Personalized care for your dog or cat - Novinger

“Max was so worn out from all the fun and playing he did. I am happy to know when I’m away that he is taken care of so well. Thank you!!!!”

“Regina and Cathy are amazing. Auggie had the time of his life while staying with them. Treated him like a member of their family. You can’t get a more caring and fun environment for your dog. So glad to meet them and will most definitely be bringing Auggie back to see his new friends whenever we need a sitter in kirksville”

“Stephanie did a great job watching my Morkie and schnauzer while we were out of town. She was very good at letting me know how they were doing when I text her, however, no photos were received. I would recommend her to others.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for the last 15 years. I currently own a 2 year old boxer pitbull mix who is a ball of energy. I have administered medicine such as eye drops, ear drops, and lotion to dogs. I have experience with small dog breeds such as yorkies to extra large breed dogs such as Great Danes. I would love to walk and hangout with your pet and take care of them like they are my own! I also owned cats for multiple years and have cared for my friends cats! I am a teacher so I would only be able to take care of the pet after 3:30. I also have my own pet who I would need to go home to first. On weekends I am available all day for whatever you need! I crate my dog when leaving so I am knowledgeable in crating dogs when I need to leave. I am very observant and pay close attention to locking doors or gates behind me. I will always make sure your animal is on a leash. If a toy gets destroyed I will put it up where they will not be able to reach it.

About: I have been taking care of animals since I was a kid. I grew up owning dogs, small rodents, and fish. I pet sat for several families when I was in highschool and I am on-call for my friends if they ever need a sitter. I currently have 2 dogs and 2 cats and they are my children. I am an excellent communicator and, if you'd like, you can expect pictures both flattering and not of your pets. I am currently in school and have class from 9-3 with breaks for lunch during the week. I can be available every weekday except for wednesdays throughout the day for drop-ins. I will treat your animals as well as my own. I am a fan of routines and will abide by yours to the best of my ability. I know how important consistency can be to make pets feel safe when their people are away. I am not able to board animals at my home.

“Stephanie communicated well and cared for our cat while we were gone! He loved her.”

“Regina was very kind and welcoming to my German shepherd mix! My pup got along well with her two dogs and I received beautiful pictures of her stay. I will definitely be relying on her in the future!”

About: I have had pets all my life! My chihuahua is 15 years old , he is like a child to me. I take the time and patience with everything I do. Pets bring joy to my life and I will treat your pet with love and care! I work remotely from home and have the freedom of my own schedule most days. I'm happy to help in any way I can. I can stop in on lunch breaks and anytime after 3 during the week. I'm free most weekends all day. When caring for pets in my home or in my client’s home, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow each pet’s routine closely—feeding times, walks, playtime, and any special instructions you provide. I give plenty of attention, enrichment, and affection, while also respecting each pet’s individual personality and boundaries. I keep their environment clean, their needs met, and always make sure they get the same level of care they’re used to with you. Communication is important to me, so I provide updates and photos to give you peace of mind while you’re away.

“I am so sorry I am posting this so late!! I 100% forgot until now. Stephanie is wonderful with my dog! Marlowe goes to her without any trouble! Communication is open and quick! Marlowe will be back!”

“Regina is one of those people you immediately trust almost immediately. She is organized, genuine, flexible, and is really good with my little buddy, Taco. He took to her immediately and had a great walk. Great service.”
