“Very good caretaker of your pet; and is highly negotiable as he is very understanding of your sincere needs. Dog was very clean and smelling good when I picked him up. Thank You Dyshyn, and I look forward to working with you again.”


“Rick was absolutely amazing with our girl Scout. She had a fantastic time spending time with him and his furry friends. Communication was top notch with plenty of great pictures. It is easy to tell that he truly cares about animals and is not just looking for an extra dollar, which is really what people should be looking for. I cannot recommend him enough! If I could give more stars, I definitely would!”


“Makenzie was a great dog sitter. She sent us pictures of our little girl and always responded to our emails. Thank you Makenzie. I'm sure we will see you again.”



“Stephanie is amazing!! After meeting her and seeing her lovely home and great yard, along with her flexible schedule, I was willing to drive about an hour from my home because I knew my dogs would receive excellent care. Stephanie was totally worth it!! She provided daily updates and photos, and I could see my dogs were happy. Then something happened that makes Stephanie the best dog sitter I've ever had: I was stuck in Houston during hurricane Harvey, and could not get a flight back home for 5 days. I reached out to Stephanie to see if I needed to arrange for someone to pick up my dogs from her, but she agreed to extend the stay until I could return!!! This was also Labor Day weekend, so I was amazed by how accommodating and understanding she was. I picked up my dogs as soon as I got back, and they had clearly loved their time with Stephanie. I can't thank her enough!”


“Highly recommend Julia. She helped me out last minute and kept me informed throughout stay. Shared pictures and videos. My dog had a blast playing with her dogs and she embraced my high energy pup.”


“Melinda was great with my dogs. She has a huge back yard that they can run in. She loved on them everyday. She played with them and let them sleep in the bed. She has a dog door where my pups could go in and out as they wished. She has plenty of toys for the dogs to play with and even bought them some new ones while they were with her. She would play fetch with them everyday. I would highly recommend her to watch your dogs. My dogs were treated like royalty when they were with Melinda. I will definitely use her again.”


“The best sitter you could ask for. Amazing communication and great to work with. Was able to work with my flight delay back home. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter!”


“We consider ourselves lucky to have found Tara to keep our puppy while we vacationed. She is kind and attentive. Her house and yard are a dog's dream. She communicated with us often and sent several pictures. I wouldn't hesitate to leave our fur-baby there again when we need to travel.”

About: I have taken care for pets since I was 16. Usually for friends and family. I feel ready to expand and care for others’ pets. I grew up around dogs and cats and have always known that I love them. I’m entering my senior year of college for education. I run track for semo, leaving me with lots of time to care for your pets. I don’t have a fenced yard but I live on a very safe street where many walks can be provided. I also can easily crate your pet if needed. I don’t mind to travel to a park to get some running in .

About: I understand how much dogs miss their owners when they aren't around. I would love to help take care of yours, like its my own if you can't be there. I have had a dog(s) my entire life. I treat them like humans as much as possible. I will follow directions for walks, medications, or any special needs that your dog may have. We currently have 2 dogs, one is high energy and one is very low key. Sometimes they have different needs, I understand that all dogs are different and will provide the best care I can. I will be available by phone so that you can call and check on your pet at any time. If an emergency arises I will definitely let you know and take them to the vet of your choice. I am available evenings and weekends to help care for your animals. I'm happy to stop in to feed them, take them on a walk and give them any meds necessary. It usually requires a three day notice. I do realize that things happen so text or call me if an emergency arises and I will see what I can do. It won't let you book within be the three day notice so if this happens please text me and I will update my settings so you can book it. I typically walk my dog twice daily and let them out as needed. We do use a crate for training and to keep contained when we are away if needed. We have trained both of our dogs to let us know when they need to go out, so we no longer use the crate.

“Noel U. was amazing with Milly! She got in lots of socialization, several walks a day, and had a great time playing in the awesome backyard. His dog was so sweet and got along great with Milly. He also helped with her potty training and kept me updated every day. Highly recommend!”


“Leann was extremely helpful and went above and beyond what I would expect of a house boarder. Definitely would recommend and will be picking her and her wonderful family to watch my senior dog.”


About: I'm masters student in biology with professional pet care experience from working as an Animal Care Technician/Kennel Assistant at Franklin County Animal Hospital. Here, I primarily cared for boarded cats and dogs by giving medication by injection, orally, and other routes. Additionally, I fed animals as directed to ensured they actually ate, cleaned kennel spaces, and had playtime with dogs after their walks. I grew up with cats and have had the main responsibility of training dogs in my family for all of my life (the origin of my 20 years experience)! In regards to dogs, I've raised 5 huskies from birth all the way up to adulthood. Currently, I have 2 well-trained dogs that LOVE to meet new people and pets: Nirvana, a mini Texas Heeler and Remi, a Husky mix. If we're not at home, we're probably off on a walk, hiking, swimming, or doing a photoshoot somewhere in the Shawnee Forest. I love to meet people's pets! Whether your pet stays at my pet-friendly apartment with a large front yard, I'm at your place overnight, or I'm simply dropping in/taking your pet on a walk I can promise professionalism and that you're pet will have a great time! Currently, I can be available most days before 9:30 am and every day after 7 pm. Of course, this schedule can change depending on the dates/times I'm needed! At my home, I can ensure pets are in a safe environment by walking them in my large front and side yard of my apartment complex and/or in a safe area of town near Trinity Christian School. Additionally, I can ensure your pets safety by only allowing interactions with my pets while supervised and can provide a kennel space if one is not provided. At your home, I can follow specific directions on where dogs like to go, how animals prefer to be interacted with, and discuss the preferred length of time you'd prefer me to be in your home. Really, this portion is all up to you! I value mutual respect above all else and while I will conduct myself as such regardless, your preferences are really all that matters!

About: I grew up with a houseful of dogs and I’ve had my own since I was 14. I am a remote employee with a house and a fenced in backyard that would love to take care of your fur baby for you! I’ve been pet sitting for friends and family for over 10 years and have experience with giving meds, senior care, potty training, and puppies! I am a remote employee so I’ll be home all day with your pet! I have a large finished basement and a large fenced in backyard so your pet will have plenty of room to roam, play, and rest while in my care. I have cameras in all areas so I can check on them if I have to step away! I have a fenced In yard and a large home. I have a 1 year old spayed Husky named Luna that gets along well with everyone! She loves to play and make new friends. I work from home so your pet would not be left alone for an extended time during their stay!

About: 👋🏽 helloooooo, my name is Eve. I’ve had pets my entire life, and have always been an animal lover. I currently have two rescue pups, Ivy and Buddy . Ivy is a high-energy Australian Shepherd Hound mix. I keep her stimulated with toys/activities and walks throughout the day. Buddy was completely deaf when I rescued him. He’s about 65lbs, and a bit reactive on walks, so I have experience with reactivity and larger breeds. The past few years, I’ve cared for pets for family and friends alike. I decided to take my experience to the next level and offer services via Rover and through online platforms as well. This past year, I’ve started volunteering at a local horse boarding facility, caring for horses of all ages with various temperaments. I’ve gained experience with feeding, grooming, mucking, as well as riding. Through my time with the horses, I have gained a deep love and understanding for them. Aside from horses, I’ve worked with other farm animals as well including goats, chickens, donkeys, ponies, and farm cats and dogs. I am a true animal lover. I am currently working remotely, so I would be able to easily find time throughout my day to check on your babies. Thank you for taking the time to read my bio, if you feel even a slight connection with me please reach out. Peace and love. I am available everyday of the week, except for after 5:30pm on Tuesday’s and Thursday’s. I can check on your pet throughout the day for walks or simply for hanging time. If needed, I’m able to provide animals the proper medication for their individual needs. I’ll always ensure that your fur babies are safe and given adequate attention! I love to give periodic picture updates while going on walks or during play time.
