“Holli did a great job of caring for our pets and home while we were gone. If she had a question she didn’t hesitate to ask for clarification. We will definitely be requesting her to watch our pets in the future!”



“Andrea did such a great job taking care of my chihuahuas! They’re very skittish with new people, but they warmed up to her quickly. Andrea sent me pictures of them sitting on her lap after only a couple days of the dogs knowing her!”


About: I understand how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member in someone else’s care, and how important it is to find someone who gets how much your pet means to you. That’s why when caring for others’ pets, I treat them how I’d want someone to care for my own — with lots of love, attention, and playfulness…or calm comfort (whichever suits them best!). I’m happy to follow any special instructions or routines, and always keep you updated with cute pics and notes, if desired. Whether your dog’s super social or a couch cuddler, I’ll make sure they feel loved, happy, and cared for! With being in charge of my own schedule, I have the opportunity to be flexible and accommodate many time-based needs. As a private practice clinician, my work hours are typically shorter and of a different time frame than the average 9-5. I have spare time on my hands during week days (and weekends) when most need care! My area of availability is broad as well as I’m local to the Franklin County area, but work in Chesterfield. While I don’t offer in home care out of love and respect for my own dog-children, I can accommodate your environment — whether that be one inside, outside with no fence, outside with a fence, etc.

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.

About: I grew up with many dogs, my family owned Osage ridge kennel, so I do have experience in puppy care. Also had 3 cats growing up, each had very different personalities. My friends like to call me the cat whisper. I work full time at a barber shop but am always available from 7-9am 12-1:00pm and 6-10pm. I can always schedule time out of my day to check on them if needed more I have a fenced in yard, so if needed they are more than welcomed to run around my yard. I have done crate training on a few! I live downtown washmo so I have lots of area to walk with them

About: I have a lifetime of experience, from growing up on a working farm to rescuing and caring for many pets, of all ages and care needed, of my own. I provide a loving and caring atmosphere for all animals, ensuring you and your pet that they are well cared for. I work full-time, however, I can provide afternoon and evening walks or check-in's through the week with various times throughout the day available on weekends. I enjoy taking dogs for long walks or playing fetch in the yard to keep Sr animals active or to burn off energy on young go-getters. I have 2 Sr cats of my own, so I understand the importance of activity and mental stimulation.

“Sheila is very attentive and loving with our fur babies! She is super flexible and accommodating to our schedule and needs. I would highly recommend Sheila as your sitter!”


About: I’ve raised two dogs myself, a hound mix and a German shepherd/Labrador mix. I may need as many walks as dogs do, so I’m your girl when it comes to dog walking! I do have a very flexible schedule most days, so I should be available to play with or walk your pup whenever you need it! I offer check-ins and walks. I do not have pets in my own home, but I am available to dog-sit in the owners home. I feel that’s where the dog will be most comfortable anyway.

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.

“Kaitlin provided very courteous, conscientious and reliable care for 10 days not only to our cat but also to several patio plants. She was also kind enough to bring in the mail. Upon our return, we found the house just as we left it all living things thriving. We welcomed her to contact us as soon as any question arose, and we really appreciated her communicating with us to seek information whenever needed. It was always clear that she wanted both Franklin to be a comfortable kitty and us to be happy clients. We highly recommend Kaitlin!”


“Katherine did a great job. Very professional and the cats liked her. Excellent communication complete with photos that eased my mind.”


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: I have have had animals my whole life all sorts of animals so I can help with anything! I’m Available whenever you need someone. Message me!! I’m on summer break for the summer so available anytime. During the school year I work 8-4 so I’m available anytime after four to help your loved ones I can help potty train, I can feed, I can help bath, I can help with meds if they have meds. You name it I can do it!

“She took care of me very last minute, when my original sitter cancelled, She was phenomenal to work with. Thank you for EVERYTHING ❤️??”


About: Fun, reliable, and safe care for your best friend is here! In my home or yours, walks and playing, or just a quick stop to make sure they potty and eat I got you! I am always excited to meet new furry friends :) I currently work 4 days a week. We have 2 dogs and 2 cats that are part of our daily routine for walks, playing, and snuggles. Weekends around here are generally pretty chill but even on busy weekends there’s always time for extra furry friends in our lives! I have 2 cats and 2 dogs in my home. When it’s potty time doggies are leashed to ensure no one runs away. Whether my home or yours I’ll make sure your best furry friend is comfortable. Need to be crated? I got you! Need to snuggled? You got it!

About: I’ve been a dog lover since I was young. I’ve been working with dogs for 7 years now. I work at a dog boarding place and also walk dogs or do cat sits. Have a dog of my own. I recently lost my best friend the best dog I’ve ever had in January so it’s been very hard.I have a frenchie she is my world. I will treat and love your pet like they are my family. I work full time but I am willing to help as many families out there that I can. I spend a lot of my time home on the weekends with my kiddos. I have a fenced in yard. I do own my house. I have 1 dog and two children 12 n 11 they love dogs. Plenty of room.

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.
