Dog Sitting Columbia

“Hanna was great! She took such good care of Aspen and even watched her favorite show (cat TV) with her!”

“Zoe helped watch our dogs while we were on vacation and did a great job. Dogs seemed to be well cared for and we appreciated the photos and detail about her visits with them. Our dogs can be a bit challenging with their medicines and reactive and she handled it all flawlessly. Would highly recommend her!”

“Based on the photos provided, Emilia and Mishka had a good time. No surprise since the"get to know Mishka visit went so well. Will definitely book with Emila again. Thanks.”

“Was able to look after my grumpy old lady’s for a couple days. Went above and beyond for them, even though the pups were not happy about it. 🤣”

About: I’ve been taking care of two very stubborn cats since I was little, and recently got one of my own. She’s also a bit of a handful, but I love her dearly and have greatly appreciated being her human. Aside from this, I’ve taken care of several really old dogs with good care. The good thing about me is I’m almost entirely flexible! Need me for night stays, I’m there. Need check ins throughout the day, I’m there! I have little tying me down and am happy to help out. I always take care to ensure my apartment is completely safe for my cat Sarah; I always double check the door is locked tight before leaving. I’ll be supervising your pet the entire time, monitoring carefully and attending to their needs.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and have years of hands-on experience caring for animals. Currently, I have two dogs and a cat, so I’m very comfortable with a wide range of pet personalities and needs. I’m experienced with feeding routines, playtime, basic care, and reading animal behavior. I’m happy to go on walks, take dogs to the park for exercise and socialization, and make sure they get plenty of attention and care while you’re away. I’m also open to caring for other types of animals and can provide those services at my cat care rate. My daily routine revolves around being a stay-at-home mom to my two children and our animals. Most of my days are spent at home playing with my daughter while my son is at preschool, which gives me plenty of flexibility and availability to care for other pets. I’m looking to fill that time doing something I love—taking care of animals—while earning a little extra fun money on the side. I treat every home and pet like they’re my own. I stick to your pet’s usual routine as much as possible, so they feel safe and stress-free, and I make sure they get lots of love, attention, and playtime. I’m very respectful of your space and keep everything clean and in order. I also love sending updates and pictures, so you know your pet is happy and well cared for!

“Ray was absolutely wonderful with my dog Lana! He kept me updated and sent me plenty of pictures of their adventures together. I will definitely be hiring Ray again.”

“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!”

About: I have had pets since I was 12 years old. I now have a Shiba Inu. I have always taken care of my friends’ pets whenever they travel. I am a journalist working mostly from home, so I have time during weekdays (early morning, lunch break and evening) and especially on the weekends. I usually play fetch game and tug of war with my dogs, or when they are comfortable, I let them lie down and rub their bellies.

“Claire and Weston have been amazing; they truly go above & beyond. I feel fortunate to have found them to look after my doggie. Couldn't recommend more!”

About: I have taken care of many animals in my lifetime weather it being my neighbors or the animals at my jobs. I am very reliable with animals, and I have experience because I have worked at a dog boarding place for 2 years! At this moment my availability is some what I work at a restaurant so that could interfere if it’s an earlier notice I’ll be able to fit you in my schedule easier! From past experiences I have gotten a list of chores that needs to be done for the animals (example: walking times, feeding times, playing time, etc).

About: I currently own 3 energetic dogs that adore! I am responsible for all aspects of their care. I have also dog sat for friends and family in the past. I am a graduate student so there are some times that I am not available, but most weekends and early morning and nights I can be available! I usually have breaks between classes that I can be available to check in on or walk your pet. At a client’s home you can count on me to make sure your animal is safe, loved, and cared for. I will do everything in my power to make sure the animal feels comfortable and not too out of routine.

“Olivia did an excellent job on her drop in visits with Griffin filling in while his regular Rover person was out of town. And as an added bonus, she brought her dog along a few times for playtime!”

“Jennie was awesome! She sent lots of pictures and her interactions with our pets was great! Communication was very easy and she was quick to respond to any questions I had. I will definitely book with Jennie again when needed!”

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for pets comes very naturally to me. I grew up in a home with multiple dogs — many of them rescues and foster dogs — so I’m very comfortable with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. I also helped raise and train puppies, giving me experience with younger dogs and basic training reinforcement. I’ve also helped care for senior dogs, including my own dog who lived to 17, so I understand the extra patience, attentiveness, and gentle care older pets may need. In addition to caring for my own pets, I’ve house sat and pet sat for families and friends for years, caring for both dogs and cats. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, or simply keeping pets company while their owners are away, I always make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I treat every animal like they’re my own. I’m a recent college graduate and have a very flexible schedule this summer, so I’m available for pet sitting, drop-in visits, walks, and overnight care throughout the week. I currently work at a Pilates studio on Tuesday and Thursday evenings, but outside of those hours I’m available and able to give pets plenty of attention, care, and companionship. I always try to keep pets comfortable by maintaining their normal routines and giving them lots of attention, patience, and care. In a client’s home, I make sure pets are fed on schedule, get plenty of exercise and playtime, and feel safe while their owners are away. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual personality and needs, whether that means high energy walks, extra cuddles, or a calmer environment for senior pets. I also make sure homes are kept clean, secure, and respected at all times. My goal is to make both pets and owners feel completely comfortable and confident while in my care.

About: I attend the Mizzou vet school + have been a vet tech/assistant for the past 4 years. I’ll keep your pets safe while also having fun with them. I’m pretty flexible on the weekends + afternoons on Wednesday, Thursdays, or Fridays! Dropping in for your pet or dog walking is something I really enjoy doing as it takes my mind off of school for a bit. I’ll ensure your requests are taken care of, if there are any. I am happy to send a rover card anytime I see your pet.

About: I have a great dane of my own at home, fostered all kinds of dogs growing up, and LOVE taking care of your sweet fur babies! I work 2 days a week with my part time job and it’s usually on the weekends. I am available at anytime during the week. I am well educated on every type of dog and I will make sure I receive your instructions to properly make your dog feel comfortable!

“Kaitlin took great care of my cats. They have some special care since they have to eat a special diet and are pretty needy. When I got home they seemed like they were in great spirits and not at all anxious (one of them struggles w/ anxiety). Kaitlin followed all the special instructions and was consistent about being on time, left good notes, and sent lots of pictures which was great because I missed them a lot being gone a whole week. Highly recommend Kaitlin to take care of your kitties!”
