House Sitting Waldron

“Shantanice sent updates and photos and took great care of the pups. She left everything clean and we were able to rest easy knowing they were taken care of.”

About: Since I was a kid, I've been surrounded by pets. My dogs have been my buddies, showing me the ropes of training and taking care of furry pals. And you bet, I've also chilled with plenty of cool cats along the way. Whether it's dogs or cats, I've got the experience and love to keep them happy and well-cared for. Pet care fits seamlessly into my schedule and routine. I've tailored my commitments to ensure that I'm never away from home for more than three hours at a stretch, giving your furry friend the attention and care they deserve. With my wife working from home three days a week, there's always someone around to keep our pup company. And on weekends, we make it a priority to spend quality time together, cuddling with our pup and exploring the great outdoors with walks in the park. At home or at clients' places, pets get personalized care. We're lucky to have a private dog park nearby for playtime. Also, safe trails offer scenic walks. Plus, our pet spa ensures comfortable baths for a relaxing experience.

“Michael was wonderful! He took excellent care of Duchess over Labor Day and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. He was reliable, communicative, and attentive to her needs. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for cat. I would absolutely book with Michael again and highly recommend him!”

About: Recently graduated from Mizzou, I have spent the last 2 years helping to care for our house pets, including two cats and one dog. I worked to feed, walk, and engage with my pets during this period. Prior to this, I lived and cared for many animals back in my hometown: 3 dogs, 2 guinea pigs, 2 parrots, and a turtle. Because of this, I deliver versatile care, and understand that every pet has its own unique needs! I work 2 part time jobs, both in healthcare, where my hours are stacked on certain days of the week. This gives me flexibility to help care for your pets! Though each week can be a little different, I have my schedule set throughout the summer and can plan far ahead! I have such a big heart for animals! I love giving them attention and care above and beyond what's expected. I prefer to do this in a house sitting situation due to having 5 other roomates with animals here, but I have a car and am willing to do overnights!

“Kira was great to house sit for us - she took great care of our dog (who takes a little bit to warm up to new people) and was communicative and kept everything in great shape!”

“Briley was amazing. She was conscientious with our senior dog and coaxed him into taking his many pills. Our little rescue who doesn’t like most people let her guard down with Briley and made a new friend! She followed all our instructions to a T and we will hopefully be having her back soon!”

About: I have many years of experience working with animals. I also have a BS in Rehabilitation Services Education. I am a foster for several rescues in the KC and Springfield area. I love all animals and will take great care of yours! I am available any time. Set up your date and times at least three days in advance, cancellations three days in advance as well. Thanks. I am able to provide care in your home overnight or during the day. Whatever your pet needs are, I will be there for them.

“Erika was amazing with our senior dog. She followed all directions and kept us updated frequently. Our a/c even went out while we were away and Erika helped us troubleshoot. We will absolutely rebook!”

Elena T.

“Aidan was absolutely wonderful and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. He was incredibly attentive, followed all of our instructions to a T, communicated consistently, and sent great updates throughout our trip. He even went above and beyond by helping with cleaning and light housekeeping while we were gone. Most importantly, our dogs absolutely loved him and clearly felt safe and comfortable with him. They normally don’t eat well when we’re away, but they had no problem eating while Aidan was here, which says a lot about how comfortable he made them feel. We typically find ourselves checking in on our cameras occasionally when we travel, but with Aidan, we felt so comfortable and confident that our dogs were in good hands that we genuinely didn’t feel the need to. We were able to fully enjoy our time away knowing they were being cared for and loved. We would absolutely book Aidan again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their pets and home.”

About: Nice to meet you, I'm Kat! I have been working in the pet industry since early 2019 - beginning as a kennel attendant, evolving into a professional dog trainer in two prominent KC training facilities, and now running my own small business. I am thoroughly versed in canine care and communication, and use my expertise to help every dog I care for have a comfortable and positive experience. Not only that, but I am also very knowledgeable in canine enrichment and stimulation. Have a high-energy, high-needs breed? They'll end their days with me happy and tired. A senior dog that has special needs and benefits from therapeutic stretches? Say no more. Puppies are absolutely welcome as well, and I would love to provide them with opportunities to practice socialization, confidence building, and manners. My experience also means that I am able to care for dogs with behavioural issues and special health needs. I know it can be difficult to find care for dogs with "quirks," and I hope to make that search a little easier. Send me a message and we can chat about your dog and if I would be a good fit. I'm looking forward to meeting your pup! ** I do have a part-time job that takes up much of my time on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. This doesn't mean that I'm totally unavailable those days, but we'll need to chat to make sure that my schedule works for your pet. 🙂 The pets I work with are my priority! I want to make sure that my schedule allows me to look after your furry family members' needs. I do work long hours on weekends - but sometimes this can be flexible. We'll have a thorough chat before you book to make sure that your pets will get all of the attention they need and the love they deserve. Dogs, cats, and exotic pets are all welcome 🐶🐱🐍🐹🦜🐠 Your house, your rules! Before the booking, you & I will have a detailed conversation about your pets' schedule, rules, needs, and preferences. I am happy to follow all of that to a T! My job is to keep your pets happy and safe while you are away. With 7 years of pet care experience, I am confident in caring for all of their needs. This includes pets with behavioral concerns and special needs! For walks and other adventures, I will always keep your dog leashed and close to me. I love to take dogs out on excursions to parks, trails, and other such places, but I will always check with you first to make sure that we don't go somewhere your dog doesn't enjoy. Updates will be sent daily, as well as pictures and videos. I look forward to meeting your furry friends. (Scaled or feathered friends welcome, too!)

About: Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or overnight stays, your furry friend will receive all the love and attention they deserve. I prioritize safety and fun, ensuring your pet feels at home while you’re away. I’ve been taking care of pets for friends and neighbors ever since high school. This has included both dog walking and dog/cat sitting. I was also a nanny to both a toddler and two dogs so I am confident that I have the experience to ensure excellent care for every pet that I take on. Let’s connect and make your pet’s day brighter! I work from home Wednesday/Friday and other weekdays I typically get home from work around 2 pm. Weekends I am completely free. I am a homebody at heart so looking for some furry friends to keep me company or get me out for my daily walk/run! I am both a huge dog and cat lover! I live in an apartment in a very pet friendly building within a great walking neighborhood. I love taking dogs along for my morning run if they need to let out some extra energy. I have no pets of my own to worry about which is why I’m looking to give yours some extra love! Totally willing to accommodate any special request such as administering medicine, maintaining a training regimen, etc.

“Faye was terrific!”

“Wow! Allie went beyond the call. She sent photos, walked my dog each day, and my house was cleaned up when I got home! I cannot recommend Allie highly enough.”

About: I have loved animals for as long as I can remember, and caring for them is a true passion of mine. I live with my dog and two cats, so my home is already filled with plenty of love, pet-friendly energy, and experience across both canine and feline personalities. Whether your pet loves going on long outdoor walks, playing games in the yard, or just chilling out on the couch for some belly rubs, I treat every animal in my care as if they were my own. I live in a nice, quiet, pet-friendly area with easy access to neighborhood walking routes and dog parks for playtime. When you leave your pet with me, you can have complete peace of mind knowing they are in a safe, stable, warm, and loving environment with someone who is truly dedicated to their comfort and happiness. As a teacher, my schedule is predictable and routine, which means my evenings and weekends are wide open and completely dedicated to spending quality time with the pets in my care. Since I am home during those times, your pet will have constant companionship, structured routine, and plenty of attention when they need it most. Whether it's an evening stroll, a weekend trip to the dog park, or just relaxing on the couch together, my routine gives me plenty of dedicated focus for your furry family member. Safety, comfort, and keeping your home environment stable are my top priorities. Because I already have a dog and two cats, my preference is to care for your pets directly in their own home. Overnight in-home sitting or drop-in visits allow your furry family members to stay in their familiar, comfortable surroundings with their normal routines completely uninterrupted. I know how important a calm, safe environment is for pets, and staying in their own space eliminates the stress of introducing them to a new territory or other animals. Whenever I am on walks or taking your dog out to local trails or parks, safety remains paramount. I always keep pets securely leashed during outdoor transitions and supervise every outdoor interaction closely to ensure a safe, fun, and reliable experience.

“Kaitlyn was a joy to work with. She helped us when our 1st sitter canceled last minute and even rearranged her vacation to assist us with a meet and greet and then house & pet sit. Our dog Zeus loved her and his new pal Penny. Our kitty had some anxiety as expected from having another doggie friend but seemed fine when we got home. Kaitlyn was amazing as she came by a few days later to deliver our garage door opener. We’d definitely recommend her and will use her again in the future. Thank you Kaitlyn & Penny for taking such great care of our fur babies!”

Chloe G.

“Amazing, super communicative, and extremely accommodating. I would hire Paige again in a heartbeat”

Ruben W.

“Claire took care of my geriatric dogs who have eating issues. I believe that she was patient and tried any way to help them eat. She was here a full week and I came home to a clean house. We will use her again!”

Lisa C.

“Taylor did an amazing job watching our pups and house while we were gone. She was very communicative and helped us feel at ease while we were away! We will definitely use her again! Thanks Taylor ❤️”

Patricia B.

“Michelle W did an awesome job caring for our elderly pupper. She sent pics on their walks, gave him love & attention, fed him on our schedule, brought in our mail, and informed us of a Christmas package that had arrived. This is our 2nd Christmas having Michelle care for our dog/home and we could not be happier! Michelle is a professional, personable, caring person to trust with your pet. HIGHLY RECOMMEND her.”

About: Hi 👋🏽 I’m 28 years old. I’ve loved animals my entire life and have had care giving experience since I was in high school (professionally speaking). I’ll be your baby’s biggest advocate and promise to tend to their needs whether it be cleaning up an oopsie to giving them cuddles. I say I’m willing to watch only medium to small dogs only because I’m 4’11! I love all shapes and sizes! I just wouldn’t want anything to happen to where I couldn’t be able to control a situation safely. For example, if the big puppy and I are going for a walk I don’t want to learn how to fly if he/she sees a squirrel! 😁 I’d love an opportunity to care for your babies. Feel free to ask any questions you may have. I’m currently on a sabbatical until December so my availability at this time is very open. I’m currently on a sabbatical until December so my availability is very open right now. I do an overnight schedule so I’m available from 3pm to 8 am. I’m willing to be flexible with this. Whatever your schedule is, whatever the rules, I’m willing to go the extra mile to make sure all needs are met! It’s very important to me that I show respect for other people’s homes as well as their fur babies.
