“This is our 2nd time entrusting our beloved dog (and house) with Lucas. He is such a good caretaker! We were out of the country for a week over spring break and we received updates with pictures at least twice a day! Already planning a future trip and will rebook.”


“We really enjoyed having Mark stay with our dog, Maverick, while we were away. We really appreciated him taking the time to meet and get to know Mav, who’s very suspicious of new people, before his stay. Mark pays close attention to detail and asks great questions to ensure he provides amazing care. He was a tidy and curious houseguest and we would absolutely have him stay again in the future!”


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 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.

About: I have had two dogs my whole life and love animals. I’ve always watched over my friends and family’s loved pets for them, while they were away. They have always loved my services. I take feedback (good and bad) as well so if there is something you want exactly your way, I will try my best to accommodate it! I have a very flexible schedule and would love to meet your pets! I have references, and ratings to go with, as well! I take last minute bookings and if you prefer your animal stay at your house, I do make common visits when you prefer. I take lots of pictures to keep you updated and I’m very communicative. Your loved one is my loved one, and will be treated as if it were my own. I have a completely free schedule. I am home all day and have 100% attention to your loved one. I am consistent with any schedule you already have just let me know! I have a 10 acre yard so they will have lots of room to play and have the most fun they ever could! I’ll be your best pet sitter.

“Taylor spent 3 days/nights with my pup and was absolutely wonderful! She communicated throughout the entire stay, followed all of the care instructions, and made sure he got plenty of exercise and love. I highly recommend her and will definitely be using her as a sitter again.”


About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is the way I care for your pets like they’re my own. I have hands-on experience with animals of all ages and temperaments—from playful puppies just learning the ropes, to senior pets who need a little extra patience and care. I’m comfortable with giving medications, adjusting routines for older pets, and helping with basic puppy training like crate time and leash walking. I take the time to learn each pet’s unique needs and personality, so they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Whether it’s belly rubs, slow walks, or just quiet company, I’m there to make sure they’re happy and stress-free. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life—living in the country with my family, animals are truly at the heart of our routine. We have a spacious, fenced outdoor area where dogs can safely run, play, and explore. Our own crew includes a friendly dog, three playful cats, a curious bunny, and some happy chickens—so we’re used to all kinds of personalities and care needs. My two children absolutely love giving gentle “lovins” and playtime to our furry (and feathered) guests, and they’re always excited to welcome new animal friends into the mix. Whether it’s making sure a senior dog gets their meds or helping a puppy burn off energy, we approach every day with patience, kindness, and genuine joy for what we do. Caring for animals fits right into our family rhythm—it’s not just part of our schedule, it’s part of who we are. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family. We live in the country with plenty of fresh air, room to roam, and a fully fenced outdoor space where dogs can play safely and freely. Inside, pets have cozy spots to relax and are never left feeling isolated—whether it’s curling up on the couch or enjoying quiet time away from the action if they prefer. We follow your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible—mealtimes, potty breaks, walks, medication, and cuddle time are all handled with care and attention. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect your space and your pet’s comfort zone. I make sure their daily routine is kept consistent and stress-free, from feeding and potty breaks to walks and companionship. Whether I’m stopping in for a visit or staying overnight, I keep communication open with photo updates and notes, so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and relaxed—whether they’re in my home or staying in theirs.

About: I have taken care of dogs, along with many other animals all my life. Growing up we always had dogs in the home. I have house set and taken care of family and friends pets as well over the years. I currently work full time in Sedalia, MO. I have flexibility in my job where I can leave and go check on your fur babies throughout the day or take them on a walk. I am also available to board pups over the weekend in my home to allow you to travel out of town. I have a fenced yard and one very friendly dog, Max, to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog as needed and have several rooms in the home to allow playing as well as rest with Max, or alone.

About: During my time pet sitting, I have cared for a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, and small pets. My responsibilities have included feeding, providing fresh water, administering medications when needed, and ensuring they receive plenty of attention and exercise. One memorable experience was caring for a senior Border Collie who required daily medication and gentle walks. I followed the owner’s instructions carefully, ensuring the dog was comfortable and sticking to their routine. I also kept the owner updated with daily photos and messages. Additionally, I have experience handling energetic pets that require extra playtime and patience. Whether it’s taking dogs on long walks, engaging in interactive play with cats, or simply providing companionship, I ensure that pets feel safe and happy while their owners are away. I’m currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time and flexibility. I try to work around my clients schedule to the best of my ability! When it comes to pet sitting, safety, trust, and a comfortable environment are my top priorities. I ensure that every pet is cared for in a secure and familiar setting, following their routine to minimize stress. Trust is key—I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing attentive care, regular updates, and open communication with owners. I also create a positive environment by giving pets plenty of affection, exercise, and mental stimulation, ensuring they feel happy and at ease while their owners are away. With me, your pet is in safe, loving hands.

About: I grew up on a farm with 16 horses, cows, dogs, and cats, which gave me solid experience in animal care. I also travel, camp, and hike with my cat, Pumpkin, which has helped me learn to manage various pet needs while on the move. My background includes experience with horses, dogs, and cats, as well as training and handling. I’m skilled in caring for both active and senior pets, providing personalized attention. My adaptability and travel experience make me a reliable choice for pets needing a caring and flexible sitter. I am currently working a remote job that I can log in at any time, so I can make my schedule around and pause for any pet care! I am across the road from an open field we can walk to or around Monroe's less busy roads. Pumpkin has his own bedroom he can go to that he is safe in and I have an additional open room if needed, along with the rest of the house. In client's homes, I can be there as long as needed and stay as close to their normal routine as possible.

About: Been taking care of dogs all my life. My last roommate and I fostered rescue dogs and the local sheriff even started dropping off dogs to us instead of the shelter!!! I just finished my B.A. Degree and am now waiting for 2025 to start Medical school. Until then I have nothing else to do besides love dogs!!!! When caring for pets in my home or a client's home, my top priorities are trust and creating a comfortable environment. I take the time to understand each pet's unique needs and preferences, using positive reinforcement to build a strong bond. Activities are tailored to each pet’s energy level and personality, whether it's playtime, walks, or quiet cuddle sessions. By focusing on these aspects, I ensure a nurturing and enjoyable experience for every pet in my care!
