“Raelee was incredible with Ollie. Early the first day he was cuddled up next to her and he normally doesn't like other people in his house. I got lots of pictures that showed how happy he was. When we got back, you couldn't even tell someone else had been here. I will definitely use her again!”


“Jessica was so kind and took great care of our anxious pup! She updated everyday with pictures and how things were going. She stayed in our home and left it in great condition as well. We will definitely use her again and would recommend her to anyone!”


“Ellie was amazing!! She stayed in our house with our four fur babies for almost two weeks, and we were never worried about them, their happiness, or their safety. Even when the power went out, she went above and beyond to take care of everyone. She sent us updates every day, and we were so happy to know everyone was in good hands! The fact that she works from home is SUCH a gift, too! She was present, engaged, and we really felt like the money was well-spent.”


“We had never used Rover before as we were hesitant to leave our babies with strangers. I chose Abby from reading her great reviews. She did an amazing job with our 2 dogs and cat. We knew they’d been well taken care of by the way they acted when we got home. She communicated well and sent daily pictures. She stayed at our home and even washed and made the bed! She left our home great. I would highly recommend her!”


About: I have never lived WITHOUT an animal in my home. I have raised many dogs and cats, from newborn to full grown. I have also had many other types of animals in my home such as horses, bunnies, reptiles, birds, etc. I promise I will take care of your pet like it is my own :) I am currently working full time in Liberty MO, 6am-2pm. I wake up at 4am to start my day and I take my own dog outside and play with her to get some energy out until I have to leave for work. I live in an apartment, so after work, if the weather isn't too bad, I take my dog to the Stocksdale Dog Park after work.

“Daniel was GREAT while house sitting my golden! Very attentive and sent daily photos and even daily logs. I have already booked Daniel for another stay and will continue to book him in the future.”


“We contacted Lilia last minute due to our sitter backing out. She was so helpful and nice. Our big pup is a special case and needs daily medication. Lilia not only gave him his meds, she worked with him on his manners. She kept us informed about our fur babies and quite has been the best sitter we’ve had for the boys! She sent us a ton of pictures! What fur parent doesn’t love that!? 5 out of 5 stars easily!”

“Jenny is a great sitter! She took such good care of our 4 pets - 2 dogs, 2 cats - sending us pic and video updates and generally being communicative, We felt very at ease leaving our babies in her care!”


“Torie took great care of my doggies and my home! She is always so sweet and attentive with my pups, and she did a great job of checking in and giving me updates while I was out of town.”


“Kelly was fantastic! She stayed with our dog at our house for three nights. Our dog was so well taken care of, happy, and enjoyed his time with her. She kept us updated each day with messages and photos. We will use her again when we need someone. Thank you!!”


About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats my whole life, always feeding, walking, and loving them. I’ll treat your pets with the same care and attention. I am currently working a hospice job & working at a restaurant. I’m looking to do something in my free time involving something I love! In my home, pets get safe, loving care with walks, play, and cuddles. In yours, I follow routines exactly, ensuring comfort, happiness, and trust every visit.

“Lucas stayed with my pups for over a week and he had great communication and provided an ample amount of photos. I appreciate all the love, scratches, and attention you showed my dogs. Would recommend Lucas for his services- thank you!”


About: I've grown up around dogs and have experience caring for a wide range of breeds, sizes, and energy levels. I've helped with everything from daily walks and feeding to playtime, bathing, and basic commands. I'm comfortable with both high-energy pups and older dogs who need a gentler touch. What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals, my patience, and the time I take to make sure each dog feels safe, happy, and loved-whether they're staying at my home or just out for a walk. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I already spend a lot of time around animals. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide consistent care throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, and weekends. Whether it’s a walk, drop-in visit, or overnight stay, I make sure each pet gets my full attention and care as if they were my own. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or visiting a client’s, safety and trust are my top priorities. I always take time to understand each dog’s needs, routines, and personality. In my home, I create a calm, clean, and pet-friendly space where dogs can feel comfortable and secure. I supervise all play and rest time, make sure they have fresh water, and stick closely to the owner’s instructions. When visiting a client’s home, I respect their space, follow feeding and walk schedules carefully, and keep everything as close to normal as possible for the pet’s comfort.

“Skylar was so perfect watching my fur babies! She stayed overnight and made them feel safe and was so good at communicating with me! She also came over an extra time with no questions when I was worried about my doggie door! 10/10!”


About: I’ve taken care of puppies and other small dogs since I was 15. Neighbors and friends and family have relied on me to watch, walk and feed their fur babies. I’m currently a stay at home mom so I’ll be able to walk anytime. I try to get out in the fresh air daily as needed. So excited! I have a friendly, lovable dog that will keep you fur baby company. I also will make sure the pet is well feed. I can easily crate if needed.

“Ali was great! Very attentive and follows instructions. Most of all she was able to work with our very timid dog. Good communication throughout. Will be using here again for sure! She's a sweetheart.”


About: I treat every dog like family—not just a job. I learn their quirks, their favorite toys, and what makes their tail wag. I build trust with both dogs and their humans, creating a calm, loving environment that feels like home. I will ALWAYS send updated pictures a videos! Even with a full-time job, pet care is a priority I plan around, not squeeze in. I only accept clients I can fully commit to—meaning your pet gets the time, energy, and attention they deserve. I offer early morning, evening, and weekend care, and I’m highly organized to keep everything running smoothly. Pet care isn’t a side hustle for me—it’s a passion I build into my daily life. When pets stay with me, they become part of the family. I provide a safe, clean, and cozy environment with plenty of playtime, cuddles, and structure. I stick closely to their home routines—feeding, walks, medications, and bedtime habits—so they feel secure and comfortable. I make sure they get mental stimulation, physical activity, and lots of love throughout the day. In-home care means your pet stays in their familiar space, which helps reduce stress. I keep everything consistent with your instructions—from feeding and potty breaks to walks, play, and downtime. I respect your home like it’s my own and always send updates, photos, and quick check-ins to keep you at ease while you’re away.
