About: I've had pets in my family since I was a kid, and I have taken care of foster animals, family pets and friends pets throughout adulthood. I have taken care of pets who have medication needs and environment needs (scared of thunder and such.) I work for myself, so I am able to work around my work hours accordingly and easily to provide the care that is needed for my clients. My care is adaptive to each pet family's needs and home. I am an observant person and pay attention to the details while caring for pets. I cannot take on daycare or boarding services right now, but I am more than happy to take dogs for walks, care for cats, and pet sit while you're away.
About: I have over 10 years of pet sitting experience, starting back in high school, with hands on care for both small and large dogs as well as cats. I work from home in Washington, Missouri, which allows me to travel locally between breaks to check on your pet pals. I’m a pet parent to both a dog and a cat, so I understand the care and attention animals need. I’m also open to overnight stays when they fit alongside my schedule and my own pets’ care. I work full time from home with a flexible schedule, which makes it easy to fit pet care into my daily routine. I’m able to clock out for breaks during the daytime to do drop-ins or walks and can flex hours into the evening as needed. I typically have good availability on weekends since I don’t work weekends, allowing me to provide consistent care and attention for your pets. I pay close attention to care, safety, and details. In my own home, our pets are our number one priority—they’re our only “kids.” Our dog and cat receive individual enrichment and playtime, along with consistent, scheduled feedings. I bring that same level of care, attention, and respect into your homes, following routines closely to ensure pets feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.
About: Hello! I’m Arlene, and I’ve been working with animals since I was 16! I have several years of experience in the veterinary field in California, and caring for animals has always been a huge passion of mine ❤️ I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I strive to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Whether it’s playtime, walks, cuddle time, or sticking to their daily schedule, I’ll care for your pets as if they were my own. Since recently moving to Missouri, I’m currently focusing on house sitting, drop-in visits, and walks rather than boarding. I love caring for pets in the comfort of their own home, where they can stay relaxed and keep their normal routine. I have dogs of my own who are friendly and up to date on all vaccinations, and my veterinary experience allows me to recognize changes in a pet’s health or behavior should any concerns arise. Thank you for taking the time to visit my profile! I’d love the opportunity to care for your furry family members. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out! Caring for animals is part of my everyday routine. I have dogs of my own, so I’m used to daily walks, feeding, playtime, and providing lots of attention. I schedule my days around the pets I’m caring for to make sure they receive reliable, loving care and their routines stay as consistent as possible. I care for pets in the comfort of their own home by following their normal routine, including feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and plenty of love and attention. I also provide regular photo updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
About: I love dogs! All dogs... big, small, smelly, playful. I have experience caring for my own dogs as well as other's. Dogs generally love me as well. I learned most of what I know about caring for dogs from The Dog Whisperer. He really knows his stuff! Does your dog need walks and some extra training? I can handle that no problem and really enjoy seeing a dog respond to training and play. I use positive reinforcement while working with dogs. I love walking for fitness and love it even more when I have a pup to join me. While pet sitting, I can also care for plants, etc. I enjoy gardening so if you have a garden and require house/pet sitting, consider me your person! My schedule is very flexible. I currently work gig jobs and freelance, remote accounting projects. If I am house/pet sitting for you I can accommodate whatever schedule your animals usually follow. I will follow whatever rules/instructions are laid out for me. Safety is number 1 and I am sure to keep owners updated on any issues promptly.
“We have used Barbara multiple times. She always communicates well and is extremely nice to our dog. We appreciate having someone so reliable and never have any doubts about the care and attention given to our dog. Would absolutely recommend her.”
“Kate did a great job of checking in and spending time with our senior dog while I was at work. My dog is not in the best health and it was a comfort to know he was being taken care of especially on the days he wasn't feeling as well.”
About: I've always grown up with 3+ dogs of all sizes! I am responsible and very loving. Not a certified trainer, but I will love your baby like my own! I'm a very active person and enjoy being outdoors in the sun and my favorite company is a furry friend 🐕 I have a pretty flexible job and can easily work around any schedule. I have experience with all dogs of all sizes! I prefer to go to your home to make your doggies experience better. Animals tend to be less anxious and scared being in their own space. 🙂 Will absolutely make arrangements if needed!

About: My love for pets is what sparked me to enter the wonderful world of pet sitting. I have been a dog walker/dog sitter and have been boarding dogs for 6+ years.
