Cat Sitting in Riggs

“Mrs. Mary was so so wonderful and accommodating! I was just a nervous wreck when I left my Tilly home, that the beginning of my vacation wasn’t even enjoyable. However, after her updates I began to feel so much better knowing I had someone there who was really taking her. I would rebook Mary again in a heartbeat.”

About: I have been pet-sitting in my hometown for over 5 years, and I worked for two years in high school at my local vet clinic. I am trained in giving all types of medications, and I have substantial experience in working with animals in all states of health. I have also been exposed to a wide variety of pet behaviors, so I am comfortable working with pets that may need extra attention and care. I also have several senior pets and have fostered kittens in the past, so I love working with pets of all ages! I have spent my entire life loving animals, beginning with the family pets I grew up with. This led me to the veterinary field, where I began fostering and rescuing animals. Through this work, I discovered I have a particular love for senior pets, which led to my family adopting 5 senior dogs and one cat. Currently, I am a pre-veterinary student at Mizzou and I hope to become an Emergency Mixed-Animal Veterinarian! While I am excited to be pursuing my dreams, I really miss my pets and all of the animals I used to work with, so I am looking to fill that void here at school! I am a full time student, and my class schedule varies from day to day. I am usually on campus from 9-3 during the week, and I would love to work with any pets that need care outside of those hours or on the weekends! I strive to provide the best care to every animal I work with by making their comfort my top priority. I know how hard it is to be away from your pets, so I treat every pet how I would want mine to be treated. Outside of my professional experience with animals, I just really enjoy hanging out and spending time with them! So, you can trust that your pets will be loved, spoiled, and excellently cared for while you are away :) I work hard to establish trust with every animal I work with, to ensure that they are as comfortable as possible. I know how stressful it can be for pets when their owners are away, so I try my best to keep them happy and stress-free! I am happy to give medications, play with your pets, or simply hang out with them in order to provide the best quality care.

“Carissa was very communicative and I can tell she really cares for animals. Thank you for squeezing in a drop in visit last minute when my trip was extended.”

About: I have a great deal of experience working with various breeds of dogs. Most of my work has been with rescue animals. I am very patient with animals and put them first while they are in my care. I provide the level of care that I would expect for my fur baby. I can taylor my schedule to fit their needs. I have experience with gerbils, chinchillas, sugar gliders, and birds! I have a three bedroom home with one dog. I am more than willing to watch your pet in my home or travel to yours. I can provide clean food/water bowls, a clean pet bed, and a large size indoor kennel. I do allow my dog on the couch and bed and yours is welcome to do the same. However, my rules are your rules. Therefore if you prefer if your pet not to be allowed on furniture let me know so that I do not start any bad habits. While animals are in my care I will only provide them with food and treats that I get from the owner to avoid any allergies or diet issues. I am very active so I will take your pet on leashed walks, hikes, car rides, and runs! Let me know your preference and I will be sure to accommodate the needs of your pet.

“Elle has an obvious knack with animals. Our older cat is usually reserved with strangers but instantly loved her. All of our animals do. Elle has been so easy to communicate with. We will absolutely book again in the future.”

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.

“Kayla is our number one go to when we are leaving town for a bit. She is great with our dog and cats and always helps us out!”

About: As a lifelong animal lover with over 34 years of experience caring for dogs and cats, I understand how much your pets mean to you. I'm committed to giving them the same love, safety, and personalized attention they get at home. Plus, I'm certified in pet first aid and trained in positive reinforcement techniques, so you can trust your furry friends are in good hands Caring for pets isn't just part of my routine; it's my absolute joy! My days are all about making sure these furry friends get the love, exercise, and attention they deserve. Mornings kick off with walks or potty breaks, followed by feeding and playtime. Throughout the day, I fit in more walks, drop-ins, or daycare sessions tailored to each pet's unique needs. One of the best parts? My home has an amazing acre of fenced-in yard where pets can run free and play to their heart's content. Plus, I've even installed a DIY doggy door so they can come and go as they please. It's the perfect setup for them to feel right at home. Evenings are all about longer walks, cuddles, and winding down together before bed. On a weekly basis, I make sure to balance pet care with my personal schedule, so I'm always available for your pets, whether it's during the week or on weekends. My goal is to create a safe, loving space where pets feel like they're part of the family. For me, pet care isn't just a job—it's my passion! I have a fenced yard and one high energy pup to keep your dog company or if they are a low energy type even better cuz then they can hang out with me I have a fenced yard and one high-energy pup who can keep your dog company. If your dog is more low-energy, that's great too—they can hang out with me and be my buddy. No one is ever left feeling lonely here. My home is a lot like a dog park, with plenty of fenced in outside space for them to enjoy. If your dog does well at the dog park, I’m confident they’ll thrive with me!

“Kalynn has been absolutely wonderful with my two kitties. She has loved them as her own and has sent plenty of pictures of my boys. She is warm and friendly and I would highly recommend her to anyone. Thanks for taking care of and loving my cats while I was out of town Kalynn!”

“Amanda was so great! We felt completely comfortable with her taking care of our cat while we were out of town. This was our first time using Rover and we will absolutely ask for Amanda the next time we need help.”

“Jennifer did everything I asked and she sent communications with each visit. Truman was a pill and wouldn’t come out and she was truly concerned until I said it’s his way. I’ll use see her again”

About: I've always been an animal lover! I grew up with dogs & cats, and I currently have a 50lb shepherd, who's full of energy, so I know the importance of play-time & giving all the belly rubs, love & attention a fur baby needs! I know how I want my own dog to be treated when I'm away, so I will always be sure to do the same for yours! I've also pet sat for friends & family over the years, so I'm used to following any guidelines you provide. I'm currently a stay-at-home mom, so I've got a lot of flexibility with my schedule and would love to help care for your pets anytime! Currently, I'm looking to do drop-in visits at your home, as my fur baby does better as a solo pup. I will respect your home & prioritize outside time as long as the weather permits! I love all dogs, but prefer non-aggressive dogs; lots of energy is totally fine though, I'm used to that with my dog!

About: I LOVE animals of all sorts. I've personally had cats for 23 years. I also have a bunny. I have taken care of other people's dogs for the past few years, and have been cat-sitting and house sitting for about 15 years. I am currently working full time but able to make my own hours at work, to make sure that there is adequate time for your furbaby. I provide tons of snuggles, attention, walks for dogs (or cats if they are trained to do so) at your preference. Available for walks, drop-ins and overnights. I am currently unable to care for your pets in MY home because I have 2 cats and a bunny, but I can provide tons of affection, clean their litterbox and/or yard poops daily. If your dog or cat is playful, I am happy to engage with them in that way as well to exert energy.

About: I’ve loved and taken care of animals my whole life (farm!) I can also administer shots and medications as well as skilled in senior care. I am available full time! I can also work in the evenings or any odd hours you might need. I am available weekends as well. Also please keep in mind I do not charge extra for more than one dog if I am dog sitting in your house, my rate is set and it is that amount for as many animals as you have. I have two sweet fur babies at home to keep your pet company! We can go on long walks in our big neighborhood, trails or dog park.

About: Hello! My name is Ben. I've always been an animal guy and just love spending time with all sorts of critters. I've worked at a zoo, volunteered at an aquarium, cared for lab animals, and taken in "problem" dogs and cats throughout my life and helped them be more manageable. I wouldn't say I'm a dog or cat trainer by any means, but I get along with all animals well above the norm and I love pets of all types, scaley, feathery, and invertebrate-friends included! I'm currently unemployed and will most likely be moving out of state soon as my wife is in vet school and about to graduate. My week is regimented but highly flexible, so don't be afraid to ask for what you need! My wife and I currently have a dog named Churro and a gecko named Wobbit, both of which get stressed easily, so for now no visits at our home. As such I also have to be home at least a few times throughout the day. However, my time is quite flexible so I can spend dedicated time with your pets as needed or stop in as often as you'd like.

“My second time booking with Tricia and another great experience! Excellent communication and she always sends the cutest pictures of my cat! Thanks Tricia!”

About: I am an owner of 2 dogs and 3 potbelly pigs. I love playing with them and tending to their needs. I also love my walks with them. My animals make my everyday worth waking up to. I am available anyday any hour any week. Even holidays. Your animals will arrive happy and go home happy. Here at my house there never is a dull moment. Our dogs are 5 mths old to 3 years old. My pigs bella and Wilbur are 4 yrs old and Dewey is 3. They always brighten my days and make my nights better after I tuck them all in their beds with their blankets and pillows. I have love for all animals. There is a photo of me and a small white pup. His name is velcro. I've been puppy sitting and boarding him off an on for over a year. His owners have never complained and they r kept happy. I even take velcro once a year to get groomed and have small outings with me. :) For those of you that have dogs that are skittish around bigger dogs perhaps a meet n greet should happen first or maybe this isnt the right fit or you can trust me with your precious baby. I'm fine with whatever decision the owners make. My Harley can be a bit much which is why I keep him separate from others or he can go down the street to his birth moms too. :) And in case you are wondering what i am doing in my profile photo i am teaching Harley to dance to country music. I recently purchased an acre of land and soon will be buying more. Both in Missouri. If you trust me with your furbabies you wont be disappointed. Thell return to you happy n active. :) ALL MY EARNINGS FROM ROVER WILL GO TOWARDS HELPING ANIMALS IN NEED ALL ACROSS THE U.S. I DONATE TO FUNDRAISERS WHERE I SEE FIT.
