“Abigail did a fantastic job of taking care of our 4 feline boys for a week. One of our guys has some special needs and she excelled in his care giving. You could tell from the photos and videos that the fur balls really appreciated her visits. Will definitely use her again when the need arises. Highly recommended.”

“Ellie was amazing. She played with our energetic Border Collie so much and gave the cats lovies! Plus with every card, she attached multiple photos per visit. She gave meds, feedings, and everything was in order upon our return. Will rebook!”

“Martina was excellent! She took great care of my dog and cat, checked in diligently with pictures and details of each visit, and always responded promptly. Martina will be my first contact the next time my pets need care!”

“Olivia did an excellent job on her drop in visits with Griffin filling in while his regular Rover person was out of town. And as an added bonus, she brought her dog along a few times for playtime!”

About: Growing up with 2 dogs taught me to care and love dogs of all shapes and sizes! I also cared for my aunts two dogs and two cats each summer since 2020 while she travels out of town. Im comfortable with feeding routines, litter boxes, and I love taking dogs on walks and giving fur babies lots of love and attention! I have a very flexible schedule and enjoy incorporating pets care into my routine. I go for lots of walks during the day and enjoy playing and giving lots of attention to pets! I prefer caring for pets in their own homes where they feel most comfortable. I follow the owners routines and instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, litter box cleaning, playtime, and making sure pets feel safe, calm, and cared for while their owners are away.
“First experience with a pet sitter and Grace was amazing! Appreciate her watching my little beastie and she really writes the best updates. :) 200% would use again and highly recommend.”

“Abigail will be our #1 animal caregiver going forward. With less than a week until our wedding, Knight (our 9-month old mini goldendoodle) developed a mild case of kennel cough. Since boarding was no longer an option, we hopped on Rover and found Abigail. She came over to meet Knight and the cats, and went above and beyond our expectations. Knight had frequent visits, lots of play sessions, and tons of attention while he was at home. Abigail administered medicine, and we came home to a happy and healthy puppy (all courtesy of Abigail). We recommend Abigail unconditionally and trust her in our home with our fur babies anytime.”

“Lana did a great job with our dog Kaya! Lana came to come meet her prior to her drop-in visits and Kaya instantly made a new friend :) Definitely recommend Lana and will book her again in the future!”

“Adri did a great job watching our cat. They sent pictures and updates so we knew the cat was being taken care of dependably. I would be happy to hire Adri again in the future.”

About: • 3 years as veterinary assistant • 1.5 years as a kennel tech for boarding • 3 years as an equine handler for youth pony rides • 6 months shadowing professional dog trainers • Enrolled in Animal Sciences at MU with pre-admission to MU College of Veterinary Medicine Despite the many years I have dedicated to animal care, my passion only grows. My experience in veterinary medicine has provided me the knowledge and confidence to recognize and handle emergencies effectively. Through the years I have collected helpful advice on pet behavior, pet health, and handling that I am always happy to share. I am comfortable handling and providing care to dogs, cats, rabbits, rodents, and some exotics. I have always been recognized for my strong work ethic, and consider your pet’s health a top priority! I am currently working part-time in addition to being a full-time student. Weekends are perfect for me to care for your pet, however I can make some weekdays work as needed. In my client’s homes I am comfortable conducting any routine no matter how specific as I understand the complex needs of every pet. I am very thorough with directions, and have extensive experience medicating animals and handling emergencies.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for 6 years now, and I just recently adopted my own! His name is maverick and he’s a husky, but I also have a cat (bean) and another dog (bronco) who I adopted a few years ago. I live in an apartment complex here in Columbia, and I’m currently a college student! I work full time, three days a week. Tues-thurs! I do work nights so I’m usually free from 8am-6pm on the days that I work, otherwise I’m free early mornings and late at night if needed. I’m available to do drop in visits and boarding on the weekends :) Since I live in an apartment complex without a fence I typically walk maverick on a leash and frequently take him to the off leash dog park near by. I’d be able to do whatever you do at your home to accommodate!

“We needed a sitter last minute and Shelbi was able to come and let our dogs out for us! She was great and communicated with us the whole time! Thank you Shelbi for your help!!”

“Zoe helped watch our dogs while we were on vacation and did a great job. Dogs seemed to be well cared for and we appreciated the photos and detail about her visits with them. Our dogs can be a bit challenging with their medicines and reactive and she handled it all flawlessly. Would highly recommend her!”


About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and have years of hands-on experience caring for animals. Currently, I have two dogs and a cat, so I’m very comfortable with a wide range of pet personalities and needs. I’m experienced with feeding routines, playtime, basic care, and reading animal behavior. I’m happy to go on walks, take dogs to the park for exercise and socialization, and make sure they get plenty of attention and care while you’re away. I’m also open to caring for other types of animals and can provide those services at my cat care rate. My daily routine revolves around being a stay-at-home mom to my two children and our animals. Most of my days are spent at home playing with my daughter while my son is at preschool, which gives me plenty of flexibility and availability to care for other pets. I’m looking to fill that time doing something I love—taking care of animals—while earning a little extra fun money on the side. I treat every home and pet like they’re my own. I stick to your pet’s usual routine as much as possible, so they feel safe and stress-free, and I make sure they get lots of love, attention, and playtime. I’m very respectful of your space and keep everything clean and in order. I also love sending updates and pictures, so you know your pet is happy and well cared for!
“Taylor has become a good friend of Dexter and me. On my recent trip away, she took care of my Bengal and was reliable and friendly. She also helped me after my schedule changed and I got home early. I had never needed to change a Rover reservation so she took care of it for me. Thanks, Taylor!”
