“I do not have enough words to say how incredible Jessica was with my anxious corgi, Nugget! She was so attentive to his command words, what makes him nervous/comfortable and she even thought of things I hadn’t considered to make him feel comfortable there. She most definitely treated him like her own and he absolutely adores her! (And he is not fond of many people) she was wonderful about sending updates and keeping us connected while we were away. My sweet little boy absolutely loves her and we will be coming back soon!”
“Star was awesome with my fur baby Riley!!!…she kept me updated on how he was doing and sent me PLENTY of pictures and videos. My baby is like family to me and Star treated him like family also. I would definitely recommend her services she is AWESOME!! I definitely will be using her again.”
“Laura was awesome with my 2 dogs - Sadie & Bella. She sent lots of photos and my dogs had a fun-filled 7 nights & 8 days. Laura was caring and enthusiastic. Her children helped to make Sadie & Bella feel like one of the family. I can highly recommend Laura for all your pet needs.”
About: I’ve dog sat for family members on multiple occasions. The dogs seen in my photographs are family dogs that have stayed in my home. I will adhere to the preference of pet owners on if the pets can interact with other pets. I work full-time as a remote employee for Royal Canin. I’m actively provided breaks, lunches, and planned time that I could take out and feed pets. While my residence is unfenced, the neighborhood is very safe within a small town. The pets will be free to move about inside of the home and I can accommodate if they need to be on a leash even in the backyard.
“Eric and Morgan were very accommodating in taking our request last minute and having flexible pickup/drop off times. They also sent a daily check in and pictures as well, which was very much appreciated!”
“I was so grateful to find Simone over the holidays, and even more relieved to learn she had already met my dog through her previous sitter (who was her sister). Such a small world! Simone and her family are wonderful, loving, and clearly experienced with dogs. I felt confident knowing my pup was in great hands, and she had an excellent time. Highly recommend!”
“Amy did a great job watching Milo. She sent multiple pictures and news each day, and obviously loves animals. She was a lot of fun and my fog was happy. I was recovering from arm surgery, and she even bouggg new food when my dog ran out, allowing me to tepay her later. 5 stars!!!”
“Our dog Dobby just finished her first tryout stay with Daniela. It seems like she had a good time and there weren't any big problems. Daniela kept us in the loop and sent lots of pics during the days. Dobby seems pretty happy with her stay, so we are as well. We will definitely be getting in touch with Daniela again for further dog watching.”
“Absolutely wonderful! Our cat Moose had her first big trip outside our home since we’ve adopted her. She was very nervous yet curious about the new change for the day, but she did great with the massive help of Jennifer. Jennifer was very accommodating and helpful - she sent updates throughout the day with photos and messages of Moose’s day! I would greatly recommend Jennifer, especially for first timers who are unsure about their cat staying somewhere other than their own home.”

About: Hi! My name is Nikki and I’ve lived with dogs and cats since I was a toddler. I always loved helping my parents and grandma with our many pets while growing up, but it wasn’t until I graduated high school that I decided to start expanding to pet-sitting for my friends as well! I was always happy to spend time with and gain knowledge from their furry friends. Two years after high school, I adopted a sweet husky puppy. He was just 8 weeks old when I took him home and I quickly realized raising a puppy is A LOT of work (but worth it!!). After a long journey of trial and error and 4 training classes together, he’s the best friend I could ask for. Three years later my dad rescued 3 more husky puppies, who I also helped raise! They have definitely taught me patience, how to deal with a semi-reactive dogs, and has made me confident in my ability to care for large breeds. I’ve looked after a variety of breeds, big and small, timid and reactive. I’m experienced in handling high energy dogs, young puppies who are still learning, and older dogs who need extra care and patience. I’ve also looked after cats, including those that needed help with medications and asthma treatment. Whether your pets like to walk and play or just need someone to hangout with while you’re gone, I can do it all. I will care for your beloved pets in your home and follow all your wants and needs! I’m currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to play with your pets! I’m currently available any time Wednesday-Friday and on most Saturdays. I like to know all the details about your pets every day life so I can help keep their routines as normal as possible. Whether that includes certain times for feeding, walking, medications, etc. I also like to know if they are reactive, timid, or have any other quirks you want me to know about!
“Karlee was outstanding! I felt at ease knowing that my kitty would be cared for by her when I was away. She was so patient and thoughtful with my kitty. She communicated any questions and gave me detailed updates on what my cat was up to. Thanks so much Karlee! :)”
“Kaylee was so wonderful with our senior cat, Holly! Holly already misses her. ☺️ We knew she would be the perfect fit at the meet-and-greet when shy Holly came out from under the bed to eat treats from Kaylee's hand. Kaylee is very kind and patient with animals. Holly was given playtime, brushing, and treats daily along with her dry food and prescription wet food. Kaylee sent photos and videos every single day at the end each pet-sitting check-in. Her communication was consistent and excellent, allowing us to truly relax when we were on vacation. It gave us reassurance knowing that Kaylee was enjoying her time with our cat and that Holly warmed up to her so quickly. When we got home, we couldn't believe how clean everything looked! Kaylee also brought in our mail and followed all of our instructions for Holly. We will definitely hire Kaylee again without hesitation! She truly has a heart for cats and other animals, and for people too!”
“Sterling went above and beyond during a particularly difficult situation with one of our cats. His patience, kindness, and professionalism were exceptional, and he continued to prioritize our pet's well-being throughout the experience. We were impressed by his calm demeanor and dedication, and we're so thankful for the care he provided. We highly recommend him.”
“Nick did an amazing job watching my dogs while I was away. He is very knowledgeable about taking care of dogs and that out my mind at ease when I was out of town. When I came home, my dogs and cat were completely calm as if I had only been gone for a few minutes instead of a few days.”
“Jessica did an excellent job taking care of our two cats. She gave daily updates and photos which I loved. She was so kind to bring in a couple packages for us and even swept the kitchen floors. Definitely recommend Jessica and use her again.”
“Having a total care senior dog can be extremely stressful when planning a trip out of town. My dogs used to be road trip champs but unfortunately due to old age and one handicap, they have to stay behind. From the moment Mason came for a meet and greet both dogs greeted him and were calm and happy in their presence. Masons confidence and willingness to care for my total care senior dog was a relief. I was able to go out of town for 5 days with a peace of mind knowing that they were not only well taken care of but happy as well. I highly recommend him for all your doggie needs.”
About: I’ve had pets since i can remember. There’s never been a time in my life i haven’t had a cat or dog! As I got older, I began shaping a better life for myself, for them! I’m just trying to give my dog the yard she deserves 🫶🏻 I’m between jobs right now so my schedule is yours! I’m excited to take time and do things i enjoy, including caring for pets 🐶🐱 I have a fenced backyard and two pups who are the sweetest little fur balls ever. I have three cats who live like kings (and queens) inside, who stay out of the dogs way and watch from their perch as the doggos do their things. I never want my animals to feel bored so i keep an abundance of perches, toys, beds, and even the television for them to access all day.
“Amy was amazing with our 2 cats. From the first meet and greet, the cats were very interested in her and wanted her attention. She was very kind and sweet and gave me a great feeling while knowing the kitties would be well taken care of while we are gone. She sent updates and pictures which was appreciated. I will book with Amy again for all of our trips 🙂🙂🙂”

“We love taking Belle to Melissa. We feel she is safe with her and her family. I’m so happy I found Melissa and Belle has a great relationship. Belle moved from a different part of Illinois where she was the neighborhood dog and everyone’s friend. Melissa’s service has eased our minds and we are greatly appreciative. Thank you Melissa!”

About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs my whole life—at least five of my own since childhood! I’ve learned how to understand their personalities and needs, and even trained my current dog to be calm and social. My home is cozy, welcoming, and set up for a dog’s comfort and routine. I provide the same love, structure, and attention to every pup I watch, making sure they feel safe, happy, and right at home while you’re away.

I love starting the day with a morning walk and taking another in the evening to wind down. I’m also available on weekends with at least a week’s notice—perfect for when you need a reliable sitter for your pup. In my home, dogs are treated like family. I have a friendly pup who loves making new friends and keeping other dogs company. There’s a cozy space where pets can relax, nap, or be crated if they need their own quiet time. My fenced yard gives them plenty of room for potty breaks and playtime in a safe environment. If I’m caring for your dog in your home, I’ll follow their normal routines to help them feel secure and loved while you’re away. Whether at your place or mine, I focus on creating a peaceful, happy experience for every pup.
“Chico, my elderly Chihuahua, went to doggie daycare with Amy in Columbia for a couple of hours while I met friends for lunch. Amy has such a wonderful way with animals; you can tell she really loves watching them. She took lots of photos, have Chico lots of attention and even had a pet guestbook for him to sign. Such a cute idea. If you ever need a pet sitter, I highly recommend Amy.”

They will receive professional care, love, attention and affection. This is my full time job, if you can call it that. It's a blessing.

So, your babies will get plenty of quality attention and companionship. My home is pet friendly and all safety precautions have been implemented. Your companions will be kept separate from my own for the safety of both parties. I am also comfortable and experienced taking care of special needs pets that might require medications to be administered or other accommodations. I now have a bedroom designated for cats.

About: I am a work from home RN which allows me to be present with your babies and give them all the snuggles, treats, walks and play time they could want.

I can provide frequent potty breaks, play time and walks. We live on a peaceful 1.3-acre property and are one of only three houses on a long, quiet dead-end street with virtually no traffic. We have a massive backyard surrounded by nature with endless room for pups to run and play! A quick note on safety: While our large yard is unfenced, your dog's safety is our absolute top priority.

As the proud owner of two dogs myself, I completely understand the anxiety of leaving your furry family members. I treat every guest like my own and promise to keep your babies safe, happy, and loved in your absence!

About: Having grown up in a family that had five dogs at once, I've gained extensive experience in pet care. It has taught me the importance of patience and love when it comes to looking after our furry friends, young and old. Additionally, I've often helped out friends by letting their dogs out and spending time with them when needed. These experiences have helped to ensure that every dog in my care feels loved and well-cared for. I am currently working part-time this summer, but I can be sure to find time to help you out and make your fur baby’s day! I will make sure your dog is fed, walked, and given plenty of love and attention! If they need special care, such as dietary, mobility, emotional, senior dog care, etc. I will be happy to help!
About: For years my neighbors have relied on me to take care of their four dogs when they are away for weekend trips or even for trips that last over 2 months. Each one had their own personality and I was able to adapt to it and get along with them well. Over the years I have also had my own pets and have taken care of others. I have taken care of animals from cats, snakes, guinea pigs and most of all dogs. I am patient and contempt with taking care of dogs. In all, I've had a lot of experience with animals! I adore animals all the like and have had the best experiences taking care of lovely pets. I'm a part time worker but that's only on the weekends as I have night school. That leaves me plenty of time in the day during the week and weekends to check on your fur babies. I will be able to drop in later at night at around 9:30-11 p.m. If ever in emergencies, I have a fenced yard that is very very roomy for a dog who loves to run around and play outside. I am more than happy to drop into the clients home and even help clean and pick up after the place for comfortable living for their fur baby. I don't make messes and will no matter what pick up after myself. I will always address to the client in emergencies.

About: I first began pet sitting and dog walking around six years ago. For three years I had been taking care of my neighbors' pets, including dogs and cats. I have worked for a company for pet sitting back in 2022! This included multiple appointments throughout the day of thirty-minute stays and walks. This makes me very familiar with this type of job already! For pet sitting I would go to the house in the morning, middle of the day, and in the evening. Therefore, I would feed them and give them their medication if needed. For dog walking I would go at the requested time of the client and take their dog on a nice thirty-minute walk. I have been doing rover for about 2 years now and I have a ton of experience to offer! I am a student but only have classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I just got hired at 7brew but will definitely be able to work around my schedule to take care of your furry friend! I have two dogs of my own, a German Shepard and a rescue mutt. I always make sure to do my part in taking care of them and give them as much love as I can! For a client, I make sure to provide extra care and love because even if it is just a short time taking care of them I want to be able to bond with them and make them feel well cared for!

About: I can do it all from big breeds, to small breeds; from happy breeds, to sad breeds. I’ve also got experience in tending to aggressive animals or animals who react out of fear so don’t worry! Growing up, I had an aggressive pup who people refused to come around and it made things hard on me, I want to give ALL pet parents a chance to feel safe knowing their aggressive or reactive dog is in good hands. I know the do’s and the don’t’s! Animals are a passion and if I could have every animal in the world, I would! Give me a shot to take care of your baby and you won’t regret it! I’m an active duty military member, but I work in a 24hr shop so my schedule shifts a lot. However, that is no issue for me as long as I have a heads up from my clients! I will work with them to create a schedule that best suits both me and the animals! Your animal is now a priority of mine(: I have a 6” vinyl privacy fence with a very large backyard. I have 3 dogs of my own and can accommodate some animals in my home. However, I will need to have your animals formally meet mine before making that decision so that we don’t put anyone in harms way. I will also request an updated shot record for any animals entering my home and will provide you with the same(:
“Sterling was polite, professional and a blessing to all of us (pups included) as I recovered from surgery and could not walk my babies. Always prompt, we received timely communication throughout his period of service. We will definitely request Sterling again. My girls will miss him!”
“I cannot recommend Matthew enough for his exceptional care and attention to detail when it comes to taking care of furry friends. Knowing that your beloved pet is being looked after with such love and care allows you to enjoy your time away without worry. I loved the pics provided and updates. He really made him feel loved and part of his family while dropping in.”

“I do not have enough words to say how incredible Jessica was with my anxious corgi, Nugget! She was so attentive to his command words, what makes him nervous/comfortable and she even thought of things I hadn’t considered to make him feel comfortable there. She most definitely treated him like her own and he absolutely adores her! (And he is not fond of many people) she was wonderful about sending updates and keeping us connected while we were away. My sweet little boy absolutely loves her and we will be coming back soon!”
“Laura was awesome with my 2 dogs - Sadie & Bella. She sent lots of photos and my dogs had a fun-filled 7 nights & 8 days. Laura was caring and enthusiastic. Her children helped to make Sadie & Bella feel like one of the family. I can highly recommend Laura for all your pet needs.”
About: I’ve dog sat for family members on multiple occasions. The dogs seen in my photographs are family dogs that have stayed in my home. I will adhere to the preference of pet owners on if the pets can interact with other pets. I work full-time as a remote employee for Royal Canin. I’m actively provided breaks, lunches, and planned time that I could take out and feed pets. While my residence is unfenced, the neighborhood is very safe within a small town. The pets will be free to move about inside of the home and I can accommodate if they need to be on a leash even in the backyard.
“Eric and Morgan were very accommodating in taking our request last minute and having flexible pickup/drop off times. They also sent a daily check in and pictures as well, which was very much appreciated!”
“I was so grateful to find Simone over the holidays, and even more relieved to learn she had already met my dog through her previous sitter (who was her sister). Such a small world! Simone and her family are wonderful, loving, and clearly experienced with dogs. I felt confident knowing my pup was in great hands, and she had an excellent time. Highly recommend!”
“Amy did a great job watching Milo. She sent multiple pictures and news each day, and obviously loves animals. She was a lot of fun and my fog was happy. I was recovering from arm surgery, and she even bouggg new food when my dog ran out, allowing me to tepay her later. 5 stars!!!”

“We couldn’t have been more pleased with Christina’s care of our dog, Fern! Just an overall great experience! Fern had so much fun she didn’t want to come home. We were gone for two weeks, so the pictures that were sent every day were very much appreciated. Christina and her husband have a fantastic approach and clearly a deep love of dogs. We will definitely be coming back.”
“Sarah was very accommodating for a last-minute booking for an overnight stay. She even helped with some food. Izzy was so exhausted last evening, even into the next morning, from playing with other dogs. I tired dog is a good dog!”
