Columbia, MO Pet & Home Services
Peace Love Paws Pet Sitters provides professional pet care and home safety services in Columbia, MO. Since 2018, we have specialized in the cases other providers turn away: cats who need a patient, cat-savvy sitter, pets with medical or behavioral special needs, and homes that deserve more than a simple “check-in” while you travel.
We are licensed by the Missouri Department of Agriculture (License #AC002K4J), insured, bonded, and PSI certified. In 2024, we were named Pet Sitters International (PSI) Pet Sitter of the Year.
In-Home Cat Sitting
Starting at $25 per visit
Professional, in-home cat sitting visits tailored to your cat’s personality, health, and routine. Every visit includes litter box care, fresh water, feeding, playtime or enrichment, and a photo update sent directly to you.
We require daily visits – no exceptions – because your cat’s safety is non-negotiable. Our team has over a decade of feline-specific experience, including running a cat rescue since 2010 and caring for 28 cats of our own. We also administer medications such as insulin, thyroid meds, and sub-q fluids at no extra charge.
Pricing:
- 30-minute visit: $25
- 45-minute visit: $35
- 60-minute visit: $45
Special Needs Pet Boarding
$50–$100 per day (determined by your pet’s individual needs)
In-home boarding for dogs and cats with medical, behavioral, or age-related special needs. We provide overnight, weekly, and extended stays in our licensed, state-inspected home — not a kennel, not a facility, and not a rotating cast of unfamiliar sitters.
We care for pets that most boarding facilities cannot accommodate, including those requiring insulin administration, post-surgery monitoring, anxiety management, and mobility support. Every boarding stay begins with an on-site orientation, a signed care plan, and a required 24-hour trial stay at least two weeks before your trip.
Home Safety Security Visits
Starting at $25 per visit
Professional home safety checks for homeowners traveling without pets. This service is run by retired, double-certified home inspectors with ten years of inspection experience in Columbia, MO.
We go far beyond collecting mail. Depending on your plan, we check HVAC systems, water heaters, sump pumps, electrical panels, and all water sources for leaks. Our exterior inspections cover fencing, tree damage, and storm-related property damage, with documentation you can share with your insurance company if needed.
Visit options:
- Basic visit (mail, packages, lights, blinds, plants): $25
- Interior visit (all basic items + HVAC, water heater, sump pump, leak checks): $30
- Interior & exterior visit (full property inspection inside and out): $40
