Pet Sitting Festus

“Mary was great! She sent me picture updates, was easy to work with, and most importantly, my dog LOVED her! She’s not usually too crazy about strangers, but she was very very excited to meet her! We will be booking with Mary again!”

Erin C.

“Very attentive, on time, took great care of our animals. Will definitely hire again when in need.”

Kimberly E.

“Peace of mind. Our pooch was in very good hands. Maybe too good. Arriving home Storm acted indifferent to our home coming. She was excited to see us but not like if she was in a kennel for 10 days. Very good job.”

Jerry R.

“Ashley is amazing and so knowledgeable with dogs. She is willing to walk our doggo in this freezing weather! Thank you Ashley for all you do! You truly are a blessing to us!!”

About: I love pets of all kinds and would love to spend time with yours! I have been taking care of my dog for the last 5 years and have experience with training and giving medication. I do not offer in-home boarding at this time. My schedule is pretty flexible and I’ll be available for drop-in visits and dog walks throughout the week. I also offer pet sitting on the weekends in the comfort of the pet’s home. I do not have any pets with me here so my full attention will be on yours! I love going on walks and will make sure to keep your pet engaged and well exercised. If your pet is more of a couch potato I will keep them company as well!

About: I work well with all animals. I have trained Pomeranians, Rottweilers, and everything between usong positive reinforcement. I understand they have different needs and none are the same. I listen to your animal. I have cats, a dog, and a bearded dragon. Big dogs don't scare me. Tiny dogs don't either. Cats are to be respected and reptiles are fun. Routines are important to all animals. I work 6:30 am to 3:30 pm daily but am happy to do morning or evening check ins walks or clean ups. My dog loves evening walks. Safety is number one priority and pets will be kept on a leash and with me when outdoors. They are like toddlers and need consistent supervision.

“Morgan is very attentive and a great communicator! She has gone above and beyond to help with my baby and I’m so grateful! Will be having Morgan help with my girl while I’m here on contract work 🥰”

“Great with the dogs and ensures a mid day run/play time for the dogs. Pups are always excited to see him. Have already recommended Wesley to friends and coworkers.”

About: What sets me apart is my hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, personalities, and backgrounds. I grew up with large-breed dogs and have loved dogs my entire life. When I moved out on my own, adopting a dog was one of the first things I did! I currently have three resident dogs, all of whom I trained myself. Two of the three have severe separation anxiety, so I'm quite well-versed in some of the behavioral traits that come along with that. For the past two years, I've also been actively involved in the dog rescue world by fostering. I've fostered 12 dogs ranging from young puppies who needed to learn the basics to adult dogs who came with more challenging behavioral needs such as resource guarding. These experiences have taught me to be patient, observant, and adaptable with every dog I care for. I understand that not every dog is going to walk into a new environment perfectly behaved, and I genuinely enjoy meeting them where they are and helping them feel safe and comfortable. Whether your dog is a playful puppy, a perfectly behaved adult, or somewhere in between, I'll treat them like one of my own. My goal is for every dog to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away! I currently work from home and have a very flexible schedule. My resident dogs still rule my daily routine. Your pup will get plenty of attention throughout the day/night and can have potty breaks as consistently as needed. I've house trained seven puppies over the past two years, so I'm very used to frequent potty breaks if that's something your pup needs. Otherwise, every 2-4 hours is pretty consistent with the routine my resident dogs are on. I've fostered dogs with a variety of different needs and have always worked it into my schedule. I want every dog in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and at home, so I'm happy to adapt my approach to each dog's individual needs and your preferences as a pet parent. I do have three resident dogs in my home, all of whom are extremely dog friendly. Ideally, dogs staying in my home will be comfortable around other dogs, but I understand that not every dog wants or needs constant interaction. I have a separate guest room that I've previously used for foster dogs who needed some quiet time or a slower introduction. If your pup needs their own space, they can have a dedicated area away from my resident dogs while still having plenty of company - I work from home, and the guest room also serves as my home office. I have an unfenced yard, so dogs are always taken outside on a leash. I also have a long line that allows fogs more freedom to sniff, explore, and play while remaining safely contained. Outdoor time is always supervised, whether your dog is staying with me or I'm caring for them in your home. When caring for a dog in your home, I'll follow your instructions and do my best to maintain your pup's normal routine, including feeding, medication, walks, potty breaks, and any other care they're accustomed to. My priority is always safety, communication, and making sure your pup feels comfortable and well cared for while you're away. I've had people care for my own dogs while I've been away, and I've experienced both sides of the spectrum - sitters who went above and beyond and sitters who left me wishing I'd been there myself. I know how important it is to maintain a dog's routine and give them the same care and attention they're used to. My own dogs are basically my children, so I know exactly what level of care I'd want for them. That's the same standard I'll bring to caring for yours!

“Jackie and Addison are the best! Ophelia and Lou warmed up to them right away! We are so happy we found them! When our schedule changed they were happy to help to accommodate us!”

Marie C.

“Elizabeth is wonderful with my cats. Keeps me informed on how they are and even takes the time to send me pictures! Thank you💜”

Kimberly S.

“Jazmine was amazing and my cats were so comfortable with her! I’m so grateful she was able to check in while I was out of town!”

Sarah C.

“Alicia is very flexible and professional with us. Alicia communicates with us and we've had all great experiences with her. She is great with the cats. They can be pretty timid, but she is winning them over. I'm overjoyed that we found her on Rover. She's wonderful!”

Laurie N.

“Barbara was more than wonderful. We appreciated the meet and greet visit, as the cats were able to meet/see her prior to us being away. She was attentive to each cats needs and treated them as her own. We have one cat that has multiple pills and inhalers, and Barbara did an amazing job in giving the medication to our sweet boy. She really went above and beyond in making sure my babies were taken care of. Each visit we received multiple pictures and updates. We will definitely be booking with her again. There are not enough stars for Barbara!”

Jessica L.

“Angelina did a great job. Dependable and my animals absolutely loved her at the meet and greet. Even the Bear who can be reserved and hide from new people. Thanks!”

About: Honestly I love taking care of animals. I have a few of my own. Salem (cat) and Oscar (pup) Salem is very laid back and so friendly it’s insane. And Oscar being a puppy loves being around anyone and any pet. I currently work full time M-F but please know I will always make time for your fur babies. I’m usually available after 5pm on weekdays and I’m always available on weekends. I do not have a fenced in yard unfortunately but I do have a big grass area behind my house. We have a dog park we can go to nearby if permitted by owner

About: I have been working with dogs consistently for the past 6 years, both boarding and training! I have experience working in boarding facilities and along side professional dog trainers, having worked with multiple service dogs (Including my own!) and pet dogs. I'm coming up on 2 years as a Rover sitter and have had many happy pups in my home! Trained in dog behavior and currently working towards becoming a certified trainer. Dogs and their care is my full time job! I am always doing something with or for a dog. Wether that’s training sessions, walks, hikes, or some form of enrichment, we are kept busy around here! Our home has a lovely backyard with a six-foot privacy fence, a splash pool for hot days, and lots of shade! I have a complete dog room set up in our sunroom. Dogs are allowed to be in our living spaces with us, but I do have my office and bedroom blocked off for my own doggies to take a break if needed.

About: I am currently in a living situation where I can’t have my own pets so trust and believe I will treat your fur children like my own babies! I work part time, so not only do I need the extra income but I but have quite a bit of time and love to give to your fur babies! I only sit your fur babies in their own environments, so they feel safe and know where all their familiar things are while you are gone. If they are down for a ride I am more than willing to safely transport them with me on my errands.

“Tiffany was awesome with our fur baby! She gave very consistent check ins and let us know how our dog was doing while we were away. We will definitely use her again!”

Alayna E.

“Karissa is so sweet and always treats our dog with such kindness when she visits. She’s also great with communicating about my dog and what her behaviors are that day. Makes me feel like I’m there in person! Thank you so much!”
