About: I have done checkins, dog sitting, and walks for my neighbors, families, and friends dogs. I have watched and worked with dogs of all sizes. I’ve spent afternoons caring for dogs. I’m adequate at cleaning up any messes dogs may make. I am good for afternoon to evening visits. I work until 4 pm on the week days. I’m free all day on my weekends of Saturday and Sunday. I’m very attentive to how dogs react to me. If they are on the timid side, I try to let them warm up to me. If they are on the playful more energetic side then I will be much more playful. I give the energy and attention to what the dog will need from me.

About: Hi there! I'm a lifelong animal lover with over 42 years of experience caring for both dogs and cats. From playful puppies to senior pets, I’ve handled it all—including administering medications and providing calm, attentive care for animals with special needs. Before joining Rover, I ran a professional pet transport business, so I understand just how important it is to keep pets safe, comfortable, and stress-free—whether they're at home or on the move. I specialize in caring for cats and dogs under 75 pounds and treat every pet as if they were my own. My schedule is fairly flexible with a little advance notice, and I'm committed to providing dependable, compassionate care that gives pet parents peace of mind. Whether you need drop-in visits, walks, or pet sitting, I’m here to help you and your furry family members feel at ease. My schedule is fairly flexible with a little advance notice, and I'm committed to providing dependable, compassionate care that gives pet parents peace of mind. Whether you need drop-in visits, walks, or pet sitting, I’m here to help you and your furry family members feel at ease. I follow instructions given for your pets so that their routine is not interrupted in your absence. Writen instructions are preferred for referring back too.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for many years from family pets, neighbors dogs, dogs of friends, and living with my roommates dog for almost 3 years. I have always been hands-on and very engaging with all dogs I meet. I have learned many important skills involved in puppy training, differing pet routines and needs, positive reinforcement, and how to keep each and every dog comfortable and happy. I prioritize consistent care and reliability, so you can feel confident that your dog is in good hands. I currently have an internship with a very flexible schedule, so I will have plenty of time focused towards availability and care for your pets. If needed I will pursue another part-time job to provide me with a livable income, but I will continue to communicate changes in my schedule availability. Whether I am caring for pets in my home or in my client’s home, I focus on creating a calm, safe, and fun environment. I learn each pet’s routine include mealtimes, medications, walks, and any other needs the dog may need. I make sure each puppy is given the proper attention they need with positive interactions, any needed space, and I am very adaptable to each dog’s personality. I also prioritize cleanliness in every client’s home and use proper communication with clients to satisfy their needs along with their pets’ needs.

About: I have taken care of my animals 5 years and my family animals since a kid. My own dog has epilepsy so I know what to look for and what to do in that situation. I know how to give medication. I currently work at the Zipline in Stanton so it’s not a set schedule. With that I take care of them before I leave or really I take care of them first in the morning. I have two very loving dogs who love to play outside with others. My backyard is big and fenced in. And I have baby gates to keep them out of things they shouldn’t have.

About: I have more than 20 years of experiencing caring for dogs and ensuring their happiness and wellbeing. From large to small, I love them all. I currently have a Newfoundland and a Labrador. I am comfortable giving medications to any pets who may need them. I work from home and therefore available to spend as much time with your pet or in your home as may be preferred. My schedule is highly flexible and I strive to be accommodating. I aim to treat everyone's home as if it were my own and will try my best to leave it cleaner and im better shape than before my arrival.

“Vanessa has stayed with our pups twice now and has done a fantastic job! We have three senior pups that can be a handful but they are so extremely happy and well cared for with Vanessa. She will be staying with them again next week as well!”


About: I have taken care of dogs and cats of many different breeds since I was a child. My love from animals has only grown as I’ve grown! I am my friends and family’s go-to person for dog and cat sitting! I am a stay-at- home dog mom to two amazing pups, therefore my availability is open to spend time and care for more dogs, AND cats. I have two playful dogs to keep your animals company, if desired. I’m also really good with feeding schedules, and crating as requested! I’ll always make sure your animals are safe and happy!

About: Hello! My name is Courtney and I've dedicated the past seven years of my life to caring for animals, and it's been the most rewarding experience. From gentle giants to tiny critters, I've had the privilege of tending to a diverse range of pets. My passion for animal welfare is matched only by my commitment to providing the highest quality care. When you entrust your furry, feathered, or scaled family member to me, you can rest assured they'll receive the love and attention they deserve. I'm not just a pet sitter; I'm a compassionate caregiver who understands the unique needs of each animal. I'll follow your specific instructions, administer medications, and provide plenty of playtime and cuddles. Whether it's a quick drop-in or extended stay, I'll treat your pet like my own. Let's keep your pet happy and healthy while you're away. I currently work full time Monday through Friday while being off on Thursdays so I am available for boarding Friday through Sunday. I am also available to walk dogs after 5pm Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday and any time on Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday I have a fenced in yard with two friendly Great Pyrenees that will definitely keep your fur baby busy and happily playing. If your pet needs to be leashed walked I am more than willing to accommodate for that.

About: I have always loved animals and have been surrounded by them since I was a little kid. I've always been an animal advocate as when I take responsibility of them they are my top priority. I always feed my pets before myself and make sure they are as happy as can be!! I currently work 48 hours on and 96 hours off, leaving me with four days a week of just being at home. I am looking for a little side cash while also improving my physical and mental health by taking care of animals that can benefit from it! I live in an apartment building in downtown washington with a park a block away, I live to take my dog and cat over to the park so they can stretch their legs and play.

“Erika did a great job taking care of our 2 Airedale Terriers and our home on her first visit!”


About: I have helped raise two dogs growing up, one cocker spaniel and one golden retriever. I have also somewhat raised cats. Unfortunately all the cats my family has gotten has been outside cats which always made me disappointed. I have pet sat before for both a cat and a medium dog. I love taking care of animals and becoming buddies with pets. Big dogs do slightly intimidate me so I would like to stick to smaller dogs. I am working part time in Hermann and I will have a good amount of time open now that school is over. I am in the Washington/union area but I can drive pretty much anywhere within 25 miles. I plan on moving to Columbia in the fall but I will be pet sitting all this summer to get some more money with my other job. I know that most pets are feisty but I am patient and caring for animals especially since this world can be cruel to them. I will care for your pets based on all the information you give me and if I have any questions I will ask. I also have many friends with animal experience who can help me out if needed. I won’t mistreat your home and will clean up after myself as well as keep it cleaned (I sometimes get a kick out of cleaning). I can keep your home and pets safe.

About: I live in a home with three very affectionate dogs. I’ve experience with clingy, needy dogs from this. I also do well slowly gaining animal trust and reading body language. I’ve also a little experience volunteering at an old dog rehoming center. I work at an elementary school so I usually am not free until 5-6pm. However, my work leaves my evenings and often weekends pretty free. I try to fill the role of their owners to the best of my ability. I’ll try to keep the routine animals want to make them comfy. I also love dog cuddles but am usually gentle. I am pretty good at slowly working to gain trust and read their body language.

About: I've taken care of pets since I was 9 and have always had a cat or dog in my home. I'm good with bathing and playing with them. I currently do not have a job so I'm available everyday of the week. I can be available after 10am to care for the pets. I can change the time if needed. I'm very caring when it comes to cats and dogs. I always make sure they're fed and played with. I just make sure they're well taken care of.

About: I’ve owned animals my entire life. I’ve raised puppies, teaching basic skills and potty training. I am a true animal lover, prioritizing the happiness and health of my pets and caring deeply about all animals. You can trust that your pet will be top priority when in my care. I am available M-F after 5pm for 30+ minute walks and playtime. I am available Saturday and Sunday any time. Depending on your preference, I can walk near your house or I can take them on nature hikes, at local trails for a longer and more enriching experience. I am also available for overnight boarding any day of the week (including weekends). This can be either at your house or my own, depending on the situation. I am willing to discuss any requests. When boarding, I will be available to tend to the animal before and immediately after work and at least every 2-4 hours on the weekends. I will prioritize their needs 100% while they are in my care. I have a dog that is very easygoing and can keep your pet company. She prefers to nap but will share toys and would love a partner for walks. I also have the option to have relatives keep my pets while your pet is staying with me, if your pet prefers no other animals in the house. I also have a guest bedroom that (if necessary) allows me to separate the animals while I am away for safety reasons. I prioritize safety and will constantly monitor the animals, while allowing them freedom to roam and enjoy a comfortable environment. I am also available to stop by your house on a schedule to care for your pet if that is preferred. I am willing to discuss my staying at your residence as well. I am flexible and willing to work out the perfect situation for your specific needs.
