Cat Sitting River Bend

“There’s no possible way that Amanda isn’t Gibby’s new favorite person. She spent so much quality time with her and gave us the most wonderful updates. She even noticed a non-emergent condition our cat had and without hesitation, picked up meds and treated her while we were away. We can’t recommend Amanda enough. We’ve had at least 5 other people in the past check in on our kitties and she was world’s above our other experiences. 10/10 Gibby approved!”

About: I loved animals ever since I was a kid and raised and trained my dog Zephyr since he was a year old. I adore all animals care for two rodents of my own named Orchid and Meadow. I often petsit for my family and friends and have taken care of a wide variety of animals. I've taken care of pets of all ages from puppies to my senior dog who currently has from dementia. I am very patient and licensed CNA so I know how to handle a mess. I am a freshman in college though my classes are very light. I'm free after 9am on Mondays and Wednesdays, Tuesdays and Thursdays I'm free after 12:15 though I can come in earlier anytime before 9, Fridays can vary for me but I'm typically free after 9-10 am though sometimes if I have an exam it might be an hour or so later though I can always make arrangements if necessary. I care for pets by following their routine, spending lots of time with them, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m respectful of my client's homes and always clean up after the pets and leave everything as I found it. I After a procedure my dog needed to be crate trained so I know how to handle that.

“It was great to be able to take a vacation and not worry about our beloved furball kitty. Tiffany was able to get a very timid Bella to let her pet and play with her, which is unusual. Tiffany also did a few other jobs for me which was so appreciated. I will definitely book her again for our next adventure...thanks Tiffany!!”

About: I provide expert care for a wide variety of animals, including dogs, cats, birds, fish, reptiles, and small pets. I am uniquely qualified to manage senior felines and medically intensive cats. My background includes rescue work, complex medical management, and specialized nutrition. Pet care is a lifelong passion and a core priority for me. I treat every animal in my care as a cherished family member, ensuring they receive the highest level of attention, safety, and affection. Pet care is my primary focus, allowing me to build my daily and weekly schedules entirely around the needs of the animals in my care. Because I manage a diverse range of species, my routine is structured to provide both consistent companion animal attention and precise habitat monitoring. When visiting your home, my focus is on maintaining absolute security, cleanliness, and the comfort of your pets in their familiar surroundings. Standard Companion Care: I handle feeding, fresh water replacement, litter box scooping, and dog walking. I follow your home security protocols precisely and provide regular photo updates. Advanced Aquatic Care: I check water levels, monitor filtration systems, verify water temperatures, and inspect fish closely for early signs of illness or stress. Specialized Reptile Care: I execute exact dietary plans, verify humidity levels, and ensure heating elements or UV lamps are functioning perfectly. To provide the best possible care, I always welcome written instructions, care guides, or checklists from pet parents. Knowing your pet's unique quirks and daily routine helps me keep them happy and stress-free!

“Maggie did a great job caring for our senior kitty, Jade! She sent daily updates and photos and even arranged her schedule to be there during the fireworks to keep Jade calm and distracted while they were going off. She also picked up our mail for us and the place was clean and tidy when we arrived home. Would highly recommend!”

“Shelby is amazing and went above and beyond for our old kitty! She made extra time to make sure she got her meds even when our cat was putting up a protest and took the time to play and hang with her. She even watered our plants without us asking! Highly recommend and will definitely ask Shelby to sit again!”

“Jennifer was FANTASTIC! Her care was top notch and I felt so secure leaving my kiddos with her. I genuinely think that one of my cats, Toast was disappointed to see us, and not Jennifer. She gave great updates and photos at every visit and we appreciated her so much! I will absolutely contact Jennifer again for care of our kitties.”

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!

“Eryn has been so helpful while I underwent surgery and recover in taking care of my dogs. My dogs loved her.”

About: I grew up on a farm, so I’ve always had animals/pets in my life. I’ve owned everything from small dogs to big dogs and cats. I’m a teacher so all pet care will have to be in the evening after school. I typically will finish the school day at 3:30. I own two cats and provide them with safe home environment with plenty of enrichment. I will make sure that your pet is well taken care of and they’ll have a fun time too.

“Kellen did an amazing job watching our two dogs, Lucky and Chewy, while we were on vacation for about 4 days. He took excellent care of them the whole time — fed them properly and spent a lot of time playing with them so they stayed happy and active. We could tell they were well looked after and content when we got back. He even went above and beyond by bringing our trash can out to the street for us because we had forgotten to do it before we left. That little extra bit of help really meant a lot. Highly recommend Kellen — he’s reliable, caring, and thoughtful!”
