“Just got back from my trip yesterday and Monet did a wonderful job with my Greta. She was patient and professional. She takes pet care very seriously and I’ve already booked her for my next trip.”
“Lulu has been wonderful! She has been walking my 10 month old puppy who was not great on a leash but seems to be doing well! My puppy cries for her when she drops her off! Lulu is very punctual and professional and has answered any questions I have. She also leaves a detailed report after each walk. I would highly recommend her!”
“Amber has been the best! Used her on a weekly-basis for walks.. reliable, flexible with my changing schedule and took great care of my dog who is pretty selective with who he trusts!”
About: Hello! I have been taking care of animals since I could remember! I grew up with a Bichon for 17 years. In between, I have had Guinea pigs for 8 years.

“Katie was AMAZING! There was great communication and she always showed up on time with a smile on her face. Our dog absolutely loved her. He would wait at the window for her when I would tell him that she was coming. I felt very comfortable in having her walk him and had absolutely zero worries. I will definitely be using her again in the future for all my dog walking needs.”
About: Been taking care of a doggo since I was six... From bathing them after a nice roll in some poop to giving them all the snuggles in the world, I have done it all. I know the true responsibility of owning and caring for a dog, as I would tend to all the needs of my lovely golden retriever. They are pure joy & love, and I know they mean the world to us owners, but they also require lots of work! So I'm here to help. With a flexible schedule and a passion for pups, let me be the one to make sure your special k9 is living their best life. Whether it's a brisk walk or a weekend of fetch, it's a happy doggy. I am working from home with a flexible schedule! Eager for a morning and evening walks and afternoon strolls around the block! Always room for pets during the day. No dogs or kids in this apartment. Safe environment for dogs with parks locally to run around or lakes to walk to. Home does have stairs.
About: I have had dogs since I was young and I learned how to train puppies/dogs from my father. I am very friendly and loving with dogs, but authoritative as well when needed. I can trim your dogs nails as well as bathe/groom them. I communicate well about concerns and updates regarding an owners pet. Daily activities with your animal is what I love; whether that’s walking, going to the park, or playing in the yard. I have had to take out puppies throughout the night to potty train as well. I am able to take care of your animals anytime for general activities or pet care. I am available to house sit your dog while you are away. It’s possible to board a dog at my house during the day or even overnight, but only small/medium dogs because I own so many animals already and there’s not a lot of space for large dogs. I can come to your home and do anything you would like for your doggo; whether that’s playing in the yard, going for a walk, feeding, going out to go potty, or even light grooming. I can clean after your animal to ensure there’s no messes in your home. At my house I have a fenced in yard in a safe neighborhood with two friendly dogs of my own to play and keep each other occupied. There is a sidewalk all throughout my neighborhood perfect for daily walks.

About: I’ve been taking on pet sitting gigs for over 6 years! I’ve cared for all kinds of dogs big and small, and cats of all ages! I grew up with a very high-energy Labrador and feisty barn-cat-turned-house-cat. I now just live with a Snowshoe kitty named Pepper. I will care for your pets with utmost respect and tailor to their needs. And yes, I will take LOTS of pictures of your pets, and maybe even a full photoshoot😉 I am 23 years old, a recent Mizzou graduate, and a full-time remote worker. I currently work full-time remotely, so I have flexibility to see your pet throughout the day and much room in the evening after 5pm. While I work, I can often stay with the pet(s) during the day to take them out, keep them company, and tailor to their specific needs. I also strive to make the house look just like it had before the family left.

“Madison was so great and came in last minute when I needed someone! She gave me lots of updates and checked in with me often! Definitely recommend!”

Dillon has been excellent. He takes my two-year-old Airdale terrier on walks 2x a week and I am seeing great improvement in my pups energy level, and response to vocal command. He’s also very respectful of my house, I work from home, and both my dogs greet him when he comes in and it’s within enthusiasm to see him and no barking. I can tell Dillon has a great way with my pups, and really listens to their needs as well as giving them direction to be good walkers. We’re working up to having him walk both my dogs because they both enjoy time with him so much. Highly recommend.
Kayla, I see why you have amazing reviews across the board and repeat clients. Thank you so much for taking care of Clover while we were away and for meeting up before hand for a meet and greet with Clover. We know she is a lot with her high energy. So it was reassuring to hear and see that you were comfortable with her energy. We appreciate you so much!
