“Carissa was awesome with our cat! She provided photos from each visit and was nice enough to unload our dishwasher as well. I think our cat, Dewey, had a great time.”
About: I have been pet-sitting in my hometown for over 5 years, and I worked for two years in high school at my local vet clinic. I am trained in giving all types of medications, and I have substantial experience in working with animals in all states of health. I have also been exposed to a wide variety of pet behaviors, so I am comfortable working with pets that may need extra attention and care. I also have several senior pets and have fostered kittens in the past, so I love working with pets of all ages! I have spent my entire life loving animals, beginning with the family pets I grew up with. This led me to the veterinary field, where I began fostering and rescuing animals. Through this work, I discovered I have a particular love for senior pets, which led to my family adopting 5 senior dogs and one cat. Currently, I am a pre-veterinary student at Mizzou and I hope to become an Emergency Mixed-Animal Veterinarian! While I am excited to be pursuing my dreams, I really miss my pets and all of the animals I used to work with, so I am looking to fill that void here at school! I am a full time student, and my class schedule varies from day to day. I am usually on campus from 9-3 during the week, and I would love to work with any pets that need care outside of those hours or on the weekends! I strive to provide the best care to every animal I work with by making their comfort my top priority. I know how hard it is to be away from your pets, so I treat every pet how I would want mine to be treated. Outside of my professional experience with animals, I just really enjoy hanging out and spending time with them! So, you can trust that your pets will be loved, spoiled, and excellently cared for while you are away :) I work hard to establish trust with every animal I work with, to ensure that they are as comfortable as possible. I know how stressful it can be for pets when their owners are away, so I try my best to keep them happy and stress-free! I am happy to give medications, play with your pets, or simply hang out with them in order to provide the best quality care.
“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.”
“Margaret took amazing care of Xena. Thank you so much for all you did for us. We will definitely be using you in the future.”
About: I am a veterinary student and have extensive experience caring for animals in many capacities. I am comfortable working with dogs of all sizes and cats. I have classes during the day most days, but will be able to either drop by in early morning or afternoon/evening! I am more thank happy to work with times as long as I have sufficient notice. I will follow any guideline you set for your animals in order to keep them safe. I will not give them anything unapproved, and I am familiar with signs of distress or illness in animals. This will help me to make sure your pet is doing well in my time watching them.
“Lindsey is a wonderful pet sitter who takes excellent care of our furry troop! Right out the door, when we first met her, we got an excellent first impression. She is very warm and friendly and was great with our pets! When we came home after our week away our pets were relaxed and happy.”
About: I am a registered nurse and a mom a Great Dane and 2 kitties. I am taking a break from nursing and am now available for your fur babies needs throughout the day. I grew up on a farm in southern Mo and have cared for livestock (cattle, goats) as well as our Great Pyrenees during my adolescence. I love all dogs and have confidence in walking and training large, dominant dogs as well. I have been in training and agility classes with my current dog and am happy to help with leash walking and obedience. I am currently taking a break from nursing due to burnout. Monday-Sunday I'm your girl! Feel free to reach out for reoccurring visits, or for multiple visits per day, if you are located in the Columbia area. I am happy to make frequent check ins during the week and during weekends. I am available for dog walking and drop in visits every day of the week.

About: I started volunteering at the humane society in second grade, and I have loved taking care of animals ever since. I grew up with three dogs and fostered cats in college, and I often pet sit for family and friends. I am in between jobs currently so I am available every weekday morning, afternoon and evening. I am also available on some weekends, just ask! I always make sure gates are closed before I let dogs out, and am very careful about keeping them on a close leash when there are cars or bikers nearby.
“Brookelyne was a wonderful sitter for our two cats! One of our boys is very VERY shy and she was calm/patient with him the entire time. She was timely and very attentive to our cat’s needs. We also appreciated the tons of pictures and updates! It really helps when you’re missing your pets. She went ABOVE and beyond what we expected and we will absolutely utilize her going forward! We highly recommend her services for your pets.”

“This is the first time we've used a pet sitter (other than family) and were a little nervous. Juliana sent pictures all week long and it was obvious our pets were well cared for and comfortable with her. I would absolutely recommend Juliana. She's a five star sitter.”
About: I grew up in the country surrounded by all types of animals. Pups, cats, bunnies, goats, guinea pigs were all part of my life growing up and giving them a good life meant the world to me. Regardless of the animal it's gonna get a world of enthusiasm and love. I'm currently a full time student but I have time during Wednesday, Fridays and weekends that I would very much like to spend helping take care of pets. I think the best way to keep any pet safe and cared for is to simply be present. That and being mindful of any special needs or wants of the pet.
About: I’ve taken care of animals all my life. I have dogs and cats at home, but have also taken care of animals for family members and friends. I have experience in basic care, but also in minor vet care. I have experience in cleaning wounds, replacing bandages, giving shots and medications, and in nail trimming. If you need anything that isn’t listed, please feel free to reach out and we can discuss if I can help provide that service. Rates are negotiable.

After my leave ends I will be working full time in Columbia but will still check on your animals 2-3 times a day if asked to. Rates are negotiable. Currently I only offer watching pets at my clients home. This lets your pets maintain a sense of normalcy and calm while you are away. I can feed them and ensure they have clean water, walk them, and play with them so they aren’t lonely.
About: Ever since I was a kid, I’ve always had a pet dog. I’ve always had love and respect for animals, domesticated and wild. I’m comfortable with dogs and cats of all breeds and all sizes. I’m currently working part time on Friday and Saturday afternoon-evenings and Sunday and Monday night shifts. That gives me plenty of time on my free days to play with and care for your pet! I can easily crate your dog or let them out and let them stretch their legs and let them play. I can feed and give them water if need be.
