“Madilyn was amazing and stayed in constant communication with us throughout her visits. It was obvious that our 3 boys took to her right away and enjoyed her company while we were gone. She was very prompt and thorough with all of her visits, provided detailed notes and adorable pictures of our guys, and put our minds at ease with leaving our dogs home while we traveled. Absolutely recommend and will work with her in the future!”


“Yvette was AWESOME with my two cats. She was thorough and did great giving my senior cat his medication even when he was being stubborn and spent the remaining time playing with the kitten and wearing her out.”


“Mark is outstanding. As the owner of four golden doodles under the age of three, I was impressed by his punctuality, professionalism, and thorough questioning during our initial meeting. Mark's trustworthiness and genuine affection for animals, rather than mere financial interest, are evident. He quickly gained the trust of my puppies. I will be relying on his services for all future pet-sitting and boarding needs.”


“Niya was great! I needed someone to feed my frog and gecko, and to check on my snakes' water, and she did so wonderfully. My frog is notoriously difficult to feed, and other than Niya, no one else has been able to feed him. Definitely recommend, especially if you have reptiles or amphibians!”


About: I have taken care of and been around animals my entire life. I am very passionate about safe animal care. I understand that our pets are our family. Unfortunately, they can’t always go with us on our many adventures. With your trust, I will offer the love and care for them until your return. I currently work full time as a nurse. I am off in the summer and have very flexible holiday days off. I am flexible with before and after work and am available most weekends. I work very close to my home. So if a furry friend is visiting. I am always able to perform a lunch check in as well. I have a fenced in yard and a doggy door for constant access. I have an outdoor kennel as needed and an indoor crate as well. I have two very friendly dogs and one cat that believes he is a dog. If you’re not comfortable boarding with other animals then home visits may be the best option! Please don’t hesitate to ask questions.

About: Owned my own boarding, grooming and training facility- boarding over 120 pets at a time for 14 years ! I know PETS and how to care for all breeds! I've had horses, rabbits, hedge hogs, guinea pigs, and a pet rooster as well as cats and dogs. I've done CPR on dogs, a duck and an infant racoon in the wild. I'm an animal lover! I'm very good at what I do, professional and mature. Can give meds. Will not take pit bulls though. Personal preference. Been chewed apart by one. I work part time at Aldi in Clinton and my schedule is flexible, so I'm flexible. I can usually alter my day we'll to make all things work out GREAT. need your mail picked up? Lights on and off ? Let me know. I have a 120 lb very friendly bernese mountain dog that loves all dogs that come thru our door. We also have a very friendly golden retriever. Both our dogs welcome any new boarder! Non aggressive. If I board in my home, he would be fine. Your pet would be welcome on the guest bed and futons. Basically, have its own bedroom. If I come to your home, I will follow your instructions, and exercise, feed, brush, etc. However you wish. We live on a private lake with lots of acreage but no fenced yard, so if your dog stays here, it would be leashed, even a long leash. I DO live in Montrose but will service the Henry Co and St Clair Co Mo areas depending on the needs of that day and week. Please tell me your schedule and how I can help you. My pets are family as are any pets that visit or any that I care for. Whatever they need for the best life possible is what I provide. You should provide all your own food, treats, chew toys, etc.

About: I grew up on a farm with 16 horses, cows, dogs, and cats, which gave me solid experience in animal care. I also travel, camp, and hike with my cat, Pumpkin, which has helped me learn to manage various pet needs while on the move. My background includes experience with horses, dogs, and cats, as well as training and handling. I’m skilled in caring for both active and senior pets, providing personalized attention. My adaptability and travel experience make me a reliable choice for pets needing a caring and flexible sitter. I am currently working a remote job that I can log in at any time, so I can make my schedule around and pause for any pet care! I am across the road from an open field we can walk to or around Monroe's less busy roads. Pumpkin has his own bedroom he can go to that he is safe in and I have an additional open room if needed, along with the rest of the house. In client's homes, I can be there as long as needed and stay as close to their normal routine as possible.

About: We are reliable Gen X who have the experience needed to take care of your critters. We will treat them like our own until you return home. My husband and I work full time but we are able to drop in before and after work. I work very close to our home and can let your critters out during the day. I have a fenced yard, 2 indoor dogs, and 1 dog that rarely comes in. He will be in a separate yard. We have 2 cats that come and go as they please who only have access to our garage. Your dogs are allowed to play with our dogs if you allow it and if they get along well. Your dog will need to be crated while we are gone from the home. Our back yard fence is 48” tall.

About: Hi! I am a college student. I grew up with three dogs, seven horses, two cats, and chickens at my house. My parents are wanting me to wait until I graduate to get a pet of my own. So in the mean time, I would love to help you guys out. I love animals and can ensure you that I will take care of and love on your pets just like you would. I do not have a job, just classes. This means I will be available to play, feed, walk and more! I have been pet sitting regularly for about a year now and really enjoy it. I hope you will let me help you out! You can message me with any questions you may have!

About: I have a wide variety of experience caring for animals, all the way from cats to horses! With two dogs and two cats of my own (and many more throughout the years), I’ve faced my fair share of complications and situations but have been able to handle them accordingly. I’ve had to care for pets with arthritis, hip and bone disease and elderly pets as well new puppies. I’m experienced in basic training such as sit, stay, and lay down. As of right now, I’m in the transfer between highschool and college, but I care for my pets daily. They are kept on a feeding schedule and get their daily exercise. I will treat your babies like my own! Depending on their needs, they will receive walks, playtime, nap times, and just plain fun! I like to keep them involved with my daily life (car rides, dog parks, etc.) and allow them to become comfortable with me on their own time! Every dog or cat is different and I’m willing to do whatever to make sure they are safe, happy, and healthy while you’re out!

About: I grew up on a farm with many pets, have worked in a dog training center, worked in a pet boarding hotel and I have been an animal care specialist animal for the past few years at the Kansas City Zoo! I have worked with a very wide variety of pets & animals of all different ages. I currently am a full time animal care specialist at the KC zoo! In my free time I love meeting new pets, training animals and spending time with my corgi! I have a flexible schedule during my weekends as well as most early mornings or evenings. I am primarily looking for dogs to take on walks and pet check ins, will consider house sitting/boarding once familiar with the pet & family! I have been working with a wide variety of animals for many years & have studied animal behavior at the college level! I am a very outgoing and loving person towards all pets. My whole life revolves around my corgi and I’d love for part of my life to revolve around your pets as well!

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 8. I’ve watched numerous friends and family’s pets but recently found out I have an allergy to cats. I have house sit and dog sit for about 5 years when I first turned 13. I currently work part time for a school and will be moving 2 hours away from home in August. I’m more available in the mornings and evening times but can stay over night and do afternoons if needed. I care for pets by feeding and watering them, giving them attention and if they are put on a certain schedule I will be sure to follow it. I had to watch a dog who was diabetic and had to give it medicine in the morning and evening time.

“Kelli took good care of my cat while I was on vacation. My cat is skittish and not social so can’t be brushed or petted except by me. Kelli did everything I asked of her. She cleaned up after him, gave him fresh water and his medication. She even looked for him when he was hiding and sent me pictures. I would definitely book with Rover again! Thank you so much, Kelli! 🤩”


“Kylie has taken care of our fur kids when needed. She walks and plays ball with them. She treats them like they are hers. They both adore her. We appreciate how well she takes care of them.”


“Amazing - I just asked stephanie to pop in and let the dogs out go to the bathroom. She stayed for a whole hour. She’ certainly did not have to do that. I know my for babies appreciated it”


About: I grew up with two dogs and a cat took care of them a lot also, my grandma‘s dog which was a smaller dog. Fast forward I bought two kitties. They’re almost one now and there perfectly healthy and adorable. I’m available Monday thru Friday after 11am anytime after that I’m available to take care or walk your pet in the week. Hope this helps I feed them when they need to be fed and I play with them and pet them and make them feel welcomed . I also give them treats if there good (animal treats ofc)

“Alexandra was great! This was a bit of a last-minute booking, but she responded quickly and the visits were set up in no time. My cat's food, water, and litter box were all taken care of as I had requested. Most importantly, my kitty was relaxed and happy when I got home, because he had been properly cared for in my absence. Would absolutely book with Alexandra again.”

Caroline C.
“there is absolutely NO ONE BETTER than Caroline to care for your pet !!! I have had her care for my two dogs and two cats for years, mostly in my own home, and she is OUTSTANDING!!! She is so loving and kind and very personable. My dogs go CRAZY with excitement when they see her and hear her voice, it's like they know her as family! If she weren't available, I'd probably reschedule my trip she's THAT GOOD! She even gave me alot of tips when I got a puppy a few years ago.....Caroline is a wealth of knowledge and a really good person. I usually tip her more because I want her to come back again and again to my Sugar Bean, Mr. J, Sprinkles and Fleece. Excellence is all I can say about her !”


Taylor H.
“Taylor used to take care of my cat, Milo, whenever I was out of town. He was old, and a bit of a crank, but he really took to Taylor and she did a great job taking care of him. She is honest, hard working and thoughtful, and will do a great job if you decide to hire her. I highly recommend that you do.”
