“Shannon was very responsive and easy to coordinate with. Her dog Lola is very sweet and Koda now has a new best friend! Shannon also has kids at home, which was another plus for Koda as she absolutely adores children. I have already booked another DoggyDayCare with Shannon!”
“I am absolutely and completely impressed by the kind, genuine care and attention that Edgar and his wife shared with my lil guy Zion. The communication was very clear and consistent, that was so good. We are very grateful for them and recommend them 💯! We hope to be able to have them watch Zion again soon. Truly felt like he was with family. Thank you.”
“Nazgul and her family are so kind and very hospitable. She takes such a good care of our cat and make sure our cat is happy and comfortable. We always bring our cat to her whenever we go out of town for the weekend.”
“Caddy was LOVED and so well taken care of. Malissa was amazing! Great communicator, cuddled and loved on my dog and walked her and gave her all the attention in the world. My dog is spoiled! And she did not want to come home when we picked her up. I was hesitant booking with multiple dogs and was happy to find that Malissa took 1-2 dogs at a time. It was only caddy this time and she had a little puppy. Good to know my dog behaved and I will book her over and over in the future. Malissa offers multiple services so anything you need, she can do!”
“Frank & Saleha are the best! They took care of my senior dog like he was their own and went above and beyond. I would highly recommend them. I was super comfortable leaving my baby in their care.”
“What an amazing sitter! Robert was available at last minute notice when our original sitter was unavailable. He sent great updates, kept me informed through photos too. I would definitely recommend Robert to anyone looking for a friendly pet sitter.”
“Just Wow, Totally unexpected the care and environment provided by Jack & Morgan. Our home is their home kind of vib and our pups soaked it up. Very accommodating and looked after our dogs as needed. Class act right here and we are so appreciative of what they had to offer!”
“So thankful for Stephanie! She suggested a meet and greet which was great! Gave us a chance to see Katie in those surroundings. Our Katie gets anxious when we leave but with Stephanie we knew she'd be taken care of. We were able to go out of town and not worry about our girl. Stephanie sent photos so we could see how Katie was doing. Gave us peace of mind.”
“Wonderful care taker. Kept me updated each day with photos of my happy dog. Really customized his care with things he enjoyed to do! It was my first time leaving Henry with her and would do it again. Thank you!”
“I had no doubts that May would deliver! My boys were comfortable and happy at all times and they even made a new friend, her dog Teddy. May made it imperative that she had all the details to properly care for my dogs prior to and during drop off. My eldest has leg issues and is a senior. She made sure that his handicaps were well attended to. All in all, I am very satisfied. Will hire her again in the near future.”
“Melissa took great care of our sweet boy over a long weekend away. She was competent with all his special meals and meds, making sure he had everything he needed for a comfortable stay. She was great about sending updates and we were able to relax in knowing he was getting along just fine without us, even making some new doggie friends during his visit. Highly recommend!”
“I’m happy I made the choice of leaving my baby Georgie with Tasha. She was a great at communicating, and sending me pics and videos. I would definitely leave him with her again. Thank you Tasha.”
“This was the first time we’ve had to leave Roxi for over a week and Robert was so good about making us feel that she was in good hands. We received updates and pictures regularly. Thank you, Robert, for always taking such good care of Roxi!”
“Cassandra was an amazing host for my little dog for three days! She sent regular updates and photos, was quick to respond, and even went out and bought an extra can of his favorite flavor of food when it ran out and he wasn't eating the other flavors. Can't recommend her enough!”
“First time utilizing this service, Rachelle was beyond amazing, very informative kept me updated and sent pictures. Ryder had the best time for his overnight stay & I will continue to use Rachelle for all my dog sitter needs. I can't even thank her enough for her passion & dedication to dogs and my dog Ryder. Best experience!”
“I am so blessed to know Bianca. My baby girl Luna loves her and is so excited to stay at her house. I have a peace of mind leaving her with Bianca and knowing that she is in good hands. ❤️”

“Marissa has been outstanding. This was a last minute arrangement and we could not have been happier with the wonderful care our aloof ragdoll cat has recieved from Marissa. We will definitely be requesting her caring and thorough help in the future and we highly recommend her. Thank you Marissa.”
About: I’ve been around cats since I was a teenager. I have a great deal of experience caring for cats, including rescues, since both my cats and my parents all came from shelters. I also have experience caring for an entire litter of kittens.
About: My first experience with cats was an old TNR. She was a magnificent, orange girl who we named Momo, who hopped into my car one night and blossomed as she spent the rest of her golden years with us. No one could have asked for a more gentle and caring protector. With her, I learned about providing care for elderly pets and the challenges of dealing with terminal illness as she finally crossed the Rainbow Bridge. After Momo, my wife and I have dedicated ourselves to taking care of 4 rescues who were orphaned kittens with a challenging start at life. Now, they are four healthy adults (one of whom is slightly rotund for her size). From all these experiences, I've become proficient at kitten-care as well as elderly cat-care. I am comfortable with administering medications, both oral and topical, including supplements.
About: I’ve always had a big heart for animals and genuinely enjoy spending time with pets of all personalities. I’m patient, attentive, and understand that every pet has their own routine, quirks, and comfort level. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just having someone nearby, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at. I’ll treat your pets with the same love, care, and attention I’d want for my own, while making sure you feel comfortable knowing they’re in good hands. 🐾❤️ I have a very flexible schedule! My husband and I operate our own dog poop scooping business, which allows me to have plenty of flexibility throughout the week. Outside of that, my schedule is generally open, so I’m available for walks, drop-ins, pet sitting, and plenty of quality time with your pets. 🐾 Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I’m attentive, patient, and will carefully follow any instructions you provide regarding feeding, medications, walks, routines, or special needs. I understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to make sure they feel comfortable and secure in my care. I’ll always be mindful of doors, gates, leashes, and surroundings, and I’ll keep you updated so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. 🐾
“Thank you for taking care of Zoey! She is a tough cat but you were able to deal and get through. Lucas showed on time and followed instructions thoroughly. Was a easy process and he is very trusting. Was a pleasure meeting you Lucas!”
“Karina was amazing. This booking was my first time using River.com and the experience has been incredible. Karina came in each day, sent pictures and updates of my two little cats. She spent time with them and although they are shy cats, they befriended her. I am grateful to have found a pet sitter that we love and trust. It will definitely make it easier when I do have to leave them.”
“Sara is absolutely wonderful with our new 4 month old puppy! She is great at responding back to messages, sends update pictures, and is just super sweet with our new family member. We will be continuing to use our services as she checks in on our puppy mon-fri 😊!!”
About: I have a cat myself, i love and cherish her as i do with other cats as well. i know how to properly care for a cat and make sure they have what they need. I do have experience with dogs and know how to care for a dog just as much as i do for a cat. I love all animals and would love to get to know yours.
“Johana was wonderful! She kept me updated throughout my time away. Even got my 6 month old cat to come out and play. I'm extremely happy with her service and will absolutely try to book her again whenever i must be away from my fur baby.”
About: I have taken care of cats since I was about 10 years old. I had two cats at the time and I was in charge of feeding and changing their litter at least twice a day. Once I lived on my own I got my own cat, Felix, then a few years later another cat, Grizwold. Having a nice clean area for the cats has always been a priority for me. I look forward to do the same for your cat(s).
“This past weekend my fiancé and I left town to attend our wedding. We were extremely concerned about who we could entrust to watch over our two beautiful kitties Henry & Ethel. You see, I am not a normal person in the sense that I am incredibly protective of my little babies, and I am very particular about how they are cared for. After searching Rover we found Monica and asked about her availability, and I must say this was the best decision we ever made. Monica took time out to come meet our babies and discuss the services she offered. We were blown away by her level of professionalism. Monica also carries extensive credentials and experience, which helped put our minds at ease while we were away. While we were away Monica spent her days and nights caring for our kitties. She routinely went above and beyond the call of duty. Monica checked in with us regularly to let us know how our little ones were doing, which was absolutely fantastic! In addition to all of her amazing services, credentials, and professionalism Monica is a pure animal lover who enjoys caring for people’s furry family members. Our kitties felt completely at home and comfortable with Monica from the moment they met her. In the future we will exclusively use Monica for all of our cat-care needs. We fully suggest that anyone in the market for these types of services look no further than Monica. Sincerely, A Crazy Cat Dad & his new bride”
About: Jonathan and I care for cats as a team, and I bring professional feline experience ranging from working with large cats as a zookeeper to caring for domestic cats at an animal shelter. I’ve worked with kittens, adults, seniors, social cats, fearful and undersocialized cats, and cats with a wide range of temperaments, medical needs, and special-care routines. That experience taught me how to read feline body language, notice subtle changes, and allow each cat to interact on their own terms. We will never pull a nervous cat out of hiding or force affection. Social cats can enjoy playtime, enrichment, and plenty of attention, while shy cats will receive patient, quiet care and the space they need to feel safe. We’ll carefully follow feeding and medication instructions, refresh water, clean litter boxes, and pay attention to changes in appetite, behavior, or bathroom habits. We’re also extremely careful around exterior doors. After every visit, you’ll receive photos and an honest update so you know exactly how your cat is doing.
About: Living on a farm has given me extensive hands-on experience caring for animals with different personalities, temperaments, and comfort levels. I understand that cats especially need patience, consistency, and the freedom to build trust on their own terms. I never force interaction and pay close attention to body language and behavioral cues so I can adjust my approach to what makes your cat feel most comfortable. My background in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) has also given me a strong understanding of behavior, positive reinforcement, routines, and how environment can influence an animal’s comfort and responses. I bring that knowledge into the way I care for pets while always respecting the routines and boundaries established by their owners. I’m happy to provide feeding and fresh water, litter box care, playtime, medications when needed, and plenty of affection for cats who want it. I also know how stressful it can be leaving your pet with someone new, so I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident that your cat is safe, comfortable, and receiving lots of attention. Because I live on a property with other animals, safety and appropriate separation are extremely important to me. Pets are never expected to interact with unfamiliar animals, and I take precautions based on each pet’s individual needs and comfort level.
About: I’ve been caring for cats for years and have experience with cats of all ages, personalities, and needs, from confident cuddle bugs to shy cats who need extra patience to warm up. I’ve fostered sick kittens through SEMO Pets humane society in my college town of Cape Girardeau, Missouri (south of St. Louis). which is a rural town where feral cats are having kittens left and right. I have taken in many kittens and helped nurse them back to health, including providing medications, eye care, feeding, cleaning, and lots of hands-on attention. I’m comfortable administering medications according to instructions and keeping up with feeding, water, litter boxes, and individual routines. I also have experience caring for multiple cats at once, so I understand how important clean litter boxes, enrichment, playtime, and observing each cat’s behavior can be. I’m a bit of a clean freak myself, so I’ll always clean up after your cats and keep their space fresh. Most importantly, I don’t expect every cat to immediately love me. I’m happy to sit on the floor, give them space, play with them, or simply hang out nearby until they decide I’m trustworthy. 🐈⬛
About: Hi, I’m Rob– Your Pet’s Second Favorite Human! 🐾 With over 15 years of experience caring for dogs I treat every pet like they’re my own. Whether it’s long walks, cuddle sessions, or special care for senior pets, I understand that each animal has its own personality and needs. I’ve worked with pets of all sizes, ages, and temperaments, including those with medical or behavioral needs. I’m reliable, attentive, and always focused on creating a safe, happy, and stress-free experience—for both you and your pet. Whether you’re away for a weekend or just need daily drop-ins, you can count on me for trustworthy, loving care. Let’s make sure your furry friend feels right at home—even when you’re not! 🐶 I know how important it is to have someone you can count on—especially with a busy schedule. That’s why I offer flexible availability mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends to fit your pet’s routine and your lifestyle. ✔️ Early morning walks before work ✔️ Midday drop-ins and playtime ✔️ Evening feedings and cuddles ✔️ Weekend sitting and overnight care available Whether your pet needs daily attention or occasional visits, I’ll work with your schedule to make sure they’re cared for and loved like family.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Sage
Prices are estimates per day for 1 dog. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
“Nicole is absolutely amazing! She was so kind, understanding and accommodating. She provided plenty of photo and video updates throughout the day and I loved seeing how happy my baby was while I was away. Our puppy Stella had an absolute blast playing with Nicole’s doggo Sunshine each day during her stay! She finally made a new friend who can rival her energy. Each morning she was so excited for drop-off with her new friends and each evening she came home happy and thoroughly worn out, which is really saying something for our little furry ball of energy! Stella already can’t wait for her next visit with Nicole and Sunshine. Nicole is a quality, caring sitter who I cannot recommend enough!”
“Tashia was such a great caretaker for our beagle! Our beagle had such a fun time playing with the other dogs - Tashia sent photos and video! You can tell Tashia loves animals and cares about your pet…..we will book her again.”
“Shannon to the rescue and always takes good care of Sandy!! Would highly recommend Shannon for all your pet sitting needs. She’s caring and responds right away to any questions you may have.”
“I was pleasantly surprised with how quickly my dogs warmed up to Robert. They both tend to be wary around new people, but they were both immediately at ease and by the end of the visit were even giving Robert kisses. Also appreciated how communicative Robert was leading up to and during their stay!”
“Alisha and Michael were amazing! They were unfazed by our 4 month old puppy who is learning. They treated her like one of their own dogs and she had a great day. Communicated quickly and easily, provided updates, have a great space for dogs. Thank you for a great first experience with Rover!!”
“My dog had a great time at her daycare. She played with her new dog friends and was allowed to run around in the backyard. Jessica took good care of her and she sent me pictures and texts throughout the day to assure me my dog was having a good time.”
“Had a great experience with Tammy! My standard poodle had a great time enjoying the family and has a new friend with their French bulldog. Highly recommend!! Thank you Tammy!😊”
“Karen's home is clean and tidy, which helps me feel safe leaving our little Milo. She is very easy to communicate with and seems to be really in tune with what my little guy needs. This definitely puts me at ease and I can tell he settled in pretty quickly with her. Definitely will re-book again. :)”
“May was fantastic with our dog, Jasper. She really took time to understand some of his quirks and needs to make sure he was safe and comfortable. Great communication throughout, with photos and videos of his stay. He really enjoyed his time!”
“Nazgul and her family were exceptionally warm and attentive with Midnight. From the moment we arrived, I could tell she would settle in quickly and feel at home. Their updates and photos were thoughtful and reassuring, and it was clear she was genuinely cared for. I highly recommend Nazgul and her family to anyone seeking a safe, loving environment for their pet.”
“We are in love with this family! The love shown the minute we stepped foot in their beautiful home. Of course Coco took it upon herself to check everything out including the backyard. Thank you for the peace of mind knowing Coco was in a safe and peaceful play made all the difference in the world. See you soon!”
About: We offer one-family-at-a-time care with no other pets present (including no pets of our own) and no children in the home, creating a quiet, predictable environment that is especially well-suited for anxious, senior, or sensitive dogs who do best outside busy kennel settings. We enjoy making our space feel like a home away from home for visiting dogs. • Stephanie is home throughout the day most days, while Jon is home evenings and weekends when not working. Between the two of us, your dog receives frequent supervision and companionship throughout the day and evening. • For their safety and comfort, dogs should be able to tolerate short periods alone when needed. If your dog requires more continuous supervision, we’re happy to discuss our constant care option. • We are non-smokers and maintain a clean, quiet home in a peaceful neighborhood, using pet-safe, non-toxic products throughout. • We look forward to speaking with you soon! Stephanie is home most of the day, and Jon is home evenings and weekends when not working, allowing for frequent supervision and companionship throughout your dog’s stay. We have a fully fenced yard where dogs can explore, relax, and enjoy outdoor time. Indoors, dogs can play, unwind, and rest in a supervised setting. • If your dog is familiar with using a doggy door, we can provide access for convenience. • We follow your routines and guidelines whenever possible to support a smooth transition into our care. • While we typically provide one-family-at-a-time boarding, there may occasionally be brief overlaps between stays or carefully matched multi-dog combinations. In these cases, we: * Only accept compatible, temperament-appropriate dogs * Maintain supervision and structure at all times * Notify owners in advance If your dog is not comfortable around other dogs, please let us know so we can plan accordingly.
“Melissa was a life saver in a pinch and was able to sit Roscoe on short notice. She was professional and a clear communicator. She has experience and clear practices for keeping dogs safe and cared for in her home.”
“We had such a great experience with Bianca! She was incredibly attentive to all of our questions and concerns, especially since it was our first time leaving Bolo. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. Bolo was happy and comfortable with her right away, and it was clear he was very well taken care of. We’ll definitely be booking with her again—highly recommend!”
“We will be a repeat client for sure. They were great with my playful dog and awesome with communicating about updates with pictures, so we really appreciate that. Thank you 👍🏼”
“Morgan and Jack came through in a pinch with just a few minutes notice. I am beyond happy with their service. Lex loves going and Lex hardly barks, but when he sees this family he is so excited he can't stop barking/talking and wagging his tail. I love that I found this family. Lex loves this family.”
“Estefany did a wonderful job with our Zena. This was our 1st time in doggy daycare so she was very nervous. Estefany stayed in constant communication with me until Zena settled in. I appreciated her good work in helping our pup and making her comfortable! Great job Estefany!! We will be back.”

About: Hello 👋🏻 My name is Kaylee and I’ve been a professional pet sitter for about 5 years now. Over the course of those 5 years I’ve cared for all of the following animals: dogs, cats, birds, fish, snakes, turtles, lizards, hamsters, rabbits and horses. I’m in college getting an animal science degree and I’ve worked with a wide age range of animals. From puppies all the way to senior dogs and kittens all the way to elderly cats. *please know that while my listed prices are accurate additional surcharges may apply. (All prices will be disclosed before booking) I have a lot of availability for pet care in my schedule, I do have college classes I must attend and the occasional appointment with these being non-negotiable blocks of time I must leave the clients home to attend (which will be discussed ahead of time). However aside from that I have a plethora of time available to dedicate solely to your pet(s). *jobs that are “constant care” and/or have strict rules regarding how long the pet(s) can be left alone WILL incur a surge charge. I haven’t had a pet escape or get lost on my watch yet, and I don’t plan to start now. My childhood dog escaped once as kid, and even thought he was quickly found, it made me realize the horror of potentially losing a pet. As a result, I take pet safety very seriously. I will not walk a dog without a leash. I always double and triple check that doors are closed/locked (when appropriate).
About: I have taken care of dogs cats all my life and love them very well dogs and cats are lovers very much I enjoy them very well I can work part time any cats any dogs mid morning mid day that’s easiest for me dogs and cats get along with me very well I prefer to go to them over my house that’s easier for me so I love dogs and cats very much and I love them
“I was surprised by how much I like Joshua as a dog sitter. I’ve been using Rover for 3 years, and have liked all my sitters, but Josh is the best. I have 2 dogs that I spoil, so they can be a little… sensitive? I arranged a ‘meet & greet’ with Josh, and the dogs loved him. Josh is really caring and professional, and asked all the right questions about keeping them happy while I’m away. His head and heart are really in this. It’s great having a sitter who I trust, who’s really reliable. ?”
About: What sets me apart from other care givers is the level of care and attention I give every pet. I know that every pet has a unique personality, routine, and comfort level, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I cared for my own female hound mix from the time she was just six weeks old until she passed at 16 years old. That experience taught me how to care for a dog through every stage of life - from energetic puppy years to the special patience and gentle attention senior dogs need. I'm comfortable following feeding schedules, administering care as needed, going on walks that match a dog's energy level, and making sure pets get plenty of love, playtime, and companionship. I'm dependable, communicative, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pet is in caring and responsible hands. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy, and I've built my schedule to be as flexible as possible. I have availability throughout the week, including weekdays and weekends, and I'm happy to accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits whenever I can. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop-in visit, or overnight care, I'll do my best to work around your schedule. I also keep my calendar updated so you can book with confidence, and I'll communicate promptly if you have any questions or special requests. My goal is to provide reliable, consistent care that fits seamlessly into both your routine and your pet's. I currently provide pet care in my clients' homes, where I focus on keeping your pet comfortable by maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. I'll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any other special care your pet requires. I understand that consistency helps pets feel safe while you're away, so I take the time to learn their habits, preferences, and personality. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, play sessions, or simply relaxing with company, I'll make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and care. I'll also treat your home with the same respect I would my own, keep everything clean and secure, and provide regular updates with photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away.
About: I’ve always had a big heart for animals and genuinely enjoy spending time with pets of all personalities. I’m patient, attentive, and understand that every pet has their own routine, quirks, and comfort level. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just having someone nearby, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at. I’ll treat your pets with the same love, care, and attention I’d want for my own, while making sure you feel comfortable knowing they’re in good hands. 🐾❤️ I have a very flexible schedule! My husband and I operate our own dog poop scooping business, which allows me to have plenty of flexibility throughout the week. Outside of that, my schedule is generally open, so I’m available for walks, drop-ins, pet sitting, and plenty of quality time with your pets. 🐾 Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I’m attentive, patient, and will carefully follow any instructions you provide regarding feeding, medications, walks, routines, or special needs. I understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to make sure they feel comfortable and secure in my care. I’ll always be mindful of doors, gates, leashes, and surroundings, and I’ll keep you updated so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. 🐾
About: We know it can be nerve-racking to trust someone new with your pet. Jonathan and I care for pets together. Jonathan brings a calm presence, a second set of eyes, and dependable backup, while I bring more than 10 years of hands on professional animal care experience from shelters, dog daycare and boarding, zoos, and other animal care settings. I've worked with dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, personalities, and care needs, from puppies, kittens and seniors to pets needing medication or a little extra patience. My experience taught me how to read animal body language, notice subtle changes, handle pets safely, and follow detailed care instructions while keeping their normal routine as familiar as possible. We typically attend Meet & Greets and complete visits together, so your pet has a chance to get comfortable with both of us and you know exactly who will be caring for them. Whether your pet needs a walk, playtime, meals, medication, enrichment, or simply some company, we'll follow your preferences and get to know what makes them happiest. You'll get plenty of photos and a real update after every visit so you never have to wonder how they're doing. Our schedule is flexible, and we plan our bookings carefully, keep our Rover calendar current, and make sure we have enough time to give each pet our full attention. Unless we've agreed on a different arrangement with you beforehand, we typically complete our bookings together, which gives your pet two attentive caregivers and provides extra attention and safety during walks and visits. We also like to attend Meet & Greets together so you and your pet can get comfortable with both of us before the first visit. Before the first visit, we like to learn your pet’s routine, equipment, boundaries, preferences, and anything else that helps them feel comfortable and safe. Long instructions and little quirks are always welcome — you know your pet best. We double check doors, gates, collars, harnesses, and leashes, and make sure your home is secure before we leave. On walks, we stay aware of our surroundings, pay attention to your dog’s body language, and give unfamiliar people or animals plenty of space when needed. We never allow off leash time or interactions with other pets or people unless you’ve specifically approved it. We also understand that not every pet wants immediate attention from someone new. Shy or cautious pets are given the space and time they need to warm up at their own pace. Our goal is simple: follow your preferences, respect your pet’s comfort, and care for them as safely and thoughtfully as we would want someone to care for our own.
About: What sets me apart is the trust I've built with my clients. Many are repeat clients who feel comfortable leaving their pets in my care, even for vacations lasting over a month long. I'm reliable, highly responsive, and believe communication is key. I'll keep you updated with photos and messages while following your pet's routine to help them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. From tiny cats to large dogs, I treat every animal as if they were my own and every home with the utmost respect, so you can enjoy your time away with complete peace of mind. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide pets with plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship throughout the day rather than just quick check-ins. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping them company, I enjoy making sure each pet feels comfortable and cared for. As a pet owner myself, I understand the importance of consistency and sticking to your pet's normal routine. I always strive to make them feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I believe pets are happiest when they can stick to their normal routine. During overnight stays, I provide full care including feeding, fresh water, walks, potty breaks, playtime, cuddles, and any medications or special instructions if needed.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the patience and genuine care I have for every animal I meet. I’m gentle with pets of all ages, personalities, and abilities, and I’m never afraid to get down on the floor and take the time to earn their trust, especially with shy, nervous, senior, or special-needs pets. I’ve rescued and cared for animals in some pretty challenging situations, including dogs on the streets experiencing severe heat stroke and emergencies during Southeast Missouri’s extreme weather. I’ve also fostered kittens who were sick and needed extra care, patience, and nurturing before they were healthy enough to be adopted. I’ve always had a dog since the day I was born. I started raising my own dogs since I was about 9 years old, and I’ve been involved in house training, crate training, maintaining daily routines, and administering medications according to their prescribed instructions and labels. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions and making sure pets stay on their normal schedules while their owners are away. I’m also a clean freak, and I believe taking care of your home is part of taking care of your pets. I’ve personally experienced coming home to dirty litter boxes, pet vomit, stains, and messes that weren’t cleaned up after previous sitters. That’s something I never want a pet owner to experience. If your pet makes a mess, I clean it up. I’ll keep litter boxes maintained, clean up accidents, vomit, tracked-in dirt, and other everyday pet messes, and leave your home the way I found it, or better. To me, pet sitting isn’t just about making sure a pet is fed and let outside. It’s about making them feel safe, comfortable, loved, and understood while their person is away. I treat every pet as an individual and take the time to learn their routines, quirks, and what makes them feel most at home. Animals deserve the world in the short time we get with them, and I want to make sure I give them that. I recently relocated back home to Temecula from my college town in Missouri and currently have a very flexible schedule while I look for a part-time job. I’m a stay-at-home fiancé and pet mom to two dogs and two cats, so I’m already home caring for pets every day! My pets are all spayed/neutered, up to date on their vaccines, and social. I’m currently available throughout the day, with my only regular commitment being about two hours at the gym. This gives me plenty of flexibility to care for your pets and work around their routines. My dogs wake me up at 6am on the dot to go potty and eat breakfast, and at 5pm they are ready for dinner. I value my pets’ routines because without them, I wouldn’t have a routine myself I have a fully fenced backyard where my inside dogs are able to safely go outside throughout the day. I pay close attention to their behavior and cues-if they’re telling me they need to go out, I let them lead me to the backyard rather than making them wait. I have a 35-lb female Terrier/Lab mix and an 80-lb female Silver Lab. Both spayed and up-to-date on their shots. My Silver Lab is a gentle giant who was especially popular with the “littles” at doggy daycare, often spending time with the 10–25 lb dogs. She was also raised around my grandma’s Yorkies, so she’s very comfortable around smaller dogs. Your pet will always be treated like the VIP! I’ll make sure your pet gets priority during playtime and attention, even if that means taking the ball away from my own dog so your pup gets a turn!🎾
About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up in a home with several pets, primarily Golden Retrievers, and had the privilege of helping raise two litters of puppies. Those early experiences taught me the value of patience, consistency, and creating a loving environment where dogs can flourish. When I was sixteen, our family dog welcomed a litter of eleven puppies, and I was actively involved throughout her pregnancy, the delivery, and the puppies’ early development. One of those puppies became my soul dog, deepening my appreciation for the extraordinary bond between dogs and their families. Over the years, I’ve gained knowledge with caring for puppies, adult dogs, seniors, and pets recovering from surgery. Above all, I make it a priority to help every pet feel protected, nurtured and content while maintaining the routine they’re accustomed to. Whether we’re exploring a neighborhood trail, playing with their favorite toys, practicing positive reinforcement with owner-approved treats, or simply enjoying quiet cuddle time, I strive to make every pet feel like they’re spending time with a trusted friend—not just a sitter. Building trust is one of the most rewarding parts of pet sitting. Every dog deserves patience, kindness, and individualized attention, and I take the time to create a genuine connection with each one. My hope is that you’ll return home to a settled companion with the confidence that they were treated like a cherished member of my own family. I currently have open availability as I am working instacart and obtaining my Yoga teacher training certification. If you need someone reliable and loving to take care of your fur baby, I will be there! I understand that every pet and every family has unique routines and preferences. My priority is to provide care that aligns with your pet’s normal schedule so they feel safe and loved while you’re away. Whether you need drop-in visits, walks, or overnight care, I’m happy to accommodate your needs. I’ll treat your home with the same respect I would my own by keeping it clean, tidy, and secure. My goal is for you to return to a happy pet and a home that’s just as you left it.

About: I’ve been an animal lover since I was a child, I was always taking care of family friends pets, neighbors, etc, overnight or just stopping by to make sure they are safe and happy. I am a Tattoo Artist here in Temecula and I make my own schedule! I am free to check in on your pets whether it’s the middle of the day or middle of the of the night I had a fenced yard and a park right behind my house, lots of ways to get energy out. My household does have three friendly cats, one which grew up with dogs and loves to play!
About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 10 years and genuinely treat every pet as if they were my own. I also live on a farm where I care for a variety of animals, which has given me hands-on experience understanding different personalities, temperaments, behaviors, and individual care needs. I know that no two animals are the same, and I take the time to understand what makes each one feel safe and comfortable. In addition to my hands-on animal experience, I have a background in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and knowledge of behavioral principles that I apply when working with dogs, including positive reinforcement, consistency, recognizing behavioral cues, and encouraging appropriate behaviors. I’m comfortable with different personalities and energy levels, as well as puppies and dogs who may need additional patience, structure, or reassurance. I understand how important it is to completely trust the person caring for your pet. Whether your pet loves walks and playtime or prefers cuddles and a quiet companion, I’ll provide care based on their individual personality and routine—not a one-size-fits-all approach. I’m also happy to reinforce training routines you already use at home and carefully follow instructions for feeding, medications, exercise, and daily care. Most importantly, I want your pet to feel safe, loved, and at home while you’re away, and I’ll keep you connected with regular updates and photos for extra peace of mind. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I understand that every pet has their own routine, so I do my best to accommodate their normal feeding, walking, potty, playtime, and bedtime schedules. I’m available for both weekday and weekend care and will communicate clearly with you regarding scheduling and your pet’s needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my priority. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, triggers, feeding schedule, medications, and any special instructions before their stay. I provide a clean, comfortable and supervised environment with plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and downtime. I never assume two pets have the same needs and will always follow the care instructions you provide. I also believe communication builds trust, so you can expect regular updates and photos while your pet is in my care.

“I am absolutely and completely impressed by the kind, genuine care and attention that Edgar and his wife shared with my lil guy Zion. The communication was very clear and consistent, that was so good. We are very grateful for them and recommend them 💯! We hope to be able to have them watch Zion again soon. Truly felt like he was with family. Thank you.”
“Caddy was LOVED and so well taken care of. Malissa was amazing! Great communicator, cuddled and loved on my dog and walked her and gave her all the attention in the world. My dog is spoiled! And she did not want to come home when we picked her up. I was hesitant booking with multiple dogs and was happy to find that Malissa took 1-2 dogs at a time. It was only caddy this time and she had a little puppy. Good to know my dog behaved and I will book her over and over in the future. Malissa offers multiple services so anything you need, she can do!”

Stephanie sent photos so we could see how Katie was doing. Gave us peace of mind.”

“I had no doubts that May would deliver! My boys were comfortable and happy at all times and they even made a new friend, her dog Teddy. May made it imperative that she had all the details to properly care for my dogs prior to and during drop off. My eldest has leg issues and is a senior. She made sure that his handicaps were well attended to. All in all, I am very satisfied. Will hire her again in the near future.”
“Melissa took great care of our sweet boy over a long weekend away. She was competent with all his special meals and meds, making sure he had everything he needed for a comfortable stay.

She had everything in order and all the fur friends got along perfectly great.

She enjoyed herself and I look forward to having Nicole sitter again. Thank you so much. You made a beautiful magical wedding for me. Bella will miss you until the next time!!!”
