She also picked up our mail for us and the place was clean and tidy when we arrived home. Would highly recommend!”
“Misti took care of my two cats twice a day for two weeks. She did everything I asked and sent extra notes and pics at each visit. She is a great communicator! Misti even got my shy cat, Paris, into a great routine early on and was able to pet her by the end of the two weeks. I called Misti the cat whisperer for her ability to win Paris over. The house was perfect and cats were happy when we returned home. I will definitely call upon Misti for pet care in the future!”
“Theresa was awesome! She was super friendly, took notes at our first meeting and gave detailed updates on our cat. When he briefly stopped using the litterbox, not only was she willing to take him to a vet if needed, she actually offered to make an extra drop-in to let us know if he was okay. (Turns out he was fine, thank goodness) Leaving a pet behind to travel is always tough, but it's easier when you know they're in such great hands. Thank you Theresa!”
About: I have grown up having various pets, but mostly dogs my entire life. I have a love for all types of dogs and pets in general. I have a dog that I have raised since he was a puppy. I have trained him to do multiple tricks and to obley not only me, but anyone who tells him a command. I have dog sat for many friends and family members when they have been away. I do mot have a lot or Rover experice, but the dogs that i have met through here have made a lasting impression on me and I cannot wait to meet more! I currently have a home with three small dogs that get along great with others. Myvprefrace would be going on walks with dogs after work .
“Thank you Keesha for doing all you could to keep my kitty stress free while we were gone. And for all the updates which kept me stress free ?.”
“Great first session with Laurie. You really went out of your way to win my dear girls heart by bringing her a box and trying to engage with her! Thank you so much. Hope you found the $20 cash I left for you. You did a great job for us.”
“Jessica is such a wonderful person! We are going to be away from our cats for a month while in Europe and Jessica's presence has made the distance so much easier! She's very responsive and has been excellent at completing the daily task and connecting with our cats!”
About: I have watched many of my friends and neighbors cats in my life. I also had a cat growing up as well as 2 of my own. I had a disabled cat for almost 4 years who recently passed away so I decided to rescue a kitten who needed hernia surgery. Long story short I love any cat!!! I’d be lucky to be able to hang out with yours :)
“Jackson took great care of my two cats while I was away. He sent me daily updates on how the cats were doing and made sure to take time to play with them. I'm happy to have found someone like Jackson whom I can trust to take care of my cats again in the future! I highly recommend booking Jackson for your pet needs.”
“Kyle was great. Ella is an insulin dependent diabetic and he reliably made visits to time her dosing appropriately. He was also available on short notice which really helped me out. Many thanks Kyle!”
About: What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give every pet. I know that trusting someone with your furry family member is a big decision, so I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m patient, dependable, and committed to following your pet’s routine so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. This is my only job at the moment so I am very flexible. Soon, though I may do some substitute teaching but that is a nice job too because it’s also very flexible. I care for every pet according to their individual routine and needs. I’ll make sure they have fresh food and water, regular potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and plenty of affection. I pay close attention to their behavior and comfort, and I’ll follow any specific instructions you provide, including medications, feeding schedules, or other special care.

“James was amazing with Nikko, he care for him 5 days a week for 2 weeks while I was at work, he would send updates with pictures throughout the day which I appreciated. Definitely will book James again.”
About: I’ve had dogs from a young age. Staying with me, they will get attention, love, play time and cuddles. They will also get to play with my dog Lexi. I work from home full time so I’m always here. I’m able to go outside and play with your pups or give them extra attention. I have a fenced in yard with locks on my gates. I have a doggie door and the back door is always open. I have a 5 year old pup that is very calming and caring. She has been great with other dogs. She is very nurturing and always makes sure those in her space are safe. I have a couple of stories I can provide about her. I am very hands on and constantly checking on my girl and will do the same for your furbaby. Safety is very important to me, not only for your furbaby but for myself and my furbaby as well.
“Christine was great to watch Chloe for an evening while we went out. We liked being able to do a meet and greet prior. Appreciated the secure backyard. It was comforting to know our girl was in good hands while we were gone.”
“Lori was incredible and compassionate, promptly responding to my text messages. Since it was my first time leaving my puppies with someone, I would strongly recommend Lori and Rover. Thank you for making this experience so delightful.”
“Misti was so wonderful and so sweet to our puppy! She took great care of him while we had an event and was very flexible with pick up and drop off times. We will definitely use her again in the future!”

“My dog was very well cared for and thoroughly exhausted from playing all day! This was a last minute need for care that will result in more visits! I received updates during her time with Alex and Jacquline and a detailed report of her care with a welcome to return for our happy pup. Thank you for taking such amazing care of Sunny! It put me at ease during our time away.”
About: While this is my start of professional dog sitting, I’ve been watching family and friends’ pets for many years. I even fostered a dog with behavioral issues a couple of years ago. My dog is my whole world and any pet in my care gets the same attention. I WFH most days, going into the office for a half a day every Wednesday and 3 full days at the beginning of the month. My job doesn’t require me to be glued to my computer so I can be very flexible with my schedule most days. I have a fenced in backyard with plenty of space to runaround. For wet or cold days, I have a mostly empty finished basement for playing. For dogs that want daily walks, I live in a safe neighborhood where I walk my own dog multiple times a day.
About: I’ve had dogs, cats, and even chickens in my life for as long as I can remember. I’m also the go-to dog sitter for my sister’s two dogs, so I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets. I offer walks, drop-in visits, and dog sitting, always with plenty of attention and care. I currently work from home three days a week and in office two. The days in office vary per week. On the three days I work from home I’m available for walks throughout the day. I also can be available for boarding on most weekends. I'm able to stop by for a drop in visit, give your dog(s) a potty break and some loving interaction. I currently do not have pets of my own and live in a studio apartment in the River Market, surrounded by green space and a dog-friendly community.
About: Caring for dogs has always been a big part of my life, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. Whether it’s going on walks, playing, or just relaxing and giving lots of cuddles, I make sure your dog feels right at home. I’m reliable, patient, and committed to making your pet feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I am not currently working so my availability is open to care for your pets either in my home or yours. I am home all day most days unless it is to run out to grab my children from school. I have experience with crate training if that is preferred. I also have a large backyard for your pup to run around. I have experience with all age ranges (from puppies to elderly dogs)
About: I've taken care of cats and dogs since I was 13. I'm 35. There's plenty of space in the house and a fenced in yard. I am currently staying home for the summer with my 4 year old son. We will be home full time! Let us help with your fur baby! I have a fenced in yard and a basement if the animal needs space. We will take the dogs out regularly. They will be safe and loved here.

“Erika was able to meet with me on a moment's notice and was very reliable. She even worked it out to drive a little farther than she would have liked. Thank you Erika!”
About: I’ve had dogs all my life and it seemed the family dogs always gravitated toward me. I can’t imagine life without them! I’ve been caring for other’s dogs ever since I got my drivers license. The first dog I watched for a family (a beautiful Alaskan husky) had diabetes and required diabetic shots twice a day. Even though it hurt to have to give him shots, I loved having the opportunity to care for dogs other than my own. Since then I’ve had the opportunity of being the go-to dog watcher for several families with several different dog (and cat) breeds. I will make every effort to give your dog the same care that I was able to give Skyler and the rest of the dogs I’ve had the great fortune of watching and taking care of. There’s not many things that give me more joy than spending time with dogs. Now that I have more time on my hands in my 30’s I have recently gotten connected with volunteering with KC Pet Project. Dogs deserve all the love in the world. I currently work from home Monday and Friday so in addition to the weekend, it opens up availability to be present for the doggie. I’m in the office Tuesday - Thursday but available for morning/evening and quick bathroom breaks over lunch. I have a fenced in backyard and ample space inside the house to make your dog comfortable. I can crate if needed, but also have rooms that can function as “dog” rooms for the periods when I need to leave the house. I have my own Belgian Malinois, who mostly does her own thing. :)
About: I’ve grown up with dogs all my life and love them more than people so let me put all my dog-loving energy into spoiling yours! I work in education so am off during summer break (all of June through mid-July) and available to meet your dogs needs whether it’s a puppy working on training or a senior who needs to take it slow :) I work full time in education so have long break availability (winter and summer break). During the school year, I am mostly only available on weekends but can be flexible with some evenings during the week. Just let me know what you need! I will be respectful of your space when in your home. I can come in and out or sit and stay awhile to keep your pup company.
“Theresa is absolutely wonderful. She was so flexible in the time we needed her due to our game being delayed. She kept us up to date about the pets with severe weather in the area. Amazing!!!!”
“Love having Jessica over to walk my pup. She's so good with animals and you can see how much see loves them. Such a comfort having her walk my sweet pup during the day”
“Abigail was simply amazing with the dogs! She was very good with them, send frequent updates when she walked them, including pictures! You could see the happiness in their faces, and that they were enjoying their time with Abigail. It was a huge relief to know that they were being taken care of when I couldn't be there for them. I would recommend Abigail to anyone!”
About: I am an experienced house sitter, and I love helping animals feel safe and comfortable! I have a lot of energy to give to pets that need it. I work four days a week, and then have three day weekends. On the days that I work, I will spend all of the other time with the dogs I'm taking care of, and on days where I don't work, I might be out of the house for short appointments, but most of my time is spent at home. I am very detail-oriented, so I will make sure I follow instructions and schedules accurately. I respect the privacy of homeowners, and will gladly communicate with the client as much as desired.
About: As a dog owner and cat lover, I’ve dog sat, house sat, and cat sat for many loved ones in my life! I am currently on summer break, meaning I am home 24/7 and am able to accommodate for all different pet needs! In addition, I live near a beautiful park that is perfect for dog walking! I’m currently on summer break, so I am dedicated to giving my full attention to your fur babies! I am available for daily walks, lots of play time, and anything else your pet may need! I have one very friendly Cavapoo who would love a playmate during the summer! I am determined to make your pets comfortable, whether that be watching them in my home or your own.
About: Growing up I always had some sort of pet whether that be my bearded dragon, leopard gecko, cats, dogs, birds, all of it. I recently lost my disabled kitty but he taught me lots about medication administration, accessibility, and so many more things that are needed when working with a disabled or any kind of medical condition in pets. I now have a kitten and thankfully my childhood dog is still alive which I’m very grateful for. I’d love to spend time with your babies too! I live in Columbia because my boyfriend goes to Mizzou, but I currently am not working anywhere, so I can help you out anytime, anywhere:) I am very careful when it comes to pet safety. Like mentioned earlier my baby, Theo, is disabled as well as special needs. He takes medication and has to have certain accommodations around the apartment just for him. Making sure he is safe is a big priority as well as a big priority for your pet too!
About: i have been working with pets (dogs and cats of every breed) for the past 15 years. Dog groomer for the past 11 years (retiring at the end of July 2026) I have two cats of my own (Asta and Bandit) and a Dobie (Cipher). I love caring for all types of animals and going for walks in nature. let me take special care of your fur babies! 🦮😻 currently working as a dog groomer, last day is july 31st. i will have full flexibility after that! right now i am available in the late afternoon and evenings! i have two indoor cats that are both friendly and a backyard for your pet to play in! i also have a crate for small and large dogs if needed.
About: I have loved and owned animals as long as I can remember. I was raised with dogs, and other small animals! My daughter and I lost our Ollie in August 2022 at 4 years old to lung cancer and would love to care for your pet until we are ready for our next family member. I am comfortable taking care of pets of any age. I can provide food and water bowls, blankets, dog beds, stuffed toys, and I have a medium size kennel. All you need to bring is food, treats, leash/harness and any special comfort items. My daughter loves to go outside every chance she gets so they will have a lot of outside time when the weather permits. They will be allowed to roam the house as they want and are allowed on furniture – like I said- spoiled. I love to send pictures while you are gone to share their adventures while they are here. I do work for the school district 11am-1:30pm but I will be around a majority of the time to play and take care of your family member while they are here. Any drop offs and pick ups will need to be before 9am or after 2:30pm I have a fenced in yard – it is a short fence so fence jumpers are probably not the best fit for me. We can crate them when we are gone if needed and will do our best to stick to their regular routine.
“Dependable, knowledgable and kind are the key words I would use to describe Jennifer's service. She has cared for our puppy twice, both times she walked him with her own dog, fed him and played with him. I came home to find a happy content puppy. Thanks Jennifer!”
About: I’ve always been on top of the care of many dogs in my family and friends. I’ve been watching some dogs on this app as well and would love to expand on that. I’m a registered nurse working 3x a week. I have 4 days off a week that I can fully commit to caring for your pet. I live in a very pet friendly apartment. There’s plenty of walking space as well as a pet spa for baths. I have space for crates as well in my apartment
About: *Please make sure your profile is accurate. I cannot accommodate pets that don’t get along with other animals.** I’ve had dogs my entire life and until recently was working at a vet clinic. I love animals and look forward to being able to help you with your fur babies! I have a very flexible schedule. I am available early mornings, mid-day/afternoon and late. I am open to long term or short term needs. Please make sure that your pet is dog friendly. Thanks!! ❤️ I do have a dog, Lola, who is very social and has yet to meet a dog she doesn’t want to play! I live in a townhome and do have a small fenced in outdoor area. I work remotely and can accommodate most schedules. I am able to walk early mornings, mid day and any time in the evenings as needed. I am able to walk as often as needed. Pets are treated like family and allowed on furniture as long as they aren’t chewers and pretty much have free range.
