About: I’ve been around animals my entire life, and animals hold a special place in my heart . I’m currently a Pre-Veterinary student at the University of Central Missouri, and for the past five years, I’ve worked as a veterinary assistant at Pleasant Hill Animal Clinic, where my dad is a veterinarian. I’ve also been pet sitting for the past two years, caring for pets of all ages—from playful 10-month-old to sweet 12-year-old seniors. I have experience administering medications, including insulin injections for diabetic dogs, and I always make sure each pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for. I truly consider the dogs I care for as part of my extended family, and I can’t wait to meet your furry best friend and give them the same love and attention I’d give my own. I currently work part-time as a veterinary assistant, and I’m typically available every day except Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday. On those days, I occasionally have morning or afternoon availability, and I’m always available after 6 PM. I offer in-home care, boarding, and drop-in visits. Even on my busiest days, I always have a lunch break, so I’m never away from pets in my care for more than six hours at a time. Your pet’s comfort and well-being are my top priority, and I strive to provide dependable, loving care at all times. I have a fully fenced yard and one friendly Great Dane who can be easily kenneled or separated as needed. My home also features a dedicated, dog-proofed room that’s perfect for free roaming and playtime. Whether your pup prefers quiet relaxation or active engagement, I’m able to provide a safe, comfortable, and enriching environment tailored to their needs.

“Hollys communication is great! I appreciate that she was willing to cut walks short during a heat wave and hang with Pepe inside a little bit to give him the full time together!”


“Aaryn is a wonderful dog walker! She came over to my house prior to starting so my puppy would be familiar with her when she can to the house on her first day to walk her. My puppy loved when she came over to walk and play with her. I would highly recommend her for any needs you have for your dog.”

I also have a blue heeler at home that keeps me on my toes. I have a very friendly and energetic blue heeler at home that loves to play with everyone. I have worked at a doggie daycare before, so I have experience with dog interactions, including new dogs.

“Most caring individual with pets and pet parents! Truly goes above and beyond to build relationships with the pups! Jockey is eagerly waiting for mom and dad to work long hours again so he can see his new friend!”

“On short notice and without a meet and greet, Madison, took my best friend on a walk when I couldn’t and made sure she was as loved as well. I’m glad I booked her to take my Berkley on a walk!”
