“Elle has an obvious knack with animals. Our older cat is usually reserved with strangers but instantly loved her. All of our animals do. Elle has been so easy to communicate with. We will absolutely book again in the future.”


“Mark met my kitties a week before our trip (which was great for everyone) and Tink and Ragnar liked him from the moment they met. Mark sent me photos every day and kept me updated about their activities. I felt confident having him house and cat sit. He even cleaned before he left! I will definitely hire Mark again. He's wonderful!”


“Lucas was such a wonderful find for our sweet pair of cats! My husband and I are helicopter parents about our babies who have very specific and different needs including our boy cat who needs to be medicated and is a very picky eater. Lucas sent us very frequent updates on the state of our cat's appetite and how things were going. In the past, we have come home to find our cat has either lost weight or has liquid medication smeared on his fur from medication difficulties. When we came home our boy cat looked the best he's ever looked after such a long stay with a house sitter. We can tell our cats felt very at home and comfortable with Lucas. The house looks great, very clean and exactly how we left it. All and all, among the best rover experiences we've had! Great communication, healthy happy pets, a clean home, what more could we ask for?”


“Excellent service. Worked with me when I sent a booking request for an hour later. Had no issues booking and she responded quickly and didn’t hassle me for the last minute booking. My pets were happy, healthy, and well cared for! Even the photos she took looked so professional, I love them.”


“Jennifer did a great job watching my cat while I was on vacation! I would highly recommend her and house was clean and flowers watered when I returned. No issues.”


“Leah did a great job checking on our cats for us. She communicated well and everyone seems happy!”

About: I grew up on a farm where our pets were always family members and treated with love and respect. I have two rescue dogs myself. I am happy to keep my dogs separated from clients. I am fortunate that my parents have a farm and welcome their grand pups in case of overlaps in sittings. My girls do great with most other pets, however I understand every animal has their own personality and comfort zone. I respect and do things on the owner and the pet’s terms. I strive to provide an experience where you feel you are leaving your loved ones with people who care as much as you. I worked the corporate world since college and decided I would take a break and enjoy a summer with my own fur babies. I have always been the go-to dog sitter for close friends and family.

I recently moved back to Mid-MO and looking for extra jobs to supplement my massage therapy career. I especially like being busy in the mornings. I have a fenced in yard with one dog and three cats. I love following directions for pet care. Give me all the lists and details! Our own pets have various schedules and diets.

She has cared for our cat and two dogs multiple times over the past 4 years when we've been gone for overnights as well as multi-week trips.

The animals love Sophia and run to the door whenever she arrives. She's our first choice when we need a pet sitter.”
