Cat Sitting in Speed

“Elle has an obvious knack with animals. Our older cat is usually reserved with strangers but instantly loved her. All of our animals do. Elle has been so easy to communicate with. We will absolutely book again in the future.”

“Mark met my kitties a week before our trip (which was great for everyone) and Tink and Ragnar liked him from the moment they met. Mark sent me photos every day and kept me updated about their activities. I felt confident having him house and cat sit. He even cleaned before he left! I will definitely hire Mark again. He's wonderful!”

“Lucas was such a wonderful find for our sweet pair of cats! My husband and I are helicopter parents about our babies who have very specific and different needs including our boy cat who needs to be medicated and is a very picky eater. Lucas sent us very frequent updates on the state of our cat's appetite and how things were going. In the past, we have come home to find our cat has either lost weight or has liquid medication smeared on his fur from medication difficulties. When we came home our boy cat looked the best he's ever looked after such a long stay with a house sitter. We can tell our cats felt very at home and comfortable with Lucas. The house looks great, very clean and exactly how we left it. All and all, among the best rover experiences we've had! Great communication, healthy happy pets, a clean home, what more could we ask for?”

“Excellent service. Worked with me when I sent a booking request for an hour later. Had no issues booking and she responded quickly and didn’t hassle me for the last minute booking. My pets were happy, healthy, and well cared for! Even the photos she took looked so professional, I love them.”

I would love to figure out times between these frames, as I am typically flexible if given enough time to prepare.

About: During my time pet sitting, I have cared for a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, and small pets. My responsibilities have included feeding, providing fresh water, administering medications when needed, and ensuring they receive plenty of attention and exercise. One memorable experience was caring for a senior Border Collie who required daily medication and gentle walks. I followed the owner’s instructions carefully, ensuring the dog was comfortable and sticking to their routine. I also kept the owner updated with daily photos and messages. Additionally, I have experience handling energetic pets that require extra playtime and patience. Whether it’s taking dogs on long walks, engaging in interactive play with cats, or simply providing companionship, I ensure that pets feel safe and happy while their owners are away. I’m currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time and flexibility. I try to work around my clients schedule to the best of my ability! When it comes to pet sitting, safety, trust, and a comfortable environment are my top priorities. I ensure that every pet is cared for in a secure and familiar setting, following their routine to minimize stress. Trust is key—I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing attentive care, regular updates, and open communication with owners. I also create a positive environment by giving pets plenty of affection, exercise, and mental stimulation, ensuring they feel happy and at ease while their owners are away. With me, your pet is in safe, loving hands.

About: Ever since I was a kid, I’ve always had a pet dog. I’ve always had love and respect for animals, domesticated and wild. I’m comfortable with dogs and cats of all breeds and all sizes. I’m currently working part time on Friday and Saturday afternoon-evenings and Sunday and Monday night shifts. That gives me plenty of time on my free days to play with and care for your pet!

About: I am a registered veterinary technician that is very passionate taking care of animals. I have 20 yrs of experience working in emergency and critical care, caring for dogs and cats that are very sick and need to be cared for. I am very comfortable caring for healthy dogs/cats or pets that need medications or special care. I work full time, but want to work around my schedule to make Rover work! I would not be able to bring your pet to my house due to I have a German shepherd that takes a while to warm up to. I can walk pets, do check ins, but will not be able to stay the night due to having a family. I am able to walk your pet wherever you prefer, let your dog outside and feed your pet, spend playtime with your pet. I am able and willing to medicate your pet as well or anything the pet requires, even if has special care requests.

About: I grew up on a farm where our pets were always family members and treated with love and respect. I have two rescue dogs myself. I am happy to keep my dogs separated from clients. I am fortunate that my parents have a farm and welcome their grand pups in case of overlaps in sittings. My girls do great with most other pets, however I understand every animal has their own personality and comfort zone. I respect and do things on the owner and the pet’s terms. I strive to provide an experience where you feel you are leaving your loved ones with people who care as much as you. I worked the corporate world since college and decided I would take a break and enjoy a summer with my own fur babies. I have always been the go-to dog sitter for close friends and family. I quickly received more requests by word of mouth with my flexible schedule this summer. I am currently working on starting my own company for pet products making my schedule open and flexible! I live in Boonville, MO. I attend regularly conservation areas, dog parks, and my parents wooded farm outside of Glasgow, MO. My home is an apartment. I have an outdoor deck with stairs that access a private fenced in area that is pet safe. My home is equipped with a dog door for my own pups to use at their leisure along with security cameras. Plus I am only a block from Katy Trail access!

About: I’m already excited to meet you and your pets! I’ve been a massage therapist for over 17yrs, so I give premium pets. Along with that is high standards for care which will includes keeping up to date with CPR/First Aide training. I currently have a grandpa puggle (15yrs old) and young kitty myself. Just like in a massage, snoring, drooling, or farting are all compliments of good care and I look forward to the same with fur clients. I recently moved back to Mid-MO and looking for extra jobs to supplement my massage therapy career. I especially like being busy in the mornings. I have a fenced in yard with one dog and three cats. I love following directions for pet care. Give me all the lists and details! Our own pets have various schedules and diets.
