“I loved all the updates and photos I received! He was more than accommodating and did a wonderful job taking care of my kitten! I will definitely be using him in the future!”

About: My experience with animals is over 15 years. From walking/ feeding and watering/ playing fetch/ to giving medicine when needed. Your babies from young to old are given the best in my care. I'm a stay at home mom so I have plenty of time to care for your babies! The town I live is small and quiet so your pup should be extra cozy here. I have a cozy shaded (with plenty of room to move about) pen where your pup will stay when I'm not supervising them in the big fenced yard or talking walks.

“Cheyenne was very flexible with my schedule. I was on vacation and we were going floating. On the day Cheyenne was supposed to watch my dog, the river was swollen and dangerous to float. She went above and beyond to accommodate for the situation. She was prompt on pickup and drop off, communicated effectively and overall a sweet girl”

About: I’ve had my own pets from a young age, getting my own shortly after college. Looking to give Salem MO some options for drop in visits. I will typically be available after work to visit, feed, and play with your beloved pets. I will get off work around 4 pm daily. I will gladly meet your pet need requirements. I have experience with giving meds and special diets and of course giving all the loving attention.
About: Hi! I’m Landree, and caring for animals has been my passion for as long as I can remember. I started training horses at 10 years old, began working with exotic animals at 16, attended my first professional dog training course in 2021, and completed another in 2022. My goal is to create a place where every dog feels like they’re on vacation while you’re away. I live in St. James, Missouri, on 7 beautiful acres with a secure fenced yard for safe play and plenty of open fields for supervised walks and exercise. Our property also has a large pond. While it isn’t fenced, dogs are never allowed near it without direct supervision, and if you’d rather your pup avoid the pond completely, I’m happy to accommodate that. I work from home, so your dog will receive lots of attention, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. Pets are welcome to relax and roam freely in the house while I’m home. If I ever need to step out for errands, they’ll stay safely in a dog-proof room or a crate, depending on what they’re most comfortable with and what you prefer. I also have both stairs and a ramp leading into the house to help accommodate senior dogs and those with mobility needs. For added convenience, I offer transportation to and from your home for boarding clients. I’m currently working toward opening my dream pet resort, where dogs can enjoy a fun, enriching, and safe stay every time they visit. Until then, I’m excited to welcome your furry family member into my home and care for them as if they were my own. Caring for dogs is my full-time job, not a side hobby, so your pet’s care is my top priority throughout the day. My daily routine is built around providing frequent potty breaks, supervised outdoor play, enrichment activities, and plenty of one-on-one attention. During the summer, we enjoy the cooler parts of the day outside and spend the hottest hours relaxing indoors in the air conditioning before heading back out for more fun in the evening. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to follow your dog’s normal feeding times, medication schedule, exercise needs, and preferred routine. Whether your pup is full of energy and loves to play or prefers a quieter day filled with naps and cuddles, I’ll tailor their stay to help them feel safe, comfortable, and at home. Because pet care is my full-time profession, your dog won’t simply be checked on throughout the day—they’ll receive consistent supervision, personalized care, and the love and attention they deserve. When your pet stays with me, they become part of the family. I take the time to learn each dog’s routine, personality, and individual needs so I can provide care that’s as close to home as possible. Whether your dog is playful and energetic, shy and reserved, or a senior who prefers a slower pace, I’ll adjust their day to keep them happy and comfortable. Dogs receive frequent potty breaks, supervised outdoor play, enrichment activities, plenty of fresh water, and lots of love and attention throughout the day. They are welcome to relax inside the house with me, and during the hottest parts of the day we cool off indoors in the air conditioning. If I ever need to leave for a short time, dogs are safely housed in a dog-proof room or a crate based on your preference and what your dog is most comfortable with. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and any special needs. Safety is always my highest priority, and every outdoor activity is supervised to ensure your dog has a fun, safe, and stress-free stay.

About: I have had pets my entire life, primarily cats as well as a few dogs. I currently have a dog and cat, so taking care of either is second nature. I have also had two cats at one time and understand the nature of multi-cat households. I have pet sat many times for friends and family. These include homes with multiple dogs, multiple cats, a mix, and even a snake. Reptiles and rodents don't bother me! These experiences have also included long-term stay (1 week+) and animals with additional care needs (senior, diabetic with necessary insulin injections at meals). I am currently in vet tech school so I know what to look for to keep your pets safe! I also have experience volunteering in shelters with many animals of different temperaments.
“Darin was amazing! He took care of our two cats while we were away for Christmas and they absolutely loved him. He made sure to send lots of photos during his visits and also made sure to play with our one very high energy cat. If we weren’t leaving St. Louis we would definitely book him again!”

About: I grew up in a family where animals weren’t just pets—they were part of our daily life and the heartbeat of our home. Over the years, we cared for everything from cats and dogs to horses, cattle, and chickens. There has never been a moment in my life without at least one dog or cat by my side. That lifelong connection turned into a genuine passion for animal care. Because of that, I’m working toward opening my own boarding facility—one that will not only care for family pets, but will also take in strays and rescues who need a safe place to land. Using this app is my first step in that journey. I’m here to: build meaningful relationships with pets and their owners gain hands-on experience with a variety of animals and personalities earn supplemental income to invest directly into the boarding and rescue facility establish a future client base built on trust, reliability, and genuine care Your pets will be treated like they’re part of my family—because caring for animals is something I’ve done my entire life, and something I take pride in doing well. Pet care is a major part of my everyday life. I recently left my full-time job so I could dedicate myself fully to working with animals and building my future boarding and rescue facility. That means I’m able to structure my days entirely around pet care — not squeeze it in between shifts or treat it like a side task. Every week, my schedule is centered on drop-ins, walks, feedings, playtime, and enrichment. I set aside dedicated time each day specifically for pet visits, check-ins, updates, and keeping each pet’s routine consistent. Because this is my full focus now, I’m able to be flexible, reliable, and fully present with every animal I care for. Whether it’s a single visit or multiple pets throughout the week, your pet becomes part of my daily rhythm — and they’ll always get calm, attentive, and consistent care. How I Care for Pets in My Home and in Clients’ Homes My goal is always to keep pets safe, comfortable, and on the same routine they’re used to. Whether I’m caring for your pets in your home or mine, I make sure they get calm, consistent attention and all the essentials they need. In Your Home: When I’m caring for pets in their own environment, I follow your instructions exactly so their routine stays steady. Here’s what you can expect: • Fresh food and water on your preferred schedule • Clean litter boxes or outdoor potty breaks • Daily enrichment, playtime, and companionship • Respect for your home, your space, and your pet’s boundaries • Clear communication and photo updates every visit • Extra patience for shy, anxious, or rescue pets • Medication or special care needs handled as instructed I make sure everything stays clean, calm, and familiar — which helps pets feel secure while you’re away. In My Home (if applicable): In my home, pets get a safe, supervised environment with plenty of love and structure. They receive: • A quiet, calm space to relax • Regular feeding times and fresh water • Enrichment toys, cozy bedding, and comfortable hangout spots • Supervised play and attention based on their personality • Respect for crate routines or safe spaces if they prefer them I keep their environment low-stress and easy to settle into. Overall Care Approach: No matter where your pet is staying, I treat them like one of my own — with patience, consistency, and the kind of care that prioritizes their comfort and happiness. I tailor my approach to each pet’s personality, energy level, and needs so they feel understood and well cared for.

About: I’ve owned and taken care of pets for years! I would love to take the weight off of your shoulders and help you with you pets! I am currently at home full time so I have all the time to take care of your furry friends! Sunday through Saturday I’ve got you covered! I have a fenced in yard and a walking trail very close by to take everyone on walks or runs and 2 furry friends of my own to keep company and play!
About: Hey there! I've been around animals and providing care since my early childhood. My love for animals lead to several years of experience working in the veterinary field, even to the point of Veterinary College until my family expanded. My background has helped provide training that allows me to provide professional and specialized care for a variety of pets. I am comfortable with giving medications, etc. so you don't have to worry about your pets getting the custom care they need. I am happy to accommodate for special requests when possible to help you and your pets feel comfortable. I am currently working from home (mostly as a stay at home mother) so I will have plenty of time to give supervised care to your pets. My goal is to make them feel as loved and cared for in my home as they do in yours. I have a fenced in yard as well as lot of indoor space. I have two cats of my own that roam freely in my home. There are mulitiple rooms, baby gates, and a large basement area if pets need to be separated for any reason.

About: I was raised with lots of puppies and other animals. I have two fur babies now, Oakley and Remi! I would love to visit your babies and keep them company while you are away from them. I work full time but have a couple days off a week on a rotating schedule. I am willing to travel and make our schedules work together as best as possible. Leaving your pets is very difficult but I would love to be able to help ease your worries! I am responsible and trustworthy. You would not have to worry about the job not getting done.
About: I have experience volunteering with all kinds of animals and love them dearly! Back home, we have 4 family dogs which I've helped to train since they were just puppies. I love dogs of all ages and can't wait to treat your pup like family. I choose my own work and school schedule to ensure the most time spent with your pet! I am happy to provide potty breaks, extra feedings, or oral medications if necessary. I also would love to take your dog on walks! I have a dog, but she stays at home with her dog dad when I petsit. Safety is my top priority. I am careful to leave doors closed and locked, and to ensure harnesses are carefully put on to make sure your pup is secure.

About: I’ve taken care of and raised dogs since I was young. From family pets to pack type dogs on farms that I worked with. I walk and play with my dog River a ton everyday. We typically walk 2-4 miles a day if the weather is nice. He is wonderful with other dogs and has tons of friends, from puppies to older dogs. I have plenty of crate training and on leash experience. I can also separate the animals easily without crates if needed. I am currently available for full time pet care. Let me know what works best for you. Weekends are usually the easiest for me, but no preference overall. Scheduling further in advance is preferred but not necessary. I’m typically up and walking my dog by 7:30 am so any routine or communication works fine with me. Typically I wake up and let the dogs outside immediately. Then play a little, then it’s breakfast time according to the dogs’ feeding schedule. After breakfast I usually relax and pet the dogs awhile before taking them on a walk that’s best suited for them. I also have a nice fenced in yard for them.
