“Jensen took wonderful care of Honey and sent many pictures every day. I never had to doubt that Honey was in great hands! I will be using her and her mothers services again in the future for sure!”
“We loved Mackenzie! My pupper who is normally super shy bonded with her almost instantly. She took great care of her and always sent cute pics and updates during her drop ins. We definitely plan to use Mackenzie again in the future!”
“Donavon was able to help out with visiting Monte last minute. He gave a great update, and even cleaned up a mess of his 🤦🏻♀️ oh puppies. We will definitely use him again in the future. Thank you, Donavon!”
“Sarah saved the day after my other dog walker had to cancel last minute. She was willing to take care of him without doing a meet and greet before hand due to it being a last minute request. Very much appreciated!”
“Chloe popped in for a meet and greet and watched our big guy on relatively short notice when our regular sitter was unavailable. We really appreciated her taking such good care of him while we were out of town and she was definitely Willie-approved!”
“Ali was super sweet and took the time to understand our animals and their personalities 💕 she made sure to follow the routines I gave her when we were out of town temporarily and needed someone to check on them for pee breaks 😊 for sure will use again 😊”
“Makayla is always very responsive and has been flexible with me when times have changed. She’s wonderful about sending Biden’s or photos to let me see Fiadh is being loved while I’m away. Thank you 🙏”
About: I have taken care of dogs for my whole life and have attended several training courses.I have three HUGE Great Danes and have learned so much about caring for big dogs since having them. I work partially from home, so I am typically available most of the day! A few days a week I have to go into the office for work, but I am still able to provide early morning, afternoon, and evening care on those days! I have three Great Danes and we live in a house! It can be a little crowded with them, but I am more than happy to visit your furry friends in their home!
About: I’ve grown up with cats and big dogs and I love all of them. I’ve been dog sitting for close family and friends for a long time now and I truly enjoy it! I’m a full time college student working a part time job, but I still have plenty of free time to care for your pets! I’m able to make time for the dogs I have watched before. When I care for a pet in a clients home, I usually follow instructions they leave to a T. I also pay attention to the animal and anything they might need! I’m a tidy person as well, and often leave homes better than I found them.

“Can’t say enough good things about Nita and her care of dogs!!! She truly loves animals and shares her love and hugs playing with them and just great overall care and concern. Highly, highly recommend her!! 5 stars and more if I could!”
About: I have taken care of pets since I was 9. I have raised several dogs from puppies to senior dogs. I am very well versed in potty training, bathing, and responsible play. For many years I have bathed and walked dogs for my family and friends in addition to taking care of my own. I absolutely love animals and look forward to giving yours all the love and attention it needs! I am a stay at home mom whose kids are all in school now. So that means I have a lot of free time for your pets! I currently have a dog who does not like other dogs, so staying at my house is unfortunately not an option. I do however love getting to visit other pets and thoroughly enjoy taking long walks with them or having a play session with them.

About: I have personally walked miles and miles with my own, very energetic Weimer. I had Cooper (my Weimer) for 14 years and we walked literally every single day, rain, snow, cold etc. We now have our 2nd Weimer and back at it again; love the exercise they provide for us!! I often walk my sisters dogs when she can’t due to health issues. I’m ready, and have my walking shoes on! I’m retired now and walking my dog keeps me moving and I love it! I’m ready to add additional exercise for your dogs too! Let’s go! We have a fenced yard and one 6 year old friendly Weimer. We keep our dog inside but playtime occurs outdoors on great summer days

Joplin cat parents share their Rover experiences
Ali took excellent care of our cat, Kiri, over a long weekend! She was very reliable to come check on the schedule we requested and she spent time playing with him and gave us daily reports and photos. He was happy when we got home but we think he enjoyed his visits with Ali.
Amanda was beyond fantastic with our kitties....So very detailed, so attentive to their needs. First time we met, she was down engaging with the kitties immediately, aaking questions and making sure we had everyrhing she needed to know to take care of the kitties. We are planning on using Amanda every time we need a sitter for our fur babies and would not hesitate to rexommend her to our friends/family!
