“Ashley was our first experience with a pet sitter and she was amazing! Our puppy had the best time during her visit. In addition to caring for him. Ashley prepared our puppy's food to accommodate his special dietary needs. Ashley arrived right on time, showed great care, and provided insightful photos of her visit with our puppy. Five stars!”


“Baylee did a wonderful job checking in on our new puppy! She’s very personable and even offered to come over the day before for a meet-and-greet, where she was extremely interactive and attentive with the puppy. It’s clear that she is genuinely invested in her work and takes great pride in what she does. I would highly recommend her — 10/10!”


About: My love for animals started at a young age that carried on into adulthood. I have previous work experience at a vet clinic and was a volunteer for a local rescue. I am the "go to" with friends, family and coworkers when the need a pet sitter. They know their fur babies will be safe and loved on in their absence. I currently have a full time job Monday thru Friday. But my schedule is flexible. We would need to discuss your needs and if I am unable to meet them, I would definitely let you know. I do provide overnight visits in your home if that is something you are looking for. My employer is also pet friendly. I prefer to stay at my clients residence as I do not have a fenced in yard.I think by doing that it is less stressful on the animals.

About: Residing on a farm with open running space or enclosed electrical fencing for outside time, animals are sure to love their farm life experience. My husband and I have trained our own dogs to respond to basic commands: sit, shake, stay, come, and no. We have around 600 birds (chickens, guineas, ducks), 10 goats, and 2 Great Pyrenees girls (unaltered) that predominately reside outside. We also have 5 cats that are indoor outdoor and every other week our 16 and 10 y.o. boys are here to provide extra attention to animals visiting. We have also cared for animals at the end of life phase, moving at a slower pace and needing that extra assistance to get around. I currently work an 8 hour shift commuting to STL Monday-Friday. I work for the MO Army National Guard full-time, to include one weekend a month. My Husband’s full time job is taking care of the farm. He is predominately on farm, or not too far out if he is away. Caring for additional animals will fit like a glove into the animal schedule we currently operate on any given day. Caring for our own pets consist of daily feedings. There is always dry food out for all animals. The dogs and cats get wet food once a day, typically in the evening. The cats get attention when they want it. The dogs get released out of the fence a couple times a week to run the land under human supervision. They will also be let inside for short periods of time as we work on training them with inside manners, not to mention, one of the girls is terrified of thunder storms. Our animals are pampered with treats, attention, and full on conversations. They are more than animals around here, they’re family!

“Autumn has watched our dog over a long weekend at her home and dropped in to let our dog out while we were out of town for the day. She always sends us pictures and keeps us updated on how she’s doing. She does a great job!”


“Amazing!! I have nothing but amazing things to say about Jeannette! She was there when I expected her to be there. She took several pictures! She even stayed longer than I had said she needed to, to give my dogs some more time outside to run around! She played with them and gave them cuddles!

“Draven was fantastic with our Goldendoodle during her drop-in visits. Her communication was on point, and she even noticed that we had accidentally locked our cat in the bedroom. Thankfully, she let him out and made sure everything was okay. We’re so grateful for the care she gave our sweet boy. Highly recommend Draven to anyone needing drop-in care for their pets!”


“Kailyn is the best! She took such great care of both of our dogs, gave excellent updates with photos, and even filled the horse’s water when we asked her to! She is so sweet and made sure to contact us with any questions or concerns. She even hand fed one of our dogs, because she was concerned he wasn’t eating enough! Don’t think twice, book the sweetheart, to take care of your babies.”

I do always like to make sure the dog will have a nice comfy warm place to relax is they choose. Always ALWAYS having a water bowl with fresh water for the pup. As well as having toys around to entertain the pup as well as possibly some treats if we are going to be working on a few simple skills. I will always make sure to read a dog and if they are not liking how I am acting I will stop and move on. Or possibly give the dog a second to relax.
