Doggy Day Care in Hematite

“My husband and I have never gone anywhere without our precious Molly. We have our son’s destination wedding to attend this month. We have both agonized over leaving Molly behind. A kennel or doggy day care was definitely out of the question. I had heard of Rover so we checked it out. Karissa is a Godsend. Her yard is perfect, she is affectionate and I know in my heart Molly will be exceptionally well cared for. We dropped Molly off this week for a trial day before leaving her a whole week. Karissa kept us updated with pictures and notes throughout the stay. Finding Karissa has eased our anxiety about leaving Molly. I highly recommend checking with Karissa if you are looking for a passionate, reliable sitter.”

About: I have had pets all my life. Cats, dogs, reptiles, fish, hampsters.. the list goes on. I was in Human healthcare and found its not much different. I can help with your pet care needs. My work schedule can be flexible so I can adjust it to fit most pet needs so you can plan that vacation free from worry. I have a fenced in area and a designated space in my house I call the “pet room” . My house resembles someone who has a 2 yr old but instead of kid toys and beds it’s dog and cat toys.

“Mozzy had a great time playing with other dogs during her stay, Rachell had a wonderful yard to play in and was very on top of maintaining safety and watch over our girl. We got lots of pictures and our Mozzy had a ton of fun and came home exhausted and happy!”

“Haley is wonderful, always giving me details as my little man's anxiety around new people and places lessens every day. As soon as I met her and her children I knew that they'd have a calming influence on him. So glad I found her!!”

About: What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give to each pet as if they were my own. I have 4 years of hands-on experience with dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to older dogs needing extra patience. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and I always make sure pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable when their owners are away. Working from home allows me to be flexible and available for pets’ needs. Whether it’s regular potty breaks, walks, or just keeping them company, I can make sure they’re cared for all day long. I work from home, so pets get consistent love and attention throughout the day. Whether in my home or a client’s, I follow their routine, meals, walks, playtime, meds, and cuddles to keep them happy, safe, and comfortable, just like family.

About: I grew up around dogs working at a grooming shop and love animals! My children are older. They are 21 and 18 and loves animals as well! I do wfh. I’m available during the week and weekends as well. I do have a Pom-a-Poo, Brooklyn and a cat, Milo. They are sweet and loving! I enjoy on nice days taking dogs to the dog park, walks on trails, or through my neighborhood. I do not have a fenced in yard but will take them outside on a leash frequently. I have dog sat for friends and family numerous of times so thought I’d expand and help other people so they feel like their beloved animal is taken care of and in good hands while they are away! I have plenty of time to play with your pups and available pretty much 7 days a week! During the day someone is generally always home. I have a fenced in yard. I also ask if your dog is crated to bring your crate as well. I feed them on the schedule you provide and walks as well I am currently working from home and available to maintain any schedule or routine as needed to ensure dog/puppy day to day in minimally disrupted I have a fenced in yard and make sure I do not leave out items they can get into or harmful to ensure their safety

About: I’ve been an avid animal lover since I was very young. Always took the initiative to care for them and have continued into my adults years. Looking to do this on rover to fulfill an opportunity to love on your pets without having to add them permanently to my home (it’s a problem- I would have a farm). Looking to do this to establish relationships with other pet families. I work from home. I am home almost all day everyday. I could be to your home at whatever time and needs you want. Happy to assist! I would love them as my own! They will never have a dry water bowl, they will get all the lovins they need and I look forward to walks and other adventures.

About: My wife and I are a dedicated pet-loving team who will treat your pets like family. I’ve cared for animals my entire life, and my wife is a trained veterinarian with over 10 years of experience in Mexico. She’s currently working as a vet tech as she works towards the ECFVG certification which will allow her to practice as a veterinarian here in the U.S., bringing a deep understanding of animal health and behavior to every visit. We currently share our home with 3 dogs, 1 cat, 9 chickens, and 2 turkeys—so we’re no strangers to pets with all kinds of personalities and needs. Whether your pet needs playtime, cuddles, medication, or just someone patient and kind, you can trust that they’ll be in safe, experienced hands with us. I work from home full-time, so your pet will have plenty of companionship and care throughout the day. I’m often outside with our own dogs, so your pet will enjoy lots of fresh air, playtime, and supervision. My wife works four days a week but is home in the mornings and afternoons, so between the two of us, someone is almost always around to give your pet the attention they need. Whether your dog loves being active or just relaxing with company, they’ll feel right at home here. Your pet’s safety is our top priority. We have a fenced backyard where smaller dogs can roam safely. For larger dogs, we use a secure tie-out cable system to give them outdoor time while keeping them safely contained. Inside the home, we can easily separate pets if needed—our basement and main living area are fully divided, making it simple to create calm, stress-free environments for each animal. Our chickens and turkeys are kept in a fully enclosed outdoor coop, well away from visiting pets, so there’s no risk of unwanted interactions. You can trust that your pet will be cared for in a safe, secure, and attentive environment

About: Your pet will actually go outside with walks at the park or play time in the backyard instead of being with a sitter that's keeping them inside sleeping all day. I do independent work such as Uber or sell plasma + when requested so I have full-time availability. I can always do my other work when pets don't need someone to watch. Backyard is not fenced but large and a park is nearby. As long as the dogs are not heavy (that's why I don't dogsit "giant" dogs) then they will still get outside time. If the pets only need to be inside, the house is clean and with cameras for safety.

“We were so grateful to have Jenna babysit our dog Jasper when we decided at the last minute to go into St. Louis. We are from out of town and the heat was just going be too much for him to go along with us. She treated him like one of her own thanks again!”

About: I am 61 years old and enjoy playing and taking care of animals. And I have 4 dogs of own. For the past year I have taken care of 2 other dogs and the best quality that I have is I am flexible and will do last minute tasks for the clients I have. I don't believe in keeping a pet caged up all day because they are like humans they need to eat, be walked and given attention. I will give update on how your pet is doing. If you need to have your patience go to the Vet or groomers I will pick up the pet and taken him or her to their appointment. If any medication is needed I will make sure they get it. I work part time taking care of the Elderly and I have extra time to work with animals. And help other pet parents get away for the weekend and vacation. So the don’t have to worry about their fur babies. I have a fenced in yard and a doggie door. I have certain areas gated off. I go outside with them when they are outside.

About: Hello! My name is Nicki and I currently have two cats named Gertie and Sky. I rescued both of them when they were little kittens. They live like queens and are super active and not shy at all. Growing up I had multiple animals over the years. We had two horses, 3 dogs, cats, fish and birds. I’ve always treated my animals like family members because that is what they are. My dog passed away this past fall after 13 years of the best life ever. I love dogs and cats but especially with dogs I love to walk and run with them. My cat Gertie is fearless like a dog and walks on her leash about 3 houses down and then she is done. Ask me questions about how I can help you! I look forward to taking care of your pet! Currently I am taking pet sittings for any day. I will stay at your home like a normal day at home and run errands as usual. I love the checklist care along with my normal instinct care. Just a easy list of amount of food, medicine or anything particular that needs to happen and then I will take care of the cuddles and care.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs & cats as long as I can remember. My family and friends ask me to help them out all time because they know they can trust me to love and care for their fur babies ❤️ I love walking my neighborhood and the local parks and would love for your dog to join me! I have two older boys who also love dogs and would give them lots of love too! I plan on substitute teaching part time and take on smaller painting jobs in my community but I will be in and out of my home during those times to check on the fur babies. I have a lot of down time in the winter & summer when I would be home often. I love to walk so your dog can come with me! I have a fenced in yard for your dog to play in that backs up to private woods so it’s peaceful. I have a crate if needed.

“Melissa was phenomenal. She took FENWAY with short notice, so I could take my kids on some adventures on our way thru the city as we drove home from a camping trip. She sent me pictures, and Fenway slept most the way home, so I could tell she had a good time”
