“We feel so fortunate to have found Lauren. We didn’t worry about the pets at all while we were away. They were happy and well cared for. Lauren will certainly be our first choice the next time we need to go out of town.”
“River is a wonderful dogsitter! He is professional and communicative. Our dog is generally slow to warm up to people but was asking River for pets by the end of Day 1. Our dog has separation anxiety and when our flight got cancelled, River went above and beyond to make sure our dog was taken care of during the unexpected extra day that it took for us to get home. We came home to a happy and well-cared-for dog. We will absolutely be booking River again!”
“Lauren responded quickly to my request for a week-long stay at my house with my two rescue dogs. She brought along her dog, “Nala” and my sometimes cranky border collie had a great week playing with her. Lauren noticed my grass was tall and asked if she could mow-yes! I was happy to come home to a house that was clean and neat, with linens washed (!) and dogs well cared for. I will definitely be asking Lauren back!”
“We've used some good dog/house sitters, but it's been a few years since we had a great experience. This was our first time using Rover, and the experience was unparalleled. Maria is worthy of a hundred star review! She kept us updated with daily photos and reports. And when we came home after 9 days, there was zero evidence that anyone had even been there. It was cleaner than before we left!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my adaptability and genuine love for dogs of all temperaments. Having grown up with dogs, I’m comfortable meeting the needs of both high-energy pups who thrive on long walks and active play, as well as laid-back dogs who prefer quiet companionship. Whether it’s exercise, cuddle time, or simply keeping their routine consistent, I tailor my care to match each dog’s personality so they feel happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. Currently, I’m a graduate student looking to fill my free time meeting new furry friends. I will have availability some mornings and afternoons, as well as most evenings and weekends. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat the space with the same respect I give my own, always aiming to leave it better than I found it. I’m organized and clean, making sure feeding areas and toys are tidy, and I follow your instructions closely to meet your pet’s needs. I stay attentive and mindful so your pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their familiar environment.
About: I have worked in professional pet care for 4 years and have been watching neighbors dogs for the past 2 years. At doggy daycare I have worked with all sizes and ages of dogs and am comfortable with all of them. I am currently and student at The University of Missouri but am still able to come to your house to watch your pet. I can stay at your house during the week or weekend, my classes are during the middle of the day so they can go out plenty of times in the morning and night. I have three dogs at home that I am very used to taking care of as well as my cat. I can follow your pets schedule so there is no difference in your care and mine.
“Alli blew us away. Our animals loved her, we loved her; she went above and beyond, even sending us updates throughout our stay, and going the extra mile for our needy Great Dane. We felt so comfortable the moment we met her. Couldn’t recommend her more!”
“Alexis loved our babies like they were her own. We felt SO comfortable with her, and our babies loved her deeply! She sent us pictures, kept us updated, and made me feel so so comfortable being away from my pack. Couldn’t recommend her more!”
About: I’ve been taking care of my own animals for about a year now, which includes a puppy and three cats. I’ve worked on crate training my puppy as well as general care and maintenance of all my pets. I would love to look after your animals when I’m not working or at school - giving them all the time, love, and comfort in the world. In my client’s home, I will work on making sure we have established boundaries of taking your animal out and what routines need to be maintained while I look after your animals.
“Abby was kind and dependable. She took good care of my cat and the house. She was tidy and thoughtful and my cat seemed relaxed and happy with her. Thank you, Abby! I'll be happy to have you return.”
About: As a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for cats, dogs, and many animals in between, I know how important it is to find someone you trust with your pets. I treat every animal like family, paying attention to their unique needs, personalities, and routines. Whether it’s playtime, snuggles, or just a calming presence while you’re away, I’m here to make sure your pets feel safe and loved every step of the way. I have personal experience with owning dogs, cats, and rodents. I also have experience long term fostering a bearded dragon. I currently work full-time as an optician, so my availability during the weekdays is focused on early mornings, midday check-ins or potty breaks, and evenings for pet care, cuddles, and companionship. I’m fully available on weekends and can accommodate overnight stays or more flexible schedules then. I’m used to balancing a busy schedule and always make sure pets in my care get the attention and love they need. I’m also typically available during holidays, and I know how important it is to have someone reliable when travel plans come up—especially during busy seasons. For dogs, I offer visits, check-ins, and overnight stays in their own home where they feel most comfortable. For cats, I have both the availability and space to care for them in my home while you’re away. My dog and cat get along well with other cats, and I have a variety of extra supplies, toys, treats, and an additional litter box ready for your furry friend. If you have any questions, concerns, or a different type of pet needing care, I’m more than happy to chat and see if we can work something out!
About: I’ve taken care of my childhood dog and gecko for years growing up, and I potty trained & pet sat for 4 months for my brother’s puppy. I’ve babysat kids before and much prefer dogs!! Because I work remote, I have the flexibility take breaks during my workday to go on walks/take care of personal things/etc so dog sitting would fit in great with my schedule! I treat all animals and homes like my own! I’ve house sat before, and I’ve pet sat before, and I’m more than happy to combine both of those things! I like to bounce around and it makes me happy to be in new spaces. Give me a to-do list around the house, for your pet, etc and I’m game!
About: I had two dogs, one since I was ten years old, and I loved taking care of them! I also have a pet corn snake who I adore and work hard to care for! I did an internship at the AMCMA over a summer and got lots of healthcare experience. I have foster experience with CMHS and would love to take care of another animal! Additionally, I worked with Columbia Canine Sports Center for a class and helped with basic obedience and puppy socialization classes! I'm a student at Mizzou, so I have a bit of a challenging schedule. I'm free before 9 a.m. every day except Saturdays, and free after 3 p.m. on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. I'm free all day on Sundays and after 11 a.m. on Saturdays! I am willing to play, groom, train, or just cuddle! I can provide veterinary care for your babies as well with my experience and am able to go on walks as long as the weather isn't too extreme, in which case I can find other ways to get that energy out. I love all breeds, ages, shapes, and sizes and I am willing to take care of any personality!
“Donna was great! She replied promptly to text and emails. Took the time for a meet up even though it was only a one-night booking. Donna was flexible and easy to work with. Our dogs, Rufus and Star would love to have her for another sleepover. We would definitely use her again.”
“Alicen was amazing with my dog Rowdy and cat Jorah! She gave updates/pics with each visit and made communication super easy! My dog has issues with dog reactivity and Alicen took the time to work with him on walks and even brought her own dog along to work with him! Can’t say enough good things! Will definitely book her again!”

Audrie K.
“Audrie takes care of my 3 cats when I am away on vacation as they prefer to stay in their own home environment. She takes time to provide the love and affection that they need. Each one has different instructions on what they like with food, play or affection. Often times the cats will hide and be scared of anything (storms, doorbell, loud environments, strangers) and she spends time to seek them out to ensure they are safe and healthy while I am away. I enjoy that she takes photos and sends them to me of each cat! She really understands and knows how to care for cats. She gives me a peace of mind so I can enjoy my time away!”

“I was moving around a bunch and she took care of my bearded dragon for me, I didn’t want to have to move him around so we did temporary housing where she kept her for a couple months and she did really good with her and she was happy and healthy, Madi was an amazing care taker, I have my dragon back now and she did amazing!”
Kiley G.
“I had an incredible experience with Kiley as my dog-sitter!!! From the moment we met I could tell she was a loving, caring person - and Ryder felt the same way. She was very calm with him at first to let him get used to her, which was wonderful to see even though Ryder immediately loved her and is a social ball of energy. (But I can say with complete confidence that even if your dog is shy or doesn't warm up to people quickly, she would be the best person to care for them.) Kiley was extremely receptive to the fact that I was still training him; I told her that we were practicing not letting him jump when he meets people, so she didn't pet him until he sat down, we went through some commands while I was home and I am 100% sure that she worked with him while I was gone like I'd requested because he was just as good (if not better) with his training as when I left. This is not your typical early 20s dog sitter... this girl took NOTES on his routine and training, she folded the blankets and washed the dishes that she used while staying at my home. I was stunned. She was better than some of my friends who had stayed over in the past haha. Kiley is an entrepreneur who is grinding to make her business happen, a place for new musicians to practice I think... look it up or talk to her about it if you play, it sounded super cool) so HIRE HER because the money is going to amazing things and an amazing women and you can rest assured your furry friend will be in the best care possible!”
Caitlin P.
“Caitlin does a great job at caring for pets! They have a ton of experience working/taking care of animals both in a clinic and home setting. They take care of my cat whenever I’m not there and my cat loves them :) I never have to worry when I’m not home to care for my cat because Caitlin does a great job of ensuring she is happy and well cared for each time.”
