“I was traveling through the area with my 4 legged son Ruger and had a noodling tripped scheduled last minute and needed a sitter for him. Stephen was quick to respond and willing to hang out with Ruger for the day. I had an unforeseen incident which caused me to need to push the pick up time out a couple hours and Stephen was very understanding and flexible!”
“I was terrified to return to work after working from home when I got a new job. Rick made it easy! He made me feel comfortable leaving my girl with him. He is easy to work with, communicates well, and most of all loves my Rona like I do. Rona is anxious and has separation anxiety. After regular using Rick she is excited to be dropped off every morning. Rick is prompt in the mornings to meet us in the drive way which is a huge help for me getting to work on time. I would recommend Rick for all your dog related needs. I couldn't be happier with the experience. Rona and I love him!”
About: As a former certified veterinary technician with 15 plus years in the veterinary field I am Well-versed in giving any kind of medication’s or injectables. Able to identify any issues that might arise. I am trained in pet CPR and first aid. I have experience with all ages, types and breeds of dogs. From puppies to seniors and from chihuahuas to retrievers. I am ready to learn your pets routines and quirks to give them the best and most comfortable experience in their new “home away from home”. I work in the home and can let pets out every 1-2 hours if needed. As frequently as the pet needs require. I wake as early as 6 AM and can let them out right before bed at 10 PM. I am able to give any medications that are needed as many times a day as required. I provide a safe fenced in backyard with direct supervision throughout the day to cater to their energy and potty break needs. I am able to give updates daily with pictures and videos to give you peace of mind of how your pet’s stay is going. At EM kennels your pet is our pet during their stay with us.
About: I have taken care for pets since I was 16. Usually for friends and family. I feel ready to expand and care for others’ pets. I grew up around dogs and cats and have always known that I love them. I’m entering my senior year of college for education. I run track for semo, leaving me with lots of time to care for your pets. I don’t have a fenced yard but I live on a very safe street where many walks can be provided. I also can easily crate your pet if needed. I don’t mind to travel to a park to get some running in .
About: I have owned dogs for over 18 years. I currently have 3 girls, Bella, Pearl, and Penny. I love taking them for walks and playing with them and snuggling them. I am a mature and responsible dog owner and I will take care of yours like they are my own! I work part time so I am available to check in on your pets at your home or spend time with them if they come to stay at my house. My family loves having extra furry friends come stay and my dogs like making new friends too! I know how to block a door and not let an excited pup out without a leash! I am used to my dogs pulling in different directions and I am confident that I will not let your dog get away from me while on a walk.
About: I love all dogs more than anything in this world! I met my first soulmate when I got my dog, Patches, who I still have and is currently 5 years old. I can train dogs, any type of training you can think of. And you can ensure this place as a safe haven for your furry friend while here at the Hilton! 😝 I’m currently working at UPS as a seasonal support delivery driver. But it’s only temporary until after the new year. I do work Monday-Saturday right now but i leave my house around 9:30-10 and am always home by 3:00 p.m. But while im gone there will always be another person here to watch after your dog, i.e., my dad, or my mom. I have a big fenced in yard. It is an 8 ft chain link fence so they will get plenty of exercise. I have 2 dogs that can keep your furry friend company! But if you’re dog isn’t really into other dogs, I do have a seperate area that’s just as big and also fenced in with an 8 ft Chain link fence all around! So they could either be with my dogs or seperate from my dogs!
“Huckleberry had a wonderful time with Leann. She is such a nice person and I completely trust her taking care of Huck. I would definitely recommend her to anyone. Not only did I find an amazing person to take care of my puppy when I’m away, but I think I made a new friend too! Thank you!”
About: I grew up with a houseful of dogs and I’ve had my own since I was 14. I am a remote employee with a house and a fenced in backyard that would love to take care of your fur baby for you! I’ve been pet sitting for friends and family for over 10 years and have experience with giving meds, senior care, potty training, and puppies! I am a remote employee so I’ll be home all day with your pet! I have a large finished basement and a large fenced in backyard so your pet will have plenty of room to roam, play, and rest while in my care. I have cameras in all areas so I can check on them if I have to step away! I have a fenced In yard and a large home. I have a 1 year old spayed Husky named Luna that gets along well with everyone! She loves to play and make new friends. I work from home so your pet would not be left alone for an extended time during their stay!
About: With over 35 years of experience, I know our companions hold the energy to heal the Earth. I simply hope for the opportunity to share their vibe and the balance they bring. Each day is thoughtfully scheduled to provide the best possible experience for your companion, with healthy meals and treats offered throughout the day. We enjoy everything from weekly outings and pack walks to monthly opportunities to merge with or expand the pack. My pack is currently based in a 2-bedroom duplex on 5 acres of land, with full access to the entire property. Your companion will experience exercise, leadership, and love—if you choose to join our pack.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 15. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets and take care of their houses. Rover is currently my job and main source of income therefor I will have plenty of time during the week and weekend to watch and play with the babies. I currently live in an apartment so I have a dog treadmill on hand for any dog that needs a little more exercise than my yard can give, but we will always go on daily walks and park trips to get out our energy and have fun.
About: I’ve always loved animals since I was a little girl hence my dream has always been to open a dog sanctuary. So if I am not out helping/saving animals I love to open my door and a safe place for animal owners that need a place for their baby to stay. I treat every dog as if it were my own as I am a dog mama myself! I work from home full-time & it is very slow a majority of the day which gives me time throughout the day to be attentive to your baby’s needs I live in an apartment that is pretty spacious for the dog and it is a nice neighborhood to take a walk. Your baby will be allowed to sit on the couch and watch tv with me ❤️
