Danielle did a great job house and cat sitting. She asked questions for clarification, sent us updates regularly, and left the house in great shape. From the photos, it seems our cat was really comfortable with her and Elle took the time to get to know our cat’s personality. She will be sitting for us again and I highly recommend her.

Lucas was such a wonderful find for our sweet pair of cats! My husband and I are helicopter parents about our babies who have very specific and different needs including our boy cat who needs to be medicated and is a very picky eater. Lucas sent us very frequent updates on the state of our cat's appetite and how things were going. In the past, we have come home to find our cat has either lost weight or has liquid medication smeared on his fur from medication difficulties. When we came home our boy cat looked the best he's ever looked after such a long stay with a house sitter. We can tell our cats felt very at home and comfortable with Lucas. The house looks great, very clean and exactly how we left it. All and all, among the best rover experiences we've had! Great communication, healthy happy pets, a clean home, what more could we ask for?

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 are during the middle of the day so they can go out plenty of times in the morning and night. 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.

About: I’ve taken care of my own dogs since before I can remember and I watch my parents dogs on trips quite often. I also watch other friends dogs as well as I’ve done some overnight house sitting! I am a nurse part time and doing online school. I have two dogs of my own but can stay overnight at your house if needed! I work nights so getting up with puppies and what not does not bother me one bit. I am available to watch overnight as well as during the week. I am willing to do medications as well as walks and play time! I usually can let the dogs out by 3-4 hours max!

About: I’ve had a deep love for animals since I was a kid, and I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 7 years old. My first dog was a beloved member of our family for 12 wonderful years, and since then we have welcomed three more pups into our lives. One of them is my own, Nala, a pitbull mix who is truly my entire world. I have experience with dogs of all ages, including geriatric dogs and those needing regular medication. In addition to dogs, I’ve had rabbits since I was 11. My current bunny, Minnette, will be 14 this August after losing her bonded partner in 2021. I’ve also regularly cat sat for friends and family and am comfortable with feline care. Over the years I’ve rescued many dogs and volunteered at the Animal Protective Association, also known as APA, in St. Louis where I gained hands-on experience with a wide variety of breeds and temperaments. I have a particular interest in dog body language and behavior. I love learning how to make animals feel safe, understood, and happy. Whether your pet is playful, shy, elderly, or energetic, I will be attentive to their unique needs and treat them like family. I just graduated college at Mizzou, and am taking a gap year before I begin graduate school next fall! This means I have plenty of time and my schedule is wide open to care for your pets. <3 I have always been an avid animal lover-- not even just dogs, but all sorts of pets! I have had my bunny since she was 1 year old and I was 11, and she is now about to turn 14 next month! I have also had dogs since I was 7 years old! I grew up with my childhood dog, Louie for 12 years. Now, I have my own dog, Nala. I have had her for about 3 years now, and I consider myself to be a helicopter parent (ask anyone haha)! With that being said, I am ALWAYS paying attention to details, instructions, and am very vigilant about making sure your pet is getting everything they need. As I do with my own pets, I will give that same attention and dedication to yours!

About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is the way I care for your pets like they’re my own. I have hands-on experience with animals of all ages and temperaments—from playful puppies just learning the ropes, to senior pets who need a little extra patience and care. I’m comfortable with giving medications, adjusting routines for older pets, and helping with basic puppy training like crate time and leash walking. I take the time to learn each pet’s unique needs and personality, so they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Whether it’s belly rubs, slow walks, or just quiet company, I’m there to make sure they’re happy and stress-free. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life—living in the country with my family, animals are truly at the heart of our routine. We have a spacious, fenced outdoor area where dogs can safely run, play, and explore. Our own crew includes a friendly dog, three playful cats, a curious bunny, and some happy chickens—so we’re used to all kinds of personalities and care needs. My two children absolutely love giving gentle “lovins” and playtime to our furry (and feathered) guests, and they’re always excited to welcome new animal friends into the mix. Whether it’s making sure a senior dog gets their meds or helping a puppy burn off energy, we approach every day with patience, kindness, and genuine joy for what we do. Caring for animals fits right into our family rhythm—it’s not just part of our schedule, it’s part of who we are. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family. We live in the country with plenty of fresh air, room to roam, and a fully fenced outdoor space where dogs can play safely and freely. Inside, pets have cozy spots to relax and are never left feeling isolated—whether it’s curling up on the couch or enjoying quiet time away from the action if they prefer. We follow your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible—mealtimes, potty breaks, walks, medication, and cuddle time are all handled with care and attention. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect your space and your pet’s comfort zone. I make sure their daily routine is kept consistent and stress-free, from feeding and potty breaks to walks and companionship. Whether I’m stopping in for a visit or staying overnight, I keep communication open with photo updates and notes, so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and relaxed—whether they’re in my home or staying in theirs.

About: Hello there! I am a lifelong animal love with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all shapes, breeds, sizes and personalities. Whether its energetic puppies, timid rescues, or senior dogs needing a slower pace, I take pride in providing care that is catered towards your dog's specific needs. I have grown up around dogs ranging from smaller dogs like Yorkies and Pomeranians, to larger dogs like Golden Retrievers and Huskys. I also understand the importance of building trust with animals and their owners included. I treat every pet like family! Whether it's a walk around the block or overnight sitting, I make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved. I stick to your routine, provide regular updates, and always go the extra mile. These are your furbabies and I intend to treat them as such. I am currently not working and have plenty of time to dedicate to caring for your fur babies.

About: My name is Baylee and I have taken care of animals since I was 16 years old! I help friends, family members and coworkers pet sit whether it be an overnight visit or just a check in every couple of hours to make sure their pets are getting the love and attention they need while their owners are away. I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to work remote when needed, making it convenient to stay and work from the clients home or take as many breaks needed to make sure your animals are getting fed and taken out. I am trustworthy and reliable and follow directions left by the clients. It’s important to abide by the clients wishes and rules for how they want their animals to be cared for while they are away.

When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect your space and your pet’s comfort zone. I make sure their daily routine is kept consistent and stress-free, from feeding and potty breaks to walks and companionship. Whether I’m stopping in for a visit or staying overnight, I keep communication open with photo updates and notes, so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and relaxed—whether they’re in my home or staying in theirs.

I recently had Chelsea come sit my dogs for a few days and I was a little nervous about it since one of mine can be a handful. She was incredible. Super friendly and respectful of my house rules. Will absolutely recommend her services.

Baylee watched our dog, Rogan, over the weekend when we were out of town for the holidays. Baylee stayed at our home for two nights ensuring Rogan was well taken care of. Baylee provided a watchful eye on the house and was able to feed, water and love on our fur baby. Baylee is very approachable, trustworthy and responsible. We know we can rely on her for all household and pet needs.

About: I’ve taken care of large & small breeds of dogs. Also taken care of cats of every kind. Family & friends count on me to walk bathe and feed them while they’re gone. I’m currently working part time, so i have plenty of time to work with any animals. I’m available for boarding during the week anytime after 2pm. I have a nice backyard that your dog can run around in. I have plenty of toys that your dog can play with during their time with me.

Brielle was such a great sitter for our dog! I know she loved on our sweet girl just as much as we had hoped! I felt at peace knowing she was taken well care of during our week long vacation!
