House Sitting in Cape Girardeau

About: I’m Amy - a huge animal lover and would be happy to care for your pet(s) as well as I care for my own! I understand how hard it is to leave your pets while traveling or vacationing, or even during the workday, which is why I started on Rover. I have a very open availability and am flexible for walks, drop-in visits, and house-sitting. I worked in a veterinary clinic for 2 years where I learned a lot about health and wellness of cats and dogs. I also have experience administering medication, handling special needs/health issues, and basic training. I promise to provide kind, loving, patient care for your pet, and open communication! I currently have a very open/flexible schedule. Please reach out about any times/dates you may need care for your pets and I hope I can help fit your needs! Aaron (my husband) and I have one dog and two cats that we’ve had for over 9 years. We love being outside, being active and taking our dog, Bella, for walks. I am very detail oriented and promise to always be 100% respectful of your home, property, and pets.

“Emily was wonderful! She took very good care of Bruce and of our house. She sent updates and pictures and it went really well. We will definitely be hiring Emily again and I would very much recommend her.”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my whole life and I absolutely love them! I’ve worked with kittens, puppy’s, full grown cats, and full grown dogs. I have bigger dogs myself, so I know how to work with them! I am currently a college student, but will be home for the summer. I’d love to make some extra money and I love all pets! I will be able to tend to your pets almost every single day as well as stay for over 30 minutes if needed! I have 4 pets myself (2 cats/2 dogs) and they get alone just fine. I would prefer to not have any extra pets at my house but I would be just fine with helping with your pets at your home!

About: I have owned dogs for over 18 years. I currently have 3 girls, Bella, Pearl, and Penny. I love taking them for walks and playing with them and snuggling them. I am a mature and responsible dog owner and I will take care of yours like they are my own! I work part time so I am available to check in on your pets at your home or spend time with them if they come to stay at my house. My family loves having extra furry friends come stay and my dogs like making new friends too! I know how to block a door and not let an excited pup out without a leash! I am used to my dogs pulling in different directions and I am confident that I will not let your dog get away from me while on a walk.

“Skyler was excellent with our dogs and home. He was prompt and communicative. Would definitely recommend!”

About: I am a credentialed Veterinary Technician with a special interest in behavior and training. I have been in the veterinary field since 1991. I am no longer in a veterinary office but still do in-home behavior consulting as well as care for pets in my home. I do everything from potty training puppies to basic training for Service Dogs. I can administer medications, injections, and fluids prescribed by your veterinarian. In addition to working from home for Animal Behavior Network, I am a yoga and fitness instructor. I leave from 1-3 hours at a time Mon thru Thursday to drop off or pick up my son from school, to teach a morning class, or to drop in on a dog/cat/bird/rabbit, etc for routine care. I am gone Fridays for up to 4 hours in the morning because I teach back-to-back classes. My husband also works from home, so we have the flexibility to always have someone at home if your pet needs this. I try to stick to your schedule for feeding, walks, and bedtime. Your dog will have as much outdoor supervised playtime as they want, weather permitting. As a positive reward-based pet trainer, I find it hard to interact with pets without teaching them something new and fun while they stay with me. We do this through interactive game time. I prefer to feed through food puzzles which you will see in my photos, but I do have bowls if your pet prefers. I have a large fenced yard with a large section of field turf, toys, and a sandbox to keep your pet entertained when they go out to play. I have 3 well-behaved dogs who can be kept separate from your pets or with them. I have an upstairs and downstairs area where pets can be separated or kenneled if desired or needed. My 13-year old son loves dogs and loves to play and cuddle with them if your pet likes children. If your pet doesn't care for children, he also respects their individuality and desire to be left alone. If your pet likes to go on walks, the neighborhood is quiet, or we can go down to the paved trail where there are bicycles, lots of people, and other dogs to see. Your pet's comfort and mental state are always my # 1 priority. Over the years, I have learned not all dogs are comfortable the first visit away from home in a new environment with new smells. So, I always let their attitude lead to how much interaction they want from other dogs. If they are playful and relaxed and show no anxiety, I will introduce them first through a fence and then one-on-one with leashes to my dogs before they get to play together. This is the safest way to introduce dogs. If they are showing anxiety, I will keep them separated until they are comfortable. Most dogs readily acclimate to a new environment within a few hours. Your dog will never be left unsupervised with another dog (mine included). In the winter, your dog(s) may be the only visitors; however, I have many frequent visitors the rest of the year, who love to play with one another!

“Very easy stay, everything worked out well. Highly recommended!”

“Adrienne was fantastic! Our three pets were instantly comfortable with her, and she went out of her way to make sure everyone was happy and felt safe. She kept us updated with photos, and we will definitely book her again. I can't recommend her enough!”

About: Animal Science major who has been apart of a household with pets most of my life. I have experience with dogs of all ages, shapes and sizes along with enrichment training, fostering, pet sitting, walking and more. I've dealt with emergency scenarios with my own pets and will care for yours as if it was my own. I love all the pets and am always excited to meet more! I am currently only working under contracts and my schedule is currently very open. I am used to walking and caring for pets. Caring for pets fits in right along with my regular routine! I have a lard fenced in yard along with two friendly dogs. One is 7 year old male who is lazy and loves everyone, the other is a 1 year old border collie mix who's loves to play! Capable of keeping them separate when necessary or unsupervised. Very customizable to your pets wants and needs! I will put your pets first and make sure they have the best experience possible.

About: I would love to take care of your fur babies! I have always grown up around animals and always took in sick animals in need of care. Our house was never a stranger to any animal, so I have a lot of experience on animal needs and animal body language! My Fiancé and I have a cat named Marty and a dog named Pumpkin! Pumpkin is a 100lb puppy, so you can be absolutely sure I can walk your large fur babies with no problem! I have also grown up with a lot of dogs under 30lbs, so walking smaller dogs is no issue either. I carry with me poop baggies, treats, and a portable water bowl on dog walks. They will be well taken care of and made sure they can enjoy their walk without being bored or thirsty! I hope to meet you and your fur babies soon! I would love to take them on a walk or just provide general care to them, and I am sure they will appreciate it too! I am available all through the week and work weekends. I can take your baby(s) on a walk any time needed. I would love to spend more time getting out into nature and let your baby do the same! I plan to walk your dogs at a park or somewhere dog friendly and safe! If there is a certain place they love to walk above all the rest, I can take them there too!

About: I have been pet sitting for neighbors and family friends over the summer for years now. I love pets of all sizes and breeds and I’ll treat them like my own. I am home for the summer looking for a way to make money for school and what better way than being surrounded by the cutest fur babies! I have morning and midday availability throughout the week, but I am available on Sunday mornings or Mondays. I work nights for a prospect league baseball team while I’m home but aside from that my top priority will be your companions! I have two sweet pups of my own that I take for walks, feed, and cuddle with. I am willing to do lots of services and will keep them entertained.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my attention to detail, calm demeanor, and experience with a wide range of pet needs—including puppy training, senior pet care, and administering medication. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality, routine, and specific care requirements, which helps them feel safe and at ease while their owners are away. I’ve worked with pets of all ages and temperaments, including shy rescues and high-energy breeds, and I adapt my approach to suit their individual needs. For senior pets, I provide gentle care, monitor mobility, and ensure they’re comfortable at all times. For puppies, I reinforce basic training, encourage positive behaviors, and provide consistent structure. I treat every pet like my own—with patience, compassion, and professionalism—and I always keep open communication with pet parents for peace of mind. Pet care is a consistent part of my daily and weekly routine. I ensure pets are fed on schedule, have access to clean water, and receive attention through walks, playtime, or grooming, depending on their needs. I prioritize their well-being by observing their behavior and health regularly. Weekly, I handle deeper tasks like cleaning living areas, restocking supplies, and grooming. Caring for animals is second nature to me, and I incorporate it into my routine with the same importance as any other essential responsibility. It reflects my commitment to their health, comfort, and happiness. I have 3 dogs of my own so I understand needing a break! I’m here to do my best and support you at the same time. My dogs each have their own schedules, giving their differences. We make sure they have regular doctor appointments, We walk everyday, We practice socializing and being around other fur babies to practice desensitizing. We follow certain diets and procedures to maintain proper health. And last but not least we take a bath every sunday go maintain our hygiene ❤️
