House Sitting in McBaine

“We feel so fortunate to have found Lauren. We didn’t worry about the pets at all while we were away. They were happy and well cared for. Lauren will certainly be our first choice the next time we need to go out of town.”

“This was our first time using River to house sit and take care of our dog, Zoe. We were very pleased!! He spent quite a bit of time with Zoe, was very attentive to her, and sent us lots of photos while we were gone. As other pet owners know, having someone you trust to stay with your beloved baby is a necessity for worry-free traveling!!!”

“Lauren responded quickly to my request for a week-long stay at my house with my two rescue dogs. She brought along her dog, “Nala” and my sometimes cranky border collie had a great week playing with her. Lauren noticed my grass was tall and asked if she could mow-yes! I was happy to come home to a house that was clean and neat, with linens washed (!) and dogs well cared for. I will definitely be asking Lauren back!”

“Lucas was amazing with our animals. He was so thoughtful and even brought them treats the day he met them. We will absolutely be using him again.”

“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.”

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.

“Alexis loved our babies like they were her own. We felt SO comfortable with her, and our babies loved her deeply! She sent us pictures, kept us updated, and made me feel so so comfortable being away from my pack. Couldn’t recommend her more!”

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.

About: I have worked in professional pet care for 4 years and have been watching neighbors dogs for the past 2 years. At doggy daycare I have worked with all sizes and ages of dogs and am comfortable with all of them. I am currently and student at The University of Missouri but am still able to come to your house to watch your pet. I can stay at your house during the week or weekend, my classes are during the middle of the day so they can go out plenty of times in the morning and night. I have three dogs at home that I am very used to taking care of as well as my cat. I can follow your pets schedule so there is no difference in your care and mine.

“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.”

Paul A.

“Abby was kind and dependable. She took good care of my cat and the house. She was tidy and thoughtful and my cat seemed relaxed and happy with her. Thank you, Abby! I'll be happy to have you return.”

Kate O.

“Alexis was a great communicator, gladly received feedback, and went above and beyond. She left her house very clean. Would happily book again.”

Polly C.

“Claire was very considerate and attentive to the instructions I left on how to care for Molly. She sent pictures that showed all was well and Molly was enjoying her company. Will hire again!”

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’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 love animals, I worked at woofs play and stay as a dog sitter for a year before going off to college. I love going to the dog park with my dog on my free time as well! I am currently a stay at home dog mom so I have plenty of time to play with your pups! I like to go on walks often as well so your pups can get good exercise! I have a very friendly dog that loves playing with people and other dogs that could keep your fur baby comfortable! My dog also has many toys that he loves to share!

About: I have experience working in a doggy daycare and boarding clinic (for dogs and cats) professionally and possess many important animal care skills from that position. I’ve had pets in my house growing up my whole life and currently have 3 wonderful dogs, all of which I’ve known and taken care of since they were as young as 5 weeks old. I grew up with cats as well and love all animals :) I’m currently a part-time college student to eventually become a veterinary technician and am looking for some great work on the side to bring in extra income, and of course would love meeting and getting to know all kinds of fur babies! I have great experience taking care of all different breeds and sizes of dogs and cats and will provide the best care possible for any location or home where pet sitting or walking is needed. I have a car and license, as well as dog leashes if needed.

“Karly took great care of my dogs while I was gone! Would definitely book her again.”

About: Hi, I’m Haley! I’ve run my own full-time in-home doggy daycare for 2 years, caring for pups of all ages — including those with health, socialization, or mobility challenges. After a car accident, I learned petting dogs is actually helping me recover use of my right hand. My husband encouraged me to make my love for animals my job, and it’s been the best decision ever. I give each dog lots of direct attention, fun enrichment, and a mostly cage-free space (kennels only if needed for safety). Around here, every day is all about happy tails and feeling at home. I have a built in doggy daycare in my home as you can see in the photos. There will only be up to 4 dogs on my property at one time. This is to assure access to feild trips to local farms for free range play. This is a boutique style care for your pup! I love dogs so much I made it apart of my home! Your pet will never be in a kennel over 2 hours at a time. If your pet has a social attitude and gets along well with others we can allow “free range play.” If your pet has a difficult time with another dog, I will create separation in the environment allowing equal love and play breaks with up to three activities daily. Balancing work and personal life, I find joy in building strong relationships with both pets and their owners. Regular updates and open communication provide peace of mind for pet parents, knowing their beloved companions are in caring hands. Understanding that each dog has unique needs, takes a personalized approach to care. Whether it’s preparing special meals, accommodating health concerns, or providing extra cuddles for anxious pups, I always go the extra mile. This commitment to individualized attention fosters trust and creates a home away from home for every dog.
