Pet Sitting Columbia

“Josie was really easy to work with. She even helped out my mind at ease by coming over and meeting my dogs before the actual day check to make sure it was a good fit. She provided pics and updates during the check in! I would rebook her for sure.”

“Thank you so much Lydia!! Lydia came for a meet and greet before taking care of Luna, my cat. She was so sweet and supportive, I felt at ease while away on my trip. She sent plenty of pictures and updates! Will definitely book again for any other trips :)”

“Martina was excellent! She took great care of my dog and cat, checked in diligently with pictures and details of each visit, and always responded promptly. Martina will be my first contact the next time my pets need care!”

“Karen spent an hour with my kitties with late notice and was amazing! She was friendly, her communication was good, and she took good care of my cats while I was away! I would book with her again!”

About: All of the oldest photos of me feature an animal- I have been obsessed for as long as I can remember. I began caring for cats and dogs from the time I was probably 6, as I grew up on a ranch. In college, I worked at a boarding facility caring for primarily dogs. Along with providing daily care, I also helped bathe and provide nail trims. Now, I have my dog, Harper, who is a sassy pittie mix. I lost my soul cat in June 2026, so orange cats hold a special place in my heart. I look forward to caring for your babies!! I work full time, but am able to provide care before or after work hours and on weekends! I am committed to being as flexible as possible. I am very familiar with animals that can be escape artists- I have one! I am familiar with local vets and vet hospitals. I will make sure that your babies are being cared for like they were my own.

About: I've been taking care of dogs for many years, whether that be my own dog, my neighbors dogs, or my friends dogs. I have overall had a lot of experience with many different breeds and sizes of dogs. I am well equipped and comfortable to take care of your pets needs such as feeding, bathing, walking, administering medicine, and anything else your pet might need. I am a college student, but I also have a very flexible schedule with a lot of free time during the day to take care of pets. My classes are normally mid-morning and finish in the early afternoon, leaving me with the whole morning and afternoon/evening time to be free to fit pet care into my week. In a clients home, I will be able to take care of pets the way that you would if you were home! I would be respectful of your space while also being confident and comfortable enough to take care of your pet with ease. I feel comfortable around any size pet and any breed, and will be able to adhere to the required needs of your pet.

“Shannon dropped in our two cats while we were out of town for litter box changes and food/water checks. She was responsive and communicative, and the kitties seemed happy when we got home!”

About: I have been dog-sitting for friends and acquaintances for the past couple of years. I am very accommodating and flexible. Whatever you need or request, I will do my best to fulfill it. My daily schedule gives me the flexibility to help you out anyway and anytime. I enjoy dogs of all sizes and attitudes. I work a very flexible day-to-day job that allows me to venture out and take care of your pet at most times of the day. I am also pretty flexible on days of the week and times of year to sit. I treat your pets as if they were my own. I do my best to make space for pets to choose whether they want attention or to be left alone, and try not to force contact. I also look to socialize the pet as much as I can fit in my strategy whether that is being present, going on walks, or letting them outdoors.

About: I have been fortunate to care for animals all ranges of life. My goal is to make sure your pet is taken care of with respect and love they deserve. I am currently a graduate student. I am available to meet with your pet on Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday. I am flexible with the timing to meet your needs! I have reliable transportation to meet your pet. I will follow your routine to ensure your pet stays on schedule. My home is pet friendly (one goldendoodle and one medium hair cat) with a fenced in back yard. My animals enjoy playing with others!

About: I took a very active role in caring for my family dog until he tragically passed from cancer in 2019. I have also dog-sat for neighbors’ pets with particular dietary needs. Currently, I’ve been told by roommates that I have a very calming presence with our house dog. I work part time primarily in the evenings and when not working, I often have community theater rehearsals on weeknights. During the Mizzou school year I will have some classes during the day, though for no more than a few hours at a time. My current house is not available for pet boarding unless specifically negotiated. The property has a non-fenced yard and one resident dog, who does behave well with other animals. Neighborhood is safe, well-paved, and walkable.

About: Hi! I'm a pre-vet student who has been working in a small-animal veterinary clinic for over 3 years and pet sitting for about 5 years. I absolutely love animals and enjoy getting to know each pet's unique personality! Working in a vet clinic has given me hands-on experience caring for animals, and I'm comfortable with both dogs and cats. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets, and I'll treat yours like they're my own. Whether it's going on walks, playing, sticking to their usual routine, or just giving them extra love and attention while you're away, I'm happy to help! During the school year, I would love to spend my weekends caring for your pets so I can give them plenty of time, attention, and love! During school breaks, I have much more flexibility during the week and can accommodate longer visits or more frequent pet sitting. I'm happy to work with you to find a schedule that fits your pet's needs and keeps them comfortable while you're away! I have a fenced-in yard where dogs can safely play and get some outdoor time, and there are no other pets in my home. I do have three roommates who are all comfortable around dogs and would be happy to give your pup some extra love! I'm also able to crate your dog if needed and will always follow your instructions to help them feel safe and comfortable. If your pet is more comfortable in their own environment, I'm happy to stay at your home or do drop-in visits instead. My goal is to make sure your pet feels loved, safe, and as comfortable as possible while you're away!

“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. 🤣”

“Rylie was amazing! She had excellent communication and kept us updated throughout our vacation with messages and photos of our pets. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such caring hands. She took them on walks, gave them plenty of love and attention, and made sure they were happy and well cared for. We couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter and would highly recommend her!”

About: I love all kinds of animals! I have owned and cared for a wide range and animal's. My goal is to make animals have a great life. I am a full time student at Mizzou but my schedule allows for plenty of time through the day. I have many gaps between classes so I can check on anything in the middle of the day. I have lots of experience with many ages and levels of trainings of animals I have watched for friends. I am always up for a challenge and I am confident in taking care of your animals.

“Donna is a sweet lady. I appreciate her help.”

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 schedule is pretty full so it might be harder for me to be at your house during the week day but my weekends are typically open and we might be able to work out a schedule for the weekdays! 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.

“Kaila was so great with my new puppy!!! After a not so great experience with my first rover sitter, I was skeptical of having another sitter come help me watch my dog while I was at work. While there she was very attentive and caring to my new puppy! She even helped train with her for a little bit and sent continuous updates while there. My puppy absolutely loves her and I was grateful she was able to come help me with her :)”

About: I’ve been caring for pets since 2019, when I started helping my mom with her dog-sitting business. Since then, I’ve gained experience caring for dogs for friends, family, and acquaintances, including overnight stays. I’ve cared for dogs with all kinds of personalities and energy levels, and I love getting to know each pet’s unique quirks and routine. I’m happy to help with walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, and keeping them company while you’re away. I also have three pets of my own, so I understand how much our furry family members mean to us and how important it is to have someone you can trust. Whether your pup is an energetic ball of zoomies, a professional napper, or a little bit of both, I’m always excited to meet a new four-legged friend! I love a good cuddle buddy just as much as an excited fur baby ready to play, and I’ll make sure every dog in my care feels safe, happy, and loved. 🐾💕 Hi! My name is Aurora, and I’m a reliable, caring, and responsible pet sitter who genuinely enjoys spending time with animals. I have several years of experience caring for pets, including experience helping my mom as a Rover pet sitter as well as caring for dogs for family, friends, and other clients. I currently work part-time from Sunday through Wednesday, with shifts that typically fall between 2 PM–10 PM or 4 PM–10 PM. Because of this, I have the most availability Thursday through Saturday, as well as mornings and earlier parts of the day on my workdays. I’m happy to communicate about my schedule ahead of time to make sure I can provide your pet with the time and attention they deserve. Every pet is different, so I believe the best care starts with getting to know their personality and routine. For dogs, a typical visit may look like a potty break, a walk, playing with their favorite toys, spending time outside, feeding, fresh water, and plenty of attention. Depending on their energy level, we might spend our time going for a longer walk and playing, or we may simply relax together and keep eachother company. For cats, I understand that their needs can look a little different. A typical cat visit may include feeding, refreshing their water, cleaning their litter box, playing with toys, and giving them attention and affection if they enjoy it. Some cats are social and love having someone play with them or give them lots of attention, while others are more independent or shy and prefer to have someone quietly check on them and give them space. I’m comfortable respecting those differences and letting each cat set the pace. I would also be more happy to take care of other small tasks that help keep your pets comfortable while you're away, such as bringing in packages, taking your trash to the curb, or watering plants. If your pet needs medication or has a specific care routine, I’m happy to discuss their needs beforehand.

“My 3 65 pound dogs are complicated and spoiled. She was amazing and they responded to her the moment she came to meet them. Will look forward to doing it again.”
