About: I’ve been pet sitting for 2+ years and have experience with all breeds. I have four fur babies of my own, I know how important it is to find someone you trust. I treat every dog like my own—giving them love, attention, and care tailored to their needs. You’ll get updates, peace of mind, and a happy pup while you’re away! With a flexible schedule this summer I have plenty of time to care for your pet. I’m available weekdays and weekends for walks and visits, always giving your dog the attention they deserve. I follow your pet’s routine to keep them comfortable and happy in their own space. Your home and pet get the same care and love as my own dogs.
About: I’ve had my current dog for over 8 years, along with many before him. My current dog is dog and cat friendly. I work at a no kill, large shelter in St. Louis with experience handling all types of dogs. I’m currently working 4 days a week so I have plenty of time after work and on the weekends to take on and care for your animal while you are away. I have a fenced yard and home in the country. I have an animal friendly dog and a spare crate and supplies to accommodated your pet.
About: I will care for your pets as if they are my own. I have cared for friends, family and coworker's dogs and cats for over 30 years. I have looked after dogs and cats who were fortunate enough to have loving homes and also cared for dogs and cats in the animal shelter environment, so no matter if your pet is friendly or shy, we are bound to be new best friends! My two sons are grown and living on their own, so I have availability to care for pets seven days a week. I will travel within Farmington city limits and can't wait to meet you and your furry family. I am also happy to housesit your animals when you go on vacation, whether for overnight, a week, or longer. I will come to your home for the initial meet and greet. At that time, you can tell me everything I need to know about your pets; their eating schedule, walks, potty breaks, playtime routine, favorite toys, what furniture they aren't allowed on (if any!), and anything else you want me to know. My house-sitting fee covers overnights from 7pm to 7am with evening feeding, potty-time, and play time. In the morning, I will snuggle with your pets, and they will have potty-time and breakfast. Depending on my schedule, I may be out of your house for a few hours taking care of other pets, but I will spend a half hour with your pets every three to four hours throughout the day, taking them on walks or playing with their favorite toys. If you are going to be gone a few days, I am happy to help by bringing in the mail and watering your plants.
About: I am a retired Groomer and have a nice and safe area for multiple pets to play, inside and outside. I will provide a loving home for your pets while you are away. I work from home and I am available to provide care for your pets 24 hours a day and 7 days a week in my home. I have a large fenced in yard, patio and garage that they can play in at any time. Pets are welcome in my home and i have multiple beds for them, or you are welcome to bring their own.
About: I’ve only watched two breeds of dogs but I want to expand my knowledge of other breeds. Watching them is how I feel will expand it the most. I love all types of dogs, big or small. I’ve had my dogs for 14 years. I currently have a full-time job at Bonne Terre prison from 7am-7pm. I’m using this to make a little extra cash to help me pay bills and gas money. Not only for those reasons, but to also watch all your wonderful dogs. My dogs get 2 meals a day at specific time frames everyday. They go potty every couple of hours. They are both 14 years old, so I am always keeping a close eye on them to make sure their arthritis doesn’t cause them to fall. When they're in pain, I give them their medicine and crate them for a while so they can relax without the other dog bothering them.
About: This is my first time working with Rover. I have a Golden Retriever of my own that is my whole world. I always had dogs growing up where I assumed the responsibilities of bathing, walking, and simply taking care of them. I currently work full time throughout the week. Walking is already part of my nightly routine with my dog. Weekends are usually spent taking my dog to the park, or running. I enjoy staying active and believe pets should stay active and healthy as well. I have a 1 year old golden retriever to keep your pup company! She loves to socialize with other dogs and is very friendly. I do not have a fenced in yard as I do live in an apartment, but we frequent trips to the dog park.
About: I’ve stayed home alone with cats and dogs and had to take care of them. I absolutely love cats and dogs and always go to pet stores to look at them. I always walk up to stray cats and dogs to feed them. I’ve never had any problems from family members in the past from sitting their own animals. I’m currently a student in college. Trying to make a living for myself. And I figured I love cats and dogs so why not watch them and earn money! Back home I have a dog and a puppy that play around a fenced yard. I have been around them on my own waking up early, to feed them and let them outside to go potty or play. And then have to watch them all day.
About: I have 10 plus years of experience training, breeding, and caring for dogs aging puppy to adult years and small to medium size. My family previously owned a dog boarding kennel in which we provided obedience training, leash training, and anger management and redirecting negative behaviors. I am currently a stay at home wife so I have immense time on my hands. Daily Dog walking, drop in visits, overnights, etc are all on the table, therefore I have full availability every weekday and weekend. With lots of tender love and care. I treat animals that I oversee as if they are my own. I love on them, feed them, exercise them exactly as you would yourself so that they are not outside of normal routine and are not lacking of anything while you aren’t able to be home for them!

About: My house is full of love and my dogs will surely keep your pets entertained they are friendly with almost everyone and the indoor and indoor/outdoor cats have been around many dogs and other animals with no problems in addition the rodents and birds areas can be closed off so your pet has no experience with those animals to keep all pets happy and healthy. I grew up on a farm so I have experience with cows, goats, rabbits, geese, ducks, chickens, guinea pigs, hamsters, dogs and cats. When I turned 17 I started my zoo as my father calls it, I have 11 animals. I started with a simple one cat and one dog. In 2023 I increased the number from 2 pets to 5 getting a Chinchilla and two cats one showing up at my front door and another surrendered to me after I friend couldn’t care for him anymore. Then in the beginning of 2025 another friend moved and couldn’t bring her birds so we took in 3 parakeets which they do better in pairs so we bought one to make it 4 and then a couple months later we were finally able to find a second chinchilla so that nether was lonely because they are also better in pairs also. Lastly number 11 I had been thinking about for awhile I always wanted a lot of dogs being a big dog person so my 11th pet we got at the beginning of 2026 she is a 6 month old border collie. I currently work part-time in the evenings so I’m free every morning and all weekend depending on the weekend. I can also be available any day by request but my days off are always Sunday, Monday, Friday, Saturday. I live in a rural area with a large space for dogs to play we have a 5 year old small medium pit-terrier mix and a 6 month old border collie. I also have a variety of pets so I have knowledge on how to care for birds, rodents, fish, cats and of course dogs large and small.
About: I have always had at least one animal in my home since I was born. My grandmother showed dogs and I would often help her get them trained and groomed. She was also an amazing professional dog groomer and I spent a large chunk of my time with her and learning from her. I like puppies but I have a love for older dogs. I have experience administering meds and injections. I work part time, on the weekends and I go to college full time. In the summer I work 5 days a week but based on your needs I can fit your furry friend into my schedule. I like to have a little list of things that you would think is important like the vet you want them to go to if your baby gets hurt, a feeding schedule, and anything that you may have concerns about while I stay at your house. I treat all of the animals I watch as they are my own babies and think it’s important to gain the trust of them while at your home, so they feel more comfortable.
About: I’ve taken care of my own pets growing up, and now I work as a dog groomer after graduating a grooming school! I love all animals & my goal is to make them feel cared for and loved.

About: What sets me apart is the level of genuine care, patience, and attention I give every pet as if they were my own. I understand that every animal has a different personality, comfort level, routine, and emotional need, so I focus on creating a calm, safe, loving environment where pets feel secure while their owners are away. I’m especially good with anxious, shy, high-energy, and routine-oriented pets because I’m very observant, patient, and consistent. I pay close attention to behavior changes, body language, eating habits, medication schedules, and overall comfort to make sure pets stay happy and stress-free. I also have experience with: Senior pet care and slower-paced walks Puppies and younger pets who need patience, structure, and consistency Maintaining feeding schedules and routines Providing companionship, playtime, and emotional comfort Keeping homes clean, organized, and safe during stays Giving regular photo/video updates so owners feel reassured People describe me as dependable, calm under pressure, trustworthy, and easy to communicate with. I know how important it is to leave your pet with someone who is not only responsible, but genuinely caring and attentive. My goal is always to make both pets and owners feel comfortable, safe, and confident. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I have a very open and flexible schedule. I’m available throughout the day and week for walks, drop-ins, boarding, feeding schedules, playtime, companionship, and overnight care when needed. Since I’m home often, pets receive plenty of attention, supervision, consistency, and care rather than being left alone for long periods. I enjoy creating a calm, comfortable environment where pets can feel safe, relaxed, and part of the household routine. I’m also dependable with maintaining routines such as feeding times, potty breaks, exercise, medications, and regular updates for owners. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, so I make sure each pet gets individualized attention, patience, affection, and proper care based on their needs and personality. I provide a calm, safe, and structured environment where pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, supervision, and affection. Since I live on a farm with open space and a peaceful setting, pets have room to enjoy fresh air, walks, playtime, and a lower-stress environment while still being safely supervised at all times. In my home, I focus on keeping pets comfortable by maintaining their normal routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise, medications, rest time, and any special instructions from the owner. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality, energy level, and comfort needs so they feel secure and cared for while away from home. For walks and activity, I adjust based on the pet’s age, health, and temperament — whether that means active play for energetic dogs, slower walks for senior pets, or extra patience with anxious animals. Safety is always my top priority. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect both the pet’s routine and the owner’s space. I make sure pets receive reliable care, companionship, exercise, fresh food and water, clean-up, and lots of attention while helping maintain a calm, clean environment. I also provide regular photo and video updates so owners can feel reassured while they’re away. What’s most important to me is making pets feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for no matter where they are.
