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 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!
“Liane did a wonderful job taking care of our 2 cats. She was available on short notice and made time to come meet and greet ahead of time. Highly recommend and will request again in the future.”
About: Hi, I’m Maggie, a lifelong animal lover with a soft spot for every tail wag and purr. I have experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, personalities, and energy levels. Whether your pet needs long walks, playtime, or just a cozy cuddle buddy, I’ll treat them like family. I’m reliable, communicative, and always focused on your pet’s safety and happiness. Can’t wait to meet your furry friend! I’m currently transitioning out of the military and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give your pet my full attention. Since I’m not working a traditional 9–5 right now, I can easily accommodate walks and drop-ins including last-minute bookings. Whether your pet stays in your home or mine, I provide a safe, clean, and loving environment. I follow your care instructions closely—meals, walks, meds, or snuggles—and do my best to keep their routine consistent so they feel comfortable and secure. I’ll keep you updated with regular photos and messages, so you always know how your pet is doing.
“Ashley is a great pet sitter. She watched our older cat and gave him his medicine every day and lots of lap time. She met with us in advance to discuss all the needs. Highly recommend!”
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.
“Brooke did a great job! I had a short notice, first-time booking and she replied quickly and was awesome with my two large dogs (one who is senior and needs daily pain medication). Ended up with and bad weather and she still made sure my pets were taken care of and communicated with me the perfect amount. I would work with her again and recommend her to others.”
“I am so pleased with the way my baby was taken care of! So much communication and you could see the care in the videos! My baby was so happy! I can’t say enough. I highly recommend!”
About: I have been and always will be a very caring and loving person to animals. I currently have 3 dogs, 1 cat, 3 chickens, and 6 goats at home and care for them everyday. I work around dogs all day so have experience giving medications and loving on them, as well as noticing signs of possible sickness. I am currently working part time as a dog groomer but have a lot of time around work to help care for your pets! I'm also available during the weekend. I currently have 3 dogs at my house that use a fenced in yard and they use kennels as well. When I take them out, I use a good leash and make sure to have a tight grip.
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.
“Megan kept our cat, Stephen, happy and well fed. She dropped in every day to check on him and give him attention. Everything was in great shape when we returned and Stephen was not distressed that we were out of town for several days. I would definitely hire Megan if we are away from home again.”
About: I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I currently have a dog named Rocko who is more like a daughter than a pet to me. I also have 2 adorable cats, one is 22 years old and the other is 5. I have always had passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets throughout my entire life. I have had dogs of all different breeds and sizes from an Australian husky mix to laber doodles. I also believe a healthy pup is an active pup so I would love to take yours out on a walk. Side note: I also offer grooming during house stays for an additional fee! I’m currently available anytime to look after your fury family while you’re away! Or if you just need a reliable animal lover to take your dog on a walk. A walk a day keeps the vet away! When watching your fur baby I will send you updates and pictures of how they’re doing, and fill you in on any activities we did together. I’ll also follow any guidelines left for me by the owner. If they’re staying at my house they will have to be leashed when outside. When inside they are free to explore and play and I can also crate them if needed.

“Audrie was an absolute dream of a pet sitter! She took such loving, attentive care of my two cats, Honus and Buttercup, and went above and beyond to make sure they felt safe, happy, and loved while I was away. I received daily updates and adorable photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear from the start that Audrie truly loves animals and treats them like her own. I came home to two very content kitties and a spotless home. I can’t recommend her highly enough - she’s a gem, and Honus and Buttercup adore her!”
