“Abigail is very talented and very knowledgeable person. My Shepherd Harper loves spending time with her and Abigail loves her time with Harper. I would highly recommend Abigail to anyone to have her help train and take excellent care of your pets”


About: I have several years of experience volunteering at a no-kill animal shelter where I was responsible for feeding, walking, bathing, play time, and administering medications. I have taken puppy training classes, and also have experience with senior dogs who require special attention and care. A “Meet and Greet” with me, you, and your dog(s) is required prior to our first booking to make sure it’s a good fit. I am a stay at home homeschool mom of two responsible teenagers who also love dogs. We are home minus church and running basic errands. I have a female German Shepherd mix named Meg. She loves other dogs, shares her toys, and she gets 1-2 walks everyday; rain or shine.

About: I have taken care of my own pets for all of my life. People have noticed the care and time I put into their lives and have trusted me to train and take care of of others peoples pets as well. I love walking, playing, feeding and anything you can think of with your pets. I am available pretty much every day all day except for Wednesday and Sunday morning. Feel free to contact me and work out a good time. Anything needed I can provide at clients home. Only thing I am unable to do is keep pets at my own home. Just give me details and I’ll be ready.


“Holly is very nice and very loving to our dog. She sent pictures every day. She was flexible on start times when we needed it. I definitely recommend Holly and will use her again.”


About: I have taken care of many dogs even ones with medical issues and I also am very active so walking them would be no problem! I work full time but I am able to make it work , I am also doing online college so that makes it easier also! Whether or not your dogs are trained off leash, I would prefer walking them, or taking them out on their leash just in case they don’t listen and runoff!

About: Hello! I'm Karissa, and I've been an animal lover ever since I was a little girl. Growing up, my parents ran a pet shop, so I had the pleasure of being surrounded by all sorts of critters. Because of this upbringing, I've had the joy of caring for a wide range of animals, getting to know their unique needs and keeping them healthy and happy. In my own little family, we currently have three sweet cats and a playful puppy who's just six months old. We live in the lovely countryside near Festus, with a whole acre of land securely fenced for our furry pals to explore. We even have a pool, and you can trust us when we say we take pool safety seriously! We love a good game of fetch or tug of war and have been really getting into positive reinforcement training. Our puppy is even learning how to use buttons to "speak". :) I've got a soft spot for every cat and dog out there, and I'd be thrilled to look after your precious babies whenever you need a hand. I can either host them at my place or swing by your home to check in on them. Your pets' happiness and well-being are my top priorities! I can absolutely understand the importance of trust when it comes to finding the right pet sitter. So, let me assure you, I'm a dedicated and reliable professional. I'll treat your furry friends like they're part of my own family, following their routines and taking care of any special medications or dietary needs they may have. I can't wait to hear from you and meet your adorable pets! Feel free to reach out anytime. As a stay-at-home mom with older children, I have the flexibility in my schedule to accommodate your needs seamlessly! Please reach out with any questions about my availability. As mentioned earlier, our household comprises three friendly cats and a 6-month-old puppy. They are all well-accustomed to meeting new furry pals and get along famously with both dogs and cats. If necessary, we can easily arrange separate living spaces to ensure your fur-baby feels comfortable and at ease.

“All my pups absolutely love Marissa! She takes such great care of them on their walks. Marissa is also always mindful and respectful to pet parents. We are all thankful for her and our dogs have all began regular walks with her!”


About: I’ve grown up around big and small dogs all my life. I have also been dog sitting for family, friends, and neighbors and love to take my German shepherd on runs. I live at home right now and am taking one class online and work-part time so I will have lots of time to play with your pets and snuggle them. I make sure the animal will stay within boundaries if they have to stay in a fence and will make sure that they get all meds needed or food on time.

About: What sets me apart is the level of personal care and attention I give every pet I meet. I treat them like family, not just clients. I have experience with dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies needing basic training and consistency, to senior dogs who need patience, gentle handling, and special care. I’m comfortable administering medications, working with shy or nervous pets, and adapting to each dog's individual needs. Your pet’s happiness, safety, and comfort are always my top priorities. I’m a teacher on summer break, which means I have a very open and flexible schedule to dedicate to pet care. With more time at home and fewer daily commitments, I can give your pet the attention, playtime, and companionship they deserve throughout the day. Whether it's long walks, belly rubs, or just being there to keep them company, I’m able to fully focus on their needs during the summer months. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I stick closely to their usual routines for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest to help them feel at ease. I keep a clean, pet friendly environment and always prioritize safety, whether that's securing leashes, monitoring play, or giving them their own cozy space to relax. I also make sure to send regular updates and photos so you can feel connected and confident that your pet is happy while you’re away.

About: I’ve been working in dog care, training, and professional grooming for the past 7 years including teaching puppy classes, training for invisible fence, and working as a professional pet stylist. I am comfortable with all kinds of dogs and I love every one like my own! You can feel comfortable knowing your pet is being spoiled and loved in my care. I also offer nail trims upon drop in visits for an additional cost, cats and dogs :) I am currently pet sitting full time, so I have open availability! I am okay with short notice, and I would love to meet you and your fluffy friend! I have a large fenced yard to play in and go for lots of walks! I’ve got 3 small dogs who love to play and make new friends! We also love going on hikes and beach trips as much as possible :) it is usually an active environment, but if your pup prefers to hangout and relax at home, that’s totally cool with us.

About: I love dogs and always have. I have always had pets. We had three dogs when I was growing up and they were so much fun. I love playing with them. The dogs I had growing up were my “best friends”. When I lived in va beach I used to dog sit and house sit 2-3 times a week. I will take care of your dogs as if they were my own. I will take them out for walks let them get some exercise and ensure that they have food and water. I have done overnight sitting as well as pop ins where I have just walked and fed them. I’m available any day of the week. I look forward to working with you and your fur babies.

About: I've had cats and dogs my whole life. I started volunteering with a pet rescue around 2016 and have fostered many cats and dogs. I have experience taking care of dogs with allergies and skin conditions including giving topical and oral medications. I understand the importance of strict and/or special diets and also the degree to which some dogs rely on a schedule. I currently only do volunteer pet rescue work and have plenty of free time to help folks who need drop in visits. My only time constraint currently is that I can only do drop-ins during school hours, roughly 9am-2pm. In my experience with many different cats and dogs over the years fostering, I love getting to know all the different personalities and believe that the utmost care should be taken in regards to making sure your pets are well taken care of. Whether that is in regard to food, medication or even just their own personal quirks.

About: I've taken care of animals my whole life. They seem to respond to me well. I can usually figure out their needs and accommodate them. I have plenty of time on my hands currently. I am unemployed from the United States Postal Service. I am looking for enjoyable part time companionship with your dog. I enjoy walking! I have a great spot. It's a 2 mile round trip threw the woods down to the creek and back to the top of the hill. There's pretty cools spots to stop along the way. We have what I call the boyscout camp it's a small clearing in the woods, there is a beautiful maple tree,that just started growing back there. Lots to sniff. Then up a small hill to the trail down the the waterfall and then on to the creek. Of course we'll stop at the water fall. Either on the way down or back up. We'll hit parks in town or you're neighborhood. Or whatever is your dogs favorite spot. I don't have other dogs or kids. Just a couple of cats. And yes they re typical cats about dog's, Not impressed. But not to worry we won't be messing with any kitties. And did I mention that the 2 mile hike threw the woods is on private property. So no ther people or kids or dogs. We might see the occasional deer or turkey run by. Also I'm new to rover. Not sure what price should be. Open to suggestions. Thank you. I hope to be hearing form you and your dog soon! Best regards, Nikki I offer dog walking I come to you pick up your dog. we have fun, we'll find a good spot for all your dogs sniffing and other needs.I don't have dogs at my house only cats. I live in the woods so we can enjoy nature . We'll walk the neighborhood you live in or go adventuring close by. Safe and fun. Your dog will be happy when they come back.

About: I’ve grown up with animals my whole life big and small. From a Great Pyrenees to a Boston Terrier. I stay active with cardio daily so running or walking and especially playing with your pet is no problem! I am looking to not only love your pet like my own, but give them all the love, care, and attention they need. I’m working with full availability as of now so anytime works for me! All I ask is a few days notice so that I may prepare in any ways necessary! How I may care for a client’s pet in their home varies on the service they need and the type of environment I will be working in. All details can be discussed once you reach out to me!

About: I’ve taken care of family and friends pets when out of town. I also have 4 wonderful fur babies of my own!! All but one of our pets have some form of special care so if yours also has special needs I can take care of those depending on severity. I have a flexible schedule where I work from home, so I can make a tailored schedule that fits with your pets needs. If you need one, two or three drop ins a day I can work that in my schedule to ensure your pet gets the attention it needs! I come to your home where your pet feels safe.

About: I love all dogs. I have had dogs since I was little and enjoy everything about them. My dog of 18 years passed away right before my son was born so we currently dont have any pets but we are anxiously awaiting our sons 2nd birthday to get the newest puppy addition to our family. We go on frequent outdoor walks in the parks and do lots of hiking. I can accomodate dogs with special care instructions and medical needs as well. Since I am a stay at home mom to my 18 month old son who adores dogs as much as I do, there will never be a dull moment for your dog. We offer loads of love, affection, playtime, treats if allowed, and of course fun.

About: Being raised in a family that has such a deep love for dogs has helped me realize that dogs are much more than just dogs. I have such a deep love for dogs and have great patience with all sorts of dogs. I am currently a summer ball coach for a team in DeSoto. I have a very flexible schedule and can help with animals throughout the week and late nights. I cannot work weekends due to the baseball schedule. I am unable to bring dogs to my house due to the dogs and puppies that we currently have but I am more than open to going to owners homes. This would include me taking care of not only the dog but the home. Cleaning up after the dogs and making sure the home is tidy before leaving the home. Having a lot of experience with dog sitting provides the understanding of when to feed and how to feed.

Karissa B.Star Sitter
“In my house, pets are people. They have feelings and needs. I pay attention, and look out for them as they look out for me. Karissa not only gets this concept, it is entirely the way she interacts with other people’s pets. When I go away, and cannot bring pets along, I don’t have to worry about paying a premium just to get an extra bit of time in the outdoors, additional cuddles or treats, or for remote cameras to check on them. I know that Karissa will treat them like I would, and that makes it one less worry to bring along on vacation.”
