“Lona and Alan took such great care of my Goldendoodle! They were very kind, stayed in touch with regular updates and pictures, and were super responsive anytime I checked in. I felt completely at ease knowing my pup was in good hands. Highly recommend them!”
“Amanda was great! This is was the first time using Rover and was such a seamless process. She sent pics and updates throughout the time which reassured Kodiak was in good hands!”
“We used Angie for the second time to board our Frenchies while we were out of town, and she continues to be fantastic. She was incredibly communicative, sending daily updates with photos and videos of the girls so we never felt out of the loop. We had zero concerns the entire trip, knowing our pups were receiving the quality care they deserve. Thank you, Angie! We’ll definitely be booking with you again.”
“This was our fist time boarding our dogs. They did great and loved Joseph. He made them feel comfortable right away. They came back happy and tired. Would definitely recommend Joseph.”
“Wonderful pet sitting from Noreen and her family. They picked up my doggy and dropped him off as well as sent me many photos and updates. I would definitely book with them again. My doggy was well kept, clean and happy upon return. Thank You!”
“Taylor took great care of Gizmo! Taylor sent regular updates keeping us posted on how well he was doing. Gizmo really enjoyed his time there and felt like a part of the family. We highly recommend Taylor!”
“Dominic and his team at home took great care of Maddie. She came home worn out from all the playing with the other dogs. They have a great yard for outdoor playtime and plenty of beds all around (and a lap or two).”
“Ashley was amazing! I had a sudden family emergency and she took such great care of my dog. She was very responsive, sent lots of cute pictures and updates, and was flexible when I had to extend my trip by a day. She also sent my pup home with a paw print with her name on it, which was super cute. I would definitely book with Ashley again!”
“Mackenzie was wonderful with our high energy pup! We had a cancellation last minute, and she was very willing to take him in with such short notice. We will definitely be using her again!”
“Gail is THE BEST!! You can tell she really loves animals, especially the dogs. She made my Fredo feel very relaxed and at home under her care. She has a lovely home and makes all of the dogs she cares for very comfortable. I would use her again to watch Fredo. Fredo can't wait to go back to play with Sky! Thanks Gail.”
About: I ran a licensed daycare for children for 5 years, caring for 10 human toddlers at a time. I can definitely handle your schmoochie-poo. Plus, Zamboni is a great co-host! As a mom, I’m home when my kids are — which means I’m around most afternoons, evenings, and weekends. My office hours are limited, so someone is almost always here to give your pet attention, routine, and care. Whether it's a walk after school or weekend playtime, we’ve got room in our hearts and our home. I don’t have a fenced yard, but I make up for it with plenty of leashed walks and close supervision. I live near Stocksdale Park, which gives your pup a safe and scenic place to stretch their legs, sniff around, and burn off energy. My home is calm, kid-friendly, and full of love. Whether your dog loves playtime or prefers a cozy nap spot, they’ll be safe, happy, and well cared for here.
“Great sitter! Only my family has cared for him before and he hasn't been around other dogs much so I was a little anxious about leaving him with a stranger. My dog is big and strong and can be a handful but Ashley did a great job. Good communication. I'd feel very comfortable about leaving Champ with her again.”
“Christine was fantastic with our dog and communicated very well with frequent updates and availability. She was also gracious when we had to extend the pickup time. Highly recommend!”
“Leslie took such good care of our pup. He had never been away from home before so this was so out of his comfort zone but she took such good care of him. Would love for her to be one go-to dog sitter.”
“Laurie was so welcoming to our Jojo, and although this first visit was somewhat stressful to our girl, Laurie continued to yry to make her comfortable. We're so appreciative of all the communication and helpful ideas for future visits. The pictures helped ease our stress as well. Definitely will be seeing Laurie again!”
“Abigail was amazing! We needed a last minute dog sitter. She was super quick to respond and was glad to help. We were gone for a couple days. She was very communicative, sending us updates and photos throughout. Abigail clearly has a love for animals and knowledge about caring for dogs. We’re so grateful for her accommodating our last minute request and would highly recommend her to other potential clients.”
“Kayleigh was amazing with our two elderly griffons. One is especially fragile, with blindness and diabetes. Kayleigh went the extra mile to make sure her finicky needs were met so she would eat and get the insulin she needs. I can’t recommend her enough. She was kind, communicative and most of all, super caring to our two babies. Thank you, Kayleigh!!!”
“Achilles has stayed with Cathy before, so we felt comfortable leaving him with her. She treats the dogs in her care as if they were her own. This was a longer stay, but she kept us up-to-date with texts and photos. She had another dog staying at the same time, and they made friends, which I think helped a lot. It certainly made us feel better. We will definitely book with Cathy in the future when we need to.”
“Cheyanne was amazing! I had to find a last minute sitter for my senior dog because she was under the weather and couldn’t go to her typical boarder. In addition to being sick, my dog needs extra help doing some day to day things due to her age. Cheyanne was great and helped my dog feel safe in an unfamiliar environment.”

“My kitties love Billie Jo. Every pet parent has special things that they do for their animals. I try not to bog down my pet sitting instructions with every single one of those details, of the things that I do for them. However, my cats are pretty good about asking for what they want and directing people! And Billie Jo speaks and understands their language. She follows all the instructions that I leave and, in addition, the special little requests that the cats make for her… Like turning on the sink to give them a drink because they prefer that over their water bowl.”
“Amanda has watched our cats twice now when we’ve been out of town and I never have to worry about them because she’s always giving us detailed reports each time she visits so I know exactly what they’re doing!”
“I appreciate Meggie’s special care for my kitties so much ! We were able to travel without worries - she is reliable and communicates very well! She went above and beyond to ensure they were comfortable- I couldn’t ask for a better experience!!”
“It was great to be able to take a vacation and not worry about our beloved furball kitty. Tiffany was able to get a very timid Bella to let her pet and play with her, which is unusual. Tiffany also did a few other jobs for me which was so appreciated. I will definitely book her again for our next adventure...thanks Tiffany!!”
About: I loved animals ever since I was a kid and currently care for two rodents of my own named Orchid and Meadow. I often pet sit for my family and friends and have taken care of a wide variety of animals. I've taken care of pets of all ages from puppies and kittens to my senior dog who currently has from dementia. I am very patient and licensed CNA so I know how to handle a mess. My grandmother has two cats, which I have petsit for repeatedly and both have very different yet chaotic personalities that I love dearly.
“Kristen did a great job watching our cats! I really loved the updates and pictures while we were away. I’m a worrier and that helped me a lot. This was my first time hiring a pet sitter and I appreciate how she worked with me to get everything scheduled and figured out. I also appreciate how she agreed to do drop in visits during the first part of our trip, even though she had another job going on at the time. Our cats were taken care of, our house was safe, and she did her best to keep things tidy. :)”
About: I've been taking care of cats ever since I was 10 years old. I have owned three cats in my lifetime. I am experienced with various ages from kittens to elderly care with kidney problems. I do require a meet and greet before I would consider coming to your home to take care of your kitty or kitties.
“She is very reliable and communicative when she watched my 2 dogs for the 4th of July weekend. I am very appreciative to have found her and definitely recommend her to anyone needing a great dog sitter. Thank you Hannah!”
“Kodiak was the best! They were super reliable, sent us updates and photos every day, and took great care of our kitties. It was really nice not having to worry when we were gone! When we got home there was a handwritten card and toys left for our cats, that was such a thoughtful touch and honestly made our day. We’d absolutely rebook and would recommend them to anyone! :)”
“Robin was SO wonderful. I would trust her with my babies again any day! She was very open, caring, and treated my kitties as they were her own! She left the most detailed notes (can see the nurse shining through haha). She not only made sure my cats were well, had some play, were fed/watered, & were clean/brushed, but also she made sure they didn’t destroy my apartment & their boxes & pee pads stayed fresh. She even took the trash out and brought my old lady cat some senior food 😭😭 SOOO SWEET! Everything went smoothly as far as the booking, planning, meet & greet, etc. I missed my babies, but I did not stress about them once while gone! Thank you so much Robin!”
“Lara was great! She came to my home and checked in on my babies while I was on vacation. I received an update with pictures that I really appreciated. I would highly recommend her.”
“Olivia took care of our 4 cats while gone on a long vacation. She was very thorough and played with them to make them happy. She went the extra mile by bringing in mail, watering plants, and feeding my fish! My cats absolutely loved seeing her. 10/10 would recommend Olivia!”
About: I worked at a vet clinic for 2 years, walking, feeding, and watering the cats and dogs. My main task was to take care of and make sure the pets were comfortable. I have two large dogs of my own who are the craziest dogs ever, so I believe that I can take care of the craziest of pets. I am also an Animal Science major in college, so I have some knowledge on how to treat and take care of animals. Also, I have a passion for animals and will do anything to take care of them so they are happy. I believe that I am responsible and mature to be able to handle the most playful of pets. And one of my favorite past times is playing with my pets, so being able to play with any pet is something I strive to make fun. Pet care will fit in around my work schedule. I work everyday during the week until 4-5pm. I am available on most weekends and most weeknights if needed. I know the importance of taking care of someone's pet. They are your family member, like my dog is mine. Therefore, I will take care your pet to the best of standard.
About: I adore cats and have a strong understanding of their needs. I’m the parent of two elderly cats, so I’m very familiar with the extra care that comes with caring for senior pets. Administering medications, keeping litter boxes clean, and cleaning up after accidents are all things I’m comfortable with. I understand that every cat has their own personality and needs, and I’m happy to give them the patience, attention, and care they deserve.
About: If I had to describe myself, I'd say I'm a bit of a Disney princess—animals just seem to warm up to me. 😊 While I've never personally owned a cat, I've cared for cats from 20+ different families over the past 10 years, so I'm comfortable with all kinds of personalities, from the social "pet me immediately" type to the shy "I'll watch you from across the room for three days" type. I believe every cat deserves to be cared for on their terms. Whether that means sitting quietly while they decide if I'm trustworthy, playing with their favorite toy, sticking to a strict feeding routine, or simply making sure they have a calm, clean, stress-free environment while you're away, I'm happy to adapt to what makes them most comfortable. I know how important updates are when you're missing your pets, so I make it a point to send plenty of photos and messages so you can relax knowing they're happy, healthy, and well cared for. My goal isn't just to stop by and refill a food bowl—it's to make your cat feel as safe and comfortable as possible until you're home.
“Kyle is great! He was very communicative, sent updates, and took great care of our cat. She seems to like him, which gave us peace of mind. We’d definitely book with him again!”

“I booked with Taylor to watch my dog for a couple hours one morning. He has separation anxiety. She understands the needs for a dog with SA and was able to help manage his nerves while we were gone for some errands.”
“Amanda was great, we went and did a visit. The visit went very well and her dog was very friendly and has a large backyard to run in. Amanda was very informative about the daycare that is provided and she would send videos during the day if you wanted.”

“I cannot recommend Lona & Alan enough! They took such amazing care of my dogs. From the daily updates and photos to their attentive care, I felt completely at ease knowing they were in great hands. I will definitely be booking with them again in the future!”
About: Hi! I’m Hailey, a lifelong dog lover with years of experience caring for dogs of all ages and energy levels. I work from home, so I have plenty of flexibility to give your pets the attention, exercise, and companionship they need. I have experience with puppy training and am trained in dog CPR. As a former collegiate athlete, I’m also happy to keep up with even the most energetic pups! My priority is making sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re in my care. As someone who works from home, pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily routine. With the flexibility of my schedule, I have the privilege of being available for your pets throughout the day. This means I can provide them with the attention, care, and companionship they need. Whether it's feeding, exercise, playtime, or administering any necessary medications, I can be there to tend to their needs promptly. Additionally, I understand the importance of maintaining a consistent routine for pets, so I ensure that their feeding and exercise schedules align with their usual habits. Rest assured, your furry companions will receive dedicated care and supervision, as I am always present and ready to meet their needs. The way I care for pets in my home or a client's home depends on the specific service being provided. Here are a few scenarios: In the client's home: Pet Sitting: When providing pet sitting services at a client's home, I make sure to replicate the pet's daily routine as closely as possible. This includes feeding them according to their usual schedule, providing fresh water, cleaning litter boxes, taking dogs for walks, and engaging in playtime or exercise based on their specific needs. I also offer companionship and affection to help reduce any separation anxiety they may experience. Drop-in Visits: During drop-in visits, I visit the client's home at scheduled times to check on their pets. I ensure they have food and water, clean litter boxes, let dogs out for bathroom breaks, and spend quality time with them, offering play and affection. Dog Walking: For dog walking services, I take the dogs on stimulating walks to provide exercise, mental stimulation, and an opportunity for bathroom breaks. I follow any instructions regarding route preferences, leash handling, or specific behavioral considerations. Regardless of the service provided, the well-being, safety, and happiness of the pets are my top priorities. I strive to create a comfortable and nurturing environment, maintain their regular routines, and shower them with love and attention, just as their owners would.
About: My mom has been a trusted Rover sitter for several years now, so I grew up around this — it’s kind of in the blood. I’ve personally owned and cared for dogs, cats, birds, turtles, you name it, so I’m comfortable with just about any animal you bring my way. I have a large fenced backyard, a clean and pet-friendly home, and a very playful environment. Every stay includes treats, toys, and whatever adventures we can get into. I also have three dogs of my own — a Beagle, a Chihuahua, and a Shar-Pei — so your pet will always have company and will feel right at home within minutes. Your pet will be in good hands — I take it seriously and genuinely enjoy it.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was just 7 years old. My passion is caring for others. I know how to work with dogs with emotional and behavioral issues. I know how to handle dogs even big dogs that pull on the leash. I can help keep training consistent. I run a home daycare and help care for my mom and homeschool my autistic 16 yo son. So I have a lot of time, room and love to give your doggies. I do have a dog and 2 cats of my own that don't get along so I have to switch out their living room social time and will ensure your animals has some social time as well. I am able to care for 3 more dogs at a time. I have a large basement with an unfinished room that I put a baby gate up for the door and I have 2 kennels. If I have 3 dogs at once I will rotate the dogs out to make sure that one does not have to stay in a kennel too long. I will ensure your doggy always has food and water available and frequent bathroom breaks with plenty of love and social time. I have a semi big yard with a 20 foot tie down lead to ensure your dog has enough room to run around but won't get away. I also have a small plastic kiddie pool I fill up for the doggies to get in and enjoy!
“Clover has done day Carr with Rocio once before and this time like last she was a tired and happy pup after her visit! So appreciate the communication and photo updates! Thank you”
“Mackenzie was amazing, she took my booking last minute for my pup. Her dogs got along incredibly with mine. She will be who I move forward with, should I need someone to watch my pup. Highly recommend!”
“Melissa was fantastic!! Our boy Lando had a great time. When we dropped him off we could tell he would be in good hands. Melissa was even able to keep Lando a little while longer than originally planned on short notice. We would absolutely trust her to watch Lando again!!”
About: While this is my start of professional dog sitting, I’ve been watching family and friends’ pets for many years. I even fostered a dog with behavioral issues a couple of years ago. My dog is my whole world and any pet in my care gets the same attention. I WFH most days, going into the office for a half a day every Wednesday and 3 full days at the beginning of the month. My job doesn’t require me to be glued to my computer so I can be very flexible with my schedule most days. I have a fenced in backyard with plenty of space to runaround. For wet or cold days, I have a mostly empty finished basement for playing. For dogs that want daily walks, I live in a safe neighborhood where I walk my own dog multiple times a day.
About: I have had pets all my life from dogs and cats to gerbils, hamsters and fish. Even as a young child I was primarily responsible for most of the routine daily pet care. I'm a trained CNA with applicable caregiving skills. I also have extensive experience as a shelter volunteer having walked the dog and played with them as well as socializing the cats. I'm currently self employed as a home care aide and wish to take care of animals in between assignments or during days off. I do not have any responsibilities that would interfere with me taking care of your fur babies. I do not have a fenced in yard but I do have a yard stake. I live in a townhouse with an open grass backyard. I regularly take my dog to The Liberty, MO Stockdale dog park and can take yours there too if that's your preference. If you wish I can walk your dog as many times per day as you prefer. My neighborhood has paved sidewalks and walking paths that I routinely use to walk my dog daily. I have one cat and one dog and each get along with other cats and dogs very well but should there be any unforeseen issue, I can put your pet in my spare bedroom. I also own a wire dog crate for large dogs. I can crate your pet in your home or my home if you wish me to. I will take care of him or her in whichever way you prefer. I do not crate my dog but I did as a puppy to facilitate his potty training. My dog sleeps with me at night as does my cat sometimes. Both are friendly and well socialized but again, I can put either in a spare room or your pet if necessary. Both my pets are up to date on their vaccinations and they get a monthly pill for flea and tick prevention. I can do everything from long or short walks, taking them outside for potty breaks, administering food or medicine, playtime, etc.
About: I’ve had yorkie’s, dobie’s, lab’s, shepherd’s and schnauzer’s. My little Stevie passed away in April after 13 years together. She can’t be replaced so I’m looking to fill the void by caring for others while my heart mends. I have a lot of free time without a set schedule so there is always time to snuggle and play and go for walks together. I have a 4’ tall fenced yard with neighbors that have dogs too. I stay outside with the dogs and do not leave them alone. Dogs will have the run of my house and are allowed on the furniture and the beds too.
About: I’ve had dogs from a young age. Staying with me, they will get attention, love, play time and cuddles. They will also get to play with my dog Lexi. I work from home full time so I’m always here. I’m able to go outside and play with your pups or give them extra attention. I have a fenced in yard with locks on my gates. I have a doggie door and the back door is always open. I have a 5 year old pup that is very calming and caring. She has been great with other dogs. She is very nurturing and always makes sure those in her space are safe. I have a couple of stories I can provide about her. I am very hands on and constantly checking on my girl and will do the same for your furbaby. Safety is very important to me, not only for your furbaby but for myself and my furbaby as well.
“Misti was so wonderful and so sweet to our puppy! She took great care of him while we had an event and was very flexible with pick up and drop off times. We will definitely use her again in the future!”
About: One of the things that sets me apart is my firsthand experience caring for high-energy, intelligent breeds. I have two Huskies and a Samoyed, so I’m very familiar with the exercise, structure, and attention these dogs need to thrive. I understand that active breeds aren’t just looking for a quick potty break—they need engagement, mental stimulation, and plenty of activity. Because I care for three dogs every day, I’m comfortable managing multiple pets, maintaining routines, and recognizing when a dog needs extra attention or a little more space. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, or simply relaxing with company, I’ll make sure they receive personalized care based on their personality and your preferences. I’m dependable, organized, and know how important communication is when you’re away from your pet. I’ll provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your dog is safe, happy, and being treated like one of my own. My goal is simple: to provide the same level of care, patience, and attention that I give my own Huskies and Samoyed every single day. Pet care is my full time focus, so your pet will receive plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship throughout the day. I’m available for boarding, daycare, drop-in visits, and walks on both weekdays and weekends, and I can accommodate early mornings, evenings, and many last-minute requests. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know how your pet is doing. Your pet will be welcomed into a home with years of experience caring for active, large-breed dogs. I currently have two Huskies and a Samoyed, so I’m comfortable with high-energy dogs, different personalities, and maintaining consistent routines. I have a securely fenced yard, closely supervise all playtime, and can separate dogs if needed to ensure everyone stays safe and comfortable. I follow each pet’s feeding schedule, medication instructions, and any special care requests, treating every dog like one of my own.
“She is amazing and my puppy loves to see her!! She is ready to watch your pup and knows when your in a hurry to get to your next stop. If you want your pup to get the best care she is excellent!!!”

“Billie Jo is amazing! We have a temperamental rescue and she was fantastic with him. Knew exactly how to handle him and when not to push. It made me feel at ease knowing our pup was taken care of while we weren’t home.”
About: I loved animals ever since I was a kid and raised and trained my dog Zephyr since he was a year old. I adore all animals care for two rodents of my own named Orchid and Meadow. I often petsit for my family and friends and have taken care of a wide variety of animals. I've taken care of pets of all ages from puppies to my senior dog who currently has from dementia. I am very patient and licensed CNA so I know how to handle a mess. I am a freshman in college though my classes are very light. I'm free after 9am on Mondays and Wednesdays, Tuesdays and Thursdays I'm free after 12:15 though I can come in earlier anytime before 9, Fridays can vary for me but I'm typically free after 9-10 am though sometimes if I have an exam it might be an hour or so later though I can always make arrangements if necessary. I care for pets by following their routine, spending lots of time with them, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m respectful of my client's homes and always clean up after the pets and leave everything as I found it. I After a procedure my dog needed to be crate trained so I know how to handle that.
“Abigail was simply amazing with the dogs! She was very good with them, send frequent updates when she walked them, including pictures! You could see the happiness in their faces, and that they were enjoying their time with Abigail. It was a huge relief to know that they were being taken care of when I couldn't be there for them. I would recommend Abigail to anyone!”
About: I’ve had dogs all my life and it seemed the family dogs always gravitated toward me. I can’t imagine life without them! I’ve been caring for other’s dogs ever since I got my drivers license. The first dog I watched for a family (a beautiful Alaskan husky) had diabetes and required diabetic shots twice a day. Even though it hurt to have to give him shots, I loved having the opportunity to care for dogs other than my own. Since then I’ve had the opportunity of being the go-to dog watcher for several families with several different dog (and cat) breeds. I will make every effort to give your dog the same care that I was able to give Skyler and the rest of the dogs I’ve had the great fortune of watching and taking care of. There’s not many things that give me more joy than spending time with dogs. Now that I have more time on my hands in my 30’s I have recently gotten connected with volunteering with KC Pet Project. Dogs deserve all the love in the world. I currently work from home Monday and Friday so in addition to the weekend, it opens up availability to be present for the doggie. I’m in the office Tuesday - Thursday but available for morning/evening and quick bathroom breaks over lunch. I have a fenced in backyard and ample space inside the house to make your dog comfortable. I can crate if needed, but also have rooms that can function as “dog” rooms for the periods when I need to leave the house. I have my own Belgian Malinois, who mostly does her own thing. :)
About: I have hands on, everyday experience caring for four Golden Retrievers of my own. Managing a multi dog household has given me skills in canine schedule structure, supervision, and understanding of different personalities and energy levels. I also have experience caring for infant puppies, including feeding schedules, potty training foundations, crate introduction, and the patience that can sometimes be needed during those important early development stages. I’m comfortable maintaining routines, reinforcing basic training, and providing both high-energy play and calm, attentive care. Your pet will be treated like part of my family: safe, loved, and well cared for! I work remotely full time, so I am very flexible and am able to meet you and your schedule requests, whether it be for in-home visits, walk outing, or overnight stays. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I follow all feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise routines, and any specific instructions closely to make sure your pet feels comfortable and secure in their familiar environment. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, and affection while also reinforcing any training or household rules you have in place. I’m respectful of your home, keep everything clean and organized, and always send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.
“Michaela has been walking my dogs twice a week since November. She is always on time, my dogs wait for her every day! Every day! They love Michaela, returning home exhausted and happy. She even cleans their muddy paws when they come home! Perfect dog walker.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my entire life and have done pet sitting jobs for close friends and family. I have a passion for animal wellness and I worked in the veterinary industry as a vet assistant on and off for the past 5 years!! I’m good at handling high energy dogs, geriatric dogs, small and large breeds, and so on! I’m currently completing my masters degree in Applied Bioscience in Animal Health online! I also work part-time so I have a very flexible schedule. We can definitely work something out! At home, I care for 5 dogs and 1 cat. So, alongside my veterinary experience, I know the ins and outs of what dogs do and don’t like. At home visits and dog walking services will be up to the owners specifications!

Here are a few scenarios: In the client's home: Pet Sitting: When providing pet sitting services at a client's home, I make sure to replicate the pet's daily routine as closely as possible. This includes feeding them according to their usual schedule, providing fresh water, cleaning litter boxes, taking dogs for walks, and engaging in playtime or exercise based on their specific needs. I also offer companionship and affection to help reduce any separation anxiety they may experience. Drop-in Visits: During drop-in visits, I visit the client's home at scheduled times to check on their pets. I ensure they have food and water, clean litter boxes, let dogs out for bathroom breaks, and spend quality time with them, offering play and affection. Dog Walking: For dog walking services, I take the dogs on stimulating walks to provide exercise, mental stimulation, and an opportunity for bathroom breaks. I follow any instructions regarding route preferences, leash handling, or specific behavioral considerations. Regardless of the service provided, the well-being, safety, and happiness of the pets are my top priorities. I strive to create a comfortable and nurturing environment, maintain their regular routines, and shower them with love and attention, just as their owners would.
About: I love animals—all of them. I've had animals in my home since I was born, including dogs, cats, lizards, guinea pigs, and more. Over the years, I've gained a lot of experience caring for different kinds of animals, and I've found that understanding them comes naturally to me. Animal body language and communication are things I pick up on easily, which helps me recognize when a pet is comfortable, nervous, excited, or needs something. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, but first and foremost, my priority is making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I'll keep you updated on your pet's status to ensure you have comfort knowing someone is keeping a watchful eye over them. Currently, I'm unemployed as I'm awaiting openings in an electrical program I'd like to get into, so I have more than enough time to take care of whatever needs you may have! When caring for a pet in their home, I make their safety and comfort my top priorities. I follow the owner's instructions and routines as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, medication, playtime, and any other specific needs. I also make sure doors, gates, and other potential escape routes are secure, and I pay close attention to the pet's behavior and body language so I can recognize when they are stressed, uncomfortable, or need space. I treat every home with the same care and respect that I would want for my own.
About: I grew up on a farm with many types of animals and hard work. I have worked in veterinary clinics as a kennel attendant and now a veterinary assistant for over 10 years. I have experience with dogs, cats, and exotic pets. I'm comfortable caring for elderly and sick pets as well as giving medications. I live and work in the Liberty MO area. I am an early morning person and can do early morning drop in visits and walks before 7 am (including weekends and holidays). I typically get my lunch break between 12-2 pm. I can come and do a drop in visit or do a short walk over my break. Evenings are a possibility but are less flexible and open. I can offer enrichment with treats, playtime and exercise. I like a good cuddle session as well as a hyper wrestling match, or active fetch game. I enjoy being out in God's creation and am open to more nature based walks if you have an active curious pup (like my own dog). I think cats should also be enriched and loved. I like playing games with cats and helping them feel comfortable and spoiled. I have owned a lizard of my own and am not afraid of reptiles or rodents. I think exotic pets need enrichment, entertainment, and love as well.
About: I work with animals for a living every day and have a passion for them and the care they need, no matter the temperment or personality. I grew up around large dogs, small dogs, cats, and exotics. My love for animals always comes first. I have over 3 years as an exotic animal care manager, 3 years as a Salon Stylist, and have my certification as a Pet Trainer. I always work to improve my skills and with open communication I hope to bring you the best of care for your little family member. I work with animals on the daily but always have time to work in my schedule. As long as there is communication there are never any issues. l live in a beautiful area, but no matter what, I have training for any situation. I have a background of handling multiple situations in different sceneries. I have cared for animals from the northeast, all the way down southwest.
About: Growing up I always had some sort of pet whether that be my bearded dragon, leopard gecko, cats, dogs, birds, all of it. I recently lost my disabled kitty but he taught me lots about medication administration, accessibility, and so many more things that are needed when working with a disabled or any kind of medical condition in pets. I now have a kitten and thankfully my childhood dog is still alive which I’m very grateful for. I’d love to spend time with your babies too! I live in Columbia because my boyfriend goes to Mizzou, but I currently am not working anywhere, so I can help you out anytime, anywhere:) I am very careful when it comes to pet safety. Like mentioned earlier my baby, Theo, is disabled as well as special needs. He takes medication and has to have certain accommodations around the apartment just for him. Making sure he is safe is a big priority as well as a big priority for your pet too!
About: I’ve always had a dog and multiple cats at home and have several years of experience with different dogs and cats! I also have been a dog/cat sitter and walker for several friends and family since I’ve been old enough to drive! I love all dogs and cats and enjoy spending time with them! I am currently a nurse associate and work 2/3 12 hour shifts a week but the other days I am totally free. I am an early riser and am willing to walk or take care of your animals early in the morning! I have a decent sized backyard and many trails around my house to walk dogs! I do have 2 cats at home but they are friendly with dogs!
About: I worked at a vet clinic for 2 years, walking, feeding, and watering the cats and dogs. My main task was to take care of and make sure the pets were comfortable. I have two large dogs of my own who are the craziest dogs ever, so I believe that I can take care of the craziest of pets. I am also an Animal Science major in college, so I have some knowledge on how to treat and take care of animals. Also, I have a passion for animals and will do anything to take care of them so they are happy. I believe that I am responsible and mature to be able to handle the most playful of pets. And one of my favorite past times is playing with my pets, so being able to play with any pet is something I strive to make fun. Pet care will fit in around my work schedule. I work everyday during the week until 4-5pm. I am available on most weekends and most weeknights if needed. I know the importance of taking care of someone's pet. They are your family member, like my dog is mine. Therefore, I will take care your pet to the best of standard.

“Ashley was amazing! I had a sudden family emergency and she took such great care of my dog. She was very responsive, sent lots of cute pictures and updates, and was flexible when I had to extend my trip by a day. She also sent my pup home with a paw print with her name on it, which was super cute. I would definitely book with Ashley again!”

About: I ran a licensed daycare for children for 5 years, caring for 10 human toddlers at a time. I can definitely handle your schmoochie-poo. Plus, Zamboni is a great co-host! As a mom, I’m home when my kids are — which means I’m around most afternoons, evenings, and weekends. My office hours are limited, so someone is almost always here to give your pet attention, routine, and care. Whether it's a walk after school or weekend playtime, we’ve got room in our hearts and our home. I don’t have a fenced yard, but I make up for it with plenty of leashed walks and close supervision. I live near Stocksdale Park, which gives your pup a safe and scenic place to stretch their legs, sniff around, and burn off energy. My home is calm, kid-friendly, and full of love. Whether your dog loves playtime or prefers a cozy nap spot, they’ll be safe, happy, and well cared for here.
“Christine was fantastic with our dog and communicated very well with frequent updates and availability. She was also gracious when we had to extend the pickup time. Highly recommend!”
“Leslie took such good care of our pup. He had never been away from home before so this was so out of his comfort zone but she took such good care of him. Would love for her to be one go-to dog sitter.”
“Laurie was so welcoming to our Jojo, and although this first visit was somewhat stressful to our girl, Laurie continued to yry to make her comfortable. We're so appreciative of all the communication and helpful ideas for future visits. The pictures helped ease our stress as well. Definitely will be seeing Laurie again!”
“Abigail was amazing! We needed a last minute dog sitter. She was super quick to respond and was glad to help. We were gone for a couple days. She was very communicative, sending us updates and photos throughout. Abigail clearly has a love for animals and knowledge about caring for dogs. We’re so grateful for her accommodating our last minute request and would highly recommend her to other potential clients.”
“Achilles has stayed with Cathy before, so we felt comfortable leaving him with her. She treats the dogs in her care as if they were her own. This was a longer stay, but she kept us up-to-date with texts and photos. She had another dog staying at the same time, and they made friends, which I think helped a lot. It certainly made us feel better. We will definitely book with Cathy in the future when we need to.”
“Cheyanne was amazing! I had to find a last minute sitter for my senior dog because she was under the weather and couldn’t go to her typical boarder. In addition to being sick, my dog needs extra help doing some day to day things due to her age. Cheyanne was great and helped my dog feel safe in an unfamiliar environment.”
“Bandit was so happy and calm when I picked him up. It was very clear he was comfortable and well taken care of! She took him on several walks and sent many pictures. He was a HAPPY BOY!!”
“They were the best! Our Charlie doodle gets nervous easily and he warmed right up to them. They sent pics and loved our pup while we were away! We will definitely be using them in the future.”
“Rachel was amazing! She was very communicative and was graciously flexible with my travel schedule. The dogs loved her and had an amazing time! Will definitely use her again in the future. No concerns whatsoever.”
“Madelyn and her husband did an excellent job looking after our dog. Madelyn sent frequent updates with photos and videos each day. It was easy to tell Madelyn provided great care and love to our dog. Highly recommended!”
