Pet Sitting in Centralia

“Mary is great! She has been coming to check in on our puppy during the day while we’re at work. She is obviously a big animal lover and we have been very comfortable having her take care of our little guy! I would definitely recommend her to anyone who needs pet care.”

About: I have taken care of animals since I was little. I've been an animal lover since I was born. I am ver patient and do good with animals. I am available on weekends and weekdays when I'm not working. Just text me and I'll let you know if I am available. I can walk even when it is a bit dark. I always make to check on them every once in awhile to make sure they are good. I make sure to give lots of cuddles. For dogs, I make sure to occasionally see if they need to go outside. Water is always available.

About: I grew up with dogs and cats, and have always taken care of family and friend's fur babies. From elderly dogs that have to be carried down the stairs to a tiny kitten still bottle feeding. When I heard about Rover and saw there was no one registered in Mexico, I thought I would see if there was anyone I could help with their pets. I have some health issues, so I only clean a few houses part time. That means I have a very flexible schedule to take care of your pets. I'm more than happy to learn all your pets little quirks and routines, to keep them feeling safe and happy when you can't be there for them. And will treat any pet as my own.

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

About: I have many years of experience taking care of my own pets. Occasionally over the years, I have taken care of friends pets. Dogs, cats, guinea pigs, chinchillas, parrots, fish, chickens, and horses are all on my list. I love animals, and I love to put owners' minds at ease just knowing that their pet is ok, or can go to the bathroom, stretch their legs, and receive some attention mid-day while they are at work! I am currently working full time, so I look forward to fitting my first pet visits into my lunch hour or after work and see how things go! I have a home with 1 docile dog, and 2 older kids who have been taught how to be respectful of animals. I have several acres of land, but it's not fenced so walks would be on a leash. I have a pond, if your dog likes to swim.

“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 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.

“Lana is always trustworthy and willing to show up for our pets! She plays with them, spends quality time with them and genuinely cares. She always our go-to for sitting when we have to go out of town.”

“Amanda was just THE BEST. The first time she met Hoss, my cat, they bonded. Hoss loves to play fetch and chase the dot and the two of the got right to it. Hoss likes the treats in a tube but would only eat then from the bowl till Amanda got to eat them from her hand. She knows how to make our pets comfortable and provided a lap to curl up on. Hoss would meet her at the door and tell her about his day. If your looking for someone watch your pet I'd recommend Amanda. So does Hoss”

“I needed someone to feed my kitties for a full week over New Years and Alissa was amazing! She was super responsive and easy to work with. She made me feel reassured and sent so many pics while I was gone! I'll for sure ask her to check in on my pets any time :)”

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.

About: I have spent my whole life caring for and appreciating our furry friends. I understand how precious a relationship is with pets and how stressful it can be to leave them, even for just a few days. Every second of my life, I have lived and loved cats with their unique personalities. I have cared for kittens all the way up to 20 year old cats, and am willing take special care of them. I can administer medication, measure food to the gram if necessary, or just hang out and play for a while. I additionally have plenty of experience caring for dogs. I grew up with 3 miniature Dachshunds, but I spent lots of time caring for my neighbors Golden Retrievers. Over the years, I have gathered plenty of experience with all types of dogs, including caring for my own Golden Doodle since she was a puppy. Currently I am more than happy to: -Come by for drop in visits for play time, care, and interaction -Walk dogs and exercise -Updates and photos to ease the stress of leaving your pets Please let me know if you have any questions and I look forward to meeting you and your furry friends! I am generally free all weekend and in the mornings and evenings throughout the week. My schedule is usually pretty flexible though, so drop bys during the day would be possible. I'm more than happy to work to adapt to whatever schedule fits your pets needs best. Pets are always the most comfortable at home and sticking to their routine. Detailed instructions are definitely encouraged as I want to try keep their day as regular as possible to avoid any extra stress. I will be respectful of your property and ensure it stays the same as when you left.

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.

About: When I was younger we raised Pit Bulls and I was very involved with the raising, training and caring for them. As an adult I have had several small breeds thru the years and loved every one of them. I also had a cat for 18 wonderful years and several horses thru the years. They are all like my kids! I work from home most of the time (I'd say about 80% of the time). Occasionally find myself needing to work onsite in Columbia or the surrounding areas. I would not schedule an overnight during those times just so I can be sure to give 100% of my time to our guest. I live out in the country but we do not have a fenced yard that would contain a dog. My littles go out on a tether most times however we do walk the country road on leash and we frequent the dog park in Fulton. I would be sure and hand walk your baby throughout the day. My two littles are the center of my universe. I have a long haired Doxie and a Pomeranian mix, both males both fixed and utd on all their vaccinations. I believe that dogs are to be spoiled and loved on as much as possible. My guys go where I go, they sit on furniture, sleep in my bed and run the house. When I am not home they are secured in one room of the house with tile floor just in case of accidents. I have a lot of love and time to give to any guest we may have in our 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.

“Jennifer did such a wonderful job with my dogs and was so easy to work with. I had forgotten to send her the code to our house in the morning, entirely my fault but she made the effort to get back out there and let them out even when though it was outside the time I had scheduled! We will definitely book with her again, we love the pictures for updates when we are gone!”

About: Hello! My name is Sarah and I am an animal science major at the University of Missouri-Columbia, and I love getting to work with a variety of animals. Not only did I grow up on a farm with cattle, pigs, turkeys, dogs, and cats, I also have three years of experience working with more exotic animals at a science and animal camp. I have had the pleasure of working with llamas, snakes, emus, and my favorite animal, the ring-tailed lemur. At camp we have over 100 different species of animals. I would love the opportunity to work with and get to know all of your furry, or not so furry, friends. I signed up to work for Rover to earn an extra income to save for graduate school which I plan to attend next fall. I currently work full time during the week, however I am local to Columbia and have a substantial break during the day if I would need to let any pets out. Weekends for me are completely free and I would love to watch your furry companions if you need a weekend getaway. In my home I have the ability to put gates up on my stairs as well as space for a kennel if necessary. I like to take morning and evening walks around my neighborhood and have plenty of toys to keep your pet entertained. Working as a veterinary assistant has made me conscious of actions, behaviors, and the importance of providing excellent care to all pets, large and small. I have a large, unfenced yard where your pet could play with deer or even the neighborhood cat Milo. I am also able to provide a crate for your pet if necessary.

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. I’m experiencing in providing a wide variety of care. Your puppy is still crate training? I can help! Your senior cat needs medication? I can do it! Your socially awkward pet doesn’t like people? That’s okay! I have so much love and care to give to your animals! 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.

About: I have a genuine love for animals and provide reliable, attentive care tailored to each pet’s individual needs. I primarily focus on dog walking and drop-in visits, ensuring pets receive consistent exercise, companionship, and routine while their owners are away. I also offer occasional boarding in a calm, safe environment when needed. I am comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and energy levels, as well as cats with a variety of personalities—from playful and social to shy and independent. I have experience working with puppies who are still learning leash manners and basic training, and I am patient and attentive with senior pets who may need slower walks, extra monitoring, or medication to be administered as directed. I am currently working part time, and am available during the week for walks and drop-ins any time before 8 a.m. and after 3 p.m. I am also available on weekends for any of your dog care needs. When caring for pets in my home, safety and supervision are always my top priorities. I have a large backyard that is unfenced, so all outdoor time is fully supervised and leash-controlled unless otherwise discussed and approved by the owner. Dogs are never left unattended outside. Walks, potty breaks, and playtime are structured to ensure each pet’s safety and comfort. Inside my home, pets are treated as part of the family while still maintaining their normal routines as closely as possible. I follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any specific care guidelines provided by the owner. I also ensure pets have appropriate rest time and a calm environment, especially for senior pets or those who may be more anxious. I have a friendly, well-socialized Golden Retriever who does very well with other dogs. All interactions are closely monitored, and I am selective about compatibility to ensure a positive experience for everyone. I also have an 8-year-old daughter who has grown up around animals and understands how to interact respectfully and gently with pets. Pets are never left unsupervised with children. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routines carefully, including walks, feeding, litter box maintenance, playtime, and home security expectations. I provide regular updates so owners feel confident their pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for.
