Personalized care for your dog or cat - Ozark
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Ozark
“We’ve had several successful bookings with Jason. This is the first place I can leave my dogs and not worry about them while I’m gone. Jason and his family do a great job!”
“Stephanie took great care of my dog; he gets really anxious around new people but during his stay he had a great time. She is very communicative and kept me in the loop with pictures and updates. I would highly recommend her!”
“We really felt comfortable leaving our dog Cooper with Eve-she kept us up-to-date with ongoing photos and activities. Our dog made new dog and cat friends, took amazing walks, and got lots of cuddles. Would strongly recommend Eve to other pet owners. .”
About: I’ve had a dog of my own since 2018, Ciri and I started when she could fit in my hand. Since then, I’ve added two more dogs to the home and it’s come in all types. I’ve dealt with them deathly sick, scared, nervous, hyper, and sleepy. I work full time at SIUC, but my friend and roommate is a retired Army veteran who spends most of his time at home. Unless something very unexpected happens, the dogs are not left alone for more than 4 hours. My house has two separately fenced in yards and I have three friendly dogs of my own and my roommate has one cat. We’re laidback and at constant war with husky hair, but we get by with optional crating and indoor and outdoor time whenever your pup needs it.

“Mallory was amazing with our cat. She checked in on him to feed him and clean the litter box daily. He was hospitalized for a urinary blockage previously so we have to keep a close eye on him to make sure he's eating his prescription diet and urinating regularly. It was such a relief to have someone we could depend on while we were gone. She kept us updated the whole trip and sent us tons of pictures.”
“As usual, Ashlyn did a wonderful job caring for my furbaby! She is SO flexible; it totally sets you at ease when your flight gets delayed…twice! She is always willing to step up and step in if/when needed if my travel plans are unexpectedly extended. So grateful to have her caring for Cricket! So nice to walk into my place just as I left it also!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND ASHLYN for all your pet care needs. 👍👍”

“Fig had a wonderful time. He is a 3 month old large breed with an endless supply of energy, but is sleeping and snoring as I write this review! Eve did a great job updating me and sending photos throughout my work day.”

I offer flexible boarding for pets who are comfortable hanging out at home during the day. I make sure everyone gets their energy out in the mornings, has a safe space while I’m at work, and then gets lots of love, potty breaks, and playtime in the evenings and on weekends. I treat every pet like family and make sure they’re safe and happy while you’re away. Whether your dog needs playtime, snuggles, or just a calm place to relax, I’ll make sure they’re cared for like one of my own.

I have grown up with dogs and cats as well as a turtle, hermit crabs, a chinchilla, ferret, and many more. For training to senior-pet experience, look no further! Big or small, I love them all! Currently looking to go back to school, my schedule is as flexible as you need it to be. I’m happy to apply your pets’ schedule to my day to day routine.

About: I’ve always had/been around dogs. With that comes responsibility and loving care. I have experience with all sizes and willing to accommodate any special needs. I’m currently a college student at Murray State, almost all my classes are online besides on Tuesday. My schedule is flexible, we can work out a time/date together. I do go to church on Sunday, so I would need that morning/afternoon off. I am a big cuddle bug. I pay attention to the small details. I enforce rules while trying to add some tricks. I keep the environment light and I try to accommodate in anyway for my clients and their babies(dogs).
