Cat Sitting Oaks

“Megan did a great job looking after our cats! She was patient with our more shy cat and made friends with our more outgoing cat. She left great notes and pictures during the visits.”

“Not only was Sally available for a last minute request for an extended amount of time but she kept me updated about about the status of our home during a multi-day power outage, brought our packages inside and even took care of extra cleaning tasks. I trust Sally with my pet like I do family. She’s the best!”

Raymie S.

“Was wonderful and caring for our pets! While we were gone we had a power outage and she was there in the morning to make sure they were safe!”

“Tyler has been great with Castiel! He keeps me updated during every visit, which gives me a lot of peace of mind, and he’s been incredibly flexible whenever plans or timing have shifted. The whole experience has honestly been so easy and completely pain-free. I really appreciate knowing Castiel is in good hands, and I would absolutely recommend Tyler for both walks and drop-in visits.”

Randy L.

“Texted with pics every visit. The kitties came out and seemed to really like her. She did everything on the list. Would definitely hire again!”

“Shelby is amazing and went above and beyond for our old kitty! She made extra time to make sure she got her meds even when our cat was putting up a protest and took the time to play and hang with her. She even watered our plants without us asking! Highly recommend and will definitely ask Shelby to sit again!”

About: As someone who has owned and trained a rescue dog with both stranger and dog reactivity for the past two years, I understand firsthand how difficult it can be to find a trustworthy, experienced pet sitter. Every dog deserves compassionate, patient care, regardless of their behavioral challenges. Through working with professional trainers and extensively studying canine behavior and reactivity, I've gained valuable experience in recognizing triggers, managing stress, building trust, and maintaining consistent training routines. I understand that building a relationship with a reactive dog takes time, patience, and respect for their boundaries. My priority is ensuring your dog feels safe, comfortable, and understood while you're away. In addition to my experience with reactive dogs, I've helped friends train their puppies, focusing on positive experiences, confidence building, and helping them navigate the world comfortably. I'm also comfortable providing basic care, including nail trims when tolerated, ear cleaning, and administering oral medications, vitamins, or supplements according to your instructions. I believe pet owners deserve to enjoy vacations, travel, or simply spend time away from home without worrying about their furry family members. I'll respect your dog's established routines, follow their existing training and management plans, and provide frequent updates, photos, and communication at no additional charge. My goal is simple: to give your dog the patience, consistency, and individualized care they deserve while giving you peace of mind knowing they're in capable, caring hands. I have a flexible work-from-home schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I typically finish my workday in the early afternoon, giving me availability for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, and quality one-on-one care. Caring for animals is already a big part of my daily routine, so incorporating pet sitting feels like a natural fit! I understand the importance of consistency, especially for dogs with anxiety or reactivity, and I'm happy to accommodate established feeding schedules, exercise routines, and training needs. My goal is to provide dependable, personalized care while making sure your pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you're away! Your pet's happiness and well-being are my top priorities! I'll maintain a secure environment by keeping hazards out of reach, following household rules, and respecting your pet's individual needs and triggers. I believe physical activity and mental enrichment are essential for a fulfilled pet! Our time together may include walks, interactive play, puzzle games, and plenty of downtime to recharge. I'll maintain your pet's established routines and training while providing patient, personalized care, especially for those with anxiety or reactivity. My goal is to keep your pet happy, engaged, and well cared for until your return!

“Stephanie is fantastic! She worked so hard to comfort and care for our two emotional cats while we were gone. She’s an excellent communicator, knowledgeable and kind.”

About: Growing up I always had some sort of pet whether that be my bearded dragon, leopard gecko, cats, dogs, birds, all of it. I recently lost my disabled kitty but he taught me lots about medication administration, accessibility, and so many more things that are needed when working with a disabled or any kind of medical condition in pets. I now have a kitten and thankfully my childhood dog is still alive which I’m very grateful for. I’d love to spend time with your babies too! I live in Columbia because my boyfriend goes to Mizzou, but I currently am not working anywhere, so I can help you out anytime, anywhere:) I am very careful when it comes to pet safety. Like mentioned earlier my baby, Theo, is disabled as well as special needs. He takes medication and has to have certain accommodations around the apartment just for him. Making sure he is safe is a big priority as well as a big priority for your pet too!

About: I love taking care of all types of animals, dogs, cats, reptiles (no snakes), birds, fish and guinea pigs! I’ve personally taken care of several different species of animals over the past 10 years and have house/pet sit for the past two. I can also take care of your plants!! You will receive pictures of your fur babies daily! I have a part time job that is 3 days a week and my shifts are 4 to 5 hours long. I will still have plenty of time and energy after work to play and cuddle with your fur babies!! I do have an older cat and older large dog in my home. They will be staying at my home when I’m taking care of your babies!

“Jenna is so caring. She doesnt just feed our two cats and leave. She gives me a report on their interactions with her and each other. She has even managed to clip the nails on our oldest most anxiety-prone Cleopatra.”

“Emily has taken care of my cats on multiple occasions, and I always feel comfortable trusting her with them. She stepped in on very short notice after our previous sitter fell through, and we were extremely happy with the care she provided. She was very responsive and responsible, which immediately put us at ease, and she treated both our cats and our home very well, even bringing packages inside while we were away. Her love for cats really shows in the photos and daily updates she sends, and it was clear that our cats were comfortable and enjoyed her company. She documented each visit thoroughly and completed all of her duties without any issues. Emily truly gave us peace of mind while we were away, and we would absolutely recommend her and book with her again.”

About: Lifelong Animal Lover with Advanced Care Experience I grew up surrounded by both dogs and cats, and my life has always revolved around animal companionship. I don't just love pets; I understand them deeply. Because I specialize in dog walking and drop-in visits (up to 3 times a day), my focus is entirely on providing structured, safe, and attentive care right in your pet's familiar environment. Expert Medical & Senior Pet Care I have extensive, hands-on experience managing complex care for pets of all life stages, including disabled senior animals. If your pet has specialized needs, they are in highly capable hands. I am fully confident and experienced with: Administering oral medications, pill hiding, and precise schedules. Managing advanced medical treatments, including injectables and subcutaneous (Sub-Q) fluids. Assisting pets with mobility aids, harnesses, and specialized diets. Managing senior pet hygiene, including diaper changes and cleanup. Understanding Behavioral Quirks & Big Personalities As a proud owner of two large bully breeds—one who manages severe anxiety and reactivity, and another a rescue recovering from past neglect—I understand that not every dog is a textbook "easy" walker. I am trained in patience, hyper-vigilant environmental awareness, and reading subtle animal body language to keep your reactive, fearful, or strong pup safe on walks. My home is also run by three incredible cats ranging from 3 to 10 years old (including an aloof kitty, a social butterfly, and a sweet disabled cat requiring extra patience). Having previously rehabilitated a rescue cat who became disabled with age, I know exactly how to respect a feline's boundaries while ensuring their needs are met. Whether your cat wants a high-energy play session, gentle grooming, or just a quiet human presence to keep them company, I adapt entirely to their mood. Because I work from home full-time, my schedule is highly flexible and reliable. I am available throughout the day to accommodate your pet's specific routine, offering dog walking and drop-in visits anywhere from 1 to 3 times a day. Here is how my lifestyle benefits you and your pet: Punctual & Consistent Timing: Since I am not tied to a rigid office commute, I can visit your pet at their preferred times for meals, medication, or potty breaks. Mid-Day Break Specialists: I am readily available for lunch-time walks to break up the day for high-energy dogs, puppies, or senior pets who cannot hold it for long. Rapid Emergency Response: Working locally from home means I am never far away. If your pet has a sudden change in schedule or an urgent need, I can adapt quickly. Your peace of mind is my top priority. I treat every animal with the same meticulous care, patience, and fierce love that I give to my own unique fur family. Here is what I bring to every walk or drop-in visit: Frequent Photo & Video Updates: My camera roll is already completely full of my own pets. You can expect detailed, visual updates during every single visit so you know your pet is thriving. Proactive Dog Safety: I bring hyper-vigilant environmental awareness, patience, and deep knowledge of subtle animal body language to every walk. This ensures your reactive, fearful, or strong pup stays completely safe. Customized Cat Care: I know exactly how to respect a feline's boundaries while ensuring their needs are met. Whether your cat wants a high-energy play session, gentle grooming, or just a quiet human presence, I adapt entirely to their mood.

“Kaitlyn was super professional and wonderful with our cats. She sent pics and communicated along the way. She spent extra time with them and the cat litter and food areas were spotless. Will definitely be using her again!!!!!!”
