Pet Sitting in Youngers

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.

“Ellie is amazing ! She took such good care of our dog and gave us lots of updates ! She was always on time and spend a lot of time with him during her check ins . We will definitely use Ellie again !”

About: I provide both cat and dog services. I understand what it's like to need that last minute assistance with making sure your pet friends are taken care of while you're out of town. I am more than happy to help you out! As a cat owner myself, I care for my cats daily. We have cuddles, playtime, outdoor time, feeding time, and chill time daily. I make sure to spend a bit of quality time (when they allow it) with each cat daily. For myself, I feed my cats a measured amount of food (some have a specific diet) twice daily. I administer any necessary meds, change litter boxes, clean up any cat messes (vomit/fecal mess), let the cats go outside for supervised wandering, and more. For clients, I will work with you to determine how best to tailor my services to your kitty's needs. I work full-time, so feeding times will be before and after I get off work.

“Adrienna did amazing dropping in on our dog for a few days. She would send pictures of him and update us on how he was doing. I would highly recommend her to anyone and will be using her again in the future!”

“Thank you Mary for giving the hubby and I a weekend of fun without having to worry. You went above and beyond to make sure our bunch and our home was safe and taken care of. Look out for that re-booking, we are planning more trips. Now that we know who we can count on 🥰”

“Kennedy was fantastic. Would definitely use her again!”

Lindsay P.

“Hailea was great! She communicated regularly about my kitties and sent great photos. When I got home, they seemed well taken care of and happy. I will be booking with Hailea again!”

“Lana is always amazing with our dogs. She gives them so much love and attention while we were away. She even asked if we needed the garbage out and took our packages in. She made us feel so at ease while on vacation”

“Alora was a life saver covering our pups during the holiday! She was reliable and handled our pups well!”

Julie S.

“Taylor was amazing, as usual - not only with my older dog who she has cared for before, but a brand new to our home puppy. Taylor was a great communicator, prompt to each and every visit, stayed the allotted time engaging with the dogs (even the cats made their way into a couple of pictures,) she sent many pictures, and even cleaned up a few puppy accidents. Thank you Taylor, it's nice to have someone you can trust with your furbabies (and your home).”

About: I have several years of hands-on pet care experience from family and friends with dogs and cats. I’ve provided daily walks, multiple feedings, grooming, and basic training for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I’m comfortable with senior pets and those requiring medication, and I’ve also cared for anxious or high-energy dogs with patience and consistency. In addition, I’ve done overnight stays, ensuring pets maintain their routine in a stress-free environment. I genuinely love animals and treat every pet as if they were my own, always focused on their comfort, safety, and happiness. I work from home during normal business hours with leniency in needing to step away during the day. Also willing to work from the pets home if WiFi is available! I tend to stay pretty flexible. Either way, they’ll be treated like my own pet which is very heavy on the cuddles, kisses and treats. My pup, Roxie, loves being outside- so if your dog loves it outside also then that’s where we’ll be! If they like to be a couch potato, that’s my spirit animal and I’ll make sure they’re all comfy and well veg it out together! Currently in my home there are 2 other pups also that are very friendly and 2 other people that also love animals! I do not have the set up for cats, as I don’t currently have my own but have had cats in the past and can also care for them. Familiar with litter boxes and giving medication to cats, also.

About: I’ve been a relied upon neighborhood pet sitter for dogs, cats, chickens, and reptiles for at least 12 years. Ive also fostered “bottle baby” kittens on and off for my local humane society for 3 years. I have learned how to read the body language of and understand the needs of many species of pets, and I understand the importance of listening to human direction while working with pets. I am currently between jobs and about to engage in a short term Americorps VISTA position out of state between June and August. I often pick up local volunteer shifts at the Central MO Humane Society and at Columbia Center for Urban Agriculture, however my schedule is very flexible. I am very experienced in working within clients’ homes, whether it has been for pet sitting, house cleaning, or even entering homes to provide social services. Every home and homeowner is unique, and I pride myself in my ability to leave spaces at least as wonderful as I find them.

“Always feel comfortable leaving our dog with her.”

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.

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

“Kamryn was prompt and quick to respond for booking and during the drop in visit. I can tell from the photos she sent that my pups warmed right up to her! Would definitely book with her again!”

“Ali was awesome. She set up a meet and greet for our dog Mia. Mia liked her right away. Ali was very detailed and provided updates and pictures of drop ins each time. Highly recommend Ali. She is very dependable.”

About: I’m a HUGE animal lover and have experience taking care of all sorts of animals, from dogs, to cats, spiders, bunnies, frogs, and more! I have six cats of my own and foster medically fragile/behaviorally challenged cats from the Humane Society. It brings me so much joy when I see a cat truly start to thrive again. Because of how long I’ve been caring for animals, I’m experienced in providing a wide variety of care. Your puppy is still crate training? I can help! Your senior four-legged friend needs medication? I can do it! Your socially awkward pet doesn’t like people? That’s okay! You have an animal that most people don’t know how to care for? I guarantee you that I do. Working with animals is such a fulfilling part of my life and that’s why I’ve been doing it so long! I work an incredibly flexible job, allowing me to spend quality time with your pets while you’re away. I work with my clients and around their schedules, making pet care as stress-free as possible! I usually care for pets in my client’s home, as my home is a bit of a zoo. I work hard to ensure we have trust and boundaries established so we both feel comfortable! One of the ways I do that is by doing a meet n greet beforehand. I love to get to know the pet parents and meet the pets before I start sitting.

“I had to leave my senior pups for the first time with someone who is not my mom or spouse, and I couldn't be more lucky after meeting Taylor, who cared for my pups with the same love, patience and care as I would. Thank you for giving me peace of mind by not only for tending to my babies, but for actually caring for them and me, as well as understanding how important it was for me to know they would be okay. I would give you all stars if there wasn't a cap of 5. Thank you!!”

About: I have been around pets since I was a kid. I did take care of elder dogs in the past time. I did dog-sitting the puppies. I had experience with foster dogs and my housemate in the past. I have experience with deaf dogs myself. My family and I raised a deaf dog; she is now at peace. I am currently working from home. My schedule has some flexibility that I can take care of other things such as taking care of pets. I always make sure the pets feel safe and secure in their space. I care about their boundaries in their daily routine and develop relationships with their pets.
