“Jennifer was great with Merle! She was available right away when I found out I needed a dog walker and responded within minutes. She was literally there within an hour. I really appreciate her being accommodating and taking my furbaby for a walk on such short notice. He had a great time and she sent me cute pictures of him on campus :)”

About: I have been pet sitting since my freshman year of college, and am now in my 30s. I am especially good with older dogs who need special care - even hand feeding or adjusting what they eat for their digestive systems to handle on a given day. Let me handle them and I'll make sure they know they're loved! When the alarm goes off at 5:30 every morning, I take our two labs downstairs to go outside, and then it's back up to the kitchen for breakfast. They spend the day with my husband, and then I take them outside before bed. They are my whole world! My biggest goal is to make sure I abide by your pet's routine and disrupt their schedule as little as possible. Our animals trust us, and I never take that trust for granted.

“Lydia does amazing with my high energy puppy!!! She was super flexible as plans changed and always responds to my messages quickly. She pays attention and leaves me a detailed report card with lots of pictures. I feel safe leaving my sweet girl in Lydia’s care and love that while in the crazy process of moving across the country, I know I have a reliable dog walker. 10/10 she’s the best! :)”


About: I’ve had dogs all my life! Being around dogs is therapeutic! I have experience in puppy age, elderly dogs, pets with disabilities or requiring medicine! Every dog is different and we treat every pet to their needs! I am an active duty servicemember and my wife works from home. Flexibility is not an issue. Your pet will be cared for in our cooled home and someone will always be with the fur babies. We have surveillance cameras when we are not home. Our two Rottweilers are not aggressive, cuddle bears, [crate] trained, and have excellent recall. Our backyard is large and is already separated for large and small dogs. We have security surveillance around the property. In your property, I will ensure it is secure and safe for your pet.

About: I can talk to dogs. I'm just kidding, I have a husky that talks to me ALL the time. I adore his howls and groans. I’m a Stay at Home Mom and I would love nothing more than to help take care of your beautiful pup that means so much to you! I have a lot of experience caring for others dogs and I understand all dogs are different and have different needs. I've taken dogs to the vet and held their paw to make them feel better. I love to walk and hike with the pups so we can all get our work out in ;) Let me take care of your sweet pups! I’m a stay at home mom so I have a very flexible schedule! I can do most any time of day and I can work around nap schedules at our house. For dog walking, I make sure that your dog stays hydrated. I take into account the temperature outside. My husky can’t go on long walks in the summer because it’s too hot. When we do walk him, we have to take him in the evening time. So I can do the same for your pup if he/she is more sensitive like mine.

About: I have cared for animals my entire life. Friends and family rely on me to walk, stay with, play with and care for their animals as I would my own. I grew up with pets and have been the sole caregiver for mine for 8 years. I have 2 cats and 1 dog. I consider them my children and would treat yours with the same respect and care. I work full-time 9-5 but I am fully remote so I have flexibility to step away! I am available weeknights and weekends as well. Will work with you to best accommodate your pet. Upon entry to my clients home, I would safely secure the entrance to ensure the pet did not escape and no one else accessed the property. I would lovingly great your pet with lots of cuddles and kisses. If I am walking, I would apply the proper safety harness/collar and walk the dog for your desired duration, ensure all bathroom breaks are made. I would return your pet safely and secure the home before departure. If I am staying to play, I would let the pet outside in the approved area for bathroom breaks and use the provided toys to enrich your pet for the desired duration. I would secure the home before departure. In both instances, I would leave your pet with an empty bladder and full heart.

My days are all about making sure these furry friends get the love, exercise, and attention they deserve. Mornings kick off with walks or potty breaks, followed by feeding and playtime. Throughout the day, I fit in more walks, drop-ins, or daycare sessions tailored to each pet's unique needs. One of the best parts? My home has an amazing acre of fenced-in yard where pets can run free and play to their heart's content. Plus, I've even installed a DIY doggy door so they can come and go as they please. It's the perfect setup for them to feel right at home. Evenings are all about longer walks, cuddles, and winding down together before bed. On a weekly basis, I make sure to balance pet care with my personal schedule, so I'm always available for your pets, whether it's during the week or on weekends. My goal is to create a safe, loving space where pets feel like they're part of the family. For me, pet care isn't just a job—it's my passion! I have a fenced yard and one high energy pup to keep your dog company or if they are a low energy type even better cuz then they can hang out with me I have a fenced yard and one high-energy pup who can keep your dog company. If your dog is more low-energy, that's great too—they can hang out with me and be my buddy. No one is ever left feeling lonely here. My home is a lot like a dog park, with plenty of fenced in outside space for them to enjoy. If your dog does well at the dog park, I’m confident they’ll thrive with me!

About: I’ve had pets my whole life and my world has always revolved around them. I have a 14-year-old Shiba Inu named Ginger, a 2-year-old cat named Frankie, and a 6-month-old kitten named Theo who I love more than anything. I have experience with animals of all ages, from puppies and kittens to seniors. I know how stressful it is for pets and parents when you have to leave town, but I’m dedicated to doing whatever I can to keep your pets happy and comfortable in your absence. I have a super flexible remote job, so I’m able to work around your pets’ schedules and needs! It’s super important to me that your pets maintain their routine even when you’re gone. I’m super flexible when it comes to petcare arrangements. I have three pets of my own, but can offer boarding for fully vaccinated animals. If your pet is friendly and comfortable, I’m happy to let them socialize if you’d like, but I can also arrange a separate, private bedroom when boarding to keep your pet isolated if needed. I work remotely, so I’m home all day to keep your pet company. If you’d prefer drop-in visits, I have a super flexible schedule!

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.

About: I LOVE animals of all sorts. I've personally had cats for 23 years. I also have a bunny. I have taken care of other people's dogs for the past few years, and have been cat-sitting and house sitting for about 15 years. I am currently working full time but able to make my own hours at work, to make sure that there is adequate time for your furbaby. I provide tons of snuggles, attention, walks for dogs (or cats if they are trained to do so) at your preference. Available for walks, drop-ins and overnights. I am currently unable to care for your pets in MY home because I have 2 cats and a bunny, but I can provide tons of affection, clean their litterbox and/or yard poops daily. If your dog or cat is playful, I am happy to engage with them in that way as well to exert energy.

“First time user of a dog sitter and it was a complete success. Samantha asked all the right questions when we met and Charlie and Gizzy were happy campers. I really was impressed the with Rover cards that showed where they had walked and how long. I knew exactly where they were and where they had been. When we returned home we were met at the doors with tails wagging but I had to stop and wonder, were they glad to see us or did they think Sam was back to play. Either way They were happy and that is what matters. We will definitely use the service again and contact Samantha. Thanks Sam!!!”
