Personalized care for your dog or cat - Ionia

“Thank you for all the excellent care and extra days when we had a family emergency! You treated them like family! We appreciate your care of our girls!!”

“We had a great experience with Destiny and Matthew while they took care of our dog Maple over the weekend. They are a very kind and caring couple, and it was evident from the start that Maple was in good hands. Destiny's prompt responses and regular updates with pictures and videos were reassuring and showed just how much attention and love Maple was receiving. Maple had a blast playing with their dogs and came back happy. We highly recommend Destiny and Matthew for anyone looking for attentive and loving pet sitters!”

Carla W.

“This was our first time ever having a sitter for a pet. Shane and Lance made the whole process so easy for us and Bowser. We received pictures, videos and updates. They welcomed and treated Bowser as one of their own. We can't thank them enough for the wonderful job they did watching Bowser. If we ever need a dog sitter again, we know who to reach out to!!”

Janet M.

“We never used rover before and were nervous about using it but I was shocked when I met her so caring and can really tell she truly loves animals fair pricing for two dogs I would absolutely recommend her for anyone if she has availability use her just meeting her will put your mind at ease and quick responses and pictures . Obi and aspen if they need boarding again I know who to text first !”

Wesley H.

“Addilyn was very accommodating and flexible with us and clearly loves dogs! Our dog loved being with her and her family with all the outside time. Thanks!”

Steph K.

“This was our first time to leave our small dog and we couldn’t be more happy. Paula goes above and beyond to give love and attention and sent us several messages, photos and videos to ease our concerns about Milly possibly not adapting. When we picked her up she was happy as could be. We highly recommend Paula!”

Laurel M.

“Dewayne was amazing. I had a last minute booking and he made it super easy. Sent pictures and updates, and Benny was very clearly happy. It was great to have my mind at ease while 3 hours away. I will 100% be booking again.”

David S.

“We love Brittany and her family! Carrot always had a blast playing with her pups and kids and makes himself at home. I love that we receive tons of photo updates during his overnight stays and knowing he’s in good hands helps us enjoy our time away. Would highly recommend!”

Sydney M.

“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!”

Angie W.

“Katie was extremely flexible with us which took a lot of stress out of our travelling holiday plans. It sounds like my dog had a great time with Katie's dogs as well. I couldn't be happier.”

Kevin T.

“Courtney was great with our basset hound! She was super flexible with the drop off and pick up time and took our pup on multiple walks! I would definitely recommend!”

Mallory L.

“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.”

About: I’ve cared for animals my whole life, from family pets to farm animals. I have hands-on experience with dogs and cats of all ages and temperaments, including energetic puppies and older pets who need extra patience. I’ve also shadowed veterinarians and spent time learning about animal health and behavior, which helps me notice the little things that keep pets safe and happy. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, administering simple medications, and making sure each pet feels loved and cared for. Whether it’s going for a walk, playtime, or just keeping your pets company while you’re away, I treat every animal like they’re my own. I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule for pet care. I’m available during breaks throughout the day for walks and drop-ins, as well as evenings and weekends for longer visits or overnight care. If you have specific timing needs, just let me know. I’ll do my best to work around your schedule so your pets always get the care they need. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always treat your space with the same respect I would my own. I follow your routines closely, keep things tidy, and make sure your pets feel comfortable in their familiar environment. Safety is my top priority! I double-check doors, gates, and leashes, and I pay attention to each pet’s specific needs. I’m also happy to provide regular updates with photos, so you can feel at ease knowing your pets are happy and well cared for while you’re away.

“the best! bree even made sure my Waylon’s show was going for him before she left! :)”

Including but not limited to dogs, cats, rodents, reptiles, foul/birds, and minimal farm animals. However, every fur buddy or man’s best friend is unique. Let’s communicate on the needs or preferences for your special furry family member and see if I can accommodate. I appreciate your careful consideration.

About: I’ve always been a cat person, and they always seem to respond well immediately to me. Even feisty cats’ owners are always impressed at how quickly they warm up to me. I’ve had cats as pets all my life and have great attention to detail on cleanliness of litter boxes and water bowls. I have 5 years of vet tech experience and can help with oral or injectable medications.

About: Seven years ago, I welcomed my first cat into my life, and since then, my appreciation for these amazing creatures has only deepened. Currently, I share my home with two wonderful feline companions who bring endless joy and enrichment to my days. William, the elder of the two, came into my life during the COVID-19 pandemic and prefers a stable, unchanging environment. He dislikes disruptions like new cats or unexpected visitors. On the other paw, Sir Walter Mouselot, my younger boy, is more sociable and open to making new friends, although his grumpy older brother often puts a damper on his efforts. Because of my cats' unique personalities and needs, I've discovered a passion for caring for cats in their own homes. Whether it's providing company, playtime, or simply ensuring their comfort, I tailor my care to meet their individual requirements. My experience has taught me patience, understanding, and a deep respect for the unique bond between humans and felines. I couldn't imagine my life without these furry companions, and I look forward to continuing to enrich their lives as they enrich mine.

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’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!

“Morgan was great! Very accommodating and easy to work with! Our puppy, Peanut, loved her stays there! We will definitely be using her again in the future!!!”
