Alissa is great! She arrived early and was very welcoming towards our dog (he’s very excited when meeting new people). We’re excited to have her back again

About: I have has the responsibility of taking care of family pets since I was 12. I got my first dog to myself when I was 22 and realized they are more than just pets. I now have 2 more that I would do and have done anything for including midnight pharmacy runs and making sure they have a fenced yard to play safely in. I treat all pets exactly how I treat my own. I work full time Monday to Friday but my work day ends at 1pm so I have afternoon and evenings free other than taking care of my own dogs. I never let dogs out on their own even in a fenced yard. I like to watch to make sure they are going potty and not getting into trouble or eating things as we know they do. On walks we won't socialize with other pets unless specified by owners.

Abigail was so wonderful to my dogs, as if they were her own. She went the extra mile & tidied up their food bowls after they ate, and sent lots of photos & updates during the day.

Ashley was great! She gave the friendly cat lots of attention, and she made an incredible effort to keep track of the one that wouldn’t come out. Her updates and pictures made me feel comfortable being away from my cats. I really appreciated the care she gave to them.

About: With over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds— including dogs, cats, and even exotic animals— I bring both knowledge and genuine compassion to every job. I understand that pets are family, not just animals, and I treat them with the same attentiveness, patience, and respect I’d want for my own. Whether it’s daily care, special routines, or unique needs, I’m committed to making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m chronically self-employed because I love the flexibility it offers. I’m used to taking on a variety of jobs and adjusting to my client’s needs week to week. I will never take a job I can’t fully commit to, so you can rest assured I will give your pets my full attention when they’re on my schedule. Every pet has their quirks so it’s important to have fully transparent communication with my clients. I will always encourage a meeting with the clients and pets prior to the job starting, as I believe it’s best to get familiar with the pets and their home. I often request to visit at the time I’d normally visit while the client is away, because I want to see the walking/feeding/crating routine in its fullness. I ask a lot of questions and take notes to make sure we’re on the same page. I also request the clients to leave me their contact info, vet’s info, and an emergency contact’s info to make sure I can be prepared for any emergencies that may arise. I encourage clients to ask any questions they have, even if it seems silly. Likewise, if I have any questions, I will ask them instead of guessing. I often send pictures and updates throughout the stay. I stay off my phone as much as possible to be alert and cautious. I take care of your pets the way I’d want someone to take care of mine.

About: I've grown up around animals my whole life. I grew up with St. Bernards and very clingy cats. Now that I have my own place I have 3 orange cats and one little senior dog who I love with all my heart! I hope I'm able to show your pets the same love and care I show my own. I currently work 3 days a week at my full time job so that gives me plenty of time to take care of your pets! I'm open to taking care of your pets at odd hours. I can do any management your pet may need including medicine handling, teeth cleaning, bathing, etc. I do this things regularly to accommodate my own senior pets. I also have a sweet little dog that would love to play with yours! She is very patient with shy pets and is very respectful.

About: What sets me apart is my hands-on experience and genuine love for all pets. I’m a devoted dog mom and have experience caring for both puppies and senior dogs, which means I understand the different needs at every stage of life. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, administering medications, gentle exercise, and even basic training for pups. I also bring patience, attentiveness, and a nurturing approach to every pet I care for. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. I currently work at a local daycare in Rolla Missouri and would like too also care for animals in my spare time I love pets In my home, pets have a safe, comfortable space to relax, play, and explore, including a fully fenced yard for exercise. I provide daily walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of attention, making sure each pet feels loved and secure. For pets in their own homes, I follow the owner’s routine closely—feeding on schedule, administering any medications, and giving plenty of companionship and care. I always prioritize keeping pets happy, healthy, and stress-free, whether they’re with me or in the comfort of their own home.

About: I love cats and dogs. I have had some training from college classes for veterinary assistance I have also volunteered at the cuba animal shelter. My availability is pretty open. I am a mom of three so there are days I wont be available. I will NOT be available on Tuesdays or Thursdays. I will be available on mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays , also sometimes on the weekends. I will make sure your pets are well taken care of, play time, outdoors time, feed, bathed if needed. I always make sure have their basic necessities such as food and water. Play time is just a bonus for me and your animal. I love playing fetch with dogs and running around with them. Cats usually do their own thing, but when they want some love or to play I'm always up for it.

About: I've been a Rover sitter for over four years, and I've enjoyed all the different breeds and personalities I've gotten to interact with! I have experience administering medication and caring for elderly pets. My husband and I recently added an Australian Shepherd to our family, and she loves getting to meet and play with new friends. Since I work from home, I'm able to provide quite a bit of interaction for your dog(s), and we'll prioritize playtime and walks. During my time with Rover, I've gained experience working with puppies, small breeds, and a lovely Great Dane. Whatever your situation is, I can't wait to meet your pups! I'm happy to schedule a meet and greet before we book any services to ensure that you're comfortable and at ease that your dog will have an enjoyable stay.

About: I have had pets my entire life, primarily cats as well as a few dogs. I currently have a dog and cat, so taking care of either is second nature. I have also had two cats at one time and understand the nature of multi-cat households. I have pet sat many times for friends and family. These include homes with multiple dogs, multiple cats, a mix, and even a snake. Reptiles and rodents don't bother me! These experiences have also included long-term stay (1 week+) and animals with additional care needs (senior, daily eye drops, diabetic with necessary insulin injections at meals). I am currently in vet tech school so I know what to look for to keep your pets safe! I also have experience volunteering in shelters with many animals of different temperaments. I am currently not working and doing school online! This allows me to have a very flexible schedule so I am able to accept same day requests! I live with my partner so he is able to care for our pets while I am away. Because I have pets of my own, I don't currently accept jobs that would require me to keep them in my home. As such, I am more than happy to stay with your pets the entire time you are away (unless we discuss any time I may have preplanned events). I would stay the night with them if you are gone overnight so we don't have any accidents or stress! I would do my best to uphold any schedule you already have in place (ie feeding, walks, medicine, bedtime).

About: I’ve been dog sitting for people, and taking care of my own animals for 13 years, I am also a dog breeder, who’s breeds shepherds, so i know how to handle working dogs, as well as young pups. I lived in colorado and walked multiple dogs at once. While taking care of them, i can also work on any training that’s needed as well. I am currently working part time, due to being a breeder, so i am available everyday, but times very. I have a job that i can leave and come back to as well for quick walks and check ins. if dog is pet friendly, I have a fenced in area with doggy door at home. I play frisbee/fetch multiple time a day. If dog isn’t friendly towards all, I will come to your home and bring dog to dog park or on walk. I focus on treat reward system, i’ve found it most efficient. I can bring a ball or frisbee if dog likes that. I like to get them worn out before leaving them at home again.

Logan came to let my 2 big dogs out super last minute. My boys looked so happy in the pictures she sent and I felt completely comfortable with them in her care. I think Dexter and Benson just made a new best friend! I would highly recommend Logan and hope to work with her again soon.
