Pet Sitting Sage

“We had a wonderful experience with Andrea! She was reliable, caring, and very attentive to our dog. She kept us updated throughout our time away, which gave us complete peace of mind. Our dog was happy and well cared for when we came home. We would absolutely recommend her and will definitely use her again!”

About: Hello 👋🏻 My name is Kaylee and I’ve been a professional pet sitter for about 5 years now. Over the course of those 5 years I’ve cared for all of the following animals: dogs, cats, birds, fish, snakes, turtles, lizards, hamsters, rabbits and horses. I’m in college getting an animal science degree and I’ve worked with a wide age range of animals. From puppies all the way to senior dogs and kittens all the way to elderly cats. *please know that while my listed prices are accurate additional surcharges may apply. (All prices will be disclosed before booking) I have a lot of availability for pet care in my schedule, I do have college classes I must attend and the occasional appointment with these being non-negotiable blocks of time I must leave the clients home to attend (which will be discussed ahead of time). However aside from that I have a plethora of time available to dedicate solely to your pet(s). *jobs that are “constant care” and/or have strict rules regarding how long the pet(s) can be left alone WILL incur a surge charge. I haven’t had a pet escape or get lost on my watch yet, and I don’t plan to start now. My childhood dog escaped once as kid, and even thought he was quickly found, it made me realize the horror of potentially losing a pet. As a result, I take pet safety very seriously. I will not walk a dog without a leash. I always double and triple check that doors are closed/locked (when appropriate).

“Helpful and caring for my pup. Understanding, flexible. Would use again. Thank you!!”

About: I have pets for over 20 years; from puppies and kittens all the way to their senior years. With the majority of my babies being rescues, I have the pleasure of experiencing their early days all the way to their golden years as they prepared to cross the rainbow bridge. This has provided me a ton of experience to provide a wide range of range of care from when they are little and requiring lots of attention through teething and basic skills, all the way to the special care that older pets need such as assistance walking, medication and potty troubles. Currently, our pack includes one growing girl, a two year old mixed breed dog who gets along splendiferously with 3 dignified cats and 1 who begrudgingly tolerates her. In my years of pet sitting, I have worked with dogs and cats of various ages and breeds. I have always respected every owner's parenting style and decisions. I also respect the boundaries of the owner's home as I would hope someone would of mine. I am free most days, including weekends. I'm comfortable with several short visits throughout the day or long visits just to keep your babies company! Safety and the physical and mental health of your friend(s) are my first priority. From my experience as a foster, I’ve learned that every pet has different needs and I’ve learned to identify and address those needs. I regularly do full body inspections on my own pets and will do the same for yours to ensure they are safe and happy when you return!

“Meghan is literally best! Super flexible and easy to communicate with. I felt totally safe with her in my home caring for my dog while I was out of town. 100% will use her again in the future for travel. She’s the best!!”

About: I’ve always had a big heart for animals and genuinely enjoy spending time with pets of all personalities. I’m patient, attentive, and understand that every pet has their own routine, quirks, and comfort level. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just having someone nearby, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at. I’ll treat your pets with the same love, care, and attention I’d want for my own, while making sure you feel comfortable knowing they’re in good hands. 🐾❤️ I have a very flexible schedule! My husband and I operate our own dog poop scooping business, which allows me to have plenty of flexibility throughout the week. Outside of that, my schedule is generally open, so I’m available for walks, drop-ins, pet sitting, and plenty of quality time with your pets. 🐾 Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I’m attentive, patient, and will carefully follow any instructions you provide regarding feeding, medications, walks, routines, or special needs. I understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to make sure they feel comfortable and secure in my care. I’ll always be mindful of doors, gates, leashes, and surroundings, and I’ll keep you updated so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. 🐾

About: I’ve been helping my friends and family take care of their pets for years while taking care of my own elderly dog. I’ve helped with feeding, bathing, and medication for the animals and provide the upmost care for them. I’m currently available every day of the week at certain times due to college. Times im available are; Mon 10:30AM-10PM, Tues 5PM-10PM, Weds 10:30AM-1:30PM and 7PM-10PM, Thurs 3:30PM-10PM, Fri 6AM-10PM, Sat 6AM-10PM, Sun 6AM-10PM. I’d love to take care of any new furry friends and talk to you more about how it can fit into my schedule if you’d like to book! I’m very gentle with animals, if they’re afraid to approach me or be around me I’ll keep my distance to keep them calm as possible. I’ll set their food and water and wait for them to eat in their own time since I already have the habit of doing so with my own dog due to him being very picky about what he eats. I always keep a close eye on them.

“Sara is absolutely wonderful with our new 4 month old puppy! She is great at responding back to messages, sends update pictures, and is just super sweet with our new family member. We will be continuing to use our services as she checks in on our puppy mon-fri 😊!!”

“My dog loves having Karina drop in. She gives him so much love and attention, plays ball with him, and loads up his puzzles with treats to keep him mentally stimulated. Always a great experience!”

“Once again, Monica saved the day! I had a last minute request, and she was so helpful and accommodating. She gives me such peace of mind, and she checks in with me in real-time with photos of my very happy Tango! Having a dog with diabetes makes is very difficult to leave town last minute, and I’m so thankful for Monica and Rover!”

“Amazing care taker! Highly recommend 👍 10 out of 10. Will definitely rebook for all future bookings 🐾”

About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up in a home with several pets, primarily Golden Retrievers, and had the privilege of helping raise two litters of puppies. Those early experiences taught me the value of patience, consistency, and creating a loving environment where dogs can flourish. When I was sixteen, our family dog welcomed a litter of eleven puppies, and I was actively involved throughout her pregnancy, the delivery, and the puppies’ early development. One of those puppies became my soul dog, deepening my appreciation for the extraordinary bond between dogs and their families. Over the years, I’ve gained knowledge with caring for puppies, adult dogs, seniors, and pets recovering from surgery. Above all, I make it a priority to help every pet feel protected, nurtured and content while maintaining the routine they’re accustomed to. Whether we’re exploring a neighborhood trail, playing with their favorite toys, practicing positive reinforcement with owner-approved treats, or simply enjoying quiet cuddle time, I strive to make every pet feel like they’re spending time with a trusted friend—not just a sitter. Building trust is one of the most rewarding parts of pet sitting. Every dog deserves patience, kindness, and individualized attention, and I take the time to create a genuine connection with each one. My hope is that you’ll return home to a settled companion with the confidence that they were treated like a cherished member of my own family. I currently have open availability as I am working instacart and obtaining my Yoga teacher training certification. If you need someone reliable and loving to take care of your fur baby, I will be there! I understand that every pet and every family has unique routines and preferences. My priority is to provide care that aligns with your pet’s normal schedule so they feel safe and loved while you’re away. Whether you need drop-in visits, walks, or overnight care, I’m happy to accommodate your needs. I’ll treat your home with the same respect I would my own by keeping it clean, tidy, and secure. My goal is for you to return to a happy pet and a home that’s just as you left it.

About: I have taken care of cats since I was about 10 years old and dogs since I was about 13. Shortly after I moved out I adopted puppy then a kitten. It was definitely fun training my own puppy. I am currently a stay at home mom who also homeschools my kids. Our dogs are taken out for walks during the day and night. We love playing and cuddling with our cats and dogs throughout our school day. We crate our dogs when we are not home. If your pet is needed to be in a crate when you are not home, I can ensure that will happen.

“We hired Alyssa for a full week to drop-in on our medically fragile dog and quirky cat and she did an amazing job!!! Her check-ins were timely and her updates were helpful and informative. She handled their extra needs with ease. We felt so comfortable knowing she was looking after them so well.”

About: We know it can be nerve-racking to trust someone new with your pet. Jonathan and I care for pets together. Jonathan brings a calm presence, a second set of eyes, and dependable backup, while I bring more than 10 years of hands on professional animal care experience from shelters, dog daycare and boarding, zoos, and other animal care settings. I've worked with dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, personalities, and care needs, from puppies, kittens and seniors to pets needing medication or a little extra patience. My experience taught me how to read animal body language, notice subtle changes, handle pets safely, and follow detailed care instructions while keeping their normal routine as familiar as possible. We typically attend Meet & Greets and complete visits together, so your pet has a chance to get comfortable with both of us and you know exactly who will be caring for them. Whether your pet needs a walk, playtime, meals, medication, enrichment, or simply some company, we'll follow your preferences and get to know what makes them happiest. You'll get plenty of photos and a real update after every visit so you never have to wonder how they're doing. Our schedule is flexible, and we plan our bookings carefully, keep our Rover calendar current, and make sure we have enough time to give each pet our full attention. Unless we've agreed on a different arrangement with you beforehand, we typically complete our bookings together, which gives your pet two attentive caregivers and provides extra attention and safety during walks and visits. We also like to attend Meet & Greets together so you and your pet can get comfortable with both of us before the first visit. Before the first visit, we like to learn your pet’s routine, equipment, boundaries, preferences, and anything else that helps them feel comfortable and safe. Long instructions and little quirks are always welcome — you know your pet best. We double check doors, gates, collars, harnesses, and leashes, and make sure your home is secure before we leave. On walks, we stay aware of our surroundings, pay attention to your dog’s body language, and give unfamiliar people or animals plenty of space when needed. We never allow off leash time or interactions with other pets or people unless you’ve specifically approved it. We also understand that not every pet wants immediate attention from someone new. Shy or cautious pets are given the space and time they need to warm up at their own pace. Our goal is simple: follow your preferences, respect your pet’s comfort, and care for them as safely and thoughtfully as we would want someone to care for our own.

About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 10 years and genuinely treat every pet as if they were my own. I also live on a farm where I care for a variety of animals, which has given me hands-on experience understanding different personalities, temperaments, behaviors, and individual care needs. I know that no two animals are the same, and I take the time to understand what makes each one feel safe and comfortable. In addition to my hands-on animal experience, I have a background in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and knowledge of behavioral principles that I apply when working with dogs, including positive reinforcement, consistency, recognizing behavioral cues, and encouraging appropriate behaviors. I’m comfortable with different personalities and energy levels, as well as puppies and dogs who may need additional patience, structure, or reassurance. I understand how important it is to completely trust the person caring for your pet. Whether your pet loves walks and playtime or prefers cuddles and a quiet companion, I’ll provide care based on their individual personality and routine—not a one-size-fits-all approach. I’m also happy to reinforce training routines you already use at home and carefully follow instructions for feeding, medications, exercise, and daily care. Most importantly, I want your pet to feel safe, loved, and at home while you’re away, and I’ll keep you connected with regular updates and photos for extra peace of mind. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I understand that every pet has their own routine, so I do my best to accommodate their normal feeding, walking, potty, playtime, and bedtime schedules. I’m available for both weekday and weekend care and will communicate clearly with you regarding scheduling and your pet’s needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my priority. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, triggers, feeding schedule, medications, and any special instructions before their stay. I provide a clean, comfortable and supervised environment with plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and downtime. I never assume two pets have the same needs and will always follow the care instructions you provide. I also believe communication builds trust, so you can expect regular updates and photos while your pet is in my care.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the patience and genuine care I have for every animal I meet. I’m gentle with pets of all ages, personalities, and abilities, and I’m never afraid to get down on the floor and take the time to earn their trust, especially with shy, nervous, senior, or special-needs pets. I’ve rescued and cared for animals in some pretty challenging situations, including dogs on the streets experiencing severe heat stroke and emergencies during Southeast Missouri’s extreme weather. I’ve also fostered kittens who were sick and needed extra care, patience, and nurturing before they were healthy enough to be adopted. I’ve always had a dog since the day I was born. I started raising my own dogs since I was about 9 years old, and I’ve been involved in house training, crate training, maintaining daily routines, and administering medications according to their prescribed instructions and labels. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions and making sure pets stay on their normal schedules while their owners are away. I’m also a clean freak, and I believe taking care of your home is part of taking care of your pets. I’ve personally experienced coming home to dirty litter boxes, pet vomit, stains, and messes that weren’t cleaned up after previous sitters. That’s something I never want a pet owner to experience. If your pet makes a mess, I clean it up. I’ll keep litter boxes maintained, clean up accidents, vomit, tracked-in dirt, and other everyday pet messes, and leave your home the way I found it, or better. To me, pet sitting isn’t just about making sure a pet is fed and let outside. It’s about making them feel safe, comfortable, loved, and understood while their person is away. I treat every pet as an individual and take the time to learn their routines, quirks, and what makes them feel most at home. Animals deserve the world in the short time we get with them, and I want to make sure I give them that. I recently relocated back home to Temecula from my college town in Missouri and currently have a very flexible schedule while I look for a part-time job. I’m a stay-at-home fiancé and pet mom to two dogs and two cats, so I’m already home caring for pets every day! My pets are all spayed/neutered, up to date on their vaccines, and social. I’m currently available throughout the day, with my only regular commitment being about two hours at the gym. This gives me plenty of flexibility to care for your pets and work around their routines. My dogs wake me up at 6am on the dot to go potty and eat breakfast, and at 5pm they are ready for dinner. I value my pets’ routines because without them, I wouldn’t have a routine myself I have a fully fenced backyard where my inside dogs are able to safely go outside throughout the day. I pay close attention to their behavior and cues-if they’re telling me they need to go out, I let them lead me to the backyard rather than making them wait. I have a 35-lb female Terrier/Lab mix and an 80-lb female Silver Lab. Both spayed and up-to-date on their shots. My Silver Lab is a gentle giant who was especially popular with the “littles” at doggy daycare, often spending time with the 10–25 lb dogs. She was also raised around my grandma’s Yorkies, so she’s very comfortable around smaller dogs. Your pet will always be treated like the VIP! I’ll make sure your pet gets priority during playtime and attention, even if that means taking the ball away from my own dog so your pup gets a turn!🎾
