“Katie did an amazing job with our two dogs. Communication was great and she is good with dogs. Would highly recommend.”

“When I met Rachel she was very friendly and loving to my dogs. She got down to their level and loved on them and took them out for a test walk. She always took care of the dogs at the time we agreed on and sent me pictures and updates on how the visit went. The dogs enjoyed the outdoor breaks that she gave them!”

About: I own a dog myself and have raised her and trained her on my own since I was 14. I love being surrounded by all types of dogs and their own little personalities. I currently have my locations in the Columbia area! I am a Mizzou student and am looking for potential dogs to walk, and or visit. I am free in the mornings until 9, and then free in the afternoons after 2. Some days vary, so we can discuss! I care for my own dog by prioritizing activness. She loves to go outside, with our fenched in backyard, and we play with a ball. I also love taking her for walks. But outside time isn’t always available, so I like to teach her new tricks or (gently) play with a toy inside. I think it’s also important to prioritize their health, making sure they eat and drink plenty of water.

“Very warm and attentive!”

“Hollys communication is great! I appreciate that she was willing to cut walks short during a heat wave and hang with Pepe inside a little bit to give him the full time together!”

About: I have taken care of 2 dogs in my life. I know the basic’s, example , feeding, walking, and bathing. Wanting to spend my time to help all dog owners find someone they can trust while they are away. I’m working Full time currently but have time mostly in the evenings throughout the whole week. Giving time for your dog and providing love till you are ready to pick them up or drop off I have a fenced yard with neighbors fence near mine. They do have pets as well,Husky's, they are vocal and jumpy but I mostly supervise outside in case anything may happen. My home is near a dog park where they can have more space to roam and get all there energy out.

About: I've been the go-to pet sitter for friends and family for years, including week-long stays watching dogs in their own homes, as well as regular check-ins on both indoor and outdoor cats. I know how much routine and comfort matter to pets when their people are away, and I take that seriously. I'm a lifelong cat person at heart—my cat Gemma (full name Gemma J Hendrix Shanahan, if we're being formal) is a black cat with a spunky personality, and my actual life mission is making sure she's the coziest gal in the world. That same mindset carries over to every pet I care for: attentive, affectionate, and tuned in to what makes each pet feel safe and comfortable. I'm currently in a flexible stretch while I await my bar exam results, which means I have plenty of availability right now for walks, drop-ins, and even extended or overnight stays. I know that kind of open schedule can be hard to come by, so I'm happy to be flexible around your travel dates or last-minute needs. I take caring for pets very seriously, and safety is always my first priority. Whether we're on a walk, playing in the backyard, or just hanging out on the couch, I provide individualized, attentive care based on what each pet needs and is comfortable with. In a client's home, I stick closely to your routines—feeding schedules, walk times, medications, and any specific rules you have—so your pet's environment stays as consistent and stress-free as possible while you're away. I never leave pets unsupervised in unfamiliar or unsecured areas, and I keep a close eye on behavior and body language so I can catch early signs of stress, illness, or discomfort. I'm also happy to send photo or video updates so you have peace of mind while you're away, and I'll always reach out directly if anything seems off rather than waiting until you're back.

“Morgan and her mini-assistant 😉 are they best team! They show up early, and are very communicative. Pippa absolutely adores them. Would recommend to anyone, and will definitely use again.”

About: With 4 years of dog sitting and walking experience, I’ve cared for puppies through seniors. What sets me apart is my patient approach and genuine love for dogs and cats. I can do puppy training (potty training, basic commands) and senior care with gentle walks and extra TLC. Your pet gets consistent, compassionate attention with photos and updates so you can relax. I treat every pup like family. Since I’m currently between jobs, I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to your dog. I can easily accommodate daily walks, multiple visits per day, overnight stays, or last minute requests. For in home sitting, I follow your exact routine, feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any medications. Your dog gets plenty of attention, cuddles, and exercise while I keep your home secure and tidy. For dog walking and potty breaks, I come to your home, warmly greet your pup, and provide a safe outing with exercise and potty time. Each visit includes fresh water, cleanup, and loving attention.

About: I worked at Summit Pet Care for four years. I worked in the daycare, front desk, and kennels department. I have made valuable relationships with several clients. For those clients I have pet sat for them while they have been out of town. I have also walked many of their pups during a busy for them. I work Monday, Wednesday, and Friday and the rest of the week make time to exercise my own dog. Along with getting online classes done for UCM.. I care for my pets by always getting them with a clam but happy energy. First thing I always do with any pup is take them outside making sure there are no accidents in the home. If I am just meeting the pup I always allow them time to get used to me and make sure I am a loving person.

About: Ive been doing Rover now for almost 2 years and it has brought me so much joy and new friends! I worked a summer at kc zoo and it was the most fun job I have ever had. I've had dogs and cats my whole life. Also around horses from my uncle. I have adopted all of my animals from shelters. I love my dogs and cats like they are family. I have a teenage son I have to keep out of petco or any other animal place otherwise he wants to bring all the animals home, joking but not completely untrue. It's how we ended up with our Kitty Maisey. We even took care of the class's bearded dragon over spring break during Covid. He will come along on visits if available as he is the animal whisperer and wants to be a vet. Our 2 dogs are Dottie (our adopted covid pointer mix pup who is the sweetest girl and loves to have visitors to play with), and Marley who is our very sweet, laid back senior dog. Both our pups were rescues. Marley is afraid of thunderstorms and fireworks so we sre familliar with giving medications and making dogs feel safe and comfortable. Dottie is allergic to something during the late summer and September month and takes medicine for that allergy at that time. We believe in treats but only rawhide free and dental bones. Please bring your own food and treats and let me know if you prefer not to share our treats. We also have 2 cats that are used to dogs and in fact think that each dog is their mommy since we got them as kittens and have an attachment to their respective dog mommy. You will even find cats and dogs snuggling together on the bed. Or Moose playing with Dottie in his tunnel. I have had animals with special needs from a diabetic cat that I gave insulin injections to treating animals with special needs. I live right down the street from a great dog park here in belton. We would love to take any new friends to visit. Please let me know if you prefer them not to go to the dog park and we can stay here and play. We have a fenced back yard but one side is only 4 ft. I work from home as a director so I have a very flexible schedule. My son does play competitive soccer so sometimes weekends have us at soccer field for about 2 hours. I have a fenced yard 3 sides are 6 foot privacy and one has a 4 foot chain link. I follow my client's care directions in their homes.

About: Hello, I have had experience with dogs my whole life, especially giant dogs, from Great Danes to mastiffs, from Shepard to labs, my family has owned and trained them all. I love to spend time learning how to train and engage with dogs of all breeds, I am not discriminatory towards any breed! All our dogs were raised since they were weeks old. Walking, exercise, training, feeding, snuggling, I’ve done it all. I work as a mechanic 4 days out of the week from 7-6pm. My shift rotates I always have Sunday and Mondays off and every other Friday and Saturday. If you have questions about my availability I’ll be happy to answer, I don’t mind pet sitting at anytime. I am willing to work around my schedule. I am currently in an apartment, if your puppet has good behavior when I step out I don’t mind leaving them out. I am familiar with crate training, so I can also put your puppet into crate if you feel more comfortable. Since I am in a small home I would take the pup out 3 times a day for walking/bathroom/exercise.

About: I own a horse and have had the same horse for 21 years. I used to own a Himalayan cat, and other cats before that. I dog sit for family sometimes. I am home most of the time so it is an easy thing to do. I work from home and am here most of the time. Hello! I live in a quiet neighborhood, and I have a yard with no pets around. Nothing dangerous for the pet to get into. Thanks

About: Growing up in the country, I’ve had years with our dogs, cats and many other animals! Raising and wrangling 3 puppies from the shelter, we had them all 13 years. We had cats from birth to grave, and cared for them inside, outside and in the barn! I love to care for your pups and kitties, now that I don’t have any of my own. I keep our home and little one alive and well, and love to add a dog to our daily walks! I’m flexible during the morning+afternoon, and available some Saturdays as well. Although we don’t have space for our own pup right now, I love to come make sure your pups are well taken care of! I’d love to help, whether it’s just a check in and friendly pat, or a walk and belly rub!

“Jake absolutely adores Shelby! She went out of her way to meet us before the walk (Christmas night) and I really appreciated that. Jake is in good hands with her and I’m so glad we found her! Definitely will be using Shelby regularly.”

About: Before I had children, I had a pointer puppy. She was my world and I adored her like a child. I have had pointers, a springer spaniel, horses, a bird, a series of reptiles and cats since. My late husband was a rural veterinarian, so I am comfortable giving medication to pets. I am currently out of work and have a lot of free time during the week. I am also available most weekends. I can help with your busy schedule! I treat pets and homes as if they are my own. Your space will be cleaner than when you left so that you come home to a relaxing environment. I want to do what is most comfortable for your pets so I will keep their routine as closely as possible as when you're home.

About: I’ve had over 5+ years of experience with a variety of furry friends. I have experience with cats, dogs, guinea pigs, rabbits, and some reptiles. I am very patient, caring and gentle making sure I set up all animals for success. I am currently a teacher and work eight hours. When I get off work, I would love to help your furry family members feel safe and taken care of while you are away or not able to. I will make sure that your pet has all the things they need as well as an environment that is inviting, fun, playful, and loving. I am happy to entertain them, play, and love on them for you!

About: I’ve loved and cared for animals for many years and currently care for my own dogs, bird, and aquariums every day. Friends and family have trusted me to help care for their pets while they’re away. My background in healthcare has taught me to be dependable, detail-oriented, and calm in unexpected situations. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I’ll treat your pet with the same patience, kindness, and attention that I give my own. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free experience so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I currently have a flexible schedule and will keep my Rover calendar updated so it always reflects my availability. I make pet care a priority and enjoy spending quality time with animals through walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship. I understand how important consistency is for pets and will follow your instructions and routines to help them feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I know every pet is different because I’ve experienced that with my own dogs. One of my dogs has epilepsy and takes medication on a strict schedule, so I understand how important routines, careful observation, and clear communication are. I have a fenced backyard and will follow your pet’s feeding, medication, exercise, and care instructions exactly as you ask. Whether your pet is young, senior, or has special needs, I’ll treat them with patience, kindness, and the same level of care I give my own pets. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you know your pet is safe and happy while you’re away.
