“This was my first time using Rover so I was a little nervous, but Rio was wonderful. Great communication and cute photos of my 13 year old Shih Tzu. No complaints. Will definitely request Rio in the future!”

About: I rescued my first pet (cat) and spoiled my second (dog). Have fun playing fetch and taking long walks, and love to hang out with cats too. I have just recently moved back to Missouri from Bozeman, Montana and am always looking to stay busy with side jobs on my time off. I can easily crate dogs (only if asked or necessary) in a client’s home. I can recognize different techniques to use on differently trained animals.
“I booked Cooper for a 3-day walk with my dogs. It was really cold that week. On day 3, it was snowing, I told her that if the roads were bad, we can just cancel the walk. She came and walked the dogs that day. Really love her!”

About: I got my first dog when I was 10, and have been dog and cat sitting since I was 12. I want it to be the best experience for your pet and you. I have patience, am caring, hardworking, and always high on energy to play with the pets. I will send you updates and let you know when the job has been complete. Your pets are more than a job to me, for I want to bring them love and comfort. I would be honored to bring you and your pet quality care with lots of love! I’m currently a part of a proffesional dance company, where I go in for 4 hours each day. I then have time after that to come play and watch your pets! I teach dance in the evening and nights, but have time to stop by and check on the pets when needed! My weekends are fully open to spend as much time loving and caring for your pets! I will care for your pets with tender and care. I am unable to watch them in my home, but can do all the pet needs at yours. I can take them for enjoyable walks, feed them, play with them, stop by for bathroom breaks, fresh air, and give them lots of hugs and love. I can crate them if needed and give them someone to play with so they don’t feel lonely!
“Brandi came and walked my dog every day for several weeks while I was waiting for hip replacement. A definite plus for me. She varied her times around weather and the fact that my doggy gets hot if the sun is too much (she came in the evening).”
“I highly recommend this person as a dog walker. She is very responsible, punctual, and caring with my dogs. I trust her completely, and she always makes sure my dogs are safe and happy. I am very grateful for her help and dedication. Thank you Stephanie 🩷🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my unwavering dedication to the well-being of each pet. I have experience in providing compassionate care for senior dogs, making sure they are comfortable and happy. My love and respect for animals drive me to go above and beyond to meet their needs. Pet care is an integral part of my daily routine. Every morning, I start by feeding them followed by a walk or playtime to ensure they get exercise. Throughout the day, I make sure they have fresh water and check on them regularly to ensure they are comfortable and happy. In the evenings, I spend quality time with them, reinforcing training and providing affection. On weekends, I often take them on longer walks and outing. When caring for pets in my clients' homes, I stick to their usual routines to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I ensure they are fed on time, have fresh water, and get plenty of exercise through walks and playtime. I also provide lots of affection and attention, and I am diligent about cleaning up after them to keep the home tidy. Additionally, I keep an eye out for any signs of health issues and provide any necessary medications or special care as instructed by the owner.

About: Hi! I’m Casey and I have three dogs and three cats. I would love to help you care for your animals! I’ve gone through obedience training with each of my own dogs and love incorporating it into walks. I’m a substitute teacher and love spending my time walking dogs. I usually choose to sub a couple days a week and walk or do drop ins the other days! When walking dogs I make sure to check the weather and watch the pups body language. I also know walking on a leash can be difficult for some dogs and I have worked with my own dogs on pulling and reactivity.
“So Glad We Found Stephanie!!! When we got back from our trip we could tell that our Samson was well cared for….. He is in better physical shape as well…She took care of him as if he was her own. We was at complete peace… She even kept a good eye out on the house…10/10 Highly Recommend 🥰”

“Laura does a wonderful job watching and walking our puppies and kitties. Our dogs take a little bit to warm up to others and she got them to open up quickly. We definitely plan on using Laura’s services for walks and housesitting in the future.”


About: I have always had a love for all kinds of animals. Ive enjoyed watching family and friends pets as well as caring for my own pets in my apartment. I'd love to get to know you and your unique pet and make them feel even more loved and appreciated. I have past background knowledge on pet nutrition,hygiene and behavior traits. I am currently starting school in March to gain my pharmacy technician certification, I would have open availability to provide assistance for you and your pets. I do have a dog with me, her name is Maze. Maze is a rescue, she stays in my room and going on walks multiple times a day as well as dog parks, she would love to have a friend. Maze eats 2 times a day once in the morning and once in the evening with a snack (can of tuna/shredded chicken) in the afternoon. Maze talks walks in a harness to provide safely,we do have an extra! I have cats as well, the are allowed to freely roam around with little latches that keep bedroom doors open just enough for them to go in and out, they are also fed twice a day with wet food and have dry kibble out for free feeding through the day, since they have smaller stomachs they eat more frequently, howver the dry food is only filled once it runs out completely, the cats also have a running water fountain as well as other water bowls on elevated surfaces. Their are plenty of pet beds,toys and treats, if their are any allergies please let me know!
“Heather is a great dog walker. My Morkie loved going on walks with her. Due to the cold weather, Heather might not be able to walk Rascal and he misses her that day real bad. Heather shows him so much love!”

About: I’ve house sat and pet sat for friends and family as needed for several years. I have had lots of dogs and cats as pets throughout my life - as well as a lizard and a toad! I’m currently working part-time with semi-flexible hours and doing theater rehearsals on some evenings, so I’ll be able to check in or go on walks throughout the day and do more extensive care on my days off! I happily follow routines that are already in place and like to use preferred toys, treats, or other comfort items already at your home. My goal is to keep pets comfortable, safe, and feeling loved!
About: I have taken care of animals of many shapes and sizes throughout my life, from large dogs to kittens. I also have volunteer experience at KC Pet Project. I actively take care of cats and dogs of my own most days of the week around school and work, as well as maintaining other hobbies. Being able to help others with their pets is very fulfilling to me! I have experience feeding, brushing, walking, and training animals. In my clients home i would provide the upmost care for their pet and their home.
About: I am a nurturer and a lover. I love all animals and know how hard it is to leave them. I will never be a replacement for you, but know it is important to have someone to love on your fur babies when you have to be away. I am used to dealing with high anxiety dogs and have experience with medically needy as well. I am happy to work with you on your pets needs, and make sure we are a good fit. I love to walk and play outside, but I’m also happy to snuggle up on the couch. Whatever your pet needs, we can make it work! I am used to following detailed plans, routines and instructions to make sure your absence is as easy as possible on your fur kids!
About: My dog is my best friend; we do everything together. If you choose me to be responsible for your pet, that pet will get the love and attention it deserves as YOUR best friend. During walks with your furry friend I can keep gentle control of a troublemaker and keep a good pace with any dog, fast or slow. If you choose me to drop in and visit your pet, I will make that visit the best part of mine and your animal’s day. If you need a house-sitter while you’re away - don’t worry at all, your pet(s) and home are in good hands. I house-sat for my neighbor with four cats on and off for three years. I would love to get to know your pets!

About: I have taken care of all sorts of dogs through the years and find joy in going for walks around the neighborhood and playing and meeting every single dog I see. I work full time, 3 12 hour shifts a week and my other 4 days I love having something to do whether that is going on walks, popping in to make sure dogs have everything they need and having potty breaks. During drop ins or walks I like to follow the owners instructions carefully so that each pet can maintain their normal routines and reduce stress. I make sure each pet has water, any food they need, toys if able, exercise, and attention. With walks I stay very mindful of potential dangers or triggers to avoid any unwanted situations and pay attention to any sins of overheating, exhaustion or discomfort. During drop ins if a pet uses a crate I always make sure it’s locked and checked before leaving as well as leaving the surrounding how I arrived and with locked doors. It’s always fun to send the owner updates and pictures of their pet while away to ensure they are safe and getting the care they need.
About: Have been a Pet Parent for 40+ years. I just retired fulltime and have been without a pet for two years. Decided that instead of getting another pet, that I would do pet sitting. I love animals and what is a better way to experience new type of breeds. Will LOVE your pet as if they were my own. THANKS FOR READING MY PROFILE AND ANXIOUS TO MEET YOU AND YOUR PET!!!!! RETIRED AND OPEN FOR SITTING, ALMOST ANYTIME. WOULD PREFER TO NOT SIT LATE AT NIGHT BUT HAPPY TO DO OVER NIGHT. HOLIDAYS ARE ALSO OPEN. I LIVE IN AN APARTMENT COMPLEX AND PLENTY ROOM TO WALK. IF YOUR DOG LIKES DOG PARKS, WILLING TO TAKE THEM THERE ALSO. I PREFER NOT TO CRATE UNLESS NEEDED WHEN ALONE.
