Cat Sitting in Van Cleve

“She did amazing with my fur babies! 10/10 would book again!”

Brooklyn T.

“Ashley was great! She gave the friendly cat lots of attention, and she made an incredible effort to keep track of the one that wouldn’t come out. Her updates and pictures made me feel comfortable being away from my cats. I really appreciated the care she gave to them.”

About: I’ve had a deep love for animals since I was a kid, and I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 7 years old. My first dog was a beloved member of our family for 12 wonderful years, and since then we have welcomed three more pups into our lives. One of them is my own, Nala, a pitbull mix who is truly my entire world. I have experience with dogs of all ages, including geriatric dogs and those needing regular medication. In addition to dogs, I’ve had rabbits since I was 11. My current bunny, Minnette, will be 14 this August after losing her bonded partner in 2021. I’ve also regularly cat sat for friends and family and am comfortable with feline care. Over the years I’ve rescued many dogs and volunteered at the Animal Protective Association, also known as APA, in St. Louis where I gained hands-on experience with a wide variety of breeds and temperaments. I have a particular interest in dog body language and behavior. I love learning how to make animals feel safe, understood, and happy. Whether your pet is playful, shy, elderly, or energetic, I will be attentive to their unique needs and treat them like family. I just graduated college at Mizzou, and am taking a gap year before I begin graduate school next fall! This means I have plenty of time and my schedule is wide open to care for your pets. <3 I have always been an avid animal lover-- not even just dogs, but all sorts of pets! I have had my bunny since she was 1 year old and I was 11, and she is now about to turn 14 next month! I have also had dogs since I was 7 years old! I grew up with my childhood dog, Louie for 12 years. Now, I have my own dog, Nala. I have had her for about 3 years now, and I consider myself to be a helicopter parent (ask anyone haha)! With that being said, I am ALWAYS paying attention to details, instructions, and am very vigilant about making sure your pet is getting everything they need. As I do with my own pets, I will give that same attention and dedication to yours!

“Cathy will love your pet (s) like her own. She took time to brush my boys during the drop in. Gus and Eli say 5 ⭐️ for Miss Cathy!”

“They were very good with my fur babies and sent me lots of pictures! Will definitely use them again.”

Christina J.

“Megan kept our cat, Stephen, happy and well fed. She dropped in every day to check on him and give him attention. Everything was in great shape when we returned and Stephen was not distressed that we were out of town for several days. I would definitely hire Megan if we are away from home again.”

Deborah C.

“Took great care of my baby!”

Jessie D.

“Really great, our cats enjoyed her. We will definitely be rebooking in the future”

About: Lifelong animal fan and pet owner! As the daughter of a veterinarian I grew up caring for pets of all kinds, including providing medical care and administering medications. I currently work remotely from home with a flexible schedule to accommodate drop ins and walks! My own small pup Griffin will remain at home while I visit. Safe, reliable, and dependable. Will happily care for your pet in your home and follow instructions set out to make them most comfortable and accommodated!

“Sydney was great! She stopped in to check on them, let them out and even cleaned their muddy feet. I didnt have to worry about them being cared for! Highly recommend 😊”

“James did a fantastic job watching our cats for us. He clearly loves animals. He was on time and sent us pictures and updates. Will definitely use him in the future!”

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, daily eye drops, 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. I am currently not working and doing school online! This allows me to have a very flexible schedule so I am able to accept same day requests! I live with my partner so he is able to care for our pets while I am away. Because I have pets of my own, I don't currently accept jobs that would require me to keep them in my home. As such, I am more than happy to stay with your pets the entire time you are away (unless we discuss any time I may have preplanned events). I would stay the night with them if you are gone overnight so we don't have any accidents or stress! I would do my best to uphold any schedule you already have in place (ie feeding, walks, medicine, bedtime).

About: I love all animals and can’t wait to hear about or meet your furry family member . Allow me to look after your beloved pets, plants, home and many other things. If you need to be out of town or just need a little extra help with a high energy pet. Check my schedule and see if my services align with what you’re looking for. I have a few furry felines and dogs that I already help take care of.. I have cared for small to medium size dogs in the past and grew up with a house full of pets. 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. I can be flexible on scheduling and accommodations. Such as pick up/drop off, boarding, full day care, in home care, walks, vet visits and much more. Please be considerate of my time and cancellations and I will do the same respect. Thank you so much! I can’t think of any thing more wonderfully rewarding than to help you care for your furry loved ones. I currently am only caring for a few furry felines and small/medium dogs for close family. I’m looking to expand and see the rest of MidMo and its pet lovers community. Thank you for all your consideration and shares! Fenced in yard. Single room with twin bed for single or multi pets of same family Pet owner provides: Food Medications Optional items: Blankets Toys Treats Care and exercise needs can be discussed and evaluated further upon request. Each pet is different in what care they need. There are many energy levels and temperaments to keep aware of.

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was little! I grew up on a farm & then during college I worked for a dog training facility & cared for many dogs there as well! I work weekdays with some exceptions on the weekends. My calendar of availability is updated everyday. Please do not book out longer than a month from the current date without messaging me first. I have a dog of my own! She’s super friendly. But I won’t be bringing her with me on calls unless talked about with you first!

About: Hello there! I am a lifelong animal love with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all shapes, breeds, sizes and personalities. Whether its energetic puppies, timid rescues, or senior dogs needing a slower pace, I take pride in providing care that is catered towards your dog's specific needs. I have grown up around dogs ranging from smaller dogs like Yorkies and Pomeranians, to larger dogs like Golden Retrievers and Huskys. I also understand the importance of building trust with animals and their owners included. I treat every pet like family! Whether it's a walk around the block or overnight sitting, I make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved. I stick to your routine, provide regular updates, and always go the extra mile. These are your furbabies and I intend to treat them as such. I am currently not working and have plenty of time to dedicate to caring for your fur babies. I am a good communicator and can keep in close contact with you as well. I am not offering pet services out of my home at this time. However I am more than happy to come to you to give your pets the care they need.

About: I love animals of all sizes, I am a certified dog groomer and have had past experience working in a vet care facility taking care of animals for 5 years. I am familiar with all ages from puppy's to elders and special needs cats and dogs are welcomed. I am also able to give your pet medications if they have any. No dog would go unloved and would be given all the attention he/she could want. Animal care is my top priority and your loved ones will always be safe with me. I have experience with every breed and any temperament. I'm trying to make pet care my full time job, so I have an open schedule 7 days a week to accommodate your pets needs. Care would take place in the client's home, lots of play time and following owners instructions for what they would like if they have any.

“Caitlin was wonderful! She came by to meet our 5 cats the same day that she agreed to the booking and was so patient and receptive to each of our animals needs. She took time with them and gave them space to let them come to her and we were pleasantly surprised at how friendly everyone was with her and how comfortable they seemed around her. During the visit she sent pictures and went above and beyond the care instructions, washing the dishes used for their meals, replacing our tissues, and leaving the house better than when we left. She communicated throughout the entire process and made us feel safe in leaving our felines and our home in her hands.”
