About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up caring for dogs, cats, horses, goats, chickens, and turkeys, which gave me hands-on experience with animals of all kinds from a young age. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs for family, friends, and neighbors, gaining experience with everything from puppy potty and crate training to feeding, walking, bathing, administering basic care, and providing lots of love and attention. I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels, and I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I'm currently working part time, so I have plenty of time within my days to love and care for your fur babies while your're unable to! I have a fenced yard with lots of other friendly dogs that are always eager to have another playmate! Between crate training, potty training, or walks with your pup I am able and willing to do it all!

About: Growing up I always had some sort of pet whether that be my bearded dragon, leopard gecko, cats, dogs, birds, all of it. I recently lost my disabled kitty but he taught me lots about medication administration, accessibility, and so many more things that are needed when working with a disabled or any kind of medical condition in pets. I now have a kitten and thankfully my childhood dog is still alive which I’m very grateful for. I’d love to spend time with your babies too! I live in Columbia because my boyfriend goes to Mizzou, but I currently am not working anywhere, so I can help you out anytime, anywhere:) I am very careful when it comes to pet safety. Like mentioned earlier my baby, Theo, is disabled as well as special needs. He takes medication and has to have certain accommodations around the apartment just for him. Making sure he is safe is a big priority as well as a big priority for your pet too!

“Kenzie was so sweet and caring to my kitty! She was very communicative, and was thorough and attentive to all of my instructions. Hazel can be a hard cat to take care of, and Kenzie did a great job. I will definitely be booking with her again!”

About: I loved animals ever since I was a kid and raised and trained my dog Zephyr since he was a year old. I adore all animals care for two rodents of my own named Orchid and Meadow. I often petsit for my family and friends and have taken care of a wide variety of animals. I've taken care of pets of all ages from puppies to my senior dog who currently has from dementia. I am very patient and licensed CNA so I know how to handle a mess. I am a freshman in college though my classes are very light. I'm free after 9am on Mondays and Wednesdays, Tuesdays and Thursdays I'm free after 12:15 though I can come in earlier anytime before 9, Fridays can vary for me but I'm typically free after 9-10 am though sometimes if I have an exam it might be an hour or so later though I can always make arrangements if necessary. I care for pets by following their routine, spending lots of time with them, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m respectful of my client's homes and always clean up after the pets and leave everything as I found it. I After a procedure my dog needed to be crate trained so I know how to handle that.

About: I have had a dog ever since I was 10 years old. I got another dog shortly after and would take care of them both when my parents were away. I watch my neighbors two large dogs for weeks at a time. I enjoy taking dogs on walks outside and playing with them- I treat them as my own. I work another job part time, I go to work early and am usually done around 3 or 4. I am available most weekends all day and am available for overnight care. I am normally off Friday-Sunday. I have a big field in my backyard and am comfortable if you do not live in a fenced in area. I am comfortable putting pets in a crate as well.

About: While I don't have formal experience, I've spent my whole life taking care of pets at home. I've even raised our current pups from puppies to adulthood, handling everything from feeding to playtime. My goal is to treat every pet like part of the family. I'm currently a college student down in Springfield, but whenever I'm back in town for breaks or summer, I will have a fairly flexible schedule! I'm available on the weekends, evenings, and soon to be during the weekdays as well! Every pet deserves the family treatment! I'm careful to follow their set routines and rules - whether it's playtime, feeding, or crate time. Your pet's safety always comes first!

“Our dogs LOVE Corynna and we can't wait to have her come back again!!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 16 years old, and we always had a dog or two in the house when I was growing up. This taught me responsibility and love for all dogs! I’ve taken care of many puppies, trained my own dogs from birth, and more. I tend to gravitate towards dogs and dogs tend to gravitate towards me. In my care, your dog will receive endless amounts of love and playtime between myself and my dogs, responsible care, a yard and frequent potty/food breaks, and a stress free experience for both you and your dog! I’m currently working full-time, but I am able to come home on lunch breaks Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday to interact with the dogs. I work from home on Mondays and Fridays, off Saturdays and Sundays. My schedule is pretty flexible so you can bet your dog will be taken care of! I have a fenced in back and front yard, and two sweet, trained, cuddly labs for your fur friend to play with (they love playing)! If I need to be away at any time, I can easily crate your dog next to my crate trained dogs. My dogs also enjoy the off leash dog parks, so if you are comfortable with it, I would take your dog to them for extra playtime! I feed my dogs twice a day, but can adjust to your dogs feeding schedule. I take my dogs out to potty about every 4 hours, but again, can adjust to your dogs potty needs. If in your home, your rules will be followed and I will only accept as long as I’m able to meet ALL of your needs. My goal is to provide a stress free home/experience for any fur friends needed!

About: While I have limited formal experience, I’m responsible and attentive when walking dogs and supervising them to ensure their safety and comfort. I follow instructions carefully, stay alert to behavior and surroundings, and make sure each dog gets calm, consistent care. As a medical student, I have a structured schedule and spend much of my time studying at home, which allows me to be present, attentive, and reliable while pet sitting. I’m also happy to stay at your home as long as I’m able to study on my laptop, ensuring your pets get consistent supervision and care. I take thoughtful, high-quality care of my own cat by staying on top of feeding routines, litter box cleanliness, health monitoring, and daily enrichment. I’m very attentive to changes in behavior or appetite and make sure my cat feels safe, comfortable, and well loved every day.

“Jessica was amazing with Nash (who can be quite a handful 🤣) She came for his potty, dinner, and anxiety pill routine when I worked long hours and I always felt at ease with the communication and photos she provided. I can’t wait to book with her again for the remainder of the summer! 10/10!!!”

“Emily was super great, took good care of our cat. And was always fast to respond. From the photos we could see George was happy to spend time with her.”

About: I have genuine hand on experience with a multitude of animals and their needs. I feel comfortable giving medication as needed, taking an animal out on walks or to a pet store. I keep the pet on routine with what they normally know, trying to cause as little disruptions as possible. I make sure to give the dog space at their home so they know they are safe with someone new while they warm up to me. Because I’m already tuned into the needs of animals 24/7, adding another pet to the mix feels natural and exciting—not like extra work. Whether it's sticking to a specific feeding schedule, administering medication, or just giving lots of love and attention, I'm already doing those things daily, and I genuinely enjoy it. I offer overnight pet care, weekend or extended stay care, and per request care. I get a good pet profile from the owner so I know about the animal before meeting them and know what to do to make them comfortable or what to look for if needed. I offer day before meets so the pet can get comfortable meeting me before pet care starts. If I do single services, I will make sure the pet has their basic needs met before leaving, as well as any additional requests that might be needed. All owners also get updates on their pet, as well as when pet care is over for the day/ booking if I leave before they arrive.

About: I’ve worked with many kinds of animals since early highschool. Some of my first jobs were working with livestock and as a kennel technician at a boarding/daycare facility. Aside from that, I have a strong passion for connection with animals of all kinds and would love to aid you in caring for your most special friends. I have two friendly, playful dog’s of my own, a 4 yr old red heeler and a 2 yr old red heeler/boarder collie mix! I have open availability right now for all furry critters, sun up to sun down and beyond! I am very flexible and the pets fit into my whole day! I will always treat your pet(s) like my own and with the utmost respect! Id love to be able to give loving care and help make your life easier knowing your pet is having a good time when i’m around. I’m happy to accommodate your pets needs and comofort levels. Any animal brought into our home for pet services will have been screened and introduced to our animals, ensuring we will only have a safe and fun environment for our furry friends.

About: I’ve been taking care of pets my entire life. From my own dogs as a child to helping friends and neighbors take care of theirs, I have over 40 years of experience, taking care of fur babies. Currently, I have a bernadoodle, a boxer, and a pug. We’ve had many boxers over the years. I’ve taken care of puppies all the way through senior dogs. I’m comfortable giving medication’s and taking care of your fur babies as if they were my own. I am a teacher. The dogs are alone between 6 and 7 hours on a weekday. I typically leave food down, but this can be modified if need be. I have close to an acre fenced in backyard so there is room for them to run and play. The dogs are never outside unattended. Our dogs sleep with us. Taking care of an extra pet or a few extras is no problem at all! I have almost an acre yard that can be gated off into 2 separate yards. If your baby is nervous we can give them their own space to play and run.I love dogs of all sizes and breeds. Our dogs are very gentle and different sizes. When your dog is on our care we will make sure it is safe and feels comfortable. I have space to keep dogs separate if needed. My goal is to welcome your pet into our pack and treat them like family!

About: I work in nursing and I love animals just as I love people I’ve been taking care of animals often on for the past six years. I’ve been in nursing for 10. I love spending time with animals especially my fur babies. I work overnights two days a week in a hospital, so I’m very flexible. It helps because I make my own schedule and I have my schedule out in advance. i also love going on trial walks and dog parks to let the fur babies run off that energy and have fun . I try to stick to a routine and keep them on schedule, of course show them love and affection as well. I keep them safe by being aware of my surroundings, and just interacting with them

“Kaitlyn was super professional and wonderful with our cats. She sent pics and communicated along the way. She spent extra time with them and the cat litter and food areas were spotless. Will definitely be using her again!!!!!!”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and love caring for them. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, personalities, and energy levels, from Labs and small Cavachons to active Border Collies. As a primary caregiver and experienced dogsitter, I’m comfortable feeding, walking, letting dogs out, administering medications, and staying overnight in clients’ homes. I’m willing to follow each dog’s individual routine and needs. I want every dog I care for to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their family are away. My schedule gives me flexibility throughout the week to stop by, let dogs out, go for walks, feed them, and spend quality time with them. I’m also comfortable staying overnight in your home when needed. I’m happy to work with your dog’s normal routine as much as possible so they feel comfortable while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for both your dog and your home. When I’m caring for a dog, I follow the owner’s instructions and try keeping their normal routine. I’m affectionate and playful with dogs, but I also pay attention to their personality, boundaries, and comfort level. Whether your dog wants to play, go for a walk, or just hang out on the couch, I’m there. My goal is for you to be able to leave knowing your dog is being cared for by someone who wants the best for them.

About: Hello! I’m Sarah! I’m an animal lover and have experience with pets of all breeds, shapes, and sizes! I think the most important part of caring for any pet is getting to know them! I would love to meet for your furry friend! Pet care is such a huge part of my life. Between my zoo of animals and the ones I get to meet through rover it is a full time job. I have never had a job I loved more! I have 3 cats and 1 dog who I love very much! All of them are spoiled rotten. My cats are indoor and my pitbull-dachshund mix comes and goes inside/outside as he pleases! Every pet is different and every household operates differently, so I am willing and ready to care for your pet however you may prefer!

“Sarah was great! She was available last minute and was in contact with me the whole time. Highly recommend”
