House Sitting in Overton

“Anthony was outstanding and we will certainly have him back! He provided timely responses, gave regular updates, and shared pictures/videos of our girl while we traveled. 100% peace of mind! Our dog typically hides under the bed when we are gone or have a sitter stay with her, but Anthony had the magic touch (and salami) and she was quite content with him here.”

“We feel so fortunate to have found Lauren. We didn’t worry about the pets at all while we were away. They were happy and well cared for. Lauren will certainly be our first choice the next time we need to go out of town.”

“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.”

“Claire is so sweet with Molly, carefully, considering her needs as an older dog. I love getting the photos! Molly was very content when we arrived home.”

“Lucas is an excellent sitter. I was given multiple pics and updates daily, which I really enjoyed. Lucas was extremely attentive and took the very best care of my pup. I felt completely at ease while Lucas was at my home taking care of everything. I will 100% ask Lucas to take care of my pup any time that I leave town!!”

About: I have several years of hands-on pet care experience from family and friends with dogs and cats. I’ve provided daily walks, multiple feedings, grooming, and basic training for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I’m comfortable with senior pets and those requiring medication, and I’ve also cared for anxious or high-energy dogs with patience and consistency. In addition, I’ve done overnight stays, ensuring pets maintain their routine in a stress-free environment. I genuinely love animals and treat every pet as if they were my own, always focused on their comfort, safety, and happiness. I work from home during normal business hours with leniency in needing to step away during the day. Also willing to work from the pets home if WiFi is available! I tend to stay pretty flexible. Either way, they’ll be treated like my own pet which is very heavy on the cuddles, kisses and treats. My pup, Roxie, loves being outside- so if your dog loves it outside also then that’s where we’ll be! If they like to be a couch potato, that’s my spirit animal and I’ll make sure they’re all comfy and well veg it out together! Currently in my home there are 2 other pups also that are very friendly and 2 other people that also love animals! I do not have the set up for cats, as I don’t currently have my own but have had cats in the past and can also care for them. Familiar with litter boxes and giving medication to cats, also.

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!

“Katie was great with our Morkie. We received daily photos and updates, and Macy was relaxed and happy when we came home. Highly recommend and we'll definitely be asking Katie to sit with Macy again.”

“Aiko communicated with us very well and sent lots of pictures. She loved on our animals as much as we would. We are very happy with our experience with Aiko!”

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.

“Abby was kind and dependable. She took good care of my cat and the house. She was tidy and thoughtful and my cat seemed relaxed and happy with her. Thank you, Abby! I'll be happy to have you return.”

Kate O.

“Excellent communication. The dogs loved her! Would use again!”

About: I’ve taken care for cats my whole life! I also have worked at a dog day care where we feed, trim nails, walk and train dogs! I’m currently available anytime till I go back to college! I can come whenever it’s convenient to you and your pet! I can even do last minute! I will play with your pet and take them for walks! I will give it as much love and attention as possible while you’re away!

About: I’ve had pets my entire life growing up. I’ve trained my dog up to show dog standards for 5 years as a hobby. I have house sat for many of our close friends families. I am currently working part time, so I will have plenty of time to care for your for babies. I am free for housesitting every day of the week. And I am available to attend to you pets need around the clock. I have two dogs and two cats of my own and they are my world. We often enjoy long hikes and exploring new toys and places together. Mine and your pets safety and well being are my number one priority.

“We were worried going into this as our dog Yogi has immense anxiety about new people, but as soon as they met, they instantly connected. She was great about keeping us updated with photos, videos, and messages. We are so glad we were able to have her there for our dogs, we can’t recommend her enough!”

Selena D.

“Michaela did a great job with our babies on her first sitting experience with us. We have a large dog and two cats, and she cared for them and seemed to sincerely like them while she was staying with us. We look forward to having her stay with our kitties and doggo again!”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my lifelong experience with dogs of all ages and needs. I’ve always grown up with dogs, so caring for them feels second nature to me. One of my dogs even had a litter of puppies, so I’ve helped raise and train them from birth, which taught me a lot about patience and attentive care. I’m also comfortable supporting senior dogs with gentler routines and extra needs. Whether it’s energetic playtime or calm companionship, I know how to adapt to what each dog needs to feel safe and loved. I currently usually only work nights a couple days a week and I would love to help out in anyway I can. So I am usually around during the day and at night. I care for pets like they’re my own—making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved at all times. Whether in my home or the client’s, I stick closely to their normal routine with feeding, walks, playtime, and any medications if needed. I always take time to build trust with each pet, and I keep owners updated with messages and photos so they know their pet is happy and in good hands.

“Carissa was amazing. Super positive. Excellent communication and helpful throughout the dog sitting process. 11/10 would recommend to anyone.”

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. I’m currently on maternity leave until January so my schedule is wide open and flexible. 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: My husband and I raised our family dog from a puppy to a senior needing advanced care and medication. We trained her ourselves into a playful, friendly, and obedient companion. She has since passed, and we are eager to continue caring for dogs. We also were both raised with cats in the home and are very experienced with cat care. Our two kids will give all pets lots of love! I currently work from home, so am around throughout the day to give pets lots of attention at our home. My M-F schedule is flexible to allow for walks and activities during the workday. Our weekday evenings and weekends are also generally flexible. While your pet is in our care, we will keep a close eye on their comfort, safety, and happiness. We do have a medium-sized dog crate if you would like us to use it. We do not have a fenced yard, so pets will be leashed or on a run if outside.
