“She was amazing and was wonderful with my dog. She sent multiple daily updates and photos. Her dogs played well with mine and they had a great time. I will definitely keep her in mind for next booking.”

“She sent a lot of pictures and videos every day, which helped me feel less anxious about leaving my pup behind. She was very nice, and I could tell Groot was happy to be there and was getting all the love he needed. It was a warm environment that really made him feel at home.”

“Excellent, attentive care for my two toy poodles! Kyla took wonderful care of my dogs during their two-night stay. I especially appreciated her understanding and patience with my elderly poodle who has vision difficulties. She made sure both dogs were comfortable and well-looked after. I really appreciated the pics she sent me! My pups came home happy and relaxed, which gave me great peace of mind. Would definitely book with her again!”

“Debbie boarded my 1 year old German Shepherd mix at her house. She was absolutely fabulous! Sent pictures and communicated great. My pup had a great time. I would HIGHLY recommend Debbie to anyone needing their pups taken care of!”

“Chris was awesome! She took Ophelia on short notice, showed me the whole setup and introduced me to the other dogs, sent updates and photos, and clearly our dog had a lot of fun! Definitely recommend her.”

About: Hi, I’m Gabby! I started pet sitting in 2019 and quickly realized that caring for animals was more than just a job—it became my passion. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of caring for countless pets, and I still love every moment of it! I’m the proud dog mom of three and have been surrounded by animals my whole life. Growing up on a farm gave me hands-on experience with all kinds of animals, from dogs and cats to livestock. I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing them with love, attention, and top-quality care. I offer house sitting, drop-in visits, dog walking, and doggy daycare. Whether your pet needs a cozy place to stay, a mid-day walk, or care in the comfort of your home, I ensure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and exercise. I also have experience working with pets of all temperaments, including shy or anxious animals. I love building long-term relationships with clients and their pets. If you’re looking for a reliable, experienced, and passionate pet sitter, I’d love to help! Feel free to message me with any questions—I can’t wait to meet your furry family member! 🐾 Pet care is my full-time passion!

Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or overnight stays, I ensure each pet gets plenty of attention, love, and care! Safety and trust are my top priorities. In my home, I provide a secure, pet-friendly environment with ample space for pets to feel relaxed and at ease. I ensure the area is pet-proofed, keeping hazardous items out of reach. For house sitting, I treat your home with the utmost respect, following any specific care instructions you provide. I take extra care with introductions to ensure pets feel safe and comfortable.

“Shelley is a great sitter. She took great care of my dog, Coal. Coal was very happy and healthy when we picked her up. Shelley was great to work with. We had some travel issues and was very understanding and accommodating. I would definitely use Shelley again if we are ever in the area. She watched Coal while we were visiting some historical sites on vacation. It might be a while before we get back to Missouri. She gave us a hand drawn portrait of Coal when we picked her up. That was awesome.”

“Julie was great! This was the first time we had a sitter for our 6 month old puppy, Charley. Julie was very patient and understanding and very flexible concerning our ever-changing schedule. She kept us updated on Charley throughout his stay. We were very happy with Julie's care of our pup and will not hesitate to request her services again.”
