House Sitting in West Independence

About: I’ve spent the past eight years caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments from energetic puppies to large, strong dogs and older pets needing a gentler pace and I’m completely comfortable adapting to each one’s needs. Over time, I’ve learned how important consistency, patience, and understanding behavior are, whether that means handling high-energy walks, reinforcing routines, or helping a nervous dog feel at ease. What sets me apart is that I don’t just walk or check in and leave—I take the time to build trust, give them attention, and make sure they feel safe and cared for. I’m reliable, attentive, and treat every dog like my own, so you can feel confident they’re in good hands. Pet care and pet sitting fit seamlessly into my schedule, allowing me to be flexible and dependable for both regular visits and last-minute needs. With more availability during the current season and upcoming summer, I’m able to offer consistent care, longer visits, and more time for walks, play, and attention. This flexibility benefits clients by ensuring their pets maintain a stable routine, get extra exercise, and receive reliable, attentive care while they’re away, especially during busy travel months. I understand how important it is to trust someone in your home and with your pets. I always prioritize safety, follow your instructions closely, and keep you updated with messages and photos so you know your pet is happy and doing well. I’m respectful of your space, dependable, and treat your home and pets with the same care I give my own. When pet sitting, I stick closely to your pet’s normal routine to keep things stress-free. This typically includes feeding on schedule, fresh water, walks or litter box care, playtime or companionship, and any medications if needed. I also do quick check-ins around the home (like making sure everything is secure) and send regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to keep everything as normal and comfortable as possible while you’re away.

“Monica was absolutely wonderful. She was very kind, always responsive, and kept us updated the entire time. We were able to fully enjoy our vacation because we had a great feeling about her from the very beginning. When we came back, the cats were happy — and that’s all we could ever ask for. She also sent us very cute pictures throughout the stay. Thank you so much, Monica!”

“MacKinley did a nice job with our needy cat. She commented with me several times to check in with my preferences. Lucy was happy when we got home. She even left food that my cat likes since she couldn’t use it for her own anymore. Thanks Mackinley!”

About: 20+ years of personal experience caring for cats and dogs in home environments. Experienced with multi-pet households, senior pet care, kitten/puppy routines, enrichment play, litter box maintenance, feeding schedules, and administering medications. Known for patience, attentiveness, and creating low-stress, comforting environments for pets while owners are away. I am currently in the process of finishing my degree. I have a lot of extra time and I love animals so I figured I would give this a shot. I attend college online so I can travel with my schooling. I provide consistent, attentive care in both settings by following each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, litter care, play, and medication if needed. In my home, I maintain a calm, pet-friendly environment with supervision, safe spaces, enrichment activities, and structured routines that reduce stress and encourage comfort. In a client’s home, I respect their space and routines exactly as instructed, ensuring pets feel secure in their familiar environment while keeping everything clean, organized, and updated. Across both, I focus on reading behavior, providing companionship, and making sure every pet feels safe, cared for, and understood while their owners are away.
