“Nyla was an amazing Rover! She was able to work with us last minute and was very flexible. She was also amazing with our difficult dog! Can't wait to book with her in the future.”

“Wendy took care of my cats while I was away for two weeks! She did amazing and even kept in contact with me through the hurricane to let me know how the cats and the house was doing. Cats seemed happy and I definitely appreciated having Wendy to check in on them.”

About: Lifelong pet owner trusted by coworkers, neighbors, and family for pet sitting. I treat every pet like family and am glad to send regular updates and photos . I work full-time but am completely available to pet sit Monday thru Friday after 4 pm. I am also available weekends for the full day and overnight. I want you and your pet to be at ease , so I am willing to care for them in their own home surrounded by their own things.
“Abi was terrific! Very quick in responses and great with all her communications. She did a fantastic job and sent me plenty of updates and pictures. I am definitely going to be using her services again!”

About: I have had pets all my life. I love them all…especially the doggies! We have four rescue pups, a bunny and and a bearded dragon so we share the love with all different animals. I started a dog treat bakery business a couple of years ago that’s really starting to grow, so I’m now transitioning from the 9-5 job so I can pursue my passion for animals full time. I own my own dog bakery and work from home, so my availability is very flexible. We have an 11 acre farm with 2 separate “dog yards”. I will take your dog(s) for long walks and of course playtime if they like, give them food water and treats as needed, and I’m happy to accommodate with any special requests if your fur baby has a favorite activity, treat, or any special needs.
About: I am experienced in pet care. I'm an active animal foster and have been around animals of all sizes and ages. I also know how to administer meds, so if your baby is on anything no doses will be missed. I work from home, so your pet will have plenty of love and attention. I leave the house once daily to drop my kids off at school, so outside of that I'm here. I grocery shop Sundays so your baby will nearly never be alone. I have 2 dog that are used to other animals being in and out with me being a foster. I also have the ability to keep pets seperate but kennels must be provided. Please also bring a leash. I can only provide care to leash trained, house trained, kennel trained dogs.
“I can’t even say how much I appreciate Megan for doing drop-in visits for my dog. I felt so much trust and relief knowing she was in such good hands and being loved on. 10/10 recommend.”

“Thank you so much Tiffany, Kilo and Carter say Hi and thank you for taking great care of them, not to mention entertaining them. Im sooo glad I found someone I trust with my boys. I will definitely be contacting you again, hopefully soon for our next outing.😁 Billy , Carter & Kilo 🐕🐕”

About: My husband and I have always had a soft spot for animals. Growing up around pets taught us both how to care for them with patience and love. Together, we’ve looked after dogs and cats of all ages—from playful puppies to senior pets who need a gentler touch. We’re comfortable giving medications and sticking to routines. We’re calm, reliable, and always focused on making pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Caring for pets fits naturally into our routine because my husband and I genuinely love spending time with animals. We both work weekdays from 8 AM to 3:30 PM (and until 12 PM on Fridays), so we’re available for morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend visits. Our flexible schedule lets us give pets the attention and consistency they need—whether it’s for walks, playtime, check-ins, or overnight care. Whether in our home or yours, your pet’s safety and comfort are our top priorities. My husband and I follow routines carefully, give lots of love, and let pets adjust at their own pace. We always respect your home and treat your pet like family.
“She was so great to our 3mo pup who had to come on vacation because she’s still too young for boarding. She was easy to communicate with, came to our cabin, and was very kind to our babe.”

“She stepped in for us last minute and was incredible! Our dogs were so well taken care of, and she kept us updated the whole time which meant a lot. It’s not easy trusting someone with your pets, but she made it completely stress-free. We’re so thankful she was able to help on short notice and would absolutely book with her again!”


“Anna did a great job. My little guys had a wonderful time with her and I have peace of mind that they are taken care of when I’m away. She brought the garbage can to the road and picked it up later. She got my packages off the porch, washed up the dogs dishes and picked up their toys that they scattered all over. Also had her do some house cleaning which was awesome. I’m happy with Anna and definitely will be using her again.”


About: I was raised in a household where dogs and cats were always part of the family, which helped me develop a deep passion for their well-being from an early age. Over the years, I’ve gained extensive experience in caring for both species, understanding their unique needs and personalities. My knowledge extends to administering oral medications safely and effectively, always ensuring the animal is comfortable and stress-free during the process. I make it a priority to provide plenty of comfort and affection, as well as engaging playtime tailored to each pet’s preferences, helping to keep them both happy and healthy. This lifelong experience has made me attentive, patient, and enthusiastic about supporting the health and happiness of dogs and cats alike. With my flexible schedule, pet care easily integrates into both my daily and weekly routines. I am able to adjust my availability to meet the needs of each animal, ensuring meals, medication, exercise, and affection are provided at consistent times that suit their habits. This flexibility allows me to devote focused attention during morning, afternoon, and evening hours, whether it’s feeding and playtime or walks and grooming. On a weekly basis, I plan for deeper cleaning and enrichment activities, such as refreshing litter boxes, rotating toys for stimulation, and scheduling longer walks or social outings for dogs. My adaptable approach ensures that every pet receives the care and companionship they deserve, regardless of my other commitments, making their well-being a top priority throughout each day and week. Providing a safe environment for the animals is fundamental to their well-being and peace of mind. This includes ensuring that the living spaces are free of hazards, such as toxic plants, accessible electrical cords, or small objects that could be swallowed. Safety measures like secure fences for dogs and proper window screens for cats help prevent accidents and escape attempts, allowing pets to relax and feel protected in their surroundings. The importance of a safe environment extends beyond physical safety—it also reduces stress and anxiety, which can impact both behavior and health. When pets know their space is secure, they are more likely to thrive, exhibit positive behaviors, and form trusting bonds with their caretaker. By prioritizing safety, I create a nurturing atmosphere where every animal can enjoy comfort, companionship, and the freedom to play and explore without worry.
About: Hi, I’m Kimberly! While I do not have professional experience caring for dogs, I’ve had dogs my entire life growing up and currently have four of my own, so I’m very used to being around them and taking care of them every day. I’m comfortable with all the basics like walks, feeding, playtime, and just making sure dogs feel safe and cared for. Being around my own dogs has taught me how different each one can be, so I always try to pay attention to their personality and needs. I’m reliable, patient, and will treat your dog like one of my own. Whether they need a good walk, some energy burned off, or just a little extra attention, I’ve got it covered. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine since I have four dogs of my own. My day is structured around feeding, walks, playtime, and making sure they’re all comfortable and cared for. Because I’m used to managing multiple dogs, adding pet care for others fits in easily. I’m already in that routine, so it’s something I genuinely enjoy and make time for every day. I stay consistent with schedules and make sure each pet gets the attention they need. When caring for pets in my home, I treat them like part of the family. I make sure they have a safe, comfortable space and stick to their normal routine as much as possible with feeding, walks, and playtime. Since I have dogs of my own, I always pay close attention to introductions and make sure everyone is getting along and feels comfortable. In a client’s home, I will focus on keeping things as familiar as possible for the pet. I will follow their usual schedule, whether that’s walks, feeding times, or medications, and make sure they’re getting plenty of attention and care while you’re away. I’m respectful of your home and always keep things clean and organized. My goal is to make pets feel relaxed and cared for, whether they’re with me or staying in their own space.
“Amazing as usual, she is the only person I have loved through Rover thus far, her reviews and rating really don’t describe how amazing and caring she is I could give her ten stars I would. We tried another rover when she wasn’t available with great reviews and she was terrible. Rover needs more individuals like Vanessa she is truly one of a kind.”

About: I have taken care of and owned dogs my entire life. I love all animals and have experience with caring for multiple animals at once. I have a dog of my own and he loves other animals both cats and dogs and is very friendly. I can provide: • daily walks • dog park visits • playtime • meals • potty breaks I have trained my own dogs since puppy age. If training is needed please let me know. I have experience in giving medication if it is needed as well. I work full time in office. I do have decent flexibility with work and am able to come home for potty breaks. I usually can take a long lunch to at least walk my own dog for some time before returning, so there is no issue exercising the dog mid day. I do not have a fenced in yard, but there is a dog park and plenty of neighborhoods to walk dogs around. There are many dog parks close by. The home is clean and we keep things out of reach of pets. If at any point I leave the apartment all doors to extra rooms are shut and I turn on some music or tv for some background noise while away.
About: I’ve had pets all my life with differing personalities and needs. A lot of my pets I’ve trained myself. I can’t imagine a better way to earn money than to love your fur baby! I’m between jobs right now, so my sole focus will be on your fur baby. I’m consistent with taking them out and caring for them, so your family will be well taken care of❤️ I have two dogs to keep your baby company, and they are the highlight of my life, so your baby will fit right in, too. I have no problem going to your house if your pet needs a little space, too.
About: I grew up owning dogs my whole life. Many friends, neighbors, and family members have relied on me in the past to watch over their furbabies. I’m honest, dependable, compassionate, and will put the safety of your pet first. I have great time management and will always be on time. I offer a variety of experience to show your pet! I can walk, run, play, water, feed, or whatever I am needed to do. :) I am a 25 year old college student working on my graduate degree in Counseling. I don’t currently work so I have all day to care for your furbabies! You and I can work together to create or schedule that suits you. I conduct drop-ins! I can care for your pet in your home when needed. I will make sure they receive adequate potty breaks, food and water on your suggested schedule, and they will have someone to snuggle or walk with! I’m currently a grad student working part-time in the Jefferson City area! Would love to add stops to my day to play or walk your furbabies!! I can crate your dog if needed. We can walk safely down the road that you suggest! I can take them to a nearby park if needed for an additional fee. We can play in your backyard or in the house— whatever your preferences are! We will have safe fun regardless.
