“Melissa had great communication and took great care of our Labradoodle and Beagle. The weather was nice so our beagle was in and out constantly. Beagle shenanigans! We will definitely use Melissa again. I couldn’t provide additional feedback since it was grayed out but house was as we left it with no issues. Thank you, Melissa!”

About: Hi! I’m a reliable and caring animal lover excited to help take care of your pets while you’re away. I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust in your home, and I always prioritize safety, communication, and keeping your pets comfortable in their normal routine. I grew up with both cats and dogs, and I have a lot of hands-on experience caring for them throughout my life. I also frequently pet sit for my friends, so I’m very comfortable stepping into different routines, personalities, and household setups. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to care for pets of all energy levels—from playful and active to calm and shy. I can follow detailed instructions including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special care needs. I always provide regular updates so you know how your pets are doing while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, drop-in visits, or house sitting, I treat every pet and home with respect and care as if they were my own. Before confirming a booking, I prefer to meet the client and animal, for your peace of mind and my safety. During the initial meet, you can ask any questions you have, your pet can get to know me, and you can see if I am what you’re looking for as your pet’s caretaker. At the same time, I usually take notes - covering any quirks your pet may have, to where their leash is kept, and everything in between. I’m looking forward to meeting you and your pets! I have a flexible schedule and am happy to work with your pet’s needs. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting, and I do my best to be responsive and reliable with communication and scheduling. When caring for pets in your home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent and stress free as possible. I make sure they are fed on schedule, given fresh water, walked or let out as needed, and receive plenty of attention, playtime, and comfort. I’m very detail-oriented, clean, and conscientious, and I follow instructions carefully so your pet’s routine is maintained exactly how you prefer it. I also respect your home and keep everything tidy and well cared for while you’re away. I provide consistent updates so you always know how your pet is doing, and I aim to make your time away as worry-free as possible.
About: I have always had at least one furry friend at home to love on and meeting new pets is what I enjoy the most! As a college student, I provide a youthful and fun yet experienced service for cats and dogs. I'm currently a student at MU with a flexible weekday schedule and free weekends. I am available during evenings and drop-ins on weekdays and full days on Saturday and Sunday. I provide in-client-home care for any aged animal within my locations range. I'm a trusted and friendly bestie for cats and dogs.
About: I have raised my Cavapoo since she was a puppy, I love giving love to all animals! Furry friends deserve care and love in their life. I am a student in college with a part time job, I am available Sunday, Monday and Wednesday. I can be flexible as needed, thanks! I can crate your pets at your house as needed, take them potty, and play with them. I am also very interested in walks as they are very important for pet health.
About: I am a soccer player at MTSU who loves all animals, especially dogs. I have two pups of my own back home and they are my best friends. I have first hand experience as a pet owner, and do well with all types of dogs. I previously did house visits for friends and neighbors. One of my dogs at home is 18 years old, and while I love him so much, I understand the difficulties of having a senior dog. I can’t wait to meet some new pets! I am currently a member of the women’s soccer team. We practice early in the morning on weekdays and are off on weekends. I have a teammate with a dog who my friends and I often walk and spend time with. When I am home, I spend everyday with my pups walking, feeding, and snuggling. I am capable of crating, feeding, and walking dogs. I make sure to lock all doors and notify clients as I arrive and depart the service. While my service is short, I like to make the most of it so the dogs can enjoy it as much as I do!
“I've already rebooked with Ruth. We did a meet and greet with the pups since I have one that is very skiddish and is hesitant with strangers and by the end of the visit my pup would sit on the couch with Ruth! I felt very good knowing my pups were safe and being looked after while I was gone. She was phenomenal with the timing of my travels and wonderfully respectful of my home. I am beyond excited to have a reliable dog sitter, highly recommend!”
“Madeline was amazing!! I couldn’t have recommended someone better to watch our guys, she’s a great communicator and sends pictures very regularly. Our dog has bad separation anxiety and nervous around strangers and she handled him wonderfully, would highly recommend Madeline!!”
About: I've been a dog mom for 17 years, not including my childhood pets. I love each and every puppy I take care of with a whole heart, and treat my own dog like a princess! I walk my dog Penny every day, and feed her twice a day. She loves green beans with her dinner, so when im out shopping I always buy green beans for her! After work, Penny usually follows me around which always comes to the two of us cuddling on the couch in the living room when Im with my family! I haven't had too many other pets to take care of, but i am sometimes asked by family members to take care of their pups when they're away. The usual routine is dropping by the home, taking the dog for a walk, feeding them, making sure they have enough water in their bowl, and cleaning up any messes that were made when I wasn't around. I always take an extra hour or so to play with and spend time with the dog.
About: Are you looking for a caring and reliable person to look after your dog? I’m here to help! I absolutely love dogs and would treat your furry friend like my own. I prefer working when the weather gets cold, so you can stay warm while your pup gets his or her daily outing 🙃 Flexible Hours: Day or night, I’ve got you covered! I prefer to work while the temperature is less than 70°F. Summer is more difficult to make appointments, but I’m very flexible all day/everyday otherwise. I have a 4-year old Sheltie that would be with me for overnight assignments, but otherwise you can opt to not have her along while I care for your fur baby. I am very familiar with both dog parks in town, or I can walk around your neighborhood - wherever you like.
“Cathryn did a great job with my two pups. The apartment was just as clean as it was when I left it to get and the dogs seemed to adjust just fine with no temperament issues after. She kept in contact and followed med/feeding/walking directions; even sent pics. I would definitely book again.”
“We are so glad that Lauren agreed to sit for our two little dogs. Despite our littlest dog wiggling out of her collar on a walk and having to deal with a bathroom/shower that is mid renovation, she hung in there. Lauren was a great communicator, kind and respectful of our home. Our dogs were safe and happy when we arrived home. We would definitely request her services again!”
Cottleville pet parents share their Rover experiences
Really great at keeping us informed and sending pictures of our girl every day. We could tell that Nala (our dog) was doing great from the pictures sent. The house was extremely clean when we got home. Ruth cleaned our tub and shower and even our floors. She went above what we expected of her for watching our dog.
Samantha and KP were awesome. Honestly the meet and greet alone set a great tone. They came in ready, took notes, and you could tell they actually cared. Kept me updated with photos over the long weekend, stuck to the feeding routine, and showed up when they were supposed to. Would definitely book again
Emily was an absolutely exceptional dog sitter for our Frank. From start to finish, her communication with us was outstanding—she kept us consistently updated and gave us total peace of mind while we were away. She went above and beyond by sending plenty of pictures of Frank, which we truly appreciated and looked forward to. It was clear he was happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. On top of that, we came home to a clean and well-kept house, which was such a thoughtful touch. We couldn’t have asked for a better companion for Frank and would highly recommend Emily to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive sitter!
Becky was great!! She was on time, kept me updated with how my pup was doing while I was gone, and did her best to keep him entertained during the FREEZING weather when he couldn’t spend much time outside. He also unfortunately got a little sick while I was away and she was great at not only letting me know about it but also cleaning up too. Not only would I rebook but would also recommend to others as well!!
Marissa was great! She is such a nice person, and I was able to enjoy my time out of town even more, knowing that my dogs were happy in our home. She sent pictures of our dogs each day, and when we arrived home, she had put a cute autumn scene on our tv to greet us.😊
Jamie was amazing! She not only cared for our dogs throughout the entire weekend, she took time to play with them outside in the backyard. She sent pics and updates throughout the time she was here so we could see how much fun the dogs were having. We would definitely hire Jamie again in the future.
Debbie took great care of my pups while I was gone. She provides lots of photos and updates at every visit. 2 of my dogs are on medication and she took care of that with no problems. My dogs all warmed up to her quickly and really love her taking care of them. Highly recommend booking her for all your pets needs.
