“I highly recommend Wendy as a dog sitter in Columbia, Mo. She has taken great care of my Hailey during her needy puppy stage. I couldn’t ask for better service. Don’t hesitate to hire her!”
“Donna is great. She is so chill so all the pups are always just adorable toddlers playing in the yard, or napping on cots. Our giant baby has serious attachment disorder. Rescue dogs, eh? Anyway. Rough drop off our first time. This time, he started to get excited half a block away!!! It is so stress relieving to be able to drop off Boo, and go to appointments ts knowing he’s having fun with his friends. We will be back and back and back.”
“My dog has been getting daycare services with Ximena for about 3 weeks now and I couldn't be happier. Ximena is literally the most lovely and kind person I have ever met. She treats my dog as if she's one of her own. Ximena and her family are truly lovely people who genuinely love dogs. They always go above and beyond during my dogs visits, take tons of photos and give consistent updates. They cater to my dog and take such good care of her. I'm so happy that I found Ximena and I have no plans of ever taking her anywhere else.”
“Christine is the best dog sitter you could ever want for your pup. She is so kind and doesn’t mind if I drop Izzy off early. I feel my dog always has a great time and is safe with Christine.”
“Great experience! Shannon and her husband are great and are obviously pet lovers! We have a nervous doggie and Shannon sent pics and updates. Will totally request them again!”
“Nicole is so kind, providing great feedback and a great environment for Archie. He loved playing with Cora as well. She was very responsive, and it's clear she loves animals. Great caregiver.”
“Margaret was absolutely amazing! I had to step out for a doctor’s appointment and left my puppy Charu who’s just a 2 months old pup in her care and I couldn’t have felt more at ease. She followed my care instructions to the dot, including regular potty breaks, feeding, and playtime in her yard. Charu came back so happy and relaxed, it was clear she was in great hands♥️. What I appreciated most were the timely updates Margaret sent throughout the visit. She kept me posted on how Charu was doing, including food and potty updates, which gave me so much peace of mind. You can truly tell she cares deeply and treats every pup like her own. I had such a wonderful experience and would absolutely recommend her to anyone. Thank you, Margaret you were amazing! 🌸”
About: I have experience with large and giant breeds including Belgian Malinois, Husky, Labrador and Great Pyrenees. As I'm familiar with the needs of a big, high-energy dog (ones who are stubborn and get destructive if under-stimulated), I'm able to handle situations like pulling on the leash and giving them a structured environment. I have my own pup, a Great Pyrenees, and you can rest assured I will be treating your dog just as well, if not better, than my own. I am currently a homemaker, and will have all the time to devote to your pet. I will be available most hours of any day! I have an unfenced backyard (with stakes and a 30ft tether) that is by thick brush, perfect if your pet loves sniffing about. My neutered dog is friendly and will give your pet a warm welcome to our home. He has a very low prey drive and loves cats! He is very sweet and likes to lie on the floor, but is always down for a good time if initiated by the other pet.
“Kaila was a lifesaver! She watched my pup Argos while I was at a retirement party and I was so relieved to know he wasn't stuck in a hotel room. She was very communicative and friendly and I felt very comfortable leaving Argos in her care.”
About: My family has had cats ever since I was 12, I also rescued a goldendoodle 8 years ago and he has been my best friend ever since. I love all types of animals, and have experience with rabbits, horses, guinea pigs, and hamsters as well. I have been pet sitting and dog walking as a vet student for over a year now. I am a veterinary student in my clinical rotation years. I live in a duplex, meaning I have my own house with no roommates. It is a 2 bedroom, 1 bath. I can pet sit from your house if you have multiple pets and are gone for days or pet sit from my own place if you have just a cat or a smaller dog. I live in a duplex at the moment by myself without any pets, but I pet sit for friends a lot, driving over to their places to let the dogs out/walk them, feed the cats/dogs/fish and clean the litter boxes, make sure the water bowls are filled, etc.
“Cal was great! I was nervous about taking Jäger to doggy daycare because he can get overexcited but Cal was amazing with him. This is the first time my dog has been tired in awhile so it was lovely to know he was in good hands.”
About: I have a senior pet myself. She is a 15 year old shitzu that I trained (If you know about shitzus they can be very sassy/stubborn lol). I have also raised two of my cats from 6 weeks old. Both my dog and cats are very friendly and tolerable. My boyfriend is home most of the day. I am a waitress so I don’t go into work until 4 or later usually I get out at 9-10 but usually earlier. Besides that I am always home. I care for pets that I am watching just like I would my own! My apartment building has a big yard and i have many good pet friendly parks very close by. I have multiple dog toys, treats, and dog bed (but my dog is small) I also have multiple cat towers, scratchers, toys, and treats. My pets are feed 3x a day morning, noon, and night. My dog is walked at least 2x a day not including potty breaks.
“Alexis is always flexible and has helped me out last minute multiple times. She is very nice and has a calm demeanor. Her dog Scout is very friendly and energetic and gets my dog to play, which, as a single doggo child, is really needed!”
About: We have four pups of our own and often foster 2-3 puppies at a time. We are a dog loving family. We would love to host your pup! Long time pet parents! I am a stay at home Mom. We have plenty of time to offer play, snuggles, and walks while hosting your pup and keeping them company. We have four permanent residents that are spoiled rotten. Harlo is very chill and laid back, while Martin loves to play with our frequent visitors.
