“Very reliable and I could sense Niqo loved having a sitter. I swear when i returned he acted a little full of himself🙄😁. She did a great job sent me updates and pics and was very obliging with my short notice change of plans. Will definitely recommend and use again!”


“Cara was AMAZING!!!! She was wonderful with communication and was so great with everything all weekend! From helping dog sit last minute and through TERRIBLE weather - Cara was great through it all and I will definitely request to have her watch my pup again!!”



“Andrea did such a great job watching our two dogs! She sent us updates and let us know the fun activities they did! You can tell that she loves animals!”


“This was our second booking with Jordin! The day we left for our trip, our fur baby started not to feel well (skipped his breakfast) and she kept us posted and he ended up being just fine. Our home was the way we left it when we returned and the dogs seemed happy and well cared for. We also plan to re-book with Jordin.”



“Leigh's care for our senior cat, Diesel, was truly remarkable! She is an absolute gem! During our vacation, she provided 7 days of outstanding care for our 18-year-old senior cat, Diesel. The level of communication was excellent! Leigh kept us updated multiple times a day about Diesel's well-being. Coming home to a spotless house after a long day of travel was the perfect ending to vacation. She went above and beyond in caring for Diesel and our home and exceeded all expectations. We are deeply grateful to have found Leigh; she's far more than a pet sitter to us—she's a remarkable human who provided the best care possible for Diesel.”


“Sheila was amazing! She sent lots of pictures of all my babies during her time with them. Our dogs have very different personalities and needs, and she was great with all of them.”


“Kirsten stayed with our miniature poodle for a few hours. She communicates very well and cares about what our pet needs. We will be asking for her again when we need a sitter.”


About: I have worked at an animal hospital for 4+ years, taking care of patients and overnight boarders at our facility. I have experience with every type of dogs ranging across the board; from puppies to seniors; small dogs to big dogs; from friendly to reserved dogs. I’m experienced and comfortable giving any type of medication (pill, injection, etc.) and can give special care to dogs with special needs. There isn’t a mess that I haven’t had to clean, so I’m prepared to create a safe and healthy environment for any pet. I am also able bodied and can keep up with energetic dogs. I have a very flexible schedule and work part time at the moment, so I have plenty of time to devote to your pets. My work hours vary from week to week but no matter the hours, I’ll be able to provide consistent potty breaks and check ins. I genuinely care about the happiness and safety of all animals, and I’m prepared to provide such an environment. There’s not a mess that I can’t handle or that I haven’t cleaned in the past. I am very good at reading body language to know what the animal is thinking, feeling, and what they need in any given moment. I have experience giving animals medications and can follow special rules or intrusions for feeding, walking, or care.

“Vanessa did an amazing job. She is very nice and attentive to our dogs. The communication was amazing the 5 days we were gone. She kept us up to date each day and sent pictures of our pups to us. We had a last minute flight change and she was willing to go above and beyond to accommodate us. I would highly highly recommend Vanessa! She left our house so clean you couldnt even tell someone was there while we were gone. Thanks Vanessa. We will see you again! ❤️ ?”


“Abby was amazing! She provided so many updates and pictures. She is by far the best pet sitter I have had. Would definitely recommend her to anyone that wants someone who cares for your animals like they are her own!”

“Loved her. She accepted me last minute when my original lady canceled on me and always sent me pictures and updates and I loved it.”


“Kaitlin is wonderful!! My Frenchie Dartagnan absolutely loves her! Kaitlin is very personable, friendly, courteous & responsible. She is also great at communicating. She sent me photos & videos of Dartagnan while I was away so I could see him. Dartagnan is very comfortable with Kaitlin. He ate for her which is saying something because he normally won’t eat while I’m away. He was playful & relaxed with her so this eased my mind while i was on my trip. Kaitlin is full of energy & will keep your pets entertained for sure! I knew Dartagnan was in great hands!! Kaitlin will take such great care of your furbabies! I highly recommend her.”


About: I have done checkins, dog sitting, and walks for my neighbors, families, and friends dogs. I have watched and worked with dogs of all sizes. I’ve spent afternoons caring for dogs. I’m adequate at cleaning up any messes dogs may make. I am good for afternoon to evening visits. I work until 4 pm on the week days. I’m free all day on my weekends of Saturday and Sunday. I’m very attentive to how dogs react to me. If they are on the timid side, I try to let them warm up to me. If they are on the playful more energetic side then I will be much more playful. I give the energy and attention to what the dog will need from me.

About: I’ve spent most of my life rescuing and transporting animals with mother via her company , especially cats and dogs, across America. From a young age, I’ve always had pets, and caring for them has been a central part of my life. My passion for animals is driven by my deep compassion and the desire to give every animal a better chance at life. Over the years, I’ve worked hard to transport animals to their forever homes, and I’ve always approached my work with kindness, patience, and a genuine love for all cpets . My caring nature and dedication to their well-being fuel everything I do in this mission. Hello I'm Abigail I currently work part time fluctuating hours , that's why I asked for 3 days in the advice but I am available most times I'm available in the morning , evening , and overnight and Im off weekends at this point. Having animals most of my life, I'm every comfortable cleaning up after both cats and dogs. Also I'm very comfortable giving oral medicine to both. I love taking walks with dogs, also, I plan on investing in a cat stroller to take your feline friends with us!

“Hannah watched our dog and house this past weekend and did a wonderful job! Scooby loved spending time with her and she even went above and beyond for us, getting mail and watering our flowers. Will definitely ask her to stay again.”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs for many years from family pets, neighbors dogs, dogs of friends, and living with my roommates dog for almost 3 years. I have always been hands-on and very engaging with all dogs I meet. I have learned many important skills involved in puppy training, differing pet routines and needs, positive reinforcement, and how to keep each and every dog comfortable and happy. I prioritize consistent care and reliability, so you can feel confident that your dog is in good hands. I currently have an internship with a very flexible schedule, so I will have plenty of time focused towards availability and care for your pets. If needed I will pursue another part-time job to provide me with a livable income, but I will continue to communicate changes in my schedule availability. Whether I am caring for pets in my home or in my client’s home, I focus on creating a calm, safe, and fun environment. I learn each pet’s routine include mealtimes, medications, walks, and any other needs the dog may need. I make sure each puppy is given the proper attention they need with positive interactions, any needed space, and I am very adaptable to each dog’s personality. I also prioritize cleanliness in every client’s home and use proper communication with clients to satisfy their needs along with their pets’ needs.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs as long as I can remember! From taking care of my elderly dog to welcoming home a brand new puppy, my love and affection for dogs ensures good quality care and extra attention for your fur babies. Outside of my weekend job, I’m totally free during the weekdays (unless of course I’m out of town!). I am good at balancing early mornings and late nights and providing my full attention and energy to your pet is my priority! From basic food, water, and play services to walks, hikes, and medical schedules, I offer a fun, energetic, yet reliable and easygoing experience for your pup!

About: I have helped raise two dogs growing up, one cocker spaniel and one golden retriever. I have also somewhat raised cats. Unfortunately all the cats my family has gotten has been outside cats which always made me disappointed. I have pet sat before for both a cat and a medium dog. I love taking care of animals and becoming buddies with pets. Big dogs do slightly intimidate me so I would like to stick to smaller dogs. I am working part time in Hermann and I will have a good amount of time open now that school is over. I am in the Washington/union area but I can drive pretty much anywhere within 25 miles. I plan on moving to Columbia in the fall but I will be pet sitting all this summer to get some more money with my other job. I know that most pets are feisty but I am patient and caring for animals especially since this world can be cruel to them. I will care for your pets based on all the information you give me and if I have any questions I will ask. I also have many friends with animal experience who can help me out if needed. I won’t mistreat your home and will clean up after myself as well as keep it cleaned (I sometimes get a kick out of cleaning). I can keep your home and pets safe.

About: Hi I’m Abby. I have grown up around animals my entire life and have always had a special place in my heart for animals. I have lots of patience and have no problem giving your pup all the lovins. And I’d be happy to take care of your fur baby! I am currently off work for the summer since I work at a school during the normal school year. So I am available all week days! And most weekends. I work in building trust with your fur baby making sure they feel loved and safe! I make sure to take them on potty breaks when needed, giving them playtime when needed and making sure they are fed and have water! Or taking them on walks when needed! I also am respectful and obey by my clients rules and what they want for their fur baby!

About: I live in a home with three very affectionate dogs. I’ve experience with clingy, needy dogs from this. I also do well slowly gaining animal trust and reading body language. I’ve also a little experience volunteering at an old dog rehoming center. I work at an elementary school so I usually am not free until 5-6pm. However, my work leaves my evenings and often weekends pretty free. I try to fill the role of their owners to the best of my ability. I’ll try to keep the routine animals want to make them comfy. I also love dog cuddles but am usually gentle. I am pretty good at slowly working to gain trust and read their body language.

Mollie F.
“I highly recommend Mollie to take care of your fur babies. She has taken care of mine for several years and most recently, we just lost our Maltese at 14 years, 8 months who suffered from Cushings disease, deaf, blind, and started losing weight. She treated Macie with the most respect and dignity until her last day with us. We had lost our morkie, Lexi, 3 years ago and Mollie was very important to us in taking care of her as well. She would keep us updated on how they were doing even if she just watched them for the day. She is a compassionate and responsible young woman.”

Kathryn C.
“Kate is an animal person through and through and loves nothing more than spoiling our dog. Over the years, she has dog or cat-sat for us as well as for friends and neighbors - always to rave reviews. She's dependable and caring (and yes I'm biased as her mom) but beyond that she truly enjoys spending time with animals and spoiling them with attention.”
