“Jodi was great and I’ll definitely use her again. She was punctual, followed the instructions to a T, sent me several pictures of my fur babies, and the dogs seemed to love her. She even got my finicky eater to eat her dinner.”


“Kathryn did a great job for her first visit with Merlin! It was more of a meet and greet, but Merlin opened right up to her and really enjoyed her company. She made me feel extremely relaxed and safe knowing I would be entrusting her with my fur babies care. We will definitely be using her services this summer! 🌞”


“Brooke was the best for our two cats! I knew i didnt have to worry at all while we were out of town! She is such an animal lover and our kitties took to her right away. Thank you so much Brooke and I know we'll be booking with her again in the future!”



About: I have grown up with a variety of pets and have come to consider them all a part of the family. From Geckos to Hermits, Fish to Frogs, and Cats to Dogs, I've housed a variety and have loved them all to the core! I am particularly familiar with Medium sized dogs, but I am no stranger to the big, the bad, or the snugly. For cats, I can be a bit squeamish when it comes to litter, but that is nothing a mask or a nose clip won't fix! As a full time college student, online classes allow my schedule to be very flexible. My grades are important, but nothing motivates me more than a happy pet and a satisfied customer! As someone who understands that home is a place to escape the daily riff raff, I am willing to keep visits as quick and simple as possible or as long and engaging as preferred. A meet and greet is encouraged so I can better understand the needs of your pet and so that the pet and I can become familiar.

About: I have been dog sitting for over 15 yrs. I provide a safe loving home for your animals as well as my own. I have a new young lab mix older dog who is still getting the hang of everything. I have a pet door for access to outside at all times. Three cats also share our home, but they are out most of time. All of my pets are rescue pets!! I will give your sweetie 24 hour care in my home and can provide references when needed. If needed I can use my vet or yours and I love having fun play time with animals I do work part time some days but am usually only gone for a few hours on the days that I work,I look forward to meeting you and your precious pets!!!::))

“Syndee looked after our dog while me and my wife had something come up last minute and I’m glad we chose her! She sent us pictures everyday and made sure he got his much needed play time in! She was fantastic and will definitely be using her again the next time we need it!”


“Jill is absolutely amazing and I would recommend her to anyone! Will definitely be rebooking with her anytime I need help with my animals. :) I can’t express how much I appreciated her spending time with my fur babies while I was out of town for a few days; she sent me updates every time she was at my house, and I can tell she really cares and loves my pets like they are her own. It helped me feel so much better and a lot less guilty for going on vacation, just knowing I have someone I can trust to help me take care of my animals. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Jill! :)”



“Meredith is wonderful and has been such a huge help to Jax and I! She is prompt, thorough and communicative every time she drops in to check on him and always makes sure he gets plenty of attention along with the basics I request of her. It's obvious she has a large capacity of care for the animals she provides case to and I don't think I could have made a better decision for a sitter. ❤️ ? Thank you, Meredith!”


“Kellie is extremely flexible and reliable when it comes to caring for my two kitties. She goes the extra mile by taking the food cans and poo bags outside to the trash can so the house doesn’t smell when we return home.”


About: We have lots of experience sitting for both dogs and cats. My wife and I have had dogs since we were kids, and my wife has even raised puppies since she was little. No matter the age or health condition, we would give your fur baby the upmost care! We understand that life is busy and sometimes a weekend getaway is much needed. Feel at ease knowing your pets are being cared for by experienced caregivers. We have a large privacy-fenced yard in a safe area of town. No need to worry while you’re gone as your pet has plenty of room to run and play. We can also crate your pet if that’s something you’d prefer.

About: I have had the privilege of growing up with dogs throughout my life, sharing my childhood with seven beloved furry companions. Currently, my husband and I are the proud parents to a two-year-old Rottweiler named Clover and a six-year-old Rottweiler Elza, who are loving, energetic, and intelligent dogs. Over the years, I have gained extensive experience caring for dogs, not only as a pet owner but also by looking after the dogs of our extended families and friends, including watching, house-sitting, and taking dogs on walks when needed. With a deep understanding of dog behavior and a genuine passion for their well-being, I am excited to offer my services to care for your fur babies. I look forward to meeting your pets and providing them with the love and attention they deserve while you're away! Pet care is a seamless part of my daily routine. I work from home and manage a few side projects and hobbies, which allows me the flexibility to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. Whether it’s playtime in the yard, a walk around the neighborhood, or just keeping them company while I work, I’m able to stay present and responsive to their needs. I’m also flexible during the day for drop-in visits, making it easy to provide care on a schedule that works best for you and your pet. In our home, we offer both crates and a fenced-in backyard, providing a safe and comfortable environment for your pet—whether they prefer being indoors or outside. We have two friendly dogs of our own: Clover, a playful two-year-old, and Elza, a gentle six-year-old. They both love the company of other dogs and are always excited to meet new friends. At night, Clover and Elza like to stay out and cuddle, so if your dog enjoys cozy companionship, they’ll feel right at home. That said, if your pup prefers the comfort of a crate, we’re more than happy to make sure they’re settled in and sleeping peacefully.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes since I was 10. Friends, family, and neighbors trust me to walk, feed, bathe, and love their pets like my own. I have a rescue dog now and previously cared for my senior dog, who was diabetic with hip issues for over 5 years. I’m confident handling shy rescues, seniors, and pups who need special attention or medication. I’m currently job hunting, so my schedule is very open and flexible. I’m available for drop-ins, walks, and boarding in my home most weekdays, evenings, and weekends. I don’t offer in-home stays, but I’ll make sure your pup gets the same love and care they’d get at home. I currently have one friendly dog and one calm, well-behaved cat who are both used to being around other pets. My home is safe, pet-friendly, and I’m always watching to make sure everyone is comfortable. I can easily crate your dog if needed, and I’ll follow any routines or instructions to help them feel right at home. I’ll be moving soon to a home with a fully fenced yard for even more space to play!

About: We treat fur babies like members of our family. We have rescued and cared for numerous dogs over the last fifteen years.

We are a homeschool family so my fourteen year old daughter will be giving your baby extra love!! Flexibility reigns here so you can rest assured your baby is being cared for.. My daughter is working on plans now for her own doggie daycare center in the future. We have instilled a respect for animals in her that is evident to all who meet our family. We look forward to getting to know you and your fur babies! We are honored to help you enjoy yourself without worry. We homeschool so paying attention to the babies is something we can do almost all day. We take frequent walk/potty breaks and love to be outdoors. I have a fenced yard and a super friendly poodle mix that absolutely loves company. Some of his best friends are the dogs that we help care for.

About: I work at a vet hospital and I have for 5years, I’ve owned many pets previously. I know how to give medicine properly and tell when something is off! I work full time! I’m completely free on weekends and most weekdays after 3pm! I can make adjustments for you if you give me enough notice! I live in an apartment with 2 cats, with plenty of space and walk and play so there will be no shortage of play time!! However at your home I would treat them as my own!

About: I grew up on a farm in southern MO. Been able dogs my whole life. I have two senior girls named Angie (Lhasa Apso) and BB (Chihuahua/Boston Terrier mix). I’ve had experience with puppies to seniors. I’m a nurse. I work 5 days a week. I try to schedule things around my day as that is when my dogs typically get the most outdoor time. I have two small dogs who are friendly. I can kennel if needed. I’m easy going and can accommodate to any needs that are requested.

About: I have 25 years of experience in pet care. Ranging from the exuberant puppy stage to the laid-back relaxation years. My experience includes bathing, grooming and administering medications (i.e. oral, topical and injections). I enjoy long dogs walks and fun-filled activities. I currently work fulltime during the week and am available to do check-ins any time after 4pm. However, I have open availability with no restrictions on the weekends. During check-ins, I check for any packages or accidents and immediately ensure the entry point is secure. I do not allow anyone inside the home during the visit. On dog walks I avoid all other dogs and humans (including dog parks) to ensure the safety of both the pet and I. I operate as if I am always being monitored and will treat your home and pet with the upmost care and respect.

About: I have taken care of alot of dogs for my mom and other family members, including my 16 year old maltese named sparky since I was 8.

I give lots of snuggles and playtime! I will bring toys and blankets if needed!

I am very well experienced with dogs! I work weekdays but have nothing on weekends!! I'm excited to meet your babies! On weekends I can be very flexible, I do have my own fur babies to take care of but am capable of doing both! I make sure to not let the animals out of my sight for more than 2 minutes! I love to play with them or just lay around depending on what the animal prefers!
