House Sitting Crooksville

“Emily was excellent. She had last minute availability to help us in the impossible idea of finding a house sitter for 5 animals willing to stay at the house. Emily was flexible in what she could offer and was ready for whatever we needed. Truly a professional. She watched over my three dogs, my two cats, and stayed in my home for 9 days. My babies were cared for, my home was watched over, and we had total peace of mind. Added bonus was our home was handed off to us in the exact state, if not better than we left it in. Washed sheets and all. She even worked with my two dogs who do not get along the best inside, and trained with them to get them to be more at peace together inside. Whatever we asked her to do for pets and house, she followed to a t, and her partner is also lovely. I can’t recommend her enough. We found her on rover…. The only thing that gave me peace of mind was her reviews on rover to make the jump and book with her…. Emily is going to be rebooked with us for any needs we have in the future. We are so thankful!”

“Luna helped us out in a tight situation! We needed a pet sitter at the last minute and she pulled through for us. She was willing to come without meeting our pets before the weekend she came to sit. Luna was responsible and I felt our pets were safe with her. I would definitely ask her to come again.”

About: I bring more than just walks and cuddles! With experience in vet school, grooming, and training, I’m comfortable caring for puppies, seniors, and shy or anxious pets. I’m attentive, patient, and always make sure your pet feels safe and loved 🐶🐱 Pet care is part of my everyday life! I care for 3 guinea pigs, a chameleon, 5 cats, a dog, and multiple fish tanks daily, so animals are built into my routine from morning to night. I also work at a pet store where I train dogs and care for a variety of animals, so being around pets isn’t something I squeeze in — it’s what my life revolves around 🐶🐱🐠 I provide personalized care in my client’s home by sticking to each pet’s routine. I prioritize safe handling, walks, feeding, enrichment, potty breaks, and medications, while keeping pets comfortable and relaxed in their familiar space. I also send regular updates and photos 🐶🐱

“Easiest part of our week long vacation. I hardly had to think of our pets while we were gone. Came home to happy, healthy pets and a clean house. Couldn't ask for more.”

“This was Charity's first visit and it was an overnight. I had a LOT of instructions because 1 of my dogs hates one of the other ones, and they need to be separated/rotated, etc. She handled it like a pro! She checked in and and sent pics. I appreciate her professionalism.”

“We were so pleased with Erin she was amazing and our fur baibies were so well taken care of. We had an 8 day family trip to Ireland and Erin stayed in my sister's home with her two dogs including one that is a pup and my mini schnauzer that takes meds 4 times daily. She sent photos and reports daily so we could enjoy our trip without worrying that our pets were stressed out or not getting what they need. She was extremely professional and always on time and the house was in perfect condition when we got home. We will definitely use Erin again and have recommended her to all our friends. She also does drop in visits for walks, playtime or giving meds and we used her for that as well. She is definitely a 5 star pet sitter!”

“Madison was great with our dogs! She communicated often with updates and sent lots of photos and videos. My boys seemed to have a great time with her which allowed me to relax and enjoy our vacation. Will absolutely book with her again in the future!”

“Our dogs and our home were well cared for while we were gone. Lenny came to meet the dogs twice before we left, so they would know and be comfortable with her. Even our most nervous dog took to her immediately. We were very relaxed knowing everything was in capable hands.”

About: I have 26 years of experience caring for pets in shelters, boarding facilities, training environments, and veterinary settings. I’ve had the privilege of working with animals of all ages, personalities, and needs, and I truly enjoy building trust with each one. My approach is calm, patient, and gentle, with a focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for as if they were my own. Pet care fits well into my routine, as I work at a veterinary office daily until 5 PM. I am available for evening visits, walks, and drop-in care during the week, and overnight care is also available on weekdays as long as I am able to attend my work shift the following day. I carefully plan my schedule to ensure pets receive consistent, reliable, and attentive care. I provide pet care exclusively in my client’s home to ensure pets remain comfortable in their familiar environment and daily routine. I follow each owner’s specific instructions closely, including feeding, walking, litter box care, medication administration, and enrichment time. I also monitor behavior and overall wellbeing, paying attention to any changes that may need prompt communication with the owner. My goal is to provide calm, consistent, and attentive care while maintaining the pet’s normal routine.

“Cannon did a great job watching the dogs and cat. The cat is skittish around new people but by day 3 she was out and lying in her spot with the dogs and Cannon. That showed me she was comfortable with Cannon. The pictures Cannon send showed the dogs being their normal selves. I would have Cannon watch my animals again.”

About: I have had the wonderful opportunity to spend time with many dogs of so many breeds and can’t see myself stopping! There such loving animals. I’m currently working full time and will have plenty of time to play with the Dogs. I can even take them to work with me! I have a wide open back yard and plenty of room for dogs to run. I live on a small farm with a few other animals. I’m a very trustworthy person. I’m also a kennel technician/Dog trainer so I spend time with dogs almost every day.

About: Experience & Philosophy With over a decade of hands-on experience caring for a diverse array of animals—from dogs and cats to reptiles and small exotics—I bring a deep, foundational understanding of animal behavior and needs to every walk. This extensive background, enriched by my work with animal foster groups, has honed my ability to read subtle cues and adapt to each pet's unique personality and comfort level. I don't just see a walk as a routine task; I view it as a vital opportunity for enrichment, exercise, and building a positive connection. My Approach: Patience & Partnership My core focus is on fostering trust—both with your pet and with you. I believe patience is the cornerstone of a great relationship, so I take the time to let shy or anxious dogs warm up at their own pace, using calm, positive reinforcement. For you, the owner, this means consistent, clear communication and detailed updates, so you always feel confident and connected while you're apart. Your peace of mind and your pet's genuine comfort are my top priorities, ensuring every outing is safe, enjoyable, and tailored to your specific expectations. I am self-employed and work from home. Because of this I maintain my own schedule, which means your pets can be my priority when I am with them. My home is an active and engaging space, perfectly suited for dogs who thrive with plenty of stimulation and exercise. As the proud owner of a high-energy herding dog, I have firsthand experience in meeting the needs of active breeds. Our daily life is built around structured enrichment and ample physical activity, from puzzle games and training sessions to long, adventurous walks and play. Your dog won't just be staying with me—they’ll be joining a fun, dynamic routine that keeps their body and mind happily engaged. Your pet’s safety and comfort are paramount. I maintain a clean, secure, and pet-proofed home to ensure a stress-free environment. With a resident expert in canine energy, I am exceptionally attentive to reading play styles and ensuring all interactions are positive and supervised. If your dog loves to play and learn, they will fit right into our active and loving household.

About: From a young age, I’ve always had a soft spot for animals. I still remember the first time I saw a butterfly with a broken wing. Me and my siblings managed to create a makeshift prosthetic wing using leaves and stems. This compassion for helping others still lives with me today. Over the years I’ve taken care of my own family pets along with vulnerable animals my sister picked up along the road. When it comes to taking care of animals or even helping you out you can always rely on me. I’m currently a student and involved in sports but my school days end pretty early leaving me some extra time, I’m also free on tuesdays Although my yard is not fenced I’m surrounded by open fields trees and trails along with a state park really close, Im also willing to accommodate to any environment that’d be best suited for potential furry friends.

“Brooke was great with Noodles, I'm pretty sure Noodles had her wrapped around her tail... lol ?. Brooke stayed over night to ensure Noodles had company and didn't get anxiety. She cleaned up after herself and Noodles ?. We will definitely be booking Brooke for future stays with Noodles.”

“Nicole was absolutely wonderful with my baby girl Zoey! Zoey immediately took to her and really helped her stress level of me being gone. She texted pictures and updates every day and was very flexible with any of my needs. I booked it last minute and had a couple last minute requests and Nicole was just wonderful and accommodating the whole time. I am going to start using her every time I leave town or just need a drop in visit. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I would give her 6 stars if I could. Strongly recommend!”

“Sydnie stayed in our home and looked after our three fur babies (energetic beagles) for a long weekend- she was fantastic! We rarely leave them and I hate being away, but Sydnie put me at ease by keeping me updated on how everything was going (the three of them together can be a bit of a handful), was great at communicating with photos and kept them safe and happy. She was very respectful of our home and went above and beyond to tidy up. Thanks again Sydnie!”

About: I’ve cared for animals of all kinds for over 20 years, but dogs hold a special place in my heart. From tiny pups to senior dogs, I’ve helped with walks, feeding, bathing, and playtime—always with patience, love, and attention to their needs. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me time and time again to care for their pets like they’re my own. I’m confident, calm, and genuinely passionate about animals of every shape and size. Pet care fits naturally into my schedule. I work a part-time job and also run my own pet care services, working closely with VIP clients and even a few politicians. I’m used to managing a flexible, yet reliable schedule that allows me to prioritize each pet’s needs with care and attention. Whether it's daily check-ins, walks, or extended stays, I make sure every animal I care for feels safe, loved, and well looked after. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or my client’s home, I prioritize comfort, safety, and consistency. I treat every pet like family, following their routines closely—whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, medications, or playtime. Since I work with high-profile clients, I understand the importance of trust, privacy, and professionalism. I keep spaces clean, calm, and pet-friendly, and I always ensure pets feel secure and loved while their owners are away.
