We’re so grateful to have found Tiffany to care for Hank while we were away. She’s an excellent communicator, and we truly appreciated the detailed updates and photos she sent throughout our trip. Hank looked happy and well cared for in every picture, which gave us tremendous peace of mind. We will absolutely be booking with Tiffany again and can’t recommend her highly enough!

Maddie checked on my cat and took care of my plants when I was gone for 2 weeks. I couldn’t be happier, my cat is doing great and the plants look better than when I left. Thanks Maddie!

About: I've had pets for ages, cats & dogs. Right now I don't have any, home is lacking! I have a special heart for smaller dogs! Right now, I'm working from home part time. So am pretty flexible watching your pet. My preference is to have your pet here in my home. I have a large fenced in back yard, dogs seem to love roaming in it! I prefer to crate at night and have always crated my dog when leaving home. I find dogs seem more secure when crated.

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.

Monet was great with our puppy! Hazel is a shy girl but she warmed up to Monet really quickly. One of the days she dropped in on Hazel it was storming so she took the extra effort to turn the TV on so Hazel had some noise to distract her from the storm. We look forward to continuing to work with Monet!

About: I have taken care of animals for as long as I can remember! I have always loved being around animals and caring for them. I am committed to providing loving, reliable care and making sure your pets feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. When I come to care for your pets, play with them, and walk them, I will dedicate my time to giving them the attention and love they deserve. I am willing to adapt to your pet’s routine and individual needs to ensure they receive the best care possible. I have dogs of my own and understand how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your furry family members. As a teacher and Master’s student, I pride myself on being responsible, dependable, and communicative. I will always treat your pets as if they were my own. I am currently enjoying my summer break from teaching and have a flexible schedule for drop-in visits, dog walks, and house sitting. I can often accommodate daytime visits and some last-minute bookings. During the school year, I am available before and after work, evenings, weekends, and holidays. When caring for your pets, I will do my best to maintain their normal routine and make them feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away. Whether I am caring for your pet in your home or on a walk, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I do my best to maintain their normal routine, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family member. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to provide a calm, caring environment where they can feel at ease. I enjoy spending time outdoors, taking dogs for walks, playing with them, and making sure they get the exercise and mental stimulation they need. I am also happy to provide updates and photos throughout the stay so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. For Example 30-Minute Dog Walks include a fun stroll around your neighborhood or a nearby trail to give your pup the exercise, fresh air, and mental stimulation they need throughout the day. 30-Minute Drop-In Visits include potty breaks, feeding, fresh water, playtime, belly rubs, and plenty of attention to keep your pet happy and comfortable while you’re away. House Sitting includes staying with your pets in the comfort of their own home, providing companionship, potty breaks, meals, walks, playtime, and lots of love and attention throughout the stay.

Morgan did a great job caring for Mr. Thick Whiskers. She provided helpful daily updates and found a new hiding spot for his food after it became apparent that we have an acrobat cat. I would highly recommend her.

About: What sets me apart from others is I will try to go that extra mile for your babies. I know how difficult it is to leave them at home. 📣📣*PLEASE INCLUDE KENNEL IN BOARDING PROCESS!* 📣📣 🚨FIRST COME FIRST SERVE🚨 If you request a booking and choose to wait to book I may book someone else for your dates if requested and ready to book. If your dog is intact please bring diapers/let me know so I can set up accordingly. I request if you are needing services it be two weeks in advance. I’m very flexible as long as you bend with me. I do have a full-time job so your pet may be left alone while I’m at work. Please do not hesitate to send me a message if you have any questions! 🙃 Boarding: Your animals may be left in a kennel alone on Tuesday-Thursday while I am at work. I do come home on lunch to let dogs out whenever possible. Drop off and pickups may be done with my husband if needed (if I’m working at drop off or pick up time), he takes care of my boarders just as much as I do! House sitting: Your animal may be left alone when I am working. There also may be times I can’t show up at start time of the house sitting request. Please schedule a time to meet to distribute keys/door codes. Depending on distance from my job to the sitting, I can come back during lunch to let your animal outside to potty. I am offering House Sitting & Boarding. House Sitting: I request everything I need to care for your pet at meet&greet or start of booking depending on if I’m available. Boarding: Your pet will be crated in my living room while we are gone, or while I’m at work on Tuesday- Thursday as my husband is home Friday- Monday. Your animal must be okay with being around other dogs while eating or they may be crated during that time. All animals are allowed on the couch and when outside will be tethered for their safety. I request your pet is crate and potty trained.

Lulu took such wonderful care of our cat, Yul! Her updates and photos put us at ease while we were away for the weekend. From booking to drop in visits, she was super communicative, flexible, and so attentive to our boy. I can’t recommend her enough for anyone looking for pet care!

Alex was so sweet and amazing with our dogs! We were able to book with her last minute and she was super flexible/accommodating. She sent me pictures and updates, and had great communication. We were even able to extend our booking with her which was super helpful. I would definitely book with her again for future dog sits!
