“Lisa is the best..I was nervous at first leaving my four legged child behind while I took a business trip but Lisa alleviated all my concerns and extremely communicative..Fozzie absolutely loved playing with her fur babies Eva and Ozzie..highly recommend her.”

“I hate to be honest here. For fear that Kate and Ken will not be available when we need them in the future. They were so attentive to Tripp. Their dogs and our dog played so much. I received pictures and videos daily showing the smile on his face. We don’t have a yard as big as theirs. Or other dogs for him to play with. So this was a real treat for him. They understand our dog’s communication style. Let him be a dog. Play like a puppy. But also balanced it with the guidance and directions he is used to. Both Ken and Kelly were exactly what we hoped for when we signed up for care. We drove 40 minutes to drop him off and pick him up. Both my husband and I believe it is worth it. Previously Tripp had been boarded at a kennel. I started using Rover in hopes that he would get more interaction with dogs and humans while we were gone. Boy! Did Ken and Kelly do that! Thank you for loving him like one of your family!”

“Haley was amazing! Our dog had a great time and came home calm and happy. Haley had great communication and sent so many wonderful pictures and videos. We felt very comfortable with the experience and would not hesitate to leave our baby with her again 😊”

“I loved all the updates and photos I received! He was more than accommodating and did a wonderful job taking care of my kitten! I will definitely be using him in the future!”

“Samantha and Jesse took very good care of Buddy. This was his first time being away from us for a few days. We will definitely use their services again. Also enjoyed the pictures they sent.”

“Sierra was amazing ! She took good care of Cody and he was happy when I picked him up. I could tell that he felt very comfortable with her and her family. I would definitely use her again in the future and would recommend her for any service.❤️❤️🐾🐾”

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and currently care for my own pets, including a Great Dane, so I’m very comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities. I understand that every pet has different needs, whether that’s high energy playtime, slow walks for senior dogs, sticking to feeding and medication schedules, or simply giving them extra attention and comfort while their owners are away. I pride myself on being reliable, patient, and attentive to details so pet parents can feel confident their pets are safe, loved, and well cared for. I’m also comfortable with basic puppy routines, reinforcing good habits, and providing calm, gentle care for anxious or older pets. My goal is always to make pets feel as comfortable and at home as possible. I currently work full-time Monday through Friday from 7:30 AM–4:30 PM, but I do have an hour lunch break each day. For pets local to the Jefferson City area, I’m often available during lunch for potty breaks, walks, feeding, medication, check-ins, or just some extra love and attention during the day. Outside of work hours, I’m available mornings, evenings, and weekends for walks, drop-ins, and overnight care depending on availability. I always do my best to keep pets on their normal routine and make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my top priority. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets, and I do my best to make both pets and owners feel comfortable, informed, and at ease. I’m happy to provide updates, photos, and communication throughout each stay or visit. 🏡 Boarding your pet: I do have two friendly and playful dogs of my own — a Great Dane and a Goldendoodle — along with 3 cats that mostly keep to themselves. Because of this, I always like to make sure personalities and temperaments are a good fit for everyone’s safety and comfort. I also completely understand that not every pet is comfortable around other animals, and that’s okay! I have a partially finished basement that allows pets to be safely separated if needed while still being comfortable and cared for. My goal is always to create a safe, low-stress environment where your pet feels at home. 🐾 Pet sitting and drop-in visits in your home: I know many pets feel most comfortable in their own environment, so I do my best to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. Whether it’s feeding, potty breaks, playtime, medications, or simply providing companionship, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, cared for, and loved while you’re away. 🚶♀️ Dog walks: Safety is always my biggest priority during walks. I pay close attention to leash security, surroundings, weather conditions, and your dog’s comfort level to make sure they have a safe, enjoyable, and enriching walk every tim
About: I have been taking care of animals since I was a child. I am currently in college to become a certified veterinary technician. I have veterinary medicine training and can spot health problems right away. I have administered medicine and given medication orally. I have open availability through out the week when I work so your furry friends will always have someone at home to take care of there needs. I have a small fenced in part of my yard. No animal is left unattended and is always safe in my care. I always go out of my way to make my home feel like there own.
“Highly recommended, Naee went above and beyond for our fur-baby Star. We will definitely be coming back to her again when we need the help ? Thanks so much for taking great care of our ⭐️”

“We left our two dogs with Daniel while we went out of town for three nights and loved the daily pictures and updates that we got. Would absolutely recommend Daniel to anybody!”
About: I can't remember a time in my life when I didn't have a dog. I currently have a very loving Great Pyrenees. I lost my Cocker Spaniel last summer so I have room in my heart and home to help people out when they want to travel. I understand the delimma of owning a dog and getting away so rest assured, help is here! I have a beautiful hobby farm and your dog will enjoy sniffing around with my big girl, Bonnie! I am retired and have lots of hobbies that keep me home most of the time. Your dog won't ever be left alone for more than 2-3 hours at a given time. I am new to Rover but I have often cared for friends and family pets in my home. I am in a very rural area and my yard isn't fenced. But maybe, on a busy day, one car passes my house. I wouldn't let a dog unfamiliar with me or my home run lose, but rest assured, there is no where for them to go here. Your dog will be happy and well cared for in my home.
About: Hi dog owners! I have several years of experience taking care of dogs. I have two back home that I love and miss dearly. I know they require our special care and attention and I hope I can help be of service to you and your fur babies when needed. I work full time Monday-Friday but I’m home every night. I’m usually around on weekends for any pet sitting needs. Please reach out for any potential bookings or questions you may have. I currently live in a pet-free environment, no smoking, etc. I do have a few littles every other weekend so getting along with kiddos is a must on those weekends.

Cat caregivers near you - Argyle

About: I have had pets my entire life, primarily cats as well as a few dogs. I currently have a dog and cat, so taking care of either is second nature. I have also had two cats at one time and understand the nature of multi-cat households. I have pet sat many times for friends and family. These include homes with multiple dogs, multiple cats, a mix, and even a snake. Reptiles and rodents don't bother me! These experiences have also included long-term stay (1 week+) and animals with additional care needs (senior, diabetic with necessary insulin injections at meals). I am currently in vet tech school so I know what to look for to keep your pets safe! I also have experience volunteering in shelters with many animals of different temperaments.
“jennifer did an amazing job with dropping in on miso while we were away for the holiday! she sent us plenty pictures and updates on him. we’re glad to know he was in great hands. we will definitely be booking her again when we have the chance.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Argyle
About: Hello! I’m Angela. A bit about me: I grew up in South America surrounded by animals. My first German Shepherd, Joe, and my small dog, Lulu, taught me early the importance of love, care, and respect for pets. I saw my parents prepare their food and give them attention, showing me that animals are part of the family and deserve compassion, understanding, and affection. From a young age, I learned that animals act according to their environment and training. I remember a neighbor’s dog jumping toward me once—he only defended himself. Experiences like this taught me patience, empathy, and how to read a pet’s signals to ensure they feel safe and loved. Throughout my life, I have cared for a variety of breeds and sizes. These experiences have deepened my understanding of different temperaments and needs. In my home, pets enjoy a fully fenced one-acre backyard where they can run freely, a doggy door for access in and out, full access to the house, and orthopedic beds for resting. I do not use kennels, allowing them to feel at home. The space is kept clean and fresh at all times, with water always available. I provide companionship, exercise, and mental stimulation so pets are happy and healthy while their owners are away. I love pampering animals and preparing healthy treats approved by their owners. I make homemade snacks, including collagen, chicken feet, and beef bones with vegetables, all 100% natural. After my German Shepherd Joe passed away due to a serious illness, I began preparing natural meals combined with dry food for Jack, my current Shepherd. I have seen remarkable improvements in his health, coat, and well-being, ensuring a long, happy, and vibrant life. Animals are never “just pets”; they are family. I put myself fully to provide a safe, loving environment full of attention, play, and care, giving owners peace of mind knowing their pets are happy, healthy, and loved. Thank you for visiting my profile, I hope to hear from you soon and look forward to meeting your precious animals! Pet care is an important part of my daily routine. I provide meals, exercise, and playtime, supervise pets closely, and ensure they feel safe and loved. I also take time each day to explore new ways for pets to enjoy their environment, keeping them mentally and physically stimulated. Weekly, I clean living areas, check on health needs, and communicate with pet parents to ensure their pets are happy, healthy, and thriving in a secure, caring environment. I provide a safe, loving environment for pets, with a fully fenced one-acre backyard for play. I supervise closely, follow feeding instructions, and use gentle handling. Pets feel happy, secure, and cared for, while I keep owners updated so they trust their furry friends are in good hands.
“She took us at the last minute and our dogs came home very happy! She genuinely cared about our girls and you can tell her own dog is as happy as can be and loves to play. Definitely will be using her again!”

“This was our first time using Rover. I'm so glad we chose Samantha and Jesse to take care of Buddy Bear while we were at our son's Senior Day. They sent pictures and communicated when necessary. Scheduling and pick up and drop off were a breeze. I'd definitely recommend them if you are looking for someone in the Jefferson City area. Thanks Samantha and Jesse!”

About: I grew up in a family where animals weren’t just pets—they were part of our daily life and the heartbeat of our home. Over the years, we cared for everything from cats and dogs to horses, cattle, and chickens. There has never been a moment in my life without at least one dog or cat by my side. That lifelong connection turned into a genuine passion for animal care. Because of that, I’m working toward opening my own boarding facility—one that will not only care for family pets, but will also take in strays and rescues who need a safe place to land. Using this app is my first step in that journey. I’m here to: build meaningful relationships with pets and their owners gain hands-on experience with a variety of animals and personalities earn supplemental income to invest directly into the boarding and rescue facility establish a future client base built on trust, reliability, and genuine care Your pets will be treated like they’re part of my family—because caring for animals is something I’ve done my entire life, and something I take pride in doing well. Pet care is a major part of my everyday life. I recently left my full-time job so I could dedicate myself fully to working with animals and building my future boarding and rescue facility. That means I’m able to structure my days entirely around pet care — not squeeze it in between shifts or treat it like a side task. Every week, my schedule is centered on drop-ins, walks, feedings, playtime, and enrichment. I set aside dedicated time each day specifically for pet visits, check-ins, updates, and keeping each pet’s routine consistent. Because this is my full focus now, I’m able to be flexible, reliable, and fully present with every animal I care for. Whether it’s a single visit or multiple pets throughout the week, your pet becomes part of my daily rhythm — and they’ll always get calm, attentive, and consistent care. How I Care for Pets in My Home and in Clients’ Homes My goal is always to keep pets safe, comfortable, and on the same routine they’re used to. Whether I’m caring for your pets in your home or mine, I make sure they get calm, consistent attention and all the essentials they need. In Your Home: When I’m caring for pets in their own environment, I follow your instructions exactly so their routine stays steady. Here’s what you can expect: • Fresh food and water on your preferred schedule • Clean litter boxes or outdoor potty breaks • Daily enrichment, playtime, and companionship • Respect for your home, your space, and your pet’s boundaries • Clear communication and photo updates every visit • Extra patience for shy, anxious, or rescue pets • Medication or special care needs handled as instructed I make sure everything stays clean, calm, and familiar — which helps pets feel secure while you’re away. In My Home (if applicable): In my home, pets get a safe, supervised environment with plenty of love and structure. They receive: • A quiet, calm space to relax • Regular feeding times and fresh water • Enrichment toys, cozy bedding, and comfortable hangout spots • Supervised play and attention based on their personality • Respect for crate routines or safe spaces if they prefer them I keep their environment low-stress and easy to settle into. Overall Care Approach: No matter where your pet is staying, I treat them like one of my own — with patience, consistency, and the kind of care that prioritizes their comfort and happiness. I tailor my approach to each pet’s personality, energy level, and needs so they feel understood and well cared for.
About: I have been taking care of animals since I was a child. I am currently in college to become a certified veterinary technician. I have veterinary medicine training and can spot health problems right away. I have administered medicine and given medication orally. I have open availability through out the week when I work so your furry friends will always have someone at home to take care of there needs. I have a small fenced in part of my yard. No animal is left unattended and is always safe in my care. I always go out of my way to make my home feel like there own.
About: I've always loved animals ever since I was a little girl. Since the age of 9 I've been around all kinds of animals besides dogs and cats. Like birds and reptiles that kinda thing. When I do pet sit for someone I usually try to see what the dogs or cats favorite toy or treat is. Then would go and buy a little goody bag for them, just to tell them that there a good girl or a good boy! Besides watching your pets I try to make sure to tidy up your house and to make sure it's nice before you come home. I'm also a quick learner and would help if your animal needs a certain kind of medicine or treatment. I have some experience with that already but I love to learn new things! I'm currently only working weekends part time. It's just not enough for me and since I love animals why not be a pet sitter or just your everyday dog walker. I try my very best to get to know your pet as much as possible. More like I'll treat your pet like how I treat my own. For an example if they have allergies I'll make a quick note and make sure that I don't give them anything there not supposed to have.
About: Note: I love cats and offer cat sitting as well as dog sitting! I'm happy to stay at your house or visit your kitty while you're away. At this time, we can not board your cat at our home. Thank you! **We try our hardest to keep our calendar up to date so be sure to make sure we are available the week/day your pup needs a vacay** My wife and I both love dogs! We have one miniature Dachshund who is our spoiled little baby! We both work 5 min from home and have a very flexible schedule so we come home several times a day to check on our pup and walk her so your dog is sure to get LOTS of love and attention as well as plenty of outside play time. We do prefer to keep only medium and small dogs. This is for both your pup's safety and comfort as well as ours. We understand how difficult it is to leave your fur-baby but we want to make it a little easier on both you and your baby! From daily pictures sent directly to you assuring you that your dog is having a blast on their own vacay to video chats with your pet via Skype or FaceTime so your baby can hear your voice and you can see them running around and playing! We live in a town home in Regent Park and have a huge grassy common area behind our house for your pup to play in! We just installed a fence and some fresh sod in our backyard so your pup is sure to enjoy being outside with us on top of their walks! We also have several trails that we like to walk and would love for your dog to join us (if you are ok with it and your dog enjoys sunset walks :) My wife is home most days and I work only five minutes from the house so we are available all day day to spend quality time with your fur baby! I have a fenced in yard and lots of extra space for your pups crate/bed so they can be sure to feel right at home.
About: I have had pets my entire life and leaving them for longer than I'm used to is so hard. I've been with dogs that are hours old and I've been with dogs in their final moments. I do work 8.5 hour shifts 3-4 days a week. So while I couldnt care for them while I am at work before/after and and on my days off I am more than available. I require a meet and greet for new clients just so I know where all of thier stuff is and so the pets meet me with thier owners for the first time and it is less stressful. I can crate animals take them for walks, take them out in the backyard. Anything to burn energy before being left home alone again.
About: I’ve spent my whole life—28 wonderful years—loving, learning, and caring for dogs of all kinds, from tiny Chihuahuas to gentle Saint Bernards! I adore all animals (cats included 🐾) and know how important your pet’s happiness and comfort are. I’d be honored to care for your furry family member like my own. ❤️ I'm a mom to two amazing toddlers. Caring for animals is something I truly love, and I can’t wait to spend time with your furry friend—whether that’s walks, playtime, or overnight care. My schedule is flexible if your pet is kid-friendly and can get along with my cockapoo. Every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. For example, I once cared for a miniature schnauzer who needed lots of love and attention. When I had to leave the house, he felt safest in his kennel, so I made sure he had his favorite toy, something that smelled like me, and a small treat to help ease his anxiety. I fully understand that each pet requires different care, and I am more than happy to accommodate your dog’s individual needs to ensure they feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for at all times. 🐾💛

About: I have been a veterinary assistant at Lake Pet Hospital for 2+ years. There, I assist veterinarians with many tasks including x-rays, toenail trims, filling prescriptions, and giving medications. I'm currently a full time college student, but that is my only commitment other than your pets! I am available most evenings but am also willing to make early mornings work! My many years of experience as a veterinary assistant and kennel technician give me peace of mind that taking care of your furry friend will be a breeze and a blast!
“Jennifer was great with Merle! She was available right away when I found out I needed a dog walker and responded within minutes. She was literally there within an hour. I really appreciate her being accommodating and taking my furbaby for a walk on such short notice. He had a great time and she sent me cute pictures of him on campus :)”
About: I was raised with lots of puppies and other animals. I have two fur babies now, Oakley and Remi! I would love to visit your babies and keep them company while you are away from them. I work full time but have a couple days off a week on a rotating schedule. I am willing to travel and make our schedules work together as best as possible. Leaving your pets is very difficult but I would love to be able to help ease your worries! I am responsible and trustworthy. You would not have to worry about the job not getting done.
