Sarah took great care of our kitty, Chuck, while we were away for nearly a week. She was very communicative, and followed instructions and came at the appointed times as planned. We were very happy with her care and would love to have Sarah take care of Chuck again when needed!

Sady was great to work with. Very good on communication and Lola loved her. Appreciated that she corrected Lola's behavior, and she did everything to accommodate last minute travel issues that delayed my return. Would have sady watch Lola again.

About: My while life has been surrounded with pets. I have always had dogs of very many sizes. I also have a 6 year old spoiled rabbit named kyle, a bird, a snake and 2 dogs. Besides personal pets and animal experience I have been pet sitting for family and friends since 8th grade. I also have experience in shelters helping care for cats and dogs. And now I walk dogs at the Humane Society for my job. I am saving up with this job and my job at the Humane Society for college! I am going to mizzou majoring in animal science to then go onto vet school. Beyond money this is an opportunity for more experience and fun as I am surrounding myself with my favorite thing which is animals! I am free to be scheduled at any time whether it be to walk, watch, or drop in on your pets any day of the week other than mon-fri 2:00-4:30 pm while I'm working. Other than that I am very flexible and happy to help out with your pets! I will happily follow all your requests and respect your space when I am pet sitting or walking your dog. I will be very attentive towards your animals as I care about them just like my own! I will also give them endless amounts of love!

Nicki did everything I requested and my babies were taken very good care of. She updated me when she was on her way over and took pictures. She gave both of my cats attention and one of them can be rather difficult.

About: I have been working in the animal field for 16 years. I also have experience administering medications of all types. I do try to keep to the animal's schedule as best as possible. I'm currently between jobs so I am able to keep your animals active. Once I'm employed again, I'll be able to fit your animal's needs before and after working hours. I prefer keeping your animals in their own home as it is less stressful for them. I keep as close to their schedule as I can on a daily basis.

This was my first time using Rover and doing drop In visits. I would definitely recommend. Hannah was excellent with my timid little older dog that had a slipped disc. He warmed up to her quickly, was excited to see her when she came and didn’t want her to leave; she took the best care of him. She left detailed updates daily with pictures. I was away for a week and she even offered to water my plants. I will definitely use Hannah again! Thank you so much!

Brooke did a fabulous job caring for my pup Baxter in our home over the weekend. He’s very attached to his Mama and worries when a suitcase appears. Well, the photos Brooke sent me at each visit showed a very happy, playful pup who seemed to love her! I had a worry-free trip and Baxter made a lovely new buddy! My first time using Rover, and I’m hooked! I will 💯 hire Brooke next time I travel - she’s amazing.

Stephen was very communicative, always sent me pictures during each visit, and always mentioned when he was on the way to visit. I appreciated a small paragraph/summary he would always give me at the end of each visit, and after the last visit, made sure to go over everything i kindly reminded him to before i came home. I enjoyed Stephen's energy and knew I could trust him with my babies.
