“Once again Lana did an excellent job taking care of our cats. She always goes the extra mile seeing to their needs as well as ours.”
“Mrs. Mary was so so wonderful and accommodating! I was just a nervous wreck when I left my Tilly home, that the beginning of my vacation wasn’t even enjoyable. However, after her updates I began to feel so much better knowing I had someone there who was really taking her. I would rebook Mary again in a heartbeat.”
“Anna is great. She spent time with my cats while I was away, communicates daily , and she was super dependable. I highly recommend her service.”
“Carissa has pet sat for my cat several times now and we love her! She is really sweet with my cat and goes the extra mile. She has even done some laundry/dishes while she’s at my apartment. She is also very sweet and good with communicating and always responds quickly. I always try to book Carissa whenever I have to go out of town”
About: I have been pet-sitting in my hometown for over 5 years, and I worked for two years in high school at my local vet clinic. I am trained in giving all types of medications, and I have substantial experience in working with animals in all states of health. I have also been exposed to a wide variety of pet behaviors, so I am comfortable working with pets that may need extra attention and care. I also have several senior pets and have fostered kittens in the past, so I love working with pets of all ages! I have spent my entire life loving animals, beginning with the family pets I grew up with. This led me to the veterinary field, where I began fostering and rescuing animals. Through this work, I discovered I have a particular love for senior pets, which led to my family adopting 5 senior dogs and one cat. Currently, I am a pre-veterinary student at Mizzou and I hope to become an Emergency Mixed-Animal Veterinarian! While I am excited to be pursuing my dreams, I really miss my pets and all of the animals I used to work with, so I am looking to fill that void here at school! I am a full time student, and my class schedule varies from day to day. I am usually on campus from 9-3 during the week, and I would love to work with any pets that need care outside of those hours or on the weekends! I strive to provide the best care to every animal I work with by making their comfort my top priority. I know how hard it is to be away from your pets, so I treat every pet how I would want mine to be treated. Outside of my professional experience with animals, I just really enjoy hanging out and spending time with them! So, you can trust that your pets will be loved, spoiled, and excellently cared for while you are away :) I work hard to establish trust with every animal I work with, to ensure that they are as comfortable as possible. I know how stressful it can be for pets when their owners are away, so I try my best to keep them happy and stress-free! I am happy to give medications, play with your pets, or simply hang out with them in order to provide the best quality care.
“Babies are well taken care of!”
About: I have a great deal of experience working with various breeds of dogs. Most of my work has been with rescue animals. I am very patient with animals and put them first while they are in my care. I provide the level of care that I would expect for my fur baby. I can taylor my schedule to fit their needs. I have experience with gerbils, chinchillas, sugar gliders, and birds! I have a three bedroom home with one dog. I am more than willing to watch your pet in my home or travel to yours. I can provide clean food/water bowls, a clean pet bed, and a large size indoor kennel. I do allow my dog on the couch and bed and yours is welcome to do the same. However, my rules are your rules. Therefore if you prefer if your pet not to be allowed on furniture let me know so that I do not start any bad habits. While animals are in my care I will only provide them with food and treats that I get from the owner to avoid any allergies or diet issues. I am very active so I will take your pet on leashed walks, hikes, car rides, and runs! Let me know your preference and I will be sure to accommodate the needs of your pet.
“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.”
About: I am a registered nurse and a mom a Great Dane and 2 kitties. I am taking a break from nursing and am now available for your fur babies needs throughout the day. I grew up on a farm in southern Mo and have cared for livestock (cattle, goats) as well as our Great Pyrenees during my adolescence. I love all dogs and have confidence in walking and training large, dominant dogs as well. I have been in training and agility classes with my current dog and am happy to help with leash walking and obedience. I am currently taking a break from nursing due to burnout. Monday-Sunday I'm your girl! Feel free to reach out for reoccurring visits, or for multiple visits per day, if you are located in the Columbia area. I am happy to make frequent check ins during the week and during weekends. I am available for dog walking and drop in visits every day of the week.
“Kayla is our number one go to when we are leaving town for a bit. She is great with our dog and cats and always helps us out!”
“Karly did an excellent job caring for my pets as I was out of town. Very communicative. She followed all instructions and did what was asked. Highly recommend and would use again!”
“Lindsey is a wonderful pet sitter who takes excellent care of our furry troop! Right out the door, when we first met her, we got an excellent first impression. She is very warm and friendly and was great with our pets! When we came home after our week away our pets were relaxed and happy.”
“As always, Kalynn took great care of our pets! This was the first time we had her check in on our kitties and she did amazing. Lots of pictures were sent while we're gone. I aka sus feel like my pets are well cared for when they're with Kalynn ❤️”
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.
“Amanda has been helping take care of our cat for the last year when we are away and she does a great job. She's great at communication and reliable.”
About: I started volunteering at the humane society in second grade, and I have loved taking care of animals ever since. I grew up with three dogs and fostered cats in college, and I often pet sit for family and friends. I am in between jobs currently so I am available every weekday morning, afternoon and evening. I am also available on some weekends, just ask! I always make sure gates are closed before I let dogs out, and am very careful about keeping them on a close leash when there are cars or bikers nearby.
About: I've always been an animal lover! I grew up with dogs & cats, and I currently have a 50lb shepherd, who's full of energy, so I know the importance of play-time & giving all the belly rubs, love & attention a fur baby needs! I know how I want my own dog to be treated when I'm away, so I will always be sure to do the same for yours! I've also pet sat for friends & family over the years, so I'm used to following any guidelines you provide. I'm currently a stay-at-home mom, so I've got a lot of flexibility with my schedule and would love to help care for your pets anytime! Currently, I'm looking to do drop-in visits at your home, as my fur baby does better as a solo pup. I will respect your home & prioritize outside time as long as the weather permits! I love all dogs, but prefer non-aggressive dogs; lots of energy is totally fine though, I'm used to that with my dog!
About: I always had dogs and cats growing up so being around animals is nothing new to me. The most I lived with at one time was 3 cats and 4 dogs and it wasn’t always sunshine and rainbows of course, but I love and care for the animals like they are family. It’s important that your fur baby is good with kids because my two will be helping make their stay feel like home. Your fur baby will get lots of love and attention! I am a band director August-May so being a teacher is my main job. Although I love it, it is not very lucrative - so working with Rover is a summer funds supplement. I’ve held temporary jobs that had little to no personal meaning but getting the opportunity to spend time caring for animals seems to give it a bit more of a purpose, which I enjoy. Looking forward to meeting your fur family! My daily routine is very relaxed in the summer because I’m off as a teacher. My family is home most days other than the occasional summer outing. We do not have a fenced yard but we love to visit the dog park! Twin Lakes is our favorite. We also live in a quiet neighborhood and have the ability to go on walks whenever we like.
About: I LOVE animals of all sorts. I've personally had cats for 23 years. I also have a bunny. I have taken care of other people's dogs for the past few years, and have been cat-sitting and house sitting for about 15 years. I am currently working full time but able to make my own hours at work, to make sure that there is adequate time for your furbaby. I provide tons of snuggles, attention, walks for dogs (or cats if they are trained to do so) at your preference. Available for walks, drop-ins and overnights. I am currently unable to care for your pets in MY home because I have 2 cats and a bunny, but I can provide tons of affection, clean their litterbox and/or yard poops daily. If your dog or cat is playful, I am happy to engage with them in that way as well to exert energy.
About: I’ve loved and taken care of animals my whole life (farm!) I can also administer shots and medications as well as skilled in senior care. I am available full time! I can also work in the evenings or any odd hours you might need. I am available weekends as well. Also please keep in mind I do not charge extra for more than one dog if I am dog sitting in your house, my rate is set and it is that amount for as many animals as you have. I have two sweet fur babies at home to keep your pet company! We can go on long walks in our big neighborhood, trails or dog park.

She also has an extensive background with animals as a pre-vet major and is more than qualified to care for any dogs with any needs. She has a very kind demeanor and my dogs warmed up to her instantly. I will definitely use Ellie again and you should as well!”

“Amanda has been helping take care of our cat for the last year when we are away and she does a great job. She's great at communication and reliable.”
Eleanor A.
“Ever since she was a small child, Eleanor has had a deep and abiding affinity for all kinds of pets. At the age of 8, she expressed a desire to volunteer at her local human society, where she spent after-school time helping to walk and socialize dogs, socializing kittens, and even spending time caring for small animals. Her volunteer work eventually turned into her serving as a foster parent for guinea pigs - several of whom she adopted! She displays kindness, patience, and love with animals, and I think the animals sense that as she interacts with them.”
Kirstin F.
“Kirstin has always been so sweet with all the pets we have had. She loves animals as much as humans. One of the main recommendations I have of her is that it makes her really sad when animals are left alone for long periods of time so she loves giving them the relief of a lively and playful person when she sees them. She is also extreme detail oriented so she always sends pics and writes notes about visits. I have seen her play well with animals from small to large.”
Tiffany L.
“Tiffany is a kind, compassionate, and trustworthy person who would be perfect to leave your fur babies with. If she can teach a room full of 30 teenagers all day long, she is more than qualified to hang out with your pup and show them lots of love while you're away. I highly recommend!”
Lauren L.Star Sitter
“I highly recommend Lauren! She truly has a passion for animals and goes above and beyond. I've entrusted my cats, and my tarantula with her on multiple occasions and have always been impressed with her. When I return everything has been taken care of and most importantly my cats are happy and calm. Communication is always seamless. She is not only reliable and punctual, but her genuine love for animals shines through in her interactions with them. My pets absolutely adore her and are always excited to see her. She is meticulous in following our medication instructions and I feel confident knowing that she will take all necessary precautions to keep my pets safe. With her, I never have to worry about my pets while I'm away. Her genuine love for animals combined with her professionalism make her the perfect choice for anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter. I cannot recommend Lauren enough.”
Alissa H.
“Alissa has been taking care of our dogs in our home for a few years. She is a dog lover and provides great care. I never have to worry about our dogs when they are in her care. Highly recommend!”
