“This is our 2nd time entrusting our beloved dog (and house) with Lucas. He is such a good caretaker! We were out of the country for a week over spring break and we received updates with pictures at least twice a day! Already planning a future trip and will rebook.”
“Danielle did a great job house and cat sitting. She asked questions for clarification, sent us updates regularly, and left the house in great shape. From the photos, it seems our cat was really comfortable with her and Elle took the time to get to know our cat’s personality. She will be sitting for us again and I highly recommend her.”
“Liane was very accommodating on short notice and great with my pets. She made sure my pets felt comfortable in their own home and took time to give me updates. I will recommend and book with her again in the future. :)”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my adaptability and genuine love for dogs of all temperaments. Having grown up with dogs, I’m comfortable meeting the needs of both high-energy pups who thrive on long walks and active play, as well as laid-back dogs who prefer quiet companionship. Whether it’s exercise, cuddle time, or simply keeping their routine consistent, I tailor my care to match each dog’s personality so they feel happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. Currently, I’m a graduate student looking to fill my free time meeting new furry friends. I will have availability some mornings and afternoons, as well as most evenings and weekends. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat the space with the same respect I give my own, always aiming to leave it better than I found it. I’m organized and clean, making sure feeding areas and toys are tidy, and I follow your instructions closely to meet your pet’s needs. I stay attentive and mindful so your pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their familiar environment.
About: I’ve been taking care of my own animals for about a year now, which includes a puppy and three cats. I’ve worked on crate training my puppy as well as general care and maintenance of all my pets. I would love to look after your animals when I’m not working or at school - giving them all the time, love, and comfort in the world. In my client’s home, I will work on making sure we have established boundaries of taking your animal out and what routines need to be maintained while I look after your animals.
“Katie was an incredible dog sitter. She took excellent care of our pups while we were gone and sent regular updates. Our puppies were safe and happy when we returned. We are safe grateful to have found her and will definitely rebook.”
About: I’ve had pets my entire life growing up. I’ve trained my dog up to show dog standards for 5 years as a hobby. I have house sat for many of our close friends families. I am currently working part time, so I will have plenty of time to care for your for babies. I am free for housesitting every day of the week. And I am available to attend to you pets need around the clock. I have two dogs and two cats of my own and they are my world. We often enjoy long hikes and exploring new toys and places together. Mine and your pets safety and well being are my number one priority.
About: I’ve taken care of my childhood dog and gecko for years growing up, and I potty trained & pet sat for 4 months for my brother’s puppy. I’ve babysat kids before and much prefer dogs!! Because I work remote, I have the flexibility take breaks during my workday to go on walks/take care of personal things/etc so dog sitting would fit in great with my schedule! I treat all animals and homes like my own! I’ve house sat before, and I’ve pet sat before, and I’m more than happy to combine both of those things! I like to bounce around and it makes me happy to be in new spaces. Give me a to-do list around the house, for your pet, etc and I’m game!
About: I’ve taken care of my own dogs since before I can remember and I watch my parents dogs on trips quite often. I also watch other friends dogs as well as I’ve done some overnight house sitting! I am a nurse part time and doing online school. I have two dogs of my own but can stay overnight at your house if needed! I work nights so getting up with puppies and what not does not bother me one bit. I am available to watch overnight as well as during the week. I am willing to do medications as well as walks and play time! I usually can let the dogs out by 3-4 hours max!
About: I grew up on a farm so I've always been around animals! That ranging from, cows, horses, goats, many dogs, cats, bird and guinea pigs! I love all animals and treat them like my own. I currently work a full-time job. I will be able to provide enough time for your animals and give them the love and attention they require. I live on a 20 acre farm that has plenty of room to run and play! I also have two dogs myself that love all the attention I'm able to give them.
“Alivia took good care of our pets while we were gone overnight. Three pups and two cats can be a lot to manage when they all have their quirks and issues. She was communicative and sent us pictures. Would recommend and we’d book her again if needed!”
About: I had two dogs, one since I was ten years old, and I loved taking care of them! I also have a pet corn snake who I adore and work hard to care for! I did an internship at the AMCMA over a summer and got lots of healthcare experience. I have foster experience with CMHS and would love to take care of another animal! Additionally, I worked with Columbia Canine Sports Center for a class and helped with basic obedience and puppy socialization classes! I'm a student at Mizzou, so I have a bit of a challenging schedule. I'm free before 9 a.m. every day except Saturdays, and free after 3 p.m. on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. I'm free all day on Sundays and after 11 a.m. on Saturdays! I am willing to play, groom, train, or just cuddle! I can provide veterinary care for your babies as well with my experience and am able to go on walks as long as the weather isn't too extreme, in which case I can find other ways to get that energy out. I love all breeds, ages, shapes, and sizes and I am willing to take care of any personality!
About: I have taken care of pets all my life! I grew up with multiple dogs in the house (and some cats) and have always been obsessed with animals! I’ve even fostered the last couple years and gotten to know a plethora of breeds and temperaments! I currently work part-time and would have plenty of time to prioritize your pet! I would include them in everything I do and always inform you of our every move. I have a back yard and a car if transportation of your pet is needed. I have multiple rooms where your furry friend can choose to be on a couch with company or in his crate by himself.
“My boys absolutely adored Kamryn. She stayed at our house while we were out of town and was so sweet. She updated us about how the dogs were and kept them entertained. The house was tidy and I could tell the dogs were well taken care of. Definitely recommend Kamryn! This was the first time I have left the boys with someone other than a family member and her care of them eased all of my anxiety!!”
About: I’ve had a deep love for animals since I was a kid, and I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 7 years old. My first dog was a beloved member of our family for 12 wonderful years, and since then we have welcomed three more pups into our lives. One of them is my own, Nala, a pitbull mix who is truly my entire world. I have experience with dogs of all ages, including geriatric dogs and those needing regular medication. In addition to dogs, I’ve had rabbits since I was 11. My current bunny, Minnette, will be 14 this August after losing her bonded partner in 2021. I’ve also regularly cat sat for friends and family and am comfortable with feline care. Over the years I’ve rescued many dogs and volunteered at the Animal Protective Association, also known as APA, in St. Louis where I gained hands-on experience with a wide variety of breeds and temperaments. I have a particular interest in dog body language and behavior. I love learning how to make animals feel safe, understood, and happy. Whether your pet is playful, shy, elderly, or energetic, I will be attentive to their unique needs and treat them like family. I just graduated college at Mizzou, and am taking a gap year before I begin graduate school next fall! This means I have plenty of time and my schedule is wide open to care for your pets. <3 I have always been an avid animal lover-- not even just dogs, but all sorts of pets! I have had my bunny since she was 1 year old and I was 11, and she is now about to turn 14 next month! I have also had dogs since I was 7 years old! I grew up with my childhood dog, Louie for 12 years. Now, I have my own dog, Nala. I have had her for about 3 years now, and I consider myself to be a helicopter parent (ask anyone haha)! With that being said, I am ALWAYS paying attention to details, instructions, and am very vigilant about making sure your pet is getting everything they need. As I do with my own pets, I will give that same attention and dedication to yours!

“Megan did a great job and we came home to happy healthy pets. She communicated well and made sure we were up to date with all the info we needed.”
Audrie K.
“Audrie takes care of my 3 cats when I am away on vacation as they prefer to stay in their own home environment. She takes time to provide the love and affection that they need. Each one has different instructions on what they like with food, play or affection. Often times the cats will hide and be scared of anything (storms, doorbell, loud environments, strangers) and she spends time to seek them out to ensure they are safe and healthy while I am away. I enjoy that she takes photos and sends them to me of each cat! She really understands and knows how to care for cats. She gives me a peace of mind so I can enjoy my time away!”

“Alexis was a great communicator, gladly received feedback, and went above and beyond. She left her house very clean. Would happily book again.”
Kiley G.
“I had an incredible experience with Kiley as my dog-sitter!!! From the moment we met I could tell she was a loving, caring person - and Ryder felt the same way. She was very calm with him at first to let him get used to her, which was wonderful to see even though Ryder immediately loved her and is a social ball of energy. (But I can say with complete confidence that even if your dog is shy or doesn't warm up to people quickly, she would be the best person to care for them.) Kiley was extremely receptive to the fact that I was still training him; I told her that we were practicing not letting him jump when he meets people, so she didn't pet him until he sat down, we went through some commands while I was home and I am 100% sure that she worked with him while I was gone like I'd requested because he was just as good (if not better) with his training as when I left. This is not your typical early 20s dog sitter... this girl took NOTES on his routine and training, she folded the blankets and washed the dishes that she used while staying at my home. I was stunned. She was better than some of my friends who had stayed over in the past haha. Kiley is an entrepreneur who is grinding to make her business happen, a place for new musicians to practice I think... look it up or talk to her about it if you play, it sounded super cool) so HIRE HER because the money is going to amazing things and an amazing women and you can rest assured your furry friend will be in the best care possible!”
Leah D.
“With my personal experience being around leah and pets she is very passionate about animals and loves all dogs. She is very patient with new dogs and will make sure their needs are always met. She will most definitely enjoy taking your dog out for a walk and giving your animals the attention they need. Anyways I will always trust leah with my 2 dogs with out thinking twice about if they are safe and happy because with her I know they are!”

“Caitlin does a great job at caring for pets! They have a ton of experience working/taking care of animals both in a clinic and home setting. They take care of my cat whenever I’m not there and my cat loves them :) I never have to worry when I’m not home to care for my cat because Caitlin does a great job of ensuring she is happy and well cared for each time.”
Audrey W.
“Audrey has been an incredible caregiver for my mini dachshund since he was just a few months old. She’s consistently kind, responsible, and truly loving with him. I always feel at ease knowing he’s in her care—she follows all instructions carefully and treats him like her own. I highly recommend Audrey to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter!”
