About: Loving and caring for my pets as well as those of others’ has been such a joy in my life and I offer that same love, care and attention to your best friends! Whether you need overnight stays or drop-in services, I’d love to meet your fur babies and keep them happy, healthy and safe until their best friends return. I’m currently retired and am very flexible time-wise. I’m available any day of the week, as overnight stays, or everyday of the week from 7-9ish. I currently have two golden retrievers and a fenced in yard but find that most dogs, and all cats, prefer their own surroundings so am willing and able to come to you home and take care of them.
About: Over the past 4 years, I have honed in on my skills in animal handling, care, and maintaining cleaning and sanitation standards. My professional experience has equipped me with a solid foundation in pet care, allowing me to effectively meet the diverse needs of pets and their owners. I am particularly skilled in animal handling, proficient in administering first aid, medication and I am meticulous in my cleaning and sanitation practices. My communicative nature, attention to detail, and flexibility in adapting to various pet needs makes me a perfect fit for your pooch! I’ve dealt with dogs of all ages sizes and temperaments and would love to help you with your pet parent needs! At the moment I’m trying to watch pets full time but I may be getting a part time job in the near future. No matter the schedule, your pup will be my main priority! I currently live with my sister on her 79 acre farm with our two dogs Orla and Nellie. Both can be kept separate from your furbaby if need be. When boarding in my house your pup will be kept comfortable in my upstairs apartment and will be taken out to potty and play whenever they need! When staying in your home just let me know the routine and I’ll keep your furry friend happy!
“Miss Nina did a fantastic job looking after our pup, especially with this being a last minute request. Plans arose to head to Niagra Falls and as such we could not bring our pup. Nina stopped in and checked on our pooch multiple times and the happy& smiling photos of our pup shows they got along just fine. 10 out of 10 would recommend.”
“Courtney did a wonderful job watching our 2 dogs! The updates on each drop in visit and daily pictures gave us peace of mind they were doing ok and being well cared for!”

About: Thank you for giving me a chance to care for and walk your pet. I am passionate about caring for your pet as if they were my own. I have taken care of others pets for the past 12 years. I currently have my own dog, and cat that I love. I know how to care for all ages of dogs and cats, as well as have administered medication to both before in case that is needed while you are away during the day or on weekends. Pets to me are the best friends a human can have. I hope to hear from you soon about your pets and your caring needs. My schedule varies from week to week but no worries, I have it two weeks in advance so we can definitely plan your pups needs into my day. I currently have a dog friendly pup who can help keep your pup entertained if needed. I will care for your pets needs as if they were my own.
About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals ever since I was young. I’ve had dogs, cats, and fish of my own and watched tons of other kinds for friends and family. I had a dog that was aggressive and highly playful energy so I am fully comfortable around dogs of all levels :) I am stronger than I look so I can handle dogs that pull too! I absolutely adore cats also, i have two babies of my own and have catsit many times too! I’m currently on a very flexible schedule, so I have plenty of availability to care for pets throughout anytime of the day and frequently if needed. I am gone some weekends in summer but will be around besides that :) I have experience with many different pets and ways of caring for them. Administering medication, crating, basic training, experience with dogs that are distressed/tramuatized. I provide every animal with the fullest extent of my love I can! I love to play with them, spend time hanging out and making sure they are properly cared for, and give them the same love and attention an owner would while you are gone!

About: I’ve had pets since age 5, and my own since 18. I’ve dealt with pets in need of cancer care, diabetic cats, dogs with orthopedic issues (not my own) and plenty of healthy animals! I spent 1 year in my twenties working at Petco and learned a lot there as well! I’d love to help with your family’s pet care needs. I treat animals like family, love to spend time with them and give them the attention they need. Are you in need of a trustworthy pet sitter? Look no further! I’m Nikki, a graduate student studying chiropractic. A bit about me: I’m a huge animal lover! So much so that I’ve offered cat and dogsitting for over 10 years and have dozens of happy customers who are happy to offer a reference. I’m also certified through AVCA in animal chiropractic - through this I’m also certified in pet first aid, and have a great understanding of animal anatomy and physiology, as well as plenty of friends in the veterinary world. I have worked with animals with disabilities, those who need IVs and medications, anxious pets, and many more. No breed restrictions apply! References available upon request! (And of course I’ll take dozens of photos of your pets to share with you if you’d like updates while away) I’m happy to offer walks and play time, company for your pets, feedings, and overnight care. In situations where owners are away for a few days, even if I am not staying in your home I will be happy to bring some schoolwork to give your pet the opportunity to have a human presence around for an hour or two in addition to the time spent actively caring for them. I have successfully administered medicines to both dogs, horses, and cats (and ferrets and chinchillas). I’ve cared for reptiles, goats, and fish as well. I have also administered subcutaneous fluids and insulin to cats, and helped ambulate dogs as large as a German Shepherd to the bathroom, and am happy to learn from you if your pet has any additional needs! I’m also trained in animal chiropractic, where I worked alongside large and small animal veterinarians and learned the ins and outs of animal anatomy - this along with my certification as a wildlife rehabilitator and experience as a dog groomer make me a great fit for your pet!
About: I am extremely detail-oriented, I love animals, and I’ve cared for a wide variety of pets my entire life, from cats and dogs to reptiles, birds, fish, and small mammals. Currently, I share my home with 3 cats, a dog, a bunny, fish, and 4 chickens, so I’m experienced and comfortable with all kinds of animals! All of my pets are good with each other, kids, and other animals. My wife Emily will also be assisting me in caring for your pet. I work as a Registered Nurse at a pediatrician office, so I am available after 4 pm everyday and on weekends no matter the time. My wife works ten minutes away from our home and comes home on lunch to give a potty break. I understand how important your pets are to you, and I’ll treat them with the same love and care as I do my own (and trust me, they are SPOILED). In your home, I’ll ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and well-cared for. I will also follow your instructions closely to maintain your babies’ routines. Respecting your space and your pet’s needs is my top priority.
About: All throughout my childhood, I had puppies and dogs to take care of. I loved animals the most in my family, so any pet responsibilities fell to me. I also take care of my sister’s dog when she is out of town. I will be available on weekdays anytime past 2 pm, except I am not available on Tuesdays. I am mostly free on weekends aside from a part time job. In my sister’s home, I feed the dog, take him on walks, and let him outside often so he can roam around and get his energy out. He is still a puppy, so I try to let him play whenever possible. When I leave, he goes in his crate to stay out of trouble.
About: As a dog mom to a high-energy German Shepherd/Husky mix, I’m very familiar with big dogs who need lots of exercise and structure. I also have experience caring for cats and horses, and I’m comfortable with a wide range of personalities, energy levels, and routines. I strive to give each animal the attention, patience, and love they deserve. As a remote dietitian with a passion for animals, wellness, and staying active, dog walking fits perfectly into my flexible schedule and aligns with everything I love: movement, fresh air, and caring for animals. I’m currently pursuing dog nutrition training because I believe in supporting pets with natural, nourishing care. Whether it’s a walk or some extra playtime, I treat every dog like my own and make sure they feel happy, healthy, and loved. Safety and trust are top priorities. I follow your routine closely to help your pet feel secure and comfortable. I’m experienced with pets of all sizes and temperaments and always use positive reinforcement and gentle handling. You can count on me to respect your home, communicate clearly, and treat your pet like family.
About: **About me** Hello! My name is Mariah, I am a sophomore in college pursing a Veterinary degree! I have always loved working with animals and have grown up around them all my life. I have such a strong passion for animals of any kind which is why I am pursing a career in it! All throughout my life I have watched family and friends animals and my love for working with animals have grown every day. Growing up with dogs, cats, and other pets it has given me a great amount of knowledge about them and how to take care of them. I feel that each animal has it's own unique personality which makes them even more special. I am good at taking care of animals with medical conditions or post surgical. I gave medications to many dogs before and have taken care of post surgical. I took care of pets with bandages that needed cleaning and broken bones. **About my home** When you are away or have a trip and need someone to take care of such as walk, feed, love, or bathe your animal I will be there! If you are at work or have an event that prevents you from being there to take care of your pet, I am able to come and help you out! **About my neighborhood** I live in Jefferson City. There are some nice trails by me and the Cherokee Dam! There is also Panther Creek State Park that has beautiful trails for walking and getting energy out! There is plenty of open land around that pets will love! **What to expect** I love playing with and showing animals how special they are which I am confident they will enjoy as well! I enjoy going for runs and long walks which they will too! The lake near me is one of the best spots to play and walk. **Special rules or requests** I am open to any size, and breed of dog, cat, etc. I do not have a preference on sizes of dogs. I also am not bothered by breeds of dogs, I truly believe that every dog is just as good as the next and the most misunderstood breeds of dogs are the most loving.

Karen is trustworthy, and conscientious. I have a dog Mabel, who can be a handful to deal with. Mabel is overly zealous greeting people, which at times is hard for me bc I can’t control her. Karen has a way, a calmness ,and handles Mabel perfectly, and Mabel loves her. You won’t regret bringing Karen on board at Rover.”

“Juanita is amazing with pets of all kinds- cats, dogs, horses, pet rats, chickens, goats, sheep... at our home she has cared for all of the above. Many animal owners are good with their "own" pets but fearful of ones they don't know. Juanita is comfortable with animals whether or not they are known to her- she makes friends fast. She has been a reliable caretaker in every respect and goes the extra mile by giving her time and attention beyond the rudimentary tasks. Your pets are in good, reliable, and loving hands with Juanita!”
Megan L.
“Megan has been my "go to dog sitter" for the last 15 years. Ever since she was in college. She has proven herself to be able to handle any situation with dogs. I even attended some group training with her with my pack of dogs to make sure she had the skills so I could trust my pack to her. My dogs all loved her and when she finally got a dog of her own it blended in with my pack well. Now she has moved up to Buffalo and I miss her and her dog every day, but take it from me, She can handle any situation with your pets. She keeps her head in a crisis, if a dog gets in a fight or eats something it shouldn't. She does NOT panic, she handles the situation. I would completely trust her with my pack and that is the highest form of praise I can give to another human being.”
Rebecca J.
“Becca is a lifelong pet owner and is passionate about caring for pets. She has an easy presence with animals that makes them feel safe and comfortable around her, and she's also great at guiding them with clear directions so they respond to her. She's trustworthy and reliable, and pets enjoy being around Becca because she's calm and she recognizes that pets have their own individual personalities and needs. I highly recommend Becca as a responsible and loving pet caregiver!”

Nicole W.
“Nikki is the definition of the perfect pet caregiver! Animals are drawn to her and she gains their trust very quickly. We have 2 dogs and 2 goats. Our dachshund is good with other people but our German Shepherd is not. She has special needs which require her to be on special medications the rest of her life and she has severe hip dysplasia.She recently had to have major surgery and Nikki was one of her caregivers during her recovery period. Our shepherd immediately took to her and without hesitation, let her take her on short walks and bathroom trips. Nikki has also watched and cared for our 2 goats while we have been away. They too took to her immediately and enjoyed her spoiling company and the extra treats! I would highly recommend Nikki for any job that required animal love and care. She is extremely responsible and easy to talk to. Your pet would be in the best hands ever!”
