Cat Sitting in Pleasant Valley

About: I treat every pet like they are my own and focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Over the past four years, I have cared for family and friends’ dogs of different breeds, sizes, and personalities, which has helped me become patient, dependable, and attentive to each pet’s needs. I am comfortable caring for energetic puppies, including helping reinforce routines and basic behaviors, as well as older dogs who may need a slower pace, extra patience, medication reminders, or additional attention. I also make it a priority to keep owners updated with communication and pictures so they can feel confident their pets are in good hands. Pet care fits well into my routine because I have a flexible schedule throughout most of the week. This summer I would love to care for your furry friends before I move to start my first teaching job! I am organized, dependable, and able to plan my schedule to make sure pets receive the attention, exercise, and care they need consistently. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I make sure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of exercise and playtime, and receive lots of attention and care. I also keep the home clean and respect the owner’s instructions for routines, medications, crate schedules, or any special needs. I understand that every pet is different, so I adjust my care based on their personality and energy level. Some pets need extra play and activity, while others need a calm environment and patience. I also make communication a priority by sending updates and pictures so owners feel confident and connected while they are away.

About: I grew up on a farm with many types of animals and hard work. I have worked in veterinary clinics as a kennel attendant and now a veterinary assistant for over 10 years. I have experience with dogs, cats, and exotic pets. I'm comfortable caring for elderly and sick pets as well as giving medications. I live and work in the Liberty MO area. I am an early morning person and can do early morning drop in visits and walks before 7 am (including weekends and holidays). I typically get my lunch break between 12-2 pm. I can come and do a drop in visit or do a short walk over my break. Evenings are a possibility but are less flexible and open. I can offer enrichment with treats, playtime and exercise. I like a good cuddle session as well as a hyper wrestling match, or active fetch game. I enjoy being out in God's creation and am open to more nature based walks if you have an active curious pup (like my own dog). I think cats should also be enriched and loved. I like playing games with cats and helping them feel comfortable and spoiled. I have owned a lizard of my own and am not afraid of reptiles or rodents. I think exotic pets need enrichment, entertainment, and love as well.

“Misti is the BEST sitter I we’ve ever had. Our pets love her! We were gone for two weeks and she took great care of them. Attentive to their needs, took them on long walks, and even updated us on some eating habit changes. Our little void wasn’t eating as much as he usually does, she immediately let us know and we figured it out together. She is a GEM!!!”

About: Hi! I’m Michaela, a certified dog trainer through Animal Behavior College (ABC). I’ve been officially training service and pet dogs for the past two years, though my passion for dog training began when I was just 15 years old. I specialize in pet dogs, and training service dogs for individuals with PTSD, psychiatric disabilities, and medical alert needs, and I also offer basic and advanced obedience training as well as trick training for those who want to have extra fun with their dogs! I love helping people build stronger relationships with their pets whether through structured training or playful bonding. I also enjoy pet sitting and dog walking, making sure every animal feels happy, safe, and cared for while their owners are away. When I’m not training, I love doing dog sports with my own dogs and encouraging others to explore new ways to have fun with their pets, ask me about dog sports if you are interested! I’m also experienced in caring for exotic pets, including reptiles and rodents. Dog training is my full time job! I can fit in quick schedules for dog walking almost anytime of day! And get in training sessions within the week! I’m also very flexible with boarding I have a fully fenced yard and two friendly dogs of my own. If your dog isn’t comfortable around other dogs, no problem at all I can easily keep them separated to ensure everyone feels safe and relaxed. My home is very dog friendly, with plenty of toys, enrichment activities, and space to play. There’s even a creek nearby where I love taking dogs for peaceful walks, and I have agility equipment for those who want to try something new and fun! Whether your dog loves to play, train, or just relax, I make sure each pet feels comfortable, cared for, and happy like they’re on their own little vacation while you’re away.

“Jessi was amazing with my pups. They can be a handful, but she was extremely patient and professional. I will definitely rebook with her in the future.”

Tiffany C.

“Stephanie was absolutely wonderful! One of my rescue dogs I adopted had been abused in the past and he is normally very weary of strangers, but he warmed right up to Stephanie! Stephanie also provided a lot of updates and photos which made me feel comfortable leaving them for a couple of days. I will definitely be using Stephanie in the future for our dog sitting needs. ❤️”

“Riley cared for our dogs in our home while we were on vacation. I was completely comfortable with her having a key to our home and her ability to deal with our dogs that are high energy and anxious. She sent TONS of pictures and it was evident the dogs enjoyed her drop in visits. She’s dependable, communicates well, and is knowledgeable about dog behavior. I can’t say enough great things about her and am looking forward to her working with and walking the girls in the future!”

About: Hi! I’m Angie, and I have over three years of experience caring for dogs and cats. During this time, I’ve developed skills in establishing routines, teaching basic commands, and assisting with potty training. I’m passionate about animals and i understand just how important they are to us. I have two dogs and one cat who are friendly with other pets. I take pride in providing a clean, safe, and loving environment where your furry friends will feel right at home. I currently work full-time from home, which allows me the flexibility to walk or play with your pups! I’m available on weekday and weekends. I have a spacious three-level home, perfect for caring for your pup, along with a large, fenced backyard for plenty of outdoor fun. I also have two friendly corgis who love making new friends and will happily keep your fur baby company. For pups who are still potty training, I provide a kennel to ensure their comfort and safety. If your dog or cat prefers not to be around other pets, no problem! I can section off areas of my home, giving them plenty of room to roam while maintaining a stress-free environment. To ensure the health and safety of all pets, I do require that they are spayed/neutered and up-to-date on their vaccinations. Cleanliness is a priority—I keep all toys and areas spotless!

“Laura has been amazing! I have booked her a couple times now and she has been a lifesaver! She is great with my fur babies, she is reliable, and always on time! We appreciate her so much!”

Beth M.

“Erin is the best! I received pictures and updates daily. She went above and beyond my expectations, and I will definitely be requesting her again! My little guy loved her!”
