We love using Chloe to take care of our cat while we're away! We are new pet parents so we're hesitant leaving our little fur baby. She's watched our cat twice now and we feel so much more comfortable leaving knowing that she's in good hands with Chloe. She sends us several pictures every day and stays for the full time to play with her. Chloe goes above and beyond when she stops by and does things like feed our fish too, and clean out food bowls/water filters. Our cat seriously does not like anyone besides us, but she has totally warmed up to Chloe!

Mackenzie was a great sitter, once again. She takes time to pet my cats and I can tell by the pictures she takes, they enjoy her attention. She followed my instructions and I was very pleased with her care.

I will absolutely be using her again when I go out of town and so should you!!!!!!

Konnor patiently waited through a delay the office had to let him into the building. He looked after Finn as good as any could expect and protected our dog’s needs as an anxious dog.

About: I have been a pet-sitter since I was in high school. It started with dogs but then it spread to cats, lizards and birds. I enjoy getting to know all pets and learn their unique needs in order to support them while their parents are away. I work full-time but I am fully available in the evenings after 4 pm then all day on Saturday and Sundays. I am willing to make accommodations and special arrangements on an as needed basis as well. I am willing to offer your pet what it needs to thrive when you as the owner are out of town. I like to be a comforting person for your pets while providing excellent care to them. I am always up for special requests to make your pet feel safe and secure.

This was our first experience with Rover and it was great. She visited with us beforehand to understand everything. She sent pictures. When I came home everything seem to be great. She had great communication before and during the visit timeframe. I would use her again.

About: I’ve had a deep love for animals since I was a kid, and I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 7 years old. My first dog was a beloved member of our family for 12 wonderful years, and since then we have welcomed three more pups into our lives. One of them is my own, Nala, a pitbull mix who is truly my entire world. I have experience with dogs of all ages, including geriatric dogs and those needing regular medication. In addition to dogs, I’ve had rabbits since I was 11. My current bunny, Minnette, will be 14 this August after losing her bonded partner in 2021. I’ve also regularly cat sat for friends and family and am comfortable with feline care. Over the years I’ve rescued many dogs and volunteered at the Animal Protective Association, also known as APA, in St. Louis where I gained hands-on experience with a wide variety of breeds and temperaments. I have a particular interest in dog body language and behavior. I love learning how to make animals feel safe, understood, and happy. Whether your pet is playful, shy, elderly, or energetic, I will be attentive to their unique needs and treat them like family. I just graduated at Mizzou this past spring, and am working as a nurse in Jefferson City. My evenings and weekends are free to care for your pets! <3 I have always been an avid animal lover-- not even just dogs, but all sorts of pets! I have had my bunny since she was 1 year old and I was 11, and she is now about to turn 14 next month! I have also had dogs since I was 7 years old! I grew up with my childhood dog, Louie for 12 years. Now, I have my own dog, Nala. I have had her for about 3 years now, and I consider myself to be a helicopter parent (ask anyone haha)! With that being said, I am ALWAYS paying attention to details, instructions, and am very vigilant about making sure your pet is getting everything they need. As I do with my own pets, I will give that same attention and dedication to yours!

Thank you so much! Kaitlynn was amazing. We had repairmen at our house and she was very accommodating and careful about our dog around them. Relieved my stress greatly. She gave detailed report cards at the end of each visit as well which was very helpful for me.
