Personalized care for your dog or cat - Armstrong

About: I ran a prison dog rescue and training program. We rehabilitated dogs from puppy mills, rescue groups and shelters. We also did grooming services for the dogs. I'm retired. My schedule is wide open. I have time to devote to taking care of customers pets. I have always had a affinity for taking care of animals. I live in a Townhouse in a nice area with plenty of green space. I enjoy walking dogs who come to my house or walking them from their house.

“Mary did a great job for us today. The couple we usually use to board our boy, Dobby, was unavailable to help us today. Mary stepped up and took great care of Dobby. She picked him up and dropped him off for us. Wonderful service. Dobby seemed to enjoy his time being boarded with Mary. We will use Mary again, as we may need.”

“Brock and Rashelle provided exceptional care for my beloved fur baby. Their kindness and affection truly shone through, making my pet feel right at home. He had a wonderful time playing with their pup, and I appreciated the daily walks and outdoor playtime they ensured he had. I also loved receiving regular updates and photos, which brought me peace of mind while I was away. Highly recommend their services!”

“Everything worked out wonderfully about this stay. Amanda was very responsive, everything went as planned, and she and Java seem to have had a great chemistry from the very beginning. After a 3 days of camping trip, the dog seems happy, healthy and tired (which is a good thing!), and the owner is definitely happy... and tired too. Thanks, Amanda, for the peace of mind!”

“Dani did a fantastic job with our pup Winnie! Our original sitter cancelled on the day of our trip and Dani saved the day for us! We had good communication and pictures while we gone and Winnie came back a happy and tired dog. Wi highly recommend Dani and we would use her again without hesitation.”

“Franklin had a good time with Cat & her family. He has mild separation anxiety and I was very happy to see how well he settled in via the pictures Cat provided. He was treated like a member of the family. Couldn’t be happier. Definitely will be a repeat customer!”

“Haley has taken wonderful care of our pup twice now and we love how we can trust her enough to not think about our dog 24/7 on vacation! She’s responsive and updates daily. Our dog always has a great time.”

Sadie P.

“Our 8 month old puppy Ollie stayed with Morgan while we were out of town for 5 days. It was Ollie's first time boarding somewhere and we could not have chosen anyone better! Morgan sent us multiple photos while we were gone and asked us questions when needed. Her little dog Finn was the cutest and is super easy going and friendly. We were so glad we chose Morgan and Finn, and will definitely choose them again if we need to board Ollie in the future.”

About: I have grown up around and loved pets since I was 7 years old! Many parts of my childhood I grew up with 5 dogs, but we just recently got our first cat. My partner is also an animal lover and grew up with multiple pets his entire life (his mom is a veterinarian!). We now have a 6 month old dachshund, Clover, and a cat, Stella Dallas! We are students so we have really relaxed schedules, and spend a lot of our time working from home. We live in a house that has a large privacy fence with a perfect sized backyard. We joined Rover to share our love with your animals! 🥰🐾 My partner and I are both students and I work a remote job. We spend a lot of our time not in class at home with our animals! I have a fenced in yard with a privacy fence. My dog Clover will keep your dog company as she loves to play with all of her cousins! Clover is crate trained so I have experience with that, but I don’t mind if your dog is not! I spend a lot of my time at home so your pup or cat will always be getting attention and the love they deserve while you’re away! :)

“Julie was wonderful, she accommodated me for a last minute booking and the boys had a great time with her. She had never administered an insulin shot before but was comfortable learning how to and was great about communicating. Would definitely book again, thank you so much!”

About: Having 3 dogs of my own, I know how nerve wrecking it can be to leave your fur-baby with someone so i would love to give you the peace of mind that your pet is in good hands. I have been around animals, big and small, for as long as i can remember and love spending time with them. I am a stay at home mom so my hours are extremely flexible. i spend most of my time outside with my dogs enjoying the weather. I live on 130 acres and have a huge fenced in yard. our property has several trails that i love to take my dogs for walks on. there is plenty of space to stretch out and play.

“Lindsey has been a fantastic, reliable caretaker for my senior cat when I am traveling!”

About: I lived with cats my whole life. I have delt with indoor and outdoor cats. I love them so much. I have taken care of my family cats for years, and now on a daily.

“Jennifer did a great job watching my cat while I was on vacation! I would highly recommend her and house was clean and flowers watered when I returned. No issues.”

“Lucas was such a wonderful find for our sweet pair of cats! My husband and I are helicopter parents about our babies who have very specific and different needs including our boy cat who needs to be medicated and is a very picky eater. Lucas sent us very frequent updates on the state of our cat's appetite and how things were going. In the past, we have come home to find our cat has either lost weight or has liquid medication smeared on his fur from medication difficulties. When we came home our boy cat looked the best he's ever looked after such a long stay with a house sitter. We can tell our cats felt very at home and comfortable with Lucas. The house looks great, very clean and exactly how we left it. All and all, among the best rover experiences we've had! Great communication, healthy happy pets, a clean home, what more could we ask for?”

Chelsea A.

“Jasmine was amazing with my Precious. She kept me informed, arrived as expected, and spent so much time caring for my cat. She went beyond expectations on every visit. 100% the best sitter.”

Phillip S.

“Haley was excellent! She was very flexible with our ever evolving schedule. Haley is professional and a true asset. Most importantly, Charley seemed to have a great time!”

Debra F.

“Shannon was very patient and accommodating while we tried to figure out if we would need her or not. And I'm confident our little Lily was in good hands with her. Had a very positive, easy experience...highly recommend Shannon!”

“Louie gets so excited to go to Catlyn's and play all day. He is tired when I pick him up and they say a tired dog is a happy dog. Thanks Catlyn!”

Kristine S.

“Kelly treated my dog so well, walks and lots of play time in the backyard. She is kind and caring and creates a nurturing environment for animals.”

“Jennifer and James were such a God-send when Spenser and I were getting married last week!! Our wedding venue allowed for our doggie to be present at the ceremony (she walked the aisle in a flower collar and pearl leash :)!) but not reception, and so we needed not only a dog sitter but one who would be willing to pick up our girl from the wedding venue! James was happy to do it, showed up right on time, and our Chewie happily went with! They sent us cute pics of our babygirl relaxing on their couch and playing in their backyard during the wedding reception. It really put us at ease. We've never had to turn to Rover for dog sitting, usually we have family do it (obviously not an option when the whole family and friend-crew is at the wedding), but now that we know how amazing James and Jennifer are, we are forever grateful and liable to ask for their help again! Thanks SO much!!”

“Very Sweet and the pups felt right at home!”

About: My family has had cats ever since I was 12, I also rescued a goldendoodle 8 years ago and he has been my best friend ever since. I love all types of animals, and have experience with rabbits, horses, guinea pigs, and hamsters as well. I have been pet sitting and dog walking as a vet student for over a year now. I am a veterinary student in my clinical rotation years. I live in a duplex, meaning I have my own house with no roommates. It is a 2 bedroom, 1 bath. I can pet sit from your house if you have multiple pets and are gone for days or pet sit from my own place if you have just a cat or a smaller dog. I live in a duplex at the moment by myself without any pets, but I pet sit for friends a lot, driving over to their places to let the dogs out/walk them, feed the cats/dogs/fish and clean the litter boxes, make sure the water bowls are filled, etc.

About: I love animals. I have been watching both cats and dogs for years. Anything from Long walks, simple feeds or just quality time that they love. I been animal sitting for years and have worked it as a side job off and on. Open schedule being at home almost everyday. I can take care of the fur babies anytime. who wouldn’t wanna spend time with the cute animals. Clients home I try to respect what the animal is used to. If a client tells me they can’t go upstairs, no upstairs. I’m not one to disrespect or mess up peoples homes. I try to just spend the whole time with the animals. In my home I care for many animals with different schedules and let them have space but also give them the attention all animals need. They are like our babies and I think animals need loved.

“Lucas is awesome! Always are fav when we go out of town.”

Emily M.

“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: Hi there! My name is Sofia and I am a medical student at Mizzou Med and would LOVE to walk your dog! I have been caring for my dog for 11 years and before that I watched friends’ dogs for long periods of time. If you couldn’t tell, I absolutely LOVE all dogs. Dogs hold a very special place in my heart, and I am an extremely trustworthy person to leave your 4-legged family member with! I understand the importance of finding a walker/ sitter you can trust as I do not trust just anyone to take care of my own pup, and I will do an excellent job of keeping your baby safe and happy. I would be so happy to walk, feed, and play with your dog! I will adjust my schedule to whatever your pet requires! I am very enthusiastic about taking care of dogs, so your pup will be my number 1 priority. The main thing I care about is NEVER leaving your dog unattended!! I am super responsible and I would never want anything to happen to your dog under my watch. I am also very energetic and love playing with dogs, so your dog will never be bored.

“we are so thankful to Kaila for agreeing to watch our pups at the last minute, and on a holiday too! She took great care of them, sent pictures and updates, and was very easy to get a hold of if we needed anything!”

“Abby did a wonderful job looking after my dog while I was away. Communication, professionalism, and kindness all above and beyond. I would highly recommend. Thanks.”
