Pet Sitting in Youngers

“Lana did a great job with our dog Kaya! Lana came to come meet her prior to her drop-in visits and Kaya instantly made a new friend :) Definitely recommend Lana and will book her again in the future!”

“Mrs. Mary was so so wonderful and accommodating! I was just a nervous wreck when I left my Tilly home, that the beginning of my vacation wasn’t even enjoyable. However, after her updates I began to feel so much better knowing I had someone there who was really taking her. I would rebook Mary again in a heartbeat.”

“Abigail will be our #1 animal caregiver going forward. With less than a week until our wedding, Knight (our 9-month old mini goldendoodle) developed a mild case of kennel cough. Since boarding was no longer an option, we hopped on Rover and found Abigail. She came over to meet Knight and the cats, and went above and beyond our expectations. Knight had frequent visits, lots of play sessions, and tons of attention while he was at home. Abigail administered medicine, and we came home to a happy and healthy puppy (all courtesy of Abigail). We recommend Abigail unconditionally and trust her in our home with our fur babies anytime.”

About: I have taken care of various family pets from cats and dogs to horses and cows. I grew up around multiple farms and have been trusted in helping take care of these farmer's animals. I have kept multiple dogs and cats at my home for pet owners. I enjoy taking walks daily and love to have a friendly pet by my side! I am beginning my junior year at Mizzou, majoring in Elementary Education. I am currently a student at Mizzou and have classes four days a week at various times. I will have multiple opportunities free to check in on pets, take them for walks, or let them outside. I am a collage student with frequent breaks and a flexible schedule so the pet won’t be home alone for long periods of time. I live in a safe neighborhood which is convenient for taking dogs on walks. I have a small grassed backyard for dogs to be outside on a leash.

“Abigail did a fantastic job of taking care of our 4 feline boys for a week. One of our guys has some special needs and she excelled in his care giving. You could tell from the photos and videos that the fur balls really appreciated her visits. Will definitely use her again when the need arises. Highly recommended.”

About: I have worked in professional pet care for 4 years and have been watching neighbors dogs for the past 2 years. At doggy daycare I have worked with all sizes and ages of dogs and am comfortable with all of them. I am currently and student at The University of Missouri but am still able to come to your house to watch your pet. I can stay at your house during the week or weekend, my classes are during the middle of the day so they can go out plenty of times in the morning and night. I have three dogs at home that I am very used to taking care of as well as my cat. I can follow your pets schedule so there is no difference in your care and mine.

About: I have been pet sitting since my freshman year of college, and am now in my 30s. I am especially good with older dogs who need special care - even hand feeding or adjusting what they eat for their digestive systems to handle on a given day. Let me handle them and I'll make sure they know they're loved! When the alarm goes off at 5:30 every morning, I take our two labs downstairs to go outside, and then it's back up to the kitchen for breakfast. They spend the day with my husband, and then I take them outside before bed. They are my whole world! My biggest goal is to make sure I abide by your pet's routine and disrupt their schedule as little as possible. Our animals trust us, and I never take that trust for granted.

“Always stayed in touch and showed up when supposed to. Was very interactive with the dogs and they seemed to like her a lot.”

About: I’ve had dogs, cats, and small mammals (Rabbits, Guinea pigs) since I was 5. I have also dog and cat sat for family and friends before. I have some animal training experience as well. I will be earning my B.S. in Animal Sciences in May and am starting Veterinary School in August. Through my undergraduate education I have have learned a lot about animal welfare, husbandry, and science. Pet care is something I do daily when taking care of my dog, cat, and two rabbits. I am excited to incorporate this job as a break in my academic schedule by playing with some cute pets : ) -walks: I can walk your animal around your area or if preferred I could take them to different parks/trails. I will also make sure the animal has plenty of water in their habitat. -drop in’s: I will come visit your pet, make sure they have plenty of food/water, take them out to go potty, play with them, pet them, give belly rubs, etc. For a small extra charge I can also: Feed them if needed, and/or change the litter box if needed. I can also administer topical, oral, intramuscular, and subcutaneous medications. Personally, I have an elderly diabetic dog so I am very familiar with medications and injections. I am also very familiar with behavior and abnormal signs and will contact you if I notice anything out if the ordinary. I can also send a picture of your pet each time I see them if requested: )

About: I have cared for animals my entire life. Friends and family rely on me to walk, stay with, play with and care for their animals as I would my own. I grew up with pets and have been the sole caregiver for mine for 8 years. I have 2 cats and 1 dog. I consider them my children and would treat yours with the same respect and care. I work full-time 9-5 but I am fully remote so I have flexibility to step away! I am available weeknights and weekends as well. Will work with you to best accommodate your pet. Upon entry to my clients home, I would safely secure the entrance to ensure the pet did not escape and no one else accessed the property. I would lovingly great your pet with lots of cuddles and kisses. If I am walking, I would apply the proper safety harness/collar and walk the dog for your desired duration, ensure all bathroom breaks are made. I would return your pet safely and secure the home before departure. If I am staying to play, I would let the pet outside in the approved area for bathroom breaks and use the provided toys to enrich your pet for the desired duration. I would secure the home before departure. In both instances, I would leave your pet with an empty bladder and full heart.

About: As a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for cats, dogs, and many animals in between, I know how important it is to find someone you trust with your pets. I treat every animal like family, paying attention to their unique needs, personalities, and routines. Whether it’s playtime, snuggles, or just a calming presence while you’re away, I’m here to make sure your pets feel safe and loved every step of the way. I have personal experience with owning dogs, cats, and rodents. I also have experience long term fostering a bearded dragon. I currently work full-time as an optician, so my availability during the weekdays is focused on early mornings, midday check-ins or potty breaks, and evenings for pet care, cuddles, and companionship. I’m fully available on weekends and can accommodate overnight stays or more flexible schedules then. I’m used to balancing a busy schedule and always make sure pets in my care get the attention and love they need. I’m also typically available during holidays, and I know how important it is to have someone reliable when travel plans come up—especially during busy seasons. For dogs, I offer visits, check-ins, and overnight stays in their own home where they feel most comfortable. For cats, I have both the availability and space to care for them in my home while you’re away. My dog and cat get along well with other cats, and I have a variety of extra supplies, toys, treats, and an additional litter box ready for your furry friend. If you have any questions, concerns, or a different type of pet needing care, I’m more than happy to chat and see if we can work something out!

“My 3 65 pound dogs are complicated and spoiled. She was amazing and they responded to her the moment she came to meet them. Will look forward to doing it again.”

“Hannah dropped by twice while I was on an extended day trip. She was prompt and professional and left great notes and pictures. Gracie, Moses and I liked her immediately at the meet and greet. I feel confident my babies were well taken care of and would love to have Hannah care for them again!”

About: I have a great deal of experience working with various breeds of dogs. Most of my work has been with rescue animals. I am very patient with animals and put them first while they are in my care. I provide the level of care that I would expect for my fur baby. I can taylor my schedule to fit their needs. I have experience with gerbils, chinchillas, sugar gliders, and birds! I have a three bedroom home with one dog. I am more than willing to watch your pet in my home or travel to yours. I can provide clean food/water bowls, a clean pet bed, and a large size indoor kennel. I do allow my dog on the couch and bed and yours is welcome to do the same. However, my rules are your rules. Therefore if you prefer if your pet not to be allowed on furniture let me know so that I do not start any bad habits. While animals are in my care I will only provide them with food and treats that I get from the owner to avoid any allergies or diet issues. I am very active so I will take your pet on leashed walks, hikes, car rides, and runs! Let me know your preference and I will be sure to accommodate the needs of your pet.

“Amanda has been helping take care of our cat for the last year when we are away and she does a great job. She's great at communication and reliable.”

“Kelsey was amazing! I felt like my kitten was in good hands while I was away. I got daily photos and updates on how things were going. She even noticed some issues (her collar was catching on something) and dealt with them promptly. Would definitely book again!”

Megan E.

“Joshua did a great job taking care of our cats! We were gone for a while and there were no issues. Our cats are not the easiest to take care of, but Joshua handled the medications and needs of the cats well. We would definitely hire him again!”

About: Hello! My name is Ben. I've always been an animal guy and just love spending time with all sorts of critters. I've worked at a zoo, volunteered at an aquarium, cared for lab animals, and taken in "problem" dogs and cats throughout my life and helped them be more manageable. I wouldn't say I'm a dog or cat trainer by any means, but I get along with all animals well above the norm and I love pets of all types, scaley, feathery, and invertebrate-friends included! I'm currently unemployed and will most likely be moving out of state soon as my wife is in vet school and about to graduate. My week is regimented but highly flexible, so don't be afraid to ask for what you need! My wife and I currently have a dog named Churro and a gecko named Wobbit, both of which get stressed easily, so for now no visits at our home. As such I also have to be home at least a few times throughout the day. However, my time is quite flexible so I can spend dedicated time with your pets as needed or stop in as often as you'd like.

About: Being raised on a farm, I learned how to care every creature under the sun. I’ve raised beagles for better than 10 years now and currently have one beagle buddy named Nigel. We take walks every morning and before bed at night and have to have pretty strict rules since he's very smart and constantly wanting to follow his nose. I adjust my style to the breed and owner preferences so just let me know how you pet parent and I’ll make sure to follow the needed style. We can do play dates, but for the most part I would prefer to meet you where your pets live as they tend to do better that way. Straight forward communication gets the best pet care resulting in happy pups! Currently, booking all types for Hallsville area only. I will book the boarding option for Columbia area and can meet for pick up and drop off I have fenced back yard for running/playing. I treat your furbies like family and send videos so you know how they are doing. I want to make sure your pet gets something like a vacation while you're away
