“Theresa is an outstanding dog sitter. The dogs love her so much, and she is wonderful interacting with them. She even tidied up the main floor of our house, which is above and beyond. She will definitely be my future number one choice.”


“Hired Kelly to see how petting would work for a trip in the future. Kelly was super friendly. Came for a quick house tour during the week and watched our pets on that Friday. She got here right when we asked. Feed and hung out with the dogs. Sent photos. Will hire again”


“Brandi was an absolute delight to work with. You will be instantly at ease with her caring for your pets. She is thorough, kind, and it was amazing to come home from a trip to happy and relaxed animals. Brandi communicates so well by sending pictures and updates. Will be using her services again and again! Thank you Brandi?”


“Emily is truly amazing! She took exceptional care of our two dogs while we were on vacation. From the start, our dogs felt comfortable and didn't have any issues with us being away. They received lots of playtime, cuddles, and comfort. Our senior dog received his medication, and our younger dog who loves playing fetch had a friendly companion. Daily updates with pictures was a plus. We felt completely comfortable having Emily stay in our home and returned to happy dogs. She even left them a Christmas toy and treats which was very sweet!”


“Amber took great care of my senior cat. He takes medicine 3 times a day and she was ON it. I came home to a calm, happy kitty. She communicated, sent pictures, and was just a great care provider!”


“Riley was a blessing to our house. Theo and Daisy love her. It was wonderful to see my fur babies go to her and be so relaxed. Taking such good care of them, while staying in their environment to help them feel more at ease. They had just gone through a move and being home was important to their wellbeing. Thank you so much for alleviating so much stress from me plate. We look forward to our next vacation, knowing you are their special person.”


About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, high-energy pups, leash pullers, shy seniors, and everything in between. I worked at a boarding facility where I was trained to administer medication to cats and dogs, and watch for signs of serious illness such as bloat. I also house and pet sit regularly for family friends as well as take care of my Sheepadoodle and two cats at home. 🖤🤍 Your pet will be in loving and capable hands with me! 💞🐾 (P.S. I love animal photography! so expect lots of pictures of your pet 😉) I currently work part time with just four hour shifts so your fur baby would not have to be alone for long! I'll be plenty available to spend time with your pet and keep them safe and happy! I provide attentive, loving care tailored to each pet’s needs including feeding, walking, playtime, medications, and plenty of belly rubs included! I keep routines consistent to reduce stress and always prioritize safety, cleanliness, and comfort. I also monitor for any signs of illness or distress and communicate updates so you always know your pet is in good hands. I have plenty of experience with all types of dogs and know what's best for your pet to keep them safe and happy!

“Caeden took excellent care of our dog and house while we were away. Communication and response time was all good and we were comfortable having him in our home. This was our first time using Caeden but we will definitely be booking him again.”


“Janel took excellent care of our dog while we were out of town. She kept us informed, took him on walks and spent lots of extra time with him. Janel is very responsible and we were super comfortable having her in our home. I highly recommend!”


About: Hi, thank you so much for stopping by to read through my profile. I’m stoked to start this journey. I have loved and taken care of friend’s and family’s dogs for years. Big, small, medium, even tempered, wild, mellow, I absolutely love them all. I have a 11 year old black lab, who’s slowed down a lot. She is my everything. She just can’t move like she used to and I find something about raising a dog from a young pup to an aging one, so very special and rewarding. If your dog is fast paced or likes to smell every blade of grass, I’m game. Rain, shine, or snow, I’m available. I’d absolutely appreciate it if you gave me the opportunity to spoil your dog, not just walk. I understand these are your babies. My house is also open with a fenced in back yard and lots of attention and love offered. Let me know what questions or concerns you might have! I work Monday-Friday, I am free in the evenings and off on Thursdays typically. I’m free on most holidays like Thanksgiving(so keep that in mind).** I am free on most weekends. ** Also please note, I’m willing to travel to MO from IL side. My house is open and I have a great fenced in area. Your dog will be spoiled rotten over here. Lots of pets and attention. I also know how important a walk is to a dog, it’s the highlight of their day! We’d make the most of it.

“Tanner was calm, thoughtful, and resourceful. He was just perfect for our anxious dog.”


About: I've been taking care of dogs my entire life. My father bred labradors, and I've been sitting for my grandparents for the last 15 or so years. I recently started sitting for a friend and have decided to make it a steady source of income I'm an artist that wants to use dog sitting and walking to have a steady flexible income that allows me to be creative in my personal life. Our pitbull Stella gets the best that we can provide her. As a genuine dog lover, I will provide the best care that is in my ability to provide in your home.

“Taylor was very loving towards my girls and communicated very well while she stayed with my girls! 3 dogs can be overwhelming but she embraced it and I came home to happy girls after my trip!”


“Lark stayed for a week at our home and was so caring of our furry baby Kevin. Kevin's not always predictable and they made good friends with loving belly rubs, etc. She shared pictured throughout the week. We will definitely be calling her back to see if she can stay again when we plan our next trip! Thank you so very much!”


About: I’ve been caring for both pets and children for many years, and it’s truly something I love. Before starting radiology school, I worked as a full-time nanny and had the privilege of babysitting for many families over the years. Along the way, I also provided pet-sitting services for those same families and more—so I understand the trust it takes to care for those who matter most. I bring a calm, attentive, and nurturing approach to every pet I care for, and I treat them like part of the family. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or simply keeping them company, I’m here to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away! I am currently in radiology school and attend classes 4 days a week. I have my schedule listed below so you know ahead of time. Monday: 8:00-2:55 Tuesday: 8 hour clinical shift at Missouri Baptist Hospital Wednesday: 8:00-2:55 Thursday: 8 hour clinical shift at Missouri Baptist Hospital Sundays I do attend church from 10:00-12:00 Please let me know if your pet has any time sensitive needs, I’d love to work with you on that! I’m a fantastic communicator, just let me know what’s best for you and your pet! I have experience working with a wide variety of animals—including dogs, cats, horses, sheep, goats, birds, reptiles, and chickens—and I bring that same care and attentiveness to every pet I meet. I understand that each animal is unique, and some may need a little extra attention, patience, or specialized care depending on their needs and circumstances. When caring for pets in your home, I make it a priority to keep their routine consistent, their environment calm, and their well-being front and center. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and getting to know their personalities—it’s one of the best parts of what I do!

“Look no further for the perfect pet sitter. Kiera is absolutely wonderful! She treated my babies like her own and got our extremely skiddish previously feral cat to snuggle on her lap which is unheard for a stranger. She went above and beyond to provide care, with frequent pics and updates if you request that. We couldn’t be happier!”


“Lette did an amazing job with house sitting and watching our Emma girl. During her stay she kept us updated and even sent some precious pictures of our Emma. She was in constant communication with us. We highly recommend and will definitely book her again in the future!”


About: I am such an animal lover. I’ve grown up on a farm and I’ve been taking care of all animals since I could walk! I’m a healthcare worker just looking to fill up my extra time. I currently work 3 days a week. Mondays through Wednesdays. I’m looking to fill up my extra days off. Thursdays-Sundays! I don’t travel much so I’m always around. I have a rescue Aussie named Duke and he is in our unfenced yard with an underground shock collar. I’m in an area where walking trails are available! We love to play with our million toys and pond swimming. A good walk with all the sniffing needs to be done.

“Loralei did a great job. Definitely will have her for any short return trips.”


About: Hi there! Thanks for reading my page. I've cared for dogs, cats, birds, guinea pigs, bunnies, chinchillas, hamsters, rats, snakes, and even horses! I have several years of experience with pet walking, quick visits and house-sitting for clients, coworkers, family and friends. Maximum time I've lived-in was 2 weeks, and most animals cared for at once was 7! (2 birds, 2 dogs and 3 cats.) I will pet-sit any age, any size, any breed. If you need your pet taken to the vet, groomer, or a friend, I have reliable transportation to do so. I'll even pick up supplies and food if you provide the payment for it, and if requested, I can sweep, dust, vaccum, and overall tidy up! I'd prefer working in a cleaner home, though this is not required. Happy pet, happy vet, right? :) (Note: I used to go by Cat, which is what people called me in the reviews, but I've changed it to Oliver!) I can't host any pets, but I love to visit your fur babies! Any needs they have, I'm happy to provide. I'm definitely a tidy person, and guarantee to leave your house as neat as possible. :) I’m a self-employed artist, and I work from home, so my schedule is fairly flexible. If you need me on short-notice, feel free to ask! I can usually make things work. As someone that tries to be as organized and as safe as possible, I can confidently say that I’ll leave your house just as tidy as it was when I arrived.
