About: I've been around dogs for as long as I can remember and have spent most of my life caring for and training them. My experience includes breeds such as American Staffordshire Terriers, Cane Corsos, and Pit Bulls, as well as many other types of dogs. I also fostered 12 dogs through the Humane Society of Southwest Missouri, working with a wide range of breeds including Mastiffs, Huskies, Heelers, and Terriers. Through fostering, I’ve helped dogs recovering from hip surgeries, heartworm treatment, and other medical needs, while also learning how to adapt to different personalities, energy levels, and care requirements. Over the years, this experience has strengthened my ability to help all dogs feel safe, comfortable, and loved! I'm available to board during the weekdays a majority of the time and sometimes weekends depending on availability. I'd be with your pet all day unless a quick grocery run or other short side quest. I have a fenced yard of about 0.40 acres, providing plenty of space for dogs to run and burn energy. My neighbor also has dogs, allowing for possible socialization if appropriate. I also have an XL crate available if needed, ensuring a safe and comfortable space for any dog. Otherwise, they would be with me playing and relaxing, if requested I can also walk with them and take them to some parks!

About: Walking, bathing, and hanging out with dogs is some of my favorite downtime activities. Growing up with a dog I learned all the necessary skills to watch over a dog. I even volunteered at the humane society in both the dog and cat area for four years! I am currently a teacher so I work from 7-4pm Monday through Friday, but if you need someone to walk your dog at night or house sit for the weekend or even a week night, I am your person! My husband also works from home so if you’re boarding during the week day he is also here to help out if needed. Whatever you need me to do is what I will follow. I will come to your place as my animals do not take well to strangers. But rest assured I will take great care of your animal, in whatever capacity you need. At our home we two cats that do well with other dogs but tend to ignore them, and one dog who LOVES other dogs so no worries there.

“We had a wonderful boarding experience with Lael. Communication was great, with just the right amount of pictures, videos, and check-ins. She truly treated our dog, Maddie, like one of the family. We could tell Maddie was happy and well cared for while she was there, which gave us so much peace of mind. Maddie loved playing outside with her 2 dogs! We would definitely book with her again!”

“Sydney and her husband did a great job with our dog. They were very easy to work with and gave timely updates with pictures! If we’re in the area again, we wouldn’t hesitate to have them take care of her.”

Troy K.

“Highly recommend booking with Dylan. My dog seemed to have a great time and he gave multiple updates every day. I will be re-booking with him!”

Eric S.

“Jennifer was so great with our pup. She sent constant pictures and updates throughout our pups stay. She didn’t want to leave when we picked her up. We will definitely be using Jennifer again.”

Stephanie G.

“Emily and her family are so sweet! She wanted the dogs to get acquainted with her before the stay, but I didn't have the time. Still, I appreciated the gesture. She was also very open to my schedule and was willing to watch my dogs at a very early time. She frequently gave me updates and photos which was a bonus. Would definitely come back to have her watch over Haru and Kobi again! ? A++++ experience.”

Abby Q.

“Selena and her family welcome your pet like their own. This was my first experience with Rover and my dog stayed 10 days with her. She was very kind and loves animals. Very grateful that I got to meet her and let my dog stay with her. Appreciate all the updates and pictures daily. Would use Selena again and again. Hands down the best experience ever! Thank you, Selena for keeping Christopher and letting me enjoy my vacation.”

About: From growing up with dogs to living and working at a mastiff rescue, and now sharing a life with my goofy, sweet blue heeler, Simone, my love for and experience with dogs runs deep. As a good friend once said, dogs can’t lie, and we can’t lie to them. Building trust is my first priority. I have a flexible work schedule with lots of daytime availability and am often available for overnights with notice. Weekdays and weekends open for scheduling. I have a large, fenced yard and a dog door in and out of the house with the option to close-off if necessary. I have one dog who loves new friends and sharing her toys.

“Stefanie was wonderful with my two dogs! She made them part of her family and gave them lots of love and cuddles. She sent me updates and pictures throughout their stay. I will definitely book with Stefanie again!”

About: I’ve had my own dog for the past two years and personally potty trained her, taught her tricks, and trained her to be comfortable and well-behaved around people. I also worked in child care for two years, which taught me patience, responsibility, and how to care for others with attention and love. I treat every dog with the same care and protection I would give a one-year-old baby, making sure they feel safe, happy, and well looked after while you’re away. I’m available Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday all day, and Wednesday from 8:00 AM – 2:00 PM. I’m flexible during those times and happy to work with your pet’s routine. I create a safe, calm environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for. I’m attentive, patient, and always focused on your pet’s safety and happiness. I treat every dog like family and make sure they get plenty of attention and supervision.

“Mariana was great with my dog! She was very attentive and took excellent care of him!”

Cheyenne H.

“Kim went above and beyond to accommodate drop off time. Our pup, Thorin, was comfortable enough to eat his food around Kim and her family. It was the first time we've used Rover and the bar is set high. Thank you, Kim and family!!! We will be keeping her in mind when we need petsitting again.”

About: ~~ I’m the perfect sitter for your anxious, mellow or chill or senior dog as I have a calm and peaceful presence. ~~ What sets me apart is that I work remotely, which allows me to be present with pets throughout the day rather than leaving them alone for long periods. This gives me the flexibility to respond to their needs, routines, and energy levels. I’ve had experience with animals for many years. I previously owned a black lab named Aurora, and I currently have an orange cat of my own. I also regularly help care for my mother’s two dogs — a Maltese Schnauzer and a Golden Retriever — and I’ve looked after my sister’s dog multiple times in the past as well. Animals tend to gravitate toward me because I pay close attention to their body language, boundaries, and personalities. I’m very mindful of their cues and comfort levels, which helps me understand what they need and how they’re feeling. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I’d be happy to give your pet the attention, care, and companionship they deserve. If I’m housesitting, I’m practically readily available. I work a full-time remote job that will still allow me to be present and handle the tasks needed to care for your pets. I would have time to see them in intervals multiple times a day with no problem and with plenty of time for play. But if drop in visits, I can do 2-3 drop in’s. 1st at 7:30-8:30a, 2nd at 11a-1:30p and 3rd at 4:30p-10p - depending on my work schedule and the daily demand. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat the space with the understanding that it is first and foremost your pet’s home and safe environment. I’m very respectful of both the home and the routines that your pet is used to. I keep the environment calm, clean, and consistent so your pet feels comfortable while you’re away. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and house rules. I also avoid loud noise or disruptions and aim to maintain the same peaceful atmosphere your pet is used to. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, relaxed, and cared for, while also treating your home with the same respect I would my own.

About: I grew up on a farm so naturally, I love animals. I've always been around dogs, cats, and livestock. I currently have a dog and cat of my own, so I'm always researching to better understand body language, vocalizations, breed specific traits, and positive reinforcement techniques that help me strengthen the bond between me and the animal. I also have volunteer experience. I started my first pet sitting job when I was 12 for my neighbors who were big travelers. Since then, I've fallen in love with the idea of getting paid to play with animals. I'm very thankful and passionate about what I do! I have another job which I pick my own schedule for around my Rover bookings, so my availability is always completely open. I'm flexible enough to accept same day bookings. I've grown up with pets of all personalities. My parents have always called me the animal whisperer of the family. I love learning about how their brains work. I understand their wants and needs and I respect their boundaries and quirks, which is why I think pets are so drawn to me.
