“Matt and Angel did a wonderful job taking care of our dogs! They sent daily updates/pictures and clearly cared about making sure our pets were happy and well looked after. We felt completely at ease knowing our dogs were in such great hands. We will definitely be using them again and highly recommend their services to anyone looking for trustworthy and loving pet sitters!”


“We were Samantha’s first River clients and it was perfect. I had about an hour round trip from my house to pick up/drop him off and it was 100% worth it. She kept us updated with pictures that were adorable! And had everything ready to go for pickup. 100% recommend Samantha’s services!”


“Kelly and her husband are a treasure! They were so gracious about accepting a boarding request that was very last minute and they were even more gracious about my activity running late. Both the dogs were very well taken care of, even the senior one who is a bit spoiled at home! They were relaxed and content when they got picked up. I would absolutely make use of Kelly’s services again and would enthusiastically recommend her to anyone I know. It’s can be nerve racking to leave your dogs with someone you don’t know, but Kelly instantly had me completely at ease. Not only is she a good dog sitter but, perhaps more importantly, you can tell she’s a good person. Excellent, smooth experience! Thanks Kelly!!”



“Victoria was amazing with my dog Marlowe. I am so pleased with the stay! She sent multiple pictures and updates, which I love. I would not hesitate to recommend Victoria for dog sitting. I will also be using her in the future when we visit Columbia.”


“Mariah and Collin were great to leave our golden doodle with over the holiday weekend! We were able to schedule with little notice and were so happy that it was able to work out as we had a change in plans with where our pup was going. Mariah was great at sending pics and giving us updates each day, along with giving Marley the meds he needs. We are so glad we found them and will be excited to schedule with them again in the future!”


“This was my first experience using rover and it could not have gone any better! Wendy was great at keeping us updated and sending us daily pictures! Bear had a great time socializing with other dogs and non-stop playing. Would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone!”


“Elizabeth took great care of our girl for 5 days at the last minute when our usual sitter had to back out due to an emergency. She gave a lot of updates and would definitely recommend her!”


“Catlyn was great with Pugsley, sent plenty of updates and pics and made she was familiar with his routine when we arrived. We highly recommend her and will definitely engage her again!”


“Thank you to Stephanie and Kyle for taking such wonderful care of Mooncake! Stephanie sent several detailed, thoughtful, and warm updates throughout the day about how Mooncake was doing—and numerous photographs and videos of his adventures with her sweet dogs. It was a relief to know that he was being looked after with so much care, and I could not have asked for a better experience.”


“So thankful for Jen, makes taking a family vacations guilt-free bc our four-legged family member gets a vacation all of her own with other friends! Jen was patient with travel plans and assisted greatly!!”

“Christine is so kind and communicates very well. She loved on my fur baby and sent daily updates with pictures. She has a warm home with a wonderful fenced in back yard. My dog loved his stay. I will definitely use her again.”


“Omg!! Margaret was heaven sent! Our cousin didn’t answer his door to get our pup just 4 1/2 short hours before our flight boarded out of Stl. I ran to Rover and begged for a last minute board. Margaret graciously accepted Teddy into her home and took such good care of him. She was very communicative and kept me informed of how he was doing over this 3 day stay. Our flights were delayed by over 12 hours she was very flexible and allowed him to stay an extra day with no problem. If you are seeking a communicative, kind, nurturing and flexible board, I 10/10 recommend her!”


“This was our very first time leaving our Ivy girl so naturally we were very nervous. Laura offered to do a “meet & greet” to see how Ivy interacted with her incredibly sweet kids & dogs. It went so well all of our nerves disappeared. She sent photos of Ivy everyday - loved that!! We will be rebooking Laura for our upcoming trip in May & September!!!”


“Megan was very kind and patient with Marty as she adapted to the new environment. She made our special girl feel right at home and sent us daily pics and videos that showed us she was having a great time so we could have peace of mind and enjoy our family vacation. Thank you Megan!”


About: I have taken care of various family pets from cats and dogs to horses and cows. I grew up around multiple farms and have been trusted in helping take care of these farmer's animals. I have kept multiple dogs and cats at my home for pet owners. I enjoy taking walks daily and love to have a friendly pet by my side! I am beginning my junior year at Mizzou, majoring in Elementary Education. I am currently a student at Mizzou and have classes four days a week at various times. I will have multiple opportunities free to check in on pets, take them for walks, or let them outside. I am a collage student with frequent breaks and a flexible schedule so the pet won’t be home alone for long periods of time. I live in a safe neighborhood which is convenient for taking dogs on walks. I have a small grassed backyard for dogs to be outside on a leash.

“Lisa and Mike were so nice and welcoming to our pup. I really appreciated the quick communication and several pictures and updates while we were gone. Our dog had a great time and I think was a bit sad to come home. 😊”
