Personalized care for your dog or cat - Chilhowee
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Chilhowee
“Hands down the best cat sitter I’ve ever used, five stars, ten out of ten. She kept my little baby happy and spoiled while I was gone, sent adorable photo updates every single day without me even asking, and everything felt so easy and stress-free. Seriously, if you’re looking for someone who actually cares about your cat like it’s her own, she’s the one. Book her now, you won’t regret it!!!”
“Chloe was awesome with my pup Angus. She provided excellent services and communication throughout the sitting period. I will definitely be using her for future sittings! Thank you Chloe!”
“Our Beagle enjoyed his weekend stay with Yulian and her husband. He was uneasy, as we knew he would be, when we dropped him off, but soon got acquainted with them and their dog. We were sent regular updates with pictures that made us feel at ease. We will definitely consider them again for our future travels!”
“Candice was great! We got photos at least twice/ day; we got videos, and we got multiple updates. I think our dog was sad to leave her family and come home with us. I would absolutely bring Meatball back to her. It is very clear that she loves dogs and takes great care of them. I can’t recommend her enough!”
About: I’ve been tasked to take care of all kinds of animals for as long as I can remember. All of my family and friends have been able to rely on me to host or sit their pet from farm animals to house pets when need be. I work night shifts and free on the weekends so I’m always able to take care of pets. And I have a dog of my own so pet care is a every day thing for me. I have a fenced in backyard, doggy door and a lead attachment for dogs I host and my own dog to come and go as they please along with plenty of space to play in either the garage or one of 3 bedrooms.
“Wonderful communication! She was super flexible with pick up and drop off times. Her dogs got along so well with our pup! He truly seems like he had the best time playing all weekend long! Cecelia sent us picture and video updates and responded super quickly anytime we wanted to check up on him. I HIGHLY recommend her and felt super comfortable leaving our puppy dog with her!”
“Shaye was absolutely wonderful! Super responsive and gave us updates throughout the entire stay. My dog got along super well with her sweet pups. They had an absolute blast! I highly recommend Shaye :)”
“I was nervous about leaving our dog for a 9-day stay, when the most we had ever been away from her was for 3 days. But Jenn took wonderful care of our dog, sent daily pictures and updates, and I soon realized our dog was having a vacation of her own. From other dogs to play with, a fenced backyard and doggy door, our dog lived her best life. Thanks Jenn for taking excellent care of Ellie!”

I've always had dogs in my family growing up, which lead me to finding my passion in caring for animals. I have experience in giving pups medication, grooming, identifying illnesses, and body language thanks to my last job at a doggy daycare! I've been around and cared for dogs of all shapes and sizes! I understand how important your furry family members are and will make sure they have everything they need (and make sure they have tons of fun of course!) I have experience with cats as well, having two of my own and taking care of our local strays. :) I also have experience in taking care of chickens, ducks and fish and am comfortable with any other pets you may have! I have respect and compassion for all animals and would love to provide them with the love and care they deserve. I am currently pursuing Rover full time so I have lots of flexibility. Let me know what your schedule is and I can be available whenever you need me! I understand the meaning of integrity and integrate it fully into my services.

I can give them a safe environment where they feel loved and secure.
About: In the previous 10+ years, I have been taking care of horses and dogs. I have extensive equine knowledge due to my degree and previous employments. I am comfortable giving both horse and dog medicines of various types. As for dogs, I have done all the training on my own, I’m comfortable with puppies, can handle different temperaments, senior care, and special needs cases. I’m willing to also offer drop in services for equines and other animals. Please message me with any questions you may have! I work from home, so I am around most of the time. If I’m out running errands, it tends to be a couple hours away from home. I have a fenced in yard where the dogs can run and play freely. I also have acreage for long walks. I have two dogs of my own that are very friendly and love friends. I feed my dogs separately from your dogs and am flexible to accommodate your dog
“Meghan was very accommodating with my senior special needs dog. He needed the comfort of someone's home. Her children were an added bonus because he loves kids. We don't travel often so being able to find a place Woody felt comfortable as well as myself helped relieve the anxiety of traveling. Our drop off and pick up time needed to be flexible and Meghan was very available via text to and work with those times on the fly. If we have to travel again I will feel comfortable leaving Woody with her.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 20 years and have experience with puppies, senior dogs, and dogs of all sizes and personalities. As a lifelong dog owner and elementary school teacher, I’m patient, dependable, and attentive to every pet’s unique needs. I have a large fenced-in yard where dogs can safely run and play, as well as a friendly black Lab who loves having canine visitors. He’s playful and social but also respectful of dogs who prefer a quieter, more relaxed environment. Whether your dog needs exercise, cuddles, medication, or simply companionship while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I’ll treat your pet like one of my own and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy peace of mind while you’re away. I’m currently off for the summer, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pet the attention they deserve. Whether your dog needs daycare, overnight boarding, walks, or drop-in visits, I’ll make sure they get lots of playtime, exercise, cuddles, and companionship. I can accommodate most schedules and will do my best to meet your pet’s routine. Safety, Trust & Environment My home is a safe, welcoming place for dogs to relax and have fun. I have a fully fenced yard where they can run and play under supervision, and my friendly black Lab enjoys having visitors but is gentle with dogs who prefer their own space. Whether your pet is energetic or more laid-back, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I maintain a clean, secure environment, closely supervise outdoor time, and follow all feeding, medication, and care instructions provided by owners. My goal is to make your dog feel right at home while giving you peace of mind.
“I could not have asked for a better host. Ashley is extremely sweet, caring, responsible and very thorough. I felt completely comfortable leaving Abby in her care. Ashley's dog Sally is a sweetheart and got along very well with Abby. I loved that Abby would have a playmate during this stay. Ashley was also very communicative. She sent me texts to ask any questions as well as regular photo updates throughout the stay. When I picked Abby up, I could tell that she was happy, playful, and well taken care of. Thank you, Ashley & Sally! See you very soon!”
“Kirsten did a great job taking care of my dog. She gets anxious at times, but Kirsten made great efforts making her feel at home. Kirsten was also flexible allowing my friend to pick up my dog. I highly recommend Kirsten.”

Cat caregivers near you - Chilhowee
“I had a great experience with Laurie! She was reliable, attentive, and clearly cared about our cat’s well being. She kept me updated, followed all instructions, and made me feel completely at ease while we were away. I came home to a happy, well cared for cat, which says everything. I would absolutely recommend her and would not hesitate to book her again.”
About: I come from a dog loving family with over 25 years of experience. I love pet sitting and our own dogs love the company of new friends! My home is on 10 acres with lots of room to stretch our legs! Daily walks, playing fetch, and a comfy dog bed to sleep on! I will only crate your pet if I leave the home to run to the store or if that’s where they are used to sleeping. Dogs of all ages and breeds are welcome! I work from home so am here 24/7. We take lots of breaks for walks and play time! If we must leave, we are gone for no more than an hour or two to run errands. Our pets are beyond spoiled. Our older dogs have free reign of the 10 acres unless kenneled when we leave. They all get lots of belly rubs and their own beds to rest on.
“Excellent service. Worked with me when I sent a booking request for an hour later. Had no issues booking and she responded quickly and didn’t hassle me for the last minute booking. My pets were happy, healthy, and well cared for! Even the photos she took looked so professional, I love them.”
“Cassidy made 4 trips to tend our two cats. Because the cats are so skittish, she wasn't able to interact with them, but she kept them fed and watered and she brought in our mail and newspapers. The cats were in good shape when we got home.”
“Caitlin did an excellent job and had no problem handling our complex entry/exit procedures. She came by in advance to meet our cat Nitro and learn all of this preferences. We got pictures and written updates on each visit. We will be using her again!”
“Cory was beyond amazing! She took great care of our 2 cats when we were gone for a week. She came over to meet them before watching them and they instantly loved her (they're usually very shy around strangers, so it was surprising!!). You could tell that she genuinely cared about them while we were gone. We will absolutely be having her care for them again in the future!! Thanks Cory!:)”

About: I have an extensive understanding over dogs, cats, horses, exotics, and even the common goldfish all the way down to a medical understanding! (I’m in school to be a veterinary technician) Being raised on a farm I’ve been around just about every animal and feel that I’m extremely equipped for any situation that may arise. I have a large knowledge over geriatrics, high-low energy, overcoming anxiety and stressors, and even offer my own training exercises with every client.

Seeing that I have my own two pups, I have rounded out a schedule for myself that leaves me very free for your pets needs! All I need is a message and I’ll be on the way! If your pet is more equipped for Long distance running or sniffing off leash, I have my family farm roughly 20 mins from Sedalia that I would be more than happy to take them to for a new experience! If your pup is more adapted to an in town walk around, I also have an apartment in downtown Sedalia and a perfected walking route that has been tested with my pooch!

About: I’ve been taking care of animals ever since I was a kid! I currently have three dogs of my very own who I love more than anything. I’ve recently gained experience taking care of chickens and ducks as well! I can take care of pretty much any animal as long as I am comfortable doing so and shown what to do beforehand 😊 My schedule is currently very flexible. I’m good with set schedules as long as they fit my own, or just sporadic check ups! I am currently a stay at home mom during the day and have a part time job 3 nights a week. Please note that during the week I may bring my kids with me for walks or drop ins, but they will be in a car seat/stroller the entire time. 😊 I’ve recently decided to start doggy day care in my home! This will be up to my own discretion since I have two younger children in the home and three dogs as well, so I want to make sure all pets are a good fit!
About: I’m Yulian but also known as Julie! I’ve always loved dogs, especially when I was young. I was like any typical kid, wishing and hoping my parents would give me a dog. I would dog sit a lot of family friends pets and always felt drawn to them. If I’m at work or house sitting, my husband is home so don’t worry your pets will never be on their own. I live in an a 4-plex house, and have 1 dog but she’s extremely lovable and loves meeting new paw friends! I do also take her on walks and runs in the mornings/sometimes evenings, I would be more than happy to bring your dog along. I treat others pets like if they were my own. I know how nerve wracking it can be to leave your pet(s) somewhere you’re not around, but I’ll make sure to make them feel loved. As mentioned I’m a fairly active person, so I would be willing to take your pet on a walk or even the dog park. As well If needed I can administer medication and take them a bath!

I truly love caring for other people's animals and treating them like part of the family. To me, pet sitting is more than just a job—it's an opportunity to create a safe, loving, and comfortable environment for pets while their owners are away.

I have a spare room that can easily fit a crate if needed and a walking trail just a few minutes down the road to get your pup’s energy out if needed!
About: I have 30+ years of responsible pet ownership. I guess I really should say my pets have a combined 25+ years of Jenn ownership. I am a teacher and have a fairly flexible schedule. I have not met a dog that I did not like. I live in a great neighborhood that offers sidewalks or wide streets to allow for walks. I have experience with oral and injectable medications. My dogs eat in the morning and evenings. I do not usually feed my dogs store bought treats as they prefer fresh carrots, green beans, asparagus, and sugar snap peas. While your dog is in my care, I will take care of him/her like they are my own. Your fur babies are in good hands with me! I'm a teacher during the school year. I have a dog door so potty breaks aren't an issue. I feed my personal dogs twice a day. I treat all animals in my care as if they were my own. I don't kennel unless pet parents request it.

About: I recently retired from the Navy and now live with my wife on 9 peaceful acres, just about a mile and a half off Highway 50 near Powell Gardens. It’s just the two of us here—no kids, no pets at the moment, aside from two laid-back turtles. We’ve had dogs in the past and loved every minute, but after moving frequently, we decided to hold off for now. That said, we’d love to show care and attention to your dog as if they were our own. Since I’m fully retired, I’m home throughout the day. I usually go for a daily walk for exercise, which works perfectly if your pup enjoys a good stroll. Our ranch-style home has pet-friendly vinyl floors and tons of open space to explore. While we don’t have a fenced yard, there’s plenty of room to roam—just let me know if your dog needs to stay on a leash and I’ll make sure to accommodate that. A Quick Note About Your Dog Please feel free to share any special needs, preferences, or routines your dog might have. And of course, if you have any questions at all, don’t hesitate to reach out. I’m genuinely excited to meet your doggo! I am fully retired so I can be home all day. Typically, I exercise with a walk so that would work with the dog as well. I have a large ranch style home with pet friendly vinyl floors. In plenty of land for dogs to run around I do not have a fenced in area so if your dog needs to be on a leash that is fine I just need to know.

I’m currently a stay at home wife after getting married a few months ago! My schedule is very flexible, especially during the day on weekdays. I live in a duplex with an unfenced yard. I have a spare room that can easily fit a crate if needed and a walking trail just a few minutes down the road to get your pup’s energy out if needed!
About: My name is Neha, I’m a recent pharmacy graduate who is looking to find some amazing, cute pets to sit! I don’t have any pets, so I am eager to take every opportunity that I can to look after some cute fur babies! I am very kind, responsible, understanding, and will work with you! Although I do not have any pets, my desire is to have my own pet in a few years after I am more settled down! Taking care of your pets would give me the opportunity to experience what having a pet is like and all the responsibilities that come along with it. I love dogs of any shape or size. 🐾 I am currently not working and am just using my time to study for my upcoming pharmacy board exams from home. Pet sitting would give me some excitement to look forward to in my usual day to day routine. I make sure to follow the schedule as laid out by the pets owners. I will also continue to ask questions and provide updates regarding the pets to owners.
About: My name is Nicole, I have roughly 20 years of experience. I’m a certified Veterinary Assistant from Animal Behavior College. I did an externship at a vet clinic before receiving my certification at Animal Behavior College. I completed it in 2017. I have had animals all my life mostly cats and dogs. I have two dogs myself one is a Corgi/German Shepard name Jaxx ( 7 years old) and a Belgian Malinois named Nido who is (8 years old). Both of them get along with other animals and people. They both have amazing personality’s and are characters. I am very flexible and accommodating to your animal needs. Any questions or concern I’m an open book and keep communication open between both parties. My job is to give you peace and mind that your fur babies are taken care of.
About: I have a genuine love for animals and take great pride in providing reliable, caring pet-sitting services. Having grown up on a farm, I gained hands-on experience with a wide range of animals, from household pets to livestock. This background has taught me responsibility, patience, and how to care for animals of all kinds. I treat every pet as if it were my own, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I attend school online, which gives me a very flexible schedule. This allows me to travel for pet-sitting jobs and even stay overnight when needed, as long as there’s Wi-Fi so I can keep up with my classes. Since I’m currently applying for more jobs, my availability is open and adaptable, making it easy for me to provide consistent, reliable care for pets whenever I’m needed. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I make sure to follow their usual routines as closely as possible so the pets feel comfortable and secure. I provide regular feeding, fresh water, playtime, and plenty of affection. I also take time to clean up after them, whether that’s refreshing litter boxes, wiping paws, or tidying up their spaces. If I’m staying overnight, I make sure the home stays neat and the pets get extra attention and companionship. My goal is always to create a safe, calm, and loving environment while keeping the owner’s home just as they left it.
About: I have an extensive understanding over dogs, cats, horses, exotics, and even the common goldfish all the way down to a medical understanding! (I’m in school to be a veterinary technician) Being raised on a farm I’ve been around just about every animal and feel that I’m extremely equipped for any situation that may arise. I have a large knowledge over geriatrics, high-low energy, overcoming anxiety and stressors, and even offer my own training exercises with every client. Not only do I love animals, but with my high energy and love for the outdoors and exploring, I feel that your pet will love me just the same! Seeing that I have my own two pups, I have rounded out a schedule for myself that leaves me very free for your pets needs! All I need is a message and I’ll be on the way! If your pet is more equipped for Long distance running or sniffing off leash, I have my family farm roughly 20 mins from Sedalia that I would be more than happy to take them to for a new experience! If your pup is more adapted to an in town walk around, I also have an apartment in downtown Sedalia and a perfected walking route that has been tested with my pooch! Being in Sedalia for a year now, we have also found some very nice enclosed doggy parks that we’ve come to love as well as other great places that no dogs can resist! With in house care, I am home almost 100% of the time so whether we are at my house or yours, time will be spent!
About: I worked at Summit Pet Care for four years. I worked in the daycare, front desk, and kennels department. I have made valuable relationships with several clients. For those clients I have pet sat for them while they have been out of town. I have also walked many of their pups during a busy for them. I work Monday, Wednesday, and Friday and the rest of the week make time to exercise my own dog. Along with getting online classes done for UCM.. I care for my pets by always getting them with a clam but happy energy. First thing I always do with any pup is take them outside making sure there are no accidents in the home. If I am just meeting the pup I always allow them time to get used to me and make sure I am a loving person.

“Hands down the best cat sitter I’ve ever used, five stars, ten out of ten. She kept my little baby happy and spoiled while I was gone, sent adorable photo updates every single day without me even asking, and everything felt so easy and stress-free. Seriously, if you’re looking for someone who actually cares about your cat like it’s her own, she’s the one. Book her now, you won’t regret it!!!”
“Chloe was awesome with my pup Angus. She provided excellent services and communication throughout the sitting period. I will definitely be using her for future sittings! Thank you Chloe!”
“Our Beagle enjoyed his weekend stay with Yulian and her husband. He was uneasy, as we knew he would be, when we dropped him off, but soon got acquainted with them and their dog. We were sent regular updates with pictures that made us feel at ease. We will definitely consider them again for our future travels!”
“Candice was great! We got photos at least twice/ day; we got videos, and we got multiple updates. I think our dog was sad to leave her family and come home with us. I would absolutely bring Meatball back to her. It is very clear that she loves dogs and takes great care of them. I can’t recommend her enough!”
About: I’ve been tasked to take care of all kinds of animals for as long as I can remember. All of my family and friends have been able to rely on me to host or sit their pet from farm animals to house pets when need be. I work night shifts and free on the weekends so I’m always able to take care of pets. And I have a dog of my own so pet care is a every day thing for me. I have a fenced in backyard, doggy door and a lead attachment for dogs I host and my own dog to come and go as they please along with plenty of space to play in either the garage or one of 3 bedrooms.
“Wonderful communication! She was super flexible with pick up and drop off times. Her dogs got along so well with our pup! He truly seems like he had the best time playing all weekend long! Cecelia sent us picture and video updates and responded super quickly anytime we wanted to check up on him. I HIGHLY recommend her and felt super comfortable leaving our puppy dog with her!”
“Shaye was absolutely wonderful! Super responsive and gave us updates throughout the entire stay. My dog got along super well with her sweet pups. They had an absolute blast! I highly recommend Shaye :)”
“I was nervous about leaving our dog for a 9-day stay, when the most we had ever been away from her was for 3 days. But Jenn took wonderful care of our dog, sent daily pictures and updates, and I soon realized our dog was having a vacation of her own. From other dogs to play with, a fenced backyard and doggy door, our dog lived her best life. Thanks Jenn for taking excellent care of Ellie!”
