“Erin was fantastic! She sent photos & comments at every visit - she really cared about my senior kitties who were a bit anxious in my absence! I felt comfortable with her caring for them while I was away - definitely at the top of my list of great Rover sitters!”
“Thank you for taking such good care of the pups for us! We very much appreciated the communication and the photos. You put our mind at ease while we were away! Looking forward to working with you again!”
About: I have taken care of my own pets for all of my life. People have noticed the care and time I put into their lives and have trusted me to train and take care of of others peoples pets as well. I love walking, playing, feeding and anything you can think of with your pets. I am available pretty much every day all day except for Wednesday and Sunday morning. Feel free to contact me and work out a good time. Anything needed I can provide at clients home. Only thing I am unable to do is keep pets at my own home. Just give me details and I’ll be ready.
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life! I’ve enjoyed taking care of my family and friend's pets since I was around 14. I also worked at a doggy daycare/boarding place for over a year, taking care of up to around one hundred dogs a day. I often stayed overnight there to make sure they were all doing good. Including all dogs from young to old and dogs with disabilities, illnesses, etc. With this experience taking care of one dog to a couple dogs will be no problem for me and I’ll have a great time doing it! I’m currently in college and most of my classes are online. I’d be more than happy to look after your pups while working on assignments on my laptop. Your dogs will be my first priority and I’ll still have plenty of time to play, go on walks and give them a ton of attention! I’m more than happy to follow whatever schedule your dog is used to with feeding times, meds, etc. and any other particular things I can do make them happy! Along with being respectful to your home and all the rules you have, including taking care of household duties like taking out the trash before pickup and etc.
About: I have experience in ALL animals even farm animals. I have loved animals from a very young age. Animals are my specialty. There is nothing I love more. I have full time availability to care for your pets! I work part time but pets are allowed at my work if necessary. My neighborhood is pet friendly and I have a fenced yard with puppy panels for small animals. Animal care makes me happy and i’m available for any of your needs. I have a fenced yard and a nice pet friendly neighborhood to go on walks. I can come to my clients home as well and take them for walks or feed and water them. I am available to do anything.
About: I am an experienced and trustworthy pet-sitter, dog walker, and animal trainer. With an education that qualifies me as a certified reward-based dog trainer with the skills and talent needed to train anything from service dogs to search and rescue dogs, you can expect nothing less than the best care for your fur-babies from me. As a Doordash driver, my schedule is very flexible and I can find the time for you and your babies just about any day. Let's talk! When in a client's home, I will be sure to stay alert and mindful as always. I can offer play, feeding, treats, pets, cuddles, brushing, and more! I am a firm believer that animals deserve the greatest care possible, and will do what I can to provide that top-notch care and attention, made even more effective with my ability to read the body language of animals.
About: Neighbors friends and families have all relied on me to bath, walk, medicate their babies and I worked at a doggy daycare and boarding resort! I’m currently working between the vet clinic and grants farm live stock care! But my schedule has more room and I want to dedicate it to any and all animals I can! I have one dog well trained, free roam of the house, allowed on everything, potty trained and go out for his walk every day, and takes days off as he wants!
“Mary is great! My cats are shy and not always the easiest to deal with, but Mary was able to become friends with them. She went above and beyond in caring for them while I was gone and I came back to happy cats!”
About: I have taken care of many dogs even ones with medical issues and I also am very active so walking them would be no problem! I work full time but I am able to make it work , I am also doing online college so that makes it easier also! Whether or not your dogs are trained off leash, I would prefer walking them, or taking them out on their leash just in case they don’t listen and runoff!
About: What sets me apart is the level of personal care and attention I give every pet I meet. I treat them like family, not just clients. I have experience with dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies needing basic training and consistency, to senior dogs who need patience, gentle handling, and special care. I’m comfortable administering medications, working with shy or nervous pets, and adapting to each dog's individual needs. Your pet’s happiness, safety, and comfort are always my top priorities. I’m a teacher on summer break, which means I have a very open and flexible schedule to dedicate to pet care. With more time at home and fewer daily commitments, I can give your pet the attention, playtime, and companionship they deserve throughout the day. Whether it's long walks, belly rubs, or just being there to keep them company, I’m able to fully focus on their needs during the summer months. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I stick closely to their usual routines for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest to help them feel at ease. I keep a clean, pet friendly environment and always prioritize safety, whether that's securing leashes, monitoring play, or giving them their own cozy space to relax. I also make sure to send regular updates and photos so you can feel connected and confident that your pet is happy while you’re away.
“She did a wonderful job! I have never had a stranger out to watch my dogs before but when Kyra came in it was like she had known them for years. We will definitely be using her services again.”
“Alicia is so sweet with the cats. She takes special care with our senior kitty. I love that she stays in communication with us while we're gone and has been really flexible. I know our cats are already looking forward to seeing her again.”
“We just loved how easy this was. She was dependable and very kind. Kitchi seemed to love her from the pics we saw. It made our trip so much easier and we had a great time knowing Kitchi was in good hands. Excellent service! Thanks!!”
“We needed someone to come by our house. Once a day to check on our 2 cats and 3 turtles. She went way beyond for what we wanted. She hung out with our animals and kept us more than inform. Now it feels like Holly is part of the family.”
About: I have an awesome job that has me working from 6am-2:30 off on weekends..so plenty of time for pups! I’m the type of person that will lay down in the floor, and love on the dogs and cats! I currently have just a big fluffy orange kitty of my own, but growing up, we had older dogs, and cats. One of our dogs had epilepsy..so i have experience taking care of all kinds of little babies! I recently moved in its my boyfriend in Crystal City, MO, and we constantly see people walking their dogs, and just getting lots of fresh air, and i want to meet them all!! Let me love on your babies! My job is very cool on hours, so I’m off work by 215, and i get home around 3, so it’s perfect time for most people still working, and their babies are inside, wanting freedom! I don’t work weekends, so I’m usually pretty free to make multiple potty break trips, and if needed, i can even stay overnight, on the weekends! Currently, i cannot board any animals in my home. We don’t have a fenced in yard, and my cat does not work well with other animals.
About: I have had all kinds of animals and have been around even more. Your pet is your family and I will treat them as it. I can take on a few afterwork needs m-f, and mainly any full days worth of care could be on the weekend. I can be somewhat be flexible, but I do have a full time job. I make sure the pet(s) have attention, playtime, frequent potty breaks, and food/water depending on how they are. (If a dog needs scheduled feedings or if they can handle a full bowl all the time). You’ll get solid proof of poop/pee breaks when “walking”. You’ll get a gallery of photos at the end of “house sitting” stay of your lovely pups!
