Personalized care for your dog or cat - Lamar Heights

“Stephanie is simply wonderful! She watched my elderly dog named Cosmo for 2 days on short notice, when he had just started on meds and he had limited mobility. In just a few days with her support and making sure he received his medications, he had much improved. She watched Cosmo like he was her own and shared updates all through the day including pictures. It was as if I had never left him. I feel Cosmo and I were truly blessed by her kindness. I highly recommend Stephanie to watch your fur baby. They would be loved and cared for like their owner would, if not better.”

“Julie is the BEST! She is like a second home for Daddy Bear and we are eternally grateful. She sends daily updates and photos, makes sure he gets play time outdoors, and makes him feel special like part of her family. We had peace of mind and never worried once about our fur baby.”

Mich D.

About: I have owned dogs before I could even read. I have always loved dogs and have cared for a large variety of dogs, whether that be age, size, gender, or breed. I have such a love for dogs, I’ve considered becoming a dog trainer ever since I was a child. I’m not currently working, so I’m very flexible with reservations. Just let me know ahead of time and I can be very flexible with you! I remain consistent in their daily routines, especially for potty breaks. I am a huge advocate for positive reinforcement training, so I will make sure the dogs are recognized for doing good.

“Sam and her husband are great! They took care of our Goldendoodle for a week. They kept in touch with us during the week with pictures and videos. We couldn’t have asked for a more caring family to watch our Izzy. We highly recommend them and will be using them the next time we leave town. Thank you again Sam for taking such good care of our fur baby.”

About: Your pets are your family and it’s no different when they are with me! I am a stay at home mom so I’m always available to give your pets cuddles or take them out on walks. I have experience with dogs who take medications, have seizures, need special diets and can handle other needs as they arise. I am a stay at home mom and my husband works from home so we are always available to take care of your pet with walks or snuggles! Our yard has a fenced in section for pets and our neighborhood is a great environment for safe walks. We have 2 toddlers who love to run around and play so your pet will be very well entertained. We also have 2 lazy dogs and 1 sleepy cat so if your fur baby prefers naps and cuddles they will fit right in over here as well!

“Samantha did a wonderful job caring for our sweet pup. From the meet and greet I could tell she knew so much about dogs and how to help them adjust to new environments, people, places, and other animals. She has such a sweet demeanor which is great for dogs who are out of their normal routine. We would highly recommend Samantha and her services to anyone looking for loving care for their fur baby.”

About: I’ve been taking care of pets since I was 5 and I’ve loved it ever since. I’ve had owned many dogs and cats. I’ve helped with pets of all ages, from tiny babies to sweet seniors. I’m going to school for animal behavior and care because animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I love making sure they’re happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. Right now, I am going to school online for my bachelors while working! Pet care is the perfect way for me to stay busy doing something I love while also helping people out. It fits into my routine really well right now because I have the time and flexibility, and it gives me experience for my future career with animals. It’s a win-win, I get to be around pets and give them the love and care they deserve while I’m in this in-between stage. When I’m caring for pets in someone’s home, I treat it like my own, with a lot of respect and care. I always follow your instructions closely because every pet has their own routine and comfort zone. I make sure they feel safe, loved, and relaxed while you’re away. Whether it’s sticking to their feeding schedule, giving meds, or just keeping them company, I focus on creating a calm and happy environment. I know how much trust it takes to let someone into your home, and I don’t take that lightly.

About: I've cared for dogs of all kinds for the past 20 years. My buddy growing up was a German Shepherd, and now I'm at the other end of the spectrum — with a goofy little Chihuahua. Your pet is part of your family. I promise to treat them like they're part of mine, too. I work from home with a flexible schedule every day, so I'll have plenty of time to take care of your pet like my own. I'll follow all instructions you give me to the tee to make sure your pet is cared for properly. I want your pet to be as safe and secure as possible.

About: I’m a dedicated cat lover with three years of experience caring for cats! I understand how important it is to have a reliable, caring sitter, and I’ll treat your cat like my own. Whether your kitty needs feeding, playtime, medication, or just some extra love while you’re away, I’m here to help. I’d love to meet you and your feline friend!

About: I have cared for and had pups and cats since I started elementary school, but I picked up the bigger responsibilities with caring for critters around age 15. I have three labs, (ages four, three and two), one cat and a fish. My two females have each had a healthy litter of ten puppies that I cared and found homes for! I am very attentive to my animals and their needs and even more so to other creatures. I currently work as a dog groomer and boarding technician which has given me knowledge on many different temperaments of pups and techniques on how to uniquely tend to them while having safety and care as top priority. Caring for my animals is weaved into my daily routine. I wake up early enough to tend to my pups before my kids wake up to ensure everyone’s needed are met. Depending on the weather we typically have afternoon playtimes or walkies or we will have some water play to end a hot day. Checking water/feed, refreshing water and feed, bath and brushing, and administering medications are all just a part our normal routine list at home for our critters. for in-home visits I am prepared to accompany your animal in any weather and follow through with what your pet is accustomed to. The comfort and safety of your animal is most important. I have emergency numbers for vets and contacts to assist me in an emergency situation (choking, wound, any current illnesses like seizures, etc). Saying that I am NOT a licensed veterinarian.

About: I’ve worked in a veterinary clinic for 7 years and have lived with animals my entire life. I work with cats indoors and/or outdoors. All ages are accepted. I have experience in grooming/bathing, administering oral and injection medications, and wound care/bandaging. I have a part-time job but I make sure your pets take priority.

“Hunter was great! He came over reliably to feed an outdoor cat and sent daily updates with photos. I highly recommend this reliable young man.”

Melinda C.

About: I’ve lived with cats my whole life and totally get their moods, quirks, and need for both space and love. I’m super patient and gentle, and I always try to bond with each cat in their own way, whether that means playtime, quiet company, or just making sure they feel safe. I’m comfortable with senior cats, kittens, giving medications, and yes… I don’t mind cleaning litter boxes either! I really enjoy making cats feel at home even when their people are away.

“She did amazing taking care of our 3cats. Always showed up when she said she would. Sent pics and videos every vist. Will be definitely using her again”

“My boy is so excited to go in Teagan‘s house he nearly pulls my arm off! I love that he’s in a home environment and not at a daycare where he’s crated with short play breaks. He has so much fun with the other dogs. Teigan’s flexible hours really help me out.”

About: I am an all around animal lover who is looking forward to taking care of your furry companion. As someone who has lived with dogs for their entire life, I know what your pet means to you and I am fully capable of providing for their needs whenever you are not around. With me, not only would I be providing them with the essentials (food, water, etc.) but I would make sure to ensure their comfort since I know how much they'll miss you (and vice versa). I am currently working part time at a local business but spend the majority of time at home. I am available most hours of the day to compassionately care for your pet! I have a fenced-in yard with two friendly dogs with plenty of space for privacy for any nervous pets visiting. We have 1 large and 1 small crate that we can easily use if your dog prefers a safe, closed-in environment. Pets are also welcome on all our furniture, I just request a fore-warning if your companion is a chewer so I know to take extra care keeping an eye on them. :) If you prefer me to come to your home to care for your pet, I would love to schedule a day to visit your home ahead of time and you can teach me their routine so I can keep them as comfortable as possible. :)

“Julie and Jensen were so very kind and effective for our puppy’s first sleepover. We will be back for many times to come. Thank you for having a safe, cozy place for him. And the pictures were a nice touch! I highly recommend!”

About: I have had dogs all my life but have been dog sitting since I was 16 years old for neighbors, family and friends. Me and my wife have a home in Joplin missouri with a huge privacy fenced back yard. Rest assured your pets will have plenty of space for play and relaxing. I am photographer and a stay at home dad! This gives me the opportunity to be home all day for plenty of play and potty breaks. Our son is one year old but is never unsupervised around any pets. Our fenced in yard is very spacious and we have gated areas in our home to separate dogs from each other if needed. We have two dogs of our own Argyle & Daisy who are very friendly and love to play. They are also kept up to date on all vaccinations and are treated for fleas using Seresto collars. We do not have any issues with bugs of any kind and are a non smoking home. Pets are allowed on furniture and beds in our home and have comfy spaces everywhere. Be prepared for plenty of update pictures! We do not use pesticides or weed killer of any kind and our yard is kept chemical free. We also keep water indoors to prevent bacteria from building up. We refresh water as needed.

“I was very happy with Donovan! Rosie has separation anxiety and she warmed up to him so I think he is a perfect match for her! I would recommend him to sit with your pet!”
