“Matt and Angel did a wonderful job taking care of our dogs! They sent daily updates/pictures and clearly cared about making sure our pets were happy and well looked after. We felt completely at ease knowing our dogs were in such great hands. We will definitely be using them again and highly recommend their services to anyone looking for trustworthy and loving pet sitters!”

“Brock and Rachelle were very nice and easy to work with! The location in Rover/Apple Maps doesn’t show correctly, so I recommend using Google Maps to navigate :)”

“Alicen and Michael graciously accepted a very short notice, first time booking. They were so great with my boys and I couldn’t be more more happy with my first time using Rover.”

About: I have over 5 years of pet-sitting experience and have had dogs my entire life, giving me extensive hands-on experience caring for dogs of various breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. What sets me apart is my commitment to providing personalized care and maintaining each pet's normal routine so they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. In addition to pet sitting, I occasionally volunteer at a puppy nursery that cares for rescued mother dogs and their newborn puppies. This experience has given me additional exposure to caring for young puppies, monitoring their needs, and helping provide a safe and nurturing environment during an important stage of their development. I am comfortable caring for multiple pets, administering basic medications if needed, and providing extra patience and attention to puppies, senior pets, and animals with specific routines. Whether a pet enjoys long walks, playtime, or simply having companionship throughout the day, I adapt my care to meet their individual needs. I understand that every pet is unique, and I strive to provide reliable, attentive care while keeping owners updated with messages and photos for peace of mind. I am currently taking online classes over the summer, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to be available throughout the day for walks, drop-in visits, pet sitting, and overnight care. My priority is always providing a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment for pets. I live on 12 acres in a quiet setting and have one small, very friendly Cocker Spaniel. While my yard is not fenced, pets are always supervised outdoors and can be kept on long leads for safe exercise and exploration when appropriate. I never allow pets off-leash unless specifically instructed by the owner and it is safe to do so. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow their established routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special instructions. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship while keeping their environment clean and secure. I understand that trust is important when someone is caring for a beloved pet, so I maintain open communication and provide regular updates and photos. I also pay close attention to each pet's behavior and needs to ensure they are happy, comfortable, and well cared for throughout my time with them.
“Sadie did a great job with my doggo. Lots of picture updates of her getting love and cuddles. She also has 2 other friendly dogs that make good play partners. I’d recommend her to anyone needing a good place for their dog to go!”

“Amanda and Franky did great with my puppy stella. Stella is VERY playful and loves attention and she did great! I was nervous leaving stella with someone new, but Amanda made sure to check in with me over the weekend and let me know that she was ok and included pictures! I know Stella had an amazing time cause she slept for a whole day when she got home haha! thanks again!”

“Catlyn was great with Pugsley, sent plenty of updates and pics and made she was familiar with his routine when we arrived. We highly recommend her and will definitely engage her again!”

“Stephanie takes such wonderful care of Mooncake, and I'm so grateful! He absolutely loves spending time at her home and can never get enough of playing with Auggie and his other friends. Stephanie sends sweet updates throughout the day, and it’s always clear that Mooncake is having the time of his life.”

“If you are looking for a warm, caring stay for you pet Laura is your girl. We where in Columbia Mo for softball crazy three days not knowing when we are playing. Laura was so accommodating.”
About: Hello there! I'm thrilled to introduce myself as a passionate animal caretaker ready to pamper your beloved pets. Ever since I was a child, caring for animals has been second nature to me. With two cats and a dog of my own who thrive in a bustling pet-friendly environment, I understand the importance of finding a caregiver who can provide love, attention, and companionship to furry family members. With flexible availability, I'm here to cater to your pet's needs with dog walking and drop-in visits tailored to your schedule. As a parent of two, I bring patience, responsibility, and empathy to my care, ensuring your pets' happiness and well-being. I'm equipped to handle any dietary or medical needs, providing peace of mind while you're away. Let's make your pet's experience one they'll cherish! With my weekday afternoons available and weekends open, I am able to offer flexible pet care designed to fit smoothly into your daily and weekly plans. I prioritize pets' comfort and well-being. With personalized attention, walks, playtime, and sticking to routines, I ensure they feel loved and secure during their stay.
“Dani and Skye were very good with our dog. They worked to make sure Jenny was accepted by their own cat and dog. We booked them again since they did such a great job the first time.”

“Haley was an outstanding host and our pup had the best time! She even made the dogs a Thanksgiving meal (dog-friendly of course) for the holiday. This truly was a 5-star experience.”

“Mindy was very helpful by coming to visit Scooter ahead of time, a couple weeks before he went to stay with her. They made a connection right away, as she seems to have a way with dogs. She sent pictures of Scooter while he stayed with her, which was reassuring. And she offered to bring him back to our house after we returned home, which was very helpful.”

“Nicole is amazing—she’s incredibly kind and gentle. During our greeting before the first overnight stay, she gave both dogs plenty of time to get to know each other. Nicole has trained Cora very well, and at the first meeting she carefully observed the interaction between the dogs and rewarded them appropriately. She’s a Rover with a lot of experience in dog training. She also shared lots of photos with me!”

About: I love all dogs. They bring me great joy and I love being able to give them a safe and loving environment while you’re unable to be with them. I love being able to keep their schedule and environment as comfortable as possible to cause them the least amount of stress while you are away. I currently work full-time in a flexible position which allows me to offer your pet the best care possible at the times they need it most. I am happy to come by for mid day play and potty breaks during my normal work day. I love being able to care for your pet in their own space to keep them as happy and as comfortable as possible. I think animals thrive best when their entire world isn’t uprooted when you have to travel for work or fun. I am happy to learn their normal routine so they can continue living their best life while you are 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: We’ve had pets for the last 13 years. My family and I have raised two English Springer Spaniels and currently have a 7 month Irish Setter puppy. I also have experience working with cats. I am a high school counselor, so I’m currently off for the summer until mid August. I would love to work part time during the school year I have a large backyard where dogs can play and unwind. We have a 7 month Irish Setter who loves to play with other dogs.
“Jennifer did a great job caring for our fur babies! She is very responsive and provides lots of pictures so you can see your pets while you’re away. We will definitely reach out to her again in the future!”

“Haley, I thank you and your family for welcoming Molly for a safe, fun day while I was away! Haley’s home doggie daycare was a wonderful experience for my dog. Haley provides a comfortable home environment, a great backyard, lots of playtime and interaction with other dogs and members of her family. Thanks again!”

“Alicen is the best gift for my dog. In the past, my dog has not had good experiences with some dogs but Alicen knows how to introduce dogs and also bring a calm confidence to the environment. I am so grateful to have found her. My pup came home happy and calm too.”


“Great experience! Shannon and her husband are great and are obviously pet lovers! We have a nervous doggie and Shannon sent pics and updates. Will totally request them again!”

“Catlyn was fantastic. My sometimes nervous dog seemed comfortable because of how Catlyn eased her into the new environment. Kallie took her time to sniff everything in the house and yard but Catlyn’s easy attitude let Kallie feel comfortable exploring. Her dogs were sweet and Catlyn takes care to be sure all the dogs are getting along or if she needs to separate them. Her yard and home are lovely and she is too. I would recommend Catlyn as a great choice.”

“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!!”

“Best walker I’ve had yet! Actually took my dog to a nice trail instead of just walking around the neighborhood, and sent plenty of pictures that showed she was clearly elated! I can tell she has a true love for dogs :)”
About: I have four years of experience working in a veterinary clinic, where I gained hands-on knowledge in animal care, health, and behavior. I also have four dogs of my own, so caring for pets is truly second nature to me. I’m confident administering medications if needed, and I always treat every animal as if they were my own—with patience, love, and attention to detail. I have four dogs and three cats of my own, each with a set feeding routine and potty schedule that I follow daily. Caring for animals has always been a big part of my life! My mother owns a grooming business just down the road, so I’ve grown up around professional pet care and often help out there as needed. I’ve also worked in a veterinary clinic, where I gained hands-on experience with animal health and daily care. In addition, I help manage our family farm operation with cattle and horses at my grandparents’ place. Taking care of animals is something I do every single day—and something I truly love! I live on about three peaceful acres along a quiet gravel road, with a small fenced-in area in the backyard and a large open front yard for plenty of room to play. I have two friendly large dogs who stay outdoors to help keep the property safe, and two smaller indoor dogs who love to keep our guests company. All of my dogs are very social and gentle with new friends! If your pup prefers to stay on leash, I’m happy to offer leash walks for their comfort and safety. My animals follow a consistent morning and evening routine, and I have crates available if that’s part of your dog’s normal setup. My cats are also friendly and loving, and there are several cozy dog beds throughout the house for your pet to relax on. At night, the dogs sleep in the bedroom—so your furry kiddo is more than welcome to snuggle right in! My home is calm and quiet (no children), and I’m typically home every day by 3 p.m. or earlier. On most days, I don’t leave until around 9 a.m.—and often, I’m home all day giving your pets the love and attention they deserve.

About: I bring a unique level of experience to pet care thanks to running an in-home daycare, where I’m used to managing busy environments, sticking to routines, and giving constant, attentive care. This naturally translates into how I care for pets—I’m patient, organized, and always aware of safety. I have experience with dogs of all ages, including puppies who need structure, consistency, and help with basic training like potty routines and leash manners. I’m also comfortable caring for senior dogs who may need a slower pace, medication, or extra attention and gentleness. What sets me apart is my ability to handle multiple pets calmly while still making each one feel individually cared for. I pay close attention to behavior, energy levels, and body language, which helps me quickly adjust to each dog’s needs—whether that’s high-energy playtime, calm companionship, or extra reassurance in a new environment. I’m very detail-oriented and follow instructions exactly, so you can trust that your pet’s routine, diet, and any special care needs will be respected. I also prioritize communication and will keep you updated with messages and photos so you feel completely at ease while you’re away. Above all, I treat every pet like part of the family—safe, loved, and well cared for. I have a very open schedule this summer as I do not work in the summer time. My daughters will be with me, but they are A+ helpers! I provide attentive, reliable, and personalized care for every pet as if they were my own. In my home, pets are kept in a safe, clean, and comfortable environment with plenty of supervision, affection, and structured routines. I make sure they have regular potty breaks, fresh water at all times, and feeding schedules that match what they’re used to at home. I also incorporate playtime, enrichment, and rest so they feel relaxed and happy during their stay. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine to reduce stress. I follow all instructions closely—whether that’s feeding, medications, walks, or specific care needs—and make sure your pet feels secure in their familiar space. I’m respectful of your home and provide updates, photos, and communication so you always know how your pet is doing. I have experience caring for multiple pets at once and understand the importance of safety, patience, and consistency. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, or needs a little extra attention, I adjust my care to fit their personality and needs.
About: I have owned and taken care of many dog breeds. I have experience with more timid pets and outgoing. Focusing on their specific needs to make sure they feel loved. Basic grooming/bathing, walking, feeding, agility, and playtime! I am a full-time college student in Columbia MO. I offer pet sitting/house sitting, dog walking, drop-in visits, and basic training. Availability M-F: 10am-9pm Sat/Sun: flexible I am most comfortable in clients homes, as that is where your pets are at best. Depending on clients needs I am able to do scheduled walks or potty breaks (if yard is fenced) as well as feeding and playtime in your home.
“Gabriella was the best dog sitter I could have asked for. I was nervous to leave my Goobert with a new person after I was already gone for 2 weeks prior, but she made Goobert feel so comfortable from the first meeting. She also continued to give me updates along with photos every day. I am highly satisfied with the care Gabriella provided for my baby.”
