Personalized care for your dog or cat - Maysville
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Maysville
“This was our first experience with the Rover app and Shannon taking care of Maggie. It could not have been a better experience! Shannon was great with communication and very timely. We had boarding arrangements elsewhere and they canceled at the last minute. Shannon was quick to reply to my inquiry and helped me navigate the Rover app. The "Meet & Greet" went very well with Maggie meeting Shannon's personal K-9 companions. Right from the start, we were very comfortable and confident that Shannon would take great care of Maggie. She was very personable and kept us informed during our travels with pics/updates. When arriving to pick her up, Maggie was happy & seemingly didn't care that we had returned. It was very obvious that Maggie was well cared for and SPOILED! We highly recommend Shannon and won't hesitate to use her again. (6+ 🌟)”
“We dont like leaving our boys so we were very hesitant. We are so glad we found heather. heather and her hus and are the sweetest. My boys seemed lile they enjoyed their stay. The communication between heather and i was phenominal. She sent me lots of pictures and updates about them! She is also extremly patient with animals. I could not be more thankful for finding heather! We will be booking with her in the future. I know i can trust my boys with her!”
“We had the most amazing experience with Corinna! ! From the very first meeting, my dog connected with her instantly — which says everything. She has such a calm, warm energy, and you can truly tell she loves what she does. Her home is incredibly welcoming and comfortable for pets — clean, cozy, and thoughtfully set up so they feel safe and relaxed. I had complete peace of mind knowing my dog was not only cared for, but genuinely loved while I was away. Budders made herself at home, instantly. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional pet care! Thank you Corinna! XO Budders”
About: My household has had dogs for the past 12 years. I have watched dogs for other families while they are away several times over the past 10 years. I work very well with energetic and stubborn breeds. Frequents walks. Almost always home. I am a stay at home mom of older children. I am almost always home, and will ensure a fun and yet peaceful environment. Thank you for your consideration. I do have a fenced in yard that is smaller, and live very close to a dog park if desired. I can seperate our dog on a lower level if there is ever any issues, or space is need.
“Jake did a wonderful job taking care of our dog, Sammy! She unexpectedly came down with diarrhea during her stay, but he handled the situation with patience, care, and great communication. He kept us updated, made sure she was comfortable, and even went the extra mile to help her feel better. It gave us peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands while we were away. We’re very grateful for the care he provided and would absolutely trust Jake to watch Sammy again. Highly recommend!”
“I highly recommend this couple. Emilie and Michael cared for our puppy while we were away and they did an amazing job. Good natured couple. Also their dog Lila is a gentle giant. She got along very well with our puppy. We will definitely use their services again. Five Stars.”
About: I have been a pet owner my entire life. I have taken my own dogs through obedience training and have raised them from puppy to adults. I love taking walks around the neighborhood and playing with them in the yard. I would love to love your dog as if it was my own! I typically go for morning and/or evenings walks most days of the week. I work approximately 5-6 hours outside the home but I am able to set my own schedule to accommodate any necessary bathroom breaks. I have a fenced in yard and two kids(10 and older) who also love playing and snuggling with dogs. I have quiet spaces in the house if your pet needs some quiet time to relax, otherwise they are welcome to roam the house with the humans.
“I can't say enough good things about Emily. I can leave town for a few days or just a few hours and I 100% can trust and feel relieved that I have someone that I trust to take care of my dog Momoa. Every time she continues to wow me and my dog enjoys his time with her as well. Highly recommend.”
“Mary is literally the best pup sitter. She takes such care of our pup like he is her own. You can tell her heart belongs to the dogs she sits for by how she takes care of them. You won't be sorry for choosing Mary.”
“Sierra was amazing! She has a lot of knowledge and love for critters! She sent us photos and videos of our Gus. He was so happy with Sierra. We will definitely be using her again.”
“Marissa was absolutely fantastic! From the very beginning, she was communicative, thoughtful, and clearly caring. She checked in regularly and sent the sweetest photos and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was obvious she truly loved and cared for Kona, and that means everything to me. Even better, it was clear that Kona loved her right back. There’s nothing more reassuring than knowing your dog feels safe and happy while you’re away. I’m honestly just sad she doesn’t live closer because we would book her every single time without hesitation. I can’t recommend Marissa enough!”
“Our pup just really took to Carol and had a great 2 days with her. She sent us pictures of him and let us know how he was doing through out his stay. We will definitely be using Carol again!”
About: Senior care experience! I've adopted multiple dogs at 10+ yrs old from the local pounds and made sure they had the best senior care experience possible. I currently have 2 dogs, both spayed and absolutely love other dogs. A Corgi (Ruby) who is 9 and a Maltipoo (Joplin) who will be 2 this year. The poo was adopted from a kill shelter in TX (and one before her from the same area as well). We've lost 4 dogs in 2 yrs due to old age, 3 within 6 months. Hard pill to swallow but I love them all and would LOVE to love yours too! I am a stay-at-home dog mom. I have all the time in the world to take care of your babies! Believe me when I say they will come home all tuckered out :) I have a fenced in back yard and 2 VERY friendly dogs to keep your pups very much entertained! In your home (if a dog sitter in home is required) you can expect all of their daily schedules to be fulfilled.
“Erica did an excellent job watching Maggie while I was away on a business trip. She provided daily updates and pictures that gave me peace of mind while traveling. It was clear Maggie was getting plenty of attention, walks, and playtime throughout the stay. I really appreciated Erica’s communication, reliability, and the care she showed. Would absolutely book again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive sitter.”

“This was our first time needing someone to house/pet sit. I was a bit nervous, but Andrew was confident at the meet and greet that everything would be just fine. He took wonderful care of our fur babies. He gave us updates. He sent us some wonderful pictures and a video of Lucy playing. He asked good questions. I was able to leave town for the first time in a while and enjoy myself knowing someone was going to be there. He did the expected chores morning and evening. He kept the house in great order. He had to do a little extra cleanup after one of the kitties had an accident. I would absolutely have Andrew stay and care for our cats again.”
“We're always thankful for Tia's help with our senior kitty when we have to be out of town. We know he's in good hands and that he will receive all his meds and lots of love, too.”
About: Cats are such special animals. Having two of my own and helping my neighbors when they’re away, I love the quirky personalities. I know the importance of respecting boundaries and giving them safe places to be themselves. Scheduled feedings, clean litter boxes and engaged play time, I will treat your fur baby as my own.
“Mandy was fantastic and took care of my two dogs very well. Kept them happy and in high spirits while I was gone. She played with them and gave them belly scratches. Great communication, and response times. Provided wonderful pictures every visit.”
About: Cats were a part of my household my whole childhood, and I love being in their company! I love kittens, and have experience with very young kits due to having rescued a few that were left to fend for themselves, but don’t mind a cat young or old!
“Jessica is absolutely amazing! She did drop in visits for our two cats. Jessica is very reliable and goes above and beyond what you ask her to do. We’ve already booked her for another stay. Can’t recommend her enough!”
About: I provide attentive and loving care to pets of all sizes, from small lap dogs to active breeds, as well as bunnies, cats and birds. As I work from home, your pet will receive consistent attention throughout the day, regular walks, playtime, and plenty of companionship. I take time to understand their needs so they feel secure and relaxed. Every pet in my care is treated as if they were my own. With my work from home environment I am able to deal with pets all times during the week. I do travel some weeks, in which I will not take on any pets. I am flexible on schedules. In the spring I will note I coach, and may be gone for 2-3 hours maximum on some nights if there is an overnight pet. This scheduling information will of be provided ahead of time to ensure you know exactly how your pet will be cared for. As I work from home your pet will be watched all day. Whether they choose to join me or relax elsewhere in the house is up to their preference. I do not have a kennel and am okay with pets being able to roam. I also want to break up my day so they will get walks every 2-4 hours if they would like. I also have a fenced yard that I can see from my office if they are wanting to spend more time outside. Personally I’ll probably be outside with them :)
“Courtney was amazing caring for Peanut. Peanut likes to hide when we are gone. We did show her his hiding spot. She was great at sending us pictures of him. And as time went on, he even came out of his hiding spot and rubbed up against her leg. So that was amazing!! She took excellent care of him and I would highly recommend her!”
“Amara was the best pick for my extended international trip. She went above and beyond watching my two cats. Watering my plants and bringing in my mail without even asking her to. She is clearly a cat lover and it put my mind at ease that they were getting the TLC they needed while I was away.”
About: I've had cats my whole life (22 years), so I've had my fair share of cleaning litter boxes, treats, play time, brushing, feeding, etc. I have 3 cats right now and 2 are on medicine (pill and insulin) so I also feel comfortable being able to administer medication to your cat! I love seeing different personalities and colorings in cats and Hi! I’m a dependable and patient pet sitter with a special soft spot for cats having grown up with them! I understand that every cat has their own personality — some are playful and social, while others prefer quiet company and their personal space. I take the time to make pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for at their own pace. I’m experienced with daily feeding routines, litter box cleaning, playtime, administering basic medications if needed, and giving plenty of attention (or space!) depending on what your cat prefers. 2 out of 3 of my personal cats is on medicine (pill and insulin) so I am no stranger to administering medicine. I also know how important consistency and a calm environment are for cats, especially while their owners are away. I’ll make sure you stay updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your cat is happy and well cared for. I will treat every pet like they’re my own and make their time away from you as stress-free as possible as I know I would want the same for my furry babies! I’d love to meet you and your cat!
“Kristen was amazing with our cats! We could tell from the pictures she sent, and also how relaxed they were when we got home, that they had been very comfortable with her and were very well cared for. She took care of every detail, cleaned up every mess they made, and communicated with us all along the way. Truly one of the best pet care experiences we've ever had!”
“Amanda was very reliable and great with communication. It’s always scary not knowing someone well and having them stay at your house with your pets and she over exceeded our expectations. We appreciate it! Will definitely keep her on our list for the future!!”

About: I have taken care of all kinds of cats at my job PetSuites. they had a cat daycare just as dog daycare and I would always fight to care for the cats when the time came to feed and spend time with them. I have not personally owned cats due to my fathers allergies but I have friends who own cats and I have always been the first they go to when they needed a sitter

Perfect for high energy dogs - Maysville
“Darcie really helped us out, accepting our last-minute booking for our Giant Schnauzer puppy, Iris, without hesitation! Iris undoubtedly had a great time, with access to lots of sunshine and outside play in the large fenced-in yard - just what she needs. We will definitely reach out to Darcie in the future!”
“Sherry was kind enough to watch our pup on Thanksgiving day so we could spend the day with my husband’s grandma at her assisted living center, which meant so much… thank you! Both her and her husband were incredibly kind and took great care of Geno for us <3”
“We are glad we found Joe while traveling thru Iowa. He took good care of my senior baby and even introduced her to his pups. I would certainly think of him again when traveling thru Davenport”
About: I’m Rochelle and my full time job is as the Assistant Director of a no-kill animal shelter. I work closely with professional trainers to identify the correct temperament of an animal, I am pet CPR certified, I have worked as a vet assistant, I have experience working with wildlife rehabbers, I have worked on a 200 acre farm in Tennessee caring for chickens, cows, ducks, and pigs, and I’m an animal lover at heart!

“We had a good first experience with Emilie as Poppy’s sitter. Poppy seemed to do well during her stay, and we appreciated receiving photo updates while we were away. Communication was smooth throughout, and we didn’t have any complaints. We would be more than comfortable booking with Emilie again in the future.”

“Allison was absolutely wonderful with our two dogs, a playful and high energy 5 year old pug and a very high needs senior. She is so loving with them, and is very patient and focused on our senior dog’s needs. We were totally confident that they were cared for so well all day. We are so grateful to have found her! Ellie and Jake loved their time with her and can’t wait to stay with her again.”
“Grant was a lifesaver for me and my puppies! As a busy night shift nurse I was not sleeping during the day so I could give my puppies attention. It all became too much so that’s when I decided to find a puppy daycare for them. I found Grant and he was open to watching them during the day for me so I can get some sleep! My 8month old puppy Cricket is a shy/ nervous girl and my 3 month old puppy Junebug is rambunctious and sassy. They both loved going to daycare and were thoroughly wore out after spending the day playing at Grant’s house!”

About: Hi! I'm Jenna. The "Me every time I see a dog. Do you share this reaction?" meme with Andy from Parks & Recreation is literally me every time I see a dog. I LOVE dogs, cats, sloths, sea otters and pretty much all animals in general. I have a huge heart and SO much love to give! I am very energetic, bubbly, and outgoing...I would love to meet some doggies (and maybe some humans in the process too) and give them some lovins' and exercise :) I work part time and my schedule is pretty flexible. I would love to walk your pups or play with them outside of my job. I am available for house sitting dogs and cats. I’m generally available in mornings or afternoons around 4 pm. Since I do work a variety of jobs I just need a days notice but I can usually work around your schedule for the most part! I have experience pet sitting in the home and have done jobs where pet parents are out of town for the weekends or for work trips and I am happy to watch the house as well. I have a kitty cat so I wouldn’t be able to fully board but I’m able to take your doggo on walks, to the park, to a patio, etc etc. I can watch the dog at my house in the backyard but wouldn’t be able to take them inside the home.
About: I have experience with all kinds of animals including: puppies, kittens, dogs, cats, senior cats and dogs. As well as hamsters, fish, hermit crabs, and farm animals.

“We really appreciated Emily's keeping us posted on how our dog Maggie was adjusting to a new environment. Emily and family were very loving and caring toward our dog Maggie.”
“Tiffany was great! We were traveling through Iowa and needed a place to leave Tommy for the afternoon so we could take a riverboat sightseeing tour. Due to poor planning on my part we had to find someone just a few days before our trip, but Tiffany responded to my request very quickly and was able to take him on short notice. She was so kind, and Tommy warmed up to her quickly. We really appreciated having a great place to take him for the afternoon!”
About: I did a lot of dog/cat sitting back when I was in college (8 years ago). I have some time off of work and would love nothing more than to fill my schedule with watching your pets. I have experience in caring for dogs, cats, chickens, and some reptiles. I am off of work for a couple of months, so my availability is wide open! 7 days a week, morning or night would work. I live on an acreage, so our 3 dogs are on a wireless gps collar system. If your dog/s were to come to my yard, they would need to be somewhat collar-trained. At your house, I can walk dogs, play with your dogs in your yard, and hang out with them inside the house. For cats, I can play with them inside, and give them lots of company.

About: I have worked in the veterinary field for over 10 years. Experience with cats and dogs. I am also comfortable medicating animals. Minimal experience with exotics. I work 2 jobs so I am available on for overnights on Saturdays. Most days during the week I can do a mid-day drop in for a potty break. I can follow any instructions given by the owner to keep their pet(s) safe. I will go outside with them and watch them in the yard.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid and have recently started to work with cats. I miss walking my dogs from home and would love to help take care of yours I’m currently a student, so although I have many classes during weekdays I have breaks in between as well as Friday through Sundays free. I always make time for my own walks and workouts but I’d love to do it with an animal! My medium sized dog uses a harness on his walks, but I have worked with all kinds of leashes before. We had our yard fenced in for play time but I have worked with dogs in parks and ungated areas.
About: Hi! My name is Amanda. I have worked in doggie daycare, worked as a bather and in the sales department! At work I got to experience different breeds, temperaments and personalities! My favorite part of my job is building strong relationships with the owners and their dogs! I also have experience dropping in homes while their owners are at work, school or out of town. When I do drop ins I have taken them on walks, picked up after them and fed them. I absolutely love working with all animals! I am known to have great communication skills, I am compassionate , and I am responsible. I pride myself in those traits and look forward to building a relationship with you and your family member! I do have a full time job working with adults with intellectual disabilities. Mon-Fri I do work from 730am-4pm. I am still available during the weekends and can also do house sitting during the days that I work! I will follow their daily routine and make them as comfortable as possible while you are away. While walking them I will keep distance from other animals to ensure their safety. I will also follow all dietary needs and feeding schedules.
About: I’ve been around many dogs since I was little. Even viscous ones. But no type of dog scares me. Having a cane corso for about 4-5 years got me to be aware of any type of pets. Being around cats doesn’t worry me. Just as long as I pay attention to signs on what to and not to do. I’m currently trying to raise money for a trip to go meet some family I’ve never met. I’ve had this app for months and haven’t had a single client. Please help me reach my goal I work full time with kids and I love pet sitting for one of my friends. But usually after work I love to be around lovely pets. I will walk your dog personally. To be honest, letting a dog out in a yard doesn’t seem like they have much freedom. Taking them on an adventure is the way to do it so they have options. Treat them the way you would want to be treated is my motto.
About: Pet uncle of three chihuahuas but love dogs of all sizes, and cats as well I have cared for pets of family and friends for many years. Love to spend time with animals.

I bring a gentle, caring approach to make sure your pup feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away.

About: I am open to most pets. Cats, Dogs, Horses, Calves, Lambs, Guinea Pigs, Turtles, etc..... If extra special care or out of state, I do charge travel fees. I do have experience with older pets and young ones. I have been known to raise Opossums from the size of mice to adults. If that gives you an idea! I am open to new proposals and willing to negotiate new situations! (Unencountered situations when it comes to pets) I also House-sit, plants, pets etc... I do travel out of state to Illinois (Mostly the North suburbs of Chicago) and Wisconsin. This is where I have done house-sitting. Pets and Plants can be included in this care. I do add travel expenses, mainly for gas, when traveling for house sitting. I get up in the morning and get my coffee going and then tend to pets that are around. They get fed first thing, inside and outside. Feral cats seem to be present in the morning. Litter boxes are checked. Water Bowls. Mostly I go to people's homes and care for the pets at their houses, but I have had people bring them to me. I have an extra room set up in my barn if there are anxieties or stress with animals and they need a quiet place. I am in the process of updating that room a little more. It is heated for the winter months. I do have hand brushes and combs for extra attention and I do go talk to whoever is around. If dogs come, they can be walked. Although I live in a small town, I am close to nice places to walk on the edge of town.
About: I have had multiple dogs ranging from black labs to Saint Bernards! I have done dog walking here and there for over ten years. I am also a mom to an almost two year old (human) and I am very responsible. I’m currently not working and I am a student. Due to scheduling with my child’s other parent I am available every other weekend and Tuesday-Wed. Besides time with my child’s and class, I am free to care for your pet! I am very responsible with animals and professional in other peoples homes. I have house sat, cared for pets, and babysat without any issues within the home. I am happy to provide a safe and fun environment for your pet in your home.
About: I have had dogs and loved them my entire life. I grew up with Rottweilers and St Benards so the big ones definitely have my heart. I currently have two Border Collie X Australian Shepherd mixes that are incredibly friendly and smart. I started my pet professional career out in 2012 as a kennel technician at the Clinton Humane Society. I have worked for two different vet clinics as a vet technician giving medications, doing ivs, doing wound care, and being apart of surgery staff. I do some special handling dog training for anxious and semi aggressive dogs. My passion for special handling dogs started when I trained as a pet stylist. I got hands on experience helping stressed dogs relax and make situations better for them. I currently work in the Quad Cities as a pet stylist, working with both dogs and cats. I am very familiar and comfortable working with all kinds of animals be it furry, scaley or feathery. I do animal care for individual animals and also for hobby farms with chickens, ducks, goats, llamas and sheep. I am a very particular person when it comes to my own animals' care. Being very detailed oriented and handling your pets care is important to me. I think they deserve their care to be attentive and comfortable. Animals are not only something I am very passionate about but what I have revolved my life around. My days start around 5-5:30am. I typically take the dogs for a walk and have an hour to give them a bathroom break. I work as a pet stylist from 7-3:30. I can give bathroom breaks on my lunch break as needed. I keep all dogs leashed when outside to guarantee their safety. I have a fenced in back/side yard where I monitor dogs so they can be off leash if they are able to be trusted. I never leave pets unattended. I can kennel dogs to keep separate if needed. I am also trained in animal first aid. I deep clean and sanitize everything frequently.

“This was our first experience with the Rover app and Shannon taking care of Maggie. It could not have been a better experience! Shannon was great with communication and very timely. We had boarding arrangements elsewhere and they canceled at the last minute. Shannon was quick to reply to my inquiry and helped me navigate the Rover app. The "Meet & Greet" went very well with Maggie meeting Shannon's personal K-9 companions. Right from the start, we were very comfortable and confident that Shannon would take great care of Maggie. She was very personable and kept us informed during our travels with pics/updates. When arriving to pick her up, Maggie was happy & seemingly didn't care that we had returned. It was very obvious that Maggie was well cared for and SPOILED! We highly recommend Shannon and won't hesitate to use her again. (6+ 🌟)”

About: My household has had dogs for the past 12 years. I have watched dogs for other families while they are away several times over the past 10 years. I work very well with energetic and stubborn breeds. Frequents walks. Almost always home. I am a stay at home mom of older children. I am almost always home, and will ensure a fun and yet peaceful environment. Thank you for your consideration. I do have a fenced in yard that is smaller, and live very close to a dog park if desired. I can seperate our dog on a lower level if there is ever any issues, or space is need.
“Jake did a wonderful job taking care of our dog, Sammy! She unexpectedly came down with diarrhea during her stay, but he handled the situation with patience, care, and great communication. He kept us updated, made sure she was comfortable, and even went the extra mile to help her feel better. It gave us peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands while we were away. We’re very grateful for the care he provided and would absolutely trust Jake to watch Sammy again. Highly recommend!”
“I highly recommend this couple. Emilie and Michael cared for our puppy while we were away and they did an amazing job. Good natured couple. Also their dog Lila is a gentle giant. She got along very well with our puppy. We will definitely use their services again. Five Stars.”
About: I have been a pet owner my entire life. I have taken my own dogs through obedience training and have raised them from puppy to adults. I love taking walks around the neighborhood and playing with them in the yard. I would love to love your dog as if it was my own! I typically go for morning and/or evenings walks most days of the week. I work approximately 5-6 hours outside the home but I am able to set my own schedule to accommodate any necessary bathroom breaks. I have a fenced in yard and two kids(10 and older) who also love playing and snuggling with dogs. I have quiet spaces in the house if your pet needs some quiet time to relax, otherwise they are welcome to roam the house with the humans.
“Mary is literally the best pup sitter. She takes such care of our pup like he is her own. You can tell her heart belongs to the dogs she sits for by how she takes care of them. You won't be sorry for choosing Mary.”
“Sierra was amazing! She has a lot of knowledge and love for critters! She sent us photos and videos of our Gus. He was so happy with Sierra. We will definitely be using her again.”
“Erica did an excellent job watching Maggie while I was away on a business trip. She provided daily updates and pictures that gave me peace of mind while traveling. It was clear Maggie was getting plenty of attention, walks, and playtime throughout the stay. I really appreciated Erica’s communication, reliability, and the care she showed. Would absolutely book again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive sitter.”
“Nyjeah W. Took good care of my Schnoodle Dog Hosanna and my cat Shylynn she was very responsive with updates, very reliable. I would recommend her if you need someone to watch your loving pets she's the best.”
“Joe was really great with my dog who has separation anxiety. He took the time to let her get comfortable and trust him. He also checked in throughout, which gave us peace of mind!”
“I was really impressed with the way Taylor made arrangements so quickly after another sitter canceled a week before. The dogs were well taken care of, cage free, fenced in back yard, and they even had a playmate. Several pictures daily. I felt really comfortable. I was starting to Miss them, The last day. Very good communication, compassion and care all around.”
“Cathleen was more than we could have asked for. She took the time to meet us beforehand, to get to know us and our dog. She sent us pictures and updates throughout Sammy's visit. She met us at the drop-off and pick up to chat. We highly recommend her….”
“Dillon took amazing care of my boy! His home is clean, pet-friendly, and a great spot for doggy stay-overs. Monte felt comfortable right away exploring every part of his house and meeting Shadow, which put me at ease. I got updates with photos, and it was clear Monte was having a great time and was well cared for. When I picked him up, he was all smiles and full of good energy. Dillon followed Monte’s complex feeding schedule and made sure he got plenty of outdoor time. (and ear rubs) He truly treats every dog like his own. I highly recommend Dillon if you're looking for a great place for your fur baby to stay! I’ll definitely be booking with him again.”
