Cat Sitting in Lone Elm

“Elle has an obvious knack with animals. Our older cat is usually reserved with strangers but instantly loved her. All of our animals do. Elle has been so easy to communicate with. We will absolutely book again in the future.”

About: As a lifelong animal lover with over 34 years of experience caring for dogs and cats, I understand how much your pets mean to you. I'm committed to giving them the same love, safety, and personalized attention they get at home. Plus, I'm certified in pet first aid and trained in positive reinforcement techniques, so you can trust your furry friends are in good hands Caring for pets isn't just part of my routine; it's my absolute joy! My days are all about making sure these furry friends get the love, exercise, and attention they deserve. Mornings kick off with walks or potty breaks, followed by feeding and playtime. Throughout the day, I fit in more walks, drop-ins, or daycare sessions tailored to each pet's unique needs. One of the best parts? My home has an amazing acre of fenced-in yard where pets can run free and play to their heart's content. Plus, I've even installed a DIY doggy door so they can come and go as they please. It's the perfect setup for them to feel right at home. Evenings are all about longer walks, cuddles, and winding down together before bed. On a weekly basis, I make sure to balance pet care with my personal schedule, so I'm always available for your pets, whether it's during the week or on weekends. My goal is to create a safe, loving space where pets feel like they're part of the family. For me, pet care isn't just a job—it's my passion! I have a fenced yard and one high energy pup to keep your dog company or if they are a low energy type even better cuz then they can hang out with me I have a fenced yard and one high-energy pup who can keep your dog company. If your dog is more low-energy, that's great too—they can hang out with me and be my buddy. No one is ever left feeling lonely here. My home is a lot like a dog park, with plenty of fenced in outside space for them to enjoy. If your dog does well at the dog park, I’m confident they’ll thrive with me!

“Lucas stayed with our cats over Thanksgiving and was really kind and kept us up to date on what was happening at home while we were on our trip! The cats were very happy!”

About: I am a veterinary student and have extensive experience caring for animals in many capacities. I am comfortable working with dogs of all sizes and cats. I have classes during the day most days, but will be able to either drop by in early morning or afternoon/evening! I am more thank happy to work with times as long as I have sufficient notice. I will follow any guideline you set for your animals in order to keep them safe. I will not give them anything unapproved, and I am familiar with signs of distress or illness in animals. This will help me to make sure your pet is doing well in my time watching them.

“Excellent service. Worked with me when I sent a booking request for an hour later. Had no issues booking and she responded quickly and didn’t hassle me for the last minute booking. My pets were happy, healthy, and well cared for! Even the photos she took looked so professional, I love them.”

“Jennifer was very good with my 2 very shy cats. She figured out calling them didn't work. Instead, she would sit quietly and let their curiosity get the better of them. She sent me pictures every day--so nice to see. Plan to make her our regular pet sitter!”

About: Hi! I’ve been around animals my whole life—literally. I grew up on a ranch so caring for animals is second nature to me. I started volunteering with Operation Pets Alive when I was just 7 years old, and ever since then, animals have held a huge place in my heart. I have a sweet cat of my own named Rue, and I’m always the go-to pet sitter for my friends and family. Whether it’s playtime, snuggles, or just making sure your pets feel safe and loved while you’re away, I’ve got it covered! I work part time (mostly 2:30-6) but when i’m not at work im free to come help out! I’m always down to either take a good long walk around the block or just keep your pets some company! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, their safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I make sure they have a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where they feel secure and loved. I follow all care instructions closely—feeding schedules, medications, routines—and keep a close eye on their behavior to make sure they’re happy and healthy. I’m also big on communication, so you’ll always get regular updates and photos while you’re away. Your pets will be treated like family, because that’s what they deserve!

About: I am a registered veterinary technician that is very passionate taking care of animals. I have 20 yrs of experience working in emergency and critical care, caring for dogs and cats that are very sick and need to be cared for. I am very comfortable caring for healthy dogs/cats or pets that need medications or special care. I work full time, but want to work around my schedule to make Rover work! I would not be able to bring your pet to my house due to I have a German shepherd that takes a while to warm up to.

About: I grew up on a farm where our pets were always family members and treated with love and respect. I have two rescue dogs myself. I am happy to keep my dogs separated from clients. I am fortunate that my parents have a farm and welcome their grand pups in case of overlaps in sittings. My girls do great with most other pets, however I understand every animal has their own personality and comfort zone. I respect and do things on the owner and the pet’s terms. I strive to provide an experience where you feel you are leaving your loved ones with people who care as much as you. I worked the corporate world since college and decided I would take a break and enjoy a summer with my own fur babies. I have always been the go-to dog sitter for close friends and family. I quickly received more requests by word of mouth with my flexible schedule this summer. I am currently working on starting my own company for pet products making my schedule open and flexible! I live in Boonville, MO. I attend regularly conservation areas, dog parks, and my parents wooded farm outside of Glasgow, MO. My home is an apartment. I have an outdoor deck with stairs that access a private fenced in area that is pet safe. My home is equipped with a dog door for my own pups to use at their leisure along with security cameras. Plus I am only a block from Katy Trail access!

About: I’m already excited to meet you and your pets! I’ve been a massage therapist for over 17yrs, so I give premium pets. Along with that is high standards for care which will includes keeping up to date with CPR/First Aide training. I currently have a grandpa puggle (15yrs old) and young kitty myself. Just like in a massage, snoring, drooling, or farting are all compliments of good care and I look forward to the same with fur clients. I recently moved back to Mid-MO and looking for extra jobs to supplement my massage therapy career. I especially like being busy in the mornings. I have a fenced in yard with one dog and three cats. I love following directions for pet care. Give me all the lists and details! Our own pets have various schedules and diets.
