About: About Ross I recently retired from the Navy and now live with my wife on 9 peaceful acres, just about a mile and a half off Highway 50 near Powell Gardens. It’s just the two of us here—no kids, no pets at the moment, aside from two laid-back turtles. We’ve had dogs in the past and loved every minute, but after moving frequently, we decided to hold off for now. That said, we’d love to show care and attention to your dog as if they were our own. Since I’m fully retired, I’m home throughout the day. I usually go for a daily walk for exercise, which works perfectly if your pup enjoys a good stroll. Our ranch-style home has pet-friendly vinyl floors and tons of open space to explore. While we don’t have a fenced yard, there’s plenty of room to roam—just let me know if your dog needs to stay on a leash and I’ll make sure to accommodate that. A Quick Note About Your Dog Please feel free to share any special needs, preferences, or routines your dog might have. And of course, if you have any questions at all, don’t hesitate to reach out. I’m genuinely excited to meet your doggo! I am fully retired so I can be home all day. Typically, I exercise with a walk so that would work with the dog as well. I have a large ranch style home with pet friendly vinyl floors. In plenty of land for dogs to run around I do not have a fenced in area so if your dog needs to be on a leash that is fine I just need to know.

“Alyson was so thoughtful in the planning and run up to my dog staying at their house. I had Spike stay daily for a week while my wife was travelling. Alyson and family were flexible in when I could drop off and then pick up the four legged grandson. Spike was not happy about it the first morning because it broke up his routine. The next morning he was happy and ready to go meet up with Dexter and be dog buddies for the each day. I will be using Alyson in the future to babysit Spike. Danny”

About: I have lived on a farm since born and have owned all types of animals! I currently work from home everyday so dogs are always with someone.

I have taken care of our clients animals and I have been fortunate that they have recommended me to others as well! I am very much an animal lover! I have experience taking care of farm animals such as horses, donkeys, goats, chickens, and even feral barn cats to domestic animals in the home. I own horses, chickens, goats, and dogs of my own. I am known to be very realiable and flexible with any schedule! I am able to meet anyone’s demands if needed and will care for your pet as if my own! I work from home and am with my dogs at almost all times! Always am available to take time to play and help reduce energy levels! I have a fenced yard and free roaming pasture for high energy dogs! My dogs love to play with others and love to run around and engage in playing.

“Alan and his wife were absolutely incredible. They made the whole process easy from the get-go, starting with the meet and greet. My dog Riley can be very anxious around new people, but Alan and his wife were super patient and gained the trust of Riley very quickly. He sent lots of pictures and made me feel very comfortable knowing that Riley was in good, loving hands. I will definitely be leaving Riley with them again!”

“My GRIM just stayed with Aubrey today and I am not waiting to write a review! I am so so happy he got to experience a great play day with her and her dog after our last experience with another sitter a few weeks ago. I will definitely be reaching out to Aubrey every time I need a sitter from now on! She had no issues watching my pitbull breed. She fed him and gave me the food back that he didn’t eat instead of leaving me wondering how much he had ate. She sent me multiple pictures throughout the day. She had all of his stuff ready to go when I got there to pick him up. She had a clean and very spacious fenced back yard for them to run around in all day. She and her family were very friendly and welcoming. I could not have asked for anything more!”

About: I have been around animals my whole life. Our pets have always been our “family” and play a huge role in our lives. I’m the person family comes to when they are going out of town because they know we will love their pets like they do! Experience with bathing, nail trimming, ear cleaning, and clipping as well. I am a stay-at-home Mom so I am available 24/7 and have the ability to walk dogs, let dogs out to potty/play as often as requested or wanted by the pups! Pets have free rein of the whole house and can come in and out as they please. We have a pretty nicely sized fenced in yard and 26 acres to go for a walk on! Pets are allowed in the bed with us and can be on furniture as well.

About: I’ve owned many pets, cats and dogs included. I currently own dogs, and I spend most of my day, everyday, with them. They’re my people. I am 20 years old and currently doing Rover full time so I have plenty of time to take care of your pups. They will receive my undivided attention with playtime and walks included if needed! I have a large home with a large privacy fenced yard. I also have several crates, or you can bring your own if you like. I have ample food in case you forget to bring your own. I will allow your pets to hang out with me wherever I am in the house and take them out frequently for restroom breaks to the backyard . I also have a room designated just for dogs with a TV, dog couch, and toys. I have gates to block stairways for dogs that don’t do well on stairs. Basically I have everything you need to provide a safe, comfortable, and happy environment for pets!

About: I grew up surrounded by lots of animals! I love dogs of all sizes and kinds, although I have to say my favorite is pugs! Since moving out of my parents, I only have a kitty (her name is Olive 🫒) and I really miss the happiness a dog brings! I’d love to care for, walk, and love your fur babies as if they were my own!! I go to school a couple hours per week and the rest is online, therefore I am pretty flexible! I work a part time job as well that is no more than 2 days a week. I will care for your pets as my own and follow all safety measures in order to keep them safe, happy, and healthy. I believe our pets are our children and should be loved and taken care of as such!

“Morgan was great! Very accommodating and easy to work with! Our puppy, Peanut, loved her stays there! We will definitely be using her again in the future!!!”

About: I love all animals. I rescue any critter in need that passes my way. I've had cats, dogs, fish, lizards, hamsters, cows and chickens. I have cared for friend's pets on many occasions and it truly feels like I should be the one paying for the cuddles. ;) I am a stay at home mom so I am available to work around schedules. I have 5 animal loving kids who enjoy all the new faces to play with. There are acres for dogs to run on a leash on our property and we just added 2 large fenced in areas for them to run leash free. They can visit the creek and relax in the shade. Pups will be kenneled at night or if I need to leave to run errands. I have open kennels here available. If your pet is not used to being kenneled and is fully potty trained, then they are fine roam the house.

About: I have a variety of experience with animals. I am happy to work with them. They truly are my therapy. I may not be the best people person, but I will become your pets new best friend! From dog shows, 6 years of rescue work, to starting my own pet boarding and sitting service! I have been taking care of and working with animals for much of my life. I have a degree in the medical field. I have attended Canine Care workshops put on by the Missouri Department of Agriculture as well as Sheltering conferences. I am Active and most importantly, your pet will be a part of the pack, treated like one of my own while they stay in my home. Just take it my daughters word for it. She always says that animals just love me, sometimes it really ticks her off! I work from home almost daily, but if I did have a life…there is always someone to help care for your pet until I return and both of my daughters have been helping me foster and find homes for all of my rescues. They both know proper ways to treat animals while they are with us. I do have a very big home with lots of space, enclosed front porch area, big property with acreage, fenced-in areas as well as not. I do rotations If I am unable to supervise pets together or if one isn't so friendly, allowing turns for each dog to be outside, in the home, and even sleep in my bed! I am familiar and trained in giving animal introductions so that your pet may play with others, unless you prefer otherwise.

“Rebecca did a phenomenal job! She treated my pup like one of her own. Will use her everytime I need a sitter or overnight.”

During the meet and greet, I gather all the information needed in order to keep their routine as close as possible to their current routine.

“Kassidy did a wonderful job watching my dog Sarge! She sent me some super cute pics during his stay, and he was tired out by the time I picked him up. I’ll definitely have him stay here again in the future!”
