About: I have been around animals my entire life. Including dogs and cats. I feel that I know what it takes to make a customer feel like their furr babies are not only safe but taken care of! I have multiple side hustles, and this is one that I will be spending most of my time working with. I am super excited to meet new furry faces and get to know, and gain trust from new people! I take out my dog multiple times a day while i'm home alone, feed him twice a day with treat rewards for going potty, and occasionally feed my cats when others in my house cannot get to it. I make sure my dog/ and cats have a clean area to play in and lots of love and care ❤️
“Jessica went above and beyond in caring for my 3 cats while I was gone. She spent extra time making sure my house was clean and made an extra trip back to check on my cats. She always responds quickly when I contact her and was always right on time for check ins. I would highly recommend her and hope I can use her again.”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Lily was absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond while caring for our pets during our Florida trip. She communicated with us after every visit, sent plenty of pictures, and gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She administered medication to our feisty cat, Piper, without any issues, and took such loving, attentive care of our elderly dog, Gabby. It was clear she genuinely cared about them and treated them like they were her own. I can’t recommend Lily enough! We came home to two happy, well-cared-for pets, and we’ll absolutely be booking with her again in the future. Thank you, Lily!”
“Bekha is amazing! She’s excellent at communicating, taking photos, and even checks in if something seems off. Our furbaby loved her visits. Highly recommend and hope to use again in the future.”
About: I’m an active adventurous person ready to play with the dogs or take them on walks. I have helped family, friends and neighbors watch their dogs, whether it be just a check in or a week at a time! I work as a phlebotomist in my other times, help family and create crafts for my page! Seeing as I have a cat of my own, I make sure to put her into my daily schedule and make time for her to play with her and her as well as make sure her litter stays clean and her food and water bowl stay full! My cat is an indoor cat. Although she is aloof, she still loves to come cuddle and I always make sure that her food and water bowls are full, her litter is clean and her medicine is taken
About: I've taken care of a bunch of different types of dogs. I've grown up around dogs and cats all my life, taking care of them in all stages of their lives. Right now, I have my husky who is seven years old and can officially say I've taken care of the craziest dog ever!!! Can't wait to meet other pets here!! Hello!! I am 20 years old working towards a future in cosmetology. I do have a part time job so as of right now I am available Thursdays at any time! At my own home I have a dog I care for 24/7. I take him on walks, feed him, water him and make sure to get him the excersise he needs. I can't wait to meet other dogs and give them the care they deserve!!
About: With over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for my own pets, I bring a deep personal commitment to every pet I care for. When I come to care for, play with, and walk your dogs I'll dedicate my time to really getting to know them and their preferences. I have shared my home with several senior pets over the years and understand the specialized attention they require. Elderly animals hold a special place in my heart, and I am especially attuned to their comfort, routines, and medical needs. I have three pets - a spunky, energetic Chihuahua and two senior cats. Your pets will be cared for with the same thoughtfulness, reliability, and respect I give my own. I’m a professional photographer, which gives me a flexible schedule and the ability to be reliable and present when pet families need support. Running my own business has taught me the importance of communication, trust, and attention to detail. I’m also a parent to a teenager, so responsibility and consistency are a big part my everyday life. I value routine, patience, and creating a calm, steady environment, which is something pets truly benefit from. In my free time, you’ll often find me outdoors exploring nature with my camera, taking walks, or simply enjoying fresh air. I appreciate the simple joy animals bring to our lives and feel honored to care for them with the same thoughtfulness and respect I give my own. I know it can be hard on animals when their humans are away. Transitions can feel big for them. I move slowly, pay attention, and let trust build naturally so your pet feels safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while you’re gone. My animals are the world to me. I love the everyday rhythms — the walks, the play, the brushing, the quiet moments on the couch. I lead with love and consistency, and I bring that same energy into your home. When I care for your pets, they’ll have plenty of playtime, walks tailored to their needs, and as much cuddle time as they’d like (or space, if that’s more their style). You can trust that I will respect your home, honor your routines, and care for your animals with the same attentiveness and affection I give my own.

I’m always family & friends first option for pet care🤍 which is where I got my experience from. In Saint Joseph for college, originally from Hawai’i so I’m pretty far from home. I love pets so this is the best way I could be spending my free time. I am very attentive to care instructions I do love dogs of all sizes🥰 I am not knowledgeable about trainings however I do appreciate a dog that can listen to simple commands.
“Amazing! We will definitely have her watch our puppies again. She is very loving and you can definitely tell she is an animal lover. We would recommend her to anyone. It was the first time we had ever left our puppies and they didn't even miss us much because she was so great with them.”
About: I currently work in animal clinics and take great care of all the animals the comes in and out the facility as far as bathing, walking and clipping nails I'm currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm available for boarding on weekends, and weekdays after hours. I am very optimistic , I treat all animals with respect and kindness and I make sure that pets have a clean and hygienic environment
About: I used to be a military police dog handler for a long time so I have great experience with dogs. I am a person who genuinely cares about animals. Ever since I was little I’ve had a dog there for me in my life. I treat every animal with care and respect! Your dog will be in great hands when booked with me! Right now I am on leave for quite a while so everyday any day will work for me. I will be around the dog 24/7 and make sure they are happy and taken great care of. I have a fenced back yard and a fenced play area in the basement where dogs can run around and play without getting too hot because outside in the hot sun all day.
“If I could leave Marianna a 500 star review, that still wouldn’t be enough. I needed last minute care due to a medical emergency, and she not only accommodated my need with less than 18 hours notice, but she did so with a level of care for my kitties that I have never experienced before. Within 15 minutes of her arrival, I had photos and videos of all of my babies (which is no small feat in itself), and she continued to provide multiple updates, photos, and videos. She was so so so loving and gentle with my kitties, stayed with them all day and overnight, and gave me the comfort and reassurance I was desperately needing. I will absolutely be hiring her every time I need a sitter moving forward (hopefully sans the hospital stay and ideally for a fun getaway instead). Thank you so much, Marianna. There are not enough ways to express my gratitude!”
“Wonderful!! Kayla and Taylor LOVE animals. They were so amazing. Excellent communication and attention to detail. Great pics sent at every check in. Do not hesitate to book them. Will definitely use them again.”
About: I always insure that pets are comfortable! I’ve taken care of old cats and dogs, and I when they are old like that it’s important to meet their needs first, as most of the time they need a lot of guidance and help. I am currently going into online college, so most of my day is free! I often sit down and watch TV or play video games, but I mostly enjoy writing and drawing in my free time I personally like to ask owners how there pets are in the company of others, as well as if any weather bugs them! The comfort of my pets, and owners is always my number 1 priority! I want to make sure that they are comfortable around me, and I never approach any animal until I’ve let them sniff me, it’s important that they trust me to be around them.
About: I will modify and add $45 to care for places 30-60 miles past Gallatin, MO. If you know more of people that want care close to you, I can split the fee! Trustworthy and dependable, I have taken care of a wide variety of animals animals over the years, including dogs, outdoor cats, ragdoll cat, birds, chickens, horses, and calves. I understand every animal has its own unique needs and deserves compassionate care. Whether it's walks, feeding, playtime, drop in visits, overnight stays, or giving medication, I will provide reliable care. I have a flexible schedule I can work around for pets staying here, sleeping on the floor or outside. I will be gone during the day some days of the week, if they are ok left alone. I work at a greenhouse 3 days a week and could take puppies under a year with me to work. And also most dogs if theyre used to be out and about. I would accept puppies under a year not fixed. I have 2 ziplines in my yard and your pets are more than welcome to stay here if they would be OK with those accommodations. I can pick up and drop off typically would suit best in the evenings. I would also stay in your home so they could stay in familiar territory, but i have a greenhouse job and will be gone a good part of the day. And also work prn at an assisted living but il try to wait till 2 weeks till to pick up shifts. Cuz thats my requirement for bookings. I also have a 1 year old Aussie Mountain Doodle that will be coming with me. He loves meeting new friends. If youre worried about him getting along we can do a meet and greet. I look forward to meeting you and your pets. My profile shows Kingston, it's because I work in Kearney and am around there a lot. So dropping by between Jamesport and Kearney will be easy. I had to move my town to get the area I wanted. I have a flexible schedule and can work around it to help care for your pets, for drop in visits, walks, feeding, playtime or stays. I will care for your pets and home as if it were my own. I have stayed in multiple air bnbs and have a high rating as a traveler.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Saint Joseph
Audrey was wonderful with our senior dog, Gabby, and our cat, Piper! Leaving your pets behind is never easy, but she gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared for them like they were her own. We especially appreciated her patience and attentiveness with Gabby being an older dog. Knowing Audrey is CPR certified was an added bonus and made us feel even more confident that our pets were in great hands. We came home to happy, well-cared-for pets and would absolutely book with Audrey again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter!

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.
