About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats since I was younger than 10, with experience ranging from playful puppies to senior pets who need extra patience and attention. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and provide companionship for their pets. I’m comfortable with multiple breeds, different energy levels, and unique routines. My priority is keeping pets safe, happy, and loved while giving owners peace of mind. Whether it’s exercise, cuddles, or special care, I treat every pet like they’re my own. Hi, I’m Madeline! 🐾 I’m a stay-at-home mom to my sweet son, who recently started school, and I’m looking forward to filling my extra time with something I truly love: animals! I’ve always had a big heart for furry friends and believe every pet deserves patience, love, attention, and plenty of cuddles. 🐶🐱💕 As a pet parent myself, I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets. Whether your pup needs a walk, a potty break, playtime, or just some company while you’re away, I’m happy to help! My goal is to make your pets feel safe, loved, and cared for while giving you peace of mind. 🐾💗

About: I’ve taken care and raised dogs for over 43years. My wife and I have always had an average of 2 dogs and a cat for 40 years. I’m very experienced in potty training and basic commands along with at side walk training. Experienced in caring for elderly and mobility restricted dogs I am newly retired and live taking my dogs for walks and playing in the yard with them. I am normally at home all day and enjoy the exercise they bring me. We have a wooded large, study fenced backyard with ample space to roam and play. Typically walks are twice a day and last for 30-45 minutes. While I allow pets on the furniture, I reinforce the owners preferences to ensure consistency. Experienced with medication administration if needed

About: Hi there! My name is Karen K. I am a born and raised Missouri citizen. I have grown up around dogs my entire life and would love to help take care of your furry best friends! I am good with any size dog or cat with any type of special needs situation. I want to be of as much help as I can possibly be so don't be afraid to make any requests or suggestions. I am an Opera Singer, and love having flexibility for the opportunity to take care of animals in addition to my career. Animals have a huge place in my heart, and I can't wait to get to know yours! Please check out my profile and feel free to contact me for any information you need! I'm an Opera Singer primarily, so I do contract work as it comes. I have a day job that I keep in between contracts but I have a schedule that is fairy flexible and adaptive for your needs in both pet and house sitting! I am available during the week to take your pet for walks, bathroom breaks, or belly rub sessions as needed. I am also open to caring for your pets on the weekend! I am an open book, so don't be afraid to offer any suggestions or requests in order for me to provide the best service possible! I am more than happy to set up a meet and greet before caring for your pets and(or) home. It is my top priority to make you and your pet(s) feel comfortable whilst leaving things in my care. Pets are some of our most important family members, and I don't take that responsibility lightly!

About: Growing up in a household where I wasn’t allowed to have a pet of my own, I searched for every chance to spend time with furry friends. I spent a lot of time at neighbors’ and friends’ houses playing with and pet-sitting their dogs, studying a variety of dog breeds, and watching pet shows like “Too Cute” on Animal Planet. In middle school I volunteered at the animal shelter and in high school I was exposed to many therapy dogs at the hospital. Finally, 7 years ago I got a shih-poo of my own and it’s been such a joy getting to spoil her rotten. Dogs bring us so much light, love, and companionship so they deserve to be treated with utmost care and pampered to their heart’s content! I will make sure your precious pet gets the attention it needs so that you can live your life care free and they can live theirs cared for! I am not currently working so I have plenty of time to spend with your furry friend! My availability is completely open for walks, check ins, and whatever and however much care your pet may need! I have a large fenced in yard with ample space for your pet and I to play and run around in. My shih-poo can keep your four-legged friend company or can be caged up, whichever you and your pet are comfortable with. I have a variety of dog treats that your pup is welcome to as well.

About: I raised my first dog to a healthy, ripe 17 years of age. My new pup is a rescue and I have helped her become an obedient (mostly), well-mannered good girl. We take walks everyday, even when it’s cold. I have patient and a calm demeanor which I believe most dogs need when interacting with a new person. I work during the day M-F most of the time. I am free in the evenings and on weekends. Currently working part time so my schedule is a bit more open. I have an energetic puppy that loves to run around at the dog park at my apartment complex. I typically crate my dog when I’m not home. Okay with having dogs free at client’s house if that what the pup is most comfortable with.

About: I bring over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs with a calm, dependable, and loving approach. I understand how important consistency, exercise, routine, and affection are for dogs to feel secure and happy while you’re away. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, older, or simply loves companionship, I tailor care to their personality and needs. I’m attentive, communicative, and focused on making sure your dog feels safe, engaged, and genuinely cared for. I work from home, which allows me to be present, flexible, and attentive throughout the day. I’m able to give pets consistent companionship, regular walks or play sessions, feeding on schedule, and plenty of check-ins rather than leaving them alone for long stretches. Because I work remotely, I can easily adapt to a pet’s needs and routine while making sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and never overlooked. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and sense of ease at home always come first with me. I care for your space and your animals the way I would my own - with respect, attentiveness, and genuine care. I’m mindful about doors, leashes, routines, feeding schedules, medications, and keeping things clean, calm, and low-stress. I pay close attention to how your pet is feeling and behaving, so you can be away knowing they’re safe, settled, and truly looked after.

“Abigail was simply amazing with the dogs! She was very good with them, send frequent updates when she walked them, including pictures! You could see the happiness in their faces, and that they were enjoying their time with Abigail. It was a huge relief to know that they were being taken care of when I couldn't be there for them. I would recommend Abigail to anyone!”

About: I’ve been caring for animals ever since i was a little girl. I started looking after pets at just 6 years old, and now at 17, I’ve had years of real hands-on experience. I grew up with my little dog Zeus, three sweet cats, and most recently I rescued a pit bull named Chico right off the streets. Because of that, I’m comfortable working with pets of all sizes and personalities. I’m great at walking and running dogs, giving baths, and most importantly, showing them love, comfort, and attention. I treat every animal like my own, and I always make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. My weekly routine looks like doing online school from 9am-2pm so i can be available after school on weekdays or on weekends i can typically do mornings better depending on your pets needs! I unfortunately do not have a yard but if your fur baby loves walks i have a lot of walking area. I always make sure pets feel safe, calm, and comfortable with me. I take time to build trust by moving at their pace, learning what they like, and giving them gentle attention. Whether I’m in your home or walking them outside, I create a positive, calm environment where your pet can relax and feel loved.

“Emily went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable since we are new to having a dog walker. Emily’s updates and pictures were fantastic. Cyrus loved her snuggles and pets! He was nice and tired after a 2 mile walk.”

About: As someone who grew up on a farm, I have experience caring for all kinds of animals, and I love them all. I’ve owned both cats and dogs, so whether you’ve got an energetic doggo that needs lots of movement, a homebody pup that loves cuddles, or a shy kitty who just wants someone’s presence nearby, I am happy to accommodate to offer them the care they need. I have provided lots of exercise enrichment for the dogs I’ve cared for. I genuinely enjoy walking, so it makes both of our days when your pup(s) loves walking too! I also run and would be happy to take your dog on a run if you’re looking to give them some extra exercise. If you’re looking for a friendly and trustworthy person who will treat your pets kindly and with love, please reach out! Are you going out of town? Working long hours? Having guests visit? Wanting more activity for your fur baby? Just need some extra help with pet care? I’d love to connect with you. I’m a part-time graduate student and have a flexible schedule right now, so I’d be happy to stop by for a walk or visit during the day, or stay with your pet if you’re away! I understand how important routine is to animals, and I am happy to accommodate your feeding, walking or bedtime routine to keep them feeling comfortable and cared for! Send me a message to let me know what your needs are and I’d be happy to discuss with you.

About: As a dedicated pet walker and sitter, I provide attentive, compassionate, and professional care for dogs of all breeds and temperaments. My skills include: • Safe & Engaging Walks – Ensuring dogs get the right amount of exercise while keeping them safe and stimulated. • Basic Obedience & Leash Handling – Reinforcing good behavior, managing leash manners, and responding calmly to different situations. • Pet Sitting & Companionship – Offering loving care, feeding, playtime, and maintaining routines to keep dogs comfortable. • Understanding Canine Behavior – Recognizing signs of stress, excitement, or discomfort and responding appropriately. • Emergency Preparedness – Knowledge of pet first aid and quick decision-making in case of an emergency. I prioritize building trust with pets and their owners, ensuring every dog receives the best care and attention while you’re away! I prefer to work weekends when I have more time available. I spend most of my time during the week working my full time job and spending time with my own pets. I clean up any accidents your pet may have. I also make sure their environment is safe for them and their owners. Helicopter dog mom!

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 grew up in a chaotic, animal-packed house. Taking care of and learning about the animals I’ve encountered has been a huge driving force for me, for my entire life. My first ever paycheck was as a petsitter, and I’m still enjoying every day that I get to interact with all the precious pets of my community! 🐿️🌲🐿️ My primary availability will be day visits or one-night overnight sitting. 🐾🐈🐾 I will always want to ask lots of questions about your pet’s temperament, routine, training, and all their other quirks. I want to know how I can provide the best care possible for YOUR unique baby. 🦋🌸🦋 I’m able to administer oral and topical medications, and I have lots of experience with elderly and disabled dogs. I am comfortable with pets of all kinds, but I do have a soft spot for big dogs especially! ❤️ I have the most experience with cats and dogs, but I’ve also taken care of reptiles, rodents, birds, and more! I am a busy mom to my own dog, who is pretty needy, so it’s hard for me to accept multiple night overnight stays. I am much more likely to accept day visits (even if it’s a few times/day) and single night overnight visits. I respect every living breathing thing around me. I adore animals of all kinds and I care about their safety! I know how nerve-wracking entrusting your pet’s safety into someone’s hands can be, I have lots of pets of my own and I would take a bullet for them! Every animal deserves to be loved to the fullest. I make sure to provide frequent updates and photos of your pet, so you can feel confident that they are happy and in the best care possible.

About: I have been a dog owner for most of my life, but do not currently have one. I miss having a dog and the companionship they provide. This is why I am hoping to help take care of yours when needed :) I was a dog groomer for about 3 years and loved every minute of it! I'm available to take care of your pet early in the morning, afternoon with advance notice on weekdays, evenings, and nights as well as weekends and holidays. I am open to providing drop-in care, dog walking, and grooming services - whatever you need for your beloved pet. We can discuss when, where, and how you're comfortable with me providing these services.

About: I understand that your pets are family. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I offer pet sitting, house sitting, dog walking, drop-in visits, feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, waste cleanup, playtime, companionship, medication administration (if needed), and lots of love and attention tailored to your pet’s routine. Whether you have energetic dogs, independent cats, or multiple pets, I’m committed to making them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own home. I’m reliable, trustworthy, and treat every home with the same respect I would my own. I believe in clear communication and will gladly provide updates and photos so you can see how your pets are doing while you’re away. Because I am a full-time online student, my schedule is incredibly flexible, allowing me to make pet sitting my top priority. Unlike a traditional 9-to-5 job where I would be away from the house all day, my school structure allows me to work entirely from home on my own terms. This means I have ample open blocks of time throughout the day dedicated solely to pet care. I can easily accommodate structured feeding times, frequent potty breaks, and mid-day play sessions without interruption. Your pets will receive consistent companionship, and because I'm studying from my laptop, I am available to provide the constant supervision, love, and attention they deserve." When caring for pets in your home, my primary goal is to maintain their regular routine so they feel safe and secure while you are away. Seamless Routine Adherence: I strictly follow your established feeding schedules, medication timelines, and specific instructions to keep their environment predictable and stress-free. Meticulous Cat Care: As a multi-cat owner myself, I know the importance of a clean environment. I scoop litter boxes thoroughly during every visit and sweep up any tracked litter. Quality Companionship: Because my full-time student schedule is so flexible, I don't just rush in and out. I dedicate genuine time to interactive playtime with their favorite toys, gentle grooming, or just quiet companionship on the couch while I study. Home Respect & Communication: I respect your space, leave it exactly as I found it, and provide you with detailed daily updates and plenty of photos so you never have to wonder how they are doing.
