“Alissa was perfect! We felt bad because our Internet went out for a few hours but she was understanding. She left our house cleaner than when we left. And most importantly, she took such great care of our dog! She made sure he was fed, walked, and loved on. We’ll absolutely have her back!!”

“Mowgli had a wonderful time. We were nervous leaving Mowgli since this was his first time being away. But everything turned out good, Robert took good care of him. Highly recommend him.”


“Kendra was amazing. She took care of all my animals and they absolutely loved her. I have a German shepherd with severe separation anxiety. I felt very assured that she was there with him. I will definitely use her again.”

“Abigail was great! She took great care of my boy giving him love and taking him on walks! Always made sure to update at every check in and send photos ❤️ will book with her again for future needs ❤️”

About: What sets me apart is my hands-on experience and genuine love for all pets. I’m a devoted dog mom and have experience caring for both puppies and senior dogs, which means I understand the different needs at every stage of life. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, administering medications, gentle exercise, and even basic training for pups. I also bring patience, attentiveness, and a nurturing approach to every pet I care for. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. I currently work at a local daycare in Rolla Missouri and would like too also care for animals in my spare time I love pets In my home, pets have a safe, comfortable space to relax, play, and explore, including a fully fenced yard for exercise. I provide daily walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of attention, making sure each pet feels loved and secure. For pets in their own homes, I follow the owner’s routine closely—feeding on schedule, administering any medications, and giving plenty of companionship and care. I always prioritize keeping pets happy, healthy, and stress-free, whether they’re with me or in the comfort of their own home.
“Ashley was so amazing, she took care of our three fur baby’s and did amazing. Our dogs are normally extremely shy around strangers but they warmed up fast to her caring personality!! She went above and beyond making sure we were updated, and they were well cared for. She even did some house cleaning!! Will definitely be using her in the future.”


About: I’ve had pets since I was born! I specialize high energy dogs and in pets with anxiety and fear of storms! I am also trained in administration of meds to cats and dogs! I love all animals and love to play with them! I’m currently working part time at a coffee shop! I usually get off at a decent hour and I can always use my break to check on fur babies! I will care for pets by making sure they are content and happy! I will ensure that they have fresh water and food! I will also make sure they have a clean environment to be restful while their loved ones are away!
“Savannah was great! She stayed in touch before, during and after her stay. Cody was calm as could be when we got home so we know he was completely unstressed in our absence. Will definitely use Savannah again!!”
About: I used to watch dogs every summer to make extra money to do things. Growing up we always had two dogs in the house and then when I got married, we instantly got three dogs and we’ve had them ever since our two big dogs enjoy being outside they don’t really like being in our home due to it being very small and they have more room outside to play and do things we have one small dog that enjoys being inside and sleeping most of the day. My husband and I both are small business owners I own a cleaning company and he owns a pressure washing business. I also do Instacart part time to make extra money to help pay off debt. I am doing this as well to help pay off more debt because Cleaning has kind of slow down and I’m needing to make money elsewhere. My schedule is very open though due to being a small business owner and doing Instacart part-time my schedule is very open and I am very flexible. My home has a fenced in backyard with two dogs. They enjoy being outside and will be outside for the majority of the time they like to come inside at night when it is dark. We have one small dog inside and she loves to play with other small dogs. I take her outside to use the restroom in the front yard. We do have a fenced in yard for a dog if needed or I can take them out front.
About: I love cats and dogs. I have had some training from college classes for veterinary assistance I have also volunteered at the cuba animal shelter. My availability is pretty open. I am a mom of three so there are days I wont be available. I will NOT be available on Tuesdays or Thursdays. I will be available on mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays , also sometimes on the weekends. I will make sure your pets are well taken care of, play time, outdoors time, feed, bathed if needed. I always make sure have their basic necessities such as food and water. Play time is just a bonus for me and your animal. I love playing fetch with dogs and running around with them. Cats usually do their own thing, but when they want some love or to play I'm always up for it.

About: I've grown up around animals my whole life. I grew up with St. Bernards and very clingy cats. Now that I have my own place I have 3 orange cats and one little senior dog who I love with all my heart! I hope I'm able to show your pets the same love and care I show my own. I currently work 3 days a week at my full time job so that gives me plenty of time to take care of your pets! I'm open to taking care of your pets at odd hours. I can do any management your pet may need including medicine handling, teeth cleaning, bathing, etc. I do this things regularly to accommodate my own senior pets. I also have a sweet little dog that would love to play with yours! She is very patient with shy pets and is very respectful.
About: I’ve had my own pets from a young age, getting my own shortly after college. Looking to give Salem MO some options for drop in visits. I will typically be available after work to visit, feed, and play with your beloved pets. I will get off work around 4 pm daily. I will gladly meet your pet need requirements. I have experience with giving meds and special diets and of course giving all the loving attention.
“Madison was an exceptional Caretaker for my elderly cat while I was on vacation. In addition to his basic care and needs, she gave him medication twice daily. She took the time to send daily updates and pictures, that assured me he was in great hands!! I could also see that he greatly enjoyed her company too! She went above and beyond, allowing me to relax and enjoy my vacation knowing he was getting the best care and companionship. I will absolutely book again with Madison and I highly recommend her!!!”

About: I have 9 plus years of experience working with animals including dogs I've owned over the years! I have had a basset hound, lab, and pitbull, and I have loved them all! I am currently a guinea pig owner, I have 2 and I love them so much. I am a student at Missouri S&T studying biological sciences so I love anything related to animals. I know my skills and high level of detail will be sufficient enough to care for your pets! I am working part-time and also in school so I will be able to accommodate your busy schedule! I will always have some free time to take care of your pet. Although I cannot watch your pet at my house I would be able to come visit yours to feed, walk, and watch your pet for you! I can also give medication or fulfill any special requests you have.
