“Abigail is very talented and very knowledgeable person. My Shepherd Harper loves spending time with her and Abigail loves her time with Harper. I would highly recommend Abigail to anyone to have her help train and take excellent care of your pets”


About: I have taken care of my own pets for all of my life. People have noticed the care and time I put into their lives and have trusted me to train and take care of of others peoples pets as well. I love walking, playing, feeding and anything you can think of with your pets. I am available pretty much every day all day except for Wednesday and Sunday morning. Feel free to contact me and work out a good time. Anything needed I can provide at clients home. Only thing I am unable to do is keep pets at my own home. Just give me details and I’ll be ready.

About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of pets my entire life. I have experience dog-sitting, cat-sitting, dog walking and even some grooming. My passionate love for animals doesn’t vary between small, large, young, or old - I love them all! I have plenty of weekend availability, but I am a student during the week, so my flexibility has been a little restricted. This summer I will have 8-10 hr days twice a week (including commute). Please reach out to see if my exact schedule will work for you! My goal is to make your furry friend feel as comfortable as possible with me. I take caution when getting to know a new animal, making sure to give them the time and space they need in order to get to know me.

About: I have taken care of many dogs even ones with medical issues and I also am very active so walking them would be no problem! I work full time but I am able to make it work , I am also doing online college so that makes it easier also! Whether or not your dogs are trained off leash, I would prefer walking them, or taking them out on their leash just in case they don’t listen and runoff!

About: Hello! I'm Karissa, and I've been an animal lover ever since I was a little girl. Growing up, my parents ran a pet shop, so I had the pleasure of being surrounded by all sorts of critters. Because of this upbringing, I've had the joy of caring for a wide range of animals, getting to know their unique needs and keeping them healthy and happy. In my own little family, we currently have three sweet cats and a playful puppy who's just six months old. We live in the lovely countryside near Festus, with a whole acre of land securely fenced for our furry pals to explore. We even have a pool, and you can trust us when we say we take pool safety seriously! We love a good game of fetch or tug of war and have been really getting into positive reinforcement training. Our puppy is even learning how to use buttons to "speak". :) I've got a soft spot for every cat and dog out there, and I'd be thrilled to look after your precious babies whenever you need a hand. I can either host them at my place or swing by your home to check in on them. Your pets' happiness and well-being are my top priorities! I can absolutely understand the importance of trust when it comes to finding the right pet sitter. So, let me assure you, I'm a dedicated and reliable professional. I'll treat your furry friends like they're part of my own family, following their routines and taking care of any special medications or dietary needs they may have. I can't wait to hear from you and meet your adorable pets! Feel free to reach out anytime. As a stay-at-home mom with older children, I have the flexibility in my schedule to accommodate your needs seamlessly! Please reach out with any questions about my availability. As mentioned earlier, our household comprises three friendly cats and a 6-month-old puppy. They are all well-accustomed to meeting new furry pals and get along famously with both dogs and cats. If necessary, we can easily arrange separate living spaces to ensure your fur-baby feels comfortable and at ease.

About: Hi! My name is Katie and I am 32 years old.. I have dog sat many times over the years for family and family friends. I have been obsessed with animals since before I can remember. Dogs are the key to happiness in my opinion!! I will never turn down an opportunity to pet a dog or cat if able. I will be sure to keep your dog or cat well taken care of with lots of love, potty breaks as needed and outside or inside play if they are energetic! I currently am a stay at home mom for my 1 year old, so I have flexibility and will be able to provide what’s needed for your fur baby to the best of my ability. I would love to get a run down of your typical day or what your animal normally requires and expects. Keeping them in a routine they are comfortable with is important and I am happy to provide that as much as I am able.

About: I used to foster dogs. My yard is pretty big and I have a doggie door. My dogs do not mind visitors. I am off work during the summer and all major holidays. I am a teacher so I am off for the summers. When school is in session, I get off early and I am usually home before 4pm. I have a fenced in yard that can be accessed by a doggie door. I have 3 small dogs. I walk them and play with them on a regular basis. I also have 2 cats.

About: What sets me apart is the level of personal care and attention I give every pet I meet. I treat them like family, not just clients. I have experience with dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies needing basic training and consistency, to senior dogs who need patience, gentle handling, and special care. I’m comfortable administering medications, working with shy or nervous pets, and adapting to each dog's individual needs. Your pet’s happiness, safety, and comfort are always my top priorities. I’m a teacher on summer break, which means I have a very open and flexible schedule to dedicate to pet care. With more time at home and fewer daily commitments, I can give your pet the attention, playtime, and companionship they deserve throughout the day. Whether it's long walks, belly rubs, or just being there to keep them company, I’m able to fully focus on their needs during the summer months. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I stick closely to their usual routines for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest to help them feel at ease. I keep a clean, pet friendly environment and always prioritize safety, whether that's securing leashes, monitoring play, or giving them their own cozy space to relax. I also make sure to send regular updates and photos so you can feel connected and confident that your pet is happy while you’re away.

About: Hello friends! I'm so happy to express my experience with you. I have had dogs and taken care of dogs my whole life. Helping my friends out is what gave me this idea. We have 4 dogs of our own, 1 cat and chickens. I'm not shy to say how much we love animals. Why choose me though? Well, it's simple. I'm doing this service because I know how important it is to HAVE to work in this economy. I know how important it is to take a vacation from all the craziness. We will be taking a vacation as well. Guess who will be watching my pets? But what about YOUR animals? I've had experience in a kennel environment and I know your animals are less stressed, less risk of disease like kennel cough, and happier being taken care of in the comfort of there own home. That's where I come in. I want to make sure your babies are safe, stress free and happy until you arrive home. Don't let your lifestyle be the reason why you couldn't have a pet or worry about them in the kennel the whole time. Having a person who loves animals like I do is the difference. It's not just a service, it's peace of mind. I currently own my own cleaning business. I love being with my children and homeschooling them. We have been going strong for a year and a half now. I love being my own boss and making my own schedule. I am picking this job up to help others and these pets. With the economy I'm seeing more and more moms having to go back to work. What about your pets? I love animals, so this is a perfect fit for me to embark on. I'm also showing my kids that a simple service makes the biggest changes in someone life. I would treat your pet the same way I do mine. With calm energy, love and happiness. These pets deserve the best. I want to make your life easier knowing your pets are being handled with care and respect.

About: I have owned, been surrounded by, or been trusted to watch dogs for most of my life. Currently only own a cat so hoping to enjoy dogs on here until I get a dog! I currently work night shift and so I am available afternoons and weekends. I’m very flexible and would love to get to know your pet soon! I try to take advantage of walks and use them as an opportunity to burn off some energy so the pup gets a nice nap after. I will do what it takes to make sure the tail is wagging next time I walk in the door.

About: I love dogs and always have. I have always had pets. We had three dogs when I was growing up and they were so much fun. I love playing with them. The dogs I had growing up were my “best friends”. When I lived in va beach I used to dog sit and house sit 2-3 times a week. I will take care of your dogs as if they were my own. I will take them out for walks let them get some exercise and ensure that they have food and water. I have done overnight sitting as well as pop ins where I have just walked and fed them. I’m available any day of the week. I look forward to working with you and your fur babies.

About: Neighbors friends and families have all relied on me to bath, walk, medicate their babies and I worked at a doggy daycare and boarding resort! I’m currently working between the vet clinic and grants farm live stock care! But my schedule has more room and I want to dedicate it to any and all animals I can! I have one dog well trained, free roam of the house, allowed on everything, potty trained and go out for his walk every day, and takes days off as he wants!

I will also follow your instructions completely and work with your needs. I believe pets our part of the family and treat them as such.

“Austin really helped out while I was on the mend and could not walk my dog. He was so good with Willow, and he worked with her so she would not pull on the leash, lunge at other dogs on her walks and get accustomed to being around other dogs. He also took the time to explain to me about getting a corrective collar for her. I will definitely contact Austin again if I need dog walking assistance.”


About: I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and small pets. Along with volunteering at a local rescue, I’m comfortable with a variety of animals and their unique needs. I care for my own dogs every day and often help friends with their pets. I also volunteer regularly at a local rescue. Pet care is a natural part of my schedule, so I’m comfortable handling different animals and their needs. I ensure pets are safe and comfortable by maintaining a clean and secure environment. Whether at my home or yours, I follow established routines and any specific instructions to provide consistent care. Communication is clear and timely to keep owners informed.

Karissa B.Star Sitter
“In my house, pets are people. They have feelings and needs. I pay attention, and look out for them as they look out for me. Karissa not only gets this concept, it is entirely the way she interacts with other people’s pets. When I go away, and cannot bring pets along, I don’t have to worry about paying a premium just to get an extra bit of time in the outdoors, additional cuddles or treats, or for remote cameras to check on them. I know that Karissa will treat them like I would, and that makes it one less worry to bring along on vacation.”

I highly recommend her and she is very trustworthy!”

Kerri H.
“Kerri watched our two Doberman pinchers lina and scarlet.It started out every once in a while but they were so comfortable we began a reoccurring booking with her. She is amazing and cares so much about our dogs. She sent photos to us regularly and always made us feel very comfortable having them in her care. The dogs always looked so relaxed in the photos she sent. We recently moved away so we don’t have her watching the dogs anymore but we miss her so much. We left them overnight multiple times as well when me and/or my husband had to travel for work. They loved going over to Kerri’s house and always came back home happy. If you want your dog(s) to be treated with amazing care let Kerri watch them. She won’t disappoint.”
