Cat Sitting Stephens

“Josie was wonderful and patient with my shy, senior cats. I appreciated her adaptability and willingness to handle some of my weirder requests without hesitation, like caring for my fish and refilling the salad bowl which is the only thing my cat will drink out of. Highly recommended!”

“Nora was fantastic with Maya! My girl is a bit skittish with new people but she warmed right up to Nora. She was super communicative with any delays because of weather which was great for me to feel assured.”

Ashley F.

“Thorough, good at communicating, and very flexible. Gave necessary medications as needed, texted me every day to let me know how my cat was doing, and worked around my needs. It was such a relief to have her there while I was gone!”

Alexandria D.

“I am so thankful for Ellie! My cat is very shy and can be stressed with change, but she got along with Ellie so well and loved her visits! It makes me feel better about going out of town knowing she’s in good hands.”

“Adrienne was an excellent sitter. Reliable and Calm around my cats especially the tabby who is nervous and shy. I would prefer to have Adrienne as our pet carer any time we need a sitter again. I definitely recommend her”

About: I have had dogs almost my whole life since I was 1 years old. They are all my favorites! I have taken care of puppies through elderly. I have had dogs with seizures and one who only walked in left circles after a stroke. I have had dogs who lost their ability to control their bladder and dogs who needed help getting off the bed. I love them all and my life is better because they were in it! I work till 3:30-4 pm Monday through Friday in education. I am free many weekends a month. I am happy to do a drop in or two in the evenings and more with longer stays on weekends. I am not always available for last moment notice on weekends but will do my best to be available with a couple days notice. In your home I will follow what ever procedure you instruct. It is your home and your animal. Trust and consent is the most important part of the relationship. I am good at meeting expectations and will always strive to exceed them for your animal. You are the best they could hope for, I want you to feel confident they are just as cared for when they are with me.

“Hanna was great! She took such good care of Aspen and even watched her favorite show (cat TV) with her!”

About: Hi, I’m Maggie, a lifelong animal lover with a soft spot for every tail wag and purr. I have experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, personalities, and energy levels. Whether your pet needs long walks, playtime, or just a cozy cuddle buddy, I’ll treat them like family. I’m reliable, communicative, and always focused on your pet’s safety and happiness. Can’t wait to meet your furry friend! I’m currently transitioning out of the military and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give your pet my full attention. Since I’m not working a traditional 9–5 right now, I can easily accommodate walks and drop-ins including last-minute bookings. Whether your pet stays in your home or mine, I provide a safe, clean, and loving environment. I follow your care instructions closely—meals, walks, meds, or snuggles—and do my best to keep their routine consistent so they feel comfortable and secure. I’ll keep you updated with regular photos and messages, so you always know how your pet is doing.

About: I’ve been caring for pets since 2019, when I started helping my mom with her dog-sitting business. Since then, I’ve gained experience caring for dogs for friends, family, and acquaintances, including overnight stays. I’ve cared for dogs with all kinds of personalities and energy levels, and I love getting to know each pet’s unique quirks and routine. I’m happy to help with walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, and keeping them company while you’re away. I also have three pets of my own, so I understand how much our furry family members mean to us and how important it is to have someone you can trust. Whether your pup is an energetic ball of zoomies, a professional napper, or a little bit of both, I’m always excited to meet a new four-legged friend! I love a good cuddle buddy just as much as an excited fur baby ready to play, and I’ll make sure every dog in my care feels safe, happy, and loved. 🐾💕 Hi! My name is Aurora, and I’m a reliable, caring, and responsible pet sitter who genuinely enjoys spending time with animals. I have several years of experience caring for pets, including experience helping my mom as a Rover pet sitter as well as caring for dogs for family, friends, and other clients. I currently work part-time from Sunday through Wednesday, with shifts that typically fall between 2 PM–10 PM or 4 PM–10 PM. Because of this, I have the most availability Thursday through Saturday, as well as mornings and earlier parts of the day on my workdays. I’m happy to communicate about my schedule ahead of time to make sure I can provide your pet with the time and attention they deserve. Every pet is different, so I believe the best care starts with getting to know their personality and routine. For dogs, a typical visit may look like a potty break, a walk, playing with their favorite toys, spending time outside, feeding, fresh water, and plenty of attention. Depending on their energy level, we might spend our time going for a longer walk and playing, or we may simply relax together and keep eachother company. For cats, I understand that their needs can look a little different. A typical cat visit may include feeding, refreshing their water, cleaning their litter box, playing with toys, and giving them attention and affection if they enjoy it. Some cats are social and love having someone play with them or give them lots of attention, while others are more independent or shy and prefer to have someone quietly check on them and give them space. I’m comfortable respecting those differences and letting each cat set the pace. I would also be more happy to take care of other small tasks that help keep your pets comfortable while you're away, such as bringing in packages, taking your trash to the curb, or watering plants. If your pet needs medication or has a specific care routine, I’m happy to discuss their needs beforehand.

About: I have been fortunate to care for animals all ranges of life. My goal is to make sure your pet is taken care of with respect and love they deserve. I am currently a graduate student. I am available to meet with your pet on Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday. I am flexible with the timing to meet your needs! I have reliable transportation to meet your pet. I will follow your routine to ensure your pet stays on schedule. My home is pet friendly (one goldendoodle and one medium hair cat) with a fenced in back yard. My animals enjoy playing with others!

About: I took a very active role in caring for my family dog until he tragically passed from cancer in 2019. I have also dog-sat for neighbors’ pets with particular dietary needs. Currently, I’ve been told by roommates that I have a very calming presence with our house dog. I work part time primarily in the evenings and when not working, I often have community theater rehearsals on weeknights. During the Mizzou school year I will have some classes during the day, though for no more than a few hours at a time. My current house is not available for pet boarding unless specifically negotiated. The property has a non-fenced yard and one resident dog, who does behave well with other animals. Neighborhood is safe, well-paved, and walkable.

“Thanks so much Kennedy. We appreciate you! I think we have next weekend covered, but we will probably ask again for Nov 7, 21 and 28 if you’re available any of those dates.”

About: Hello! My name is Gina and I am a graduate student at Mizzou! I grew up with hunting Labs and have been around dogs my whole life. I’ve also been dog sitting for several years and enjoy spending time with dogs of all ages and personalities. Whether your pet wants to play, go for a walk, or just relax, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable and well cared for while you’re away. I have a light summer class schedule with class not starting until after 12pm and would love to help support you with your pet care in the mornings and evenings Unfortunately I live with roommates and have a landlord that does not allow pets and unable to provide care for your pets in my home

About: I have worked in professional pet care for 4 years and have been watching neighbors dogs for the past 2 years. At doggy daycare I have worked with all sizes and ages of dogs and am comfortable with all of them. I am currently and student at The University of Missouri but am still able to come to your house to watch your pet. I can stay at your house during the week or weekend, my classes schedule is pretty full so it might be harder for me to be at your house during the week day but my weekends are typically open and we might be able to work out a schedule for the weekdays! I have three dogs at home that I am very used to taking care of as well as my cat. I can follow your pets schedule so there is no difference in your care and mine.

“Mrs. Mary was so so wonderful and accommodating! I was just a nervous wreck when I left my Tilly home, that the beginning of my vacation wasn’t even enjoyable. However, after her updates I began to feel so much better knowing I had someone there who was really taking her. I would rebook Mary again in a heartbeat.”

About: I have extensive experience taking care of animals of all sizes! I've been working in vet med since I was in high school shadowing veterinarians and assisting technicians and have gained hands-on experience with both cats and dogs. I'm comfortable with everything from energetic puppies and kittens to your senior pets who may need a little more time and attention. While I no longer own my own pets, I understand how important it is to have reliable experienced pet care! I'm currently a full-time student at MIZZOU and wanted to start dog walking to fill my time! I miss my dogs back home so I will treat yours as if they're my own! I prioritize each pet's safety, comfort, and routine. In a client's home I follow all feeding, medication, exercise and care instructions while keeping the home secure and clean. I also monitor pets for any changes in behavior or overall well-being and provide regular photos and updates. I take time to learn each pet's boundaries, needs, and personality so they feel safe and comfortable while their owner is away.

“Martina did an excellent job keeping our cat, Mimi! She was a great communicator and sent us pictures each visit. Mimi obviously loved her visits. I will definitely call on her again, for our next vacation!”
