Cat Sitting in Murry

About: I have been pet sitting since my freshman year of college, and am now in my 30s. I am especially good with older dogs who need special care - even hand feeding or adjusting what they eat for their digestive systems to handle on a given day. Let me handle them and I'll make sure they know they're loved! When the alarm goes off at 5:30 every morning, I take our two labs downstairs to go outside, and then it's back up to the kitchen for breakfast. They spend the day with my husband, and then I take them outside before bed. They are my whole world! My biggest goal is to make sure I abide by your pet's routine and disrupt their schedule as little as possible. Our animals trust us, and I never take that trust for granted.

“Mrs. Mary was so so wonderful and accommodating! I was just a nervous wreck when I left my Tilly home, that the beginning of my vacation wasn’t even enjoyable. However, after her updates I began to feel so much better knowing I had someone there who was really taking her. I would rebook Mary again in a heartbeat.”

“Jessica was available on short notice to watch my cat. She was very friendly with me and him. She took notes on my instructions so I know Max was well taken care of. Sent me great daily summaries and pictures.”

“Adrienna did amazing dropping in on our dog for a few days. She would send pictures of him and update us on how he was doing. I would highly recommend her to anyone and will be using her again in the future!”

“Abigail was great with our dogs! One is elderly and needs meds and special care and one is a handful! She was patient and kind and kept us well informed on our first trip after moving to the area. It was such a relief to know they were in such good hands. Highly recommend!”

“Abigail will be our #1 animal caregiver going forward. With less than a week until our wedding, Knight (our 9-month old mini goldendoodle) developed a mild case of kennel cough. Since boarding was no longer an option, we hopped on Rover and found Abigail. She came over to meet Knight and the cats, and went above and beyond our expectations. Knight had frequent visits, lots of play sessions, and tons of attention while he was at home. Abigail administered medicine, and we came home to a happy and healthy puppy (all courtesy of Abigail). We recommend Abigail unconditionally and trust her in our home with our fur babies anytime.”

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.

About: We’re back! We took a break to have our two wonderful children and now we’re ready to take care of your pets again! My husband, Josh, and I are a team. We have been pet sitters for family and friends for many years. We love animals and we always treat them like our own. We both grew up in homes where our pets were like another family member and we grew up as animal lovers. We are unable to bring your pet to our home or stay the night at your home, but we would be willing to come to your home any time during the day to take care of your pets when you are away. Whether that is for a vacation, business trip, or when you are unable to make it home from work to let your dogs out to go potty. Brittany is a 4th grade teacher and Josh is a medical vendor. Our schedules don’t align so we are available at different times giving us a wider range of availability for you and your pets. We treat your pets and home with respect. We are able to drop by to take care of your pet or take your dog for a walk.

“Hannah dropped by twice while I was on an extended day trip. She was prompt and professional and left great notes and pictures. Gracie, Moses and I liked her immediately at the meet and greet. I feel confident my babies were well taken care of and would love to have Hannah care for them again!”

About: I have taken care of my own pets and others almost my entire life including feeding and watering, giving medicine and shots, helping with birthing, and bathing. I seem to just be able to get along with almost all animals which definitely helps for my desired field. I can go out and play with animals, stay in and relax with them, or do a little of both. I am a student and I am currently taking summer classes, but they are mostly online so I will likely be able to schedule around them. I do also like to workout and do some activities with friends, but I can schedule around that some as well. This fall I will be full time student at MU so I will not be able to do most things, but I may have gaps then that I could fill. I do not currently have pets at my home in Columbia, only in Sedalia. Back in Sedalia, we live more in the country so my dogs have full range of wherever they want to go. They go in and out as they please but we always make sure they have food and water when they are home. They get lots of lovin's when they are home as well. Here in Columbia I will only be able to sit at the owners house and I can follow however they would want me to take care of their animal(s). I love to pet, play with, and cuddle with animals so any kind of care or environment works for me.

“Kennedy was fantastic. Would definitely use her again!”

No limitations for transportation I will be fully following my client’s requirement with also my personal observations and judgement to give pets the best service. Safe, loving, and caring

“Jennifer was awesome! She took a last minute booking with bad weather conditions. I was unable to make it back home the next morning, so did a re-book and let them out the next morning as well. She definitely went above and beyond. Great service!”

Jason P.

“Hailea was great! She communicated regularly about my kitties and sent great photos. When I got home, they seemed well taken care of and happy. I will be booking with Hailea again!”

About: My family has had at least one cat my entire life, even as many as 7 at one time when my mom rescued a kitten litter from a busy street. At a young age I learned to both love animals and to treat them with care. In my dad’s home we had a great big dog raised from a puppy, and as a college student I especially miss being able to take a dog on a nice summer walk. I’m currently working part-time in the evenings most days of the week. My schedule varies from week to week but I am reliably available before 3pm daily. I make time to give my cats enrichment daily and play with them in a run to get those zoomies out. My cats are slightly fat from how I like to treat them, but I do not share human food. I would do the same for any pet sitting situation in addition to following the dietary guidelines if your pet needs to eat less treats. Additionally, I would be taking my own tax of pets and ear scratches if the client is willing.
