Pet Sitting Murphy

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover and experienced pet caregiver who treats every pet like family. I’ve owned dogs my entire life and currently have a high-energy Husky named Luca and a sweet senior Border Collie mix named Zoey. Living with dogs at different life stages has made me comfortable caring for pets with all kinds of personalities, energy levels, and needs. My professional experience began at a veterinary clinic before I spent four years working as a dog bather, where I learned how to safely handle dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. As an elementary school teacher, I’ve also developed the patience, reliability, and communication skills that help both pets and their owners feel comfortable and confident. Whether your pet is staying in my home, needs a drop-in visit, or is joining me for a walk, I’ll tailor my care to fit their individual routine and personality. My dogs are friendly and well-socialized, and Luca especially loves making new friends! We enjoy neighborhood walks, and with your permission, I’m happy to take your dog to a local park for extra exercise and enrichment. I also have experience caring for cats, so your feline family members are welcome too. I believe communication is just as important as great pet care. During every booking, I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing exactly how your pet is doing. My goal is simple: I want you to feel completely at ease while you’re away, knowing your pet is safe, loved, and treated like one of my own. I have a very flexible schedule and can dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pet. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, potty breaks, or companionship, I can easily fit their routine into my day. I am committed to providing reliable care and keeping you updated while you are away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs before providing care. I follow all owner instructions carefully and make sure pets have plenty of attention, exercise, fresh water, and a safe environment. I believe clear communication is important, so I will provide regular updates and photos to give you peace of mind while you’re away.

“Ryan is a breath of fresh air after having several poor pet sitter experiences. We are very thankful to have found her, as we are completely at ease during our trips out of town. She is thoughtful, prompt, and thorough. We love her and so do Bonnie and Panda!”

About: I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, breeds, and personalities. I have a Great Dane and a Jack Russell, so I’m comfortable caring for both large and small dogs. I’ve also pet-sat for neighbors and family members, helping with feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and making sure their pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m patient, responsible, and understand that every pet has its own personality and needs. I always follow the owner’s instructions and do my best to keep each pet’s normal routine consistent. Whether it’s going for a walk, playing, or simply keeping them company, I treat every pet with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own dogs! I’m currently in college, so I have a pretty flexible schedule through the week. Pet care fits well into my routine because I can plan walks and drop-in visits around my classes and other responsibilities. I’m also available on weekends and can usually make time for afternoon, or evening depending on the day. I make sure to keep my availability updates so I only accept bookings I know I can commit to. When caring for pets in a clients home, I follow the owners instructions closely so their pets can stay as comfortable as possible in their normal routine. I can help with feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and giving them attention. I also make sure doors and gates are secure and leave the home the way I found it. I’m happy to send pictures and updates so owners know how their pet is doing while they’re away!

About: I’m an experienced dog owner with years of hands-on care for dogs of different breeds, sizes, energy levels, and personalities. I currently care for a cat (My sweet Sassy) and multiple dogs, including German Shepherds, Belgian Malinois and my small breed Corgi Beagle mix Luke-y so I’m very comfortable with large, active, and high-energy breeds. I’m experienced with structured walks, exercise, feeding routines, basic commands, medication schedules, and giving each dog individualized attention. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I will treat your babies with the same patience, attentiveness, and love that I give my loves. I’m currently in the military but love nothing more than hanging out with my babies - and more babies we meet the greater! :) My babies are such a huge part of my everyday routine, so adding another pup to the mix comes pretty naturally to me. We’re big on walks, outside time, playing fetch and tug and just hanging out on the couch. I’m used to planning my day around my cat and dogs and making sure each gets the attention and exercise they need. I have multiple dogs of my own, so I know every dog is different and has their own personality and needs. I’m very comfortable with XL / big dogs and high-energy breeds, but I’m also big on keeping everyone safe and structured. I’ll follow whatever routine you have for your pup and treat them like I would want someone to treat mine.

About: Hi! We’re Lainie and Stephen, and we’ve been caring for dogs for years in our cozy home in Fenton near the Bluffs. We know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your dog with someone you trust, so we focus on creating a calm, safe, and personalized experience for every pup who stays with us. Our laid-back dog Lucy loves having friends to play with, and we have a large fenced yard for plenty of exercise and outdoor time. We also have experience with senior dogs, administering oral medications, and caring for dogs with special needs. We treat every dog like part of the family and love sending photo updates so you can relax knowing your pup is happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. Whether your dog loves playtime, cuddles, or a quieter environment, we do our best to make them feel right at home. 🐾 We live in a fully fenced home with a safe backyard, and both of us work primarily from home, so your dog is rarely left alone and always has attention and care. Our home is perfect for dogs who enjoy play, family interaction, and a predictable routine. We especially love hosting longer stays and repeat guests, giving dogs a comfortable, home-like environment while their families are away. We also have a cat who mostly stays downstairs, so all pets can feel at ease. We can’t wait to welcome your dog into our home and treat them like part of the family! My husband and I both work primarily from home so your pet would have around the clock care. Weekends and evenings kids are home for playtime! we have a fenced in backyard, and plenty of room inside for a crate and/or bed for your pet! plenty of room to safely roam around indoors or out.

“Stephanie has done drop-in visits multiple times for our two pups and we would highly recommend her. She keeps us updated with each visit and takes wonderful care of our dogs. So thankful we’ve found her!”

About: Hi! I’m Jamie. I’ve been working with dogs for over 14 years & have experience with a wide range of breeds, personalities & needs. My passion is caring for medically fragile dogs, including those who are blind, deaf, or recovering from surgery. I’ve fostered over 25 different breeds of dogs (& over 75 dogs total) through CARE, APA, Even Chance Pit Bull Rescue, & Unchained Melodies since I started fostering in college. I am very active in the rescue world and previously have served on a board for a nonprofit animal rescue, so very experienced with rescue dogs. Dogs I have worked with come from many different & difficult situations including hoarding cases, neglect, abuse & organized fighting. I also have experience with other animals including cats & bunnies. I currently have 1 foster dog. I am a teacher, so during the school year I am away Monday through Friday from 7:30 to 3:45. During the summer (June through August), I am help with running a few kids to camps but otherwise am home & hanging out with the dogs all day. Dogs fit perfectly into my summer routine & get plenty of time to run around my fenced-in yard or relax inside if they are at my house for daycare or boarding. If I am swinging by for a drop in or walk, dogs also fit perfectly into my daily routine and are treated as if they were my own. For safety, I do require that dogs who stay at my house be crate trained. I crate dogs when I am not home to provide a calm, secure environment. I also have a camera on them for the short amount of time I am away so I know that they are always safe. When I am not working, I am home & fully focused on the dogs in my care. While staying with me, dogs have full access to my fenced yard & my home, but they are never left unattended. Please note that I am happy to schedule a meet & greet, but during this time I do not allow dogs from other homes to meet each other. Any current dogs in my home will remain crated. This allows your dog to settle in safely before exploring a new environment & helps prevent any unnecessary stress. Pets are treated like family whether they are staying in my home or I am visiting them at yours. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable & well cared for at all times. I follow your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible to help reduce stress. This includes feeding schedules, potty breaks, medication if needed & plenty of playtime. I love sending photo & video updates so you can stay connected to your pet while you are away. For boarding in my home, I send one update every 24 to 48 hours. If you prefer more frequent updates, just let me know in advance. For drop-ins & walks, I send an update after each visit with pictures & a quick summary of how your pet is doing. I always make sure they get fresh water, bathroom breaks & attention based on their needs.

“Bethany did an amazing job, following my instructions to a tee and checking in on each visit. This gave me such peace of mind, especially with my elderly boy. The boys seemed happy upon our arrival home. I will definitely request her in future!”

About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was 18 for both dogs and cats of all ages! I’ve had experience with cats, puppies, big dogs, and small dogs. I’ve also had experience with giving medication to both dogs and cats. Pet sitting is something I enjoy doing and I always love them like my own! I do my very best to make sure all your pets are happy and healthy under my care :) I’m currently home from college for the summer so I have quite a bit of free time for check-ins! I’m pretty flexible so I can work with whatever you need. I follow any directions given to me for your pets, I like to make sure to keep them in their usual routine since I know that their owner being away can be stressful for them.

“Amy was a life saver! This was our first time using the rover app and she made sure our Dog was very well taken care. She made sure to send us alot of pictures and kept us updated on the daily. Little does she know made my trip stress free knowing our dog was in good hands. I will definitely be using her services again.”

About: Through my life I have experienced taking care of family pets, from the puppy stage to crossing the rainbow bridge. I often think I love animals more than people. I am currently working from home part time with flexible hours, so I can play with and cuddle your fur babies as much as they want. I can board, pet sit or just walk your dog weekdays or weekends day or night. I have a fenced in yard with one senior dog. I can crate a dog up to 40lbs. We can go for walks if desired.

About: Currently I have 3 dogs Chip, Spud and Freddie! They range from 17lb - 110lb and 3-13years old. I have experience with all types of dogs and would love to get to know yours! I have early mornings, evenings and weekends to help care for your animals while you are away or busy! I am happy to take last minute bookings! I will do my best to provide a fun and active outing for your dog during our walk. I am open to any suggestions during my time with your dog including different routes, parks and fetch!

About: I am a traveler who wants to spend weeks home with your pet!! I have owned dogs of all ages and know how to speak the language! Woof! I am extremely available when scheduled and will let you know otherwise. I make my own schedule so I am highly available when I am not traveling! Very flexible. Always honest about my availability and what I am able to provide. I am very good at reading what a dog needs and not lazy about it. Walk at 5 am? On it. Weird feeding times? Not a problem.

“Mike and Beth took wonderful care of our pup when we went out of town for the holidays! They went above and beyond to make sure our dog was comfortable while we were gone. Will definitely book again, thank you so much!”

“Perri took excellent care of our pups when we were away! Great communication, lots of photos, and our 3 dogs were spoiled with plenty of walks and play time. We highly recommend Perri!”

About: I am a very pet-oriented person, having had cats and dogs in my life since I was small. I am empathetic to when pets need extra reassurance and attention, and go the extra mile to make sure my furry friends feel comfortable and well cared for! I'm always available to answer any questions or concerns, and am independently insured outside of the Rover Guarantee. I am currently working part time which enables me with a lot of flexibility and free time to meet your pet care needs. Chances are great I will be able to accommodate your pet visit or pet sitting schedule needs so feel free to reach out and let's get acquainted! I prefer to care for pets in their regular home space to limit their stress. I will be careful to follow all instructions and prefer written instructions for pet care and any light home care needs you have.

About: I have had a dog my entire life growing up. My parents relied on me to take care of my childhood dog and I learned so much just by doing that. I am now 30 and got my own puppy about four years ago. I lover her so much! I give her biweekly baths, daily walks and hourly playtime! Whether it is a walk, daycare or overnight stay, you can trust me to love and care for your pup! I am a teacher so I have the summers off to take care of your dog! I like to wake up early and take my own dog on a walk to start my day. I have a very free and flexible schedule! I have a fenced in yard and mini Bernedoodle who loves all dogs! I am very responsible and my house and yard are extremely dog friendly.

“Kaladin seemed to love his time with Paige. They are quick and responsive and sends good updates with pics.”
