Cat Sitting in Union

“Kitties loved her, Great service.”

“Andrea is so wonderful! Our cat loves attention and Andrea makes sure he gets cuddles and play time at every visit. We left for a 3-day weekend recently and when we came home, he didn’t pout like he usually does. Highly highly recommend!”

About: I understand how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member in someone else’s care, and how important it is to find someone who gets how much your pet means to you. That’s why when caring for others’ pets, I treat them how I’d want someone to care for my own — with lots of love, attention, and playfulness…or calm comfort (whichever suits them best!). I’m happy to follow any special instructions or routines, and always keep you updated with cute pics and notes, if desired. Whether your dog’s super social or a couch cuddler, I’ll make sure they feel loved, happy, and cared for! With being in charge of my own schedule, I have the opportunity to be flexible and accommodate many time-based needs. As a private practice clinician, my work hours are typically shorter and of a different time frame than the average 9-5. I have spare time on my hands during week days (and weekends) when most need care! My area of availability is broad as well as I’m local to the Franklin County area, but work in Chesterfield. While I don’t offer in home care out of love and respect for my own dog-children, I can accommodate your environment — whether that be one inside, outside with no fence, outside with a fence, etc.

About: I've taken care of many dogs ever since I was a young girl. All my family, friends and Neighbors would always ask me to take their dogs for a walk and to feed them and even give them baths. I can also give medication if needed and tend to any care your fur baby needs. I currently work a full-time job from 6:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. don't worry though, I will have more than enough time to attend to your fur babies. I will still have time to take them for walks or do check-ins if they need to be fed or taken out to go to the bathroom. I can also do boarding in my home or in your home on the weekends. Friday through Sunday. I have a almost 6 year old female boxer that gets along with all dogs and all sizes and loves to play. She is allowed on all the furniture and so will your fur babies. They will be just as loved as mine. More then enough toys to play with. I don't have a fenced in yard because my girl listens very well. Don't worry, I will keep your babies safe by keeping them on a leash when outside.

About: I have a lifetime of experience, from growing up on a working farm to rescuing and caring for many pets, of all ages and care needed, of my own. I provide a loving and caring atmosphere for all animals, ensuring you and your pet that they are well cared for. I work full-time, however, I can provide afternoon and evening walks or check-in's through the week with various times throughout the day available on weekends. I enjoy taking dogs for long walks or playing fetch in the yard to keep Sr animals active or to burn off energy on young go-getters. I have 2 Sr cats of my own, so I understand the importance of activity and mental stimulation.

About: I grew up with many dogs, my family owned Osage ridge kennel, so I do have experience in puppy care. Also had 3 cats growing up, each had very different personalities. My friends like to call me the cat whisper. I work full time at a barber shop but am always available from 7-9am 12-1:00pm and 6-10pm. I can always schedule time out of my day to check on them if needed more I have a fenced in yard, so if needed they are more than welcomed to run around my yard. I have done crate training on a few! I live downtown washmo so I have lots of area to walk with them

About: I have worked at an animal hospital for 4+ years, taking care of patients and overnight boarders at our facility. I have experience with every type of dogs ranging across the board; from puppies to seniors; small dogs to big dogs; from friendly to reserved dogs. I’m experienced and comfortable giving any type of medication (pill, injection, etc.) and can give special care to dogs with special needs. There isn’t a mess that I haven’t had to clean, so I’m prepared to create a safe and healthy environment for any pet. I am also able bodied and can keep up with energetic dogs. I have a very flexible schedule and work part time at the moment, so I have plenty of time to devote to your pets. My work hours vary from week to week but no matter the hours, I’ll be able to provide consistent potty breaks and check ins. I genuinely care about the happiness and safety of all animals, and I’m prepared to provide such an environment. There’s not a mess that I can’t handle or that I haven’t cleaned in the past. I am very good at reading body language to know what the animal is thinking, feeling, and what they need in any given moment. I have experience giving animals medications and can follow special rules or intrusions for feeding, walking, or care.

“Holly is amazing! My cats loved her and warmed up to her so quickly! I highly recommend her ❤️”

About: I’ve mostly had cats growing up, but I absolutely love dogs as well. I would be happy to take good care of your fur babies! I do have a job in Washington Missouri, so I would need to build my schedule around that. I work weekdays 7-3 and have weekends off. I actually just moved to St Clair and am in the process of introducing my cat and my boyfriend’s cat. Introducing cats is a very long process, but I am willing to take whatever amount of time that is needed to make sure we don’t rush things! I also think it is super important for owners to be able to trust the sitters because there are so many horror stories you hear about other peoples’ experiences. I am the perfect trustworthy person for the job!

“Katherine did a great job. Very professional and the cats liked her. Excellent communication complete with photos that eased my mind.”

About: Have taken care of dogs and cats and everything they need for about 25 years. I had dogs and birds and fish growing up and my grandma and grandpa had cats. I have been around them my whole life. I love them so much and love to give them lots of attention and love. I'm currently working full time Monday-Friday usually home by 5:30pm. It is fine to drop pets off after I get home until 8pm on those days and I am available most Saturdays and Sundays until 6pm if you let me know a few days before. I have two small children in the home under the age of 5 and two ginuea pigs. I look forward to taking care of your family pet as if it was my own and give it lots of love. I don't have a fenced yard but there is room for the dog to play and run. If you allow I'm willing to take your fur baby to a dog park and on walks with me and my babies at the park. Please don't hesitate to message me with any questions.

About: I’ve had my dog Teddy for three years, and my cat Squash for two. I love animals of all kinds and have been asked by family and friends since a young age to help them take care of animals. I’m gentle with touch but firm with my voice, love to train and spoil them, and adore going on walks. Your pets will be in good hands with me My schedule is really open right now, so I’m available for whatever your pet may need. I understand how important schedules can be, which is why I like being flexible. I’m very good at making sure that all the necessary tasks are met first when I get into the house, then if I’m allowed to, I usually try and spend a little time with that animal to gain their trust.

About: I have helped raise two dogs growing up, one cocker spaniel and one golden retriever. I have also somewhat raised cats. Unfortunately all the cats my family has gotten has been outside cats which always made me disappointed. I have pet sat before for both a cat and a medium dog. I love taking care of animals and becoming buddies with pets. Big dogs do slightly intimidate me so I would like to stick to smaller dogs. I am working part time in Hermann and I will have a good amount of time open now that school is over. I am in the Washington/union area but I can drive pretty much anywhere within 25 miles. I plan on moving to Columbia in the fall but I will be pet sitting all this summer to get some more money with my other job. I know that most pets are feisty but I am patient and caring for animals especially since this world can be cruel to them. I will care for your pets based on all the information you give me and if I have any questions I will ask. I also have many friends with animal experience who can help me out if needed. I won’t mistreat your home and will clean up after myself as well as keep it cleaned (I sometimes get a kick out of cleaning). I can keep your home and pets safe.

“Leigh's care for our senior cat, Diesel, was truly remarkable! She is an absolute gem! During our vacation, she provided 7 days of outstanding care for our 18-year-old senior cat, Diesel. The level of communication was excellent! Leigh kept us updated multiple times a day about Diesel's well-being. Coming home to a spotless house after a long day of travel was the perfect ending to vacation. She went above and beyond in caring for Diesel and our home and exceeded all expectations. We are deeply grateful to have found Leigh; she's far more than a pet sitter to us—she's a remarkable human who provided the best care possible for Diesel.”

About: I’ve owned animals my entire life. I’ve raised puppies, teaching basic skills and potty training. I am a true animal lover, prioritizing the happiness and health of my pets and caring deeply about all animals. You can trust that your pet will be top priority when in my care. I am available M-F after 5pm for 30+ minute walks and playtime. I am available Saturday and Sunday any time. Depending on your preference, I can walk near your house or I can take them on nature hikes, at local trails for a longer and more enriching experience. I am also available for overnight boarding any day of the week (including weekends). This can be either at your house or my own, depending on the situation. I am willing to discuss any requests. When boarding, I will be available to tend to the animal before and immediately after work and at least every 2-4 hours on the weekends. I will prioritize their needs 100% while they are in my care. I have a dog that is very easygoing and can keep your pet company. She prefers to nap but will share toys and would love a partner for walks. I also have the option to have relatives keep my pets while your pet is staying with me, if your pet prefers no other animals in the house. I also have a guest bedroom that (if necessary) allows me to separate the animals while I am away for safety reasons. I prioritize safety and will constantly monitor the animals, while allowing them freedom to roam and enjoy a comfortable environment. I am also available to stop by your house on a schedule to care for your pet if that is preferred. I am willing to discuss my staying at your residence as well. I am flexible and willing to work out the perfect situation for your specific needs.

About: I live in a home with three very affectionate dogs. I’ve experience with clingy, needy dogs from this. I also do well slowly gaining animal trust and reading body language. I’ve also a little experience volunteering at an old dog rehoming center. I work at an elementary school so I usually am not free until 5-6pm. However, my work leaves my evenings and often weekends pretty free. I try to fill the role of their owners to the best of my ability. I’ll try to keep the routine animals want to make them comfy. I also love dog cuddles but am usually gentle. I am pretty good at slowly working to gain trust and read their body language.

About: I've taken care of dogs and cats ever since I can remember. My family and I have had anywhere from a little Chihuahua/beagle mix to Labs and Siberian huskies so I've cared for big and small dogs. I currently own 3 cats but take care of 4. My oldest is 6 years old now and my youngest is 2 years old. I've had them all since they were kittens I'm working part-time so I have a few days of the week open to walk and/or play with dogs or cats. I miss having a dog to walk/exercise and play with so I'm looking forward to doing so :) I don't house others' pets in my home but I am willing to care for pets in others' homes. As long as you can provide me with your pets daily needs and inform me of any allergies they may have, I'm confident I can care for them.
