Dog Sitting in Willard

“I can't say enough about how awesome Elijah is. He did a meet and greet first and foremost, took notes regarding my preferences, and interacted with Merlin to get him comfortable. Elijah has excellent communication skills and keeps me in the know during each drop in. He has provided me with multiple pictures and a thorough summary. I feel 100% comfortable using his services and Merlin adores him! Honestly, I wish I had found him sooner! I'm truly grateful to have someone like Elijah look after my furbaby. If you're looking for someone to help out with your animals, you absolutely, 100%, need to contact Elijah.”

“I am so grateful for Ara! She did amazing with my young, large dog who can be a handful sometimes. She was very attentive and went above & beyond, making sure all my animals had their needs met & enough attention and love. I appreciate the communication I received as well throughout my trip. Will absolutely be using her again!”

“Isabel was fantastic with our dogs. She even let them all out at the same time and I don’t even do that when I feed and clean pens!!! Thank you so much Isabel for taking such good care of our Pumpkins.”

About: I’ve had a deep passion for animals since I could remember. I currently live on my families compound farm where animals take up the majority of my day! Dogs in particular have been a very serious part of my life. The last 3 years I have taken dog training seriously and learned the techniques and canine behavior behind almost every breed. There hasn’t been a dog i’ve met that I haven’t loved! Booking with me will provide your dog with proper care but also socialization to goats, cattle, chickens and lots of new smells (all within the safety your dog needs). Im currently a student at a local college during the fall and spring months and work part time during the summer so I have a lot of free time to tend to your animals! I have a fenced in yard and two friendly dogs in the home to keep your dog company! As well as many open fields to go on long walks and play!

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats since I was a child. They are not like family, they are family. Many friends and relatives have entrusted me to care for their pets for short and long stays at my home where they receive love, attention, play, and care. When caring for your pets, they will not be alone for more than 4 hours at a time during the weekday. Evenings and weeknights they will not be alone for more than an hour at a time. I have a large fenced yard and close access to a public park for walks. I enjoy playing with animals and giving them attention and care.

About: I have taken care of senior dogs who are no longer themselves, dementia, potty issues, etc. I have taken care of kittens and puppies less than a week old as well ! I have an open schedule so most times of the day work for me. I would prefer nights or overnight sitting. It is very rewarding. I can easily defuse situations that aren’t going as planned. If crate training is something you do that’s no problem! I grew up around crate training and keeping your pet safe is my top priority!

“Autumn and Matt were amazing! My babies do not take to people very quickly, but they were best friends! They are very caring and loving and will suggest them to everyone I know as well as booking them for every trip I have in the future! It's nice to get away and not stress how well the babies that keep you happy are being treated!”

About: I’ve actually been pet sitting for years and have volunteer experience with the ASPCA. I’ve cared for senior and special needs dogs. We love all pets though I’ve even pet sat lizards snakes and cats. My schedule is pretty flexible I work remotely as a contractor for a big company Monday through Friday. Although I’d prefer daytime bookings let me know what you’re needing My dogs eat chicken free food cause our pug is allergic. Mushu’s special care is we wipe his wrinkles & ears daily with a weekly bath. Buddy is a tank who can eat anything but he needs his paws trimmed once a month. Buddy deals with anxiety from being a sheepdog with no sheep so he has lots of toys and an occasional cbd treat.

About: I have grown up with all kinds of animals in the house including dogs, cats, rodents, fish, and even turtles. The responsibility of pet ownership has been instilled in me from a young age and I’d love to help out others where I can! I’ve had all sizes and energy levels of dogs including a greyhound, chihuahua, cattle dog, cocker spaniel, and a chiweenie! I’m not at a place in life where I can own my own pet right now but I’d love to help others take care of their furry family members! I work 3.5 days a week and I’m looking to care for pets on Thursday-Sunday! I have a pretty open/flexible schedule on those days! I would be able to walk, play with and/or entertain your dog or cat depending on its needs and energy level. I am a very flexible person and can work and learn to accommodate to your pets needs!

About: I’ve had my own dog for the past two years and personally potty trained her, taught her tricks, and trained her to be comfortable and well-behaved around people. I also worked in child care for two years, which taught me patience, responsibility, and how to care for others with attention and love. I treat every dog with the same care and protection I would give a one-year-old baby, making sure they feel safe, happy, and well looked after while you’re away. I’m available Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday all day, and Wednesday from 8:00 AM – 2:00 PM. I’m flexible during those times and happy to work with your pet’s routine. I create a safe, calm environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for. I’m attentive, patient, and always focused on your pet’s safety and happiness. I treat every dog like family and make sure they get plenty of attention and supervision.

About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and I’ve cared for pets of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. I’ve owned dogs myself, helped care for neighbors’ pets, and walked friends’ dogs over the years. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I’ll treat yours with the same love, patience, and attention I’d want for my own. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to be available for walks, drop-ins, daycare, and overnight care throughout the week. I understand pets thrive on consistency, and I’m happy to work with your routine to make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a secure fenced yard and live in a safe south-side neighborhood with plenty of room for walks and playtime. Whether your pet loves to be active or prefers quiet cuddles, I’ll make sure they feel at home and cared for like family.

“Tabitha coordinated with me last minute and was so easy to communicate with! My dogs seemed to have LOVED their time with her and the pictures at the end of the visit were just the cherry on top! I will certainly be using Tabitha for any future bookings!”

About: I am a dependable and loving pet owner who treats every pet like family. I have hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats, and I genuinely love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I have always loved animals, growing up I've had cats, dogs, lizards, hamsters, ferrets.. I’m open to loving all kinds. I currently spoil my three cats and my two dogs, I couldn’t imagine life without them and will care for your pets the way I would want someone to care for mine. I have personal experience caring for high-energy dogs, gentle seniors, and cats with very different temperaments. Each pet has their own personality and needs. I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for your pet, and I always prioritize safety, communication, and consistency! I work weekdays in the morning/afternoon. I make my own schedule though so I can be flexible for potty breaks and pets needs. Available after 3pm weekdays and have full weekend availability. I have a fenced yard and two dogs and three cats. When away my dogs are allowed to roam but if your pet needs crated or their own space that is completely possible. I am very pet friendly and put my pets before anything, they will be well taken care of.

About: ~~ I’m the perfect sitter for your anxious, mellow or chill or senior dog as I have a calm and peaceful presence. ~~ What sets me apart is that I work remotely, which allows me to be present with pets throughout the day rather than leaving them alone for long periods. This gives me the flexibility to respond to their needs, routines, and energy levels. I’ve had experience with animals for many years. I previously owned a black lab named Aurora, and I currently have an orange cat of my own. I also regularly help care for my mother’s two dogs — a Maltese Schnauzer and a Golden Retriever — and I’ve looked after my sister’s dog multiple times in the past as well. Animals tend to gravitate toward me because I pay close attention to their body language, boundaries, and personalities. I’m very mindful of their cues and comfort levels, which helps me understand what they need and how they’re feeling. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I’d be happy to give your pet the attention, care, and companionship they deserve. If I’m housesitting, I’m practically readily available. I work a full-time remote job that will still allow me to be present and handle the tasks needed to care for your pets. I would have time to see them in intervals multiple times a day with no problem and with plenty of time for play. But if drop in visits, I can do 2-3 drop in’s. 1st at 7:30-8:30a, 2nd at 11a-1:30p and 3rd at 4:30p-10p - depending on my work schedule and the daily demand. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat the space with the understanding that it is first and foremost your pet’s home and safe environment. I’m very respectful of both the home and the routines that your pet is used to. I keep the environment calm, clean, and consistent so your pet feels comfortable while you’re away. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and house rules. I also avoid loud noise or disruptions and aim to maintain the same peaceful atmosphere your pet is used to. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, relaxed, and cared for, while also treating your home with the same respect I would my own.

About: I have had so many different pets! I have a cat named McNugget and a dog named Gordo! I also have 2 guinea pigs and a hamster. I love playing and relaxing with the furry friends as well and would love to hang out with yours too! My pets have a few medical issues so I am skilled with giving pill and insulin shots to them as well if needed! I am in Nursing school and a sorority at Missouri State so my schedule does vary a lot but I can make a lot of different times work! I live in an apartment that is not pet friendly so unfortunately they cannot be watched in my home, but I will drive over as many times as you need me to throughout the day! I can feed, walk, play, give them baths, etc!

About: I spent time as an animal cruelty investigator for Escambia County Florida, and another couple years as a lead care technician for a no-kill facility. I also do basic obedience, as well as some therapy, service, and K-9/working dog training. I work for myself out of my home shop on my own schedule. I can typically work you in for whatever time works best for you. I have converted my garage into a pet friendly play area, and I make sure to keep my eyes on the pups at all times when they are in my care to ensure their safety, whether that's in your home or mine, the park, or a walk around the block.

About: I volunteered at CARE which is a no kill pet shelter for cats and dogs in 2014 and recently started volunteering at this place again, February 2018. My duties included feeding and making sure the animals had enough water. Cleaned out kennels and cages and would take the dogs outside and walk them. I have had dogs and cats since I was born and currently had a dog who loved being around other cats and dogs. She loved to play with animals as well and loved children. Her name was Daisy she is in my profile pic with me. Daisy was euthanized on September 1st, 2023. I now have another dog whose name is Emma. She’s a year old and as long as it’s ok with a client I bring her to pet sitting jobs. She loves other animals including cats and loves to play. She’s lovable and affectionate and loves attention. I also have a cat and her name is Maizy. She is four years old and I got her when she was almost 4 weeks old. I would take Daisy for walks and if I could take her with me to other places I did. One of the places I took her was to the pet store. I no longer wear a mask unless I have to. If you prefer for me to wear one please let me know and I will wear one. I use to work at a job which required me to work a 10 hour shift. I am now working at a full time job which has 8 hour shifts. I can work around my schedule if needed. My supervisor does work with me on switching my days around if needed. I can’t keep your pet in my apartment due to rules and restrictions but I can come to your home. I will provide my own food and necessities.

“Great experience with Carissa. Was able to coordinate on short notice and took great care of the kittens over the weekend.”
