“Danielle did a great job house and cat sitting. She asked questions for clarification, sent us updates regularly, and left the house in great shape. From the photos, it seems our cat was really comfortable with her and Elle took the time to get to know our cat’s personality. She will be sitting for us again and I highly recommend her.”



“Andrew came right on time for our dog Charlie and sent us cute pictures of how Charlie was doing. He texted me while he was still with Charlie and so we communicated in real time about how the visit was going. This is the most comfortable I have ever felt about a dog sitter!!!! I will definitely use Andrew again!!”


About: As a lifelong animal lover with over 34 years of experience caring for dogs and cats, I understand how much your pets mean to you. I'm committed to giving them the same love, safety, and personalized attention they get at home. Plus, I'm certified in pet first aid and trained in positive reinforcement techniques, so you can trust your furry friends are in good hands Caring for pets isn't just part of my routine; it's my absolute joy! My days are all about making sure these furry friends get the love, exercise, and attention they deserve. Mornings kick off with walks or potty breaks, followed by feeding and playtime. Throughout the day, I fit in more walks, drop-ins, or daycare sessions tailored to each pet's unique needs. One of the best parts? My home has an amazing acre of fenced-in yard where pets can run free and play to their heart's content. Plus, I've even installed a DIY doggy door so they can come and go as they please. It's the perfect setup for them to feel right at home. Evenings are all about longer walks, cuddles, and winding down together before bed. On a weekly basis, I make sure to balance pet care with my personal schedule, so I'm always available for your pets, whether it's during the week or on weekends. My goal is to create a safe, loving space where pets feel like they're part of the family. For me, pet care isn't just a job—it's my passion! I have a fenced yard and one high energy pup to keep your dog company or if they are a low energy type even better cuz then they can hang out with me I have a fenced yard and one high-energy pup who can keep your dog company. If your dog is more low-energy, that's great too—they can hang out with me and be my buddy. No one is ever left feeling lonely here. My home is a lot like a dog park, with plenty of fenced in outside space for them to enjoy. If your dog does well at the dog park, I’m confident they’ll thrive with me!

“Lindsey is a wonderful pet sitter who takes excellent care of our furry troop! Right out the door, when we first met her, we got an excellent first impression. She is very warm and friendly and was great with our pets! When we came home after our week away our pets were relaxed and happy.”


“Jennifer did everything I asked and she sent communications with each visit. Truman was a pill and wouldn’t come out and she was truly concerned until I said it’s his way. I’ll use see her again”


About: I am an animal science major and absolutely adore animals! I grew up with 2 dogs and have taken care of friends dogs and cats over the past year while also house sitting. I am working part time at a horse clinic while also going to class. I have time in between classes to take out, feed or play animals and after work I can attend to them as well. I live in an apartment so I will not be able to do over nights but would love to take your dog on a walk and play with them to meet their exercise needs!

About: I treat every dog like family—not just a job. I learn their quirks, their favorite toys, and what makes their tail wag. I build trust with both dogs and their humans, creating a calm, loving environment that feels like home. I will ALWAYS send updated pictures a videos! Even with a full-time job, pet care is a priority I plan around, not squeeze in. I only accept clients I can fully commit to—meaning your pet gets the time, energy, and attention they deserve. I offer early morning, evening, and weekend care, and I’m highly organized to keep everything running smoothly. Pet care isn’t a side hustle for me—it’s a passion I build into my daily life. When pets stay with me, they become part of the family. I provide a safe, clean, and cozy environment with plenty of playtime, cuddles, and structure. I stick closely to their home routines—feeding, walks, medications, and bedtime habits—so they feel secure and comfortable. I make sure they get mental stimulation, physical activity, and lots of love throughout the day. In-home care means your pet stays in their familiar space, which helps reduce stress. I keep everything consistent with your instructions—from feeding and potty breaks to walks, play, and downtime. I respect your home like it’s my own and always send updates, photos, and quick check-ins to keep you at ease while you’re away.

About: I’ve loved and taken care of animals my whole life (farm!) I can also administer shots and medications as well as skilled in senior care. I am available full time! I can also work in the evenings or any odd hours you might need. I am available weekends as well. Also please keep in mind I do not charge extra for more than one dog if I am dog sitting in your house, my rate is set and it is that amount for as many animals as you have. I have two sweet fur babies at home to keep your pet company! We can go on long walks in our big neighborhood, trails or dog park.

About: I've owned dogs for 15 years now. I was previously a fur Mom of 1. Now I am a fur Mom of 4! My son and I have 1 Guinea Pig and 3 adorable and sweet dogs. People that know me ask me to pet sit anything from cats and dogs, to goats and horses. I absolutely love caring for animals! We do all sorts of activities including walks, dog parks, and games in the fenced in back yard. I bathe and groom my mini poodles on a weekly-monthly basis. We have a set feeding schedule and a wonderful sun room where I crate train my dogs. Potty training and behavior training are things I enjoy! I have a very consistent work schedule so pets can get the care that they deserve! We have a large, fenced in backyard for plenty of fetch, stick chewing and running. We have a friendly neighborhood for daily walks. Pets get lots of love, attention and plenty of potty breaks at our home! Pet safety and care it my upmost priority! Pets are always given ample attention and one on one time. Food and water is monitored and scheduled according to owners. Pets are always supervised and given lots of love and pets. We have so many dog toys that there is something for every pet!

About: I have had several dogs throughout my entire life. I have helped raise several pups myself and am currently training my own puppy named Lola. I enjoy teaching dogs and taking care of them to help them live to their fullest! I can’t wait to meet you and your furry friends! I currently work part-time and am enrolled in college classes. I manage my time well enough to be able to schedule days for you and your pups needs! I live in an apartment but I would be more than willing to take the dogs to a park, on a walk, on trails, or to other activities to get their exercise in for the day! I respect everyone’s home and personal space just as it’s my own.

About: I’m a devoted animal caretaker with over 25 years of hands-on experience and a deep, intuitive connection to animals of all kinds. I’m neurodivergent and have always felt tuned into the emotional world of animals — I pick up on subtle cues, communicate calmly, and adapt to each pet’s unique personality and needs. I was raised on a farm in my early childhood, surrounded by horses, pigs, donkeys, and goats. As a teenager, I spent time working with unridable horses — the so-called “lost causes.” I developed a reputation for being able to build trust and connection with animals that others couldn’t reach. That same ability has carried into my work with dogs and cats: I’m kind of an animal whisperer. I don’t dominate or control — I listen, observe, and build safety through relationship. Over the years, I’ve cared for everything from high-energy herding dogs to elderly chows needing stroller walks and patience. I frequently care for my mom’s brilliant, high-needs zuchon, and I’ve helped rescue dogs like my silky terrier recover from severe neglect and trauma. I currently live with three cats I raised from kittenhood and have experience with bottle babies and end-of-life medical care. I’ve supported cats through kidney failure and can administer subcutaneous hydration fluids while you’re away, if needed. Whether your pet is anxious, reactive, elderly, or just wonderfully weird, I meet them exactly where they are — and give them the kind of care that helps them feel safe and seen. Here’s a quick look at what I offer: - Experience with elderly, anxious, and reactive pets - Comfortable with oral meds and subcutaneous fluids (for cats) - Skilled at building trust with “difficult” animals - Can reinforce training and add enrichment to walks or playtime - LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent-friendly households welcome 🌈 Let’s make a plan that keeps your pets calm, loved, and thriving while you're away. 🐕💛🐈 I work part-time from home as a writer, so I have a flexible schedule and love incorporating pet care into my daily routine and rhythm. I don’t offer in-home care since I live in an apartment, but I’m available for 1–2 night overnight stays in your home. I focus on creating a calm, safe environment where pets feel secure, respected, and cared for—especially those with anxiety, special needs, or trauma histories.

About: I grew up on a farm where our pets were always family members and treated with love and respect. I have two rescue dogs myself. I am happy to keep my dogs separated from clients. I am fortunate that my parents have a farm and welcome their grand pups in case of overlaps in sittings. My girls do great with most other pets, however I understand every animal has their own personality and comfort zone. I respect and do things on the owner and the pet’s terms. I strive to provide an experience where you feel you are leaving your loved ones with people who care as much as you. I worked the corporate world since college and decided I would take a break and enjoy a summer with my own fur babies. I have always been the go-to dog sitter for close friends and family. I quickly received more requests by word of mouth with my flexible schedule this summer. I am currently working on starting my own company for pet products making my schedule open and flexible! I live in Boonville, MO. I attend regularly conservation areas, dog parks, and my parents wooded farm outside of Glasgow, MO. My home is an apartment. I have an outdoor deck with stairs that access a private fenced in area that is pet safe. My home is equipped with a dog door for my own pups to use at their leisure along with security cameras. Plus I am only a block from Katy Trail access!

“Caitlin was wonderful! She came by to meet our 5 cats the same day that she agreed to the booking and was so patient and receptive to each of our animals needs. She took time with them and gave them space to let them come to her and we were pleasantly surprised at how friendly everyone was with her and how comfortable they seemed around her. During the visit she sent pictures and went above and beyond the care instructions, washing the dishes used for their meals, replacing our tissues, and leaving the house better than when we left. She communicated throughout the entire process and made us feel safe in leaving our felines and our home in her hands.”


About: We’ve had pets for the last 13 years. My family and I have raised two English Springer Spaniels and currently have a 7 month Irish Setter puppy. I also have experience working with cats. I am a high school counselor, so I’m currently off for the summer until mid August. I would love to work part time during the school year I have a large backyard where dogs can play and unwind. We have a 7 month Irish Setter who loves to play with other dogs.

Tami H.
“Tami is incredibly patient and thoughtful with animals. They've worked with some of the most challenging pets imaginable, including their own rescue from a puppy mill who arrived completely shut down and fearful - and thanks to Tami's care, that dog felt love for the first time and learned to trust. They frequently care for my dog, Ollie, who is a very energetic (and sometimes opinionated) little zuchon. Tami walks him regularly and always keeps a careful eye on him - he needs someone who understands both his smarts and his energy, and Tami manages him beautifully. He's always overjoyed to see her! They're especially great with animals who need a little extra attention, whether it's anxiety, trauma history, or medical needs. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for kind, experienced and deeply attuned pet care.”


Michelle W.
“I can always trust Michelle to care for my dog and treat him like her own. She is on top of walks, dog parks (for play) feeding, treats and love. Her communication is top notch, providng updates with photos which are always better than I have ever caputed of my doggo. With Michelle as my dog sitter, I have no concerns. I can kick back and chill because I know my dog is safe, happy, and entertained!”
