals, so spending time caring for pets is something I truly enjoy and make time for. It’s not just a side job—it’s something that brings me peace and purpose. I provide pet care in the comfort of the client’s home because I believe pets feel most safe and relaxed in their own environment. I follow all routines and instructions carefully—from feeding and walks to playtime and medications—so your pet’s day stays as normal as possible. I treat every home with respect and every pet with patience, love, and attention. Safety and trust are my top priorities, and I always make sure your pet is secure, happy, and well cared for while you're away.

“I needed to find a pet sitter quickly, and she willingly agreed. She took amazing care of my dogs. She sent updates and asked concerning questions that showed me she was not only watching them but really caring for them. So happy to have her watch my dogs.”


About: I’ve been around animals my entire life, and animals hold a special place in my heart . I’m currently a Pre-Veterinary student at the University of Central Missouri, and for the past five years, I’ve worked as a veterinary assistant at Pleasant Hill Animal Clinic, where my dad is a veterinarian. I’ve also been pet sitting for the past two years, caring for pets of all ages—from playful 10-month-old to sweet 12-year-old seniors. I have experience administering medications, including insulin injections for diabetic dogs, and I always make sure each pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for. I truly consider the dogs I care for as part of my extended family, and I can’t wait to meet your furry best friend and give them the same love and attention I’d give my own. I currently work part-time as a veterinary assistant, and I’m typically available every day except Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday. On those days, I occasionally have morning or afternoon availability, and I’m always available after 6 PM. I offer in-home care, boarding, and drop-in visits. Even on my busiest days, I always have a lunch break, so I’m never away from pets in my care for more than six hours at a time. Your pet’s comfort and well-being are my top priority, and I strive to provide dependable, loving care at all times. I have a fully fenced yard and one friendly Great Dane who can be easily kenneled or separated as needed. My home also features a dedicated, dog-proofed room that’s perfect for free roaming and playtime. Whether your pup prefers quiet relaxation or active engagement, I’m able to provide a safe, comfortable, and enriching environment tailored to their needs.

About: Residing on a farm with open running space or enclosed electrical fencing for outside time, animals are sure to love their farm life experience. My husband and I have trained our own dogs to respond to basic commands: sit, shake, stay, come, and no. We have around 600 birds (chickens, guineas, ducks), 10 goats, and 2 Great Pyrenees girls (unaltered) that predominately reside outside. We also have 5 cats that are indoor outdoor and every other week our 16 and 10 y.o. boys are here to provide extra attention to animals visiting. We have also cared for animals at the end of life phase, moving at a slower pace and needing that extra assistance to get around. I currently work an 8 hour shift commuting to STL Monday-Friday. I work for the MO Army National Guard full-time, to include one weekend a month. My Husband’s full time job is taking care of the farm. He is predominately on farm, or not too far out if he is away. Caring for additional animals will fit like a glove into the animal schedule we currently operate on any given day. Caring for our own pets consist of daily feedings. There is always dry food out for all animals. The dogs and cats get wet food once a day, typically in the evening. The cats get attention when they want it. The dogs get released out of the fence a couple times a week to run the land under human supervision. They will also be let inside for short periods of time as we work on training them with inside manners, not to mention, one of the girls is terrified of thunder storms. Our animals are pampered with treats, attention, and full on conversations. They are more than animals around here, they’re family!

“Abby was amazing! She took fantastic care of our girl, and even took some time to give our cat (whom she was not watching) attention. Timely, and tidy as well! She rocks and you won't regret trusting her with the job!”


About: I have been taking care of various different pets since I was 16. I worked in a classroom with reptiles, fuzzy pets, and fish. I was taught specially how to take care of all types of pets. Over the summer I worked at a dog daycare from June till November. There I learned how to watch and pick up after various breeds of dogs. I am a senior in high school and a full time athlete. I am only free on weekends but I will always be eager to help. I am very comfortable working with all breeds of dogs. I will be able to keep your babies company while also insuring their safety. I am well equipped in basic vet safety measures.

“Caitlin has been our sitter for several years and we are so happy we found her! She is reliable and makes sure to send pictures of our pups which we love to see! Highly recommend!”


About: Hello! My name is Ashley, I am a "retired" Veterinary Technician of 12+ years, 3 of which I was managing the practice. I have three kiddos, ages 9, 10 and 13. I am qualified, and have fantastic references. I live in Oak Grove, but can travel within a 20 mile radius or so. I am currently unavailable Monday-Wednesday. If you are needing pet care Thursday-Sunday, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me! My schedule is pretty flexible. I do not have a fenced yard, however, we are a very active family, so if your pets enjoy walks, we have a walking trail at our apartments!

“Stephany was absolutely amazing with our dogs. I found her two days before we left for vacation. She came and met our dogs before the house sitting started. I was a little worried because I’ve never left our dogs to be cared for by someone else and we have a king Shepherd who is pretty territorial and not always friendly to unknown people. He took right to her along with our other two dogs. She sent text messages and pictures/videos daily with updates on how the dogs were. She even brushed them out for us, vacuumed the living room and cleaned up. Super happy with how well she took care of our fur babies while we were gone. Would absolutely recommend her and use her again when we leave town!”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was a child. I’ve given insulin to diabetic cats and can give pills to pets if needed. I’m free every day except for Wednesdays because I help teach youth group at our local church. I can work overnights and holidays if needed. I keep an eye on pets at all times, especially when given outside time, and make sure to keep anything unsafe way from them. I give frequent potty and playtime breaks so there’s not much time for boredom.

About: I have had dogs all my life and always thought of them as family! I have worked with Great Danes, labs, pitbulls, dachshunds, and Yorkies. I currently have a 2 year old black bully mix named Patrick, he's my best friend and shotgun rider! I have trained him in: stay, leave it, here/come, spin, between (going between legs), leg weaving, giving kisses and of course high five! I am a professional weightlifter and don't mind handling big dogs. I am available after 3:00PM on Wednesdays and Thursdays and free anytime on weekends! I can cover most holidays too! I will always do my best to accommodate emergency situations as well. In my home, Patrick is part of the family and is treated as such. He gets spoiled with treats and love. Inform me of any food allergies or food preferences of your dog as I love to make lick bowls / lick mats! I also have experience with cats and would love to provide the same care and mental stimulation to them as well! I have also owned reptiles and learned how to build a relationship with them by respecting boundaries in learning their body language.

Citara J.
“I’ve known Citara J. for years, and I can honestly say she’s one of the most dependable, caring, and thoughtful people I know—especially when it comes to animals. She has a natural way with pets, always patient, gentle, and attentive to their needs. Whether it’s playing with high-energy pups or making shy animals feel safe, Citara just gets them. I’ve seen her care for dogs as if they were her own—always making sure they’re walked, fed, cuddled, and most of all, happy. She’s incredibly responsible, quick to notice when something’s off, and genuinely loves being around animals. Any pet in her care is going to be loved, safe, and well taken care of. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to leave my own pets with her, and I know any other pet parent would feel the same.”
